2．When I was 7 and Stevie was 6，our parents taught us how to play chess and other games.Playing games was our life back then.Stevie and I were very competitive in everything.
We got older and better so our games were more intense，but also more exciting.The strange thing is that I enjoyed the games vastly and was happy for my brother when he won.But afterwards，I felt my well-being threatened，and then my confidence suffered.
When I was 10 years old I wanted to be successful at my talents.One day，a light came on in my head.I had to find something Stevie couldn't do.It would have to be unique in every way.Before long，I got Jimmy Nelson's record on "How to Become a Ventriloquist （腹語(yǔ)師）" and I practiced faithfully every day.After sum vacation，I did my first show for my class.The response was favorable.I performed for family get-togethers and did shows on a number of occasions to practice my new skill.
It isn't easy learning ventriloquism.The difficult part was developing the voice，because at first，it was soft and hard to hear.I memorized the routines and performed more.With time，I got better responses.The loud laughter was nonstop，in addition to the applause.
Four years later，my mother purchased a professional ventriloquial figure，which I named.Freddie O'Sullivan.He was lifelike，with moving eyes，moving eyebrows，and could stick out his tongue.Treating Freddie like a real person enhanced my performance.
In college，F(xiàn)reddie was well known.He would tell people that he was the only guy that could sleep in the girl's dormitory.Over the years，I won many talent awards.
One time，an elderly man looked at Freddie attentively and asked him where he got his trousers.The audience nearby had tears in their eyes.I didn't know what was going on until I was told later the gentleman hadn't spoken for 20 years.
Thanks to my brother，I created a lifetime with Freddie.
（1）How did the author feel at first when Stevie won a game？
A．Delighted.
B．Confused.
C．Depressed.
D．Surprised.
（2）Why did the author decide to learn ventriloquism？
A．To have a special talent better than her brother.
B．To record her intense and competitive childhood.
C．To gain her parents' favor in family get-togethers.
D．To bring joyous laughter to people around her.
（3）What do we know about Freddie O'Sullivan？
A．Freddie trained the author professionally.
B．Freddie inspired an old man to restart to talk.
C．Freddie took the place of the author's brother.
D．Freddie disturbed others in the girl's dormitory.
（4）According to the passage，which words can best describe the author？
A．Generous and grateful.
B．Modest and responsible.
C．Patient and warmhearted.
D．Sensitive and determined.組卷：13引用：4難度：0.3 -
3．It's unlikely that we'll see a dodo，a flightless bird，walking this earth anytime again，according to Beth Shapiro，a evolutionary molecular biologist.
"When most people think about de-extinction，they're imagining cloning，" Shapiro said.Cloning，the approach that created Dolly，the sheep in 1996 and Elizabeth Ann，the black-footed ferret in 2020，creates an identical genetic copy of an individual by putting DNA from a living adult cell into an egg cell from which the nucleus （細(xì)胞核） has been removed.Adult cells contain all the DNA needed to develop into a living animal.Egg cells then use that DNA as a blueprint to turn themselves into many kinds of cells-skin，organs，blood and bones-the animal needs.
"But no living cells from dodos exist.Instead，" Shapiro said， "you'd have to start with a closely related animal's genome （基因組） and then change it into one similar to dodos." For example，mammoths （猛犸） are also extinct，but they were very closely related to modern Asian elephants，so researchers are attempting to bring mammoths back from extinction by creating a hybrid mammoth with some mammoth genes replacing part of the elephant genome in an elephant egg cell.However，there are likely millions of genetic differences between the genome of an Asian elephant and that of a mammoth according to Shapiro.
As for the dodo，its closest living relative is the Nicobar pigeon.Mammoths and Asian elephants are pretty closely related，whereas it had been more than 20 million years since the dodo and the Nicobar pigeon had any common ancestors.Genetic differences between the two bird species are therefore much greater，making it a formidable task to create a successful hybrid in the lab，Shapiro said.
Even if scientists manage to bring dodos back，the island where they once lived is a very different place nowadays，which make it impossible to reintroduce dodos without major intervention.
（1）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？
A．The special role of DNA．
B．The process of cloning.
C．The development of cloning.
D．The complexity of cloning.
（2）What does Shapiro want to show by the example of mammoths？
A．Dodos are harder to bring back to life.
B．Their living cells are hard to preserve.
C．Cloning can be used to recreate extinct animals.
D．They share a similar genome with Asian elephants.
（3）What does the underlined word "formidable" mean in Paragraph 4？
A．Urgent.
B．Possible.
C．Tough.
D．Different.
（4）What is Shapiro's attitude towards the rebirth of dodos？
A．Favorable.
B．Intolerant.
C．Objective.
D．Negative.組卷：10引用：5難度：0.2

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Wrinkles of confusion spread across Holly's forehead as she unwrapped the gift from her best friend，Susan. " I thought you could use it for something." Susan's explanation did nothing to help us understand why a carpet made of remnant（零頭布料） was being presented as a birthday gift.
My heart went out to my daughter.Starting over at a new school had been a difficult adjustment.Until she met Susan，Holly had experienced little success making new friends.
The whispered "thanks" was barely heard as Holly tried not to allow her disappointment to show.She laid the carpet on the kitchen counter，and they headed outside to play.Holly's disappointment didn't become evident until the following evening when she came downstairs to say good night. "Well，I guess we know how much my best friend thinks of me，huh，Mom？" she said in tears. "I'm so sorry，honey" was all I could manage to say.
The next morning，I carried the kitchen rubbish outside.My heart sank as I lifted the lid of the trash can and saw Susan's carpet lying there.Hesitating only for a moment，I took it out and brought it into the house.
"Susan invited me to come over to her house tomorrow，" Holly announced a week later.Although her voice carried a so-what attitude，I sensed she was pleased by the invitation.Susan had visited us many times，but she had never invited us and it would be the first time for Holly to go.
The next day I drove Holly to the destination.A tall woman stood in the doorway to greet us.The house was shabby but neatly decorated with used furniture.From the chat with the woman we knew Susan had long been separated from her parents and that she was Susan's foster mother（養(yǎng)母）.I came to respect this generous-hearted woman who had opened her home to a young girl.After a nice chat，I left.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請(qǐng)按如下格式在相應(yīng)位置作答。
