For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn, even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers. While many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldnt wait to be out in the world on my own. I had been looking forward to this chance for longer than I could remember. And once again, while my mom may not have been happy at the thought of me going away, she was supportive and excited for me. Sure, there were times when shed nag (不断地唠叨)me about certain choices I made, but for the most part she did not stand in my way.One big thing I realized during my senior year was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all As.I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on whats important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her; she is the strongest woman I know and thats why I have turned out so strong and independent.31.

Such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals, and expensive and time consuming for people. Yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge vast gaps in medical knowledge. That is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year. Europe, on the whole, has the worlds most restrictive laws on animal experiments. Even so, its scientists use some 12 million animals a year, most of them mice and rats, for medical research. Official statistics show that just 1. 1 million animals are used in research in America each year. But that is misleading. The American authorities do not think mice and rats are worth counting and, as these are the most common laboratory animals, the true figure is much higher. Japan and China have even less comprehensive data than America. Now Europe is reforming the rules governing animal experiments by restricting the number of animals used in labs. Alternatives to animal testing, such as using human tissue or computer models, are now strongly recommended. In addition, sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use. At present, scientists often share only the results of successful experiments. If their findings do not fit the hypothesis being tested, the work never sees the light of day. This practice means wasting time, money, and animals lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments. Animal experimentation has taught humanity a great deal and saved countless lives. It needs to continue, even if that means animals sometimes suffer. Europes new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is conducted. 35. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The success of animal experiments should be ensured. B. A ban on the use of animals in the lab should be enforced. C. Greater efforts need to be taken to reduce the number of lab animals. D. Scientists should be required to share their research results with each other. 36. Which of the following statements is true about animals used in the lab? A. America uses only about 1.1 million lab animals per year.B. Europe does not use mice and rats as lab animals at all. C. Britain does not use as many lab animals as China does. D. Japan has less comprehensive data on the number of lab animals used each year. 37. Which of the following is mentioned as an alternative to replace animal experiments? A. Statistical studies. B. Computer models. C. DNA planted in animals. D. Tissue from dead animals. 38. What usually happens to unsuccessful animal experiments? A. They are not revealed to the public. B. They are made into teaching materials.C. They are collected for future publication. D. They are not removed from the research topic list.C.Cutting global warming pollution would not only make the planet healthier, it would make people healthier too, new research suggests.Cutting carbon dioxide emissions could save millions of lives, mostly by reducing preventable deaths from heart and lung diseases, according to studies released Wednesday and published in a special issue of The Lancet British medical journal.“Relying on fossil fuels leads to unhealthy lifestyles, increasing our chances for getting sick and in some cases takes years from our lives,” US Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a telecast (电视广播) briefing from her home state of Kansas. “As greenhouse gas emissions go down, so do deaths from cardiovascular (心血管的) and respiratory diseases (呼吸疾病). This is not a small effect.”Instead of looking at the health ills caused by future global warming, as past studies have done, this research looks at the immediate benefits of doing something about the problem, said Linda Birnbaum, director of the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.Some possible benefits seemed highly speculative (投机的，推测的), the researchers conceded (承认，给予), based on people driving less and walking and cycling more. Other proposals studied were more concrete and achievable, such as reducing cook stoves that burn dung (粪便), charcoal and other polluting fuels in the developing world.And cutting carbon dioxide emissions also makes the air cleaner, reducing lung damage for millions of people, doctors said.“Here are ways you can attack major health problems at the same time as dealing with climate change, said lead author Dr. Paul Wilkinson, an environmental epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.Wilkinson said the individual studies came up with numbers of premature deaths prevented or extra years of life added for certain places.For example, switching to low-polluting cars in London and Delhi, India, would save 160 lost years of life in London and nearly 1,700 in Delhi for every million residents, one study found. But if people also drove less and walked or biked more, those extra saved years would soar (高耸，高涨) to more than 7,300 years in London and 12,500 years in Delhi because of less heart disease.39. What does the passage mainly about?A. How can people live longer.B. Cutting carbon dioxide emissions saves life.C. Global warming threatens peoples livesD. People should stop relying on fossil fuels40. The new research differs from past studies in that _.A. it focuses on the immediate benefits of cutting carbon dioxide emissionsB. it studies the bad effects arising from future global warmingC. it is believed by most peopleD. it mainly targets at developing countries41. According to Hathleen Sebelius _.A. sometimes it takes years to see the bad effects caused by consuming fossil fuelsB. without greenhouse gas emissions, people would not die of cardiovascular and respiratory diseasesC. the main reason why people get sick is that they rely on fossil fuelsD. death from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are closely related to greenhouse gas emissions42. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. London and Delhi have already benefited from reducing greenhouse gas emissionsB. switching to low-polluting cars would save 160 lives in London every yearC. walking and biking instead of driving will reduce the chance of heart diseaseD. attacking health problems and dealing with climate change are contradictoryD.The brown widow spider became established in Southern California in early 2000 and has become part of the local spider family in urban Los Angeles and San Diego. The brown widow spider is continuing its expansion in Southern California and could possibly move northward into Central California. The brown widow is suspected to have evolved in Africa although it was first described from South America, which adds confusion as to where it might have originated. It is a tropical and subtropical spider having established populations in Hawaii, Florida, parts of Australia, South Africa and Japan. In North America, the brown widow was restricted for many decades to the Florida peninsula. However, around the year 2000, it started showing up in other Gulf Coast states. Brown widows are now known from Texas to Georgia and South Carolina. The brown widow builds its web in protected sites around homes and in woody vegetation with branches. Some typical sites selected by brown widows for web building are empty containers such as buckets and nursery pots, mail boxes, entry way corners, under eaves, storage closets and garages, undercarriages of motor vehicles that are stationary for long periods, and the undersides of outdoor furniture. They choose places that are more exposed than sites chosen by black widows and therefore, appear to be at higher risk for interactions with humans as far as bites are concerned. One recent study demonstrates that the brown widow spider is less poisonous than other widow species. The reason for the weaker effect of brown widow bites on humans is possibly because the brown widow does not have much poison as its larger relatives, but it is really a threat to humans as to its poison. The two major symptoms of a brown widow bite were that the bite hurt when it was given and it left a red mark. These two symptoms are not much different from the bite of normal household spiders. There is no specific information regarding the control of brown widows by farm chemicals. Most current advice is what is used for controlling spiders in general. Therefore, most commercially available farm chemicals should work on brown widows. Avoiding a mess of the house and the garage should reduce nest sites for them. Also, one should store garage items in plastic bags where there might be interactions with spiders. These items include rarely worn garments such as gardening clothes and gloves, recreational items like sports equipment (i.e., baseball gloves) and other items where spiders can crawl up into holes where fingers can be inserted. 43. The author wrote this article to _. A. announce the result of a research on spiders B. introduce the ways to get rid of the spiders C. report a new finding of the widow species D. warn readers against the brown widow 44. From the passage we can conclude that _. A. brown widows are spreading northward B. the brown widow originated from Africa C. brown widows now can be found in all countries D. there used to be no brown widows in North America 45. The third paragraph is mainly about _. A. the brown widows web building B. the characteristics of the brown widow C. the habitat preferences of the brown widow D. the brown widows threaten to human beings 46. It can be inferred that _. A. brown widows can be killed with any farm chemicals B. at present people can only control brown widow spiders C. the br
