A
We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening,
we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to d o” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.
But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.
I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”
She turned to me with a sad expressio n and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
21. The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ____.
A. young age
B. pretty clothes
C. lovely smile
D. beautiful hair
22. Kristen felt sad and cried because _____.
A. the guest gave her more coats to carry
B. she didn't look as pretty as Kelly
C. the guests praised her sister more than her
D. her mother didn’t introduce her to the guests
23. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Parents should pay more attention to the elder children.
B. The younger children are usually more easily hurt.
C. People usually like the younger children more.
D. Adults should treat children equally.

As the Labor Day public holiday starts this year, Chinese travel agencies have a new right: to blacklist poorly-behaved tourists in an effort to prevent ill manners. Tourists will be blacklisted for uncivilized behaviors such as acting antisocially on public transport, damaging private or public property, disrespecting local customs, or sabotaging historical exhibits. According to the regulations issued by the China National Tourism Administration (NTA), tour
guides and leaders have the right to report on bad behaviors to the government. The new regulations mainly come from the growing concern about the ill manners of Chinese tourists abroad.
In 2015, more than 83 million Chinese people traveled overseas, up 18 percent from the year 2014, according to the China Tourism Academy. But even as they travel farther, the Chinese tourists continue to take bad habits with them. From damaging ancient Egyptian temples to letting children defecate（排便）in the middle of airports, Chinese tourists have earned a bad fame. Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Yang even stressed the need for Chinese tourists to behave better while traveling overseas so as to protect China's image abroad.
Now with the latest regulations, Chinese travelers should have no excuse for rude behavior. According to the guidelines issued by NTA, when using the restroom, Chinese tourists are asked not to forget to flush the toilet after using it.
The guidelines also remind tourists of not fighting with others when they want to take pictures at tourist attractions. When flying, the guidelines advise travelers not to take life vests（救生衣）away from airplanes. Chinese tourists are also encouraged to be respectful of local customs wherever they travel.
Yet, with a very short history of traveling overseas, it is not surprising that many Chinese tourists behave badly on their foreign trips. We should give them time to change.
28. What’s the main purpose of the new regulations?
A. To blacklist poorly-behaved tourists.
B. To guide the Chinese tourists how to travel farther.
C. To introduce the famous places of interest all over the world.
D. To improve the Chinese tourists’ behavior abroad.
29. What does the underlined word “sabotaging” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Damaging.
B. Interrupting.
C. Recovering.
D. Admiring.
30. Which of the following behavior is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Damaging ancient Egyptian temples.
B. Taking life vests away from airplanes.
C. Taking photos in areas marked“No photos”.
D. Fighting with others when taking pictures.
31. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Respect local customs whenever we travel abroad.
B. Chinese tourists’ ill manners will be improved.
C. More Chinese will go abroad to travel.
D. More Chinese will be blacklisted in the future.
D
As if there weren’t enough of them in the world already, scientists have succeed ed in cloning flies. The alike fruit flies are the first insects ever cloned, says the Canadian team that created them. The question everyone asks is why anyone would want to clone flies in the first place. She hopes that the insects , which are very easy to experiment with , will help to adjust the cloning process in other animals and even in humans, where the technique is being researched to help production of therapeutic（治疗的）stem cells.
In cloning, the DNA-containing nucleus（细胞核）of an adult cell is inserted into an egg whose own nucleus has been removed. At the moment, the majority of cloned mice, sheep and other animals die before birth. It is thought this is because the adult DNA is not properly reprogrammed.
Using flies, researchers might discover genes that are important for this reprogramming, and that have matches in other animals. That is because it is relatively easy in flies to knock out the function of a single gene and then attempt cloning with these cells, which will test whether that gene is important. If such genes are firmly believed, then in theory cloned animal embryos（胚胎）might be grown in selected solutions that change the activity of those genes to improve the technique’s success rate. Although some groups have attempted to c lone insects before, Lloyd says this is the first time it has been successful. The team used a slight difference on the standard cloning process: they transferred nuclei(核子)taken fr om embryos rather than fully-grown adult cells. They sucked several nuclei out of developing fly embryos, and inserted them into a fertilized（已受精的）fly egg. From over 800 early attempts, they cloned five adult insects, the group reports in the journal Genetics.
32. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The importance of clone.
B. First insects are cloned.
C. The disagreement in clone.
D. The advantages of clone.
33. Why did the scientists clone flies?
A. There are fewer and fewer flies in the world.
B. Flies are easy to find and cheap to use.
C. They can gain some experience before cloning other animals.
D. It is safe to clone flies.
34. The failure of most cloned animals is due to _______.
A. the difference of other animals’ genes
B. the improper technique of clone
C. the complex of other animals
D. the improper reprogram of the adult gene
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Nuclei are taken from grown-up cells.
B. The clone of insects were never experimented before.
C. Scientists have cloned insects successfully for many times.
D. Animals’ cloning is likely to be successful..

From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money, and time. 36 Money is the topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
First, think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry
and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 37
Second, make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 38 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
Third, 39 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experiment. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
I hope that gives you a good start. 40 And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A. Try new things.
B. Ability is easily improved.
C. Making three or four instead.
D. Making full use of your time.
E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

Hello, everyone! It’s my great honor to be here talking about my life in Senior Three. Before coming into Senior Three, you’d better have an advance planning and preparation.
Firstly, have a good plan in study. You have finished studying most subjects in the past two years, and much attention should be put on your weaknesses. You can spend more time to make up for them. Secondly, have a regular life. Pay more attention to your diet and try to exercise regularly, so that you have a strong body for study. Most importantly, make sure you have a peaceful mind. When meeting trouble in studying or failing the important exams, you should calm down, don’t be nervous or too frustrated. The only thing for you to do for the moment is try to find out where your weak points are.
Best wishes!
