In my room, slowly I was getting ready for the play in thecommunity theater, in which I would act with my whole family forthe first time. “Kirstie, come here,” my mom called from downstairs.“Did you put Henry’s book in the 11 ?” She askedoutside the bathroom, holding a wet book. “Not on purpose,” I said, “It was already on the edge, and it happened to 12 when I stepped out of the bathtub.”My mother looked at me angrily, 13 she had never done until I had a stepfamily. “It would be kind of you if you have picked it up,” she said.Being 14 had not been hard for me. But after Henry and his dad moved in with us, everything felt different. My mom handed the 15 to Henry and said, “We’ll get you a new one, Henry.” “This is our corner of the world now, Kirstie,” she added. “Let’s try to make it a good one.”I 16 but sighed*. I had to admit she was right.The theater was busy when we got there. Henry’s dad, who had arrived earlier to help, was17 in his costume. My mom helped Henry find his while I looked for 18 on my own. Soon we were on stage, looking 19 such a large audience, I couldn’t help taking a deep breath and then I realized how poorly I had tied the drawstring* on my skirt. I should have asked my mom for 20 .The next minute, my drawstring came untied and my skirt began to 21 . In front of hundreds of people! My arms were 22 , full of books. Laughter filled the whole theater, and 23 I was wearing shorts under my skirt, I still felt my face hot like fire.Then Henry came, tying the drawstring with a beautiful knot*. He made a joke about me “not”24 knots, and the audience laughed again. This time, the laughter felt OK.Later, I found Henry and watched him 25 . “Thanks,” I said, smiling. “For, you know.”He smiled. “Knot a problem.”Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to share my corner of the world with a new person after all.11.

The excitement starts in the city Anchorage on the first Saturday ofMarch each year. The 2020 race gets underway at 10 a.m., on Saturday, March 7,2020.The race, first run in 1973, began as a way in memory of the traditional kind of transportation between villages where dog power was being rapidly replaced by snow machines in the 1960s.There are two routes* used on different years. This makes the grounds rest by turns for a better use. The official length of the race is fifteen days. The record was set in 2017 in just less than nine days. The winner is supposed to cover the race in the shortest time under his or her own power and without aid of others. The driver must take one 24-hour stop and have a rest with dogs at an official check place. During the trip, the weather is very cold. Huge wild animals which can’t see clearly may step on dogs and sleds. So, the driver must be above 18 years old and have had a similar experience of such long distance.To make the trip go, the sled needs to carry enough food for both the driver and dogs. Special shoes must be used to protect the dogs’ feet. There are some lamps for lighting. Some tools are carried for emergency repairs. Sometimes, even an extra light-weight sled is brought along for the final leg of the journey, but the driver can use no more than 3 sleds and they have no wheels.29.When did The Sled Dog Race start?A. In the 1960s.B. In 1973.C. In 2017.D.

It is easy for you to do it.B.Get long-distance race experience first.C.Bring special sleds as many as you like.D.Never rest until you reach the destination.For thousands of years, humans have used yeast* for making bread andalcoholic drinks, such as beer. But scientists now are doing something different.When you walk into Jef Boeke’s lab, it smells like bread rising. But his teamis not making homemade bread. Instead, they are changing the order of DNA inyeast cells. That’s what we call synthetic*yeast. So far, the scientists have constructed and replaced six of yeast’s 16 chromosomes*. The new chromosomes have all worked well.By making synthetic yeast, researchers could make different combinations* used for different things. For example, one combination may be better for making biofuel, and another for making medicine. These could then be made in large, industrial amounts. Synthetic yeast could also be used to make bioplastic—a material that, unlike plastic made from oil, would be biodegradable*. Using this material would help reduce pollution. Boeke says, “The possible uses for yeast are limited* only by one’s imagination. They can be programmed through DNA writing to produce really an almost limitless types of products that can replace things which we nowadays make from oil or other sources and even some new materials that don’t even exist today.”So far, scientists have engineered yeast to produce bright colors. Red is easy to create. Orange and yellow are a little trickier. Purple is difficult. And as of yet, some colors can’t be shown in yeast at all–green for example. Still, the yeast can make artwork, and in the future, may even be used to paint a house.However, redesigning DNA worries some people. Laurie Zoloth is a bioethicist at Northwestern University. She said the work would worry people who think creating life would give humans power they should not have. Jef Boeke says his teams are not creating new life. All the experiments they do start with pre-existing living cells and they just introduced changed DNA into it. He and other scientists always look at the risks, especially when it comes to food safety. But Boeke needs at least another year to complete his pioneering project.33.In Boeke’s lab, synthetic yeast is different from common yeast in .A.the smell of the yeastB. the color of DNAC. the order of DNAD. the shape of cells34.What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably mean?A.Synthetic yeast will be able to be used widely in many areas.B.People think it’s a good idea to use synthetic yeast in more places.C.Synthetic yeast has already been used to make biofuel and bioplastic.D.People expect to create new materials with the use of synthetic yeast.35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The use of synthetic yeast may cause some trouble.B.The purpose of Boeke’s research is to create new life.C.All the colours can be produced by yeast except green.D.Yeast from Boeke’s project has been used in the daily life.36.What’s Jef Boeke’s possible attitude towards the use of synthetic yeast?A.Interested but scared.B. Confident but careful.C. Hopeless and worried.D. Sorry and disappointed.DAs Sylvie waited for her cow, she put her bare feet in the cold, fresh water ofthe stream. The air was soft and sweet. Sylvie felt as if she were a part of theforest.“Hello, little girl,” a young man called out cheerfully. She looked up into theface of a young man carrying a gun*. “I've been hunting for birds,” he explained,“but I’ve lost my way. Do you think I can spend the night at your house?” Sylvie didn’t answer but her grandmother nearby reached them soon and invited him to stay.After eating, the young man explained he was a scientist, who collected birds and preserved* them. “Sylvie knows a lot about birds, too,” her grandmother said. “She knows the forest so well.

She finally reached a tall pine tree that could be seen for many miles around and climbed to the top. Suddenly Sylvie’s dark gray eyes caught a flash of white that grew larger and larger.Sylvie gave a long sigh. She knew the wild bird’s secret now.
