【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。哈佛大学公共卫生科学家GabrielRangel的一篇文章称,基因修饰可以追溯到古代,当时人类通过选择性繁殖生物体来影响基因。经过几代人的重复,这个过程会导致生物体发生巨大变化。文章主要介绍了有关基因改造的相关内容。12.Whatdoestheword“docile”inParagraph2mostprobablymean?A.Gentle.

B.Loyal.C.Smart. D.Ambitious.【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据上文“...theaggressivecanineswerekeptinthehouseholdandbred...”及画线词后“...easiertogetalongwith.”可推断好斗的犬科动物被养在家里,并被培育成温顺、容易相处的动物,由此可知画线词意思是“温顺的”。13.Howdidtheancientfarmerstrytoimprovewheat?A.Throughselectivecultivation.B.Byeditingitsgenesconstantly.C.Throughmixturewithteosinte.D.Byplantingitinlargenumbers.【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段中Ancientfarmersselectivelybredwheatgrassesbeginningaround9000B.C.tocreateimprovedvarietieswithlargergrainsandhardierseeds.可知大约从公元前9000年开始,古代农民选择性地培育小麦草,以创造出更大的谷物和更坚韧的种子的改良品种。由此可知,

古时候的农民是通过选择性栽培来改良小麦的。14.Whatcanweinferaboutgeneticmodification?A.Itisrarelyseenindailylife.B.Itisquitedifficulttoaccept.C.Itishardlyinfluencedbyhumans.D.Ithasplayedaroleinmedicalfield.【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据最后一段中In1982,humaninsulinmadefromgeneticallyengineeredbacteriabecamethefirstgeneticallyengineeredhumandrugsapprovedbytheFDA.可知1982年,由基因工程细菌制成的人体胰岛素成为第一个被FDA批准的基因工程人体药物。由此可推断,基因改良在医疗领域起着一定的作用。15.Fromwhichsectionofanewspaperisthetextmostprobablytaken?A.Health. B.Lifestyle.C.Science.
