26、ont gate.The man knew his sand. He smoothly finished some surfaces and carved artistic designs on others. As the shapes began to dry, he gently kept them slightly wet with water from the spray bottle, in case they might break in the wind.All this took hours. People gathered. At last he stood back, o
27、bviously satisfied with a castle worthy of the Austrian countryside or Disneyland.Then he gathered his tools and radio and moved them up to drier sand. He had known for a while what many in the crowd still ignored: the tide was coming in. Not only had he practiced his art with confidence and style,
28、he also had done so against a powerful, irresistible (不可抵抗的) deadline.As the crowd looked on, water came at the base of the castle. In minutes it was surrounded. Then the rising flood began to eat into the base, walls fell, the tower fell, and finally the gate fell. More minutes passed, and small wa
29、ves erased bay windows soon no more than a small part was left.Many in the crowd looked terribly sad; some voiced fear and discouragement. But the man remained calm. He had, after all, had a wonderful day, making beauty out of nothing, and watching it return to nothing as time and tide moved on.语篇解读
30、：一位年轻人来到沙滩上做沙雕，潮水袭来，美丽的沙雕被浪吞噬。人们感叹沙雕就这样没了，但年轻人并不悲观，因为他见证了沙雕从无到有，从有到无的过程。21In this passage, why did the young man start early in the day?AHe needed the sun to help dry the sand.BIt gave plenty of time for the crowd to gather.CHe knew the tide was out on this particular morning.DIt was easier to begin
31、 his work with only a few people around.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段句子“. the tide (潮水) was out and switched on the radio .

32、 days work.CIt is the busiest time of the day.DIt is time for lookerson to leave.解析：选B细节理解题。根据倒数第三段句子“He had known for a while . the tide was coming in . he also had done so against a powerful, irresistible (不可抵抗的) deadline.”可知，虽然众人不知道但年轻人很清楚潮水正在袭来，所以他不仅用他的艺术作品体现了自己的自信与风格，而且战胜了潮水袭来之前的有限时间。所以答案选B，年轻人
33、创作完沙雕，结束了一天的工作，潮水也正在袭来。23How did the lookerson react when the tide began to come in?AThey were disappointed to see the art ruined.BThey tried their best to save the sand castle.CThey were nervous about their own belongings.DThey helped the artist finish the castle.解析：选A细节理解题。根据文章最后一段开头句子“Many in the

35、ut of nothing, and watching it return to nothing .”可知，年轻人很镇静，很满足，因为他见证了沙雕从无到有，从有到无的整个过程。所以他从自己的作品中得到的回报就是自我满足感。因此答案选B。BI think people everywhere dream about having lots of money. I know I do.

36、h lotteries. People pay money for tickets with numbers.

My friend was always very careful with the money he spent. In fact, he was often a cheapskate. He did not like to spend money. The worst times we
38、re when he had no single penny left.One day, Al scraped together a few dollars for a lottery ticket. He thought he would never gain lots of money unexpectedly. But his combination of numbers was chosen and he won the lottery. Al was so excited. The first thing he did was buy a costly new car one thi
39、ng that he normally would not buy. Then he started spending money on unnecessary things. It was like he had “money to burn”When we got together for a meal at a restaurant, Al paid every time. He would always tell me the money made him feel like a millionaire. But, Al spent too much money. Soon he wa
40、s “down and out” again. He had spent his “bottom dollar” his very last amount. He did not even save any of the money.I admit I do feel sorry for my friend. He had enough money to “live like a king”. Instead, he was back to “living on a shoestring” a very low budget. Some might say he was wise about
41、small things, but not about important things.25What does the author desire to do like others?ATo combine the numbers perfectly.BTo make a huge fortune.CTo be chosen for selling lotteries.DTo get in touch with millionaires.解析：选B细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“I know I do.

46、scientists used fossils to follow the evolution of horses from their earliest appearance 56 million years ago.As temperatures went up, their size went down, and vice versa (反之亦然); at one point they were as small as a house cat, said Dr Jonathan Bloch, curator (馆长) of the Florida Museum of Natural Hi
47、story, was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying.The scientists say that the current warming could have the same effect on mammals and could even make humans smaller.“Horses started out small, about the size of a small dog like a miniature schnauzer (雪纳瑞犬). Whats surprising is that after they first app
48、eared, they then became even smaller and then dramatically increased in size, and that exactly corresponds to the global warming event, followed by cooling. It had been known that mammals were small during that time and that it was warm, but we hadnt understood that temperature specifically was driv
49、ing the evolution of body size，” Dr Bloch said in the Science journal.语篇解读：科学家研究发现，地球温度的变化影响着哺乳动物身体的大小，继而发出警告，全球变暖可能会使人类变矮。29How did the scientists find out the evolution of horses?ABy using fossils.BBy following the horses.CBy heating up.DBy studying cats.解析：选A细节理解题。根据文章第三段可知，科学家用化石来追溯马从5 600万年前诞生至

51、said?AAs temperatures went down, the size of horses went down.BHorses first appeared small, then smaller and then became big.CHorses becoming smaller was connected with the global cooling.DHorses will be as small as a house cat in the end.解析：选B细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知，布洛赫博士在科学杂志中写道：“马最初的个头很小，和一只小狗的个头差不多，大约也
52、就像一只迷你型雪纳瑞犬那么大。令人惊讶的是，在马诞生后过了一段时间，它们的个头变得更小，之后个头又显著变大。”故选项B正确。32What would be the best title for the passage?AGlobal warming could make humans shorterBScientists from Florida and NebraskaCHorses used to be like catsDDr Jonathan Bloch解析：选A标题归纳题。科学家们研究发现地球温度的变化影响着哺乳动物体型的大小，继而科学家发出警告，全球变暖可能会使人类变矮。故选项A作
53、为标题最佳。D“Ive never met a human worth cloning，” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. “Its a stupid endeavor.” Thats an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13yearold dog named
54、Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy later this year or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of mans best friend is one of the mysteries of modern
55、 science.Westhusins experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missyplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missys DNA. None have survived the tr
56、ansfer to a surrogate mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses may be acceptable when youre dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous，” he says.Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, wit
57、h a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusins phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missys mysterious owner, who wishes to remain unknown to protect his privacy. Hes plopped down $3.7 million
58、so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missys fine qualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missys owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clone differs from Miss
59、y.”The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusins work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems. “Why would you ever
60、want to clone humans，” Westhusin asks, “when were not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet？” 33Which of the following is TRUE about animal cloning?AFew private cloning companies could afford it.BFew people have realized its significance.CAn exact copy of a cat or bull can be made.DIt i
61、s becoming a prosperous industry.解析：选D理解细节题。第三段首句提到，克隆狗是能带来丰厚科研报酬的商机。下文无论是提到动物医学院频繁接到的电话，还是举出一掷千金想克隆爱犬的富人的例子都是为了说明首句的观点。因此D项正确。34From the passage we can infer that _.AMr. Westhusin is going to clone a dog soonBscientists are pessimistic about human cloningChuman reproductive system has not been unde
62、rstoodDrich people are only interested in cloning animals解析：选B推理判断题。文章一开始就引用专家威斯苏森的话，指出克隆人是愚蠢的尝试。第二段最后两句提到，克隆实验的低效性和危险性在克隆人中不可接受。文章末尾再次引用该专家的话，指出现在动物的研究还没成功，没有必要想到克隆人。由此可见以威斯苏森为代表的科学家对克隆人是持悲观态度的。B项为正确项。35Mr. Westhusin seems to believe that cloning _.Ais stupid and should be abandonedBhas been close
63、to successCshould be taken cautiouslyDis now in a dilemma解析：选C观点态度题。注意题干问的是“克隆”，它包括了克隆人和克隆动物两个方面。第二段末句中，威斯苏森先生强调了克隆的低效性和危险性；文末他又指出，克隆动物的研究还没有接近成功时，更别提克隆人。因此，C项概括了他对于克隆的整体态度。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。Public Speaking TrainingGet a coach_36_， so get help.
