On my finger was a very special ring: Id only just picked it up from the jewellers the day before because Id had it designed to hold a diamond given to me by my grandmother for my 21st birthday.I looked down at my ring as I began my walk, feeling as sunny as the day. Imagine my sadness when I looked again at the end of the track and saw a hole in the setting where the diamond should have been. It was missing.Panicked, I started back along the path, looking frantically for the stone. In my heart, I knew how hopeless my search was. The track was long, stony and covered with leaves and debris (碎片).As I scanned the ground, crying and extremely worried, I met an elder gentleman out for a walk. “Whats the matter, love?” he asked kindly. “Lost something?” I explained about the missing diamond and showed him the hole in my ring. He whistled.“Thats gonna be hard to find. Tell you what, love, I walk along this track every day, Ill keep my eyes open for it.” I thanked him, expecting nothing, but told him my husband often walks our dogs along the path if he ever found something.A few days later, my husband met the gentleman on the path. “Guess what?” he said. “I found your diamond!”Unbelievably, hed found the tiny stone and was delighted to hand the diamond back to my husband, saying casually, “Lucky I found itI only have 50 percent sight in one eye.”When my husband offered him money for his trouble, he refused it. He could have easily kept the diamond, or sold it, as its worth several thousand dollars, but, thanks to this man, Ill spend the rest of my days trying to do something equally significant for another person. And if Im ever worried about the state of the human race, all I have to do is look at my ring and remind myself that there are still kind and generous souls out there.25. Which of the following can best describe the old man?A. Rich and generous. B. Careful and brave.C. Kind and honest. D. Patient and modest.26. What does the underlined word “frantically” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Casually. B. Anxiously. C. Excitedly. D. Deliberately.27. What can we learn about the diamond?A. The writer bought it in the jewellers. B. It had a hole in the setting.C. It was a gift from the writers grandma. D. The owners husband paid to regain it.28. What section of a magazine does this text probably e from? A. Life Well Lived. B. The Holiday Season.C. Important Facts. D. The Power of Good.CSometimes even the best technology isnt as powerful as a lot of people working together. At NASA (美国宇航局), for example, satellites help scientists study clouds. Cameras and other tools on those satellites do a great job of seeing clouds all over the planet.“Youre not able to get a sense for whats happening with the clouds in one area throughout the day,” says Taylor at NASA. “But citizen scientists can fill those gaps.” NASA collects data from citizen scientists who observe clouds at lots of different times. They provide reports with weather data. The large numbers of observations are helpful. NASA scientists use them to make sure they match satellite data. That way they know whether satellites are working correctly.“Its crowd-sourcing at its finest,” Taylor says. “When you bine everyones observations over time, all those estimates average out to create more and more accurate information.”Also, some types of satellites “see” differently than we do. For example, some satellites looking down at Earth cant tell the difference between snow and a cloud. “Both are white and really cold,” Taylor explains. That can make it hard for the satellite sensors to tell them apart. But “on the ground, it would never be a question.” And this is where a humans eyes can be better than a satellites.Kids can sometimes offer a new way of looking at an issue, bringing a new idea, and it partners students with scientists. That can be helpful when scientists get stuck and cant think of new ways to approach a problem. At the beginning of a project, kids often ask about the answer to a research question. Students are usually surprised and excited to find out that no one actually knows the answer, and that its their job to help make discoveries.29. How can NASA get a more accurate result in studying clouds?A. By satellites watching in space. B. With the help of citizen scientists.C. By photos taken by camera on the earth. D. With various tools on the satellites.30. What do we know about the satellite sensors?A. They arent fit for cold weather.B. They see things on earth clearly.C. They work abnormally when cloudy.D. They make mistakes sometimes.31. What may matter when kids do a research project?A. New ways and ideas.B. The scientists instructions.C. The perfect research conditions.D. The answer to the research question.DChina became the first country to clone a monkey using non-reproductive cells, reducing the need to raise lab monkeys and paving the way for more accurate, effective, and affordable animal tests for new drugs.By December, the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had created two clone monkeys named “Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua” by nuclear transferring of somatic (身体的) cells. This was the similar technology used to create the famous clone sheep Dolly in 1996. Tetra, a rhesus monkey born in 1999, is the worlds first ever-cloned monkey, but it was done using a simpler method called embryo (胚胎) splitting, but it could only generate four cloned offspring at a time and cannot be genetically changed to suit experimental needs, said Pu Muming, an academician of CAS. “Cloning a monkey using somatic cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate (灵长类动物) that shares its genetic makeup with humans,” he said. “For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which is costly, bad for the environment and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes,” Pu said. “By cloning monkey using somatic cells, we can mass cultivate large numbers of genetically identical offspring in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs,” he added. “This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and produce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine.” Sun Qiang, director of the non-human primate research facility at the institute, said most of the drug trials are currently done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work or even have severe side effects on humans because the two species are so different. “Monkeys and humans are both primates, so they are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans,” he said. “This is especially useful in testing drugs for neural diseases such as Parkinsons disease, and immune system disease,” he added. 32. What is the passage mainly about?A. China was the first country to clone a monkey.B. China will produce more affordable new drugs.C. More accurate and effective tests will be performed on animals.D. A monkey has been cloned in China using non-reproductive cells.33. What does the underlined word “offspring” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Cells. B. Animals babies.C. Children.D. Sheep.34.What did Pu Muming say about Chinas cloning of a monkey?A. It is tough but beneficial.B. It contributes to mental research.C. Its a costly experiment.D. It helps change human genes.35. What can we infer from Director Suns words?A. Humans are quite different from mice.B. Monkeys and humans have close relationships.C. Drugs trials might be done on lab monkeys in the future.D. Medicines made from monkeys will appear on the market.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。How Laughing at Yourself Makes You AttractiveHave you ever embarrassed yourself in public and got laughed at for it? 36_ And its okay- we should even have a laugh about them.Laughing at yourself means accepting who you really are.
