12、n. There was a lack of attractions, with Fantasyland opening with just one dark ride. Summer Passes were announced to increase the number of tourists. Autopia, Stitch Encounter and its a Small World opened between 2006 and 2008 to offer more attractions at the Park.The number of tourists dropped in
13、2007 to just over 4 million, so Disney planned a big expansion (扩大) project to attract more tourists and bring the Park back to its normal level.

14、ractions have certainly paid off, with the Park earning record profit (盈利) in 2013.

Nobel as a young man studied with Nikolai Zinin, a well-known chemist. In 1850, he met Ascanio Sobrero, the inventor of nitroglycerin (炸药)
18、in Paris. Interested in its unpredictable nature of exploding under pressure or heat, Nobel started to find a way to control it and make a usable explosive(炸药). In 1857 he applied for his first patent (专利), an English patent for a gas meter. After years of efforts, in 1867, at the age of 34, Nobel i

22、ow he would be remembered.

It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride
27、outside and learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In fact, it caused me to panic.

This was the first big change Id ever made
28、 on my own.I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help. We went outside and got my bike.

33、ning is defined as using the cells of one living subject, plant or animal, to create another duplicate subject. A cloned subject will be the same as its parent. This technology could be useful for laboratory studies and for creating satisfying animals. 31 One of the biggest disadvantages of cloning
34、is that the technology is still so uncertain. Dolly the sheep, the first mammalian clone, was born in 1996. While she was initially successful, she died young of a disease not normally seen in sheep of her age. 32 Losing gene diversity is another disadvantage of cloning. Gene diversity is what keeps
35、 an entire species from being wiped out by a singular virus.33 If gene diversity is lost due to excessive cloning, there are no mutations to allow some of the cloned group to survive a newly introduced disease.Another of the disadvantages of cloning is that there are a lot of moral considerations th
36、at would cause most people to protest. 34 Another concern is the treatment of clones. Clones would have the same needs as non-clones of their species.

37、ing to use cloning for their own personal use, and many feel that the best way to prevent this is not to pursue cloning at all.The disadvantages of cloning are seen by many to far outweigh any benefits that might be seen. Because of the risk involved in cloning, it is a technology that many experts
38、say may be better left alone, at least until it is better understood.A. This is due to the lack of gene diversity.B. One of these ethical concerns is that cloning is unnatural.C. There is always a risk of cloning technology being abused.D. There are many advantages of cloning, for example, curing ce
39、rtain diseases.E. However, there are several disadvantages of cloning that should be considered.F. It helps to explain why some people naturally are taller, shorter, or more athletic than others.G. It is still unsure whether genetic mutations might occur when an animal is cloned.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）

53、Island.It was 6 a.m. on December 5, 2015. As a newcomer to the sport, Jason had gone caving only four times. This would be his toughest outing yet: a cave called Cascade. It was dangerous enough that the entrance was blocked by a locked metal door to keep the casual cavers out. About a mile long and
54、 338 feet deep, Cascade was full of tums and barely passable tight squeezes.Jason was new among the group, with the least experience and, at 43, older by a decade or more.

Now, in a passage that was high enough for them to walk upright, Jason saw something flicker in the distance. “Lights! I see lights!” Jason shouted out. For the first time since entering the cave, over 20 hours earlier, Jasons emotions got the best of him and tears trickled down his cheeks.
