When I want to see him, I can call up the website on my computer and see the center on my screen. Sally: How does that make you feel? Amy: Wonderful. For example, when I dropped Harry off at the center yesterday, he started to cry. I felt bad, but I needed to get to work. Then at work, I was so worried. I kept thinking about Harry.

The children from these schools were planting a hedge in the garden of the Queen Elizabeth House at the charity in Chalfont St Peter. Plant-for-the-Planet gives children across the globe the opportunity to learn about the threats of global warming to the environment, and then put their new knowledge into practice as they plant new trees. The day was organised by Bob Sherren who showed the children how to plant the planet-friendly line of trees in protective chambers(防护室) to shield them from hungry wildlife as they settle in their roots. Bob said, “The day really was that Thinking Globally, Acting Locally was put into action. The children learned about the importance of planting trees as a way of helping to bring about climate justice for many living in poorer nations and of course enjoyed planting the trees too.” The eventual hedge, which will grow to full size over ten years behind the Queen Elizabeth House, is made up of trees such as oaks, silver birches and so on. Bob added, “The children were also able to help people living at Epilepsy Society because they will gain some well-needed privacy from the hedge in time. The natural wildlife benefits too from the fruits and nuts that a hedge made from native species can provide as well as the possibility for any number of nesting sites.” Emma Darlington, Epilepsy Societys volunteer officer, said, “I think its so important to encourage the younger generation that the future is in their hands and that they can make a difference, whether it is through taking part in projects like this or spreading awareness. We hope they learn a little bit about the work we do at Epilepsy Society toothe trees they planted will be enjoyed by everyone here for years to come.”4. What is the purpose of the Plant-for-the-Planet project?A. To help children learn more about society.B. To offer children colourful after-school activities.C. To raise childrens awareness of global warming.D. To teach children how to protect natural wildlife.5. What does the underlined word “shield” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Separate.B. Take.C. Get.

She wears many beautiful and expensive dresses and wonderful furs, and she is seen in the best stores. She has people to dress her and keep her face pretty. Still, even though she has thousands of admirers, she rarely smiles. Although she is beautiful, she rarely meets men of her own kind. She is, as you might have guessed, the mannequin(人体模特) who looks dreamy from the windows of stores. Some of the people who design window displays think of mannequins only as objects to work with, but most of the people who make use of the figures call them by name. Although a mannequin has a number given to it by the producer, it is very often known by the name of the woman who modeled for it. What the stores look for these days is interesting, rather than perfect faces. Like Sara Kapps, for example. She is a professional model whose lookalike, produced by the Adel Rootstein company, is now popular. Saras long nose and her green eyes make her face unusual rather than beautiful. As fashions change, not only are there changes in faces, but changes in poses too. The figures have become more realistic. Until a few years ago, mannequins were made without toes. But now that open shoes have become popular, toes are necessary. “When trousers were very popular, mannequins stood differently, ” says Candy Pratts, who directs window designers at Bloomingdales, a large New York store. “Now they stand in a more relaxed way that is better for dresses.” Even though a mannequin gets excellent care, her life in a good store is not likely to be more than two years. Bloomingdales has 160 mannequins in use, and Candy Pratts says her department buys some new ones every two months. And that, she adds, is why its best not to get used to any particular mannequin. “When I get a favorite, I hate to see her go.”8. How do most window display designers refer to a mannequin?A. By its sex.B. By its number.C. By the name of its designer.D. By the name of the model it was based on.9. What kind of mannequins do stores look for nowadays?A. Fashionable. B. Economic. C. Beautiful. D. Special.10. Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. Mannequins stand in various poses.B. Mannequins follow the change in fashion.C. Mannequins are made to look like real persons.D. Mannequins are designed to be useful rather than attractive.11. What does Candy Pratts suggest by “When I get a favorite, I hate to see her go.”?A. Take mannequins seriously.B. Never focus on one mannequin.C. Dont buy too many mannequins.D. Grow a deep relationship with mannequins.D The 1993 movie Jurassic Park wasnt the first film to show dinosaurs in the modern world. But it did a good job of bringing the idea of cloning dinosaurs into popular culture. It represented dinosaur cloning in a way that made sense to a lot of people, and it was a successful film, making more than $900 million worldwide. Jurassic Park built on the idea of getting DNA from mosquitoes kept in amber. While this might seem possible at first sight, its highly unlikely that scientists could find usable dinosaur DNA in mosquito fossils. Scientists would need a very specific sample a female mosquito that had taken lots of dinosaur blood immediately before being trapped in amber. Since fossilization in amber is a relatively rare event, the chances of this happening are pretty small. The lack of possible samples isnt the only problem. Most insect fossils found in amber are also too young to contain dinosaur blooddinosaurs were gone by the time the insects became trapped. Many insects went bad from the inside out after they were trapped, leaving nothing inside for scientists to try to find. Finally, the sample would have to be very dry, since DNA can break down quickly in the presence of water. But if researchers did find a perfectly kept mosquito with a body full of dinosaur blood, bringing back its DNA would still be difficult. The blood with the dinosaur DNA would be surrounded by the body of an insect, which has its own DNA. There could also be DNA from other cells trapped in the amber. Then, of course, theres the DNA in the laboratory itselfand in the body of the scientist.12. Why is the film Jurassic Park mentioned at the beginning?A. To lead in the topic of cloning dinosaurs.B. To encourage scientists to clone dinosaurs.C. To give a simple introduction to dinosaurs.D. To stress the possibility of cloning dinosaurs.13. The key to cloning dinosaurs is to gain . A. insect fossilsB. dinosaur DNAC. dinosaur bloodD. mosquitoes in amber14. What is the authors opinion on cloning dinosaurs?A. It is a step away from success.B. It will be a fruitless attempt.C. It requires further research.D. It lacks creative work.15. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Why Was Jurassic Park Successful?B. Reasons for Dinosaurs Dying outC. Can Scientists Clone Dinosaurs?D. Ways of Cloning Dinosaurs第二节 (共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you were a child you had a pure mind, which was free from worries and anxieties.
