I’m sure many of you have seen Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Multiplicity, or many of the other movies that describe cloning. Most of what you see in these movies is false. What you don’t know is that cloning could be dangerous, to the clone and to our society as a whole. I think human cloning is wrong mainly for four reasons.
What about identity? Humans are promised the right to their own personalities. What would happen if we ignore those rights by giving them someone else’s genetic identity? True, Cloning may prevent people from possessing their identities.
Also, these is a large power struggle here. Cloning means a degree of power and controls over another person’s physical identity and that ignores their rights and their only personalities. The person doing the cloning would have more power than any parent would have.
Cloning would also deal with killing embryos (胚胎). You might not have known, but Dolly, the sheep that was cloned in 1996, was one of over 200 sheep embryos and hers was the only embryo that survived. The rest died or were thrown away. Imagine if the failure rate was that high when we started to clone humans. cloning means running the risk of wasting too much effort
Cloning someone, at this present time, would be extremely dangerous to the birth mother and the clone. In studies done on cows, 4 out of 12 birth mothers died. There is a very high failure rate, which is shown in the cloning of Dolly. Even if you had a few good embryos, failures have been noticeable in animal tests.
So, should we work ahead in the world of cloning? I say no. the risks are greater than the benefits. It’s dangerous to the clone and to the birth mother. We would be killing human lives in the process. It would also be a violation(侵害) of the clone’s right to its own genetic identity and personality.
小題1:The author thinks human cloning is wrong mainly for ______ reasons.
A.4B.3C. 2D.5
小題2:According to the article, what is the author’s opinion about identity?
A.Cloning itself gives parents great power over identity.
B.People’s identity is completely determined by their genes.
C.Government has the rights to confirm people’s identities.
D.Cloning may prevent people from possessing their identities.
小題3:According to Paragraph 4 ,which is right ?      ____.
A.human cloning is much more difficult than animal cloning
B.there are 200 sheep successfully cloned.
C.cloning means running the risk of wasting too much effort
D.numbers of baby animals are likely to be created by cloning
小題4:Why does the author mention some movies in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the topic of the article.
B.To present his idea about the movies.
C.To state the conclusion first.
D.To make the article unusual.
小題5: What is the best title of the passage?
A.What Is Human Cloning
B.Human Cloning Is Wrong
C.How Does Human Cloning Happen
D.Discussion On Human Cloning

Faced with a tough job market, fresh graduates are dreaming of running their own businesses instead. But a recent survey has showed that such ambitions lack the required support and remain just that — dreams.
The Shanghai Municipal Employment Promotion Center poll of 1,276 graduates in several universities and colleges in the city, released last Friday, showed 59.78 percent of respondents considered the possibility of setting up a company or at least a small store. "But they just stop at the 'thinking' stage," it stated.
Respondents put the top reasons for not going it alone down to a shortage of investment and a lack of business opportunity. They also listed lack of business experience and social networks, the need for advanced study and objections from family members as factors that stood in their way.
More than 90 percent of the interviewees said they would rather take up a job after graduating and then consider starting their own business two or three years down the road.
Guo Bing, a senior student in Shanghai International Studies University majoring in English, decided he wanted to be his own boss last year. But he is looking for a job first. "If I fail to find a satisfying job, I would like to establish a company in exhibition services," Guo said.
The Shanghai native has some relatives working in a local printing plant. With their help, Guo hopes to produce exhibition brochures at a relatively low price. He is also confident that his English language skills can help him do well in the industry.
"Social networking is an important factor leading to business success," Guo said.
Guo said that the shortage of graduate jobs is the main reason driving more university students to set up a business right after their graduation.
Jiang said the university sets up a business guide team made of government officials and professionals. They regularly give training courses to students who show an interest in having their own business. The parents of university graduates are more willing to help their children start up alone, the survey showed" Once you win the support of your family, you have won half the battle," Guo added.
小題1:Which of the following can be the best title?
A.A Tough Job Market
B.Graduates Who Can Only Dream of Being Boss
C.The Ambitious Fresh Graduates
D.The Story of Guo Bing
小題2:Which of the following does NOT stop fresh graduates realizing their dreams of being bosses?
A.The lack of business opportunity and investment.
B.The shortage of business experience.
C.Less skilled English language.
D.Their family members’ objections.
小題3:In the view of Guo Bing, what is the key factor that makes fresh graduates dream of being boss soon after
graduation?
A.Their family don’t support them.
B.Their social networking is not good.
C.There are not enough graduate jobs.
D.They want to achieve greater success.
小題4:Which of the following statements is NOT true about Guo Bing?
A.He has started his own business with the help of his relatives.
B.English is his major in the university.

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said, “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1. The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the every people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2. The mobile phone means that we are never alone.”The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance to her rescue.
Point 3. The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4. The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramanate in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near---but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5. The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously(同聲翻譯地)on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
小題1:Point 1 mainly tells us that __________.
A.The writer’s daughter enjoys talking on the phone
B.More roads create more traffic
C.phones create the need to communication
D.it’s easy to communicate through phones
小題2:People’s attitude towards mobile phone is that it _________.
A.helps people deal with the emergency
B.brings convenience as well as little secret to people
C.is so important and should be encouraged
D.is part of people’s life
小題3:It is possible to talk to several complete strangers at the same time through_____.
A.the TV screenB.a(chǎn) fax machineC.the InternetD.the phone
小題4:Which is the most suitable title for the passage?
A.Phone PowerB.Kinds of Phones
C.How to Use PhoneD.Advantages of Phones

China has become Volvo's third largest market, with more of its car models to go on sale in the world's largest auto(汽車) market this year, Chief Executive Office (CEO) of Volvo Cars China said in Tianjin.
Alexander Klose, CEO of Volvo Cars China, told Xinhua at the Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show, being held from Friday to Wednesday.
Klose said Volvo Cars had entered a new time of fast development, adding that its sales volume in China roared in 2010.
Up to the end of September, Volvo's global sales volume was up 12.5 percent year on year(同年比), compared with 52 percent year-on-year rise in China, he said.
Two new Volvo sales centers opened in Beijing within merely one week in early October, about two months after east China's ZhejiangGeely Holding Group Co acquired(購得)the Swedish brand from the US auto giant Ford for $1.5 billion in early August.
Klose said he was confident of seeing tremendous(巨大的) growth in China's auto market in the next five years. "As the Chinese government has increased the tax rate for large displacement (排量)cars already, we now have a lot of cars below three liters(升), and I think we'll stick to that strategy, as you can see now the XC60 which was introduced today is just two liters," he said.
"As the technology advances, we'll probably even see 1.6 liter engines or 1.5 liter engines in the future," he added.
Volvo Cars is not the only automaker hoping to take advantage of China's rapidly growing auto market.
Bentley, the famous British luxury(豪華) carmaker, will open a new sales center in China at Tianjin Thursday, which is the 11th one in China, according to a press release(新聞發(fā)布) by Shanghai-based Zenith Integrated Communications Corp (Zenith) Saturday at the auto show.
Zenth is the public relations agent of Bentley in China. The automaker has sold 421 limousines(大型豪華轎車) to China in 2009, and the goal for 2010 is 777, the release said.
小題1:The word underlined in the third paragraph would probably be___.      
A.shouted loudlyB.increased in large numbers
C.reduced rapidlyD.burned brightly
小題2:From this passage we can infer that ___.                       
A.The Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show was held from Friday to Wednesday.
B.Volvo Cars is a world-famous carmaker in Britain.
C.Of all the auto sales volume Volvo sales volume is only number one in China
D.Volvo sales centers are developing very fast in China recently
小題3:The text is mainly about____.                       
A.China Becomes Volvo's 3rd largest market
B.Volvo Cars in China
C.Volvo Sales Volume in China
D.Carmakers in China
小題4:How many carmakers are mentioned in this passage which opened and will open new sales centers in China recently?                                 
A.OneB.TwoC.ThreeD.Four

Friendship—Seven Tips on How to Make Friends
Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Friendship offers companionship, improves an individual self-worth and promotes good health. However making new friends comes easy for some people but for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful tips on how to make and keep friends.
Associate with others. The first step to making friends is associating with other people. Health clubs, places of worship and charities are some places where you can meet new people and build friendship. But attending these places is not enough. You will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member.
Be cheerful. A smile on the face is a sure way to attract new friends as people are always drawn to a cheerful disposition. No one wants to keep company with someone who constantly looks upset.
Start a conversation. Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. Do not wait to be spoken to;you can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people regardless of the environment or circumstance.
Stay in touch. For a friendship to grow you need to stay in touch. There are several ways of staying in touch with your friends and these include SMS, phone calls and online social networking sites.
Do things together. Choosing friends with common interest is important in establishing friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together and hanging out will always be a pleasant experience. The less you have in common with your friend the more likely the friendship will not grow.
Let it grow. It is a good thing to stay in touch but try not to choke your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and eventually they may not want to be your friend anymore. The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.
Enjoy your friendship. The best way to enjoy your new friends is to allow them to be themselves. Try not to be critical of them and try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be.

“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”
“Two full inches in the first three days!”
These are the kinds of statements used in magazine,newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.
To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure(查封)of the product.
One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.
Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律訴訟),and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.
小題1:It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are            .        .
A.objectiveB.costlyC.unreliableD.illegal
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.
B. New products are more likely to be questionable.
C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
D. The promoters usually just care about profits.
小題3:FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product             
A.if it is a drug
B.if it is a device
C.if its consumers make complaints
D.if its distributors challenge FDA’s authority
小題4:The Relaxacisor is mentioned as                   .
A.a(chǎn) product which was designed to produce electricity
B.a(chǎn) product whose distributor was involved in a legal case
C.a(chǎn) successful advertisement of a beauty product
D.a(chǎn)n example of a quality beauty product
小題5:The author intends to            
A.make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promises
B.show the weakness of the law on product safety
C.give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
D.introduce the organization of FDA

It’s a nightmare for Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST): within a week,two students committed suicide by jumping off dorm buildings.對于整個華中科技大學來說,這簡直就是場噩夢:一周之內(nèi),兩名學生在宿舍跳樓自殺。
Officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews.校方官員們不愿接受采訪。
“We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides,” said Zhang Jingyuan,one official of HUST.
“Media coverage may arouse some students’ negative emotions again.Suicide can be contagious,” Zhang said.他說,“媒體的報道將會再次引發(fā)學生的消極情緒,自殺是會傳染的!
The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23.對于今年10月23號發(fā)生的第一起自殺事件,華中科技大學迅速做出應急措施。
Advisors and class leaders conducted dorm-to-dorm checks to find students suffering depression.Then psychologists offered one-on-one counseling to them.輔導員和班長們走訪了每個宿舍,找出遭遇抑郁的學生。然后,心理咨詢師會為這些學生提供一對一的心理咨詢。
Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers’ mental problems and offering help were set up in front of dorm buildings.Leaflets carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm.宿舍樓前豎起一些布告欄,為同學們普及關于如何發(fā)現(xiàn)身邊人遭遇心理問題并提供幫助的小貼士。印有類似內(nèi)容的小冊子也被分發(fā)給每個寢室。
However,the second suicide came seven days later.然而,七天后,第二起自殺事件發(fā)生了。
Both students were described as men of few words.Their schoolmates didn’t see anything to indicate suicide.據(jù)周圍人描述,這兩名學生都很少言寡語。他們的同學都沒有覺察到任何自殺前的征兆。
Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders.But the school didn’t know this until the students’ close friends outside school and their parents unveiled the truth after the suicides.章勁元透露,這兩名學生曾經(jīng)飽受心理疾病的困擾。但是學校對此并不知情,他們校外的好友和家長也是在自殺事件發(fā)生后才說出實情。
According to Zhang,there are only three full-time counselors working in the university’s counseling center for its 60,000 students.He complained: “It’s unrealistic to rely only on counselors to detect students’ mental problems.”據(jù)章勁元說,全校共有六萬名學生,但學校的心理咨詢中心只有三位全職心理咨詢師。他抱怨說:“僅僅依靠心理咨詢師來察覺學生的心理問題,這是不現(xiàn)實的!
Effective prevention comes from long-term education for life instead of temporary intervention to meet an emergency,said Hu Yi’an.Hu delivers a course of lectures on life and death at Guangzhou University.He worries that universities have paid little attention to education for life.有效的預防來自于長期的生命教育,而并非遭遇緊急狀況時的臨時干預,胡毅安(音譯)說。他在廣州大學教授以生命和死亡為主題的課程。他為各大高校給予生命教育的關注少之又少而擔憂。
“Education for life helps students respect and love life so they won’t resort to ending their lives when they have difficulties,” said Hu.“生命教育可以幫助學生尊重、熱愛生命,這樣一來,當他們遇到困難的時候就不會選擇結束生命了,” 胡毅安說。
According to Hu,the principles can be incorporated into everyday teaching.胡毅安還表示,這些觀念可以融入到日常教學中去。
Hu is also concerned that some universities are conveying discriminatory message that will hold back students from seeking help.胡老師也很擔心一些大學傳遞出帶有歧視性的信息會使得學生們不愿去尋求幫助。
When HUST conducted the dorm-to-dorm examination,students with poor academic performance were paid special attention.In March,Peking University also released a controversial policy,which required teachers to have a chat with students “with biased thinking”.當華中科技大學校方挨個宿舍進行走訪時,學習成績較差的學生也被給予了特別關照。三月份,北京大學也推行了一項備受爭議的政策,該新規(guī)要求教師們要找那些學生中的“激進分子”談話。
However,Hu suggested that students step out of their comfort zone to seek real-life communication.
小題1:The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means “       ”.
A.willingB.unhappyC.refusedD.decided
小題2:Which measure the university took to the first suicide is incorrect?
A.Conducting checks to find out the students’ depression.
B.Offering counseling to the students.
C.Setting up notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers’ mental problems and offering help.
D.Handing out leaflets to each student.
小題3:Which of the following is right according to the text?
A.Officials of HUST were willing to give the details about the suicide.
B.HUST didn’t respond to the first suicide.
C.What the university about the suicide was a success.

小題4:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Two students of HUST committed suicide.
B.What can we do to prevent the student’s suicide?

D.The dangers in the universities in China.
