Two days before Christmas,I was shopping in a local grocery store. I bought a lot of vegetables and some food for my two children. My cart was full as I entered the checkout lane(付款通道) . 1
It was beginning to snow and I found that the lady looked worried. 2 I turned back and insisted she go before me. She was surprised and then she thanked me sincerely.
3 We took advantage of this little time and had a nice chat about kindness. I told her that she seemed close to my mother's age and I hoped that someone would do the same for her.
After her goods were tallied(清點）, she was handed a receipt. Her receipt had a message that she would receive a special gift for a child at customer services. 4
As I stood there,I felt that there may have been a child that would benefit from that gift in her own family or circle of friends and realized that one act of kindness could have a chain reaction. Had I denied myself that opportunity to practice this random act,I would have received the “free gift” receipt. 5 Furthermore,by allowing myself the opportunity to show generosity,I also received a gift 一 the satisfaction of helping others.
A. Seeing this,she was delighted.
B. She thought I was just telling a joke.
C. But I knew in my heart that she needed it more.
D. It occurred to me that I should do something for her.
E. There were still several people waiting in line before us.
F. A little elderly lady was behind me with a full cart as well.
G. I was a little worried because I would have to wait for at least ten minutes.
(購物)
本文是記敘文。作者在商店排隊結(jié)賬時讓一位老婦人優(yōu)先結(jié)賬，作者因此感受到了幫助別人的快樂。
1. F。根據(jù)下一段中的I turned back and insisted she go before me 可推 測，老婦人本來是“排在作者之后 的”.
2. D. 根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知，作者“想到 要為這位老婦人做些什么事”，因此 他讓老婦人排到自己前面，優(yōu)先結(jié) 賬。
3. E。根據(jù)本空后一句We took advantage of this little time and had a nice chat about kindness可推測，作者和老婦人的前面“仍然有一些人在排 隊”，所以他們利用等待的時間聊 天。
4. A. 根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知，老婦人幸運 地獲得了禮品券，因此她應(yīng)該很“高 興”。
5. C. 如果作者不跟老婦人換位置的 話，那么獲得禮品券的人應(yīng)該是作 者，但是看到老婦人那么高興，作者 “從心里知道她更需要這個禮品 券”。

Before she was Queen of England,Princess Elizabeth wanted to join the Auxiliary Territorial Service (A.T.S.) , a female branch of the British military. It was World War II,and women worked at jobs traditionally held by men,who were now overseas fighting.
Elizabeth was a teenager and first had to convince her parents about her plan. Her father,King George Ⅵ. thought it was too dangerous. But Princess Elizabeth would not take no for an answer. “I ought to do as other girls of my age do,” she said firmly. After some months,her parents finally agreed to let her join.
Princess Elizabeth did not receive any special treatment in the A. T.S. The only thing different was that she returned to Windsor Castle each night to sleep.
When she arrived at the A. T.S. camp depot （兵站) for her first day of training,Princess Elizabeth was greeted by a car with its wheels off. In the weeks that followed,she learned to take apart an engine and then assemble(裝配) it. The princess loved the training,admitting, “I'm a mechanic at last."

It was 1948,and Eleanor Abbott was bored. The retired schoolteacher was stuck in a San Diego hospital surrounded by young children who,like her,were suffering from polio(小兒麻痹癥) .The kids were lonely and sad,and Abbott,with nothing else to do,decided that a cheerful board game could be the perfect entertainment. So she supposedly grabbed a piece of thick paper and started drawing up plans.
The end result was perfect for young children. No counting. No reading. Players simply needed to know colors and follow instructions on the cards to travel around the board,stopping at various delicious-sounding locations along the. way. Abbott shared it with the children in the polio ward,and they loved it. One year later,Milton Bradley bought the game,and it became a surprise hit: Vandy Land.
While Milton Bradley kept that origin story a secret for decades,the game's connection to the disease didn’t stop there. It's possible that polio helped make Candy Land famous. In the early 1950s,a polio epidemic(傳染�。� swept the country. The best way to stay healthy was to avoid people. Public swimming pools and playgrounds were closed. Moviegoers were encouraged to sit far from each other at the theater. Parents wouldn't even let their kids outside to play. Healthy or sick,everybody needed entertainment to help pass the time. That,coupled with the fact that postwar Americans had more money and leisure time than ever,was the ideal condition for making a child's board game popular. Plus,it was about candy!
Today,polio has practically been removed from the globe. Candy Land has sold more than 40 million copies and was introduced into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2005. But Abbott kept low profile(低姿 態(tài)) for the rest of her life. According to Nicolas Ricketts of The Strong — a museum in Rochester,New York,devoted to the history and exploration of play — when Abbott received her first royalty check,she gave much of the money right back to the children she met in the ward. How sweet!
6. Abbott used the board game in the hospital to.
A. teach kids about colors
B. cheer young patients up
C. show her teaching skills
D. try out her new invention
7. The young children in the hospital .
A. enjoyed the board game a lot
B. helped to make the board game
C. learned to read through the board game
D. learned to count through the board game
8. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3 ?
A. The symptoms of polio.
B. The origin of Candy Land.
C. Candy Land helped to cure polio.
D. Candy Land became popular due to polio.
9. We can infer that Candy Land became famous.
A. in 1948 B. in the early 1950s
C. in 2005 D. in recent years
10. Which word can best describe Abbott?
A. Careful. B. Confident.
C. Kind-hearted. D. Strong-minded.

Livestock(牲畜） cloning is the practice of cloning sheep,cattle and other livestock species as a way to improve efficiency. The basic idea behind livestock cloning is to clone animals that have certain qualities,such as cows that produce more milk or meat. 1 However,this practice is very controversial,and livestock farmers have been hesitant to adopt it fully because of public opposition and certain inefficiencies.
In technical terms,livestock are cloned by taking cells from one animal and using them to fertilize eggs(使卵子受精) .Scientists take the fertilized eggs and put them in female animals. 2 Many animals are bom with abnormal shapes. Scientists are looking for ways to improve the process and make it less expensive to adopt on a wider scale.
3 For example,if farmers were able to take only their very best animals and recreate them many times,they could potentially be more productive.
There are also some potential problems with cloned livestock. 4. For example,when a disease hits,there are usually individuals who cannot be harmed by the disease or are more resistant,and they will generally survive. If all the animals were genetically (在基因方面) identical or similar,this sort of disease could totally destroy an entire generation of livestock,leaving the world with a massive food shortage.
In addition to concerns about genetic diversity,there are other concerns about cloning. 5 There are also some people who worry that livestock cloning research may be a gateway to introducing human cloning,which is widely disapproved of.
A. Are the surviving clones really clones?
B. Therefore,the new species is expected to be better.
C. The biggest one arises from a reduction in genetic diversity.
D. Cloned livestock have the potential to provide some major benefits.
E. Cloning animals shows us what might happen if we try to clone humans.
F. These concerns sometimes come from worries over unforeseen consequences.
G. This process doesn't always work perfectly,and it can be relatively expensive.
