Thats a move similar to what a Texas A&M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark”. Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos（胚胎）, semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen（氮）. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A&Ms College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct in over 100years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese White rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal(受体动物）.The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete. “The nuclear transfer（核子移植）of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem. ”Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy. It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could begroundbreakingscience if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort, ”adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the project at Texas A&M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog. “They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. Its a research that is very much needed”.8. The aim of “Noahs Ark” project is to _. A. clone the endangered pandas B. implant an embryo into a host animal C. save endangered animals from dying out D. collect and research into DNA of endangered animals9. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of_. A. host animals B. enough money C. qualified researchers D. available panda eggs10. The underlined word “groundbreaking” in Paragraph 6 probably means _. A. unexpected B. essentially new C. experienced D. highly satisfying11. The best title for the passage may be _. A. Chinas Success in Pandas Cloning B. The First Cloned Panda in the World C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas D. China-the Native Place of Pandas ForeverDSome parts of the garden are for the rest of the world to admire. Others are for you to disappear to when you dont want to be found. Of course, thats easy enough to arrange when you have lots of land with space for the kids to run round and cosy garden rooms for the adults to enjoy. But when your garden is on the small side,you might think itsa tall order. Well, youre wrong. To create a secret garden, people tend to take the routine: surrounding a small garden with high fences and then placing a lawn（草坪）in the middle and borders round the edge. Far from making the most of the area, that just makes it look a lot smaller and more boring. Dividing it up makes much more use of your space and means you can have your practical family area plus a secret garden. When youre searching for the perfect secret site within your existing set-up, consider your present favourite spot. A secret garden needs to be special一a complete contrast to the more practical family parts of the garden. Perhaps you take a folding chair down to a quiet corner that gets evening sun; maybe you sit and watch the pond or simply slip out to the patio（露台）with a glass of wine. Its quite easy to change an existing favourite feature into a secret place. You could top the patio with a pergola（棚架）pole and plant a grapevine for shade, or position a bench overlooking the pond and plant bamboos to screen it from the rest of the garden. The areas you create neednt all to be the same size一or even the same style一but if youre planning a major redesign, take your time and work it out on paper before committing time and money. Then when its done, youll really be able to relax and enjoy it.12. What assumption lies behind this passage? A. Grapevine are widely used as shade in gardens. B. Parents need their own space in the garden C. Family members should share everything. D. Gardens are different in size and style.13. The underlined phrase a tall order (in Paragraph 1) probably means A. a difficult task. B. a costly decision. C. an unwise attempt. D. an unfair business.14. Whats the authors solution for a cozy space in a small garden? A. Place a lawn in the middle. B. Build borders around the lawn. C. Surround the garden with high fences. D. Have a separate space within the garden.15Whats the authors purpose in writing the passage? A. To offer tips on a small getaway in the garden. B. To share personal experience in gardening. C. To recommend best plants for small gardens. D. To advertise some new designs of gardens.第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题，满分10分）Many people look forward to the holiday season, which provides an opportunity to take a few days off, or go on a getaway. 16The combined effort of shopping,attending social events, and entertaining guests can quickly become too much to handle. 17This means you may end up with financial pressure. To prevent stress over money, plan ahead; review your finances, and come up with a practical budget.Purchases shouldnt affect your ability to pay your bills, nor should it result in costly credit card debt. The holiday season is stressful when. you have too much on your plate. 18You actually neednt cancel your plans, but make sure everything doesnt have to be perfect, and you dont have to do everything yourself- get your family involved. A holiday season is not always an interval of true relaxation: Sometimes it can mean a lot of rushing around with confusion; allowing you no moment alone. 19Even as little as 15 minutes alone can make a world of difference as you need to take a breather and clear your mind! Being in close quarters with your family members for a long holiday can be stressful in itself. Because of your different personalities, it may be easy to rub each other the wrong way. If you let every remark get under your skin, youll be stressed out the entire time. 20Dont let the actions of others rob you of your joy.A.Holidays and expenses go hand in hand.B.So do remember to make time for yourselfC.Set aside your differences and agree to disagree.D.There are a lot of expectations around the holidays.E.But the holiday season can also be a very stressful time.F.You do not actually realize it is a great relief to your tight mood.G.This is especially true if you host family parties for out-of-town guests.第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题，满分30分）Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To 21this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that its fun to share with others a lesson I needed to 22myself as well, as it 23.One evening Danae had24afriend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a childrens card game called Go Fish. That evening, after Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, Id like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. Theyre her favorites.”She held up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to 25that I didnt want her to give them away because then our 26wouldnt be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae 27. I thought perhaps she didnt understand that when she gave something away, it was gone28. So I tried again, saying, “Once you give the cards to her, you cant 29them back tomorrow.”A look of 30came over Danaes face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to 31. But then she smiled and said. “Well, thats okay; I want her to have them anyway.” What could I say to that? I sat 32for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to ask her to share. Did it 33that our Go Fish set would be 34? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the 35of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isnt that what life is all about?21AachieveBapplyCreceiveDget22AdesignBknowCcreateDreview23Aturned upBturned awayCturned toDturned out24AbeggedBencouragedCinvitedDfound25AsuggestBexplainCrespondDteach26AthingBcardCsetDtoy27ArecommendedBinsistedCannouncedDcried28AsurelyBsuddenlyCforeverDindeed29Aask forBcall forClook forDcare of30AsurpriseBconcernCdelightDsatisfaction31AunderstandBacceptCrefuseDdoubt32AsadlyBangrilyCquietlyDslowly33AworkBmeanCremindDmatter34AincompleteBlostClimitedDgone35AcontentBusefulnessCwayDjoy第二节 语法填空（10小题，满分10分）Mr. Johnson lived in the woods with his wife and children.

Luckily3. for4. was left5. when6. fell7. without8. to sell9. where10. him解析:1. 本题考查冠词。此处表达“他拥有一个农场”，泛指“一个”应用不定冠词。又因为farm为辅音音标开头，故用a，故正确答案为a。2. 本题考查副词。分析句子可知，空格在句首，用逗号和主句隔开，是对整个句子进行修饰，因此要用lucky的副词形式luckily。此处表达“幸运的是，他还有一头奶牛每天都可以挤奶”。又因为此空在句首，所以luckily的首字母要大写。故正确答案为Luckily。3. 本题考查介词。此处表达“他在小镇周边以贩卖或交换他的牛奶来获取其他东西”，for表示“为了的目的”，故正确答案为for。4. 本题考查动词时态。结合全文时态可知，本篇文章表述均为一般过去时，且此处描述的是过去的一般性动作，故应采用一般过去时，又由文意可知，Mr.Johnson是用被剩下来的牛奶制作乳酪和奶油，leave与牛奶之间是动宾关系，应使用被动语态，故wasleft符合文意，此处with后跟随的是what引导的宾语从句，相当于一个名词。此处如果要使用非谓语动词的话，必须将what换成something之后才可以使用。故正确答案为wasleft。5. 本题考查时间状语从句。此处表达“当开始下大雨时，这头牛正在吃草”，表示从句动作发生的时候，主句主语正在做某事，应用连词when，故正确答案为when。6. 本题考查动词的时态。此处表达“她滚下山摔死了”，根据动词died可知，这个动作发生在过去，且为过去一般性的动作，故此处应用fall的一般过去时fell。故正确答案为fell。7. 本题考查介词。此处表达“Johnsons不能依靠奶牛谋生了”，根据前文可知奶牛摔死了，现在Johnsons家里没有奶牛了。故正确答案为without。8. 本题考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，谓语动词为started，空格应用sell的非谓语动词形式。此处表达“他开始砍树，去卖木头谋生”。动词不定式表示目的。故正确答案为tosell。9. 本题考查定语从句。此处表达“镇上的人们经常去的集市”，横线后的从句为定语从句修饰先行词market，从句部分主语和宾语语法成分完整，缺少地点的含义，故选关系副词where引导。故正确答案为where。10. 本题考查固定搭配。此处表达“现在他忽然意识到他的农场具有更大的潜能”。“Itoccurredtosb.that.”为固定搭配，意为“使某人突然想起”，介词to后加宾格。故正确答案为him。7 短文改错答案1basketball前加a2.turned前was去掉3. excited-exciting4.Player- Players5.cheered- cheering6. narrowly- narrow7.and-but8.which-that9.They- We10. count- counts写作答案Dear Sir/Madam， I am Li Hua，a student from Xinhua Middle SchoolI am writing to apply to be a volunteer for the international meeting to be held in our city next month（高分句型一） I think I am qualified for the postFirstly，I speak English fluently，which would enable me to communicate with foreign guests freely（高分句型二）Secondly，I am friendly and outgoing，so I get along well with others easilyMore importantly，I traveled to Europe last summer，so I am familiar with western culturesIf I am given the chance to broaden my horizons and meet people from all over the world，I will spare no effort to offer my best service（高分句型三）I hope I will be accepted as a volunteer Looking forward to your early reply!
