M：These days, the word “clone” has appeared very often in the newspapers.Do you know its meaning?35lCMpb6TL
W：I read a report.It said that Dr Ian Wilmut successfully cloned a lamb named Dolly from a grownup sheep.So people call him the “father” of Dolly.35lCMpb6TL
M：In fact, the word “clone” means to produce the “same” animal by taking cells from a grownup one.I think if we know how to do cloning，we need only to keep a small number of sheep，cows or horses.35lCMpb6TL
W：What's more, these days some people even want to clone humans.They have asked：Can we clone ourselves?35lCMpb6TL
M：It seems interesting.But do you think it possible to do
that?35lCMpb6TL
W：No，impossible! First, I think we cannot clone a dead person, because the cells in his body are dead already.35lCMpb6TL
M：Then can we clone a living person?
W：Again no! You might clone yourself one after another, but it is only a copy, not a real you. It is only something, not a “human”．35lCMpb6TL
M：Well, you mean that it is not a real human.
W：True enough! I think Dr Wilmut would most like to make better animals, and it has nothing to do with human cloning.35lCMpb6TL 听第9段材料，回答第14至17题。

W：Have you ever listened to the record of Elvis
Presley?35lCMpb6TL
M：Oh, maybe you are too young to know him. He was a famous American singer. When he was born in 1935, his twin brother died. He grew up in a poor home, but his parents were kind and
loving.35lCMpb6TL
W：Is he still alive?
M：No, he died in 1977. When he was a child, he won several talent competitions. After he left school, he worked as a truck
driver.35lCMpb6TL
W：How did he become popular?
M：The first person to realize that he was a good singer was the owner of a record company. But the man who really guided him to become successful was Tom Parker, who later became Elvis's manager in 1955 and soon made him into a worldfamous rock and roll star.35lCMpb6TL W：What do you think of his songs?
M：I still like them though so many years have passed. But during his time, not all people favored his songs. Many old people thought that his song was dangerous for the young.35lCMpb6TL
W：How did people change their attitude?
M：Yes, Elvis helped to change them.
W：I'd like to borrow some of his records. Do you know where I can get them?35lCMpb6TL
M：Y ou can get them from the library. Besides, there are also a
lot of books introducing his life and his music.35lCMpb6TL W：Good. Would you like to go to the library with me so that you can give me some good suggestions?35lCMpb6TL
M：I'll be glad to, but not today. I have classes in the afternoon.35lCMpb6TL

People invented poetry as a help to remember things. Before the invention of writing there was no other way but to remember important things. People early discovered that rhyme and rhythm were very
helpful when they were trying to remember things. So they made poems to help them remember all the things they needed to know and pass on from generation to generation. For example, to remember their history they recited great stories about their ancestors and the wars that were fought. But people also needed to remember practical things such as where to find good caves to sleep, where to find water that could be drunk or when to plant crops. We no longer need poetry to remember things. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't or couldn't use it to help us remember and learn things better. In fact, there are a number of quite famous short poems that can help us with things that are difficult to remember.35lCMpb6TL
We can learn and remember important dates in history using rhyme. The most famous of these is: “In fourteen ninety two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” To remember that it was in 1492 that Columbus discovered America. We can even learn how to spell English words from a short poem. It is very useful to help students learn and remember how to spell some difficult words in English and it always
works.35lCMpb6TL

答案及解读
36．C。

此句意为“拿自己跟别人比是件糟糕的事”。

nothing but意为“只是；仅仅”，相当于only。

35lCMpb6TL
37．A。

空格后的timetable是“时间表”之意，依据整篇文章的意义，可以推断出此处意为“因为我们每个人的发展各有其时”，improvement是“提高；改善”之意，可以排除。

35lCMpb6TL
38．B。

这一句把人的发展和烤面包相比，进一步说明人的发展不相同。

39．B。

此句意为“既然我们各自烘烤的时间不同，就不应该老是打开烘箱看糕点烤得怎么样了，拿它跟邻居的比较”，其他选项都可以排除。

35lCMpb6TL 40．C。

or表示“否则”，根据前后两个分句之间的关系，可以推断应该用or，相当于otherwise，而其他选项都不能表达此意。

35lCMpb6TL 41．A。

可以用enter表达“上学”之意，也可以用went to，但不用
join。

42．C。

从后一句话The big question was who is wearing what today.可以得出此处只能是dressed。

35lCMpb6TL
43．D。

well－known是“著名的”；simple意为“简单的”；unforgettable是“难忘的”，都不符合句意，此句意为“在衣着上甚至有一些不言自明的原则”，unspoken是“说不出的”之意。

35lCMpb6TL
44．A。

此句意为“衣服必须是名牌，牛仔裤必须名贵”，must做可数名词，意为“必须做的事”，根据上下文的含义，此处不可用其他选项。

35lCMpb6TL
45．A。

上文提到“每个人都注意衣着”；而下文说A voice said to me，...所以可以推断作者开始“感到难为情了”。

首先可以排除self－confident和unsatisfied；由下一句，作者有nervous或embarrassed的感觉，所以用unhappy不是很贴切。

35lCMpb6TL
46．D。

how come是口语，相当于why，但后面的语序用陈述语序。

47．C。

“虽然我不胖，但我很怕长胖”。

be scared of sth意为“害怕某事”；be unaware of是“不知道，没察觉”，不合句意。

35lCMpb6TL 48．B。

因为要减肥，所以“我”开始呕吐。

选项中，只有throw up有“呕吐”之意。

49．A。

let sb. down是固定搭配，意为“让某人失望”。

50．C。

此句意为“最后，情况严重起来”，come to a head是固定搭配，意为“到达紧要关头”。

35lCMpb6TL
51．B。

pass out是“昏迷；失去知觉”之意，由上一句的it all come to a head，此句意为“一天在台上演戏的时候，突然晕头转向，昏倒了”。

give out是“耗尽；用光”之意，可以排除。

35lCMpb6TL
52．D。

“我”在心理上出了问题，所以说“承认自己有问题是我康复的第一步”，realize是“意识到”，根据上下文，其实“我”早已知道自己有问题，只是不承认罢了，所以realize不可以。

35lCMpb6TL
53．B。

that state of mind意为“那种精神状态”，a state of mind是习惯搭配，state表示“状态；状况”。

35lCMpb6TL
54．A。

yet是连词，意为“然而”，表示转折。

此句意为“我什么都有了，该快乐了，却活得那么痛苦”。

55．D。

此句是祈使句，主语是you，所以后面要用yourself。

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分>
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
When the lazy days of summer arrive and the schedule is packed
with swimming, camp, and family vacations, it can be a challenge to
find time for learning. But kids' reading skills don't have to grow
cold once school's out. Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun：35lCMpb6TL
Explore your library. Visit your local library to check out books and magazines that your kids haven't seen before. Many libraries have summer reading programs, book clubs, and reading contests for even the youngest borrowers. With a new library card, a child will feel extra grown－up checking out books.35lCMpb6TL
Read on the road. Going on a long car trip? Make sure the back
seat is stocked with favorite reads. When you're not at the wheel,
read the books aloud. Get some audio books ( many libraries have large selections> and listen to them together during driving time.35lCMpb6TL Make your own books. Pick one of your family's favorite parts of summer－whether it's baseball, ice cream, or the pool－and have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines. Stick
the pictures onto paper to make a booklet and write text for it. When you're done, read the book together. Reread it whenever you
like!35lCMpb6TL
Keep in touch. Kids don't have to go away to write about summer vacation. Even if your family stays home, they can send postcards to
tell friends and relatives about their adventures. Ask a relative to
be your child's pen pal and encourage them to write each
week.35lCMpb6TL
Keep up the reading habits. Even if everything else changes during the summer, keep up the reading routines around your house. Read with your kids every day－whether it's just before bedtime or under a shady tree on a lazy afternoon. And don't forget to take a book to the beach! Just brush the sand off the pages －it's no sweat!35lCMpb6TL
56. The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. encourage parents to read
B. give advice on raising kids
C. raise a good summer reader
D. suggest places for vacations
57. If you drive on a long trip in summer, you can
______.35lCMpb6TL
A. visit the local library and join book clubs
B. borrow some audio books to listen to

Right is right. Right? Of course. But is left wrong? Well, the Romans used to think so. They thought left－handed people were mistakes of nature. Latin, the language of the Romans, had many words that expressed this view. Some words we use today still have this meaning. The Latin word “dexter” means “right”. The English word “dexterous” comes from this word. It means “handy (clever with hands>”. So, right is handy. But the Latin word for left is “sinister”. The English word “sinister” comes from this word. Sinister means “evil (very bad>”. Is it fair to call right－handed people handy and left－handed people evil? Well, fair or not, many languages have words that express such beliefs. In old English, the word for left means “weak”. That isn't much of an improvement over “evil”．35lCMpb6TL
Not very long ago, children were often forced to write with their right hands. Doctors have since found that this can be very harmful. You should use the hand you were born to use.35lCMpb6TL
People who use their left hands are just starting to get better treatment. But why they get all these bad names in the first place? One reason may be that there are not as many left－handed people as there are right－handed people. There is one left－handed person for every five right－handed ones. People who are different are often thought to be wrong. But attitudes do seem to be changing. Fair－minded right－handed people are finally starting to give left－handed people a hand.35lCMpb6TL

Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.35lCMpb6TL
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life spans (寿命> can be prolonged. 35lCMpb6TL
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的> diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.35lCMpb6TL
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned。
