You must have heard about Dolly and have been amazed by the first cloned animal. But here came a problem; should we clone humans? When being asked about this question, a large number of people which are interested in the topic hold the view that it’s beneficial to clone humans. Therefore, some other people, me including, are against this idea. Cloning humans can bring negative effects and wrong informations. In the first place, they may not be treated equal as normal people, which I believe will make him suffer a lot.

2 . Individuals who believe their talents can be developed （through hard work, good strategies, and input from others） have a growth mindset （思维模式）.They tend to achieve more than those with a more fixed mindset （those who believe their talents are born）. This is because they worry less about looking smart and they put more energy into learning.     1     Let's take a look at three common misconceptions.

1. I already have it, and I always have. People often confuse a growth mindset with being flexible or open-minded or with having a positive outlook — qualities they believe they've simply always had. My colleagues and 1 call this a false growth mindset.     2     And that mixture continually evolves with experience. A “pure" growth mindset doesn't exist, which we have to acknowledge in order to attain the benefits we seek.

2. A growth mindset is just about praising and rewarding effort.     3     In both settings, outcomes matter. Unproductive effort is never a good thing. It's critical to reward not just effort but learning and progress, and to emphasize the processes that yield these things, such as seeking help from others, trying new strategies, and taking advantage of setbacks to move forward effectively.

3.    4     Mission statements are wonderful things. You can't argue with values like growth,

empowerment （赋能），or innovation. But what do they mean to employees if the company doesn't carry out policies that make them real and attainable?     5     Organizations that embody a growth mindset encourage appropriate risk-taking, knowing that some risks won't work out. They reward employees for important and useful lessons learned, even if a project does not meet its original goals.

A．They just amount to lip service.

B．Just hold a growth mindset, and good things will happen.

C．Everyone is a mixture of fixed mindset and growth mindset.

D．But I often discover that people's understanding of the idea is limited.

E．To remain in a growth zone, we must identify and work with these mistaken ideas.

F．Embrace a growth mindset and you will feel far more empowered and committed.

G．This isn't true for students in schools, and it's not true for employees in organizations.

6 . Girls continue to outperform boys in all subjects by the end of primary school in England, according to the latest key stage 2 test results published by the Department for Education.

Across England, 65% of pupils in state schools achieved the government’s expected standards in the three subjects, a 1% improvement on 2018. The widening of the gender gap was caused mainly by a dip in the proportion of boys reaching the expected standard in reading, which fell from 72% in 2018 to 69%. In maths, boys and girls improved by 3% but girls remained slightly ahead at 79% to 78%.

The latest Sats results are the continuation of trends seen for many years. In Britain, girls consistently outperform boys, with the exception of advanced maths-based subjects. In the most recent GCSE results girls showed improved performances, despite the introduction of more difficult exams.

There were substantial regional variations in the results, with pupils in London generally doing better than in other parts of England. Only 53% of boys in Dudley, in the Midlands, reached the expected standards in the three key subjects, compared with 83% of girls in the wealthy borough of Richmond-upon-Thames.

Also, the gap in performance between disadvantaged pupils and their classmates remains stubbornly wide, suggesting efforts to close it have slowed or been ineffective.

About 51% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds achieved the expected standards in maths, reading and writing, the same as in 2018, while the proportion of non-disadvantaged pupils hitting the standard rose to 71%. That leaves the gap between the two groups little changed for the last three years, with the DfE’s statisticians warning that it might widen slightly when the final figures for 2019 are published.

Paul Whiteman, the general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said children from disadvantaged families were the victims of austerity (经济紧缩). “Successive governments have failed to invest in those who need it the most, and now we see the result - a sustained long-term gap over many years between disadvantaged pupils and pupils from more affluent families.” In 2019 30%                                        of pupils at the end of key stage 2 were classed as being disadvantaged. Nick Gibb, the minister for school standards, said the gap had noticeably decreased over the last eight years and that government reforms since 2010 have                                        helped “ level the playing field”.

7 . Facebook will no longer use facial recognition to let users automatically identify their friends in photographs uploaded to its site after America’s consumer watchdog called the practice “deceptive” (欺 骗性的).Facebook had used technology called Deep Face to scan the millions of pictures uploaded to its site each day in search of faces it recognized.     1

9 . There is good reason to believe that emerging digital technologies can improve the functioning of agriculture markets at a very low cost per farmer.

Mobile phones, particularly GPS-enabled smartphones, make the provision of tailored information much easier than before. Recommendations for agrochemical inputs that address specific soil conditions can improve yields while reducing environmentally harmful and wasteful use. Farmers can tailor their investment decisions to expected weather patterns and benefit from improvements in weather forecasting. As smartphone use continues to expand, farmers will increasingly have the means to watch videos demonstrating new agricultural techniques or take pictures of pests affecting their crops and either request automatic identification and recommendations or raise questions with agronomists. Finally, digital agricultural services can improve the functioning of agricultural supply chains. For example, these services could make it easier for farmers to check and compare input or output prices ; and facilitate coordination among farmers in an area and with traders.

However, despite the potential of digital agriculture, reasons for skepticism remain. Overcoming informational restrictions may not result in substantially increased agricultural productivity, given the existence of other barriers such as input shortages at local markets, and missing insurance markets. Informational barriers are also important, and mobile phone messages may not overcome them: some farmers ignore messages, especially from unknown sources. Some farmers are illiterate and have difficulty using voice menus. Senders may design obscure and confusing messages or may provide messages designed to target objectives at odds with farmer interests. Effective communication may require pictures or video. Smartphones are thus required to receive these messages, but few farmers currently have access to this technology in the poorest countries. Finally, farmers may begin to ignore reminders they are repeated too often, or they may be annoyed by unwanted messages,   which could lead to reduced trust in the messaging system.

1. According to Para 2, what can farmers do in digital agriculture?

A．They can use agrochemical to handle environmental problems.

B．They can adjust investment decisions based on weather forecasts.

C．They can identify pests on their crops by watching videos.

D．They can compete with others in prices in an efficient way.

2. What does the underlined phrase“at odds with”in the last paragraph mean?

A．In disagreement with.	B．By means of.
C．In line with.	D．Apart from.

3. Which of the following is NOT considered as an informational barrier?

A．Shortages of input in local markets and lack of insurance markets.

B．No access to digital technology in poorest countries.

C．Failure to read or use the voice menu on mobile phones.

D．Loss of interest and ignorance of the intended messages.

4. What is the author’s attitude towards digital agriculture?

A．Supportive.

B．Doubtful.

C．Objective.

D．Negative.

10 . You return from work on a hot August evening. Your unwashed teenage son is on the sofa scrolling through Instagram, as he has been doing for the past eight hours. Not for the first time, you ask yourself: why are school summer holidays so insufferably long?

This is a more serious question than it sounds. Many children will return from the long break having forgotten much of what they were taught the previous year. One study from the American South found that this "summer learning loss" could be as high as a quarter of the year's education. Poor children tend to be the worst affected, since rich ones typically live in homes full of books and are packed off to summer camp to learn robotics, Latin or the flute.

Summer holidays vary greatly from country to country. South Korean children get only three weeks off. Children in Italy and Turkey get a whopping three months. So do those in America, where their parents, unless they are teachers have an average of only three weeks off a year, among the shortest holidays in the rich world. Companies should let them take a bit more, since burnt-out workers are less productive. But, for their children six weeks out of class is plenty.

Youngsters will hate the idea of a longer school year. Sceptics note that, although those barely rested South Korean pupils do superbly in exams, they are often miserable. It would be unwise to import South Korea's pressure-cooker approach, in which a single exam determines every child's future. But plenty of Western children could usefully spend a bit longer at their books.

More time in school need not mean repeating the same old lessons. Some extra drilling would be beneficial, particularly for those falling behind. But the summer could also be a time for different wind of learning: critical thinking, practical skills, financial literacy, work placements with local firms — schools should be free to experiment.

1. The author mentions the experience in the first paragraph to introduce teenagers'______.

3. In the author's opinion, how long is the summer holiday supposed to be?

C．Two months.	D．Three months.

4. What is the author's suggestion?

A．Schools should try new approaches to teaching.

B．Schools should provide more exams for students.
