One hot summer I was traveling down the freeway on a day trip to Los Angeles. During my journey down the highway, another motorist suddenly started cutting into my lane. Being in the far right lane, my car was forced onto the shoulder of the road. Being an experienced driver, I steered my car back onto the highway, the motorist drove away without saying anything.
While I wasn’t very happy with the person for cutting in front of me, I decided to consider it an honest mistake—a lack of attention to the lane change or a driver lost in thought. It certainly could not have been done on purpose. The car sped away after cutting in front of me and was soon out of sight.
After a while, I caught up with the same motorist on the side of the road. He was an elderly gentleman who was walking along the side of the freeway on this hot day. With his car stopped on the side of the road and the nearest services at least twenty miles away, I decided to stop and see what the problem was.
The man’s car had a flat tire, and while he had a spare tire, he didn’t have a jack. I decided to help him and allowed him to sit in my air-conditioned car while I changed his tire. Fifteen minutes later, I was hot, sweaty and dirty, but I did feel good after doing something for someone.
25．We can infer from the second paragraph that the _______.
A. motorist didn’t pay any attention to the lane change
B. motorist was lost in thought while he was driving
C. motorist cut in front of the author on purpose
D. author forgave the motorist
26．What can we learn from the text?
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. An act of kindness can make you feel good.
C. No pain, no gain.
D. It is no use crying over spilt milk.
27．Which of the following word can best describe the author?
A. Bad-tempered. B. Humorous. C. Hard-working. D. Kind-hearted.
C
“De-extinction"，the idea that extinct(绝种的) animals can be brought back through cloning or genetic(基因的) engineering, has attracted the interest of a small group of scientists．The topic had made the cover of National Geographic Magazine．Supporters say they are doing it for moral reasons and because we “miss” the extinct animals．They blame human exploitation (such as trapping，hunting，habitat destruction) of the extinct animals，but their plans , though they sound exciting，are exploitation in another form．
Considering the imperfect science of cloning, de-extinction would cause animals suffering．Most animals born of such experiments would suffer serious diseases，dying soon after birth or having a shortened lifetime． Spanish and French scientists worked for years to bring the Pyrenean ibex, a species of wild goat，back from extinction by cloning．In 2009 , they succeeded only in producing a sick baby goat that died 10 minutes after birth．For these animals to be born，other animals would live in captivity, in a lab or elsewhere，and serve as mother substitutes(代用品)，routinely having operations as part of the cloning process．For example，elephants would be kept in captivity to carry woolly mammoth(猛犸) babies for nearly two years．Such experiments often lead to other animals' unhappiness as well．
If extinct animals are successfully brought back，where would they go ?Their original habitats have developed and changed without them．They are unlikely to survive in the natural environment，but，if they do manage to survive，they will affect their environment in unpredictable ways，presenting a new threat to the ecological system．If the animals born through de-extinction are stuck in zoos and museums instead，what good is that ?It is exploitation，not a solution．
It would be better to apply creative thinking about protection to the real-1ife problems of today’s world. De-extinction takes attention away from the difficult situation of endangered animals. Discussions about woolly mammoth cloning do nothing to stop the illegal killings of endangered wild African elephants．Money would be better used to prevent human conflict with wildlife and their ecosystems．
Let’s keep de-extinction in the world of science fiction, learn from our failed past，and protect wild animals and their habitats for the future．
28. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to “____”.
A．de-extinction
B．cloning or genetic engineering
C．exploitation
D．National Geographic Magazine
29. In Paragraph 2, examples are given to show that _____.
A. modern elephant are related to woolly mammoth
B. scientists should improve the cloning process
C. de-extinction does harm to some animals
D. it’s possible to bring back extinct animals
30. What might happen if extinct animals come back to the wild?
A. The problem of extinction will be solved．
B. They will live in their original habitats．
C. The balance of nature may be disturbed．
D. More endangered animals will be saved．
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards “de-extinction” ?
A. Disapproving B. Doubtful C. Supportive D. Uncertain．
D
The regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana (大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily reduces the user’s IQ by 10 points. This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as “infomania”. The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the technology company, has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers.
It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a person’s mind. It can cause a constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be shaped a lot by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. At a microcellular level, the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences.
Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to their social relationship. 1,100 adults were interviewed during the research. More than 62 per cent of them admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they scrutinized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so. Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude.
The effects on IQ were studied by Dr. Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at University of London. “This is a very real and widespread phenomenon,” he said. “We have found that infomania will damage a worker’s performance by reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life. Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working.”
32. The research mentioned in the passage is most probably about ______.
A．the important function of advanced technology
B．the damage to one’s brain done by unhealthy habits
C．the connection between IQ and use of modern technology
D．the relationship between intelligence and working effectiveness
33. We can learn from the passage that infomania ______.
A．has a positive influence on one’s IQ
B．results from the change of part of the brain
C．lies in the problem of lack of concentration
D．is caused by too much use of modern technology
34. The underlined word “scrutinized” probably means “______”.
A．examined carefully B．copied patiently
C．corrected quickly D．admitted freely
35. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D. word/media/image2.gif
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion

How to relax your mind
Nowadays，people everywhere seem to find less and less time available to them, and more and more things to achieve. It’s quite common to find people running around like headless chickens meeting deadlines that they create. One doesn’t have to live this way, in stress and struggle. __36__

Let it all out—__39__ So calling or meeting up with a person who can listen and empathize with us, is often a great way to relax. It’s important that we don’t go into victim mode and get too negative. When we let out our frustrations, it should be done in a positive manner, and with lightheartedness, even joking about the stress we’re under.
__40__—Probably one of the most difficult skills at first to master, but in the end one of the most rewarding to learn in our fast-paced society is the attitude of gratitude. We can do some gratitude list making right on the spot to get out of our heads and away from all that we wished we had but don’t, and to be thankful for all that we do have. I swear learning how to do this will relax you in a way that will change your life for the better.

I just got back the marathon! I was tired and very happy. When I crossed the finish line, I have run for four hours and twenty-five minutes. Jeremy was standing there and he had been waiting for me a whole time. All of us were wet all over —I, because I had been sweating; he, because it had been rained just a little while before. I was too glad to see him that I was moved to tears. I had been looking forward to this day for so long and hoping that I could finish the race in less than four and a half hour.

Dear Mr. Williams,
I am Li Hua, a student from Hongxing Middle School. We are delighted to accept the invitation to play a friendly table tennis match, which will no doubt strengthen our friendship. I am writing to learn about the arrangements.
Since it is the first time for us to go to Australia, we’d like to know the details about the accommodation so that we can make some preparations in advance.

Thank you for all your help and look forward to your reply.
