29、认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题 卡上将该项涂黑。 A Downloading files is one of the primary uses of the Internet. You can find virtually anything online, 5 and chances are that youve been downloading files ever since you started using your computer. Your Operating System will attempt to put all
30、of your downloads in one central location, but eventually you may have downloaded files all over your computer. Knowing how to quickly find your downloaded files can save you a lot of time and headache. Check your Downloads folder（文件夹）. Windows includes a Downloads folder that acts as the default (默
31、认的) download location for most programs for every user. There are a couple of ways you may be able to find your Downloads folder: Click the Start menu and then click your user name. You should see a Downloads folder in the window that opens. Open Windows Explorer Win+E. Your Downloads folder may be
32、listed in the left frame under “Favorites“ or “Computer/This PC“. Press Win+R and type shell: downloads. Press Enter to open the Downloads folder. Check other locations. If you download with a lot of programs, chances are that your downloads have become a bit spread out. Other popular places for you
33、r downloads to appear are your Desktop and your Documents/My Documents folder. If you have a secondary drive that acts as a file storage, check to see if youve created a download folder on it as well. Search for the file. If you know the name of the file you downloaded, you can search for it to quic
34、kly open it. Press Win and start typing the name of the file. You should see it appear in the search results. Open your downloaded files. You shouldnt have much difficulty opening most files that you download online, but you may run across a few file types that can give you problems. See the guides
35、below for details on opening these troublesome files. Playing MKV video files 56. This passage aims to instruct Internet users _. A. how to download files from the Internet B. how to search for files on the Internet C. how to find files downloaded from the Internet D. how to open the folders on the
36、Internet 57. If you cant find the file at the default download location in your computer, you might try to _. A. press Win+R B. click My Documents C. extract an RAR file D. open the Downloads folder. B Scientists say they have used the gene-editing tool CRISPR to repair a persons eyesight for the fi
37、rst time. The CRISPR tool makes it possible to change DNA to add needed genes or take some away if they lead to problems. A patient recently had the procedure done for an inherited form of blindness. The operation took place at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland. “We literally have the
38、 potential to treat people who are essentially blind and make them see,” said Charles Albright. He is chief scientific officer at Editas Medicine in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Editas is one of the companies developing the treatment. Albright added, “We think it could open up a whole new set of medici
39、nes to go in and change 6 your DNA.” The people taking part in the study have a genetic condition that keeps the body from making a protein needed to turn light into signals to the brain, which leads to sight. Scientists have found it difficult to treat the condition with usual gene therapy. So, the
40、y are aiming to edit or remove the mutation （突变） by making two cuts on either side of it. The hope is that the ends of DNA will reconnect and make the gene work as it should. Through a tube the width of a human hair, doctors put three drops of fluid containing the gene editing machinery just under t
41、he retina（视网膜）, which is the lining at the back of the eye that contains the light-sensing cells. Doctors believe they need to fix one-tenth to one-third of the cells to repair vision. In animal tests, scientists were able to correct half of the cells with the treatment, Albright said. Some independ
42、ent experts were hopeful about the new study. Dr. Kiran Musunuru is a gene-editing expert at the University of Pennsylvania. He said the treatment seems likely to work, based on tests in mice and monkeys. The gene editing tool stays in the eye and does not travel to other parts of the body. So, “If
43、something goes wrong, the chance of harm is very small.” Musunuru said. “It makes for a good first step for doing gene editing in the body.” 58. Who can most possibly benefit from this new treatment? A. Patients who are essentially color-blinded. B. Patients who turn blind due to accidents or diseas
44、es. C. Patients who are born with no ability to see. D. Patients who lose their vision at a young age. 59. Which is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The result of the treatment. B. The theory of the treatment. C. The difficulty of the treatment. D. The disadvantage of traditional treatment. 60. What is
45、likely to be discussed after the last paragraph? A. The function of the gene-editing tool. B. The limitation of the gene-editing tool. C. The effect of the treatment on animals. D. The research of the treatment on humans. C Dec 21st 2018 On December 19th Gatwick airport, Britains second-biggest, was
46、 forced to close due to several sightings of drones（无人机）flying near its runways. The airport only reopened on the morning of December 21st. . The potential for an incident of this scale has been recognized for some years now. The falling price of small drones in recent years has resulted in the numb
47、er flying dangerously near aircraft to rise sharply. . This is a threat that the authorities have to take seriously. Recent research suggests that small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be much more damaging than birds a surprisingly common cause of aircraft crashes at the same impact speed, even
48、 if they are a similar weight. The researchers found that the drones rigid and dense materialssuch as metal, plastic and lithium batteriescan put 7 aero planes at much greater risk than a bird carcass（动物尸体）. If a drone were to hit an aircrafts fan blades when it is operating at its highest speed, the blades could break and power to the engine could be lost. . But it also underlined the potential for destruction that drones afford. The British police do not think that terrorism was the motivation behind the latest
