This is the kind of statistic that 41 love, but it doesn’t really tell us anything about why so many people like to buy so many things online.Is it because its easy? Is it because of the 42 selection? Is it because we want to feel 43 to others without leaving the ho use?Taobao was in fact a 44 to ebay’s entrance into the Chinese market in 2003.

Sometimes it is a hot to pic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure seriou s diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, s uch as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have n ot found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technolo gy is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured complet ely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their d iseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well . In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to healthy and cl ever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the fa mily disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the p ast, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But ge ne technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist jus t need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used t o manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal w ay. Of course, the government must take care to control gene t echnology.66. What does “these two killers” in the second paragraph refer to?A. Gene technology and another treatment of the two disease s.B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby.C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease.D. Hereditary diseases and cancer.67. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.C. Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out.68. In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary di seases?A. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases ca n have more living days.B. Using gene technology, the scientist finds the wrong gene a nd corrects it.C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.69. What is the main purpose of writing this passage?A. Expressing the write r’s idea that gene technology will benefi t people.B. Telling people the disadvantages of gene technology.C. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit peo ple.D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the hu manity.BHomestay provides English language students with the opportu nity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and a dvice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the tra nsport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as muc h of central is commercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 of ten offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is ver y convenient to travel in by underground.Meal Plans Available♢ Continental Breakfast♢ Breakfast and Dinner♢ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt’s important to note that few English families still provide a trad itional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Contine ntal Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are no t normally part of a Continental Breakfast in . Dinners usually co nsist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit an d coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a fa mily home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy .Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and o ften a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an i ndependent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atm osphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those wh o need to practice English at home quite as much.70.

Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and tha t things generally turn out for the best? Do you believe that if so mething is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You maybe successful at work and in love.But you may be misguided because things don’t turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example, you may fail to obtain a new job; another c hance will come around soon). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams (砰然关上) in your face. That’s bitter reality. Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimist s (悲观者) have suspected all along. It’s called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimi sm can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strate gy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for the things by setting low outcomes for themselve s. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and pl an for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a se nse of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What’s interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situatio n’s outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimist s prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to ha ve a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” And “Don’t co unt your chickens until they hatch.” To have a confident and opt imistic approach to life’s problems is good. But listen to what W oody Alien, the American comedian says, “Confidence is what y ou have before you understand the proble m.”There are pros and cons（利与弊） to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don’t feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and h ook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.74. What’s the passage mainly about?A. The benefits of defensive pessimism.B. A book that has recently been published.C. The dangers of being too optimistic.D. How to become successful in life.75. The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science” (Para.4) means __________.A. there is no real proofB. it is quite simple to understandC. the cost is not so highD. it’s not a danger ous thing to do76. Which of the following English expressions would a defensi ve pessimist believe?A. Whatever will be, will be.B. The glass is half full not half empt y.C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.D. Every cloud has a silver lining.77. We can infer from the passage that the writer is probably __ ________.A. a realistB. an optimistC. a defeat istD. a scientistSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Stress for a teenager is as real a problem as stress for an adult. Therefore, it’s important to understand the causes of stress in t eenagers.When parents change their jobs or if the family decides to mo ve to a different place, the child has to change schools, find ne w friends, adapt to the new social circle and fit into new groups. It is always difficult for children to adapt to such changes, whic h can be a serious cause of stress in their life.Academic difficulties, such as inability to understand a certain s ubject can cause stress. Not every child has the ability to under stand every subject. Some kids need extra help besides school work to grasp a few concepts. Poor academic performance is o ften laughed at and is looked down upon by both teachers and peers. In such cases, it can make the child feel isolated, neglect ed and hurt. All of this, put together, can add to stress, which m any times worsens grades.Extra curricular activities (课外活动) such as playing a sport, or attending art classes can weigh heavily on your child’s mind. Balancing school and extra curricu lar activities does seem like a burden when you have to be outs tanding at both. When the pressures from both the ends get un manageable, teenagers tend to get tired and annoyed. Tiredness sets in, leading to stress related issues such as lack of conce ntration in school.These are the common causes of stress in teenagers, which ca n be noticed through signs such as poor memory, anxiety, nega tive and pessimistic attitude. If the signs of teenage stress go u nrecognized for a long time, it can make the child emotionally o ut of balance. And next step, if this happens, it is necessary for parents to know how to deal with stress.78. What does the passage mainly talk about?______________________________________________________.79. Poor academic performance causes stress for children bec ause it tends ________________________________________________.80. How can parents know that their teenagers are under stress ?They can know that if their children _________________________ _________________81.
