閱讀理解解讀
Expensive perfumes (香水) come in tiny bottles, but many hide a whale-sized secret.
28、
To perfect a particular smell, perfume-makers often use an ingredient that comes from sperm whales, called ambergris. But using ambergris, which helps a perfume last longer, is strongly opposed by many people who think it is wrong to kill whales just so we can smell sweet. Joerg Bohlmann is
29、neither a perfumer nor a whale expert. He's a plant biologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada. But his discovery of a new plant gene (基因) might push whales out of the perfume business.
The gene comes from fir trees, found throughout North America and commonly used as Christmas tr
30、ees. The trees produce a chemical that can be used in perfume in place of ambergris—but with_a_catch.
“There's a problem that many people wouldn't consider. In the tree, the chemical is mixed with many others. That makes separation a challenge，” Bohlmann says. “It's like trying to isolate sugar
31、 from a biscuit.”
This is where science becomes useful. When Bohlmann learned that fir trees produce the ambergris-like chemical, he decided to use his gene know-how to find the instructions for how to make the ambergris-substitute.
Bohlmann found that gene and took it out of the tree cells. The
32、n he did something that might sound strange to someone who doesn't work in genetics: Bohlmann put the gene from the tree into yeast (酵母) cells.
Yeast may sound familiar because it's used to make things like bread, wine and beer. Biologists like to work with yeast because it easily adopts new gen
33、es and changes its features and behaviour. When Bohlmann put the fir tree gene into the yeast, the yeast started making the same chemical that had been produced by the tree.
Perfumers pay big money for ambergris because it is a fixative, which means it holds a smell in place on a person's body.
34、
“Cheap perfumes smell good in the first hour or so and then everything is gone，” explains Bohlmann. “But expensive perfumes are much more stable. Their smell lasts much longer, for hours or even a day after you apply them.”
The new chemical, made from the tree genes, can be used as a fixative, t
35、oo. And using yeast to make it is far cheaper than acquiring ambergris.
Bohlmann admits he never thought he'd get into the perfume business. But now, he says, producers have been calling to find out how to use his technology in new perfumes.
文章大意：本文是一篇科普說明文。介紹了一種使香水香味持久的物質——龍涎香，因這一物質來自于鯨，所以遭到人們的
36、反對?？茖W家們發(fā)現(xiàn)一些樹中的化學物質可以用來取代它，他們利用酵母菌成功制造出了這些化學物質。
16．It can be inferred from the passage that if a perfume contains ambergris, ________.
A．its user probably supports whale hunting
B．its smell will last for about an hour
C．there will be a whale symbol on the bottle
D．it is probably very expensive
37、17．The underlined expression “with a catch” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A．being difficult to hold
B．having a hidden problem
C．needing further testing
D．being too similar
18．According to the passage, why are yeast cells often used in genetic researc
38、h?
A．They can take on the characteristics of other genes.
B．They can reproduce much faster than other cells.
C．They share some of the qualities of plant genes.
D．They're much cheaper to use than ambergris.
答案：A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第七段第二句中“it easily adopts new genes and changes its features and behaviour.”可
39、知，由于酵母菌容易吸收其他基因，并將目的基因成功表達出來，故常被用于基因工程研究中，故A項正確。
19．What can we learn about Joerg Bohlmann from the passage?
A．He is opposed to whale hunting.
B．He made his discovery during Christmas.
C．He has worked in the perfume industry for many years.
D．He has previously done genetic research.
20．What is
40、 the best title for the passage?
A．The Christmas tree's secret.
B．The sweet smell of success.
C．Whale-free perfume.
D．Save the whale.

I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on t
41、he radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffi
42、c light.
As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one a
43、pproached my car. “We are the Brother of the Wheel，” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the mon
44、ey in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.
Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and sou
45、ls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.
文章大意：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章講述了作者在等紅燈時見到了四位穿著皮夾克、騎自行車的年輕人，他們看起來粗魯而危險，然而他們正在為貧困兒童募捐，他們的目光充滿善良和友好。此事讓作者意識到，不能以貌取人，而應看他人的行動。
1．The writer's good mood e
46、nded when ________.
A．he heard news between songs
B．he had to stop at a red traffic light
C．he heard a rich man broke the law
D．he saw four leather-jacketed bikers

C．Raising money to help kids in need.
D．Preparing for Christmas holidays.
3．What does “bolstered” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A．Destroyed. B．Improved.
C．Decreased. D．Exploded.
答案：B 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段畫線詞的上下文內容可知，作者起初對這四個人印象不好，因為他們看起來很粗魯，并且很危險。但在得知他們真正的目的后，作者的看法改變了。作者對人性的認識得到了提升，明白了“不能以貌取人”的道理。因此bolster應與improve意思相近。故答案選B。
4．The writer wants to tell us that we should ________.
A．have faith in young people
B．judge others by their actions
C．change our attitude to society
D．manage to help others in need
