22、Gene therapy (治疗)—which involves fixing or replacing a disease-causing gene or changing its activity—has recorded some remarkable successes and some fatal missteps. Having experienced those extreme ups and downs in the past decade, gene therapy has now begun advancing at a rapid pace. This report explores how the field has moved beyond its early failures and fully grown to embrace its bright future.
Over the past few years, not only has the discipline changed but the definition of gene therapy has evolved. Today the field includes not just direct, permanent changes to a cell’s DNA but also temporary changes to how genes are translated into proteins. Researchers have now reported a number of success stories: they have alleviated some cases of blindness. Cured cancers, addressed the underlying causes of some blood diseases, and begun to treat some born disorders.
The history of gene therapy has had a lot to overcome, especially at the lab bench. Early tragedies led researchers to different paths- while some of them turned away from the field, others fought to pursue ways to prevent the side effects. What has resulted is a range of new viral vectors (载体), engineered to mix their genetic material more safely and efficiently into the genome, as well as the rapid development of tools, such as the Nobel Prize-winning technique known as CRISPR.
Gene therapy has more than compensated for its shaky scientific start and the field also managed to restore its reputation. Consequently, both patients and the public now connect this approach with the hope for seemingly miraculous cures. And with that hope comes other problems: problems of over-expectation, of affordability and of accessibility. Current gene therapy approaches are pricey and not easily available, and both issues limit their possible reach. Solving these problems may be the field’s next big challenge.
【1】What does the underlined word “alleviated” mean in the second paragraph?
A．Developed.
B．Changed.
C．Relieved.
D．Recorded.
【2】Why does the writer mention the Nobel Prize winning technique in paragraph 3?
A．To prove the high efficiency of gene therapy.
B．To show the scientific advance of gene therapy.
C．To present the promising future of gene therapy.
D．To indicate the potential problem of gene therapy.
【3】According to the passage, what limits the possible reach of current gene therapy?
A．Its technical problem.
B．Its ruined reputation.
C．Its patient-friendly price.
D．Its limited availability.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Gene Therapy Comes of Age
B．Gene Therapy Rewrites the History
C．Gene Therapy Breaks the Cycle
D．Gene Therapy Edits Human Lives

24、“My Harvard classmate Ruth is being appointed to the Supreme Court,” my mom told me casually one spring day in 1993.
That’s when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg first came into focus for me. In 1956, Mom and Ruth were the only two women in their section that first year of law school, both top of their class and only children, having lost their mothers a few years before.
I have a harder time feeling what my mom must have felt sitting down next to a male classmate, giving him a friendly “hello” and hearing a rude “I’m married!”
Ruth had a toddler at home and focused on law. Her husband, Marty, became seriously ill her second year in law school. Mom recalled visiting Marty in the hospital, something still remembered by Ruth.
Mom rarely kept up even with her closest friends. That’s how many working women of her generation operated: full steam ahead, no time for sentiment.
I never met Justice Ginsburg. When the documentary about Justice Ginsburg, came out in 2018, Mom and I watched the trailer on a tablet in her room at a care facility.
In a Slate interview about the 10 other women in her Harvard Law class, Justice Ginsburg singled out my mom as her closest classmate. I was so moved that I wrote a letter thanking her for remembering my mom so fondly! I also said how I’d struggled to sum up Mom’s extraordinary life in an obituary.
Justice Ginsburg wrote mc back in August, “Your mother was the only other woman in my first-year section. We were good friends in law school, and remained occasionally in touch in the following years. She cared about the right things and was brave as can be.”
I never experienced sitting next to Justice Ginsburg in a lecture hall full of men. But as I read that, it was as though I could feel her hand on my shoulder.
【1】Which of the following statements about Ruth and the author’s mother is TRUE according to the passage?
A．They worked in the same field after graduation.
B．They were the only two women students in law school.
C．They were closely related to each other after graduation.
D．They were the best students in their class in the first year of law school.
【2】Which of the following best describes Ruth?
A．Diligent and outstanding.
B．Sociable and energetic.
C．Kind and generous.
D．Sensitive and tough.
【3】The passage mainly talks about ________.
A．a life-long friendship between two women
B．two women with extraordinary achievements
C．Justice Ginsburg, a brave fighter against sex prejudice
D．Justice Ginsburg, an influential woman in the author’s life

26、阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
“When should I begin to acquire good habits?”a young boy asked his teacher.
“How old are you?” asked the teacher.
“Eight years old, sir.”answered the boy.
“Then you have just lost eight years,”the teacher replied.
There is no doubt that habits are formed at a very early age．When one is young, it is easy to acquire good habits.
Good habits are practices that help us in our daily life．The habit of brushing one’s teeth in the morning, for instance, keeps one’s teeth clean and prevents a bad smell which is unpleasant to others．Bad habits such as sticking one’s tongue out, biting one’s fingernails and picking one’s nose, are undesirable ways of behaving in front of others．If we want people to enjoy being with us, we should try to develop habits that are pleasant.
It is said, “We sow an act; we reap a habit．We sow a habit and we reap a character.” The habits we formed at an early age shape our character．Habits are like tributaries(支流) which flow into a river．The river is made up of all its tributaries; a person’s character is made up of all the habits that he or she has acquired over the years.
