26、My senior years, I can’t believe it is almost over. Now when I look back, it was stressful, but exciting, the ball, graduation, and then of course, college.

I started applying for my college months before Christmas. My parents told me it would be smart if I set up interviews and tours. But I wasn’t motivated. I wanted to go to college, but I didn’t want to deal with the stress.

As the days flew by, my applications lay on my desk just as I had left them three months before. “You are wasting valuable time,” my parents complained. Sweeping away the gathered dust on the applications, I worked on them every Sunday until I finished. Next came writing the essays. I had many ideas, but every school had different requirements. I changed them until I was pleased. Finally, everything was underway.

Now I just had to wait. In March, I started receiving letters of rejection. I began to think that I had set myself up for disappointment. I had a letter from Salem State College starting that they wanted to see my grades before they made their decision. Yes! At least someone wanted to consider me. At the beginning of April, I received a letter from Keens State. Those opening words: “We regret to inform you…” made me sit down and cry. I had lost all hope. Then I heard from Plymouth State. Not my first choice, but…I had been accepted. Maybe if I get my grades up, I can choose another school…

The college application hurt me deeply. All my friends had dozens of schools to choose from. I guess my parents were right. High school grades are undoubtedly important to your future plans. If I could do it all over again, I would take it more seriously.

【1】What does the sentence “We regret to inform you…” mean?

A．The writer was accepted by the college.

B．The writer couldn’t go to college forever.

C．The writer couldn’t go to any college.

D．The writer was rejected by the college.

【2】From the last paragraph, we know the writer felt ________.

A．honorable

B．regretful（遗憾的）

C．hopeless

D．happy

【3】From the text, we know that ________.

A．the writer didn’t go to a college

B．the writer thought senior years was easy

C．the writer didn’t desire to go to college.

D．the writer didn’t prepare interviews actively

【4】Why was the writer rejected by many colleges?

A．He didn’t choose a good college.

B．He got bad grades in senior years.

C．He wanted to deal with the stress.

D．Every school had different requirements.

28、Taking pressure off sports competitions

What is a competition?

29、With their furry round heads and big black eyes, Zhongzhong and Huahua look just the same as any other monkey. But they happen to be the world’s first cloned (克隆的) monkeys.

Years ago, scientists used cloning techniques to produce Dolly, the world’s first cloned mammal (哺乳动物).They now used the same technique to produce the monkeys in China.

In animal cloning, animals are produced in a lab by using DNA that is taken from the cells (细胞) of a naturally-born animal. To clone Zhongzhong and Huahua, scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS.中国科学院) first removed the nucleus (细胞核) from a monkey’s egg cell (卵细胞). They then put another nucleus taken from the monkey’s body cells into the egg cell. The newly-formed egg was put into the womb (子宫) of a female monkey. Finally, Zhongzhong and Huahua were born.

The cloning process is hard, especially removing nucleus. It needs to be done in a fast and precise (精确的) way. The faster you do it, the less damage is done to the egg, according to CAS. Scientist Liu Zhen spent three years practicing removing the nucleus.

Unlike common monkeys, cloned monkeys have the same DNA as each other. When doing experiments on them, scientists can easily know that certain results are caused by different treatments, rather than different genes.

According to Sun Qiang from CAS, most drug trials (药物试验) are done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work on humans. The two species are very different.

“Monkeys and humans are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective (有效的) as testing on humans,” Sun added.

【1】Zhongzhong and Huahua are ______.

A. naturally-born monkeys

B. the world’s first cloned mammals

C. the world’s first cloned monkeys

D. twin sheep that were born by Dolly

【2】What do we know about the two monkeys?

A. They look different from other monkeys.

B. They have the same DNA.

C. Their body cells don’t have any nucleus.

D. They can live for only three years.

【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A. Removing the nucleus is difficult.

B. The cloning process is very safe.

C. It took three years to remove the nucleus.

D. It is impossible to clone other animals.

【4】Why do scientists want to do drug tests on monkeys?

A. Because it’s easier to use them for tests.

B. Because there are not enough mice.

C. Because drugs work well on monkeys.

D. Because monkeys are similar to humans.

30、With an old wallet in his hand, a beggar was asking for some coins to buy something to eat along the street. He kept wondering why those who had so much money were never relaxed (放松的)and were always desiring (渴望)more. “If I had enough to______and to wear, I wouldn’t want anything more.” he said.

“Never______. It’s still strong enough, ” answered the beggar.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A Vacation with My Mother

I had an interesting childhood. It was filled with surprise and amusements, all because of my mother-loving, sweet, yet absent-minded and forgetful. One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells us a lot about her.

My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota, and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way. As the first day of our tip approached, David, my eight-year-old brother, and I unwillingly said good-bye to all of our friends. Who knew if we'd ever see them again! Finally, the moment of our departure arrived, and we loaded suitcases, books, games, camping equipment, and a tent into the car and bravely drove off. We bravely drove off again two hours later after we'd returned home to get the purse and traveler's checks Mom had forgotten.

David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept: "You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨)while I go, and I will stand outside the door and play lookout while you go." I had terrible pictures in my mind: "Honey, where are the kids?" "What?! Oh，Gosh I thought they were being awfully quiet." We were never actually left behind in a stange city, but we were't about to take any chances.

On the fourth or fifth night, we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy. After driving in vain for some time, Mom suddenly got a great idea: Why didn't we find a house with a likely-looking backyard and asked if we could set up tent there? David and I became nervous. To our great relief, Dad turned down the idea. Mom never could understand our objections(反对). If a strange family showed up on her front doorstep, Mom would have been delighted. She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is. We finally found a vacancy in the next town.

Paragraph I

The next day we remembered the brand new(崭新)tent we brought with us,
