She traces how animal antibiotics endanger human health, causing serious problems from antibiotic resistant stomach infections to UTIs. Recognizing that Americans are going to continue to eat chicken no matter what, Mckernna suggests a way in which factory farming rids itself of its dependence on antibiotics.

It sounded like a hammer pounding on a tough nail. Bam! Bam! BAM! Who could be hammering at three in the morning? It must be Charlie again, making another invention. Just as I was putting on my slippers and clothes, the noise changed. I sat at the edge of my bed and listened. Tick! Tick! Tick! It reminded me of my first wristwatch. Its regular pace had always helped me fall asleep. I started dozing off dangerously ，leaning to the left, when the ticking stopped. It was now replaced by a buzz, similar to the noise ing from a beehive in mid-summer, only louder. I shivered. Im allergic to bees ! Even just thinking about it or hearing a bee like sound makes me swell. I shouted, now wide awake, “ I cant take it anymore!” I marched to the next apartment and knocked. My neighbor immediately opened the door. His curly brown hair was sticking up every which way. He wore baggy striped pants and a loose raspberry shirt. “Hi, there, Lucy! Whats up ?” he asked. I pointed at my noiseless watch. “Do you know what time it is?” He grabbed my arm and glanced at my timepiece. “Oh, my God! I didnt realize it was that late. Im busy working on a machine that can cure insomnia(失眠). Its almost finished. You want to see it?”I should have known. His last invention was supposed to annihilate bad smells, but it was powered by rotten（腐烂的） eggs. 24.Whatmadetheauthorsleepyagain? A.Thetickingsound.

D.GetridofC Johnny Smith was a good math student at a high school. He loved his puter. He came home early every day, then he worked with it till midnight. But Johnny was not a good English student, not good at all. He got an F in his English class. One day after school Johnny joined his puter to the puter in his high school office. The school office puter had the grades of all the students: the math grades, the science grades, the grades in arts and music, and the grades in English. He found his English grade. An F! Johnny changed his English grade from an F to A. Johnny parents looked at his report card. They were very happy.“An A in English! said Johnnys Dad. “Youre a very clever boy, Johnny.” Johnny is a hacker. Hackers know how to take information from other puters and put new information in. Using a modem（调制解调器）, they join their puters to other puters secretly. School headmasters and teachers are worried about hackers. So are the police, for some people even take money from bank puter account and put it into their own ones. And they never have to leave home to do it! They are called hackers.28.

Johnny B. puters C. hackers D. modemDWhen a storm is ing, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up. “Storm chasing” is being an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frepuent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop. Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season. Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement . “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.” However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.” 32. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to .A. collect information about a ing storm B. get into the car for safety C. wait patiently for the storm to develop D. head straight for the center of the storm33. Beginners of storm chasing are advised _. A. not to drive in a heavy rain B. to do it in an organized way C. not to get too close to a storm D. to spend more time on it in summer 34. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that _. A. storm chasing costs a lot of money B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid D. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth 35. What can we learn from the text? A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment. B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms. C. Storm chasing is being popular around the world. D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.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。 To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.
