S. journal Science, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences(CAAS) and the University of Florida identified the chemical combinations and genetic recipe for better
12、 tomato flavor(味道).“In recent years, consumers often complain that the modern tomato is less flavorful than it once was” said co-principal researcher Sanwen Huang. “Our results provide a practical road map for breeding tomato varieties with better flavor.”For the study, a 170-person consumer group w
13、as created to evaluate 160 tomatoes representing 101 varieties, based on qualities such as “overall liking” and “flavor degree”. The results pointed to dozens of chemical compounds of interest, and further research using a statistical model discovered 33 flavor compounds connected with consumer liki
14、ng, such as glucose(葡萄糖). The reason why modern tomatoes dont taste good anymore is that a total of 13 of these flavor-associated compounds “were significantly reduced in modern varieties,” their paper wrote. Moreover, the researchers found that smaller fruit tended to have greater sugar content, su
15、ggesting that “selection for more sizable tomatoes has cost sweetness and flavor”.Based on this knowledge, Huang and Professor Harry Klee of the University of Florida studied the whole genomes of 398 varieties of tomato, identifying about 250 positions of genes on a chromosome(染色体), which controlled
16、 tomato flavor.“Were just fixing what has been damaged over the last half century to push them back to where they were a century ago,” said Klee in a statement. “We can make the supermarket tomato taste noticeably better.” Klee said new tomato varieties with better flavor could be ready in three to
17、four years. In addition, “the genes and pathways identified here in the tomato almost certainly point to pathways worth researching for improvement of flavor quality in other fruit crops,” they wrote.1、According to the text, the study _.Awas carried out just through a surveyBwas conducted by Chinese
18、 researchers themselvesCwas completely focused on the genes of different tomatoesDwas done with the background of declining flavor of tomatoes2、The researchers have found that _ in the study.Abigger tomatoes are much sweeterBsome genetic positions affect the taste of tomatoesCsome chemical compounds

21、ssary to protect our environment from further harm.As we know,the construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution.So green buildings are in great need.The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems and
22、biodiversity（生物多样性）,improved air and water quality,less waste flowing into streams and the protection of natural resources.Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality,improving the health of people
23、 who live there.The process of building green includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind.Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw.In addition,recycled resources found lo
24、cally are used for green buildings,reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.Careful site selection is important to minimize（最小化）human effect on the surrounding environment.For example,placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of
25、cool breezes（微风）and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses.More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well,so it is important to build small.Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost.These roofs are partially or completely covered with plant
26、s,which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low,prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.Other features of green buildings often include energy and water protection,recycling and waste reduction.In addition,renewable energy sources such as solar power,waterpower and wind power are used
27、 for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the influence on the environment.1、What can we know about green building?AProducing no waste. BOnly using clean energy.CBeing made of new materials. DEnvironmental friendly.2、What is a green building probably like according to the

29、23（8分）The minute Joe Serna walked into the Veterans Treatment Court, he could feel his shoulders tense up. He had come to turn himself in (自首).Six months earlier, Serna had been arrested for driving after drinking and was required to report to Judge Lou Oliveras court every two weeks to take a test
30、and prove he hadnt been drinking. Serna had passed every biweekly screeninguntil the week before. Positive. He decided to try to bluff his way out of trouble. “I never had a drink, Judge,” he told the court.Both Joe Serna and Judge Olivera were old soldiers, and Olivera had come to know and admire S
31、erna as he participated in the courts program to help old soldiers with drinking and addiction problems. And that was what had brought Serna back to Oliveras court a week after his lie. “This guy is a fellow soldier,” he told himself. “I need to make this right.” So Serna stood before Olivera and ad
32、mitted, “I lied, Judge. I was drinking.”After countless combats and the memories of many “best buddies” losing their lives, 39-year-old Joe Serna left the army in 2013 with 18 years of service. But in truth, the terrible memories had never left him and would reappear in nightmares. And thats the rea
33、son for his drinking. To this day, being stuck in a closed space can cause flashbacks (突然重现) for Serna.On the day when Serna admitted he had lied about drinking, the judge was moved and decided on the punishment: one night in jail.The next night, Joe Serna was in a small cell and felt he would soon
34、be flashing back to a terrible war. Then the door opened, and Judge Olivera came in. Serna was confused. But a few minutes later, he understood the judge had decided to spend the night with him. The two talked for hours about their service, their families, and their hopes for the future. At around o
35、ne in the morning, Serna fell asleep. “He will be OK now,” the judge said to himself as he rolled up his shirt into a makeshift pillow.1、Which can best replace the underlined words in the second paragraph?Aexplain without being disturbed Bget away with his wrong-doingCgive the court a little trouble
36、 Dgive up drinking in future2、What made Serna decide to turn himself in?AHis sickness in his shoulders. BHis admiration for Olivera.COlivera s help and identity. DThe advice of Sernas family.3、What can we know about Joe Sema?AHe didnt admit his fault and thus got punished.BHe lost his life direction
37、 and got himself drunk often.CHe had planned to talk more with Olivera in the cell.DHe joined the army when he was 21 years old.4、What would be the best title for the text?AAn Army of Two BA Considerate JudgeCTwo Soldiers War Experience DHonesty Is the Best Policy24（8分）Many foreign students report f
38、eeling lonely or unwelcome in Australia. Those feelings are among the reasons why Australia is taking a close look at its international education industry. But wherever international students go, making friends may not always be easy. Elisabeth Gareis of Baruch College in New York surveyed 454 inter
39、national students. They were attending four-year colleges and graduate schools in the American South and Northeast.Students from English-speaking countries and from northern and central Europe were more likely to be happy with their friendships. But 38% of the international students said they had no
40、 close friends in the United States. And half of the students from East Asia said they were unhappy with the number of American friends they had. Thirty percent said they wished their friendships could be deeper and more meaningful.Professor Gareis says, “Students from East Asia have cultures that a
41、re different on many levels from the culture in the United States. There are also language problems, and maybe some social skills, such as small talks, which are possibly not as important in their native countries, where its not as important to start friendships with small talks. Many East Asian stu
42、dents blamed themselves for their limited friendships with Americans, for not speaking the language well enough and for not knowing the culture well enough.”VOAs Students Union blogger Jessica Stahl did her own survey to find out how American students and foreign students relate to each other. More
43、than 100 students, about half of them American, answered her online questions. Half of the international students and 60 % of the Americans said they related as well or better to the other group than to their own group.Professor Gareis says, “International students who make friends with host nationa
44、ls are, overall, more satisfied with their stay in the host country. They have better language skills, better academic performance and better attitudes toward the host country.”1、What can be the best title for the text?AMaking Friends Is Not Always Easy for Foreign StudentsBStudents from East Asia A
