A
When researchers made their first clone of an animal, Dolly the Sheep, in 1997, one doctor said: “The genie (妖怪) is out of the bottle.” But then he tried to actually create the “genie”--- by making a human clone.
Dr. Panayiotis Zavos told the public on October 5 that he could create the first cloned human before the end of the year. He is an expert on human copying and breeding from the University of Kentucky in the United States.
His workers have been stopped from carrying out research in most European Union countries, but Zavos said that fact was not slowing progress.
“It is going well enough so we may try the first production of cloned embryos in the very near future, that is, three or four months from now.” Cypriot-born Zavos said. He moved to the United States over 30 years ago.
Human cloning could, in effect, create a copy of another living or dead person.
But Zavos insisted there was nothing harmful in the project. As an expert on human reproduction, he said he is only interested in helping couples who cannot naturally have babies to have a child.
“We are not interested in cloning people like Bin Laden, Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan,” the doctor added.
“We are only interested in helping a father who does not have the ability to have a biological child of his own.”
Zavos said thousands of childless people from all over the world are helping in their research.
He would not say where the research is under way, but indicated that it is in more than one country.
56. According to Dr Panayiotis Zavos, _______.
A. their work was stopped from advancing by European Union
B. he will continue his try and is confident in his work
C. he is interested in cloning and breeding famous people.
D. cloning human is great progress in human history.
57. We may infer from this passage that ______.
A. some famous people can not be cloned at present
B. Dr Panayiotis Zavos is interested in children
C. his research is under way in many countries
D. many people support Dr. Panayiotis’ work
58. The best title for this passage is_______.
A. Cloning, Good or Bad
B. Who really Need Cloning
C. First Human Cloning Arriving Soon.
D. How Far Cloning Goes
B
All animals are part of the food chain: they are listed on someone else’s menu and always run the risk of ending up as someone else’s lunch, dinner or snack.
To protect themselves from being eaten and to survive in the wild, many animals have developed clever ways to escape from or avoid danger.
Like human beings, animals often try to hide or run away when they are being attacked. Many animals have adapted to their environment in such a way that they can hide better. Having the right colour can make a difference. Many animals have the same or similar colour as their environment, making it more difficult for other animals to find them. Some can change colour very quickly, even in a few seconds. Other animals and insects have a body shape that helps them hide. Some insects look just like a small stick and can easily hid in a tree or bush.
If it is too late to hide or run away, an animal must use other methods to survive an attack. One type of snake that lives in Texas has developed an interesting way to defend itself. If it is attacked, it first makes itself look bigger and pretends to be a dangerous snake. If that doesn’t work, the snake uses another trick: it rolls over, opens its mouth and acts as if it were dead. The snake is such a good actor that it seems quite dead. If someone picks it up, it hangs like a rope and doesn’t move. However, if you roll it back on its stomach, it will roll over on its back again in order to look dead.
Another way to survive an attack is to have useful body parts. The turtle has a thick shell that protects it from its enemies, and other animals have teeth, claws, and horns that they can use to defend themselves. There are also animals that can use their tails to fight off attackers. A long tail can be used to hit an attacker, and there is even an animal whose tail will break off so that it can run away if someone grabs it.
The best way to stay safe is to develop a way to receive an early warning when danger comes. Many animals stay together in large groups and use sounds and body language to warn each other if they see or hear something suspicious. Some animals even work together with other species to say safe. The birds you often see on the back of a water buffalo have an important job: they help warn the buffalo of danger.
59. What do all animals have in common to protect themselves?
A. Pretending to be dead B. Hiding or running away
C. Using their bodies to fight back D. Changing their size
60. How do you understand the sentence “All animals are part of the food chain:”
A. All animals must help each other to survive.
B. Every kind of animal has an eating-and-being-eaten relation with other animals.
C. All animals are a big family.
D. All animals depend on food to live.
61. The way animal develops its defence methods depend on all of the following except _____.
A. its habitat B. its body language
C. its shape and color D. body parts
62. The kind of snake mentioned in the passage “will roll over on its back again in order to look dead.” shows its_____.
A. cleverness B. stupidity C. quickness D. laziness
C
You want something you can’t get by behaving within the rules, and you want it badly, you’ll do it regardless of any guilt or deep regret, and you’re willing to run the risk of being caught. That’s how Ladd Wheeler, psychology professor at the University of Rochester in New York, defines cheating. Many experts believe cheating is on the rise. “We’re seeing more of the kind of person who regards the world as a series of things to be dealt with. Whether to cheat depends on whether it’s in the person’s interest.” He does, however, see less cheating among the youngest students. Richard Dienstbier, psychology professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, believes that society’s attitudes explain much of the increase in cheating. “Twenty years ago if a person cheated in college, that is extremely serious, he will be dropped for a semester if not kicked out permanently,” he says. “Nowadays, at the University of Nebraska, for example, it is the stated policy of the College of Arts and Science that if a student cheats in an exam, the student must receive an “F” on what he cheated in. That’s nothing. If you’re going to fail anyway, why not cheat? Cheating is most likely in situations where the interests are high and the chances of getting caught are low,” says social psychologist Lynn Kahle of the Univeristy of Oregon in Eugene.
63. The passage focuses on______.
A. making the reader believe that cheating is immoral
B. discussing the reasons for cheating
C. describing how students cheat in exams
D. suggesting how to control cheating
64. Cheating tends to occur in all the following situations except when____.
A. one wants something badly
B. one can’t get something in a right way
C. it is not quite possible to be found out.
D. a series of things have to be dealt with
65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It is forgivable to cheat unless money is involved.
B. There has been an increase in cheating.
C. Most cheaters are college students.
D. Cheaters do not feel guilty and regretful.
66. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Cheating is common because people do not take it very seriously.
B. Cheating is the result of heavy pressure.
C. Cheating is not a crime.
D. Cheating comes together with civilization.
D
Shundagarh is a village on India’s east-facing coast. It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the water-line. The Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village, to a height of one hundred and fifty metres. A simple, good-hearted old man, whose name was Jalpur, farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills, overlooking Shundagarh. From his fields he could see the fishing-boats that travels up and down the coast. He could see the children playing on the sand; their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva river flowed into the sea; and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end.
All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and day out, the miserable hut that he slept in at night, a few tools and cooking pots and his fields. The corn that he grew was all that made life possible. If the weather was kind and the harvest was good, Japlur could live happily enough---not well, but happily. When the sun was fierce, and there was little or no rain, then he came close to the line between a life which was too hard and death itself.
Last year the weather had been so kind, and the harvest promised to be so good that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast. He had been thinking about doing this for some years. It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his wife and children. But he would go only if he could give; he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren. He would rather die than do this.
On the day when Jalphur decided that he would harvest his corn, sell it, and move up the coast, he looked out to sea and saw a huge wave, several kilometers out, advancing on the coast and on the village of Shundagarh. Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned. Jalpur would have shouted, but the people were too far away to hear. He would have run down the hill, but he was too old to run. He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh, so he did the only thing that he could do: he set fire to his corn. In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and smoke was rising higher. Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened. There, in the middle of his blackened cornfield, they found Jalpur, and there they buried him.
On his grave, they wrote the words: Here lies Jalpur, a man who gave, living; a man who died, giving.
67. From the passage, we can see the life in Shundagarh is ______.
A. simple and quiet B. active but poor
C. rich but quiet D. rich and happy
68. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined “catch”?
A. the action of trying to catch
B. the fish that have been caught
C. the nets that are used to catch fish
D. the tool used for catching anything
69. What did Jalphur decide just before the tsunami came?
A. To have a walk along the coast.
B. To leave the village to live in his son’s home.
C. To look for a job up the coast.
D. To sell his corn and buy a new house up the coast.
70. Why do you think it took years for Jalpur to decide to move up the coast?
A. He waited for a good harvest.
B. He waited for his son’s invitation.
C. He felt he was not old enough.
D. He loved the village too much..
E
Making an advertisement for television often costs more than a movie. For example, a two-hour movie costs $6 million to make. A TV commercial can cost more than $6,000 a second. And that does not include the cost of paying for air time. Which is more valuable, the program or the ad? In terms of money--- and making money is what television is all about--- the commercial is by far the more important.
Research, market testing, talent, and money--- all come together to make us want to buy a product. No matter how bad we think a commercial is, it works. The sales of Charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head. We, in turn, buy the product.
And the ads work because so much time and attention are given them. Here are some rules of commercial ad making. If you want to get a lower-middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell to an upper-class audience, make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hair styles are the types that the group agree with. If you want the buyer to feel superior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself.
We laugh at commercials. We don’t think we pay that much attention to them. But evidence shows we are kidding ourselves. The making of a TV commercial that costs so much money is not kid stuff. It’s a big, big business. And it’s telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy. To put it simple, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing.
71. TV commercials are more important than programs to televisions because______.
A. they bring in big money
B. they require a lot of money to make
C. they are easy to make
D. they attract more viewers than programs.
72. The purpose of all the efforts made in producing TV commercials is _____.
A. to try to persuade people to buy the product
B. to show how valuable the product is
C. to test the market price of the product
D. to make them interesting
73. From the rules set for making commercial ads, we can see that ______.
A. the lower-middle-class buyer likes to work with his hands
B. the more stupid the character is , the more buyers of the product there are
C. ad designers try to attract different buyers with different skills
D. an upper-class buyer is more interested in houses and furniture than a lower-middle-class buyer
74. It is believed by the writer that _____.
A. few people like to watch commercials
B. TV commercials are a good guide to buyers
C. TV commercials work on people though many people do not realize it
D. TV commercials are useless because they are not telling the truth.
75. What does the sentence “ But evidence shows that we are kidding ourselves” mean?
A. TV commercials influence people though they may not accept it.
B. It is proved that we are funny.
C. The writer believes viewers are easy to cheat.
D. There is much evidence that buyers are mostly kids.

Dear Tom,
Very glad to receive you letter. Now I’ll tell you about my school
and my school life.
Our school is located in the center of the city. It covers an area of 10,000 square metres. 500 metres from it is a square, where people can have fun in their spare time. With 350 teachers and 4,500 students, it is a big and modern school. We have modern equipment, big libraries, computer rooms and labs. The number of the students, usually 60 to 70, in each class of our school is quite large.
We have to get up at 6:00 A.M and come back at 9:30 P.M. Each day, we usually spend ten hours at school. Our school life is busy. We have endless homework to finish and so many articles to read or recite. It is really a challenge. We learn many subjects here: Chinese, maths, English and so on. My favourite is English. I like it because it is widely used in the world. It is really fun to speak good English. It is also a way to learn more about the world.
Yours
Li Huan
