They prefer to stay in their own peaceful world without being disturbed and care little about passion and success.Now, Chinese internet users are pairing the phrase with other words to describe a similarmindset. For example, “Buddhist students” are those who study just the right amount they dont cut class, but they dont burn the midnight oil, either. There are also “Buddhist parents”, whointerferelittle with their childrens lives and let them develop however they like the opposite of “helicopter parents”.In this fast-changing and petitive world, its only natural that people areseekingaspiritual anchor.However, some would pare foxi with “demotivational culture” a phrase that describes young people who feel aimless and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their will to fight. They are pretending to keep a healthy and wise attitude toward failure simply because theyreincapableof succeeding. But no matter what, there is one thing that “Buddhist youngsters” should keep in mind: You may want to keep a calmmindsetregarding failure, but you should also be passionate and positive about school, work and life.21. Which groups was the word “Buddhist” originally created to describe in Japan?A. Those young men who feel aimless and powerless.B. Those young men who are incapable of succeeding.C. Those young men who care little about passion and success.D. Those young men who are pletely cut off from the outside.22. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Buddhist parents dont care for their children at all. B. Buddhist students are always staying up late to study.C. “Buddhist” refers to those who prefer to follow someone elses path. D. Helicopter parents involve themselves too much in their childrens life.23. Which of the following statements might the author most likely agree with? A. Young people are encouraged to live like a Buddha.B. One should stay calm and be optimistic in face of failure.C. Young people today are actually losing their will to fight. D. To study just the right amount is a wise choice for a student.BChina became the first country to clone a monkey using non-reproductive cells, reducing the need for lab monkeys and paving the way for more accurate, effective, and affordable animal tests for new drugs, scientists said on Thursday.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(躯体的) cells any cell in the organism other than reproductive 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 splitting, and it could only produce four cloned babies at a time and cannot be genetically changed to suit experimental needs, said Pu Muming, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the director of Institute of Neuroscience, CAS.“Cloning a monkey using somatic cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate(灵长类) that shares its genetic makeup, therefore all of its plexity, 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(培养) large number of genetically identical babies 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, “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, metabolic and immune system disease, and tumor, he added.24. What makes cloning a monkey using somatic cells a big problem? A. Lack of lab monkeys. B. plex genetic make-up. C. The high expenses. D. The harm to the environment.25. Cloning monkeys with non-reproductive cells can bring benefits except _. A. producing more effective medicine B. reducing experiment costs C. saving time on lab tests D. curing neural diseases easily26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Zhongzhong and Huahua are the worlds first ever-cloned monkeys. B. Cloning a monkey using reproductive cells is a world-class challenge. C. Cloning a monkey using non-reproductive cells needs more lab monkeys. D. The sheep Dolly was ever cloned by nuclear transferring of somatic cells.CA new library in Tianjin Tianjin Binhai Public Library recently became an online hit. The Daily Mail described it as the “worlds ultimate library”, while the word “breathtaking” was the choice of Newsweek magazine. One look at the library and youll see why. With its futuristic design and walls loaded with books, its the dream library of every book lover.But as the awe continues, theres a burning question lying in the back of our minds: When physical bookstores are closing down one by one, what makes libraries immune(免除的) from the wave of digitalization? And do we really still need libraries now weve got the internet in our hands?Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are not declining in importance people are simply changing the way they use them,” he wrote on the Guardian website.What Clark means is that libraries have shifted from simply being storehouses of books to a medium to help “bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots”, according to website Libraries Are Essential. Since not everyone can afford a smartphone, a tablet or an internet connection, and not everyone knows how to search the internet correctly and efficiently, its public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people.And one of the pitfalls that e with online materials is that theyre not always reliable. “Google doesnt tell you what youre not getting, so people need to evaluate the quality and pleteness of what they see on their screens,” Sarah Pritchard, dean of libraries at Northwestern University, told Northwestern Research Magazine. And libraries are usually where that “evaluation” happens.But all of these practical functions aside, we still need the physical space that a library provides. Its something thats called a “third place”, according to the Seattle Times. This is a place in which we can fully concentrate on our study and work without easily getting distracted.And pared to other “third places” like coffee shops, libraries have a “non-mercial nature” that allows you to relax pletely.“Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library. There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices,” Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University in New Zealand, wrote on the Newsroom website.“There are few other spaces that you can just be without somebody questioning your presence or your motivation.”27. Which of the following words best describe “Tianjin Binhai Public Library”? A. peaceful and sacred B. traditional but mercial C. impressive and amazing D. attractive but noisy 28. The underlined word “pitfall” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _. A. trap B. evaluation C. adventure D. puzzle29. Why do we need physical libraries in a digital age? A. Physical libraries allow us to be questioned freely.B. Physical libraries are where we can buy things easily.C. Physical libraries provide more information than the Internet.D. Physical libraries are where we can fully concentrate on study.30. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage? A. A Digital Library in TianjinB. A Library Available to Get Relaxed C. A Physical Librarythe Focus of the WorldD. A Physical Library the Source of Reliable Materials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 to Handle Being the New Kid at SchoolBeing the new kid at school can be a scary experience!
