He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Fortunately he had a strong-w
10、illed (意志坚强的) caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.”She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success, ”she said. “All the people who work hard dont succeed, but the
11、 only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work dont mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.Chicago i
12、n 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. Johns mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of wordsas an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine fo
13、r blacks.While others discouraged him, Johns mother offered him more words to live by.“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became
14、very successful. He always keeps his mothers words in mind.“Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in Americaworth $ 150 million.21.

The story mainly tells us
17、_.A. how John H. Johnson became successfulB. about the mental (心理的) support Johns mother gave himC. about the importance of a good educationD. about the key to success for blacksBAfter a couple has had their first child, to their disappointment they became infertile and couldnt have more children. C
18、loning would enable such a couple to have a second child, perhaps a younger twin to the child they already have. Many couples have difficulty having children, and sometimes it is impossible for couples to have children because they are infertile. Cloning would allow these couples to have children.It
19、 is hard to tell someone that they cannot use cloning to have children when no other possible ways to have children are available. This is one reason why it is difficult to decide whether cloning is moral or not. The following are some of the reasons why cloning should be allowed.Through cloning, re
20、search can progress. We possibly can learn more about cell. We may develop technology to allow easier genetic testing and fixing problems such as spinal cord injuries, cancer, and many more.Cloning organs for organ transplants (移植) is one of the major practical reasons that cloning should be allowed
21、. There is always a high demand for organs. Some argue for the cloning of humans to create extra body parts. Others talk of just wanting to clone an organ to replace a faulty organ.Rejuvenation (恢复青春) is also a key argument for advocates (提倡) of cloning. Some scientists believe that injecting cloned
22、 healthy heart cells into damaged heart tissue will lead to healing of the heart. By combining the technology for cloning and the technology for growing human stem cells, conditions like Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and some other ageing disease may be curable. The possibilities are endless and may be le
23、ft undiscovered if human cloning is forbidden.25.

24、hould be allowed?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.27. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Cloning babies for infertile couples is moral.B. Through cloning, research work in cells can make great progress.C. Cloning cells can make some diseases concerning ageing curable.D. Cloning technology may help
25、improve medical technology.28. From the passage, we can know the writers attitude toward human cloning is _.A. negativeB. supportiveC. uninterestedD. opposingCAfter years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transport
26、ed to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves. Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically d
27、isappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around. The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations major food sources (来源) for the wolf grew rapidly. These animals consumed large a
28、mounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park s red foxes, and completely drove away the park s beavers. As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to cons
29、ider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets. The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce t
30、he wolves. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red fores have made a comeback. The Yellows
31、tone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well. 29. What is the text mainly about?A.

33、s income. C. Preservation of vegetation. D. An increase in the variety of animals. 32. What is the authors attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving.D. Uncaring. DSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you conside
34、r that hes an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thi
35、n film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like
36、 Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be
37、 ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However
38、, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists dont dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the s
39、ame reusable bags for years.33. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales. B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off trucks.D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.34. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite ex
40、pensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.35. What is the best title for the test?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste Control第二节（共5小
