22、In my long years of teaching, I often ask my students to read the texts until they can recite (背诵) them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.
In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless?
Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don’t remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So, recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.
【1】The writer often asks his students to recite the texts, _______.
A．but they don’t like to do so
B．but they wrote a letter to report the thing
C．and they are willing to do so
D．but they do exercises instead of reciting
【2】What do the students think about the teacher’s advice?
A．The English teacher tries his best to help them with English.
B．The English teacher is very kind to them.
C．The English teacher asks them to do something useless.
D．The English teacher should let them study on their own.
【3】According to the text, which of the following is correct?
A．The teacher thinks the students are too naughty to learn English well.
B．The students think they spend a lot of time in reciting the texts and get nothing.
C．The students say that they often forget the words.
D．The students take no interest in English.
【4】When the students are against his suggestion, the writer_______.
A．often gets angry with them
B．patiently explains to them why they should recite the texts
C．wants to give up his idea
D．is afraid that he will be punished by the headmaster
23、 Cloning has always been with us and is here to stay. It is a way of making an exact copy of another animal or plant. It happens in plants when gardeners take cuttings from growing plants to make new ones. It also happens in animals when twins identical in sex and appearance are produced from the same original egg. The fact is that these are both examples of natural clones.
Cloning has two major uses. Firstly, gardeners use it all the time to produce commercial quantities of plants. Secondly, it is valuable for research on new plant species and for medical research on animals. Cloning plants is straightforward while cloning animals is very complicated. It is a difficult task to undertake. Many attempts to clone mammals failed. But at last the determination and patience of the scientists paid off in 1996 with a breakthrough — the cloning of Dolly the sheep.
The procedure works like this:
Female sheep A provides an egg cell.
The nucleus is removed from the egg cell.
The egg cell is ready for a new nucleus.
Female sheep B provides a somatic cell for the clone. The nucleus of this cell contains all the genes needed to produce a new sheep.
The nucleus is taken out of the somatic cell.
The nucleus from sheep B and the egg cell from sheep A are joined using electricity.
The cell divides and grows into an embryo.
The embryo is put into female sheep C, who becomes the carrier of the clone.
The lamb is the clone of the donated cell from sheep B which provided the nucleus.
On the one hand, the whole scientific world followed the progress of the first successful clone, Dolly the sheep. The fact that she seemed to develop normally was very encouraging. Then came the disturbing news that Dolly had become seriously ill. Cloning scientists were cast down to find that Dolly’s illnesses were more appropriate to a much older animal. Altogether Dolly lived six and a half years, half the length of the life of the original sheep. Sadly the same arbitrary fate affected other species, such as cloned mice. The questions that concerned all scientists were: “Would this be a major difficulty for all cloned animals? Would it happen forever? Could it be solved if corrections were made in their research procedure?”
On the other hand, Dolly’s appearance raised a storm of objections and had a great impact on the media and public imagination. It became controversial. It suddenly opened everybody’s eyes to the possibility of using cloning to cure serious illnesses and even to produce human beings.
Although at present human egg cells and embryos needed for cloning research are difficult to obtain, newspapers wrote of evil leaders hoping to clone themselves to attain their ambitions. Religious leaders also raised moral questions. Governments became nervous and more conservative. Some began to reform their legal systems and forbade research into human cloning, but other countries like China and the UK, continued to accumulate evidence of the abundant medical aid that cloning could provide. However, scientists still wonder whether cloning will help or harm us and where it is leading us.
【1】Which one is the best statement about the uses of cloning?
A．To produce commercial quantities of plants.
B．To research on new plant species.
C．To do medical research on animals.
D．All of the above.
【2】It can be inferred(推断) from the passage that a cloned animal _________.
A．is usually as healthy as the original one.
B．usually lives as long as the original one.
C．usually lives longer than the original one.
D．usually lives shorter than the original one.
【3】Which is correct about the cloning of Dolly the sheep?
A．Female sheep A is more important than the female sheep B and C.
B．Female sheep C provides a somatic cell.
C．The joined cell divides and grows straight into the lamb.
D．Female sheep A’s egg cell whose nucleus is taken out is ready for the nucleus of a somatic cell from female sheep B.
【4】Why is cloning controversial in some countries?
A．Because it is a difficult task to undertake in some countries.
B．Because it is difficult to get the human eggs and embryos.
C．Cloning is controversial in some countries for moral and religious reasons.
D．Because some countries forbade research into cloning.
【5】What do you think is the writer’s point of view?
A．Impartial
B．Positive
C．Negative
D．Indifferent(漠不关心的)
24、In Rochester, if you are a coffee lover, you must have heard of Java Joe’s Cafe. For the local students, the Java Joe’s on Gibbs Street has become a place of solace during stressful testing times, and on more heartwarming occasions, a social center.
Slowly approaching its thirties, Java Joe’s has enjoyed a good reputation in its local. In 1978, Java Joe created a coffee farm in Hawaii. With great dedication to his craft, the great master of coffee beans made his way to Rochester then. In 1992, Joe decided to start selling coffee at the Public Market and opened up a store on Gibbs Street with the help of Michael Calabrese. So this store was originally named as the Gibbs Cafe. This location, next to the Eastman School of Music, is the first of many shops Java Joe opened. As a lover of the blues, Joe enthusiastically decorated this flagship store with artistic and musical influence.
After Gibbs’ location, Joe planted another one where he was first starting out — in the Public Market. Later, it moved to a nearby building and received a name change — Java’s at the Market Coffee Roasters. This building served as a place where those who visited would often catch a glimpse of Joe skillfully roasting his coffee beans in the dancing flames and cultivating his drinks with care. However, in 1997 he licensed “the Gibbs Cafe” to Calabrese, who then renamed it to what we know today — Java Joe’s Cafe.
Joe remained in the Public Market location until he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Joe died of lung cancer at 68. The influence he had poured into his business is well-known and highly regarded. He has won many awards in his life.
The next time you head down to Gibbs Street for your morning cup, keep in mind the extraordinary story of how that cup came to be, all thanks to Java Joe.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I went up to the roof for a break after studying for an hour and watched the 50 or so people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny day-a blue, cloudless sky over a calm sea. But then, as I looked in the distance, I discovered a series of three or four big waves heading towards the shore. I'd seen these mini- tsunamis(海啸) many times before. They were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. Most people knew how to look out for them, but from the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.
Without thinking, I ran down into the street, holding my body board(俯伏冲浪板) on the way and shouted at a stranger to go inside my house and call the coastguard. My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his body board, so together we rushed to the steps that led down to the sea.
Once we got closer, we discovered the waves had pulled a boy and a girl from the pool and into the open sea. I knew that the nearest boat would take at least 30 minutes to reach us. Waiting for help wasn't a choice. I wasn't used to this sort of emergency- I’d never been trained as a lifeguard-but I didn't think twice about trying to save them. I supposed in a way I wanted to impress everyone: at 19, a deal like that can seem like a good opportunity to show off.
Moises and I dived into the water and it took us 10 minutes to get to them. When we finally reached them, they were almost lifeless with only their heads coming in and out of the water. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths but it was clear they wouldn't have been able to stay there much longer. I hold the boy and pulled him over my board. Moises moved the girl on to his board. We discussed pushing them back to the shore, but we were too far out.
We had to wait,
