26、It's a story as old as love itself: Boy meets girl; boy accidentally shoots girl after mistaking her for a deer while high  on drugs; girl falls in love with boy.

Audrey Mayo says she had known Matthew Webb for a few weeks before he shot her in the leg and nearly killed her, but it was on that fateful day that they officially became a couple.

Mayo, 24, and Webb, 23, both of LaFayette, Georgia, were hanging out on the roof of Webb's mom's house when Webb spotted some deer.

He quickly grabbed his gun and headed into the woods. A short while later Mayo said she thought she heard Webb call out to her, asking her to bring him his knife.

She walked across the street towards his location, and Webb mistook Mayo's movement for a deer and fired a single shot.

The next thing Mayo knew, she woke up in a hospital bed with Webb sitting beside her.

Audrey's mom Mary, who works as a nurse at another hospital, thought her daughter would die. Even surviving could mean permanent brain damage.

Mary even let Matthew move in so he could help take care of Audrey during her recovery period.

Though the family refuses to hold the incident against Webb,  the local  authorities  are not  so  forgiving. He was arrested on charges of firing a gun within 150 feet of a road. He also faces several hunting violation and drug charges after admitting he was high on “several illegal drugs” at the time of the shooting.

Audrey, however,  insists the two will continue to love each other.

【1】What does the underlined word “spotted” mean in the third paragraph?

A. Heard.   B. Found.

C. Caught.   D. Fired.

【2】What didn't Matthew do according to the passage?

A. He asked Mayo to bring him his knife.

B. He hung out with Mayo on the roof of his mother's house.

C. He grabbed his gun, walking towards the woods.

D. He fired a single shot at Mayo by mistake.

【3】Why did Mayo go in the direction of Matthew?

A. Because Matthew asked her to bring him his knife.

B. Because she went to catch the deer.

C. Because she thought she heard Matthew call her.

D. Because she wanted to move to the deer.

【4】Which is the best title of the passage?

A. An Unexpected Accident

B. A Kind Person

C. A Romantic Love

D. A Lucky Deer

27、   Cloning has always been with us and is here to stay. It is a way of making an exact copy of another animal or plant. It happens in plants when gardeners take cuttings from growing plants to make new ones. It also happens in animals when twins identical in sex and appearance are produced from the same original egg. The fact is that these are both examples of natural clones. 

Cloning has two major uses. Firstly, gardeners use it all the time to produce commercial quantities of plants. Secondly, it is valuable for research on new plant species and for medical research on animals. Cloning plants is straightforward while cloning animals is very complicated. It is a difficult task to undertake. Many attempts to clone mammals failed. But at last the determination and patience of the scientists paid off in 1996 with a breakthrough — the cloning of Dolly the sheep.

The procedure works like this:

Female sheep A provides an egg cell.      

The nucleus is removed from the egg cell.

The egg cell is ready for a new nucleus.    

Female sheep B provides a somatic cell for the clone. The nucleus of this cell contains all the genes needed to produce a new sheep.

The nucleus is taken out of the somatic cell.

The nucleus from sheep B and the egg cell from sheep A are joined using electricity.

The cell divides and grows into an embryo.

The embryo is put into female sheep C, who becomes the carrier of the clone.

The lamb is the clone of the donated cell from sheep B which provided the nucleus.

On the one hand, the whole scientific world followed the progress of the first successful clone, Dolly the sheep. The fact that she seemed to develop normally was very encouraging. Then came the disturbing news that Dolly had become seriously ill. Cloning scientists were cast down to find that Dolly’s illnesses were more appropriate to a much older animal. Altogether Dolly lived six and a half years, half the length of the life of the original sheep. Sadly the same arbitrary fate affected other species, such as cloned mice. The questions that concerned all scientists were: “Would this be a major difficulty for all cloned animals? Would it happen forever? Could it be solved if corrections were made in their research procedure?”

On the other hand, Dolly’s appearance raised a storm of objections and had a great impact on the media and public imagination. It became controversial. It suddenly opened everybody’s eyes to the possibility of using cloning to cure serious illnesses and even to produce human beings.

Although at present human egg cells and embryos needed for cloning research are difficult to obtain, newspapers wrote of evil leaders hoping to clone themselves to attain their ambitions. Religious leaders also raised moral questions. Governments became nervous and more conservative. Some began to reform their legal systems and forbade research into human cloning, but other countries like China and the UK, continued to accumulate evidence of the abundant medical aid that cloning could provide. However, scientists still wonder whether cloning will help or harm us and where it is leading us.

【1】Which one is the best statement about the uses of cloning?

A．To produce commercial quantities of plants.

B．To research on new plant species.

C．To do medical research on animals.

D．All of the above.

【2】It can be inferred(推断) from the passage that a cloned animal _________.

A．is usually as healthy as the original one.

B．usually lives as long as the original one.

C．usually lives longer than the original one.

D．usually lives shorter than the original one.

【3】Which is correct about the cloning of Dolly the sheep?

A．Female sheep A is more important than the female sheep B and C.

B．Female sheep C provides a somatic cell.

C．The joined cell divides and grows straight into the lamb.

D．Female sheep A’s egg cell whose nucleus is taken out is ready for the nucleus of a somatic cell from female sheep B.

【4】Why is cloning controversial in some countries?

A．Because it is a difficult task to undertake in some countries.

B．Because it is difficult to get the human eggs and embryos.

C．Cloning is controversial in some countries for moral and religious reasons.

D．Because some countries forbade research into cloning.

【5】What do you think is the writer’s point of view?

A．Impartial

B．Positive

C．Negative

D．Indifferent(漠不关心的)

28、Math anxiety is far from uncommon, but too often, those who fear the subject simply avoid it. Research from The University of Chicago offers evidence for the link between math anxiety and avoidance.

Studying nearly 500 adults through a computer program called the Choose—And—Solve Task (CAST) the researchers gave participants a choice between math and word problems labeled “easy” and “hard”. The easy problems were always worth two cents, while the hard problems were worth up to six cents. They also informed participants the computer task would modify the questions in the process of testing based on their abilities, enabling them to handle about 70% of the hard problems.

Although participants attempted hard word problems when promised higher monetary prizes, they rarely chose to do the same for math problems. “We found we couldn’t even pay math-anxious individuals to do difficult math problems,” researcher Rozek says.

The findings also contradict a widely held belief that feeling anxious about math and avoiding math-related problems is rooted in being bad at math. “If you take two students good at math, the math-anxious one will do worse at math than the one that isn’t anxious.”

Such a mentality does more than stopping people from taking calculus courses or pursuing a career in STEM. It can affect everyday interactions with math-like leaving a tip in a restaurant. But all is not lost. Reframing their anxiety from negative to positive could help math-anxious people re-engage. Giving those anxious about siting exams guidance may lead them to perform better. “Telling them if you’re anxious, this is your body getting you ready to perform and focus,” Rozek says. Another path may be to create early positive experiences around math. For example, telling stories featuring math and tackling problems around the story may be helpful.

【1】What does the underlined word “modify” mean in paragraph 2?

A．Adjust.

B．Design.

C．Solve.

D．Add.

【2】What does the study find?

A．Math anxiety interacts with math avoidance.

B．Word problems are often regarded as easier.

C．Fear of math can outweigh higher rewards.

D．People underrate their mathematical ability.

【3】What is a common misunderstanding about math anxiety?

A．It is the cause of math avoidance.

B．It causes people to be bored of math.

C．It is a complex phenomenon in life.

D．It results from poor math performance.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．Consequences of math avoidance.

B．Ways to break the anxiety-avoidance link.

C．Explanations for math anxiety.

D．Mental barriers to mathematical achievements.

29、At the age of 50, Nina Schoen expects to have a long life ahead of her, but has thought a lot about death—and why people are so reluctant to talk about it: “It’s going to happen to all of us,” she says, “but it should be a more positive experience than the fear we put into it.”

When she first heard about a new end-of-life process that turns the body into compost (堆肥), “I was really moved by the idea,” says Schoen, who became one of the first to reserve a spot with a Seattle-based company called Recompose, the county’s first funeral home to offer human composting.

Last year Recompose began transforming bodies to soil, more formally known as natural organic reduction. Before that, end-of-life options in the U.S. were limited to burial or cremation (火化), both of which come with environmental costs—U.S. cremations alone dump 1.7 billion pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year.

Katrina Spade pioneering the composting movement has spent a decade developing the process in hopes of offering people a greener option for death care. “I wondered, ‘What if we had a choice that helps the planet rather than harms it?’” Spade tells PEOPLE. “To know that the last gesture you’ll make will be gentle and beneficial and it just feels like the right thing to do.”

After she had her own two sons, she began to wonder what she might do with her body after death. A friend who knew her interest in the topic reminded her that farmers sometimes compost the body of cows, and that sparked an idea for her theory: “If you can compost a cow, you can probably compost a human,” she thought, and she set about designing a facility to do just that.

“This is about giving people another choice,” Spade says. “At first, people react with shock—‘You really can do that?’ But so many people today are looking at their impact on the Earth. This is a popular thing because when you die, you can give back to the planet.”

【1】How do people react when it comes to death according to paragraph 1?

A．They are unwilling to comment.

B．They can face it without fear.

C．They feel it a positive experience.

D．They would like to compost their bodies.

【2】What can we know about the company Recompose?

A．Its CEO is Katrina Spade.

B．It is located in Seattle.

C．It was founded to resist cremation.

D．It has spent 10 years composting bodies.

【3】What does the underlined word “sparked” probably mean?

A．Changed.

B．Compromised.

C．Quitted.

D．Inspired.

【4】What message does the author seem to convey in the text?

A．A little things in our life can bring in big outcomes.

B．We human beings should do all we can to help the earth.

C．Composting is so popular that we should reserve a spot soon.

D．We should reject burial because of its harm to environment.
