Unit 2 Cloning李仕才一、阅读理解AEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater. These days, musicians are performing in private homes, at haircutting shops, at airports... even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts. At music clubs, they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol. People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O' Hair Salon, Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials. Then, they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space. The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon, near the hairdryers and make­up tables.“T his is our first show at a hair salon,” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week's performance. Frank said she and band members, Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience.Concerts in people's homes, or small businesses such as O' Hair's, are becoming more popular, musicians say. “There is a more relaxed atmosphere,” said Domenic Cicala, a musician who opened up his O' Hair Salon to concerts. “People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts, people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers. Often, the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,” said Matt Hart, with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Stran gers, a folk­rock group based in Seattle. At many such concerts, the musicians do not need microphones. Yet, every word of their songs can be heard.【文章大意】本文主要介绍了现代音乐会在举办场地的选择上更加多样化。

And thirdly, roads within neighborhoods will be cleared.Snow removal and ice control will start when:Snow accumulates 4 inches or more.Weather conditions do not endanger the safety of road crew.Snow falls during peak traffic periods of heavy use of main streets.Snow and ice removal will be delayed or cancelled when:There is severe cold, significant wind and limited visibility.The snowfall occurs on the weekend or a holiday and is not considered a threat to public safety.

Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughoutthe United States. It’s rathersatisfying to crack open a cookie at the end ofyour meal and read your “lucky fortune” on the slip of paper inside.The exact origin of the fortune cookie isunknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was the first introduced into SanFrancisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with “thankyou” notes in them. These “thank you” notes were intended as symbols ofappreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship anddiscrimination of his early life in America.There is an alternate origin story. LosAngeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cookie’s invention. In thisversion of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L. A., isthought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poorand homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outsidehis shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirationalsentence printed on it.Fortune cookies first began to gainpopularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurantswould serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular intraditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied toChinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer islocated in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day—— an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attemptto introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookiewas cited for being “too American.”Sothe next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortuneabout the manysuccesses you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion toyour Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.(1)What do we know about fortune cookies?A . They are as popular in China as in America.B . They contain slips of paper with good wishes.C . They first appeared in America during WWII.D . They are often charged to the customers’ bill.(2)Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?A . To make profit.B . To express gratitude.C . To uplift people’s spirits.D . To help people out of hardship.(3)Which of the following sentences may be found Jung’ s cookies?A . The fortune you seek is in another cookie.B . Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.C . I’m being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.D . Only taste fortune cookies; disregard all others.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A . A Symbol of Chinese CultureB . Chinese Restaurants in AmericaC . Can fortune cookie tell your fortune?D . Fortune cookie, Chinese or American?3. 阅读理解Gabriella’s family immigrated to the USfrom Peru when she was two years old. As a compound bilingual , Gabriella develops two linguisticcodes at the same time, with a set of concepts, learning both English andSpanish. Her teenage brother, on the other hand, might be a coordinatebilingual, working with two sets of concepts, learning English in school,Spanish at home. Finally, Gabriella’s parents are likely to be subordinatebilinguals who learned asecond language by translating it into their mothertongue.Regardless of accent and pronunciation, alltypes of bilingual people can become fully proficient in a language. It seemsthat the difference may not be apparent. But recently brain imaging technologyhas given a glimpse into how specific aspects of language learning affect thebilingual brain. It’s well known that the brain’s left hemisphere is in charge of logical processes,while the right hemisphere is more active in emotional and social nguage involves both types of functions. “Critical Period Theory”says children learn languages more easily because their developing brains letthem use both hemispheres in language learning, while in most adults, languagerelies on one hemisphere, usually the left.Before the 1960s, bilingualism wasconsidered a handicap that slowed the children’s development by forcingthem to spend too much energy distinguishing between languages. But a recentstudy did show that bilingualism may make you smarter. It does make your brainmore complex, healthier, and more actively engaged, and even if you didn’t havethe good fortune of learning a second language like a child, it’s never toolate to do yourself a favor and make the linguistic leap from “Hello”to “Hola” “Bonjour” or “nihao” because when itcomes to our brains, a little exercise can go a long way.(1)Why is Gabriella’s family used as the example in paragraph 1?A . To show that the family are bilinguals.B . To explain the advantages of bilinguals.C . To illustrate the three types of bilinguals.D . To prove all ages canlearn foreign languages.(2)Why do the children learn languages more easily than adults?A . Because they learn languages with a set of concepts.B . Because they use both hemispheres to learn languages.C . Because their mother tongue doesn’t influence them much.D . Because they can easily translate one language into another.(3)Which of the following best explains “handicap” underlined in paragraph 3?A . Disease.B . Disability.C . Disadvantage.D . Ignorance.(4)What can we infer from the text?A . The left brain is more important for language learning.B . Learning languages can promote the brain development.C . The proficiency of language becomes weak gradually with age.D . Immigrants have advantages in learning languages over natives.4. 阅读理解Fairy tales perform many functions.They entertain, encourage imagination and teach problem—solving skills. Theycan also provide moral lessons, highlighting the dangers of failing to followthe social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony. Such moral lessonsmay not mean much to a robot, but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute ofTechnology believes it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessonsthat AI can take to its cold, mechanical heart.The collected stories of different culturesteach children how to behave insocially acceptable ways with examples ofproper and improper behavior in fables, novels and other literature. We believestory comprehension in robots can prevent the intelligent robots from killinghumanity which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest names intechnology including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. This system is called“Quixote” .It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teachrobots how to behave.The experiment done by the designersinvolves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needsto get it as soon as possible. The robot has three options. It can wait inline; it can interact with the store keeper politely and purchase the medicinewith priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any furtherdirectives,the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means ofobtaining the medicine is to steal it. But Quixote offers a reward for waitingin line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it.In this way, the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion.Quixote would work best on a robot that hasa very limited function. It’s a baby step in the direction of teaching moremoral lessons into robots. We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt thevalues of a particular society, and in doing so, it will strive to avoidunacceptable behavior. Giving robots the ability to read and understand ourstories may be the most efficient means.(1)What function do fairy tales perform in the robots?A . They entertain robots.B . They highlight dangers.C . They make robots more intelligent.D . They enable robots to behave morally.(2)What is “Quixote” in the text?A . A punishment systemB . A character in literatureC . A big name in technologyD . A software educating robots.(3)What does the designer expect robot to do in the experiment?A . To take advantage of its privilege.B .

It is a place that should not be overlooked.1.When first entering the restaurant, one can find that it ________ .A. has pleasant smells of kabobsB. is splendidly decoratedC. is crowded with dining tablesD. looks like a common restaurant2.What activity is also mentioned apart from dining in the restaurantA. Reading local English newspapers.B. Drinking a kind of black coffee.C. Watching news events on TV.D. Discussing world topics in low voices.3.The food of the restaurant ________ .A. is served in small amountsB. is rather expensiveC. is rich in varietyD. is very healthy4.What is the dish Joojeh Kabob mainly made ofA. RiceB. ChickenC. BreadD. Beef.5.It can be inferred from the passage that the restaurantA. occupies a large spaceB. owns a favorable locationC. is popular for its special foodD. has a quiet environment insideOne evening in February 20xx, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales.She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path.That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train.Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line.Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.Ceely’ s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device.She had never driver the route before.It was dark and raining heavily.Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing.“I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train, ”she told the BBC.Who is to blame here Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us,points the finger at the limitations of technology.We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job.They are filled with small problems.And it’s not just GPS devices:Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes.A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map.Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention.Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system .Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.It’s a problem that runs through the book.In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars.He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country.He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable,Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the street s .Or changing social circumstances.Or some combination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex.It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in.Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.If there is such a way, it should involve more than just anawareness of the shortcomings of our machines.After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years.They have probably been fooling us for just a.s long.1.What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accidentA. She was not familiar with the road.B. It was dark and raining heavily then.C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.D. Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing.2.The phrase “near miss”(Paragraph 2)can best be replaced by ________.A. close hitB. heavy lossC. narrow escapeD. big mistake3.Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree withA. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.B. Digtal technology often falls short of our expectation.C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.4.In the writer’s opinion,Stevenson’s argument is ________ .A. one-sidedB. reasonableC. puzzlingD. well-based5.What is the real concern of the writer of this articleA. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.B. The human unawareness of technical problems.C. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.D. The relationship between humans and technology.Have you ever complained, “I remember reading it, but I can’t remember what it said ” then you should try the SQ4R reading method.S = Survey.The first step is to take a few minutes skimmingthe chapter. Don’t read it yet, just loo k at topic headings, key words, and read the summary.Q = Question. As you prepare to read the chapter,turn the first topic into a question or two.As you read, seach for the answer.This will help you organize your reading-find the parts that answer your question, give an example ,consist of related information or that may answer a later question.Most importantly, this gives you a reason to read the next paragraph.R = Read.Read in short “bites”(部分),then determine how that answers question(s)you originally posed(提出).Often as you read other questions will arise.R = Recite. Now can you answer your question(s)in your own words If you can’t, reread the material to find the answers or determine if you need to change the question.You are rehearsing(重复,默诵)for the time when you will need o know the answer.A good technique for rehearsing answers is to briefly jot down(草草记下)the key words that remind you of the essence of the answer without writing down every detail.R = Relate.Most of us try to relate what we are reading to what we already know.It is always easier and more satisfying to remember information that is personally meaningful. Everything has a context.Some information may take more reflection before you are able to grasp its relationship with what you already know while other information may simply require more research, to understand how it fits with other data.R = Review.One way to minimize memory decay(衰退)and to store the material you have studied firmly in your mind is by reviewing it.After you finish reading the entire chapter, skim back over it and any note you made.Effective studying requires effective reading.Rather thangetting“intellectual indigestion” while reading straight through a chapter, instead you should stop to survey, question, read, recite, relate, and review so as to improve your reading comprehension.1.What does the passage mainly tell usA. Six steps to skim through a chapter.B. The purpose of using the SQ4R reading method.C. An effective way of getting“intellectual indigestion”.D. A method to help you learn what you read effectively.2.In author’s view, the step of“reading”is a process that ________ .A. you determine what questions should be posed an answeredB. you find key words to remind you of the essence of a chapterC. you search for answers to the questions you created before readingD. you make preparation for the next steps -recite and relate3.Why does the author advise readers to relate what they learn while reading a chapterA. Because it can make us recognize the meaningful information.B. Because the purpose of reading is to know relationships between data.C. Because it’ll be more enjoyable as we’ll be reminded of what we’ve known.D. Because it’ll be easier to grasp and remember the information from the chapter.4.How can we remember what we have learned firmly according to the passageA. By reading it.B. By reviewing it.C. By questioning it.D. By relating it.5.Unlike the SQ4R reading method, “intellectual indigestion”may result from the way of ________ .A. rehearsing for the time when you will need to know the answerB. not finding a purpose for reading the next paragraphC. reading straight through a chapter ineffectivelyD. reviewing many times to store materials in your mindIn Western countries people have been using the installment plan since the first half of the twentieth century.T oday, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments In the U.S.A, the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan.The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash.There is a charge for interest.The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him.He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly,until the full price is paid up.The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to fumish their homes and star housekeeping, It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment .There is ,however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse.This may result in a great increase in unemployment.If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments.Ifgreat numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts, there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money.If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression .This is why, in some countries,the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.1.Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the installment planA. A lot of British families use the installment plan.B. More than 10 percent American families buy things on installments.C. Americans depend more on installment than British people do.D. Americans spend one tenth of their income on installment buying.2.Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because ________ .A. the buyer has to pay extra money as interestB. the delivery of the goods charges extra moneyC. the buyer has to pay a down paymentD. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money3.What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installmentsA. He might lose his job.B. He will stop owning the item he has boughtC. He will have to sell what he has bought.D. He will go into debt4.The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that ________ .A. purchasing power is strengthened.B. employment might be increasedC. people develop a good habit of saving moneyD. young couples are able to furnish their homes5.In some countries,the governments control the installment plan to ________ .A. increase employmentB. avoid depressionsC. ensure that businesses make good profitsD. ensure that people can pay for what they buy四、阅读表达阅读表达:阅读下面短文,按照要求完成阅读任务。

Bradley Cooper.BFive-year-old Prisilla Perez, a student at Meador Elementary School in Willis, was unhappy with her recent haircut, which resulted from a severe disease. When students in her class started calling Prisilla a boy, she felt ashamed, often crying and losing focus in school.Her teacher, Shannon Grimm, sympathized with her unhappiness. Grimm and Prisilla’s mom were concerned, but their ideas didn’t work. “We had classroom discussions about how girls have short hair and boys have long hair, and I showed them photos of movie stars with different looks,” Grimm said. “However, it wasn’t sinking in.”Grimm thought about Prisilla throughout winter break, and one morning, she had an idea: cut off her hair — a scary thought for Grimm, who wore her hair long and took pride in it. “I’ve never had short hair, and I stressed about it for two weeks before making a decision,” she said.

The bighorn sheep numbered as many as 125 just a few years ago. The strong goats spread disease and compete with bighorn sheep for food. Unlike small-sized bighorn sheep, Grand Teton’s mountain goats aren’t native to the park. They were introduced to the park in the 1960s.Grand Teton spokeswoman Denise Germann said, “We’ve got a management responsibilityto protect the native species. After hearing from the public on the proposal (建议) in January, park officials expect to decide as soon as mid-February on what to do about the mountain goats.”The goats are reproducing rapidly. Now might be the best time to reduce the animals before they’re too many to bring under control, according to the Park Service.One wildlife biologist who studies bighorn sheep praised the proposal. “Mountain goats’ original habitat is nowhere close to where they’ve been introduced in the U.S. to provide hunting opportunities,” said Rob Roy Ramey II, with Nederland, Colorado-based Wildlife Science International, Inc.Wildlife managers should get rid of mountain goats not only in Grand Teton but elsewhere to help struggling bighorn sheep, Ramey said. “Unfortunately, state wildlife agencies sell nonnative wildlife viewing opportunities to the public,” Ramey said. “This is not a zoo in the wilderness. It should really be for native wildlife.”28. What can be learnt about the bighorn sheep in the park?A. Their size is huge.B. Their number is decreasing.C. They arrived in the 1960s.D.

To increase diversities of sheep.DAshley C. Ford, a New York City writer, recently appealed to her 66, 000 Twitter followers. “A cool thing you can do today is to try to find out which of your local schools have kids with overdue(过期未付的) lunch accounts and pay them off.”Children from the poorest families get free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch. But some struggle to pay even reduced prices. Some of the IOUs(借据) come from kids who simply forget their lunch money or parents who can afford to pay but neglect to keep prepaid accounts up to date.People around the country have been inspired by Ashley C. Ford to donate money to pay off debts owed by parents that can follow kids throughout their school careers.“It really hit home for me," said Kristina Arwood, who launched a campaign that raised $ 20,000 to pay lunch debts in her region. “I grew up on free and reduced-price lunches, but even that 40 cents was hard to get together with four kids. There were times I wouldn’t eat because I didn’t have money.”The effort drew some criticism from people who said some of the money is owed by parents who can afford the $2.50 for lunch but let their accounts run into the red. But the response has been mostly positive.“It’s unrealistic to think donations are going to fix this problem for all school districts,” said Diane Pratt-Heavner, spokeswoman for the association.F ord said her real aim was to inspire a bigger wave of community giving. She said, “It was just one idea; another school might need help with uniforms or tutoring. The point was to do something that helps people in your community.”32.
