本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者的爸爸妈妈和哥哥都从事与动物相关的工作，作者长大后也想从事与动物相关的工作，但现在还不知道哪一种最适合自己。
【详解】第一处：考查宾语从句。句意：尽管不知道我能具体为动物做些什么，但只是我可以跟随我哥哥。宾语从句中do缺少宾语，故how改为what。

第九处：考查名词。句意：有很多有关动物的工作可以选择，但是哪一个适合我呢？many修饰可数名词复数，故job改为jobs。

三、 阅读理解
21. 阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。
How to wash clothes in a flash
LAUNDRY is never an easy part of housework. But if piles of sweaty (汗水浸湿的) T-shirts and smelly socks drive you crazy, then two Chinese scientists might have the answer.
    Long Mingce and Wu Deyong of Shanghai Jiao Tong University have invented a kind of cotton that cleans itself. No need for soap or water, the scientists say. All you have to do is put the clothes out in the sun.
    According to the Guardian, this magical self-cleaning ability comes from a special chemical mixture. The material is covered with this mixture. It can break down dirt and remove bad smells after only a few hours in the sun.
    One of the chemicals is called titanium dioxide (二氧化钛). Scientists have known for some time that titanium dioxide can clean fabrics (织物). However , it only works under ultraviolet (紫外的) light and so is not yet widely used – ultraviolet light cannot be seen.
   “We knew that self-cleaning cotton fabrics with titanium dioxide coating had already been developed, but they cannot work, or they work weakly, under sunlight,” Long said. “If we want to use the fabrics in daily life, we must develop cotton that cleans itself under daylight.”
   The scientists worked hard for years to find a better chemical. Finally , they added silver iodide (碘化银) into the mixture. This made the chemical reactions in sunlight faster. The new mixture is also nearly seven times better than the former one with pure titanium dioxide at removing dirt and killing bacteria.
   The experiment was only carried out on cotton clothing. However, according to Long, the technology can be “applied to all kinds of fabrics and their related products.” It is also cheap and environmentally friendly , he said.
   The self-cleaning material is not yet ready for the market. Scientists still need to know whether it could harm people. Although titanium dioxide is used in some foods, it can cause health problems if it gets into the lungs (肺). Scientists need to make sure it is safe before we can start to enjoy the benefits of this technology .
52. Thanks to this new discovery, we will be able to clean fabrics ___ .
   A. using soap and water   B. using silver iodide 
C. using sunlight        D. using moonlight
53. In what way is the new material better than previous materials ?
A. It works using any kind of light.  
B. It works more quickly and effectively.
C. It is widely found in nature.      
D. It can be used for all kinds of fabrics .
54. What might be a problem with the self-cleaning material ?
A. It will cause pollution.          
B. It costs too much to produce.
C. It breaks down easily in the sun.  
D. It might cause health problems
55. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
   A. There may be many other kinds of self-cleaning fabric in the future .
   B. We can already buy self-cleaning clothes on the market.
   C. This was the first time that scientists discovered titanium dioxide.
D. Titanium dioxide is widely used in the food industry.

22. These days, if you still think the cellphone is just for talking, you will get laughed at. Yes, it’s true, voice-only handsets have become out of date. Today’s do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer. The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minutes to use them. Some of the things a cellphone can do for you will be available this year:
         Surf at speed
         Cellpones that let you use the Web have been around for years. So, what’s new? Well, faster third-generation(3G) net works let you surf at anywhere This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone. Possible choices are from LG Electronic VX 8000 and Motorola V 1150.
         Listen as you go
         The problem with most cellphone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs. But, that’s about to change. Sony Ericsson’s new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory. And Sumsung’s SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1.5 GB hard drive. Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens.
         Say cheese
         Camera cellphones are not new either. But, most of them have limitations: around 1-megapixel(百万像素). But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon. Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericsson’s K750i, offer limited zoom and focus controls. Others, like LG’s recent MMA7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full- motion video.
         Portable TV
         You say you like “watching TV”? That’s what Sumsung MM-A700 wants to give you. The new model lets users watch popular TV programs—for a fee. Other choices are Nokia’s 6620, Sanyo’s MM 7400 and NEC’s N940.The NEC model lets you watch public TV—no fee
         The above are just a handful of what you will see in the coming months. Further down the road, your mobile phone may play a host of other roles, such as mobile credit card, position locator… So what is there that a cellphone can’t do?
64.Which of the following models should you choose to listen to the music?
A.Sumsung’s SPH-V5400 and Nokia’s 6620
B.Sony Ericsson’s W800i and Sumsung’s SPH-V5400
C.Sony Ericsson’s W800i and NEC’s N940
D.Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N940
65.What’s the difference between NEC’s N940 and other models?
A.It allows you to surf the Internet at a high speed
B.It can capture 30 minutes of full-motion video
C.It can hold as many as 150 songs
