When she stepped into the house from the front door, she could tell that something was wrong but she couldnt point a finger at exactly
2、what it was. Just as she was about to dash out to find Josh, the little boy ran from behind her back, straight into the house for his toys. Thats when she heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Her heart missed a beat. Knowing that Joshs parents were not home, she ran inside the house, caught the l
3、ittle boy swiftly and headed straight for the gate. She hit the neighbors door heavily to seek help and called the police. When David William returned home and checked the monitor, what he saw scared the life out of him. A strongly built middle-aged stranger walked around the house and searched ever
4、y corner, being careful not to miss any valuables. And the most frightening for David was to see him even slipping into Joshs room. It was also terrifying to see that he was on his phone with someone guiding him on what to do. When Elizabeth opened the front door, he realized it was time to leave. H

9、 was one of the greatest men of the nineteenth century. In 1846, Thomas Henry Huxley was appointed an assistant doctor aboard HMS Rattlesnake. The ship had been asked to survey areas of the Great Barrier Reef and the neighboring seas. This gave Thomas Henry Huxley an opportunity to study animal life
10、 and was the start of his biological career. The voyage lasted four years, during which time he gathered much information on plankton(浮游生物). On his return from the voyage, Thomas Henry Huxley was made a member of the Royal Society in recognition of his scientific work. Although he continued to publi
11、sh papers about plankton, his interest was turning towards vertebrate (有脊椎的) animals. For some time Thomas Henry Huxley and his workmates had been discussing the possibility that animal species had evolved (进化), one from another. No satisfactory theories had been put forward, but in 1859 Darwins The
12、 Origin of Species appeared. Thomas Henry Huxley at once realized its importance and how the theory of natural selection provided the working hypothesis (假说)we sought. For the rest of his life Thomas Henry Huxley struggled to ensure the full recognition of Darwins work. In 1863, Thomas Henry Huxley
13、published Mans Place in Nature in which he compared man and great apes(猿). He clearly showed similarities. Despite his many achievements, he was given no award by the British state until late in his life. From about 1870, Thomas Henry Huxley was too involved in other things to continue actual resear
14、ch. He had always been interested in education. He pioneered the teaching of biology and his method of selecting type animals is still followed today. He spent the last ten years of his life writing essays mainly on biology.4Why did Huxley go on the voyage?ATo explore the deep sea.BTo do research on

16、s evidence about the evolution of man from apes.6What can we learn about Huxley from the last paragraph?AHe contributed a lot to biology teaching.BHe continued his research till his death.CHe became a good novelist late in his life.DHe never got awards for his achievements The birth of Britains firs
17、t cloned dog has been considered “a waste of money” and scientists said the process raised serious ethical (伦理的) concerns.Sooam Biotech, a company in Seoul, said it had cloned the puppy, named Mini-Winnie, from a 12-year-old dog belonging to Rebecca Smith, who lives in the west London. She had won a
18、 contest run by the company which hoped to sell the service to pet owners for 60,000 pounds a time.Mini-Winnie was born after scientists took skin cells from Mr Smiths pet and dropped them into donor eggs to make embryos (胚胎). The puppy must remain in Korea for six months to satisfy British quaranti
19、ne (检疫) laws.But researchers warned that while a cloned dog might look similar to its biological parent, it would be a very different animal. “You would have many chances of replicating (复制) your favorite pet by choosing one from Battersea Dogs Home,” said Robin Lovell-Badge, a geneticist at the Nat
20、ional Institute for Medical Research in London. Dusko Ilic, a stem cell scientist at Kings College London, said, “It is extremely unlikely that a puppy cloned from a favorite pet will behave in the same way. As time passes by, the differences will be more and more pronounced, especially personality
21、traits. It is an absolute waste of money.”The cloning process is controversial (有争论的) because the animals are often born with diseases or die soon after birth.I think, its unnecessary to try to clone pets for pet owners. First, its really costly. Second, the cloned pet is actually another dog. Third
22、, there are many homeless dogs for people to adopt in shelters. So why not just adopt a dog instead?7What may be the reason for Sooam Biotechs work on cloning pets?ATo pay back to society.BTo make money out of it.CTo comfort sad pet owners.DTo win an important contest.8Why doesnt the cloned dog ente
23、r Britain now?ABecause people in Britain are against it.BBecause the company is afraid that it will die.CBecause it needs to stay in Korea for research.DBecause British quarantine laws dont allow it.9What can we learn from what Dusko Ilic said in paragraph4?ACloned pets are usually not lovely.BClone
24、d pet can be very disappointing.CIts possible to replicate ones favorite pet.DA pet dog looks similar to its biological parent.10According to Paragraph 5, why is the cloning process controversial?AIt is costly.BIt is too difficult.CIt can spread diseases.DThe result is unsatisfactory.二、七选五 There are

The best and the most valuable things cannot be seen or touched for they must be felt with heart.
