22．（8分） A freshly baked roll is as delightful as a soft，light cloud on a summer's gives bread much of its appealing texture is gluten，a group of proteins found in in people with celiac disease(乳糜泻)，gluten damages the small intestine(肠).Many others may have milder gluten intolerance and avoid foods that contain it.
Most gluten-free bread is made from alternative flours such as rice or potato，so it tastes and feels different from wheat ，however，researchers say that they have found a way to genetically engineer wheat that contains far less of the most troub
lesome type of gluten—but still has other proteins that give bread its characteristic taste and springiness.
Genetically modified crops are the subject of fierce debate around the biggest concern involves the practice of inserting DNA from one species into another，says Francisco Barro，a plant avoid this genetic crossover，Barro and his colleagues used the gene-editing technique CRISPR／Cas9 to cut selected genes from a wheat genome(基因组).
Their study zeroed in on alpha-gliadins(α-胶质蛋白)，gluten proteins believed to be wheat’s major troublemakers in the immune researchers designed bits of genetic material that directed the scissor-like Cas9 protein to cut out 35 of the 45 alpha—gliadin the modified wheat was tested in a Petri dish，it produced an 85 percent weaker immune response，the team reported online last September in Plant Biotechnology Journal.
Wendy Harwood，a crop geneticist at the John Innes Center in England，who was not part of the study，notes that the engineered wheat has a long way to go before it can be turned into anything marketable.“I don’t think it's the end of the story.”she says.“This is just a really important step in maybe producing something that is going to be incredibly useful.”To develop a completely safe strain of wheat for celiac patients，the researchers may need to target more of the gluten says his team is working on that.

23．（8分）Robert Todd Duncan was born in 1903 in the southern city of Danville, Kentucky. His mother was his first music teacher. As a young man, he continued his music study in Indianapolis, Indiana.
In 1930, he completed musical education at Columbia University in New York City. Then he moved to Washington. For fifteen years, he taught music at Howard University in Washington. At that time, not many black musicians were known for writing or performing classical music. Teaching at Howard gave Duncan the chance to share his knowledge of classical European music with a mainly black student population. He taught special ways to present the music. These special ways became known as the Duncan Technique.
Besides teaching, Duncan sang in several operas with performers who were all black. But it seemed that he always would be known mainly as a concert artist. However, his life took a different turn in the middle of 1930s. At that time, the famous American music writer George Gershwin was looking for someone to play a leading part in his new work Porgy and Bess. A music critic (评论家) of The New York Times newspaper suggested Todd Duncan. Duncan had almost decided not to try for the part as he knew it would not be easy to get it. But he changed his mind. He sang a piece from an Italian opera to Gershwin. He had sung only for a few minutes when Gershwin offered him the part. He became famous because of the part in Porgy and Bess.
Todd Duncan gained fame as an opera singer and concert artist. But his greatest love in music was teaching. When he stopped teaching at Howard, he continued giving singing lessons in his Washington home until the week before his death.
