Passage 1One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve(勇气) when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept payment for a kindness.”He said, “Then I thank you from my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, it also increased his faith in God and the feeling there could be still touch of the divine(神的) love in the world.Many years later, that same young woman became critically (危重地)ill. The local doctors were baffled(困惑). They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation(会诊). When he heard the name of thetown she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.Dresse d in his doctor’s gown, he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined(决定)to do his best to save her life. From that day, he gave special attention to the case.After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval(批准). He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge, and the bill was sent to her room.The woman feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words: “Paid in full with one glass of milk.”题目1:Why did the boy decide to ask for a meal at the next house?A. He was short of money and hungry.B. The next house seemed friendly.C. He was tired of selling goods.D. He thought the young woman was kind-hearted.答案1:A. 他的钱不够了,而且他饿了。

I usually kept to myself, had only a few friends, and rarely spoke in class. My parents were always very busy, so they never pushed me to become more involved in activities and meet more people. I was perfectly happy by myself. I spent much of my time with my nose buried in a book. The only times that I ventured away from the comforts of my bedroom were when I explored the seemingly endless aisles of stocked bookshelves at my favourite bookstore.In retrospect, it was no surprise that I read with such an incredible appetite. Reading was my escape. My favourite books were adventure and travel stories—stories that brought the readers to exotic, unexplored, or dangerous places. These were places I longed to go, and they were adventures I yearnedto experience, but I knew it was all just a fantasy. I had a hard time working up the nerve to talk to a fellow classmate, I knew there was no way I could travel around the world and live out one of these adventures. Therefore, I read. I read every book I could find that promised adventure, excitement, or escape. By the time I graduated from high school, I had probably read more books than our school had in its library. It was quite an achievement, but no one knew about it except for me. I told no one because I had no one to tell. My only friend was Justin, and that relationship only existed because we had been next-door neighbours for fifteen years.Like most of my classmates, I applied to college and eventually worked up the courage to go. It wasn't easy. I had lived at home with my parents my whole life, and I rarely ever thought about leaving. However, it had finally become inevitable; I couldn't stay with them forever. I attended a local college and moved out to live in a dormitory with a roommate. It would be an understatement to say that I was nervous. I was terrified.My roommate's name was Greg, and the first few weeks of school were very awkward. He kept trying to start conversations and be friendly. I was able to answer his questions, of course, but I found it difficult to keep the conversation going. I just wasn't used to it—I had no practice at this sort of thing. Then one day I returned from an afternoon class and found him reading a Jack London book. Suddenly, I found that I had a hundred questions to ask Greg. Did he like Jack London? Which was his favourite book? Did he read a lot? What other authors did he like? The list was endless.To my surprise, Greg was also in love with adventure and travel books. One of his dreams was to travel around the world and follow in the footsteps of some of history's greatest explorers. There must have been magic at work that day. It was as if my shyness suddenly disappeared. Greg and I talked for hours about our favourite books and dreams of travel. I also found it easier to talk to other people atschool and make friends since that day. I felt like the world opened up to me. So many things suddenly seemed possible. In fact, Greg and I are planning a great adventure for this summer! It may have taken mea while, but I finally found a way to break out of my shell and start enjoying life.41. Which of the following is a rite of passage that helped the writer to become less shy?A. Attending high school.B. Reading many books.C. Attending college.D. Planning a great adventure.42. In which paragraph does the author compare his desire to read to hunger?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 4.D. Paragraph 5.43. Which of the following would make the best title for this passage?A. A Painfully Shy ChildB. My College LifeC. Travels with GregD. Breaking Out of My Shell44.

He was as nervous as usual.D. He was extraordinarily nervous.45. Which of the following statements can you infer from the passage?A. Jack London wrote exciting stories.B.

Make-believe games like this were my favourite, and Iremember that many summer days were (32)largelyspent outside, playing SuperSecret Spy.Every time we played, the story had to be different.

When we're adults, we long for the carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of life. Indeed, "the grass is always greener on the other side." It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have. It's our nature.That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We repeatedly tell them, "You can do/have that when you're older." We continually encourage them, "When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true." It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination, create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to question why everything is as it is. These traits are all developed and nurtured when we're children and, without them, we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world.Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to actlike children. This may seem obvious, but it's often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder, practice longer, and essentially act like adults. It's important to remember that children are constantly learning. Therefore, they are also learning as they're playing. Exploring nature fosters a respect for the environment that may lead children to become biologists or naturalists. Creating with paint and crayons instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians. Playing make-believe stimulates the imagination in a way that writers, filmmakers, and actors find most useful. Building with blocks helps the mind understand how things are constructed and might lead to an interest in engineering.It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life.

I usually kept to myself, had only a few friends, and rarely spoke in class. My parents were always very busy, so they never pushed me to become more involved in activities and meet more people. I was perfectly happy by myself. I spent much of my time with my nose buried in a book. The only times that I ventured away from the comforts of my bedroom were when I explored the seemingly endless aisles of stocked bookshelves at my favourite bookstore.In retrospect, it was no surprise that I read with such an incredible appetite. Reading was my escape. My favourite books were adventure and travel stories—stories that brought the readers to exotic, unexplored, or dangerous places. These were places I longed to go, and they were adventures I yearned to experience, but I knew it was all just a fantasy. I had a hard time working up the nerve to talk to a fellow classmate, I knew there was no way I could travel around the world and live out one of these adventures. Therefore, I read. I read every book I could find that promised adventure, excitement, or escape. By the time I graduated from high school, I had probably read more books than our school had in its library. It was quite an achievement, but no one knew about it except for me.I told no one because I had no one to tell. My only friend was Justin, and that relationship only existed because we had been next-door neighbours for fifteen years.Like most of my classmates, I applied to college and eventually worked up the courage to go. It wasn't easy. I had lived at home with my parents my whole life, and I rarely ever thought about leaving. However, it had finally become inevitable; I couldn't stay with them forever. I attended a local college and moved out to live in a dormitory with a roommate. It would be an understatement to say that I was nervous. I was terrified.My roommate's name was Greg, and the first few weeks of school were very awkward. He kept trying to start conversations and be friendly. I was able to answer his questions, of course, but I found it difficult to keep the conversation going. I just wasn't used to it—I had no practice at this sort of thing. Then one day I returned from an afternoon class and found him reading a Jack Londonbook. Suddenly, I found that I had a hundred questions to ask Greg. Did he like Jack London? Which was his favourite book? Did he read a lot? What other authors did he like? The list was endless.To my surprise, Greg was also in love with adventure and travel books. One of his dreams wasto travel around the world and follow in the footsteps of some of history's greatest explorers. There must have been magic at work that day. It was as if my shyness suddenly disappeared. Greg and I talkedfor hours about our favourite books and dreams of travel. I also found it easier to talk to other people at school and make friends since that day. I felt like the world opened up to me. So many things suddenly seemed possible. In fact, Greg and I are planning a great adventure for this summer!It may have taken me a while, but I finally found a way to break out of my shell and start enjoying life.41. Which of the following is a rite of passage that helped the writer to become less shy?A. Attending high school.B. Reading many books.C. Attending college.D. Planning a great adventure.42. In which paragraph does the author compare his desire to read to hunger?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 4.D. Paragraph 5.43. Which of the following would make the best title for this passage?A. A Painfully Shy ChildB. My College LifeC. Travels with GregD. Breaking Out of My Shell44. "It would be an understatement to say that I was nervous. I was terrified." What does thewriter mean by this statement?A. He wasn't nervous at all.B. He was mildly nervous.C. He was as nervous as usual.D. He was extraordinarily nervous.45. Which of the following statements can you infer from the passage?A. Jack London wrote exciting stories.B. Jack London wrote dull stories.C. Jack London wasn't a famous writer.D. Jack London was the writer's favourite writer.。

When m y grandfather thinks about how the world is changing, he inevitably tells the storyof Dr Reynolds.Dr Reynolds was a(n)(31)eminentdoctor from the big city.Itseemed as if he was in the newspaper every day.My grandfather lived in asmall(32)suburboutside the city.This was at a time when s uch neighbourhoodswere still relatively new.People just couldn't understand why anyone would want to live sofar from the city centre.However,the neighbourhood my grandfather lived in was growing every day.Many people couldn't afford to live in the city,and others were tired of the crowds.Cost and congestioncomprised a real(33)curseof the cities,a problem that has only gottenworse with rge sections of the urban(34)workforce were moving out ofthe city to the smaller towns.Along with these people and their families,companies also started to relocate outside major cities.A great example of this was Dr Reynolds. It is impossible to overstate the(35)magnitudeof the significance thatDr Reynolds'move had on my grandfather's town.Because he was so famous,there was obviouslya considerable amount of(36)hypeassociated with his arrival.However,hequickly showed that he had the skills to back up his reputation.Dr Reynolds was not only abig,(37)brawnyman who played football in his youth,but he also graduated at the top of his class in medical school.I'd be willing to(38)betthat this was one of the most exciting things happened in my grandfather's town.It must have been since he told the story so many times!Dr Reynolds'arrival(39)fundamentallychanged the dynamics of the town.It was nolonger"far away"from the city;it suddenly became"just outside"the city limits.Today,the world is changing much faster than can be measured by the arrival of a big-city doctor in asmall town.Who k nows,maybe(40)somedayI'll have my own story to tell my owngrandchildren!Your answer Correct answer(31)eminent eminent(32)suburb suburb(33)curse curse(34)workforce workforce(35)magnitude magnitude(36)hype hype(37)brawny brawny(38)bet bet(39)fundamentally fundamentally(40)someday somedayPart III:Reading ComprehensionQuestions41to45are based on the following passage. Sometimes it seems we hear about the wonders of modern technology on a daily basis.I will admit that it's hard to argue with the puters,automobiles,the Internet,and increasingly smaller handheld devices certainly do make our lives more convenient.Everything, it seems,is gettingfaster,lighter,cheaper,and smaller.Pretty soon, computers will be the size of iPods and iPodswill be the size of fingernails.Technology is making our lives more convenient,to be sure. But is it making our lives betterHow d ependent on these conveniences should we become How d ependent have we already become Instant communication,video telephones,robots,thousands of songs in the palm of your hand—all of these things are now available at your local shopping centre.Indeed,what was once considered sciencefiction now seems downright plausible.I can realistically envision a world where literallyeverything we do depends on a computer or a machine and, frankly,it scares me.Consider the following scenario.Michael begins his day by waking up to an electric alarm clock.He gets dressed and pours himself a cup of coffee from a machine that is set to brew automaticallyevery morning.He walks to the corner and boards a subway train for his commute to work.The trainis controlled by a computer that knows how fast to go and when to slow down and stop.Michael entershis office building through doors that"see"he is coming and open for him.At work,Michael sitsin front of a computer all day to do his job.He writes e-mails,updates a Website,attends a videoconference online,and makes telephone calls.At night, he relaxes in front of the television(which has recordedall of his favourite shows),or he reads an e-book on his smart phone.How much ofMichael's day is not dependent on computers or machines How much of this scenario is unbelievable The answer:none of it.It is a daily reality for many people.Look around you.Do you use a computer to send e-mails, write reports,do homework,or searchthe Internet What happens when that computer gets a virus or breaks down Most people just sit there,baffled.They simply don't know what to do because they don't know how the computer works.We d epend on computers to make our lives easier,and we depend on computer technicians to keep our computersoperational.The same can be said for nearly any technology. That's why engineers,computerprofessionals,and technology consultants make such remarkable salaries.The more we rely on technology,the more we rely on specialists.The more we rely on specialists,the less responsible we feel to actually know how to do something.This is a slippery slope thatwill eventually lead most people to complete ignorance ofhow things work.It is ironic,then,that the very technologies that are currently touted as the greatest advancements in human knowledge could ultimately have the exact opposite effect.41.The writer of this passage would probably agree with which of the following statementsA.Technology is beginning to control our lives.puters play a marginal role in our society.C.We rely on computer specialists because they are convenient.D.Technology is slowly becoming more expensive.42.The writer's scenario with Michael is presented in order to_____.A.describe an innovationB.substantiate his argumentC.illustrate an example from a bygone time.D.brag about personal accomplishments43.Which paragraph draws a personal analogy to the readerA.Paragraph2.B.Paragraph3.C.Paragraph4.D.Paragraph5.44.Which of the following is the best one-sentence summary of this passageA.Technology makes our lives more convenient.B.Science fiction is becoming a daily reality.C.Everybody uses computers and other technologies.D.The more we rely on technology,the more helpless we become.45.Which of the following events does not support the writer's main ideaA.Marcus plays the latest video game after school.B.Lisa reads a book before going to bed each night.C.Carol uses a GPS system to find her way in a new city.D.Tony blogs and sends e-mails from his mobile phone.。

Hockey is one of the few teamsports where fighting is literally part of the game. Indeed, the will often watch the players to make sure they fight "fair."During an ice hockey match last year, one of the players hit the puck very hard and sent itall the way to the other team's net. I was too busy watching the puck flythrough the air to see what happened next, but I sure heard the of thecrowd! I looked back to the player who hit the puck, who was now punchinganother player! He even threw his face mask so he could see the other player better.Apparently, the two players ran into each other but one of them theninto the wall. It seemed like a very accident, butthese two players were fighting very seriously! Both players' continued toplay and stayed away from the fight. They didn't also want to get a penalty.How easy it must be to the anger of an ice hockey player!Your answer Correct answer(31) referee referee(32) soaring soaring(33) roar roar(34) madly madly(35) aloft aloft(36) accidentally accidentally(37) Collided Collided(38) random random(39) teammates teammates(40) incur incurPart III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.In this age of increased academic pressure and decreased institutional budgets, do high-profile,big-budget college athletics programs still make sense? In order to make an informed decision, you must weigh the advantages and disadvantages. In other words, what are the positive things that college sports offer and what are the associated negative things?First of all, college athletics offer excellent public relations with the college community, increase the college's national and international exposure, and provide wonderful fundraising opportunities. At the same time, sports programs provide education and training to potential future professional athletes—many ofwhom might not have received a quality education without the benefit of a sports scholarship.For a long time, college athletes attended school on a full or partial sports scholarship. This meant that things like tuition, room, and board were paid by the college in return for that student agree ing to attend the school and play on its team. However, in recent years, it has become common for these students to receive additional pay. This has become considerably controversial since many people view this as an unfair situation where certain students, because of their athletic ability, receive benefits that other students do not.Does financial compensation compromise academic and institutional integrity? I don't think so. For one thing, without these college athletes, the schools would not enjoy a majority of the revenue they receive from athletic departments. Student athletes are entitled to some form of compensation, and, since the demands of the sport often occupy most of their time, they are unable to keep other jobs. In addition, if college athl etes are paid, it might stop many of them from going pro before they graduate. It would encourage students to complete their education before joining a professional team.What are the opposing arguments? Many people claim that schools with wealthy and successful sports departments devalue the academic environment in favor of athletic competition. The claim has also been made that certain sports, by sheer nature of their popularity, receive less attention and money and, therefore, the athletes are also treated less well. Unfortunately, this is also true with most female sports teams. However, it seems to me that, in most cases, these negatives are not a result of college athletics alone. Institutional commitment to all teams—popular and unpopular, male and female—would considerably help this situation.The ultimate question is whether colleges and universities should be the training grounds for future professional sports careers. College should be the place where young people go to learn about the world, develop their skills, and discover their passion. Why shouldn't this also be true for sports?41. The author of this passage is _______.A. telling a storyB. describing a processC. making an argumentD. persuading the reader42. With which of the following statements would the author likely NOT agree?A. College athletes make a lot of money for their schools.B. Colleges currently give equal attention and money to all sports teams.C. Women's basketball teams receive less money than men's basketball teams.D. College should be a place for all students to develop professional skills.43. Which paragraph presents the disadvantages of college athletics?A. Paragraph 2.B. Paragraph 3.C. Paragraph 4.D. Paragraph 5.44. The author is _______ college sports and paying student athletes.A. againstB. undecided onC. for and against different aspects ofD. in favor of45. Which of the following would make the LEAST appropriate title?A. College: No Professionals Allowed.B. College Athletics: Pros and Cons.C. College Athletes: Are They Worth the Money?D.

Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage.The crop circles you will see as part of the Crop Circle Connector web site are actual events that have taken place in crop fields worldwide. This web site is literally the largest crop circle site on the Internet. On this site you will find information to cater for all your needs including an international crop circle database.In the UK farmers recall simple circles appearing on their land for generations. The British media first reported on the circles in the early 1980s. By 1990 crop circles had exploded into the public mind as the new phenomenon changed from simple circular patterns into huge and complex, geometric formations. The crop circles are a worldwide phenomenon and each year new reports come from an ever increasing number of countries. However, the main concentration of events are to be found in Southern England, many around ancient sites such as Stonehenge, Avebury and Silbury Hill.Although there are many theories as to their creation, none have been able to explain satisfactorily exactly how the circles are made. But, perhaps some of the most persuasive evidence comes in the form of videotaped footage showing small bright balls of white light in and around the crop circles. Many of these lights have been filmed in broad daylight and the objects seem to move with purpose and intelligence. Could this hint at a possible link between them and the formation of crop circles?Scientific analysis has been carried out on plant samples taken from the crop circles. The work done suggests that some sort of microwave energy effect is involved in the circle making process. Crop circle researchers are increasingly being asked to use creative and innovative thought as part of their investigative process. Some current field research uses meditation, lights and musical sounds in an effort to communicate new patterns into the fields as the circles phenomenon has been seen to interact with the human mind.Whatever the crop circles are, they have perplexed and inspired people worldwide. For those involved it has changed their lives forever, with the growing realization that we live in a world that is infinitely more complex and mysterious than we could have imagined.This web site is dedicated to bringing you the very latest and most comprehensive crop circle news and information. We incorporate reports on all the new formations with top quality photographs from some of the foremost researchers and photographers.1.When were the crop circles first reported?A. In the early 1980s.B. In the 1990s.C. During the recent years.D. Many hundred years ago.2.The author's purpose in writing this essay is to________________.A. tell readers that we live in a complex and mysterious worldB. show how mysterious the crop circles areC. persuade people to pay a visit to EnglandD. introduce this web site to people3.Researchers use many creative methods to communicatenew patterns of circles except ________________.A. meditationB. lightsC. musical soundsD. calculation4.According to the passage, which of the following statements isNOT true?A.

Scientists get satisfactory explanations about how thecircles are made.5.The author's attitude towards the crop circles is________________.A. subjectiveB. objectiveC. indifferentD. worriedQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage.Japan's famed cherry trees have carried the hearts of a nation for centuries but they will soon enjoy another honor—their seeds being launched into outer space.The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has approved a project to send the seeds of cherry trees to the Japanese laboratory at the International Space Station, officials said Tuesday.Japan Manned Space Systems Corp., a Tokyo-basedprivate-sector consortium of 55 companies, organized the cherry seeds' half-a-year stay in space in part to see whether or how microgravity would affect them."Scientific observation is one reason. But we also want the seeds to travel in space on our behalf as few ordinary people can go now," Manned Space Systems spokeswoman Yuko Otake said.Cherry trees' annual springtime blooming is a time for nationwide enjoyment in Japan, where friends and colleagues hold picnics to enjoy the short-lived beauty of the blossoms.The space project will send lily and violet seeds along with the seeds from 10 cherry trees, including three designated by the government as natural treasures and praised as producing Japan's most beautiful blossoms.One of the three ancient trees, named Takizakura, or "cascade cherry blossoms," draws 300,000 viewers for the three weeks it isin bloom in the small northern town of Miharu.Elementary school pupils in Miharu will pick some 200 fallen seeds in June or July for the space project. The town will share the returned seeds with research institutions."Since the seeds will be returned with a certificate that they have gone to space, we hope to use them to promote tourism here while drawing children's interest in science," town official Sadafumi Hirata said.The town will also plant some seeds, he said. "We are very proud that our tree was selected among many cherry blossoms that represent Japan," he said.The seeds will be lifted off into space around October and are expected to return to Earth early next year.Japan has an increasingly ambitious space program and last month began to set up its first space laboratory, which was launched on the US space shuttle Endeavour.6.Why have Japanese sent the seeds of cherry trees to outerspace?A. Because they love cherry trees very much.B. Because they want to see whether cherry tress can bloomin space.C. Because they want to see whether or how microgravitywould affect cherry trees.D. Because they want to produce more beautiful cherryblossoms.7.Who organized the space project?A. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.B. A private corporation.C. The Japanese Government.D. The official of Hirata.8.What will be sent into space with the seeds of cherry trees?A. The seeds of lily and lotus.B. The seeds of lily and violet.C. The seeds of violet and rose.D. The seeds of violet and plum.9.Who will pick fallen cherry seeds in Miharu?A. The elementary school students.B. The tourists in Miharu.C. The citizens of Miharu.D. Some experts from research institutions.10.The attitude the official Sadafumi Hirata holds towards thespace project is ________________.A. indifferentB. disbelievingC. pleasedD. criticalQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage.South Korean scientists say they have engineered four beagles (比格犬) that glow red using cloning techniques that could help develop cures for human diseases.The four dogs, all named "Ruppy"—a combination of the words "ruby" and "puppy"—look like typical beagles by daylight. But they glow red under ultraviolet light.Seoul National University professor Lee Byeong-chun, head of the research team, called them the world's first transgenic dogs carrying fluorescent genes, an achievement that goes beyond just the glowing creation."What's significant in this work is not the dogs expressing red colors but that we planted genes into them," Lee told the reporters on Tuesday.His team identified the dogs as clones of a cell donor through DNA tests and earlier this month introduced the achievement in a paper on the website of a journal.Scientists in the US, Japan and in Europe previously have cloned fluorescent mice and pigs, but this would be the first time dogs with modified genes have been cloned successfully, Lee said.He said his team took skin cells from a beagle, inserted fluorescent genes into them and put them into eggs before implanting them into the body of a local mixed breed.Six female beagles were born in December 2007 through a cloning with a gene that produces a red fluorescent protein that made them glow, he said. Two died, but the four others survived.The glowing dogs show that it is possible to successfully insert genes with a specific trait, which could lead to implanting other, non-fluorescent genes that could help treat specific diseases, Lee said.The scientist said his team has started to implant humandisease-related genes in dog cloning, saying that will help them find new treatments for genetic diseases such as Parkinson's.A South Korean scientist who created glowing cats in 2007 based on a similar cloning technique said that Lee's puppies are genuine clones, saying he had seen them and had read about them."We can say this is a step forward toward finding cures for human diseases", said the scientist. "What is important now is on what specific diseases Lee's team will focus on."11.The significance of this research is that ________________.A. it shows us the dog can grow redB. it will help us find new treatments for human diseasesC. it shows that South Korean scientists have mastered highcloning techniquesD. it proves that scientists can find the cures for all diseases12.When do the four beagles glow red?A. During the whole day.B. At night.C. Under ultraviolet light.D. Under any condition.13.All of the following animals have been successfully clonedexcept ________________.A. fluorescent miceB. fluorescent pigsC. fluorescent catsD. fluorescent dogs with modified genes14.The four beagles glow red because ________________.A. they were born with red skinB. fluorescent genes were inserted into themC. the dogs carry modified genesD. their mother can glow red15.The scientists' attitude toward the cloning technique can bedescribed as ________________.A. disappointingB. suspiciousC. optimisticD. pessimisticQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage.Robots could fill the jobs of 3.5 million people in Japan by 2025, a think-tank says, helping to alleviate worker shortages as the country's population shrinks.Japan faces a 16 per cent drop in the size of its workforce by 2030 while the number of elderly will mushroom, the government estimates, raising worries about who will do the work in a country unused to, and unwilling to think seriously about large-scale immigration.The think-tank, the Machine Industry Memorial Foundation, says robots could help fill the gaps, ranging from micronized capsules that detect problems to high-tech vacuum cleaners. Rather than each robot replacing one person, the foundation said in a report that robots could make time for people to focus on more important things.Japan could save 2.1 trillion yen (10.4 billion pounds) of elderly insurance payments in 2025 by using robots that monitor the health of older people, so they do not have to rely on human nursing care, the foundation said in its report. Caregivers would save more than an hour a day if robots helped look after children, older people and did some housework. Robotic duties could include reading books out loud or helping bathe the elderly."Seniors are pushing back their retirement until they are 65 years old, day care centers are being built so that more women can work during the day, and there is a move to increase the quota of foreign laborers. But none of these can beat the shrinking workforce," said Takao Kobayashi, who worked on the study. "Robots are important because they could help in some ways to relieve such shortage of the labor force."The current fertility rate is 1.3 babies per woman, far below the level needed to maintain the population, while the government estimates that 40 percent of the population will be over 65 by 2055, raising concerns about who will look after the graying population.Kobayashi said changes were still needed for robots to make a big impact on the workforce. "There's the expensive price tag, the functions of the robots still need to improve, and then there are themindsets of people," he said. "People need to have the will to use the robots."16.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Robots will play a very important role in society.B. Robots can relieve shortage of the labor force.C. Robots will change people's life style.D. Robots can save time for people.17.Which of the following best describes what robots could do inthe future?A. They could be high-tech vacuum cleaners.B. They could take care of children and older people.C. They could monitor the health of older people.D. They could do various things to make time for people.18.It can be inferred from the fifth paragraph that________________.A. delaying seniors' retirement can solve the problem ofworker shortageB. women will get better job in big companyC. foreign laborers can beat the shrinking workforceD. using the robots is the best way to alleviate workershortage19.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Japan faces the problem of workforce shrinkage.B. The number of older people will increase rapidly.C. Using robots can save money and time for people.D. Half of the population will be over 65 in 2055.20.Among the things we should do, which is NOT implied in thelast paragraph?A. Lower robots' price.B. Improve robots' functions.C. Produce more robots.D. Change our ways of thinking about robots.不用感谢我,我不叫雷锋.。
