28、perfume­makers often use an ingredient that es 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 neither a perfumer nor a whale exper

29、t. 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 es from fir trees, found throughout North America and monly used as Christmas trees. The trees produce a chemical that ca

30、n 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 from a biscuit.” This is where science b

31、ees useful. When Bohlmann learned that fir trees produce the ambergris­like chemical, he decided to use his gene know­how to find the instructions for how to make the ambergris­substitute. Bohlmann found that gene and took it out of the tree cells. Then he did something that might sound strange

32、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 genes and changes its features and behaviour. W

33、hen 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. “Cheap perfumes smell good in the first hour

34、 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, too. And using yeast to make it is far cheape

35、r 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：本文是一篇科普说明文。介绍了一种使香水香味持久的物质——龙涎香，因这一物质来自于鲸，所以遭到人们的反对。科学家们发现一些树中的化学物质可以用来取代它，他们利用酵母菌成功制造出了这些化学物质

36、。 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 17．The underlined expression “with a catch” i

37、n 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 research? A．They can take on the characteristics of

38、 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　细节理解题。根据第七段第二句中“it easily adopts new genes and changes its features and behaviour.”可知，由于酵母菌容易吸收其他基因，并将目的基因成功表达出来，故常被用于基因工程研究中，故A项

39、正确。 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 the best title for the passage? A．The Chris

40、tmas tree's secret. B．The sweet smell of success. C．Whale­free perfume. D．Save the whale. 阅读理解解读 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 the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I

41、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 traffic light. As I pulled to a stop I noticed fou

42、r leather­jacketed 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 approached my car. “We are the Brother of the

43、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 money in his helmet and waved to the other biker

44、s 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 souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see

45、the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much. 文章大意：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者在等红灯时见到了四位穿着皮夹克、骑自行车的年轻人，他们看起来粗鲁而危险，然而他们正在为贫困儿童募捐，他们的目光充满善良和友好。此事让作者意识到，不能以貌取人，而应看他人的行动。 1．The writer's good mood ended when ________. A．he heard news betw

46、een songs B．he had to stop at a red traffic light C．he heard a rich man broke the law D．he saw four leather­jacketed bikers 2．What were the four bikers doing at the traffic lights? A．Having a bicycle race in the street. B．Selling helmets to the passers­by. C．Raising money to help kids in need

47、. 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　词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词的上下文内容可知，作者起初对这四个人印象不好，因为他们看起来很粗鲁，并且很危险。但在得知他们真正的目的后，作者的看法改变了。作者对人性的认识得到了提升，明白了“不能以貌取人”的道理。因此bolster应与improve意思相近。故答案选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
