The Parker family were also thinking of places to go for Christmas break. Mr. Parker brought up the idea of heading to an amusement park called South Side. Mary rolled her eyes and plained, Dad, at the age of 14, Amanda and I have no interest in going to an park.Mr. Parker shook his head and addressed, This is not like any other amusement park. There is so much more than your think and I know you two would love it. Well then, tell us more!Amanda insisted.I dont have to tell you, how about I show you, dad replied. The girls looked at each other, “Okay!they both voiced together.As the video was on, Amanda got extremely excited and Mary, happy, yet not too convinced, agreed that they could go. For the next hour, the three of them packed and dad booked a flight for the next morning at 8 a.m.The next morning, they woke up early at dawn around 4:30 a.m. and headed to the airport. The flight was about 3 hours long and then they took a train. After they reached their destination, going into the hotel, the Parkers seemed to be quite impressed and pleased with the modern design. Then, they headed over to the park to check it out.The park was something different for sure. It looked so calm and nature seemed to smile down, weling the guests. It was made up of tall trees and bushes of beautiful flowers. It was a very tropical feel and very relaxing. At the first glance, Mary frowned and said, This place looks like a forest!Amanda rolled her eyes and advised.Mary, I really think you should quit plaining and just enjoy where we are.Mary sighed but realized Amanda was right. She might as well give this place a chance.24.What is the sisters first response to Mr. Parkers idea? A. They showed interest in it.B. They turned a deaf ear to it.C. They didnt care much it.D.

C Small talk-the likes of What do you have there? Popcorn? or The weather today is beautiful isnt it?”- is meaningless and a waste of time, according to some people. But scientists believe that it is actually more useful than it may appear to be.One example es when you are on a train or a plane. The thought of talking to the stranger sitting beside you can be scary, because you know the conversation is sure to be awkward. But a study by the University of Chicago in the US found that people who chat to strangers enjoy a better ride than those who sit in silence or bury themselves in their phones.In the study, researchers asked real-life people at Chicago train stations to start conversations with fellow travelers. Most of them refused to do so at first because they expected not to get a friendly answer, but the result turned out to be just the opposite-most strangers were not only willing to be talked to, but also pleasant to talkHuman beings are social animals, Nicholas Epley, one of the lead researchers, told Live Science.Other people are people, too. And it turns out that theyd like to get to know you.”Apart from making you happier, small talk with strangers can also help you feel connected to your surroundings. Previous studies found that when people are frequently smiled at, made eye contact with and spoken to at coffee shops, they tend to have a stronger sense of belonging instead of feeling like they are being ignored and left out.And if you are already fortable enough to make small talk with strangers, you should try to develop it into something “bigger”.28. Which of the following statements may Nicholas Epley agree most?A. Conversations with strangers are sure to be awkward.B. People have a sense of belonging when talking to others.C. It is natural for people to want to know more about others.D. People should have deep conversations with fellow travelers.29. Small talk is actually useful because it can bring us_.A. social skills and panions.B. pleasure and a sense of belonging.C. respect and a feeling of connection.D. happiness and others recognition.30. What may be talked about in the paragraph that follows?A. Small talk with strangers might be risky.B. How people should start small talk with strangers.C. Having a deep conversation gives people more happiness.D. Why most people refused to make small talk at first in the study.31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Talk To Me, Please B. Deep Conversations Begin with Small OnesC. Secrets of A Pleasant Journey D. Small Talk Benefits Your Life D Cloning is suggested as a means of bringing back a relative, usually a child, killed tragically. Some parents can understand that wish, but it must first be recognized that the copy would be a new baby and not the lost child. Here lies the difficulty, for the sad parents are seeking not a new baby but a return of the dead one. Since the original would be fondly remembered as having particular talents and interest, would not the parents expect the copy to be the same? It is possible, however, that the copy would develop quite differently. Is it fair to the new child to be placed in a family with such unnatural expectations?Copying is also suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams. Couples might choose to have a copy of a film star, baseball player or scientist, depending on their interest. But because personality is only partly the result of genetic inheritance(遗传), conflicts would be sure to arise if the cloned child failed to develop the same interest as the original. What if the copy of Einstein shows no interest in science? Or the baseball player turns to acting? Success also depends upon fortune.What if the child does not live up to the hopes and dreams of the parents simply because of bad luck?Every child should be wanted for itself, as an individual. In making a copy of oneself or some famous person, a parent is deliberately(深思熟虑地)specifying(详细说明)the way he or she wishes that child to develop. In recent years, particularly in the US,much importance has been placed on the right of individuals to reproduce in ways that they wish. So I suggest there is a greater need to consider the interest of the child and to reject these proposed uses of cloning.32. What happens to parents in cloning a lost child?A.Parents expect too much from the copy.B.Parents may get a quite different copy.C.Parents are sure to have an identical(相同的) copy.D.Parents lose the talents of the lost child.33. What, in the authors opinion, affects the success of parents dreams?A.The cloned childs interest in Einstein.B.The cloned childs natural talent.C.The cloned childs personality.D.The efforts of the parents.34. In the last paragraph, the author implies that_A.the cloned child is viewed as independentB.the right of growing in his own way is taken away from the cloned childC.parents carefully protect the rights of the cloned childD.parents are eager to wish the cloned child to be somebody35. In this passage, the author is mainly concerned about_.A.the future of a cloned childB.the possibility of cloning peopleC.the importance of cloning a lost childD.the problems of a cloned child 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Weparentsgetlotsofadvice.Butinsteadoftheexpertstellinguswhatweshoulddo, perhapsitstimethey tellustojuststopit.

A little bit is fine. Its part of our world. But when it bees what you spend the majority of your time doing, you know thats too much.
