A
On a rainy night three years ago my dear mom went to accompany her Lord. She did it herway.
I got the call at work, and l headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm thatthey had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for ayoung girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, ifthe weather allowed reception.
My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land. The place was rural,with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heatthe little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.
In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang themelody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was “Moon River” and we sang it over andover. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl I could sing before I could talk.
As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit them every week or two. The kidsloved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm.While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retellall the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle of my life at home. But I sat there listeningquietly as she reminisced.
Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deathly so I finally leaned over to turn onan old radio. Music always comforted me. My heart skipped a beat. “Moon River” was playingon the radio. I sat there wordless, with a tear running down my cheek; as I listened to everyfamiliar note.

It has recently been announced that the British royal family is to slim. The queen plans to reduce the number of real royals. However, there seems little sign of the monarchy（君主）disappearing completely.
Up till the 17th century, the British king or queen was believed to role by “divine right”,which was the idea that God chose the king or queen to role and that he or she was thereforeabove the law. However, this idea ended with the English Revolution, in which King Charles thefirst was imprisoned and then killed in 1649.
So what role does the British royal family have today?
Well, the Queen has important formal duties: as Head of State, the Queen represents the UKon visits abroad and invites other world leaders to visit the UK. As Head of the Armed Forces,only the Queen can declare when the UK is at war or when war is over. The Queen also hasconstitutional duties: She has to sign many government and Commonwealth documents everyday.
In addition, the royal family spends a great deal of its time traveling up and down thecountry in support of different Charity projects. But the public in Britain do not believe thereshould be a royal family. Sometimes, the press and media criticize the royal family as well. One criticism is that British people should not have to pay for the royal family through their taxes.
Today, the royal family works hard to be relevant in the modern world. The queen’s speechon TV is less formal every Christmas, and is now available as a podcast(播客). In 2005, aftergraduation from university, Prince William spent time teaching English in Uruguay, the sort ofwork many young British people do at some time in their lives.
25. What can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?
A. The British king or queen is no longer believed to role by divine right.
B. The British king or queen is about to become common people.
C. The English Revolution put an end to the British royal family in 1649.
D. The royal family’s role was most important in Britain in the 17th century.
26. Which of the following is NOT among formal duties of the Queen?
A. Declaring when the UK is at war.
B. Travelling around the world for charity projects,
C. Inviting other world leaders to visit the UK.
D. Signing commonwealth documents every day.
27. Prince William is mentionedin the passage to show that ________.
A. he is popular in the UK
B. many young British people do voluntary work
C. he has tried to win young people’s admiration
D. the royal family is trying to change their image
28. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. British people are all in favor of the royal family
B. the British royal family are facing surviving challenges
C. the public are encouraged to oppose the royal family
D. British youths are required to teach English in Uruguay in their live

It seems that nowadays all the world are concerned about genetically modified foods （GM foods）. GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms, which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques aremuch more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a
non-specific but stablechange. For many people, the high-tech production raises all kinds of environmental, ethical(伦理的),health and safety problems. Particularly in countries with long farming traditions, the idea seemsagainst nature.
In fact, GM foods are already very much a part of our lives. They were first put on themarket in 1996. A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the US last year wasthe product of biotechnology, according to the Department of Agriculture. More than 65 millionacres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year. The genetic genie is outof the bottle.
However, like any new product entering the food chain, GM foods must be subjected tocareful testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact thatthey have a large number of foods to choose from, and a supply that goes beyond the needs. Indeveloping countries desperate to feed fast-growing and underfed populations, the matter issimpler and much more urgent: do the benefits ofbiotech outweigh the risks?
The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world’spopulation reached 6 bill ion. The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the world areunhealthy. About 400 million
women of childbearing age don’t have enough iron, which meanstheir babies are exposed to various birth defects（缺陷）. As many as 100 million children suffer fromvitamin A deficiency（缺乏）, a leading cause of blindness.
How can biotech help? Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animalswith better nutritional values. Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice andthey are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops. Biotech can also improvefarming productivity in places where food shortage is caused by crop damage caused bydrought, poor soil and crop viruses.
32. The passage mainly talks about _______.
A. the world’s f ood problem
B. the development in biotech
C. the genetically modified foods
D. the way to solve food shortage
33. According to the passage, GM foods ________.
A. will replace naturally grown foods
B. are far better than naturally grown foods
C. may help to solve the problem of poor nutrition
D. can cause serious trouble in developing countries
34. The underlined sentence “The genetic genie is out of the bottle.”
in paragraph 2 probablymeans that _______.A. GM foods are available everywhere
B. the technology in producing GM foods is advanced
C. genetic technology may have uncontrollable powers
D. genetic technology has come out of laboratories into markets
35. What’s the writer’s attitude towards GM foods?
A. Optimistic.
B. Objective.
C. Disapproving.
D. Indifferent.

To change your habits successfully, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits.

I need cigarette to be happy and eased.” If you keep this belief, you won’t be able to keep your resolution 63 （stop） smoking for very long. Instead, you should adopt this new belief: “I love yoga
because it can make me strong and energetic while cigarette is poisonous 64 destroys my body.” You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won’t stop you from changing your habits. 65 same is true when you try to form positive habits.

Boys and girls, attention please! As we know, cell phones, computers and other electronics are common in our daily life. They have brought us much convenience. However, some studentsspend too much time on them, which, in turn does great harm to their health especially to their eyes.
In my personal view, the major task for students is to lea rn knowledge with various approaches, for which healthy body and mind is the base. Therefore, theyshould focus more attention ontheir lessons and be less dependent on electronics. They should also make the best oftheir spare time to take sports, such as soccer, basketball, running and so on. Taking part in some rewardingactivities like being volunteers to help the old is another good choice. Besides,such interaction as talking or chatting with friends and classmates can reduce the dependence on the electronics psychologically.
Thanks for listening!
