W: That’s unbelievable!
M: I know. Then a few years later, Frane was in a bus accident. There was heavy rain and the bus lost control on the wet road and crashed into a river. He survived, although 20 people drowned. Then Frane was in a car that caught fire while he was driving it on the motorway. He managed to get out with seconds to spare before the fuel tank exploded.
W: I don’t know whether he’s unlucky or extremely lucky, but I don’t think I ever want to travel with this guy.

The teachers told us to be at school at four thirty in the morning. Everyone was there on time, but the coach didn’t arrive until five o’clock and we didn’t leave until five thirty! We were very cold and tired. Anyway, the coach was very comfortable and we watched a DVD and listened to some music on the journey. We had some sandwiches and drinks with us, so we went straight to Paris without stopping. The hotel was very old, but our room was nice and the bed was great! I shared the room with three other girls. When we went shopping I tried to practice my French a few times but sometimes I didn’t know the right words and spoke in English instead! The shops were great — I bought lots of presents, such as a dress for my mother, a bag for my dad and a T-shirt for my little sister! I think what I enjoyed most was the boat trip. I took lots of photos of my friends and the wonderful art galleries. I was sad to leave Paris. I had a lovely time there.

Can everything be recycled No, not all things can be recycled. But you might be surprised to learn how many things can be recycled. You may already know about plastic bottles. Did you know you can also recycle glass
Glass can be recycled to make all sorts of things. Recycling glass really helps the planet. Making new products from recycled glass causes less air and water pollution. It also uses less energy than making new glass.
When glass arrives at a recycling plant, people and machines sort it by color. Similar colors of glass must be recycled together. That way, recycled products are as pure as possible. This makes them stronger and less likely to break. Once the glass is sorted, it's washed. That's when the breaking begins. That's right! To be recycled, glass has to be broken to make a material called cullet(碎玻璃).
Glass manufacturers love cullet. It's cheaper than the raw materials they'd need to make new glass. It also melts at a lower temperature. That means they save energy during the production process. Glass manufacturers mix cullet with other materials like sand and soda ash. Then they heat it to over 2,600℉. This makes liquid glass, which can then be poured into a mold (模具). There, it cools and forms a finished glass product.
Most recycled glass is used to make new glass containers, such as jars and bottles. However, recycled glass can also find its way into all sorts of other products including a variety of construction products.
Do you recycle at home or school What glass products should you be sure to recycle when you’ re done with them With everyone doing their part, recycling glass can make a huge difference to the planet!
24. What is the first step in recycling glass
A. Sorting it according to color. B. Cleaning it with water.
C. Removing the color in it. D. Breaking it into cullet.
25. Why do glass manufacturers love cullet
A. It is easy to get. B. It helps cut costs.
C. It can be easily broken. D. It can be mixed with other materials.
26. Why does the author ask the questions in the last paragraph
A. To call attention to home or school environment.
B. To help readers classify glass products at home.
C. To encourage glass recycling among readers.
D. To encourage readers to use fewer glass products.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Recyclable things that you might have ignored.
B. The difficulty in glass recycling.
C. How to recycle at home or school.
D. How glass is recycled.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. D

Ada Lovelace was born on December 10th 1815. Ada’s mother and father (the famous poet Lord George Gordon Byron) parted just weeks after she was born. Her mother feared her growing up with her father’s changeable nature. To stop this from happening, Ada was forced by her mother to learn science and mathematics which was unusual for women at the time. She was also punished if her work was not up to standard. However, she was greatly interested in mathematics and science and would perhaps have learned about them on her own.
Ada was partially disabled and as a result spent much time studying. Ada knew of her mother’s thought about keeping the creative side of her from germinating (萌芽) however, as Ada herself is known to have said, “If you can’t give me poetry at least give me poetical science.” Ada married at 19, to William King who was made Earl of Lovelace in 1838, at which point she became Lady Ada King, the Countess of Lovelace, but was known as Ada Lovelace. Ada and King had a relatively happy marriage, with King even encouraging his wife’s love for numbers.
During her youth Ada was introduced to the Scot, Mary Somerville, who was known as the “Queen of 19th Century Science” and was the first woman to be accepted into the Royal Astronomical Society. It was through Mary Somerville that Ada first heard of Charles Babbage’s idea for a new calculating (计算) engine. Attracted by this idea, Ada began a period of letter-writing with him that would come to decide her professional life.
Ada met Babbage when she was around 17 and the two became close friends. Babbage was working on an “Analytical Engine”, something he was designing to deal with complex ( 复杂的) calculations. Ada was later asked to translate an article. She not only translated the article but added pages and pages of notes, calculations and innovations (创新). Her notes were published in 1843 and it turned out that what she had written was so original, it is now seen as the first comprehensive comment on what would become modern-day computer programming. Although impressive, Ada was not actually given credit for the article until 1848.
28. What happened to Ada in her childhood
A. She was pushed to learn scientific knowledge.
B. She had to compare herself with other women.
C. She gave up learning because of her father’s nature.
D. She had no father any more.
29. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean
A. Ada thought poetry was boring.
B. Ada thought science was creative.
C. Ada was interested in both science and poetry.
D. Ada believed poetry was harder than science.
30. What decided Ada’s professional life
A. Ada was introduced to the Scot, Mary Somerville.
B. Somerville’s suggestions.
C. Her husband’s encouragement.
D. Her communication with Babbage.
31. What did Ada do after she met Babbage
A. She taught people how to program.
B. She invented an “Analytical Engine”.
C. She translated an article and developed it.
D. She praised Babbage’s achievements.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了女科学家阿达·洛芙莱斯的主要事迹，展现了她对科学知识的热爱。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“To stop this from happening, Ada was forced by her mother to learn science and mathematics which was unusual for women at the time. (为了阻止这种情况的发生，艾达的母亲强迫她学习科学和数学，这在当时的女性中并不常见。)”可知，阿达的母亲强迫她学习科学知识。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Ada’s mother and father (the famous poet Lord George Gordon Byron) parted just weeks after she was born. Her mother feared her growing up with her father’s changeable nature. To stop this from happening, Ada was forced by her mother to learn science and mathematics which was unusual for women at the time.(艾达的母亲和父亲(著名诗人乔治·戈登·拜伦勋爵)在她出生几周后就分手了。她的母亲担心她在父亲喜怒无常的性格下长大。为了阻止这种情况的发生，艾达的母亲强迫她学习科学和数学，这在当时的女性中并不常见。)”可知，阿达的父亲是英国诗人拜伦。她的父母分开之后，她的母亲不愿阿达继承拜伦身上感性、多变的特质，于是她强迫阿达学习数学和科学，并对她严格要求。对于母亲的想法，阿达了然于心。划线处与上文中的“keeping the creative side of her from germinating(让她的创造力无法萌发)”为顺承关系，目的是为了引出阿达说的话“如果不让我学习诗歌，那么至少让我学习富有诗意的科学”。结合上文中提到的阿达对数学表现出了浓厚的兴趣，我们可以推断，阿达将 poetry和science进行比较，说明她认为科学如诗歌般具有创造性。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Attracted by this idea, Ada began a period of letter-writing with him that would come to decide her professional life.(被这个想法吸引，阿达开始和他一起写信，后来决定了她的职业生涯。)”可知，阿达与查尔斯·巴贝奇针对科学知识展开的交流一定程度上决定了阿达以后的职业生涯。故选D。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“She not only translated the article but added pages and pages of notes, calculations and innovations (创新).(她不仅翻译了这篇文章，还添加了一页又一页的注释、计算和创新。)”可知，她不仅翻译了学术文章，并加注了很多自己原创的见解。故选C。
D
A Beijing-based gene firm on Monday announced the debut (首次亮相) of the world’s first, cloned wild article wolf via video. 100 days after its birth in a Beijing lab. Experts said its birth pioneers the breeding of more rare and endangered animals through cloning technology.
“To save the endangered animal, we started the research cooperation with Harbin Polarland on cloning the arctic wolf in 2020. After two years of painstaking efforts, the arctic wolf was cloned successfully. It is the first case of its kind in the world,” Mi Jidong, the company’s general manager of the Beijing-based Sinogene Biotechnology Co., said at a press conference in Beijing.
Born on June 10, the wolf, named Maya, is in very good health. Its donor cell came from the skin sample of a wild female arctic wolf, which had been introduced from Canada to Harbin Polarland. The cloning of the arctic wolf was accomplished by constructing 137 new embryos (胚胎), followed by the transfer of 85 embryos to the uteri of seven dogs, of which one was born as a healthy wolf-Maya, Zhao noted. The selection of a dog as Maya’s surrogate (代孕) was made because dogs share genetic ancestry with ancient wolves and it’s more likely to succeed through cloning technology, experts said.
He Zhengming, the head of Chinese Experimental Animal Resources Research Institute for Food and Drug Control, said that the cloned animals still have the ability to reproduce if they have intact fertilized eggs. The cloning technology can copy all genetic information for selective breeding, and in this way, it diversifies the population of endangered animals.
From the world’s first mammal clone “Dolly”, cloning technology has provided the possibility to diversify the populations of some species such as cattle, pigs and horses. When endangered species in some places are identified, cloning of cells preserved from freezing technologies could also generate new life, experts said.
However, some raised controversy relating to the cloned arctic wolf. Sun Ouanhui, a scientist from the World Animal Protection organization, insisted that cloning technology has made great progress since its birth, but it is still being perfected and in the exploratory stage of research, and there are many technical and ethical issues that need to be tackled and treated with caution.
32. What is the significance of the first cloned wild arctic wolf’s birth
A. To produce more endangered species through cloning.
B. To help the scientists win an award.
C. To promote the research cooperation.
D. To increase the profit of wildlife reserves.
33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. Maya is the first cloned arctic wolf in the world.
B. Wild arctic wolves are easily available in Harbin Polarland.
C. There is no scientific support for choosing a dog as Maya’s surrogate.
D. Researchers experienced trial and error to achieve the successful birth of Maya.
34. What’s the author’s attitude toward cloning technology
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Opposed.
35. Which is the best title of the passage
A. The Research on the Rare and Endangered Animals
B. The Debut of the World’s 1st Cloned Wild Arctic Wolf
C. The Beginning of the Cloning Technology Application
D. The Conservation of Endangered Wildlife through Cloning Technology
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上第一只克隆的野生动物狼的相关情况，以及其带来的影响。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Experts said its birth pioneers the breeding of more rare and endangered animals through cloning technology. (专家表示，它的诞生开创了通过克隆技术培育更多珍稀濒危动物的先河。)”可知，该北极狼克隆的成功为培育更多珍稀濒危动物开创先河，因此其重要意义也在于此。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段二三句“The cloning of the arctic wolf was accomplished by constructing 137 new embryos (胚胎), followed by the transfer of 85 embryos to the uteri of seven dogs, of which one was born as a healthy wolf-Maya, Zhao noted. (赵指出，北极狼的克隆是通过构建137个新胚胎完成的，随后将85个胚胎移植到7只狗的子宫中，其中一只出生时是健康的狼——玛雅。)”可以看出该克隆过程很艰辛，85个胚胎才产出一只健康的狼，即成功前科学家经历了实验和失败。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“When endangered species in some places are identified, cloning of cells preserved from freezing technologies could also generate new life, experts said. (专家表示，当一些地方的濒危物种被发现时，通过冷冻技术保存的细胞克隆也可以产生新的生命。)”可知，作者呈现了克隆技术对濒危物种的价值；根据最后一段第一句“However, some raised controversy relating to the cloned arctic wolf. (然而，一些人提出了与克隆北极狼有关的争议。)”可知，作者呈现一些对克隆技术的质疑，因此可以看出作者本人对这一技术持客观态度。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“A Beijing-based gene firm on Monday announced the debut (首次亮相) of the world’s first cloned wild article wolf via video. (北京一家基因公司周一通过视频宣布，世界上第一只克隆的野生动物狼首次亮相。)”可以看出本文主要围绕这第一只克隆狼展开。故选B项。

I was excited as I walked into the classroom. Today was my birthday! I set down the box of treats I had brought for the class. Birthdays were a big deal in our classroom. The birthday person brought treats for the class, and he or she got to choose someone our teacher called “the birthday helper" to pass them out. My friends, Andrea, Crystal and I had talked about choosing each other on our birthdays. I still hadn't decided which of my two best friends I was going to choose. I knew both of them were expecting me to pick them, but I just couldn't decide. I didn't want either one of them to be mad at me.
A loud shout stopped my thoughts. “Hi, April!" shouted Lisa.
No one liked Lisa. She had dirty hair that looked like it always needed to be washed. The kids made fun of her a lot. She annoyed me sometimes, too, but I tried to be nice to her.
"Did you bring treats today "
“Yes," I answered.“ Today is my birthday!"
Lisa's parents were divorced(离婚的)，and her dad gave her and her mom lots of problems. Lisa once told me that I was the only friend she had. At times I felt embarrassed to hang out with her, but she never seemed to notice when I didn't want her around.
The bell rang, and we quickly went to our seats. Our teacher, Mrs. Doughty, started class, and I pushed aside my thoughts. The rest of the morning flew by, and soon it was time for the lunch break.
Mrs. Doughty announced that today was my birthday. I forced a smile, but my stomach turned over. I retrieved(取回) my cupcakes at the back of the room and slowly went to stand beside Mrs. Doughty. I didn't know what to do! Should I choose Andrea or Crystal
Then Lisa caught my attention.
“No one ever chooses me on their birthday!" she said loudly. Her face looked so sad. I saw the hurt she felt from the rejection(嫌弃) she constantly faced from our classmates.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, I knew my decision.

Just before I rushed out to catch the bus after school, Lisa stopped me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Suddenly, I knew my decision. I told Mrs. Doughty that Lisa would be my birthday helper. Lisa’s eyes were wide with surprise. She looked at me, with her mouth open. “Really ” she asked in a low voice. I smiled brightly and nodded. Lisa got out of her seat and rushed to my side. She looked so proud to stand beside me as we passed out the treats. I saw my two best friends' angry looks from across the room. I knew they were mad, but I knew I had done the right thing.
Just before I rushed out to catch the bus after school, Lisa stopped me. Her face brightened with happiness. She threw her arms around my neck and hugged me. “April, you are the best friend I've ever had!” she told me. All I could do was smile and hug her back. I felt so good inside! As I watched Lisa run down the hall, happiness filled my heart. This had turned out to be a wonderful birthday after all.

Can everything be recycled No, not all things can be recycled. But you might be surprised to learn how many things can be recycled. You may already know about plastic bottles. Did you know you can also recycle glass
Glass can be recycled to make all sorts of things. Recycling glass really helps the planet. Making new products from recycled glass causes less air and water pollution. It also uses less energy than making new glass.
When glass arrives at a recycling plant, people and machines sort it by color. Similar colors of glass must be recycled together. That way, recycled products are as pure as possible. This makes them stronger and less likely to break. Once the glass is sorted, it's washed. That's when the breaking begins. That's right! To be recycled, glass has to be broken to make a material called cullet(碎玻璃).
Glass manufacturers love cullet. It's cheaper than the raw materials they'd need to make new glass. It also melts at a lower temperature. That means they save energy during the production process. Glass manufacturers mix cullet with other materials like sand and soda ash. Then they heat it to over 2,600℉. This makes liquid glass, which can then be poured into a mold (模具). There, it cools and forms a finished glass product.
Most recycled glass is used to make new glass containers, such as jars and bottles. However, recycled glass can also find its way into all sorts of other products including a variety of construction products.
Do you recycle at home or school What glass products should you be sure to recycle when you’ re done with them With everyone doing their part, recycling glass can make a huge difference to the planet!
24. What is the first step in recycling glass
A. Sorting it according to color. B. Cleaning it with water.
C. Removing the color in it. D. Breaking it into cullet.
25. Why do glass manufacturers love cullet
A. It is easy to get. B. It helps cut costs.
C. It can be easily broken. D. It can be mixed with other materials.
26. Why does the author ask the questions in the last paragraph
A. To call attention to home or school environment.
B. To help readers classify glass products at home.
C. To encourage glass recycling among readers.
D. To encourage readers to use fewer glass products.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Recyclable things that you might have ignored.
B. The difficulty in glass recycling.
C. How to recycle at home or school.
D. How glass is recycled.

Ada Lovelace was born on December 10th 1815. Ada’s mother and father (the famous poet Lord George Gordon Byron) parted just weeks after she was born. Her mother feared her growing up with her father’s changeable nature. To stop this from happening, Ada was forced by her mother to learn science and mathematics which was unusual for women at the time. She was also punished if her work was not up to standard. However, she was greatly interested in mathematics and science and would perhaps have learned about them on her own.
Ada was partially disabled and as a result spent much time studying. Ada knew of her mother’s thought about keeping the creative side of her from germinating (萌芽) however, as Ada herself is known to have said, “If you can’t give me poetry at least give me poetical science.” Ada married at 19, to William King who was made Earl of Lovelace in 1838, at which point she became Lady Ada King, the Countess of Lovelace, but was known as Ada Lovelace. Ada and King had a relatively happy marriage, with King even encouraging his wife’s love for numbers.
During her youth Ada was introduced to the Scot, Mary Somerville, who was known as the “Queen of 19th Century Science” and was the first woman to be accepted into the Royal Astronomical Society. It was through Mary Somerville that Ada first heard of Charles Babbage’s idea for a new calculating (计算) engine. Attracted by this idea, Ada began a period of letter-writing with him that would come to decide her professional life.
Ada met Babbage when she was around 17 and the two became close friends. Babbage was working on an “Analytical Engine”, something he was designing to deal with complex ( 复杂的) calculations. Ada was later asked to translate an article. She not only translated the article but added pages and pages of notes, calculations and innovations (创新). Her notes were published in 1843 and it turned out that what she had written was so original, it is now seen as the first comprehensive comment on what would become modern-day computer programming. Although impressive, Ada was not actually given credit for the article until 1848.
28. What happened to Ada in her childhood
A. She was pushed to learn scientific knowledge.
B. She had to compare herself with other women.
C. She gave up learning because of her father’s nature.
D. She had no father any more.
29. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean
A. Ada thought poetry was boring.

D Ada believed poetry was harder than science.
30. What decided Ada’s professional life

C. Her husband’s encouragement.
D. Her communication with Babbage.

A Beijing-based gene firm on Monday announced the debut (首次亮相) of the world’s first, cloned wild article wolf via video. 100 days after its birth in a Beijing lab. Experts said its birth pioneers the breeding of more rare and endangered animals through cloning technology.
“To save the endangered animal, we started the research cooperation with Harbin Polarland on cloning the arctic wolf in 2020. After two years of painstaking efforts, the arctic wolf was cloned successfully. It is the first case of its kind in the world,” Mi Jidong, the company’s general manager of the Beijing-based Sinogene Biotechnology Co., said at a press conference in Beijing.
Born on June 10, the wolf, named Maya, is in very good health. Its donor cell came from the skin sample of a wild female arctic wolf, which had been introduced from Canada to Harbin Polarland. The cloning of the arctic wolf was accomplished by constructing 137 new embryos (胚胎), followed by the transfer of 85 embryos to the uteri of seven dogs, of which one was born as a healthy wolf-Maya, Zhao noted. The selection of a dog as Maya’s surrogate (代孕) was made because dogs share genetic ancestry with ancient wolves and it’s more likely to succeed through cloning technology, experts said.
He Zhengming, the head of Chinese Experimental Animal Resources Research Institute for Food and Drug Control, said that the cloned animals still have the ability to reproduce if they have intact fertilized eggs. The cloning technology can copy all genetic information for selective breeding, and in this way, it diversifies the population of endangered animals.
From the world’s first mammal clone “Dolly”, cloning technology has provided the possibility to diversify the populations of some species such as cattle, pigs and horses. When endangered species in some places are identified, cloning of cells preserved from freezing technologies could also generate new life, experts said.
However, some raised controversy relating to the cloned arctic wolf. Sun Ouanhui, a scientist from the World Animal Protection organization, insisted that cloning technology has made great progress since its birth, but it is still being perfected and in the exploratory stage of research, and there are many technical and ethical issues that need to be tackled and treated with caution.
32. What is the significance of the first cloned wild arctic wolf’s birth
A. To produce more endangered species through cloning.
B. To help the scientists win an award.
C To promote the research cooperation.
D. To increase the profit of wildlife reserves.
33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. Maya is the first cloned arctic wolf in the world.
B. Wild arctic wolves are easily available in Harbin Polarland.
C. There is no scientific support for choosing a dog as Maya’s surrogate.
D. Researchers experienced trial and error to achieve the successful birth of Maya.
34. What’s the author’s attitude toward cloning technology
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Opposed.
35. Which is the best title of the passage
A. The Research on the Rare and Endangered Animals
B. The Debut of the World’s 1st Cloned Wild Arctic Wolf
C. The Beginning of the Cloning Technology Application
D. The Conservation of Endangered Wildlife through Cloning Technology

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was excited as I walked into the classroom. Today was my birthday! I set down the box of treats I had brought for the class. Birthdays were a big deal in our classroom. The birthday person brought treats for the class, and he or she got to choose someone our teacher called “the birthday helper" to pass them out. My friends, Andrea, Crystal and I had talked about choosing each other on our birthdays. I still hadn't decided which of my two best friends I was going to choose. I knew both of them were expecting me to pick them, but I just couldn't decide. I didn't want either one of them to be mad at me.
A loud shout stopped my thoughts. “Hi, April!" shouted Lisa.
No one liked Lisa. She had dirty hair that looked like it always needed to be washed. The kids made fun of her a lot. She annoyed me sometimes, too, but I tried to be nice to her.
"Did you bring treats today "
“Yes," I answered.“ Today is my birthday!"
Lisa's parents were divorced(离婚的)，and her dad gave her and her mom lots of problems. Lisa once told me that I was the only friend she had. At times I felt embarrassed to hang out with her, but she never seemed to notice when I didn't want her around.
The bell rang, and we quickly went to our seats. Our teacher, Mrs. Doughty, started class, and I pushed aside my thoughts. The rest of the morning flew by, and soon it was time for the lunch break.
Mrs. Doughty announced that today was my birthday. I forced a smile, but my stomach turned over. I retrieved(取回) my cupcakes at the back of the room and slowly went to stand beside Mrs. Doughty. I didn't know what to do! Should I choose Andrea or Crystal
Then Lisa caught my attention.
“No one ever chooses me on their birthday!" she said loudly. Her face looked so sad. I saw the hurt she felt from the rejection(嫌弃) she constantly faced from our classmates.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, I knew my decision.
