Upon inspection, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door neighbors 10 year old daughters rabbit. For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard. I knew that day would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast.The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower. Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as “natural caused.Back to the hammock and JD. Within the hour the neighbors Volvo pulled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time she stopped about six feet away and screamed: “DADDY!.Her father, panic stricken, stood looking at the cage. Being the good neighbor that I am, I rushed to fence and asked if there was anything I could do.Her father less than calmly shouted, “What kind of sick individual would dig up a little girls rabbit and put it back in its cage?36The girl was shocked because .Athe rabbit was killed by someoneBthe rabbit was too cleanCthe dead rabbit was cleaned and put back into the cageDthe rabbit was asleep in the cage37That day the girl ran to the cage .Abecause her rabbit was thereBbecause she had a habit of going there to see her rabbitCbecause she wanted to see her rabbit againDbecause the rabbit was dead38We can infer that the rabbit .Awas alive before the writer saw his dog dragging itBwas already dead before the writer saw his dog dragging itCwas in the cage playing with the dogDwas at the fence seeking out for food before it was killed by the dog39According to the story, the writer .Awas helpful to his neighborBdid a smart thingCwas honestDmade a mistake B Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria (衡量标准)in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenagers intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. “The safety issue is a big one, says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasnt alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer -“Thats not a problem here,-Mahoney began to feel uneasy. “No crime whatever? comments Mahoney today. “I just dont buy it. Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college, says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation. But getting accurate information isnt easy. Colleges must report crime statistics(统计数字) by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity关注, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be serious, warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nations leading campus safety watchdog group. To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.40. It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges _. A. receive too many visitors B. mirror the rest of the nation C. hide the truth of campus crime D. have too many watchdog groups41. The underlined word “buy in the third paragraph means _. A. mind B. admit C. believe D. expect42. We learn from the text that “the honest ones in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to colleges _. A. that are protected by campus security B. that report campus crimes by law C. that are free from campus crime D. that enjoy very good publicity43. What is the text mainly about? A. Exact campus crime statistics. B. Crimes on or around campuses. C. Effective solutions to campus crime. D. Concerns about kids campus safety. CAs if there werent enough of them in the world already, scientists have succeeded in cloning flies. The alike fruit flies are the first insects ever cloned, says the Canadian team that created them. The question everyone asks is why anyone would want to clone flies in the first place. She hopes that the insects , which are very easy to experiment with , will help to adjust the cloning process in other animals and even in humans, where the technique is being researched to aid production of therapeutic (治疗的) stem cells.In cloning, the DNA-containing nucleus of an adult cell is injected into an egg whose own nucleus(细胞核) has been removed. At the moment, the majority of cloned mice, sheep and other animals die before birth. It is thought this is because the adult DNA is not properly reprogrammed.Using flies, researchers might discover genes that are important for this reprogramming, and that have matches in other animals. That is because it is relatively easy in flies to knock out the function of a single gene and then attempt cloning with these cells, which will test whether that gene is important. If such genes are confirmed, then in theory cloned mammalian embryos(晶胚) might be grown in selected solutions that change the activity of those genes to improve the techniques success rate. Although some groups have attempted to clone insects before, Lloyd says this is the first time it has been successful. The team used a slight difference on the standard cloning process: they transferred nuclei taken from embryos rather than fully-grown adult cells. They sucked several nuclei (pl)out of developing fly embryos, and injected them into a fertilized(已受精的) fly egg. From over 800 early attempts, they cloned five adult insects, the group reports in the journal Genetics.44The best title of this passage probably is _.AThe importance of cloneBFirst insects are clonedCThe disagreement in cloneDThe advantages of clone45The scientists cloned flies because_. Athere are fewer and fewer flies in the world Bflies are easy to find and cheap to use Cthey can gain some experience before cloning other animals Dit is safe to clone flies46The failure of most cloned animals is due to _. Athe difference of other animals genes Bthe improper technique of clone Cthe complex of other animals Dthe improper rearrange of the adult gene47It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _. Athe clone of insects before used grown-up cells Bthe clone of insects were never experimented before Cthis time scientists cloned flies successfully and easily Dbased on this success, other animals will be cloned in large quantities.

EWhen I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. Ive lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldnt let that happen.Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to
