They chose men 21 the age of twenty and thirty-five. There were about fifty of them many of whom were 22 air pilots. 23 were scientists with two or three degrees. NASA telephoned each man they were going to choose and told him the plans and the 24 they might get in. They then asked him if he was willing to be trained as an astronaut. “How could any man 25 such an exciting job?” One of them said, “Dangerous? Of course. Its most exciting ,_26_.”The health and physical condition of 27 was, of course, very necessary. Only those in very good health and physical condition were chosen.While they were being trained to be astronauts. they went through many 28. They studied the star and the moon , and they also studied geology, the science of rocks. This must be necessary 29 astronauts would have to look for rocks on the moon. They would try to find rocks which might help to tell the 30 of the moon. They were all 31 to fly in helicopters. These helicopters landed 32 down to give them some experience of the way the spaceship would 33 land on the moon , They were also taught the 34 facts about the conditions in space. They learnt all the technical details of the spaceships and rockets. They visited the scientists and engineers who 35 them. They visited the factories where they were 36 . They learnt how every 37 of a space-ship and its instruments work. They also learnt every detail of ground-control 38 .In a word , to be chosen as an astronaut. _39_ must be in good health, 40 of science and good at piloting21AatBbetweenCofDon22AexperiencedBoldCtrainedDyoung23ANoneBFewCOthersDThey24AdangersBsadnessChardshipDtroubles25AacceptBreceiveCofferDrefuse26AthoughBifCbutDyet27Athe scientistsBmenCpilotsDyoung people28AjobsBplacesCcoursesDways29A. becauseBforCsinceDso that30AstoryBbackgroundCageDname31AshownBtrainedCtoldDlet32ArightlyBstraightlyCindirectlyDdirectly33ApossiblyBlikelyCactuallyDreally34Anot knownBwell-knownCunknownDknown35AdrewBproducedCdesignedDmade36A repairedBbuiltCdevelopedDfixed37ApartBmovementCmachineDbody38AhouseBstopCsystemDstation39.

So far seven different kinds of animals have already successfully been cloned, including sheep, cats and most recently rabbits.Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admitted that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a worldwide ban on the practice.Professor Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said, “I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby. It is using humans as guinea pigs(試驗(yàn)品). It makes people feel sick.”But Ronald Green, director of the Ethics Institute at Darmouth College in the USA, said it is unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth.So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders, many of them dying soon after their birth.Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one. “There are no benefits of cloned human beings, just harm,” said Dr. Michael Wilks of the U.K.41. The underlined phrase “on the brisk of” probably means _.A. on the side of B. on the point of C. in search of D. in favor of42. What is the doctors general attitude to human cloning according to the passage?A. NegativeB. Positive C. Neutral D. The passage doesnt tell us43. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Doctor Severino Antinori is strongly opposed to human cloningB. Up to now, seven kinds of animals have been cloned, including sheep, cats, human and rabbitsC. Professor Rudolf Jaenisch is carrying on an experiment in cloning an eight-week-old embryo.D. Ronald Green doubts about the future successful birth of the so-called cloned embryo.44. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Success of Cloning Humans B. The Anger at Cloning HumansC. Failure of Cloning Humans D. The first Cloned HumanBThe average person learns most of the 30 00040 000 words whose meanings he or she recognizes by hearing them or getting familiar with them in the context or simply absorbing them without conscious (意識(shí)到的) effort. The best way to build a good vocabulary, therefore, is to read a great deal and to participate in a lot of good talks. There are relatively few words that we learn permanently (永久的)by purposefully referring to dictionaries or keeping word lists. However, even those extra few are of value, and no one will make a mistake by working on developing a larger vocabulary. Here are some suggestions of how to do it.Read plenty of good books. When you come across a new word, stop and see if you can understand it from its context. If you can't, and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much, look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody. If you are really conscientious(認(rèn)真的), write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list preferably using it in a sentence, or you can keep a special vocabulary notebook. Go over the list from time to time. Further, try to use a new word in writing or conversation a few times over the next several days.Listen to good talks and be alert to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you already know. Then treat them just as you treat the new words you read.Learn and be alert to the parts of words: prefixes, suffixes and roots. Knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses about the meaning of words.45. When you meet a new word in reading, what should you do?A. Guess its meaning. B. Ask somebody.C. Look it up in a dictionary. D. All of the above.46. According to this passage, the best way to build a good vocabulary is _.A. to remember a lot B. to read a great dealC. to take part in a lot of good talks D. both B and C47. The phrase “be alert to” in the third paragraph may best be replaced by “_”.A. look at B. pay attention to C. write down D. learn by heart48. In the fourth paragraph, the word “them” refers to _.A. the parts of words B. prefixes C. suffixesD. rootsCThe young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches (串) of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. "Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira"He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill He didn't have change, so I told him not to worry.He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the comer selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What's up”. I asked him. “I.I don't have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills."Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. "Thank you, sir," he said. 'Thank you very much.”When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he's a cheat (騙子)? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face"oh, gosh! Long time.""Are you in school now?” I asked.He nodded."That's good," I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. "Here," I held out a 500 naira bill. "Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. "What's wrong?” I asked. "It's a gift"He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. HIS face shone with sweat (汗水)。 He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, "I've been waiting to give these to you."49. What was the author's first impression of the boy?A. He seemed to be poor and greedy. B. He seemed to have suffered a lotC. He seemed younger than his age. D. He seemed good at bargaining50. The second time the author met the boy, the boy_.A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts B. wanted to express his thanksC. asked him for money for his schoolbooks D. tried to take advantage of him51. Why did the author give his money to the boy?A. Because he had enough money to do that.B. Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.C. Because he held a higher position in the society.D. Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.52. Which of the following best describes the boy?A. Brave and polite. B. Kind and smart C. Honest and thankful. D. Shy and nervous.DWith only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species (物種). Thats a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking in a project called “Noahs Ark”.Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos, and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen(液體氮). If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & Ms College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.It is reported that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by implanting cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.“The nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be a scientific breakthrough if it works.” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.“They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort that is very much needed.”53. The aim of “Noahs Ark” project is to _.A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandasB. save endangered animals from dying outC. collect DNA of endangered animals to studyD. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another54. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _.A. available panda eggs B. host animalsC. qualified researchers D. enough money55. The best title for the passage may be _.A. Chinas Success in Pandas Cloning          B. The First Cloned Panda in the WorldC. Exploring the Possibility to Clone PandasD. China the Native Place of Pandas Forever56. From the passage we know that _.A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dogB. Chinese scientists try to implant a rabbits egg into a pandaC. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researchesD. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a centuryEUS military is attempting to develop a new style “insect robot” to replace the human soldier to go wherever he cant. The greatest trouble this project has fallen across is how to enable the robot to fly freely like an insect, said an official of the Pentagon(五角大樓).The Pentagon is seeking for the cooperation with scientists in hope of developing a new technique by which people can control the insects flight direction and pass on the information its eyes or other organs（器官）catch through the equipment set in its body，the official said.It is thus designed that a tiny controlling chip will be equipped in an insects body when it is in chrysalis(蛹). As the insect grows，the cut made when fixing in the chip will be recovered. The chip will exist in for ever. Scientists believe this wont influence the insect，sound growth or the functions of internal organs.The terminal target of the project is to set up a global system，in which the insect robots will be stationed in all parts of the world and stick to their posts till a new instruction is received. At that time the military can receive from all over the world clear image information within about 5 meters of the insects and that of a special target within 100 meters.Years ago, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of US DOD spent $3,000,000 carrying out a plan for training bees to detect landmines. But, no new progress has so far been made.“There is enormous difficulty in technology in turning it into reality, such as the insects re-production, their adaptation(適應(yīng)) to the surroundings and temperature and so on. However, this project is really challenging . If successful, it is equal to making countless small drone(無人機(jī)),”said the official of DOD.57According to the description of the passage，what is an insect robot like?AAn insect made of a certain metalBA robot looking like an insectC. An insect with a chip in its bodyDA tiny flying robot58As for the design that an insect robot can receive and send information，how do you inferit works?AThere must be an inset chip well connected with the insects brainB. The insect s eyes and other organs must be replaced by some special equipmentCAll the insects concerned organs must be linked to an insect chipDThe insect must be so well trained as to make full use of its organs59.When the project is completed，US military will_Ahave a clear picture of almost every part of the worldBhave global stations of insect robotsCsee clearly the things within 10 to 100 metersDget many insects which obey their orders60Of the following technical problems，which is the one the scientists cant solve so far?AThey cant keep the insects growing normallyB. They cant ensure the insects to produce their youngCThey cant fix a chip in an insectDThey cant control the robots flight第四節(jié)：單詞拼寫（每空1分，共10分）61.
