The reason the tyres dont explode is because they are made of natural rubber. The tyres of cars, motorbikes and trucks are also often made of the same stuff
20、.Natural rubber comes from trees, Workers cut the trunks of the trees and collect a white liquid called latex. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, huge numbers of rubber trees were planted in countries including Malaysia, Burma and Brazil. More than a century ago, scientists discovered
21、how to make man-made rubber, but natural rubber is much stronger and can last much longer. Nearly half the rubber which is produced each year is natural rubber and there is always a need for more.Rubber trees are not easy to grow. They are affected by changes in temperature, to much or not enough ra
22、in, high winds and disease. Some trees survive while others die and its all down to their genes. Two British organizations, the Tun Abdul Razak Research Center (TARRC) and The Genome Analysis Center (TGAC), have been working together to look at rubber trees. This is the genes fit together in very lo
23、ng chains of DNA. The genome for a plant such as a rubber tree or animal needs to grow. The genome contains all the information the plant or animal needs to grow. The genome for a plant such as a rubber tree is smaller than a human genome but it is still very long, which is why it has been so diffic
24、ult to find. As Ewan Mollison of TARRC says, the work has been like putting a picture puzzle together where all the pieces show blue sea and blue sky.Now scientists can use the rubber tree genome to produce stronger trees. By understanding the genome, they can change the DNA in rubber trees in usefu
25、l ways. They can also do it much faster than before. In the future, it will be possible to grow trees which survive climate change and disease.4. What characteristics of natural rubber can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A. Inexpensive.B. FlexibleC. ConductiveD. Explosive.5. What made natural rubber so

28、he text?A. The Origin of Natural RubberB. The Application of Natural RubberC. Natural Rubber: Its All in the genesD. Natural Rubber VS Man-made Rubber【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了天然橡胶这种物质，因为其更坚韧更持久的特性，每年都需求量巨大，但是橡胶树不容易生长。它们会受到温度变化、雨量多或少、强风和疾病的影响。有些树能活下来，有些则会死去，这都取决于它们的基因。但是天然橡胶的基因很难被识别。
29、现在科学家们可以利用橡胶树的基因组来生产更强壮的树。通过了解基因组，他们可以用有用的方式改变橡胶树的DNA。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段Next time your plane lands, listen to the sound of the tyres hitting the ground. The reason the tyres dont explode is because they are made of natural rubber. The tyres of cars, motorbikes and trucks are also often made of the sa
30、me stuff.可知下次你的飞机着陆时，听听轮胎撞击地面的声音。轮胎不会爆炸的原因是因为它们是由天然橡胶制成的。汽车、摩托车和卡车的轮胎通常也是用同样的材料制造的。由此可推知，天然橡胶有灵活性。故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中More than a century ago, scientists discovered how to make man-made rubber, but natural rubber is much stronger and can last much longer. Nearly half the rubber which is produced e
31、ach year is natural rubber and there is always a need for more.可知一个多世纪前，科学家发现了制造人造橡胶的方法，但是天然橡胶更结实，使用寿命也更长。每年生产的橡胶几乎有一半是天然橡胶，而且总是需要更多。由此可知，天然橡胶比人造橡胶更坚韧更持久，让天然橡胶每年都如此需求量巨大。故选D。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中The genome for a plant such as a rubber tree is smaller than a human genome but it is still very long, which
32、 is why it has been so difficult to find. As Ewan Mollison of TARRC says, the work has been like putting a picture puzzle together where all the pieces show blue sea and blue sky.可知橡胶树等植物的基因组比人类的基因组要小，但仍然很长，这就是为什么很难找到它的原因。就像TARRC的Ewan Mollison说的，这项工作就像把拼图拼在一起，所有的碎片都展示了蓝色的大海和蓝色的天空。由此可推知，Ewan Mollison
33、的话表明橡胶树的基因组不容易被识别。故选C。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段Now scientists can use the rubber tree genome to produce stronger trees. By understanding the genome, they can change the DNA in rubber trees in useful ways. They can also do it much faster than before. In the future, it will be possible to grow trees which su
34、rvive climate change and disease.可知现在科学家们可以利用橡胶树的基因组来生产更强壮的树。通过了解基因组，他们可以用有用的方式改变橡胶树的DNA。他们也能比以前做得更快。在未来，人们有可能种植能够抵御气候变化和疾病的树木。结合文章主要介绍了天然橡胶这种物质，因为其更坚韧更持久的特性，每年都需求量巨大，但是橡胶树不容易生长。它们会受到温度变化、雨量多或少、强风和疾病的影响。有些树能活下来，有些则会死去，这都取决于它们的基因。但是天然橡胶的基因很难被识别。现在科学家们可以利用橡胶树的基因组来生产更强壮的树。通过了解基因组，他们可以用有用的方式改变橡胶树的DNA。由此
35、可知，C选项“天然橡胶：全靠基因”最符合文章标题。故选C。CAs humanity has got richer, animals roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine（内燃机）made horses unneeded; modern sanitation（卫生设备）kept rats in check an
36、d made cats less useful. No longer necessities, domestic animals became luxuries. Pet-keeping seems to kick in when household incomes rise above roughly $5,000. It is booming.The trend is not a new one. Archaeologists（考古学家）have found 10,000-year-old graves in which dogs and people are buried togethe
37、r. Some cultures - such as in Scandinavia, where dogs have long been both working dogs and companions - have kept pets for thousands of years.

It is evident in the growing market for pet clothing, pet grooming and pet hotels.People still assume that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps ma
41、king people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. Rather, new research suggests that dogs have evolved those irresistible “puppy - dog eyes” precisely to affect human emotions. It has worked. The species that once enslaved others now works very hard to pay for the care of its
42、 pets. Sentimental（多愁善感的）Americans often refer to themselves not as cat-owners but as the cats “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one further, describing themselves as cat “butlers”. Watch an unlucky dog-walker trailing “his” hound（猎犬）, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and you have to wond
