a.it may help improve human well-being. b.it could contribute to the rising birthrate. c.it could help animals survive deadly diseases. d.it may enable scientists to better study extinct species.33.according to the text,cloning can also be used for_. a.organ transplant b.solving the aging problem c.infectious disease treatment d.constructing a gene database34.whats one problem cloning may cause? a.great diversity. b.individual security risk. c.increased improper conduct. d.serious personality disorder.35.why are twins mentioned in the last paragraph? a.to stress twinssimilarities. b.to show twins are quite common. c.to carry out deeper research on twins. d.to better illustrate what a clone will be like.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。the envelope systemone of the beot financial moves i made was lcaming how to live within a budgst. 36 however, it helped our family save more than 55,000 for a vacatica to dioneyworldin less than a yea.1. 37 plastic(信用卡）makes it eary to spend your money.very few people,cspecially when theyre just learmingto live ontheiroun, hve the god wayslo lep ledscn (账目）and say within a budget. the envelope metheod helps you:underpstand where your moncy really soes.spend only what you plan to.save for gouls and unexpected expense.2.safety nctif you put $450 into the envelope matked gwoceries,thats what you have for the month and when its gone its gone! for the fint couple of months you may want to create a safety net envelope so you wont be stuck eating peanut butter from a spoon for the last few days before you get paid again. 38 3.kecp your spending betwen the lines 39 if you plan to go grocery shopping,take only the amount you want to spend,and write down date and how much you took on the outside of the cnvelope,this prevents you from spending more than planned.4.successthe first time we took our kids to disney world we made the trip on tense bodget 40 four years later we decided to do it again.although our income had inceascd,it wasnt by much and we were still able to go on vacation with $5,000 in casha.how the envelope system worksb.the envelope system is no magic trick.c.deeide where you want the money to go in the futured.we cut costs every possible way just to make the trip happen.e.its best to lcave the envelopes at home only taking cash out for a specitfic expense.fof course wedidnt spend nearly that much,but wehad worked too hard to save it.c.as you get better at budssing you can reduce the amount that goes into the safety envelope.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的a、b、c和d四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。rick snyder, a 69-year-old resident of manatee county, florida, refused to sit still after he retired. 41, he turned to one of his passions outside of work: 42 for the cats living throughout his community. he has always liked animals. hes been taking care of cats for years and he started 43 a lot of change lying around. so he started picking it up and keeping 44 of it.snyder has 45 to collect $21,495 in loose change weighing more than 1 ton since he got the 46 more than 10 years ago. waking up around 4 a.m. each day, snyder would gather coins along his way to take care of the cats. he 47 anywhere between 45 and 48 miles each week and 48 an average of $5.60 in change each day. snyder said hed like to thank the many who are too lazy to 49 a penny.after beginning the collection, snyder 50 an initial goal of $10,000 for himself. once he surpassed his 51 goal of $20,000, however, he decided to 52 it all away to the gulf shore animal league. cheryl wade, the president of the organization said that snyders 53 is the largest they have ever received from a single individual. with the change, the league will be able to 54 adopting cats.then, snyder and volunteers from all walks of life 55 to move the coins from his 151 peanut jars to plastic bags that could be 56 to the local bank. after this initial donation has been 57, snyder continues to gather abandoned pocket change throughout manatee county and prepared his next 58 that will help more cats.cheryl wade teaches by 59:we need to do something for someone else. never 60 the true value of a handful of pocket change.41.a.therefore b.instead c.however d.besides42.a.looking b.preparing c.trading d.caring43.a.leaving b.saving c.noticing d.throwing44.a.track b.signal c.information d.mind45.a.decided b.tried c.managed d.expected46.a.idea b.chance c.work d.message47.a.dr
