VI. Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（共50分）
A. Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分）
Do you agree with gene(基因) editing?
Andy: Every year, many babies are born with genetic(遗传的) problems. If we
can get rid of these problems by editing their genes, we can save many lives.
Meanwhile, editing genes allows parents to choose their babies’ appearance and
even intelligence. This can give their children a better future. However, to stop
some people from using this technology in bad ways, it’s necessary to have laws
that tell us how we are allowed to edit genes.
九年级英语 第4页 共8页Diana: Parents make the decision to edit a baby’s genes without their children’s
agreement. This goes against the rights of these unborn children. More importantly,
this technology may destroy humans’ genetic diversity(多样性). In my opinion,
you are unique and no one can replace you. However, this could change if parents
can edit their babies’ genes. Everyone might look the same someday.
Cici: This new technology can help fix babies’ problems that they are born with,
like heart diseases. Many children suffer from these things. 61 But with
this technology, all babies can be born healthy and their parents won’t have to
worry about them.
Kate: This technology could be risky. It could result in some problems for babies
if it is not used properly. Their parents may regret this. What’s worse, if only
rich people can afford it, gene editing could be seen as unfair to poor families.
The rich would be able to make their children clever and good-looking, while
ordinary people could not. Rich families would get richer and poor families
would get poorer.
( ) 59. What does Andy think is needed to prevent people from using gene editing in wrong ways?
A) Getting rid of genetic problems. B) Laws to control gene editing.
C) Making the technology expensive. D) Guidance to help parents make decisions.
( ) 60. ________ thinks that editing babies’ genes without their agreement goes against their rights.
A) Andy B) Diana C) Cici D) Kate
( ) 61. Which of the following is the suitable sentence to fill in the blank in Cici’s opinion?
A) They have nothing to do but break the laws.
B) Their parents can give them a bright future.
C) They will live like normal people in their childhood.
D) Their parents have to spend a lot of money to keep them healthy.
( ) 62. What problem will gene editing cause according to Kate?
A) Everyone might look the same someday.
B) People will use the technology in bad ways.
C) Parents may suffer from serious heart diseases.
D) The gap between the rich and the poor will become bigger.
( ) 63. The underlined word “it” in Kate’s opinion refers to ________.
A) the cost of gene editing B) the risk of using the technology
C) the decision to edit a baby’s genes D) the agreement on the baby’s appearance
( ) 64. The passage above is mainly about ________.
A) different ways of gene editing B) the research on gene editing
C) different attitudes about gene editing D) the development of gene editing

In recent years there has been a shortage of people applying to work as waiters in the UK. Because
of this, some b 71 are using robots in different jobs to replace humans. Some robots can already
make pizzas, and others operate as waiters. Some of them look like bookshelves on wheels, with shelves
for trays and plates. They can g 72 customers and show them to their table, while human employees
take food orders and load the plates on and off the robots. Some people think robots are the future of
dining, but others say it’s not a good idea. What do you think, should robots work in restaurants?
九年级英语 第6页 共8页Yes - robots are efficient and fun
Robots are a great s 73 for those restaurants that are short of waiters. They are expensive to
buy but they don’t need to be paid, so they can work out cheaper than people. Also, machines don’t need
breaks or holidays, and they can work long hours, which humans find t 74 . Some people say that
robots make fewer mistakes than humans, plus they can do the basic jobs that are boring for people,
freeing up the human waiters to do more complicated jobs. Besides, robots are a fun addition because
they can a 75 new customers to restaurants.
No - robots can’t replace people
Who wants to talk to a machine? Diners want human communication, and some people might even
find a robot waiter upsetting. Also, considering how much they cost, robot waiters don’t do much. They
can’t answer questions that they aren’t p 76 to answer, so a human will often have to step in anyway.
Plus, most of the robot waiters used at the moment require staff to load and unload their trays. Even if
they were amazing, we shouldn’t use them instead of humans, because it’s unfair to take people’s jobs away.
Also, robot waiters may not react f 77 enough if an object or a person appears unexpectedly in their
path, and what if they run out of power or drop things?

D. Answer the questions （根据短文内容回答问题）（12分）
Lucy Larcom was one of the most famous poets in America. Today she is best remembered for her
book, A New England Girlhood, which tells about her growing-up years as a mill(工厂) girl.
Lucy was born in 1824. As a young girl, she enjoyed exploring the woods near her house and playing
with her brothers and sisters.
When Lucy was 7 years old, her father died suddenly, turning her life upside down forever. Lucy’s
mother struggled to find the money to feed and clothe her big family. Not many jobs were open to women
then. One of the few places women could find paid work was in the water-powered cloth mills. So Mrs
Larcom made a difficult decision. She uprooted her family from the quiet village and moved to the busy
factory town of Lowell.
In Lowell, Lucy’s older sisters quickly found jobs in the cotton mills. Lucy attended the local
elementary school. When Lucy turned 11, her mother told her that it was time for her to follow her older
sisters into the cotton mills. The family needs the money Lucy could earn.
At first, Lucy was excited about becoming a mill girl. Helping to support her family made her feel
grown up. Besides, she disliked her school in Lowell because she was afraid of the schoolmaster, who
whipped his students with a leather strap when they forgot their lessons. Yet working at the cotton mill
was much harder than Lucy had ever imagined.
At the end of her first year in the cotton mill, Lucy got a great chance to go back to school for three
months. Those days back at school were a huge success. Her kind and dedicated new teacher made
learning a delight. Lucy moved ahead so quickly with her lessons that by the end of her short school term
she was ready to progress to high school.
九年级英语 第7页 共8页Lucy dreamt of leaving her mill girl days behind to attend high school. However, she knew that her
family needed the money, so she returned to the hated mill, feeling 82 . When Lucy turned 21,
she finally left the mill for good. Eager to continue her education, she then went to a women’s college.
When Lucy finished her training in 1853, she became a teacher at Wheaton School. There she founded a
literary society. And her poetry began to appear in newspapers and magazines.
In the book, Lucy emphasized that she never regretted her years working as a mill girl. “I had early
been saved from a great mistake; for it is the greatest of mistakes to begin life with the expectation that is
going to be easy, or with the wish to have it so. What a world it would be, if there were no hills to climb!”
