It was cold and rainy and they didnt want to go out in the bad weather. Mrs. Rojas made some popcorn and ice tea. At 8:00, Mr. and Mrs. Rojas went into the living room, sat on the sofa and began the movie and ate and drank. At 8:15, Mr. and Mrs. Rojas realized they already watched the movie last year and they didnt want to watch it again.“Now what?” asked Mr. Rojas. “Lets play cards!” answered Mrs. Rojas. At 8:30 Mr. and Mrs. Rojas started to play cards. They were playing for about 10 minutes when Mr. Rojas looked out the window. The rain changed to snow and the trees were covered in beautiful white snow. “Im happy we stayed home tonight. It looks beautiful outside but this weather is very dangerous to drive in.” said Mr. Rojas. “Youre right,” said Mrs. Rojas, “but Im bored. Lets play some music and dance.”Mr. Rojas was surprised. “Dance? But I really dont .”“Oh come on!” Mrs. Rojas insisted. She put on a romantic CD and they both started to dance. They were dancing for about 1 minute when suddenly the music stopped and the lights went out. Mrs. Rojas laughed. “Were just not very lucky tonight, are we?” she said. Mr. Rojas said, “Of course were lucky! We are together!” He kissed her and continued to dance with her, in the dark and without music.1、Why did Mr. and Mrs. Rojas stay at home last night?AThey wanted to stay together. BThe weather was so terrible.CThey had a dinner at home. DThey planned to watch a movie.2、When it started to snow, Mr. and Mrs. Rojas were _.Amaking popcorn Bwatching a movieCplaying cards Ddancing to the music3、We can infer from the passage that .AIt was a rainy day in summer BMrs. Rojas cooked very wellCMr. Rojas loved to dance at first DMr. Rojas was in love with his wife22（8分）China became the first country to clone a monkey using non-reproductive cells, reducing the need to breed lab monkeys and paving the way for more accurate, effective and affordable animal tests for new drugs, scientists said on Thursday .By December, the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had created two clone macaques(猕猴) named”Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua” by nuclear transferring of somatic cells(体细胞)-any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells.Tetra, a monkey born in 1999, is the worlds first cloned monkey, but it was done by using a simpler method called embryo splitting(胚胎分割); but it could only generate four cloned offspring at a time and cannot be genetically changed to suit the experimental need.Cloning a monkey using somatic cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate(灵长类) that shares its genetic makeup, and therefore all of its complexity, with humans.For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which is costly and bad for the environment, and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes.By cloning monkey using somatic cells, we can massively cultivate large numbers of genetically identical offspring in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs. This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and produce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine.Sun Qiang, director of the non-human primate research facility at the institute, said most of the drug trials are currently done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work or even have severe side effects on humans because the two species are so different“Monkeys and humans are both primates, so they are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans,”he said. This is especially useful in testing drugs for neural(神经的) diseases such as Parkinsons disease, metabolic syndrome(代谢综合症) and immune system diseases, and tumors, he added.“This achievement will help China lead the world research in the international science projects related to neural mapping of primate brains, he said. However, bio labs from the United States, Japan, and European countries are also very capable, and they will quickly catch up with China after the monkey cloning technology is made public, Sun added.“This means we have to innovate continuously and work extra hard this year to stay ahead, he said.1、Which of the following is the most important factor in cloning macaques named Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua?AReproductive cells. BSomatic cellsCNeural mapping. DGenetic makeup2、Why is cloning monkeys so difficult?ABecause it is bad for our environment.BBecause each monkey might have different genes.CBecause monkeys genetic makeup is as complicated as humans.DBecause it is too expensive to work on their genetic makeup.3、What is the main idea of Paragraph 8?AThe cure for neural diseases.BThe process of cloning monkeys.CThe significance of cloning monkeys.DThe close relations between monkeys and humans.4、What can we infer from this passage?AMore effective medicine will be produced.BDrug trials on lab mice will be abandoned.CChina is the first country to have cloned monkeys.DChina will stay ahead of the world in cloning.23（8分）ELECTRICITY IS AT THE CORE OF MODERN LIFE. DESPITE THIS, THE FULL STORY OF THIS REVOLUTIONARY FORCE HAS REMAINED UNTOLDUNTIL NOW.Simply Electrifying offers the comprehensive story of one of mankinds most important journeys: from a time when only a few could even imagine a world with electricity to today when, for most of us, a world without electricity would be unimaginable.Since the birth of the modern science of electricity 265 years ago, mankind has built an impressive structure to produce, deliver, and use electricity, thanks to a combination of pioneering science, innovative technology, wise business strategy, and pervasive (到处存在的)economic and environmental regulation.Simply Electrifying brings to life the stories of the people that made it all possiblefrom early pathfinders like Benjamin Franklin, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein to innovators such as Samuel Morse, Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Nikola Tesla. In modern times, business strategists and economic and environmental regulation driven by many, including President Franklin DRoosevelt, Rachel Carson, and even President Barack Obama, have shaped how we use and understand electricity in crucial ways. Today, Elon Musk and others are on the edge of again changing the way we think about and interact with it.Simply Electrifying is painstakingly researched and beautifully written, showing us how both profit-makers and policy-makers must use a wide-angle lens to truly understand the past and predict the future.1、According to the passage, the book Simply Electrifying is written to tell us .Apioneering science of electricityBsignificant journeys of electricityCthe people who invented electricityDthe research which was about electricity2、Why is President Barack Obama mentioned in the book Simply Electrifying?ABecause a policy-maker is usually a top dog that can arouse the readers interest.BBecause a policy-maker can help promote the better use of electricity.CBecause policy-makers can decide the future of the use of electricity on the market.DBecause policy-makers can take control of the economy through electricity.24（8分） Most of us have quite good memories, but our memories are limited. For example, we cannot remember everyone we have ever met or what we did on every single day of our lives. However, there are some people who do have prodigious memories. These people have a rare condition known as savant syndrome（学者症候群）. Savants sufferfrom a developmental disorder, but they also exhibit great talents that contrast（显出差异）sharply with their physical and mental disabilities.Kim Peek (1951-2009) was a savant who lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States. He was born with damage to parts of his brain, but it seemed that other parts of his brain, particularly those relating to memory, became over-developed.Peeks unique abilities appeared at a very early age. When he was just 20 months old, he could already remember every book that was read to him. Peek could read two pages of a book at the same time-one page with the right eye and one with the left-in less than 10 seconds and remember everything he read. By the time he died, Peek had memorized more than 9,000 books. He could remember all the names and numbers in a variety of telephone books. He could remember thousands of facts about history, literature, geography and sports.Dr. David Treffert, an expert on savant syndrome, once described Peek as “a living Google” because of his astonishing ability to memorize and connect facts. However, at the same time, Peek was unable to carry out simple tasks, such as brushing his hair or getting dressed, and he needed others to help him. In 1989, the movie Rain Man won the Oscar for best Picture. The main character in the movie, played by Dustin Hoffman, was based on Kim Peeks life. He started to appear on television, where he would amaze audiences by correctly answering difficult questions on different topics. Peek-became world famous, and he and his father began touring widely to talk about overcoming disabilities. He inspired a great many people with his words. “Recognizing and respecting differences in others, and treating everyone in the way you want them to treat you, will make our world a better place for everyone.Everyone is different.”1、The underlined word “prodigious” in Paragraph 1 probably means _.AhappyBclear.CamazingDshort2、According to the text, Peek _.Acould take care of himselfBwas born with a good memoryCwas the student of Dr. David TreffertDbecame brain-damaged at 20 months old3、How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?ABy giving facts.BBy following time order.CBy explaining causes.DBy making comparisons.4、Peeks words suggest that we should _.Arespect different culturesBlisten to different opinionsCtreat different people differentlyDrespect others differences25（10分） Moving smoothly and silently through Alibaba Group Holding Ltds futuristic “FlyZoo”hotel，black disc-shaped robots about a metre in height deliver food and drop off fresh towelsThe robots are part of a set of high-tech tools that Alibaba says strongly cuts the hotels cost of human labour and eliminates the need for guests to interact with other peopleFormally opened to the public last month，the 290-room FlyZoo is an incubator for technology Alibaba wants to sell to the hotel industry in the future and an opportunity to showcase its prowess in artificial intelligenceIt is also an experiment that tests consumer comfort levels with unmanned commerce in ChinaInside the hotel，softly-lit white panelled walls bring to mind the interiors of Hollywood spaceshipsGuests check in at podiums that scan their faces，as well as passports or other IDVisitors with a Chinese national ID can scan their faces using their smartphones to check in ahead of timeElevators scan gues
