Smoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right?

Wrong

New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes(基因) will stay there for a much longer time. In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed—a number that is one-third of known human genes.

According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.

When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.

This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years. It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥)—it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.

Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.

1.The function of Paragraph 1 is to ________.

A. show the main idea of the passage B. give an example

C. make an argument D. introduce the topic of the passage

2.Most genetic changes happen because of ________.

A. people’s condition at birth B. people’s bad living habits

C. environmental pollution D. heart disease and cancer

3.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to ________.

A. the genetic change B. the cement

C. the harmful effect D. the footprint

4.Which of the following statements is true?

A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.

B. The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking

C. The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.

D. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.

Small and round transparent water bottles filled with natural water could help provide a solution to London's plastic waste problem,according to Skipping Rocks Lab,the company in the British capital that produces them.They added that the balls have been made of plant and seaweed extracts and will decompose（分解）after four to six weeks if not consumed.

With many cities struggling to get rid of vast numbers of used plastic water bottles,the 'Ooho' has begun to meet the thirst of consumers in San Francisco and London.A report published last Thursday said more than 4,000 plastic bottles had been removed from the River Thames in a month last year,proving the scale of the waste problem.

"We think Ooho may not be the solution for all the applications that plastic bottles have,but definitely for short term consumption it could be a solution,"said Rodrigo,the founder of Skipping Rocks Lab.In a trial near London Bridge last Wednesday,Ooho drew a mixture of surprise,amusement and delight among those who sampled them. London's city assembly said Ooho was a step forward."It could be part of the solution but not the only solution.You also need to be able to refill bottles at railway stations for example,"said Leonie Cooper,the Chair of the assembly's environment committee.

The company aims to target,among other consumers,marathon runners,who will be able to eat the Oohos mid-race without concerns about the environment.It is also considering sealing alcohol for a whole new market. "People see these small round bubbles and they just think 'shots'.So that's definitely something we're looking at,"said Skipping Rocks Lab Chief Operating Officer Lise."We have sealed alcohol,we want to perfect it,and hopefully this will be the great change of the future."

1.'Ooho' can help solve the plastic waste problem because .

A. it is small and transparent B. it is filled with natural water

C. it is made of plant and seaweed D. it can disappear some time later

2.How is Rodrigo's comment on 'Ooho'?

A. Subjective. B. Unreal.

C. Objective. D. Ridiculous.

3.In which column can we find the text?

A. Technology and Invention. B. Health and Medicine.

C. Industry and Economy. D. Tourism and Development.

【吉林省長白山市2017屆高三第二次模擬】

A

I am a 21-year-old boy, and this is my story.

One month after I graduated from high school in 2009,I was coming home from swim practice and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma（昏迷）for over two months at Prince Georges Hospital.

I died eight times during my coma and I couldn’t talk or communicate when I woke up. Walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were almost shattered. But I was not going to let my injuries prevent me from living my dreams.

After 14 operations and blood transfusions, I had to learn how to talk, eat, walk, shower and live independently again. When I was out of hospital, I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland. After spending a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I could walk again, but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but run. When it came true, I wanted to get back in the pool again. After a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training, I began my freshman year at St.Mary’s College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.

By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me around in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, things would work out for the best.

1.When the car accident happened, the author________.

A. was a high school student B. had finished his high school education

C. was a college student D. was returning home from a swim competition

2.What does the underlined word “shattered” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Begun B. Destroyed C. Shared D. Taken

3.It can be inferred that the author ________after he woke up from his coma.

A. was out of hospital B. was in surprise

C. faced physical and mental challenges D. was worried about his lung

4.What does the author mainly want to show in the last paragraph?

A. His purpose of sharing his story. B. His painful experiences.

C. His influence on students. D. His great achievements.
