第一节
A
I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes—anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth?grade English class that a person could not have a “complicated(复杂的) idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony(嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)2-1-c-n-j-y
There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization”. “More than anything else in my life,” the professor told the reporter with finality, “these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore(忽视). I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato’s The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introductions of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信)of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.
21. On hearing the teacher’s suggestion of reading, the writer thought ________.
A. one must read as many books as possible
B. a student should not have a complicated idea
C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books
D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read
22. While at high school, the writer ________.
A. had plans for reading
B. learned to educate himself
C. only read books over 100 pages
D. read only one book several times
23. The underlined phrase “with finality” probably means “________”.
A. firmly B. clearly C. proudly D. pleasantly
24. The writer’s purpose in mentioning The Republic is to ________.
A. explain why it was included in the list
B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list
C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand
D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent. I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲); it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all: I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.

Girls can easily be sad. If your friend is feeling blue and calls you, what will you do? Here are some tips on how you can make her smile again.21*cnjy*com
Listen to her. When people feel sad, they often have the feeling of needing to be heard. So, listen carefully to what she is saying and do nothing else. Your friend will surely thank you for being the shoulder she can cry on.
Once you are done with listening, you can offer some advice or remain silent and let her feel everything and let it all out by crying. As a friend, you might think you should give her some advice. But if you have no idea about what to say, just remain silent and be there for her.
In order to be able to help your friend in need, don’t be sad for yourself. How can you help your friend when you are also feeling down?
A hug can make a difference in the world. It makes you feel warm and special. A hug makes you feel safe. So give your friend a hug when she needs it the most.
Spend more time with your friend who wants to be happy. Do things together like washing dishes, cleaning, or going out for fun. The more time you spend together, the stronger your friendship will become.
Sometimes, it is much better that you avoid a crying friend in your life. But by doing so, you are also keeping your friend at a distance and will make her wonder if you are her true friend. If you are there when she needs you, your friendship will be much stronger.

Employers and managers must never ignore the need for an office or industrial first aid kit (急救装置). The federal government says that every workplace should be equipped with first aid kits and that employees should be taught first aid.
Good preparation can prevent unnecessary injury, loss of productivity(生产效率) ,or even law suits when a workplace emergency occurs.
An employer must first provide the proper number of first aid kits for his workers. Many kits are available for sale online by industrial first aid kit suppliers. Kits designed for ten workers cost about $15 and kits designed for fifty workers cost about $80. There are kits also available for a small office, a vehicle, or work sites. Kits should be stored in a portable(轻便的), durable, watertight container. Fix the kit to the wall so that it is easily seen and reached in an emergency. Include a list of kit’s contents to ensure it is always fully stocked.
Show each worker where the kit is located and what tools it contains. Educate each worker about possible injuries and which ones will require immediate medical attention from professionals.
The American Red Cross sells industrial first aid kits that meet the United States’ Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s requirements. Several types of kits are available. The Personal Protection Kit contains gloves, gowns, and masks to protect workers from dangers like blood and bodily fluids. It costs about $15.

Once upon a time, a doting mother asked Albert Einstein what she should read to her son to help him grow up as brilliant and intelligent as the famous scientist.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
“Fairy tales,” he said, wisely nodding his head.
Why? Why would Albert Einstein – the Nobel Prizewinning physicist recommend reading fairy tales? Was he joking? All the evidence suggested he was deadly serious. He also said, “When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.”
Childhood is one of the factors that blur(使变模糊) the distinctions between the self and other objects. Thus fantasy stories appeal to children and appear to make sense to them.21世纪教育网
There are several commonly accepted genres(类型) of fantasy, “Animal Fantasy” which centers around the lives of lovable talking animals and “Modern Fantasy” which focuses on adventures in other worlds and magical events. I am inclined to add a third genre “Human and Animal Fantasy”, which mixes human and animal characters. Another genre of fantasy may be “High Fantasy” which features heroes who combat evil and save the world from destruction.
Fantasy feeds a child’s imagination and encourages creativity. The enjoyment that the genre engenders(产生) promotes reading and enhances literacy. Moreover, the fantasy genre may be used for teaching purposes. For example: A story about cruelty to animals would limit appeal to a child; however, a fantasy celebration of closeness between the children and their pets may give an element of excitement as the children are able to save animals from someone with cruel intentions.21世纪教育网21世纪教育网 Children love the Harry Potter series, and if they only see the movies they will miss a great opportunity to develop their reading skills by spending time with the lovable young wizards and witches(巫婆) of the Hogwarts community.21*cnjy*com

The seven Harry Potter novels are to be sold as e?-books for the first time in October. Author J. K. Rowling announced the series would also be available as audio books through a new website – Potter more.
The website will also feature new material which Rowling says she has been collecting for years. “This is such a great way to give something back to the fans who made Harry Potter such a huge success,” the author said.
The Harry Potter novels have sold more than 450 million copies through Bloomsbury in Britain, and Scholastic in the United States.

Pottermore went live on 31st July, Harry Potter’s birthday. Rowling told the BBC that the new material was being released online, rather than in a new book, because she did not have “a new story”.中/华-“Most of this writing is material I generated(创作) while I was writing the books earlier,” she said. “It’s background, and lots of details. Some of it is new stuff in reply to things fans have asked me over the years.”
The site, which Rowling said she had been working on for two years, promises to immerse(使沉浸于) users in the boy wizard’s world, offering opportunities for computer gaming, social networking and an online store. One million users will be chosen to help develop the online world, before it is open to all users from October.
Rowling told reporters at the London Pottermore launch she had no intention of writing an eighth Harry Potter book.
10. What would be the best title for this text?

“A serious attack on the fantasy stories for children comes from those who do not wish children to be frightened,” writes C.S. Lewis in an essay named Three Ways of Writing for Children. Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things. Firstly, they mean that we mustn’t do anything likely to give children fears, and secondly, they want to keep out of their minds that they are born into a world of death, violence(暴力), wounds and evil(邪恶). C.S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.21·世纪*教育网
He goes on to comment, “Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel(残酷的) enemies, let them at least hear of brave fighters and heroic courage. By limiting your children to perfect and nice stories of childhood in which nothing alarming ever happens, they would fail to face fears and hardships.” “It would be nice,” he continues, “if no little boy in bed ever hears a frightening sound. But if he is to be frightened, I think St. George, or any bright champion in armor, is a better comfort than the idea of the police.”21世纪教育网21世纪教育网21教育名师原创作品
Bruno Bettelheim, a well-known child psychologist, also points out that fantasy stories provide children with a valuable education about good and evil. He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.

Module 3 小练习
I. 阅读理解
A
Finding a good friend can be quite difficult in the contemporary lives of teenagers. I was once baffled by what the definition of a good friend was, until I discovered a single step that, if taken, would make you the greatest friend.
It is willingness. That is all it takes in order to be considered a good friend. Willingness must come from within your heart. Listening to your friends makes them feel important, special and wanted. The willingness to sacrifice for your friends will also take you a step closer to being a good friend. For instance, as you are about to leave to enjoy your Saturday night, your best friend calls you right when you are stepping out and tells you how terrible he feels, you must be willing to give up your Saturday night and go to your friend’s house and try to comfort him in any way that you can.
You must always be willing to give advice to your friends. For example, if your friends are in a situation where they do not know what to do, you must be willing to think things through and try to give them the best advice. The willingness to care is also a big must in being a good friend. You must care about how your friends feel and what they’re experiencing. Caring about your friends is one of the best things you can do, because when your friends are in their time of need and the whole world seems to turn against them, you must be the one to care.
Nobody ever said being a good friend was easy. If you want to be a good friend, you have to be willing to listen, sacrifice, give advice and care about your friends.
1. From this passage, we can learn that if a friend is confused about what to do next, we’d better ________.
A. give up our benefit to help him/her
B. leave him/her alone and let him/her calm down
C. listen to him/her quietly
D. offer him/her some reasonable advice
2. The underlined word “baffled” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A. confused B. frustrated C. curious D. frightened
3. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. being a good friend is so difficult that few people can do it
B. willingness can make a person a good friend
C. friendship always means sacrificing your own interests
D. a person doesn’t need to care about his friends all the time
4. What method does the author use to explain his opinion in the second paragraph?
A. Making a definition. B. Citing an example.
C. Making a comparison. D. Listing some numbers.
5. What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. How to encounter a good friend. B. How to be a good friend.
C. How to make friends with others. D. How to maintain friendship.
B
In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults(过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on(信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favour, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience(经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humour(幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!
6. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?
A. Understanding. B. Honesty. C. Reliability. D. A sense of humour.
7. If you have fair weather friends, ________.
A. they will give you all that they have when you need help
B. you will be refused when you get into trouble
C. you will become rich
D. you can be sure that you get real friends
8. Good friends need to ________.
A. always point out each other’s mistakes B. be helped with money
C. understand each other’s feelings D. have money or luck
9. This passage mainly discusses ________.
A. the qualities of a friend B. where to choose friends
C. how to get along with friends D. the importance of having a friend
C
Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Paris. That’s where the similarities ended.
I was tall and she was short. I was one of the oldest in the class while she was the youngest. I was awkward(笨拙的) and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t stand her, considering her my enemy. But she wanted to be friends with me.
One day, she invited me over and I said yes—I was too shocked to say no. Actually no one had invited me over to play before. But this girl, who wore the latest fashions, wanted to see me.
She lived on the fourth floor in a two?-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister. When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies which was my next surprise. I would have thought she’d outgrown(长大而放弃) them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk?in cupboard laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That’s when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older. We both had wild imaginations.
We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws(下巴) ached from smiling so much. She showed me her outfits(全套服装), which had mostly come from a designer clothing store(时装设计店) down the block. The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.
Paris had the whole neighbourhood attracted. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free pieces. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other’s houses, spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.
Paris, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through the tough teenage years and taught me an amazing thing about making friends: your “worst enemy” can turn out to be your best friend.
10. Which of the following is most probably the best title?
A. A story about Paris B. An unlikely best friend

Research suggested classical music fans were shy, while heavy metal fans were gentle and at ease with themselves.
The research, which was carried out by Professor Adrian North of Heriot?Watt University, is said to be the largest such study ever done.
Professor North described the research as significant and surprising. He said, “We have always suspected a link between musical taste and personality. This is the first time that we’ve been able to look at it in real detail. No one has ever done this on this scale (规模) before.”
Professor North said the research could have many uses in marketing, adding, “If you know a person’s music preference you can tell what kind of person he / she is. There are obvious implications(暗指) for the music industry who are worried about decreasing CD sales.” One of the most surprising things is the similarities between fans of classical music and heavy metal. They’re both creative and at ease but not outgoing. The general public has held a prejudice of heavy metal fans being depressed and of being a danger to themselves and society in general. But they are quite delicate things.
More than 36,000 people from all over the world were asked to evaluate 104 musical styles and also questioned about aspects of their personality. Professor North, who is the head of the university’s department of applied psychology, is still looking for people to fill in a short online questionnaire.

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some ways of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.21世纪教育网
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in two rows, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk around the chairs. Every one goes in the same direction, of course. They should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.中/华-21世纪教育网
At last, there will be two players and one chair! The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
5. If ten people are playing musical chairs, you must begin with ________.21·世纪*教育网A. nine chairs B. ten chairs C. eleven chairs D. one chair
6. Which of the following is NOT suitable for playing Musical Chairs?
A. A piano. B. A radio. C. A tape recorder. D. A telephone.

C. walk around the chairs D. sit on the chairs
9. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

There is an interesting, but at the same time a sad phenomenon now: there is a rise in the number of singers and bands that have little to do with good music. Many singers or bands know little about what good music means. What is the cause of this rise?21教育网
Most of these singers have taken music as a “job” because it is a good source of making money. And if you have a good appearance and also original or expensive clothes to show off at your concerts or at different appearances in public, then your voice is not as important as it should be. The public will prefer to admire more the most interesting parts of your body, whether you are a girl or a boy. They will even forget about the fact that you are there to show your music skills, not your dancing, which is important too, but not at such a high level.21世纪教育网21世纪教育网
Therefore, we can see many young girls on TV who look very good but who have nothing to do with music. They choose to wear very provocative(挑逗的) clothes to catch attention, but when it comes to singing, they are a complete mess and one doesn’t need to have an ear for music to notice their lack of talent. But anyway, they have concerts and they enjoy travelling from one place to another. It is the public’s fault because they accept this and are pleased with this commercial music. People who enjoy this kind of music are generally young people while adults prefer listening to old good bands.www-2-1-cnjy-com
However, the young generation should understand that while appearance is important, it is less important than talent and a good voice. It is very necessary to be able to sing well when preparing a concert and all these bands that have little to do with good music are failures on stage. If somebody has a great voice and wants to become a singer, he should take some special courses in this area, because they will help him improve his singing ability.
10. The passage shows that many singers consider music as ________.
A. an art serving the public B. a good way of making money
C. a way of living fully D. a fashionable lifestyle
11. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The public have an ear for good music.
B. The audience prefer good music to the appearance of singers.
C. The public are to blame for the popularity of commercial music.
D. Most people like listening to old good bands.
y12. From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. appearance is the most important thing in the world of music
B. all people who have received training in singing can become famous
C. adults should help young people improve their abilities
D. a singer’s talent and voice are the most important factors
13. What do you think is the author’s attitude towards the rising number of new singers and bands?
A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Worried.

A
Human cloning technology could be used to cure heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attacks by cloning healthy heart cells and inserting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.
With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Present treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successful. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.
We should be able to clone the bone marrow(骨髓) for children and adults suffering from leukemia (白血病). This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology. We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.
Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-?related diseases. The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for people. This new technology shows unprecedented(前所未有的) progress in medicine if people can overcome their fears and let the benefit begin.
1. Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by ________.
A. removing the damaged part of the heart
B. replacing the old heart with a cloned one
C. giving the patients insertions of various medicines
D. repairing the heart with cloned heart cells from healthy ones
2. What does the underlined word “infertile”(Paragraph 2) most probably mean?
A. Unable to give birth to a child.
B. With physical and emotional problems.
C. Short of time and money.
D. Separated from each other for long.
3. According to the text, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology may be in ________.
A. the treatment of heart attacks B. the bearing of babies
C. the cure of leukemia D. the detection of gene-?related diseases
4. What can be inferred according to the last passage?
A. Many people show their fears of cloning.
B. Cloning technology can not be used to cure gene-?related diseases.
C. Human beings can’t benefit from cloning at all.21·世纪*教育网
D. Cloning technology shows unprecedented progress in medicine.

B
Agricultural scientists in the United States have put a copy of a human gene into pigs, sheep and rabbits. They report that the gene seems to be working in some of the animals. The gene that the scientists are using controls the production of the human growth hormone(荷尔蒙), a chemical necessary for growth.
They are using the human gene because it has been more closely studied than any other growth gene. The scientists hope their work will someday make food animals grow faster and larger or produce more milk or eggs. The research is being done by scientists at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Washington and the United States Department of Agriculture. The scientists put copies of human growth hormones into the fertilised(受精的) eggs(卵) of the female animals. When baby animals were born from the eggs, the scientists looked for evidence that the human gene had become part of the animal’s genetic material. They examined almost 200 baby pigs and found the gene in 20 of them. They found it in 28 of more than 200 rabbits, but it was in only one of 73 baby sheep. The scientists said they found the human growth chemical produced by the gene in some of the animals.
It is too soon to know whether the animals will pass the human growth gene into their young, if the gene has become part of their genetic material. Similar research with mice two years ago produced a new kind of mouse that is two times larger than normal. The scientists hope the same thing will happen with farm animals. They say their research will allow other gene transplants(移植器官) to give animals defense against diseases, or let them live in very hot or very cold places. American farmers already use chemical hormones to increase the size of cattle and the amount of milk they produce. But they have to put the hormones into the cows. If the gene transplants are fully successful, the cow’s body will produce growth hormones.
5. How many kinds of animals have scientists put copies of the human gene into?
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
6. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. the baby pigs B. baby animals
C. the scientists D. the baby sheep
7. What can we learn about the research with mice?
A. A new kind of mouse was produced, which is defensive against diseases.21世
B. The hormones from the mice were then put into the cows.
C. A new kind of mouse was produced, which is twice larger than normal.
D. Scientists found that the mice can live in very hot or very cold places.
8. Which part of a newspaper do you think this passage is probably taken from?
A. Amusement. B. Politics. C. Culture. D. Science and technology.

C

With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is trying hard to clone the animal and save the endangered species. That’s an action similar to what Texas A & M University researchers have been working on for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark(诺亚方舟)”.
Noah’s Ark aims to collect eggs(卵), embryos, semen(精液) and DNA of endangered animals and store them in liquid nitrogen(氮). If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic genes to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to insert the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nucleus transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in having a baby. It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be unprecedented science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
9. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to ________.
A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas
B. save endangered animals from dying out
C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D. transfer the nucleus of one animal to another
10. According to Dr. Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of ________.2
A. available panda eggs B. host animals
C. qualified researchers D. enough money
11. The best title for the passage may be ________.
A. China’s Success in Cloning Pandas
B. The First Cloned Panda in the World
C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D. China — the Native Place of Pandas Forever
12. From the passage we know that ________.
A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog
B. scientists try to implant a panda egg into a rabbit
C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D. about two thousand species will probably die out in over a century【来源：21·世

World War II lasted from 1939 to 1945. Life changed for everybody, including women and children because of the war. Millions of people lost their lives during the war. The Diary of a Young Girl was a record of that time. The book was written by a girl named Anne Frank.
Anne Frank was born in Germany in June 1929. Because the German Nazi(纳粹分子) hated the Jews(犹太人) and wanted to kill them, her family had to move to another country. In July 1942, they went into hiding in a secret place in her father’s office. During that difficult time, Anne kept writing diaries until she and her family were discovered by the Nazis in August 1944. They were caught and sent to a Nazi camp. The next year, her mother died.

Winston Churchill was born into a famous family. His father was a successful politician. However, as a boy, Churchill was considered a slow learner in school. Later he entered the Army and fought in various countries.
In October 1900, Churchill began his political career. For the next sixty years Churchill’s work as a great politician was both brighter and more difficult than his father had been.
In 1939, Germany attacked Poland. He became the Prime Minster of England in 1940 when France fell. The Germans fought their way through Western Europe. It looked as if Britain was about to lose the war.
But Churchill didn’t think so. He spoke, “I have nothing to offer but blood, hard

work, tears and sweat...You ask what is our policy? I will tell you, it is to fight, by sea, by land and air, with all our force and with all the strength that God can give us. You ask what is our aim? I can answer in one word: victory.”
The Germans began moving their armies to the French coast and prepared to go to war with the British. The British had then no enough guns to resist. Churchill gave the answer: “We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the coasts, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the field and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never give up.”
