safety of cloned animals.the food and drug administration says meat and milk from clones of adult animals are safe to eat. they called them “as safe to eat as the food we eat every day.” and when those clones reproduce sexually(有性繁殖), the agency says, their offspring(后代)are safe to eat as well.the united states this year could become the first country to allow the sale of foods from cloned animals. first，however，the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. on december 28th the f.d.a. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents. the agency says it must receive comments by april 2nd. the f.d.a. seemed ready to act several years ago，but an advisory committee called for more research.for now，the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they do not sell foods from cloned animals.clones are still rare. they cost a lot and are difficult to produce. the f.d.a. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves, but from their sexually reproduced offspring. it says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.public opinion studies show most americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals. but this research also shows the public know little about cloning. cloning differs from genetic engineering. a cell taken from a socalled donor animal is grown into an embryo(胚胎)in the laboratory. next, the embryo is placed into the uterus(子宫)of a female animal. if the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches its full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.21. from the passage, we know _.a. the us government is very cautious about the safety of cloned foodsb. foods from cloned animals are popular in americac. cloned animals will be easy to produced. most foods from cloning are expected to come from clones themselves22. who believes that foods from cloning are safe to eat?a. most americans. b. an advisory committee. c. critics. d. the f.d.a. .23. it can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.a. cloning has much in common with genetic engineeringb. not every cell taken from a donor animal can grow into a genetic copyc. the donor animal should be a female oned. cloned animals grow faster than normal ones24. whether the sale of cloned foods is allowed in the us depends on _.a. cloning technology b. the advisory committees researchc. public comments d. the documents of the f.d.a.bi am 26. im clear that im never going to catch up with mother teresa. but i want to do something to help people every single day like her.everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. the safety training is serious and stressful. caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. i had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and i used a fire extinguisher (灭火器) to put out the fire. if something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. but if something happens up in the air, its up to us.im single and have no kids. ive flown every christmas since 1995. if i fly, someone else can be with their kids. christmas in an airport can be depressing, but its the little things that make a difference.were not robots. its hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isnt. ive seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). at the end of a 14-hour flight, its like, “it was really nice to help you, but im ready for you to get off the plane.” those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. you cant wait to turn off the flight attendants voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “excuse me.”sometimes i go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you.” when you say thank you, its huge. it makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. were up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle (奇迹) of the modern flight.25. whats the authors attitude towards mother teresa?a. grateful.b. fearful.c. doubtful.d. admiring. 26. how did the author like her roommates job?a. it was the same as hers.b. it was more interesting than hers.c. it was easier than hers.d. it was more serious than hers.27. why does the author fly every christmas?a. because she has nowhere to go.b. because shes trying to be a helpful co-worker.c. because she owes her co-workers some favors.d. because shed like to earn more money.28. what does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “were not robots”?a. flight attendants are not stronger than robots.b. flight attendants also experience emotions.c. flight attendants get tired while robots dont.d. flight attendants need to rest now and then.cwhile you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case.this problem starts back in school when the stressful “group projects” are first assigned .the smartest dont want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that an average student does his part well. they just take over and do the whole project themselves.and thus begins the smart-people work cycle. the smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. they are not better; they are screwed(束缚). a smart person who cant stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. then, he is stuck with the one-man band “job-business” and ends up not being able to grow. however, it is quite interesting and strange that some slackers(偷懒的人) are better suited to be a business leader than the “smart” people. they figured out early on to surround themselves with smart people who would do the work that they themselves dont want to do.smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. they dont like to follow the kiss principle (keep it simple, stupid), which is required to make a business succeed. maybe you think the global presence of mcdonalds complex, but in fact, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy-to-follow steps and everything has been standardized. these successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that cant be screwed up by their average employees. so, being smart or talented isnt going to help you unless you can use your talent to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful.another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose. the smarter you are, the more choices you have available to you. you will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have room in your career to become promoted. this means that when you start a business, you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart. this is often referred to as the “golden handcuffs” dilemma.so, dont be surprised when the person “most likely to succeed” from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.29. in group work, smart students often take over the whole project because they believe _.a. the work is not divided equally b. they can perform better than others c. the group projects are too stressful d. average students are unwilling to take part 30. mcdonalds is used as an example to prove that _.a. a business calls for smart peoples talent b. average employees can perform complex tasksc. smart people are important for a successful businessd. simplified tasks are required for the success of a business31. the underlined expression in paragraph 5 refers to the situation where smart people _.a. have fewer choices in a company b. risk more when starting business c. are unwilling to put money to a business d. can have a good income in many different fields32. what is the best title for the passage?a. potentials for success b. bases for businessc. the ordinary achieve bigger success? d. talent means successful business?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。(请将答案写在答题卷上。)there is difference between reading for information and reading for understanding. 33 the first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. 34 such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. and clearly we dont have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.the second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. the writer is communicating something that can increase the readers understanding. 35 otherwise one person could never learn from another. here, learning means understanding more, not remembering more information.what are the conditions in this kind of reading? first, there is inequality in understanding. 36 besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. and he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. if the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved. 37 it is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. in fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.a. the writer should have a better communicating skill.b. such communication between unequals must be possible.c. we can get access to the content of those materials easily.d. the writer must be superior to the reader in understanding.e. thus, we can employ the word reading in two different senses.f. reading for entertainment can increase our understanding of information.g. besides gaining information and understanding, theres another goal of reading entertainment.第三部分 英语知识运用( i ) -完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c 和 d）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。 a terrifying

are able to52entire oceans without losing much energy. one of the most striking53about tsunamis is that an earthquake on one side of the pacific ocean can cause giant waves and destruction on the other side. when the ocean is deep, tsunamis can travel unnoticed54speeds of up to 800 kilometers per hour. the wave may only be a few meters high in the ocean. 55when it is near the shore and reaches shallow (浅) water, the wave 56 very quickly in height. witnesses(目击者) in some areas of indonesia reported seeing up to 10-metre high waves crash into the shore.tsunamis travel57in all directions from
