二、阅读理解。本大题共15小题，每题2分，共30分
（二）
A
The 2021 Nobel Prize in literature has been awarded to the novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah, for his “compassionate insight of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee”.
Gurah is a Tanzanian writer who writes in English and lives and works in the United Kingdom. He was born in Zanzibar, the semi-autonomous island off the east African coast. Zanzibar underwent a revolution in 1964 in which citizens of Arab origin were persecuted. Gurnah was forced to flee the country when he was 18. He began to write in English as a 21-year-old refugee in England. He has written numerous works that pose questions around ideas of belonging, colonialism, displacement, memory and migration.
He is one of the most important contemporary postcolonial novelists writing in Britain today and is the first black African writer to win the prize since Wole Soyinka in 1986. Gurnah is also the first Tanzanian writer to win.
Anders Olsson, chair of the Nobel committee, said that Gurnah’s novels abandon conventional descriptions and turn our eyes to a culturally diverse East Africa unfamiliar to many in other parts of the world.
Gurnah, who was in the kitchen when he was informed of his win, said that he believed it was a wind-up.
“I thought it was a prank,” he said. “These things are usually floated for weeks in advance, or sometimes months beforehand, about who are the winners, so it was not something that was in my mind at all. I was just thinking, I wonder who’ll get it?”
“I am honored to be awarded this prize and to join the writers who have been superior to me on this list. It is overwhelming and I am so proud.”
His longtime editor, Alexandra Pringle at Bloomsburg, said Gurnah’s win was “most deserved” for a writer who has not previously received due recognition.
16
What helped Gurnah win the Nobel Prize in literature?
A、His popularity among readers.
B、His life experience as a refugee.
C、His exploration of the suffering caused by colonialism.
D、His productivity in literary.
17
Which of the following about Gurnah is True?
A、He has an American origin.
B、He adopts English as his literary language.
C、He was made to flee England when he was 18.
D、He is the first black African writer to win the Nobel Prize.
18
What was Gurnah’s first reaction to his award?
A、Thrilled.
B、Honored.
C、Astonished.
D、Proud.
19
What did Alexandra Pringle think of Gurnah’s win?
A、It was an overdue recognition.
B、It was an unreasonable decision.
C、It depended on good luck.
D、It made East Africa famous.

One step too far
Scientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years now, and it looks like they've finally cracked (破解) the code. But while this may seem like a great step forward in science, some also believe that it's one step back when it comes to ethics.
In August, a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo and remove a genetic mutation (突变) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian.
This was achieved with the help of CRISPR, a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to “cut and paste” human DNA.
Although this was the first example of an embryo's genes being changed successfully, the benefits of gene editing have already been tested in living patients.
In 2015, a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer. As of today, she's alive and well.
And in the US last year, scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies.
Some people hope that in the future, diseases or birth detects could simply be “edited out”. However, others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies, giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence.
“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’ for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,”Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News.
In spite of these ethical concerns, experts say it’s not possible to create the “perfect” human being. Despite the progress scientists have made, we don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn child great brainpower or amazing singing abilities.
“Right now, we know nothing about genetic enhancement,” Hank Greely, a director of sciences at Stanford University, US, told The New York Times. “We’re never going to be able to say, honestly, ‘This embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT.’”
So it looks like if we want good exam results, or to impress people with our piano skills, we’ll have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work — at least for now. 
23
The underlined word “alter” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A、record
B、change
C、remove
D、increase
24
Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards？
A、They don't think it is an effective way to light diseases.
B、They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations.
C、They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality.
D、They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects.
25
What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing？
A、A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientists
B、A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells.
C、HIV cells were removed from patients’ bodies.
D、Some birth defects were simply edited out.
26
What can we conclude from the text？
A、Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects.
B、There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes.
C、Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future.
D、Scientists are pessimistic about the future of gene editing.
