24、   A cloned black-footed ferret(雪貂), Elizabeth Ann, born on Dec.10, 2020, has become the first successful clone of an endangered animal in the US and has turned a new page in animal protection.

Black-footed ferrets are one of the most endangered animals in North America, with fewer than 500 in the wild. But in the early 1900s, they were widespread throughout the American West. Later, the ferrets disappeared with their primary food source, prairie dogs(土拨鼠) dying out.

Fortunately, thanks to the cloning technology, Elizabeth Ann came to the earth. She was cloned from Willa, a ferret who died in 1988. Willa’s genes(基因) were saved for years since the cloning technology was not perfect enough at that time. “The theory of genes showed the genetic value that Willa could bring to her babies.” Ryan Phelan, who was working in the project, told CNN. “But it was a promise to see this type of ferret pass on that has led to the successful birth of Elizabeth Ann. If Elizabeth Ann can reproduce later on, the number of the ferrets may grow, which helps them stand stronger against natural risks, CBS news reported. However, the effects of cloning remain unclear, according to CNN.

Elizabeth Ann will not be put into the wild and will stay in the lab where she was born so researchers can study her, according to BBC. The team is now working on producing more “Elizabeth Anns”  in the coming months. Besides that, researchers also point out the importance of protection for ferrets’ living places.

【1】What can we know about the black-footed ferrets from the text?

A．They lead a happy life in the wild.

B．They have no chance to pass on.

C．They are in danger of dying out.

D．They can protect themselves well.

【2】The black-footed ferrets are in a bad situation because of ________.

A．the harm of hunting

B．the shortage of food

C．the change of genes

D．the pollution of water

【3】According to the text, the scientists protect the black-footed ferrets through ________.

A．providing enough food

B．changing living places

C．keeping them in the lab

D．using the cloning technology

【4】Which picture may show the change of the ferrets if cloning technology works well?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【5】What would be the best title of the text?

A．Effects of Cloning Technology

B．Ways of Protecting Animals

C．Cloning for Animal Protection

D．Research for Wild Animals

25、   Cats are often considered lazy.  They love napping( 打 盹 ) on their own comfortable  beds.However, as Gary the cat shows us, some kittens also love adventure.

Gary is a five-year-old long-haired cat. He goes on camping trips in the Rockies(落基山脉) with his owners every weekend. The cat has his own social media page. He can often be seen exploring snowy peaks( 高 峰 ) in a warm jacket. The cat also enjoys taking pictures with his dog brothers.

James Eastham is Gary’s “dad” and his social media manager. Eastham met Gary when the cat was about two years old. It turned out that Gary was born with an interest in exploring the  great outdoors. He would manage to escape from Eastham’s apartment several times every month. Eastham and his wife then started to take Gary out for walks.

Shortly after that, the Easthams moved to the mountains. Slowly, Gary went on bigger and bigger  adventures. He started with the family’s yard and then parks. As Gary became more comfortable outside, his owners took him on trips to more distant(遥远的) places and for longer periods of time. Eventually, Gary was ready for the mountains and all the fun outdoor activities. This past winter, Gary even tried skiing for the first time.

When he is  tired, Gary will just “hitch  a ride( 搭便车)” on his owners.“These days, he prefers to ride on my shoulders instead of in his pack,” said Eastham.

According to Eastham, outdoor adventures seem to have been good for Gary. The cat used to be shy. Now, he has become much more confident around strangers. “He has even gotten friendlier,” said Eastham.

Gary has become one of the most famous cats on the internet. However, it seems the fame hasn’t gone to his head. “Gary is still a cat,” said Eastham. “It mostly only cares about having enough treats(美餐) every day.”

26、In films, spies(间谍) are lucky people. They are smart and adventurous. But a real spy’s life is not that exciting. They must live a life of lies. Their work is dangerous and they may have to pay for it with their lives. American spy Nathan Hale (1755-1776) was one of these people.

Why does someone want to be a spy? Some do it for their country. Some for money. Some just love it. Nathan Hale became a spy for the first reason. He lived during the American Revolution (革命). He and his people fought the British army.

In 1774, Hale joined the American army. Before that, he was a schoolteacher. Two years later, he chose to be a spy. He had to get information from the British army. He went to the city where the British army was staying. He told them that he was a schoolteacher and wanted to find a new job. He tried to get information for the American army. Hale finally got something important and decided to go back. He hid some papers in his boots. He went to the riverbank and waited for a boat to pick him up. However, British soldiers caught Hale at the riverbank and found the papers in his boots. It turned out that as a young spy, Hale didn’t have enough experience. He had told his secret to somebody else. But that person sold him out to the British army. Hale died on Sept 22, 1776. His final words were: “I only regret I have but one life to lose for my country.” He died at the age of 21.

27、THIS year the US Mint will honor one of the country’s most famous writers.

“Mark Twain”， the pen name of Samuel Clemens(1835-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844).

  Now he is going to have his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins.

  But does Twain need to be commemorated? It doesn’t seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of money with Twain’s famous face on it wouldn’t have made people forget about him.

  The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works.

  Motherless Huck Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Huck’s freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father， he isn’t really looking for freedom， but survival.

  It’s even more of a problem for a slave. Jim， the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps， makes Huck’s life seem even better. It’s easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(财产).

Huck and Jim’s friendship， as shown by Mark Twain， is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character， Huck， who gets an idea of the African American experience.

Mark Twain is famous and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway， the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.

With the race issue(种族问题) far from dead in the US today， perhaps Twain still has something to teach today’s readers.

【1】 How many novels is mentioned written by Mark Twain in this passage?

A. One   B. Two   C. Three   D. Four

【2】Why is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn considered Twain’s greatest works?

A. It talks about how a black slave runs away from his violent owner. 

B. It describes an everlasting friendship between people of different races.

C. It describes the social problem that a lack of money is the root of all evil.

D. It talks about a white American understanding the African American experience.

【3】 According to the passage， which statement is NOT true?

A. Huck gets away from his father for survival.

B. Jim escapes from his slave owner for freedom.

C. Twain dug deeply into American society of his times.

D. Without the special coins， he’ll probably be forgotten.

【4】 The underlined phrase “far from dead” probably means _______.

A. still being there. B. Becoming more serious.

C. Being in danger.     D. Gone for a long time.

【5】What’s the main purpose of the article?

A. To tell the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

B. To tell readers about the special coins created to honor Mark Twain.

C. To explore why the US still remembers and honors Mark Twain.

D. To draw readers’ attention to the many race issues in the US today.
