Every Wednesday,I go to Cantata Adult Life Services,a local retirement community in Brookfield,Illinois,US,with my classmates to do community service.
After my very first visit to Cantata,my life changed forever.That may sound a bit dramatic,but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views on life.
Our visits last about an hour,and we bring 25-30 students every time.We play board games and cards with the residents while we’re there.
You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about “life back then”,but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there.Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible.
Whether it was talking to 98yearold “Hurricane Hilda” about her glory days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor,I was completely attracted by every single memory the residents wanted to share with me.
Even the residents who don’t have amazing memories make the experience satisfying.I remember visiting Mrs Robinson.She couldn’t recall much about her past,but she told me she’d never forget how kind I was just to listen to her “rambling(漫谈)”.It made me realize that it’s the little things that make life worth living.That’s something I won’t forget anytime soon.
If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my three years of visiting Cantata,it’s that presence—just being there—means more than anything to many of the residents.And despite how busy our lives are,there’s always time to make someone’s day.
For me,it feels great to be a source of happiness,a smile on a bad day or a listening ear for old memories.And at the end of the day,that’s all that matters.It’s easy to feel like you don’t have anything in common with the elderly—especially when you’re a teenager.But that’s not true at all.
I hate to be overly clichéd(陈词滥调的) here,but age really is just a number.As young adults,it’s important for us to realize this sooner rather than later.We can learn a lot from the elderly,and they can often benefit from teenagers,too.
1.What do the volunteers do according to the passage?
A.They share everything with the residents.
B.They play board games and cards with the residents.
C.They watch the residents play games.
D.They buy gifts for the residents.

A.Playing with them.

D.Being there with them.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。由第七段中的“If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my three years of visiting Cantata,it’s that presence—just being there—means more than anything to many of the residents.”可知志愿者们为老人们做的最重要的事就是在那里陪他们。
3.What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?
A.We don’t have anything in common with the elderly.
B.Age is just a number.
C.It is important to help the elderly.

British scientists have done something that many people thought was impossible:they created the first clone of an adult mammal(哺乳动物).The clone,named Dolly,is a sevenmonthold sheep,grown from a cell of an adult female sheep.
What is a clone?A clone is a copy—a genetic copy.Genes are the instructions for life.They tell a cell what to do and how to do it.Genes make each individual plant or animal different and unique.But a clone has the same genes as the original organism(生物体).
Cloning is not new.Plants have been cloned for centuries.New plants are often grown from cutting from another plant.Also,plants like pineapples,strawberries and carnations (康乃馨) are sometimes cloned.One benefit of cloning is that we can make many copies of the best and healthiest plants.
It has been much more difficult to clone animals.Frogs have been cloned,but they died as tadpoles,never living long enough to become adult frogs.Mice,sheep and cattle have been cloned from embryos(胚胎).But Dolly is the first healthy clone of an adult mammal.How did they do it?
(1)An unfertilized egg was taken from a sheep.
(2)The egg nucleus(细胞核) was removed.
(3)A cell was taken from the udder(乳房) of a pregnant(怀孕的) sheep.It was “starved”,so that it stopped growing.
(4)The two cells were combined into one and then implanted in a third sheep,where it grew normally.
(5)The clone was born.It was genetically identical to the pregnant sheep in step (3).
This sounds much easier than it actually was.To end up with one clone,the scientists started with 277 udder cells.And they needed in a way to make the egg cell accept a new nucleus.They did that by starving the cell in step (3).
It may soon be possible to clone many types of animals.Will we also be able to clone human organs,or even whole human beings?We have only begun to think about the morality of cloning technology.Maybe the question to ask is not whether we can clone humans,but instead,should we clone humans?
4.Dolly is a sheep
because she is grown from a cell of an adult female sheep.
A.that has not her father
B.that has not her mother
C.that has no parents
D.that has not any tail
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。从文中可以看出,多莉是从一只成年羊的细胞中克隆出来的,所以它没有父母,而是那只羊的一个翻版。
5.Tell which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Only plants can be cloned.
B.Only strawberries and carnations can sometimes be cloned.
C.Animals and plants have quite a long history of cloning.
D.Genes can tell a cell what to do and how to do it during cloning.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。由第二段中的“Genes are the instructions for life.They tell a cell what to do and how to do it.”可知D项正确。第三段提到植物可以克隆,第四段提到动物也可以克隆,所以选项A“只有植物可以克隆。”不正确;从文中第三段可知菠萝也是可以克隆的,所以B项“只有草莓和康乃馨可以克隆。”不正确;第三段中提到植物已有几个世纪的克隆历史,而没有提到动物的克隆历史,所以C项“动植物都有一个相当长的克隆历史。”与题意不符。
6.From the fourth paragraph we can know that
.
A.a tadpole is the early stage of a grownup frog
B.a tadpole is a frog without a tail
C.a tadpole is a kind of animal
D.a tadpole is a clone of an adult mammal
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。由文章第四段第二句可知,人们曾经克隆过青蛙,但在蝌蚪阶段就死了,并没有进入成年青蛙阶段。因此我们可以判断,蝌蚪是青蛙的早期形态,故A项“蝌蚪是青蛙的早期形态”正确。
7.Which of the following statements about Dolly is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Dolly is the first clone of an animal.
B.Dolly is the first clone of an adult animal.
C.Dolly is the first clone of a mammal.
D.Dolly is the first clone of an adult mammal.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句话“...they created the first clone of an adult mammal(哺乳动物).”可知答案应为D项。

“Should I get

I was
12
for my own safety,and I hated myself for having suddenly decided to take a(n)
13
route home that night.“What if I’m
14
too?” Although it felt like a century,my thought process had only taken seconds.But already the girl’s
15

I knew I had to

“No,” I finally resolved(决定).“I cannot

I ran behind the bushes and pulled the

Breathing heavily,I got to my

and approached the girl,who was sobbing behind a tree.In the darkness,I could
21
see her outline,but I could certainly sense her trembling
22
.Not wanting to frighten her any
23
,I at first spoke to her from a distance.
“It’s OK,” I said.“The man ran away.You’re
24
now.”
There was a long pause and then I heard the

“Dad,is that you?”
And then,from
27
the tree,stepped my youngest daughter,Katherine.
