A
Despite growing up in Croydon and Liverpool，neither Grace nor Paul felt at home in the city. After meeting at Staffordshire's Keele University，they fell in love with Skye on a geology field trip in 1979.
“The island is only 50 miles north to south，but the variety of terrain(地形) and wildlife is impressive，” says Paul.
Grace adds，“We both loved Gavin Maxwell's Ring of Bright Water and were really passionate about otters(水獭)．It was our dream to get away from the rat race，get married and run wildlife holidays and courses on Skye.”
Five years and 29 loan applications later，they moved to Skye.They were relieved to say goodbye to crowds and traffic and found that the island (population: about 20,000) attracts like-minded people.“A lot of musicians and craftspeople move here，looking for peace，” says Grace.
After locals started bringing them injured animals，they built a wildlife hospital and have since cared for 170 otters.Paul has gained a PhD in otter ecology and they've set up the International Otter Survival Fund ()，which supports conservation projects worldwide.
Their three kids had carefree childhoods in a tightknot community.“We could give them lots of freedom because people watch out for each other's children here，” Grace explains.
She continues，“We go to Inverness (a town in northern Scotland)
about once a year for a concert，but otherwise everything we want is here. You have to be mentally and practically selfsufficient. We built a metal shed (小屋)，but that took off in the 90 mph winds. Anything not built solidly will leave.
It's often very dark and wet from November to March，which can be quite depressing.If there's wind and rain at the same time，no amount of waterproof clothing will keep you dry. But we make up for it in the summer. With the long days，there's nowhere better.”
Paul concludes，“There's something so special about living here and having a sense of belonging.”
21．What can we learn about Paul and Grace?
A．They grew up in the countryside.
B．They have difficulty getting along with others.
C．They hold different opinions as to where to live.
D．They're determined and environmentally aware.
22．What's life on Skye like in Grace's eyes?
A．It's lonely.
B．It's quite busy.
C．It can be hard sometimes.
D．It may be boring for young people.
23．What's the best title for the text?
A．A remote island
B．An ottersaving project
C．Getting away from it all
D．Feeling at home in the city?
B
“Deextinction”， the idea that extinct (绝种的) animals can be brought back through cloning or genetic (基因的) engineering，has attracted the interest of a small group of scientists. The topic has
made the cover of National Geographic Magazine. Supporters say they are doing it for moral reasons and because we “miss” the extinct animals. They blame human exploitation (such as trapping，hunting, habitat destruction ) of the extinct animals, but their plans, though they sound exciting, are exploitation in another form.
Considering the imperfect science of cloning, deextinction would cause animals suffering. Most animals born of such experiments would suffer serious diseases, dying soon after birth or having a shortened lifetime. Spanish and French scientists worked for years to bring the Pyrenean ibex, a species of wild goat, back from extinction by cloning. In 2009, they succeeded only in producing a sick baby goat that died 10 minutes after birth. For these animals to be born, other animals would live in captivity, in a lab or elsewhere, and serve as mother substitutes (代用品)，routinely having operations as part of the cloning process. For example, elephants would be kept in captivity to carry woolly mammoth (猛犸) babies for nearly two years. Such experiments often lead to other animals' unhappiness as well.
If extinct animals are successfully brought back, where would they go? Their original habitats have developed and changed without them. They are unlikely to survive in the natural environment, but, if they do manage to survive, they will affect their environment in unpredictable ways, presenting a new threat to the ecological system. If the animals born through deextinction are stuck in zoos and museums instead, what good is that? It is exploitation, not a solution.
It would be better to apply creative thinking about protection to the reallife problems of today's world. Deextinction takes attention away from the difficult situation of endangered animals. Discussions about woolly mammoth cloning do nothing to stop the illegal killings of endangered wild African elephants. Money would be better used to
prevent human conflict with wildlife and their ecosystems.
Let's keep deextinction in the world of science fiction, learn from our failed past, and protect wild animals and their habitats for the future.
24．The underlined word “it”in Paragraph 1 refers to “”．
A．deextinction
B．cloning or genetic engineering
C．exploitation
D．National Geographic Magazine
25．In Paragraph 2, examples are given to show that .
A．modern elephants are related to woolly mammoth
B．scientists should improve the cloning process
C．deextinction does harm to some animals
D．it's possible to bring back extinct animals
26．What might happen if extinct animals come back to the wild?
A．The problem of extinction will be solved.
B．They will live in their original habitats.
C．The balance of nature may be disturbed.
D．More endangered animals will be saved.
27．According to Paragraph 4, deextinction may .
A．prevent the illegal killings of African elephants
B．make people care less about endangered animals
C．prevent the conflict between humans and animals
D．raise public awareness of protecting animals
C
Dear Alcohol，
You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused me.
Do you remember the night when you almost took my father's life?
I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you and to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one badly hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party? My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could.
I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. “I'm so embarrassed，”they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. “I'm sorry，” they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won't happen again，” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-yearold girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car headon and killed two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.
I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is not excusable. Stop attracting the people I love! Stop hurting me, please.
Sincerely，
Me 28．What did Alcohol do to the author's father that night?

Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather wellknown golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a halfdozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely
enough，each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth，successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda.They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased (停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.
What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible.The words were few, but they became memorably impressed in my mind：“In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”
To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
32．Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?
A．Wealth results from honest effort.
B．The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.
C．For some people，no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than Scotch and soda.
D．The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.
33．The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means “”．
A．Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
B．No pain，no gain
C．Failure is the mother of success
D．Bread comes from the sweat on your face
34．We learn from the passage that the author .
A．was a wealthy person in the community
B．held a positive attitude towards an active life
C．was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)
D．kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed
35．What is implied in the passage by the writer?
A．To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.
B．Where there is a will，there is a way.
C．As life is but like a dream，a man is like a fruit tree.
D．If you cease to struggle，you cease to live.

Everyone makes mistakes. 36 Making a mistake at work, however, can be more serious. It may cause problems for your employer and even affect the company's bottom line. Evil consequences will finally come down to you. Simply correcting your mistake and moving on may not be an option. When you make a mistake at work，your career may depend on what you do next.
Admit your mistake.
Tell your boss about your mistake immediately. The only exception is that you make an insignificant error that will not affect anyone. Otherwise, don't try to hide your mistake. 37 Present your boss with a plan to fix your mistake.
When you go to your boss to admit your mistake, you must have a plan for correcting it. Present your plan clearly. Tell your boss how
long it will take to carry out your plan and if there are any costs involved.
Don't blame anyone else for your mistake.
38Encourage those who may share responsibility to follow your lead in admitting to your boss.
39
There's a big difference between admitting your mistake and beating yourself up about it. Take responsibility but don't blame yourself for making it, especially in public.
Correct your mistake on your own time.
If you have to spend extra hours at work to correct your mistake, don't expect to be paid for that time. 40
A．Apologize for your mistake but don't beat yourself up.
B．Usually you can correct your error or just forget about it and move on.
C．You can use your lunch hour or come into work early.
D．Pointing fingers won't help you if you make a mistake.
E．Strengthen your friendship with your boss.
F．You'll feel ashamed if your colleague takes the responsibility for you.
G．You will look terrible if someone else discovers it.
