26、ear, it seems remarkable to argue that water might one day be more expensive than oil. Jean-Louis Chaussade, the chief executive of the French utility company Suez, argues that water scarcity(不足)is now one of the most pressing challenges facing many industries. He told the Financial Times last year

27、that he foresaw one day water would be more precious than oil.It isnt only a growing world population that places demands on water-industries such as energy and agriculture are also consuming more and more. The 2030 Water Resources Group, believes that by 2030 global demand will be 40 percent higher

28、 than it is today.The threat is now so acute that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in the US warned that disputes over water may lead to armed conflicts, particularly in areas such as Africa and the Middle Fast. A three-year drought in South Africa caused a water crisis earlier th

29、is year, with officials warning they may have to shut off most of Cape Towns taps.The most valuable water in the world is what we actually consume. With petrol at roughly1.29 a liter in the UK today, a bottle of water from some of big-name branded companies can already be about three times more. And

30、 it is not going to get any cheaper. The days of relying on water flowing through our taps are coming to an end. Around the world, 2. 1 billion people do not have immediate access to clean drinking water. And this isnt only a developing-world problem. In almost every country people have water stress

31、.Over the next ten years, if we do not come together to find answers to our water shortage, we will face major supply-related issues around the globe, not just with drinking water-our industries will be affected as well.28.

Agreement. D. Pollution.30. What can we learn from the text?A. Many people cant have clean water. B. Water i

33、s more expensive than oil now.C. Water is1.29 a liter in the UK today. D. Rich countries dont have water stress.31. What is the authors purpose of writing this passage?A. To tell us the pollution of water. B. To tell us the importance of water.C. To tell us the way to protect water. D. To tell us th

34、e situation of water stress.DCreating a new gene in a single day could soon be possible. The technology could one day let researchers speedily rewrite genes, enabling them to make new medicines and fuels on the fly.Researchers have been able to make DNA since the 1970s. The traditional approach take

35、s DNA nucleotides(核苷酸)and adds them, one by one, to a growing chain called an oligo (寡核苷酸). But the process is typically slow and error-prone, limiting oligos to about 200 letters-a tiny part of the thousands of letters that make up most genes.Over the decades, most researchers have settled on one p

36、articular polymerase(聚合酶), called TdT, because unlike others, it can attach new nucleotides to an oligo strand without following a DNA template strand. Scientists have tried for years to make TdT add one nucleotide at a time and stop, before repeating the process with a different nucleotide. But TdT

37、 doesnt work well with these modified nucleotides. TdT is very picky. Says Sebastian Palluk, a Ph. D. student. One such system, for example, required about an hour to add each modified base, far too slow to be practical.Ultimately. the approach should be cheap, because TdT is easy to manufacture in

38、bacteria. Its also fast. Most new nucleotides attach to the growing oligo in 10 to 20 seconds. For now, the step still takes a minute. So synthesizing a whole gene will still likely take the better part of a day.The new approach is not quite ready. So far, the group has made oligos only 10 bases lon

39、g. And there are still a few writing problems, as the approach was only 98%accurate at writing DNA, below the 99%accuracy of the traditional approach. In order to write oligos up to 1000 bases long, the approach will likely need to be 99.9%accurate.32. What is the drawback of the traditional way of

40、making DNA?A. It is too expensive. B. It is too hard to be carried out.C. It increases oligos to about 200 letters. D. It is too slow and there may be mistakes.33. Why have most researchers settled on TdT?A. Because it is cheap. B. Because it is easy to get.C. Because it is harmless to people. D. Be

41、cause it is easy to control.34. What can we learn from the text?A. Researchers have been able to make DNA recently.B. The new approach is quite ready without any problem.C. There is still some work to do before the new approach is practical.D. To write oligos 1000 bases long, the approach needs to b

42、e 99% accurate.35. Where is this text most likely from?A. A magazine. B. A diary. C. A novel. D. A guidebook.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Daily Habits of Naturally Productive PeopleWhen it comes to being more efficient at your job, you know the basics.
