milk 1/2 cup half-and-half 1/3 cup maple syrup（枫糖浆）1/2 teaspoon salt foil（锡箔纸）2 tablespoons melted butter（for topping）2 tablespoons maple syrup（for topping）What to Do With an adults help,cut the bread into 1-inch slices.Place the eggs,milk,half-and-half,maple syrup,and salt into a large bowl.Stir（揽拌）the mixture until blended（混合均匀）.Place the sliced bread into a baking dish.Pour the mixtureover the bread and press the slices into it.Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.Remove the dish from the refrigerator at least one hour before baking.Ask an adult for help to preheat the oven to 375F.Bake the French toast for 35 minutes or until golden brown.For the topping,combine the melted butter and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.Pour it over the French toast before serving.1.How much salt will you need to make a French toast?A.1/3 cup.B.1/2 teaspoon.C.2 tablespoons.D.16 ounces.2.How will you use foil?A.Place the sliced bread B.Cover the dish.C.Remove the dish.D.Eat the French toast.3.Who is the passage written for?A.Teachers.B.Parents.C.Cooks.D.Kids.B If youve ever had a dog,you know just howdeep a connection you can develop with“mans best friend”.But a dogs life is much shorter than humans,about 12 to 15 years long,which means every dog owner has to go through the heartbreaking moment when their loving pet passes away.Why not make a clone of that dog then?This is the solution offered by a South Korean company,Sooam Biotech Research Foundation.The company has already successfully cloned at least 400 dogs,mostly for US customers,ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005.Now,Sooam Biotech has introduced its business toUKdog owners as well,offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.To clone a dog,researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died.Meanwhile,another dog is selected to supply an egg.Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb(子宫)of a female dog.The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months.The whole process takes less than a day,but it comes at a shockingly high price around63,000.But if you cant afford it now,you can also save the cell in a laboratory andaccess it at a later date.However,magical as cloning might sound,there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the original one.Just like identical twins of humans,they share the exactly same DNA but there will still be small differences between them.“The spots on a Dalmatian(斑点狗)clone will be different,for example”Insung Hwang,head of Sooam Biotech,told The Guardian.Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not“cloneable”.Apart from genes,personality is also determined by upbringing and environment,which are both random elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome,Professor Tom Kirkwood atNewcastle University,UK,told The Telegraph.Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after all.Kirkwood,a dog owner himself,pointed out,“An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go.”4.What service does Sooam Biotech Research Foundation offer?A.Making copies of pet dogs.B.Giving pet dogs identical twins C.Helping dogs give birth to more puppies.D.Helping dog owners love their dogs more.5.Which order is correct in the dog cloning process?a.An egg is taken from another dog.b.A skin cell is taken from the pet dog.c.The egg grows into a puppy in two months.d.The egg is placed in the womb of a female dog.e.The DNA in the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell.A.adbec.B.aebdc C.badec.D.baedc.6.What can we learn about dog cloning from the passage?A.It has not been put into practice until recently.B.It is very popular among US andUKpet owners.C.It might not give the owners an exactlysame dog.D.It is very expensive and usually takes half a year to complete.7.What doesKirkwoodthink of dog cloning?A.He disagrees with it.B.He supports it.C.He is curious about it.D.He thinks it unbelievable.C Move over,helicopter parents.“Snowplow(扫雪机)parents”are the newest reflection of an intensive(强化的)parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts,texting their college kids to wake them up so they dont sleep through a test,and even calling their kids employers.Helicopter parenting the practice of wandering anxiously near ones children,monitoring their every activity,is so 20th century.Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows:machines moving ahead,clearing any difficulties in their childrens path to success,so they dont have to suffer failure,frustration(挫折)or lose opportunities.It starts early,when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them.It gets more intense when school starts:running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children dont ever meet with failure,but its not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting.This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children,regardless of income,education,or race.Yes,its a parents job to support the children,and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their children arent mature enough to do so.Thats why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenagers car keys until he finishes his college applications.But snowplow parents can take it too far,some experts say.If children have never faced a difficulty,what happens when they get into the real world?“Solving problems,taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills,”many child development experts say,“and if parents dont let their children experience failure,the children dont acquire them.”8.What do we know about snowplow parenting?A.It appeared before helicopter parenting.B.It costs parents less than helicopter parenting.C.It was a typical phenomenon of the 20th century.D.It provides more than enough services for children.9.What is mainly discussed about snowplow parenting in Paragraph 4?A.Its cost.B.Its benefits.C.Its popularity.D.Its ending.10.Why does the author mention parents taking away car keys?A.To show teenagers are no better than babies.B.To advise teenagers not to treat their cars as toys.C.To advise parents not to buy cars for their teenagers.D.To show its appropriate to help children when necessary.11.Whats the possible result of snowplow parenting according to the experts?A.Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality.B.Children mastering more key life skills than parents.C.Children gaining great success in every aspect of life.D.Children meeting no problems or frustration after growing up.D True friend from a distant land International friends can come in many shapes and sizes.However they arrive on the scene,they are always appreciated,especially in times ofturbulence.Michael Lindsay(1909 94)is a case in point.After graduating from the University of Oxford in 1931,Lindsay arrived in China in 1937 on a ship from Canada intending merely to teach economics at Beiping Yenching University,the current Peking University.He traveled with Norman Bethune the Canadian doctor who dedicated his life to medicine in China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression(1931 45).Lindsay left Beijing at the end of 1941,and went to the Communist-led Jinchaji base(晋察冀边区)together with his wife Li Xiaoli,who was a Shanxi local and a former student of his.“Lindsay was inspired by the hard work local Chinesepeople made in fighting against Japanese aggression.After learning that Chinese armies on the frontlines were suffering supply shortages,Lindsay was determined to lend a hand,says Yan Juhai,a retired official from Shanxis Lyuliang city.In the Jinchaji base,NieRongzhen(1899 1992),the bases top commander,appointed him to work as the communications expert,where he became a full-time radio technician contributing greatly in communication technology innovation and training,says Yan.In 1944 Lindsay and his wife arrived in Yanan in Shaanxi province and helped fix its telecommunication equipment.They stayed for 18 months in Yanan,and after the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,they decided to return to the United Kingdom to visit their parents.12.Which word in the following can best replace the underlined word?A.peace B.war C.stress D.sorrow 13.Why did Lindsay go to the Communist-led Jinchaji base according to Yan Juhai?A.Because his wife was a Shanxi local.B.Because he was warmly invited by NieRongzhen.C.Because he was touched by Chinese peoples efforts D.Because he was more interested in communications.14.What can we learn from the

province.D.Lindsay taught economics in the Jinchaji base besides his work as a radio expert.15.Where is the text probably from?A.a guidebook B.a novel C.a diary D.a newspaper 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10

Times.In the study,researchers from University College of London asked volunteers to hold their hands at different distances from their face.They then gave them an electric shock on their hand while measuring how often the volunteers blinked.The more they blinked(眨眼),_18_ The results among volunteers were a little different but the average personal space was 20 to 40 centimeters.Researchers also found that the more anxious a person was,the larger their personal space was because they were more sensitive.Besides psychological factors,_19_.For example,a person who grew up in a country that hugs a lot has less of a problem with strangers getting too close than a person who grew up in one with more distance between people._20_If you are chatting to someone in your living room,you wont have a large safety margin(界限)at all,explained researcher Gian Domenico Iannetti.But if you are walking through a dangerous area,then that will be much bigger.Sadly,sometimes people just dont understand the

or to get something out of your bag.A.But how big is this space?B.it shows that they are worried about their hands.C.the more of a threat they felt the shock was to their face.D.but generally it is
