AHave you traveled abroad this year? Overseas travel has become a trend in China. The China Tourism Academy released a report on Sept 8. It said that last year, Chinese mainlanders (大陆人) made 117 million trips overseas. The number will possibly hit 133 million this year, said the report.Countries and areas near the Chinese mainland were their favorites. Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand were the top three choices for visitors. United States, ranking No 8, was the most popular country outside of Asia.21.As for travelling, which is Chinese mainlanders’ favourite destination abroad?A.Hong Kong.B. Thailand.C. United States.D. Australia.22.The underlined word “hit” in Para1 can be probably replaced by ________.A.decreaseB. reachC. completeD. occur23.Which statement is True according to the text?A.117 million Chinese people travelled abroad last year.B.It costs the largest amount of money to travel to Australia.C.The majority of Chinese mainlanders prefer distant journeys.D.More and more oversea trips will be made by Chinese mainlanders.BThe Coral Sea is home to an amazing variety of turtles, sharks, whales, dolphins, large fish, birds, corals, plants, and many other species. Many of these species are endangered elsewhere in the world, but still survive in the healthy environment of the Coral Sea.The Coral Sea is a large series of coral reefs (礁) located off the northeast coast of Australia. This area is three times larger than Australia’s famous Great Barrier Reef, which the Coral Sea borders.The Coral Sea is one of the few coral reef environments that have remained largely undamaged by over-fishing, oil and gas exploration and pollution. However, statistics show that coral reefs around the world are disappearing five times faster than rainforests. It is very likely that in the near future the Coral Sea will face the same threats to its existence.The Australian government is currently looking at options for protecting the Coral Sea but has made no decisions. Environmentalists are pushing for laws to declare the Coral Sea area a marine (海洋的) protected area. This would mean a large “no-take zone” for fishermen, a no-exploration zone for gas and oil companies and a no-dump zone for pollution. This would make the Coral Sea a marine park larger than any in the world.We can write letters to Australian leaders, Australian environmental protection agencies, and Australian friends, to let them know that people worldwide support this protection of the Coral Sea. To lose this last great marine wildness would be a loss for the whole world.24. The Coral Sea is located ________.A. around AustraliaB. next to Great Barrier ReefC. far from Great Barrier ReefD. in the northwest of Australia25. What can we learn from Para 3?A. Coral reefs will survive longer than rainforests.B. The Coral Sea is completely in its original condition.C. Over-fishing is one of the main factors that damage the sea.D. There is no need to worry about the Coral Sea disappearing.26. What is the author’s attitude towards the situation of the Coral Sea?A. Concerned.B. Negative.C. Indifferent.D. Doubtful.27. The author wrote this passage to ________?A. introduce the resources of the Coral Sea.B. show the amazing features of the Coral Sea.C. recommend people not to visit the Coral Sea.D. call for the public awareness to protect the Coral Sea.CWhen a special occasion arrives, a colorful gift bag or a box often finds its way to a doorstep (门口), an office desk or a mailbox. But once in a while, a present arrives at an unexpected moment as a reminder that someone is thinking about us.Wanda Anderson of Richland, US, remembers such a gift.Seeing roses always brings to mind Wanda’s childhood memories. To this young girl, those flowers were a luxury. “We never had money to buy e xtra things, so even a tired rose was something to cherish,” Wanda said.Nowadays, to have a backyard filled with many different roses is pure enjoyment. Wanda especially loves the very first blooms. Her husband, Dale, devotedly tends (照顾) the roses and knows this little fact about his wife.On a particular morning, he picked the very first flowers of spring, fresh from the garden. But as Dale came back into the house, he was met by a neighbor who had stopped in for a quick visit. As the woman turned to go, Dale graciously (有风度地) handed the roses to her.Knowing her very precious first blooms go out the door filled her with regret, and a bit of selfishness. Throughout the rest of the morning, Wanda argued with herself, knowing logically it was “better to give than to receive.” Nevertheless, she wished she could have kept the roses for herself.Later that day, the couple headed to the post office, where Wanda waited outside in the car. Then, without warning, an older woman suddenly appeared at the car’s open window, with a bunch of multicolored roses in her arms. “These are for you,” she said, giving the flowers to Wanda. “They’re my first blooms this spring.” Totally surprised and overwhelmed (不知所措的), Wanda thanked the woman and bent for a moment to inhale (吸入) the roses’ rich fragrance. When she looked back, the mysterious visitor was gone.To this day, that “special delivery” changed Wanda. Now, her very first blooms always go to someone else, as a reminder that someone is thinking of them.28.The under lined part “such a gift” refers to a gift that ________.A.is well chosenB.is worth your gratitudeC.needs taking good care ofD.reminds you of something29.Why did Dale give the roses to the neighbour?A.Because Wanda didn’t want to keep them.B.Because Dale wanted to show his friendliness.C.Because the neighbour liked the flowers more than Wanda.D.Because the colour of the flowers was not Wanda’s favourite.30.What can be concluded from the text?A.As a child, Wanda never cared about money.B.Wanda was impressed deeply by the neighbour.C.Wanda was willing to give the flowers to the neighbour.D.The neighbour presented Wanda with flowers in return for Wanda’s kindness.31.Why does Wanda always give her first blooms to others?A.To express her regard.B.To prove her selflessness.C.To satisfy people in need.D.To show off her talented gardening.DScientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.Genetic engineering was used to introduce the “mothers’ milk” genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.As an adult, the cloned cow will produce milk that is similar to that of humans, which will prove a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants (婴儿). “The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk,” said the institute.In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of humans.“Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows’ milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of the infants,” said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said the scientific institute “makes all Argentines proud”. She also said that she had rejected the “honor” of having the cow named after her. “They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her?It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”32. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways to improve “mothers’ milk”.B. The importance of genetic engineering.C. A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.D. Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.33. Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Para 4?A. have more advantages overB. be more similar toC. have more nutrition thanD. be more different from34. The purpose of the study is to ________.A. create cows that can produce more milkB. introduce some genes into cows after birthC. make cows’ milk more like that of humansD. help babies grow cleverer and stronger35. What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner’s s tatements?A. She felt it improper to be named after the cow.B. She considered it an honor to name the special cow.C. She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.D. She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
