Fifty Japanese graduates decided to gamble with their job opportunities at a mahjong tournament set up by interviewers looking for a different way to choose interviewees. Held in a crammed mahjong outlet in downtown Tokyo, competitors competed against each other on Friday to gain the chance to face interviewers from six companies in the fitness, education, technology and real estate sectors.
\marketing. This is a new approach and I find it really interesting,\Hasegawa, who desired to become a designer, told Reuters.
Mahjong, which originated in China, is similar to a western card game, and players in Japan said the game required skill, strategy, calculation and a degree of chance.
Organizers said the tournaments began in 2019 and had gained popularity, mostly among male students, and also with hirers, who said the game revealed more about the candidates than just long pages of resumes（简历).
On Friday, eight students advanced to the next round of the selection process. Between five and ten students are hired by participating companies every year, organizers said. 29. What did hirers mainly want to express in Para. 4? A. The rules of the game.
B. The qualifications of the candidates. C. The functions of the tournaments.
D. The advantages of long pages of resumes.
30. What is Tomoko Hasegawa's attitude toward mahjong? A. A very popular activity. B. A competition to win jobs.
C. A risk of gaining or losing money. D. A game related to a set of plans. 31. Why was the mahjong tournament set up? A. For employers to pick out interviewees. B. To promote the game of mahjong in Japan.
C. For college students to show their special talents. D. To improve employees' skills and working ability. D
Scientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change genetic
structure. Scientists already modify the genes of farm animals and agricultural plants to make them more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species of plants and animals that are destructive to other species.
In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it
·5·
warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released into the wild.
Sixteen biologists, ethicists(伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from the laboratory into nature.
Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction(繁殖).
Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to
reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a country's borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet. 32. What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have? A. Changing the Zika virus permanently. B. Removing the destructive species for ever. C. Having changed genes in their next generations.
D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.
33. As for genetically changed wild animals and plants ,what are scientists worried about? A. They may become weaker or die out. B. They may be more productive.
C. They may cause damage to their living habitat. D. Their genes may spread to later generations.
34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Scientists are not sure what exact results gene modification leads to. B. Scientists won't modify any genes before they make the final decision.
C. Gene modification has benefited some farm animals and agricultural plants.
D. Scientists have not applied gene modification to wild animals and plants in case of possible danger.
35. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Stop research on gene control B. How to change genetic structure C. Power and danger of gene control
D. Advantages of gene control in wild animals and plants 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Speaking is not equal to learning
1. You don't need to study grammar too much.
The first suggestion may sound strange to many students who begin to learn English, but it is exactly important. 36 However, if you want to speak fluently, you should try to
·6·
speak English without thinking too much of grammar. Studying grammar will only slow you down and make you hesitate. You will think about the grammar rules instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native. 2. You can't translate every word.
When you try to speak English, you do not need to translate every word from your
mother tongue. 37 Another problem you may meet is that you will misuse grammar rules that you have learned in your mother language. 3. 38 The reason why many people can learn well is that they often practise. But in order to speak English fluently, you need to practise speaking. When you study, don't just listen. Speak out loud the material you are listening to and practise what you hear. Practise speaking out loud until your mouth and brain can do it without any effort. 39 4. You should study correct material.
A phrase you often hear is, \
Practice only makes what you are practising permanent. If you practise the incorrect sentence, you will have perfected saying the sentence incorrectly.40 A. You should try to speak fluently.
B. You need to practise speaking what you hear.
C. By doing so, you will be able to speak English fluently.
D. If you want to pass examinations, you should study grammar well.
E. If you listen more, you can speak correctly and fluently sooner or later.
F. Therefore, it is important that you study material that is commonly used by mostpeople.
G. The order of words is probably completely different and you may be both slow and incorrect by
doing this.
