1 . Sir John, a British scientist who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine, said he had predicted at the time of his frog experiments that the successful cloning of a mammal would happen within 50 years, and that maybe the same answer is appropriate for the step to human cloning. Parents who lose children in accidents may be able to clone "copies" to replace them then.
Although any attempt to clone an entire human would raise complex moral issues, the biologist claimed people would soon overcome their concerns if the technique became medically useful. Cloning was regarded with extreme doubts when it was first developed but became widely accepted after the birth of Louise Brown, the first "test tube baby". He said, "When my first frog experiment was done, an American reporter asked how long it will be before these things can be done in mammals or humans. I said, ‘Well, it could be anywhere between 10 years and 100 years — how about 50 years?’ It turned out that it wasn’t far off the mark as far as Dolly was concerned. Maybe the same answer is appropriate." Sir John added that cloning a human being effectively means making an identical(相同的) twin, and that doctors would therefore simply be copying what nature has already produced.
The average vote on allowing parents of deceased children, who are no longer fertile(能生育的), to create another using the mother’s eggs and skin cells from the first child, thinking the technique was safe and effective, is 60 percent in favor. The reason for "no" is usually that the new child would feel they were some sort of a replacement for something.

3 . There are some skills for students to listen to teacher in class, which means you're going to have to practice it. Just as you would have to practice basketball to be a better player, you also have to practice listening. How to listen in school?
One of the things you need to do is to make sure that your mind doesn't wander（漫游）. It's easy to start thinking about other things, especially when you're not interested in the subject.
Next, listen for the main ideas. If you want to catch every little piece of information, you'll feel tired and bored.
Finally, you need to take notes because you can not remember everything the teacher says. You'll have to take down the notes so that you can study it after class.
| A．Here are some suggestions. |
| B．You'll also need to look at the teacher. |
| C．It might be a friend who is trying to pass you a note. |
| D．Taking notes also makes you pay attention to the class. |
| E．So make yourself pay attention to what the teacher is saying. |
| F．You will obey the rules. |
| G．It's not necessary for you to make notes. |
4 . Making an organized presentation(报告）starts with your introduction. The introduction opens your speech. It’s common for many presenters to start their talks with the sentence like "My name is...” or "Today I’m going to talk to you about...”,but this is not much of an introduction.
A good introduction in a formal（正式的) presentation must achieve three goals:
●Win the listeners’ attention.
●Make the topic and the purpose of the talk clear.
●Provide a general description of what you will cover in the talk.
Useful tips for winning listeners’ attention:
●Quote(引述）someone else. A quote is words said by someone else that is helpful to what you're going to talk about. When using a quote, you need to do two things: Mention where the words come from and connect the quote with your topic.
●Tell a joke. A touch of humor in good taste is a great way to break the ice, making people relaxed. The key is that the joke must be connected with the topic you’re going to talk about, or it will take the listeners’ attention away from your speech, making them lose interest in your presentation.
●Share a story. A short story is another clever way to start a presentation. To work, the story needs to show a key point or include a message that you can connect with the talk.
1. To make a good introduction, you must make sure________.| A．the purpose of the talk is clear | B．the listeners are well-educated |
| C．your story covers all the points | D．the topic is popular with others |

6 . During an exhibition show the skills of disabled people, an armless man used his mouth and feet to repair a watch. He completed the task in just a few minutes at the show, which was held in Beijing last Saturday. Just imagine the tiny parts that make up a watch.You have to wonder how the disabled man developed such a skill.
It was reported that 28-year-old Wang Jianghai lost his arms in an accident when he was five and began learning to repair watches at the age of 17. He has repaired more than 10,000 watches in the past 11years.
What strong self-confidence he must have to overcome the difficulties in getting this skill! What optimism he must have to face the unfairness of his hard life! And what strong determination he must have to go through the hardship in his struggle for a normal life! Such confidence, optimism and willpower are exactly the qualities many physically healthy people lack nowadays. Wang has set a good example for young people.
But today's youth seem to be more interested with their TV stars and pop singers but less interested in learning from the examples of working and studying hard to achieve higher goals. That is undoubtedly the result of the influence of a changing social atmosphere. One must admit that there is a trend towards hedonism in our society. People are increasingly more concerned about material gains than about spiritual pursuits. While adults know they must work hard whatever way they choose to materialize the gains, the younger generation are more likely to seek ease and comforts of their senses.
This pleasure-seeking trend provides a huge market for the entertainment industry and the mass media. The media devote too much coverage to anecdotes of pop and TV stars, which in turn fans wider and stronger enthusiasm for entertainment among the public, especially young people.
Ours is a developing country. Global competition in the growth of national strength presents a demand for China to be quicker in its development. We cannot afford to lose time. We need to make our economy more powerful. To meet this need, all of us should keep our tradition of working hard and overcoming difficulties.
1. Wang Jianghai’s story in the first two paragraphs ________.| A．serves as a description of the trend today |
| B．serves as an introduction to the discussion |
| C．shows a disagreement of views |
| D．show the popularity of the TV stars and pop singers |
| A．Young people are taught by adults to seek pleasure of senses. |
| B．Young people have given up our traditional value of hard working completely |
| C．Young people are not interested in learning from the examples of hard working at all. |
| D．Young people are far too much influenced by too much entertainment news in media. |
| A．a material | B．spiritual gains |
| C．thinking pleasure is the most important | D．amusement |
7 . Tears not only deliver oxygen and nutrients to our eyes and remove waste, but also contain various chemicals originally present in blood, some of which serve as markers of some diseases. That’s a primary reason why doctors order blood tests. But it also means that physicians – and maybe in the near future, you – can look for indicators of illness by looking at your tears.
Scientists have already found that markers of many serious diseases including cancers are found in tears. And recently, a technology named TearExo has been developed for breast cancer screening using tears collected by patients themselves. That could offer a cheaper way of testing and aid in the earlier detection of deadly disease.
But the potential advantages of tears as indicators of health go beyond occasional testing. One tear-based technology is a small contact lens (隐形眼镜) that continuously monitors a patient’s biomarkers, significantly improving disease prevention and detection. It has attracted the attention of some major companies such as Novartis, and is currently under development in research laboratories around the world.
More recently, a smart contact lens has been successfully developed for continuous monitoring and treatment of diabetic retinopathy (视网膜病变). Such a product probably won’t be ready for commercial use in several years. But according to Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, about 45million people in the U.S already wear contact lens to correct their sight. Switching to a smart version would be simple for them.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the potential in tears beyond crying. Tears can provide an inexpensive, rapid and easy-to-use choice to monitor health. Given the advantage of tear technology, such technology will almost certainly bring about more effective prevention of diseases—rather than having to deal with the difficulty of treating them.
1. In which aspect do people benefit from TearExo?| A．Preventing breast cancer. | B．Saving time for screening tests. |
| C．Reducing the costs of testing. | D．Detecting some diseases earlier. |
| A．It has a promising future. | B．It can improve patient’s sight. |
| C．It is available on the market. | D．It monitors eyesight continuously. |
| A．Doubtful. | B．Approving. |
| C．Negative. | D．Cautious. |
| A．What role do tears play? | B．Tears contain high levels of chemical. |
| C．How can we prevent tears? | D．Your eyes may save your life someday. |
I grew up in a big city. But as a child,I often spent my summer holidays in the countryside of Mississippi where my grandparents lived. And I can still clearly remember one of my great summer experiences there.
During the summer when I was five years old, my parents decided to pay a visit to my grandparents. So I would spend my holiday in my grandparents house again, and I was glad about it. On a cool Saturday morning, my parents and I set out. About one hour later, we left the big city crowded with buildings. people and noises and entered a world with farmlands. Seated in my dad's car, with fresh wind blowing across my face, I was happy and excited the whole way.
After a long time of driving, we finally arrived at the area where my grandparents’ house was. Their house lied in a quiet village. The scenery (风景) alongside the road was really great. When my father pulled up in front of my grandparents’ house, I rushed into their room to see them. After a warm conversation, I left and walked outside into the backyard of their house to enjoy myself.Oh!There was an orchard (果园).
I was drawn by a group of chicks there. They were walking around and chirping(哪唧地叫),happily searching for food on the ground. They were so lovely and lively. Suddenly, the thought of catching one and keeping it as a pet came to me. Wondering whether my grandparents would allow it, I entered the living room to ask them. “You can own one as long as you're able to catch it. But there's a big chance that you won't make it. If you need any help, tell us," said my grandpa with a big smile.“Trust me, Grandpa. I don't think it'll be difficult to catch one,” I replied in a confident voice. “Don't get any chick injured. Remember it,” my mother said.
Then I returned to the orchard happily, setting out for my project.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
I quietly approached (靠近) the chicks.
