I was just in France to visit my grandmother who is very dear to me. I don’t get to cross the Atlantic very often, and she’s now 96 years old, so every time I visit her, the two of us are very aware that it might be the last time we see each other.
Last year, I did a series of short video interviews about her life. I asked her what it was like growing up with her father in the 1910s, and living alone with two young children. I asked her about her greatest memories, and her favorite books, foods, etc. I learned a lot of amazing new things about her I had never known before. These were very intimate conversations, which made me know her better.
This year, I did not really have questions and I only had a great desire to make her know how much I loved her. I cooked for her and read her stories. I gave her a foot massage (按摩), which was her first ever! Before leaving, I was looking for a way to leave something meaningful behind besides the memory of our time together. Therefore, I wrote her five different love notes, and hid them in different places where I knew she would eventually find them.
I left really joyously knowing that these cards would surely cheer her up after I left. She called me as I was travelling back to Paris to catch my plane back to the US and said, “I found your cards! By the time I discovered the last one, I was laughing out loud! Thank you so much, my sweetheart!” I smiled to myself, knowing she still had two more to go! It was Sunday, so my guess was that she had not checked her mailbox and had not yet driven her car!
24. The underlined word “intimate” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.
A. close B. inspiring C. impressive D. usual
25. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The author went to France to visit her grandmother very frequently.
B. The author didn’t expect her grandmother to find all the five cards.
C. The author and her grandmother enjoyed the time they stayed together.
D. The author’s home is not far from her grandmother's.
26. From the last paragraph, we know that __________.
A. grandmother found all the cards immediately the author left
B. grandmother had not checked her mailbox before the call
C. grandmother always calls the author before she gets on the airplane
D. grandmother does exercises by finding the cards
27. What might be the best title of the passage
A. The Wonderful Time with Grandmother. B. The Meaningful Love Notes.
C. The Person Who Influences Me Most. D. The Family Has an Old, a Treasure.
C
The idea of cloning your pet sounds like a laughable waste of money, because it is. But it starts to seem a little less laughable when your own beloved pet starts getting older. If I had had a few hundred thousand dollars to spare, I know I would have half-seriously considered it for my dear little cat, who died last year. One couple that does happen to have a few hundred dollars to spare is Barry Diller and Diane, who have reportedly cloned their beloved Jack Russell Terrier (a kind of dog), Shannon, and now have two identical Jack Russell Terrier named Deena and Evita.
When your pet dies, you just want your pet back, or at least as close a copy as you can get. So it’s really no surprise that of the around 600 dogs cloned by Sooam Biotech Reaserch Foundation most were cloned for sad pet owners. The lab in Seoul, South Korea, is now the only place on the planet in the business of cloning pet dogs for pet owners.
But, in fact, the technology won’t give you your pet back. There don’t yet appear to be any studies on the behaviour of cloned pets, but research on cloned cows and pigs has so far shown marked differences in behaviour and even looks in cloned animals. The DNA is exactly the same, but there are still differences in personality and appearance.
Even if Diller and Von Furstenburg raise their new dogs in the exactly same environment in the exactly same way that they raised Shannon, the new dogs will still behave differently. “The promise of pet cloning is that your cloned pet is going to behave and look like the one you already have --- and that will not be the case,” said Professor Jorge Piedrahita at N.C. State. “We have cloned animals that were raised in the same environment, but they still didn’t act the same.”
28. What can we learn about the lab in Seoul
A. It was set up by some pet owners. B. It has cloned hundreds of pet dogs.
C. It charges nothing for its services. D. It has cloned a cat for the author.
29. Why does the author mention the studies on cloned cows and pigs
A. To explain why farm animals are cloned.
B. To discuss why pet cloning is so popular.
C. To show cloned animals are very different from each other.
D. To prove cloning is not a good way to bring pets from the dead.
30. What will the couple be likely to find out about their new dogs
A. They’ll grow in a very strange way. B. They’ll dislike their new environment.
C. They’ll act differently from Shannon. D. They’ll have the same personality as Shannon.
31. What was Piedrahita’s attitude towards the lab’s promise of pet cloning
A. He disbelieved it. B. He was worried about it.
C. He was curious about it. D. He showed much interest in it.
D
When men get together, they seldom talk about their feelings or inner thoughts. However, they talk about a lot, like their newest computer, how to repair their car, or even business.
Talk might move to the best place to find fish or women, jump to computer games, then continue to the sport of the season. They also like to tell jokes each other and spend a fair amount of time playing one-up and boasting (吹牛). Men seldom call each other to chat.
When man meets woman, he usually wants to make a good impression. Many single men try hard to carry on amusing, fun, and pleasant conversations. They use conversation to discover her interests and feelings in order to learn how to be attractive to her.
Some men, either out of nervousness or ignorance, spend most of the time talking about themselves, often appearing to show off their achievements or talk endlessly about their problems or work. Even the quietest man talks to his woman when love is new.
When women get together, they talk about feelings and relationships, their work and their family. They enjoy talking but also want the give and take of talk, then listen. Women often call each other to chat. Conversation is an important part of most women’s 1ives.
As relationships progress, however, many a man turns on the television and forgets how to talk. This raises anger and cry from his woman partner who says, “You never talk to me anymore.” Some men start talking. Many, however, mainly discuss their own achievements and problems.
When the woman starts talking about her favorite subjects: feelings, family, relationships, friends and her work, many men lose interest or bring the conversation back to themselves. Pretty soon, the man is back to staring at the television each night, wondering where his relationship has gone. The woman is talking to her friends, mom, sister, or neighbor, often about that very relationship and how she is hurting.
32. What can we know about men from the first two paragraphs
A. They like to talk about practical matters.
B. They are willing to express their inner thoughts.
C. They prefer to take adventurous travels.
D. They often call each other to chat about work.
33. When some men are nervous in the conversation, they would mostly talk about __________.
A. themselves B. the weather C. education D. science development
34. What is the same topic in both men’s and women’s talk
A. Family. B. Jokes. C. Friends. D. Work.
35. What is the best title of this passage
A. How a Man Makes a Good Impression on a Woman.
B. Good Relationship between Men and Women.
C. Men talk; Women Talk; Do They Talk Together
D. Talking, the Women’s Main Tool in Communication.

The e-mail request came into Ekiben restaurant late on a Thursday afternoon in March. Brandon Jones, the man who sent the e-mail didn’t actually want the food itself. He was writing on behalf of his mother-in-law, Shirley, who loved the broccoli (西兰花) dish with fresh herbs and cucumber vinegar. He went on to explain that she was now in the final stage of lung cancer at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe (烹饪法) to make it for her there. Steve Chu, one of the restaurant’s co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied, “Thanks for reaching out,” he wrote. “We’d like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for you.”
Brandon was shocked. “I emailed back, saying, ‘You do know that this is Vermont we’re talking about, right ’ ” says Brandon. “But Chu responded, ‘No problem. You tell us the date, time and location and we’ll be there.”
For the past six years, every time Shirley visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben so she could order that dish. “She loves that broccoli, and I really wanted her to have it one more time,” Brandon says.
“She had always told us, ‘When I’m on my deathbed, I want to have that broccoli,’ ” recalls Brandon’s wife, Rina Jones. That Friday after work, a day after receiving Brandon’s e-mail, Chu
loaded his truck with a hot plate and a cooler and then headed for Vermont with his business partner, Ephrem Abebe, and an employee. They stayed overnight in a tent and drove the next day to the small town where Shirley lived.
As soon as Chu and his team pulled into the parking lot, they got to work. They pulled down the gate of the pickup, fixed the hot plate on the truck’s power port, and started cooking and deep- frying. In addition to broccoli, they made tofu with peanut sauce and fresh herbs and some steamed
rice. After neatly boxing everything up, they knocked on their customer’s door.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。
“Go ahead and answer,” Rina told her mother.

Go ahead and answer,” Rina told her mother. No sooner had Shirley opened the door than she was attracted by the familiar smell. With her mouth widely open, she recognized Chu and his coworkers immediately and kept saying, “I can’t believe that you drove all the way up here to cook for me!” So happy and touched was she that she couldn’t contain herself. As for Chu, he was glad to see his loyal customer.
The Joneses invited Chu and his team to join them for dinner. They thanked them but said they needed to get back. Chu also refused to take any money from the family. “It was an honor to help fulfill the family’s wishes,” Chu said. Rina was happy that her mother was able to enjoy her beloved broccoli with remarkable kindness one last time. On seeing her mother crying about their generosity, Rina burst into tears as well and said, “I’ll carry that positive memory with me forever.”
