26、The birth of Britain’s first cloned dog has been considered “a waste of money” and scientists said the process raised serious ethical (伦理的) concerns.

Sooam Biotech, a company in Seoul, said it had cloned the puppy, named Mini-Winnie, from a 12-year-old dog belonging to Rebecca Smith, who lives in the west London. She had won a contest run by the company which hoped to sell the service to pet owners for 60,000 pounds a time.

Mini-Winnie was born after scientists took skin cells from Mr Smith’s pet and dropped them into donor eggs to make embryos (胚胎). The puppy must remain in Korea for six months to satisfy British quarantine (检疫) laws.

But researchers warned that while a cloned dog might look similar to its biological parent, it would be a very different animal. “You would have many chances of replicating (复制) your favorite pet by choosing one from Battersea Dogs Home,” said Robin Lovell-Badge, a geneticist at the National Institute for Medical Research in London. Dusko Ilic, a stem cell scientist at King’s College London, said, “It is extremely unlikely that a puppy cloned from a favorite pet will behave in the same way. As time passes by, the differences will be more and more pronounced, especially personality traits. It is an absolute waste of money.”

The cloning process is controversial (有争论的) because the animals are often born with diseases or die soon after birth.

I think, it’s unnecessary to try to clone pets for pet owners. First, it’s really costly. Second, the cloned pet is actually another dog. Third, there are many homeless dogs for people to adopt in shelters. So why not just adopt a dog instead?

【1】What may be the reason for Sooam Biotech’s work on cloning pets?

A．To pay back to society.

B．To make money out of it.

C．To comfort sad pet owners.

D．To win an important contest.

【2】Why doesn’t the cloned dog enter Britain now?

A．Because people in Britain are against it.

B．Because the company is afraid that it will die.

C．Because it needs to stay in Korea for research.

D．Because British quarantine laws don’t allow it.

【3】What can we learn from what Dusko Ilic said in paragraph4?

A．Cloned pets are usually not lovely.

B．Cloned pet can be very disappointing.

C．It’s possible to replicate one’s favorite pet.

D．A pet dog looks similar to its biological parent.

【4】According to Paragraph 5, why is the cloning process controversial?

A．It is costly.

B．It is too difficult.

C．It can spread diseases.

D．The result is unsatisfactory.

27、It was late one evening. I can’t remember what it was about, but my Dad and I had a very big argument when my mother was away. We both said things we didn’t mean, and in the end I said, “I’m leaving.” And he said, “Good. The sooner, the better.”

I threw a few things in the suitcase and closed the door violently behind me, not knowing where I was going. After walking aimlessly for 20 minutes, I stopped at a local supermarket. Then my phone rang. It was my mom calling. She said, “Hey, Mary. Where are you? Dad is worried about you.”

“How can he worry about me? I’ve been away for nearly half an hour, but he didn’t call.” I said with annoyance. My anger returned and I remembered all the hateful things he’d shouted to me. “Listen, Mom. You can tell Dad that I’m fine. I’ll call you tomorrow.” I said and hung up.

I walked around the supermarket, trying to get my thoughts together. By the time I paid for my purchases, it had been much later than I used to be out alone. When I left the supermarket, a large piece of white paper was in front of me. On the piece of white paper were these words: “Please come home! I miss you and I’m worried about you!”

Then a car pulled up beside me. Hanging out of the window was my Dad. Besides him, smiling gently, sat my mom. And that’s when I started laughing. I laughed so hard that I cried. Despite(尽管) my best effort to run away from home, my father finally managed to track me down. I couldn’t leave now, not with him sitting there with caring eyes.

28、   Shakespeare’s plays were introduced to China in the mid-19th century and in 1904 Charles Lamb’s adapted Shakespearean Stories was translated into Chinese by Lin Shu. Not an easy task for a man who knew no English and needed an assistant to read and explain the stories to him.

Chinese readers were greatly attracted to Shakespeare’s works. With China’s economic success in recent years, there has been a growing demand for cultural entertainment and Shakespeare’s plays have proved a great success, with the plays being staged in theaters, made into films and even as local operas.

China also had a playwright (剧作家) Tang Xianzu, who died the same year as Shakespeare. His play Peony Pavilion, the Chinese equivalent (相等物) of Romeo and Juliet, is highly regarded as a play of its time. But I suspect not many people in the West have heard of him or of his work.

While Western culture and history is widely taught and eagerly learnt in China, I believe it is time that the Western world try to understand China and the Chinese culture better through our history, literature and language.

During my recent stay in Beijing, I was amazed to find in a bookshop that there were rows and rows of bookshelves, full of original English books. However, here in Britain it is very hard to find books about and from China. This may partly explain why there is this difference of knowledge and understanding between the West and China.

However, the good news is that there is a growing interest to know more about each other and events like the Olympics have brought the world closer to China and China closer to the world, Policies such as “One Road, One Belt” also help to build the bridges of friendship and understanding among our peoples.

【1】What do we know about Lin Shu?

A.He adapted Shakespearean Stories.

B.He translated Shakespearean Stories.

C.He could easily translate English works.

D.He had a good command of English.

【2】What mainly made Shakespeare’s plays successful in China?

A.China’s successful development in economy.

B.The cultural exchange between the West and China.

C.Western people’s demand for cultural entertainment.

D.The rapid development of theaters and cinemas in China.

【3】Why don’t many Western people know Peony Pavilion?

A.Because they think it is not good enough.

B.Because they find its playwright not famous.

C.Because they have little access to the Chinese culture.

D.Because they have no Chinese books in their bookstores.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to the future of the Chinese culture?

A.Concerned. B.Optimistic. C.Pessimistic. D.Doubtful.

29、   Why is it that you can remember the name of your childhood best friend that you haven't seen in years yet easily forget the name of a person you just met a moment ago？In other words, why are some memories stable over decades, while others disappear within minutes？

Caltech researchers carried out their work about memories in the laboratory. The research team developed a test to examine mice's neural（神经的）activity as they learn about and remember a new place. In the test, a mouse was placed in a straight enclosure( 围 场 ), about 5 feet long with white walls. Unique symbols marked different locations along the walls. Sugar water（a treat for mice）was placed at either end of the track.

When a mouse was placed in the track, it was unsure of what to do at first and wandered left and right until it came across the sugar water. In these cases, single neurons were activated when the mouse took notice of a symbol on the wall. Over numerous experiences with the track, the mouse became familiar with it and remembered the locations of the sugar water. As the mouse became more familiar, more and more neurons were activated when seeing each symbol on the wall. Essentially, the mouse was recognizing where it was with respect to each unique symbol.

To study how memories disappear over time, the researchers then kept back the mice from the track for up to 20 days. Upon returning to the track after this break, mice that had formed strong memories encoded（编码）by higher numbers of neurons remembered the task quickly. Even though some neurons showed different activity, the mouse's memory of the track was clearly identifiable when researchers analyzed the activity of large groups of neurons.

This work shows that memories might disappear more rapidly as we age because a memory is encoded by fewer neurons, and if any of these neurons fail, the memory will be lost. The study suggests that one day, designing treatments that could encourage a higher number of neurons to encode a memory could help prevent memory loss.

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A.To introduce the topic of the text.

B.To show the examples of bad memory.

C.To compare different people's memories.

D.To prove the importance of childhood memories.

【2】During the research, the mouse _______

A.lost interest in the symbols soon

B.had to climb over the long white wall

C.would get sugar water as their rewards

D.wandered left and right nervously all the time

【3】What is special about the mice that remembered the task quickly after the break?

A.They had their neurons show different activity.

B.They love sugar water better than other mice.

C.They stayed in the track for over 20 days.

D.They possessed more activated neurons.

【4】What does the last paragraph imply?

A.Mice's memory seems better than humans

B.The aging process of humans is unavoidable.

C.Memory loss is expected to be cured in the future.

D.The study has found the way to prevent neurons from failing.

36、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

On a broiling afternoon when the men were away at work and all the women napped, I moved through majestic depths of silences, silences so immense I could hear the corn 【1】. Under these silences there was a / an orchestra of natural music playing notes no city child would ever hear. A certain cackle from the henhouse meant we had gained an egg. The creak of a porch swing told of a momentary breeze blowing across my grandmother’s yard. As I 【2】 along a mossy bank to surprise a frog, a 【3】splash told me the quarry had spotted me and slipped into the stream. Wandering among the sleeping houses, I learned that tin roofs crackle under the power of the sun, and when I tired and came back to my grandmother’s house, I padded into her dark cool living room, lay 【4】 on the floor, and listened to the hypnotic beat of her pendulum clock on the wall ticking the meaningless hours away.

I was enjoying the luxuries of a rustic nineteenth-century boyhood, but for the women Morrisonville life had few 【5】. Their lives were hard, endless, dirty labor.

For baths, laundry, and dishwashing, they hauled buckets of water from a spring at the foot of a hill. To heat it, they chopped kindling to fire their wood stoves. They boiled laundry in tubs, scrubbed it on washboards until knuckles were 【6】, and wrung it out by hand. Ironing was a business of lifting heavy metal weights heated on the stove top.

They scrubbed floors on hands and knees, thrashed rugs with carpet beaters, killed and plucked their own chickens, baked bread and parties, grew and conned their won vegetables, patched the family’s clothing on treadle-operated sewing machines, 【7】before the men to start the stove for breakfast and pack lunch pails, polished the chimneys of kerosene lamps, and even found time to tend the flowers that grew around every house. By the end of a summer day a Morrisonville woman had toiled like a serf.

At sundown the men drifted back from the fields exhausted and 【8】. They scrubbed themselves in enamel basins and, when supper was eaten, climbed up onto the porch to watch the night arrive. Presently the women 【9】 them, and the twilight music of Morrisonville began.

40、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

In 1971, China’s first subway line in Beijing was formally put into operation. By December  2017, there were 171 subway lines stretching over 5,083 km in 35 cities on the Chinese mainland. Currently, China has the longest urban railway network in the world, which is predicted to surpass 6000 km by 2020.

The rapid development of China’s urban railway system reflects the country’s growing economic strength. The system has experienced the fastest growth over the past 15 years due to the investment of wealth accumulated from the reform and opening up in urban infrastructure construction. An urban railway system is expensive to build, with one kilometer of subway costing approximately 700 million yuan ($110 million). A city without economic strength cannot develop such an expensive system.

The progress in urban railway construction technologies has also contributed to the fast expansion of the infrastructure. Subway construction involves building underground tunnels, laying rails, manufacturing trains and the operation and management of subways. It is a systematic project which not only covers traditional infrastructure building but also modem electronics and information technology. China s railway construction technologies are the best in the world, with Chinese subway trains now exported to developed countries including the United States.

The expansion of Chinese cities has made it necessary to develop urban railway systems. Since the start of the reform and opening up, a large number of people have migrated to cities and the number of private cars has increased dramatically, resulting in serious traffic congestion. Building subways has become an important way to solve this problem.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the launch of China’s reform and opening up, and the rapid development of China’s urban railway system exemplifies the achievements made by the policy. As China furthers its opening up, it will continue to maintain steady and rapid economic growth and railway systems will be available in more and more cities.
