A
I always hated the first day of school, but what I hated even more was the “idea” of the first day of school.
All summer long, it sat in the back of my mind, preventing my relaxation. At the sight of “Back to School Sale！” advertisements in magazines or on TV, I'd shout “it's not even August yet！”disgustedly. As July gave way to August, my classmates, usually girls, would start chatting about their new clothes. I'd plug (塞住) my ears and go back to my video game, bicycle or book.
Before I knew it, though, I'd be facing the last week of August. At the beginning of that week, my mom would drop a pile of fresh notebooks and pencils outside my bedroom. I'd step over them each morning, pretending they weren't there, until Sunday, my final morning of freedom, when I'd finally stuff them into my backpack.
Meanwhile, I'd try to pack as much fun as possible into my summer's final hours.
But when the first day of school actually came, it was never as bad as I had expected.
First of all, I always had an A on that day; I knew that I was at the top of my class, and all I had to do was work hard to stay there.
At the same time, I knew that I'd been given the chance to make new friends, and amaze new teachers.
I would have denied (否认) it at the time, but secretly I preferred the rigid (刻板的) structure of school days to the unlimited freedom of summer vacation days.
I pretended that all I cared about was hanging out and relaxing, but deep down I was — and still am — a student.
1.The underlined word “disgustedly” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. angrily
B. hopelessly
C. surprisingly
D. disappointedly
答案与解析A词义猜测题。

从上文来看，虽然假期开始了，作者心里却想着开学的事而不能完全放松。

看见杂志或电视上关于开学物品的广告，作者会大喊：现在连八月还不到呢！所以这时作者应该是生气的。

2．Which of the following about the author is TRUE according to the passage?
A. He was worried about going back to school all summer.
B. He spent all his summer time playing video games.
C. He was usually busy preparing notebooks and pencils during the last week of August.
D. He was not interested in hearing girls talk about their new clothing.
答案与解析A细节理解题。

根据第二段的第一句话可以得此答案。

由第二段最后的“go back to my video game, bicycle or book”可以排除B。

第三段里提到，作者的妈妈会给他买好文具，所以C 项不对。

当女生们谈论新学期的衣着时，作者塞住耳朵是因为他不想
去听关于开学的事，所以D项有误。

3．When the school days did come, the author ________.
A. began working hard to satisfy his parents
B. missed his free and relaxing summer vacation days
C. found that actually he also loved school days
D. had fun playing games with new friends
答案与解析C细节理解题。

文章最后四段的主要意思是：开学其实没有作者想象的那么糟糕，实际上，比起假期，作者更喜欢上学。

B
Although 80% of the public have stated their opposition to cloning pet animals such as cats and dogs, companies still try to make a business out of selling cloned pets. These pet cloning companies make use of the grief of people who have lost their beloved pets, leading them to believe that their pets can be “brought back to life” or “copied” through new cloning technology.
However, there is no assurance that a cloned animal will be the same as the original physically, let alone in terms of behavior or personality. In addition, more than 96 percent of cloning attempts fail, and according to the CEO of one pet cloning company, 15 ～45 percent of cloned cats will die within 30 days. The Roslin Institute, which produced the first cloned animal, posted a statement on its website stating, “... the supposed benefit of cloning a pet is an illusion (假象) but the harm to the other animals involved would be real ...”
Behind each cute picture of a cloned cat or dog lie hundreds of animals that were kept in laboratory cages, receiving bad treatment during various experiments. For all that, you end up with a cloned
animal that may experience serious health problems. Also, while pet cloning companies are charging customers up to $150,000 for a cloned pet，millions of homeless animals of the same species are available in animal shelters for around $100. Unfortunately, most of these animals are killed for no one brings them home.
With our No Pet Cloning movement, we seek to protect both animals and people from harm. We worked hard until the only US companies that sold cloned animals closed their doors. Currently，cat and dog cloning experiments for pet sales are only being conducted in South Korea.
语篇解读克隆宠物的坏处远大于好处，作者致力于反对克隆宠物的事业。

4．What's the Roslin Institute's opinion on pet cloning?
A. The Roslin Institute thinks it is harmless.
B. The Roslin Institute thinks it cannot be avoided.
C. The Roslin Institute does not support it.
D. The Roslin Institute refuses to make comments.
答案与解析C推理判断题。

第二段中Roslin Institute官网上的话主要是说克隆宠物的好处都是假的，对动物的伤害却是确实的，由此可知它并不赞同此举。

5．We can learn from the third paragraph that the writer thinks ________.
A. pets from shelters usually have health problems
B. buying cloned pets is a waste of money
C. cloned pets are better than pets from shelters
D. pets from shelters should be used for experiments
答案与解析B推理判断题。

从第三段的“while pet cloning
companies are charging customers up to $150 000 for a cloned pet, millions of homeless animals of the same species are available in animal shelters for around $100.”可知比起领养宠物，作者认为花钱克隆宠物是很贵、很不值得的。

6．The No Pet Cloning movement has succeeded in ________.
A. asking US pet cloning companies to move to South Korea
B. stopping some businessmen earning money by selling cloned pets
C. educating the public on the disadvantages of the cloning technology
D. persuading 80% of the public to protest against pet cloning
答案与解析B细节理解题。

活动的成就列于最后一段中，从“We worked hard until the only US companies that sold cloned animals closed their doors.”可知答案。

7．What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Animal Cloning Technology Is Not Perfect
B. Pet Cloning Is a Profitable Industry
C. Animals Shouldn't Be Used for Experiments
D. Pet Cloning Should Be Stopped
答案与解析D主旨大意题。

文章主要阐述了克隆宠物的缺点，希望杜绝克隆宠物的现象，以D项为标题最合适。

考试做题技巧
会学习,还要会考试
时间分配法：决定考场胜利的重要因素科学分配答题时间,是决定考场能否胜利的重要因素。

有了时间上的合理安排,同学们紧张的心情就可以得到舒缓与放松,考试水平也就能最大限度的得到发挥。

下面,我们为同学们介绍一个应对的好办法时间分配法。

第一,考前分配好时间。

从发试卷到正式开考前有几分钟的阅卷时间拿到试卷并填好卷头以后,要浏览整张试卷,查看试卷的容量、试题的难易程度。

然后,根据题目、题量、分值和难易程度分配做题时间,易题和少分题少用时间,难题和多分题多用时间。

比如数学,按分值分配,选择题大约应安排在50~55分钟左右完成,非选择题大约安排90~95分钟左右完成为宜。

同学们平时做题时,可以先测试自己每一部分题目的做题时间,定
下一个标准,然后考试时根据试卷题目情况,在原来的基础上调整。

看到哪一部分有较难的题目,可适当多匀一点时间。

第二,每个题目有一个时间标准。

如果遇到一道题目,思考了3~5分钟仍然理不清解题的思路时,应视为难题可暂时放弃,等到后面有了思路或答完卷之后再回头来做。

这样一来就不会出现不能控制时间而影响答后面题目
况。

同时,要注意虽然每个题目有一定的时间限制,但也不要每题都看否则会弄得自己很紧张
第三,考试最后的15分钟。

不管还有多少题目没有完成,考试的最后15分钟一定要先将答题卡涂好,避免答题无效。

答题六注意：规范答题不丢分
提高考分的另一个有效方法是减少或避免不规范答题等非智力因素造成的失分,具体来说考场答题要注意以下六
点：
第一,考前做好准备工作。

做题前要做好准备工作,包括认真检查答题卡页数和条形码上的姓名、考号与本人的姓名、准考证上的号是否相符等。

此外,还要准确填写答题卡的相关信息,正确粘贴条形码,注意不能超出框外。

第二,使用规定的笔作答。

答选择题时,考生必须用2B型铅笔在答题卡上的“选择题答题区”内将对应题目的选项字母点涂黑
第三,答题不要超出规定范围。

考生必须在答题卡各题目规定的答题区域内作答(包括画表及作辅助线)。

在各题目指定答题区域外的地方,或超越试卷上标出的边界作答,或者自己编题号,其答案都是无效的。

第四,若题中有图,答题前应规划好“布局”,合理安排空间。

例如几何题,图形多在左边。

这种情况下建议大家从图下方开始写起,书写规范字迹清晰,避免“箭头”“地图”等出现。

第五,答题卡千万别折叠。

考生答题时,要注意保持答题卡的清洁,不能折叠、弄皱和损坏答题卡,以免影响计算机扫描
第六,书写要整洁。

有的学生的答案“布局”很乱,还用箭头标注下一句的位置,加上字迹潦草、卷面不整洁等情况,阅卷老师很难辨认,甚至对考生的学习态度、学习习惯和知识基础产生怀疑,由此分数也将大受影响。
