22．（8分） Not all of George H.W. Bush’s extended family members were invited to his Washington D．C．memorial service.
Nearly a week after many paid their respects at the Washington National Cathedral, Sharon Bush, who was married to the 41st president’s son Neil from 1980 to 2003, told Page Six that she was allegedly unable to attend the funeral after she was told by her ex-husband’s secretary that there were not enough seats.
“I was going to take the train down. I wanted to pay my respects. But I paid my respects by raising three wonderful children during a 23-year marriage,” Sharon told the Outlet.
Neil and Sharon share three children: son Pierce and daughters Ashley and Lauren Bush Lauren, who gave a reading at the funeral, where the father of three attended with his second wife Maria Andrews, whom he wed in 2004.

Sharon credited herself for raising them to be charitable and public servants. “I taught them everything they know about ‘points of light’ by taking them to soup kitchens and homeless shelters from the time they were 4 years old.

23．（8分）When an ice cube melts, it creates a puddle (水坑). When an ice sheet (冰盖)melts, it raises sea levels. It sounds simple, but scientists have debated for decades whether both the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets actually were shrinking, and how much that melting contributed to rising sea levels.
Now, a new study has provided the best evidence of how the polar ice sheets are responding to our warming world. In the study, an international team of scientists looked at 20 years of' data in the ice sheets collected by 10 satellite missions. The team's conclusion: The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets both are losing ice overall. The researchers also found that between 1992 and 2011, melt water from those shrinking ice sheets caused sea levels to rise by about 11 millimeters.
Over the 19 years studied, the Greenland ice sheet lost 2.7 trillion metric tons of ice. The Antarctic ice sheet also shrank by about l.3 trillion metric tons. Previously, some scientists disagreed whether the Antarctic sheet, the largest mass of ice in the world, was shrinking or growing or neither.
While the Earth is warming overall, the effect of climate change varies from region to region. Over the last 15 years, for example, scientists have something disagreed over how climate change has affected the polar ice sheets. Many studies found that the sheets lost a lot of ice and that not enough snow fell on the sheets to compensate for the loss. But other studies found that the loss of ice was balanced by the gain in snowfall.
Richard Alley, a glacier scientist at Penn State University, said that many of those studies looked at different areas, and over different time periods. In addition, the studies didn't all use the satellite data in the same way. Those differences made, it difficult to compare the results.
The data in the new study matched time periods and areas. The study also combined measurements from kinds of satellites.
1、Why does the author use a common-sense phenomenon as the beginning?
A．To present the reason for ice sheet melting.
B．To show us the result of a scientific experiment.
C．To give a simple example to introduce the topic.
D．To present a common daily finding obvious to the readers.
2、The researchers reached their conclusion by_____.
A．analyzing the findings of former studies
B．observing the Antarctic and Greenland
C．referring to the data from satellites
D．making measurements in the Antarctic and Greenland
3、What does the underlined phrase "compensate for" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Cut down.
B．Lead to．
C．Bring about.
D．Make up for.
4、Which of the following might be the best conclusion for the passage?
A．Ice sheets are shrinking due to global warming.
B．People are suffering from climate change.
C．Rising sea levels makes people live in danger.
D．Shrinking ice has nothing to do with sea levels.
24．（8分）Every pet owner loves his pet. There is no argument here.
But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals, the responses were split almost down the middle. Of the 228 readers who answered it, 108 would lone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion.
Clearly, from readers’ response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to people’s widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure.
Most of the respondents who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope a clone could never truly recreate a pet, many simply didn’t wish to go against the natural law of life and death.
Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More than a few respondents owned “the t dog/cat in the World”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend”, ‘‘a member of the family,” “the light of my life.” They told moving stories of pets’ heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.
Little wonders the loss is so disturbing---and the cloning so attractive. “People become very lose to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member
dies,” says Gary Kowalski, author of Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death away... It’s understandable. Death is always painful. It’s difficult to deal with. It’s hard to accept.”
But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seemed to be at the heart of this problem.
1、So far as the cloning of pets is concerned, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, ,
A．a lot more of them are for it B．a lot more of them are against it
C．very few of them are willing to tell their opinions D．about half of them are for it and the other half against it
2、While talking about the respondents from the readers, the expression “eventual sadness of owning a pet” refers to ,
A．the troubles one has to deal with in keeping a pet
B．the high cost of owning a pet
C．the death of one’s pet
D．the dangers involved in the cloning of a pet
3、From what Gary Kowalski says, we can know that he ,
A．has never thought about the problem of cloning
B．is in favor of the idea of cloning pets
C．is going to write another book on pets
D．is all against the cloning of pets
4、What is the key question at the heart of the problem of cloning pets?
A．Can cloning make the pain one suffers less when a pet dies?
B．Can pet owners afford the cost of cloning?
C．Does cloning go against the law of nature?
D．How reliably does cloning produce an exact copy of one’s pet?
25．（10分）President Xi Jinping, while visiting a village in North China's Shanxi province, called on Wednesday for greater efforts and more effective measures to help those living in poverty.
The president has paid much attention to poverty reduction in recent years. In his New Year’s address, Xi said that what he cares most about is poor people. The people's longing for a happy life is the goal that the Communist Party of China is striving for, Xi said during a stop in the village of Songjiagou, Kelan county, during his Shanxi inspection tour. The village is newly built for local people who relocated from poverty—stricken homes nearby. He called on the villagers to “roll up their sleeves and work on” and the people's livelihoods will “rise joint by joint like sesame flowers on the stem,”the pre
