【題目】Oseola McCarty spent more than 75 years washing and ironing other people’s clothes．As a laundrywoman, she was paid only a few dollars each time．Certainly nobody would consider her rich, so they were all amazed when Miss McCarty decided to donate $ 150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi．

The money was in fact her life savings．She could save such a large amount of money because she lived a very simple life．She never learned to drive, and when she wanted to go somewhere, she just walked．She never flew to anywhere till the donation，and in 50 years she had been out of the South only once．The house in which she lived was also a rather modest one her last uncle left her．Only after she became known in America did she begin to travel all over the country．Since then, she had been the subject of many interviews and articles and was even invited to the White House．

Her donation was for students who clearly needed financial help．She herself left school in the sixth grade and had never married or had children．She said to the reporters that the idea of helping somebody’s child go to college gave her much pleasure．

【寫作內(nèi)容】

（3）如果你自己要捐助，你會(huì)選擇哪個(gè)群體并陳述理由。

【答案】Oseola McCarty was a laundrywoman for more than 75 years．She earned a few dollars each time．But she donated $150,000 which was her life savings to help the students who needed financial help．I think her behavior is worth praising and very unselfish．Everyone should help others in need．But how much to donate should be based on our actual situation．The $150,000 is very helpful to the students who have financial problems．They can buy many things they need as other students．And they may be more grateful and kinder．Therefore, it’s more likely for them to help others in the future．If I am going to give donations, I will choose students too．They are in the most important period in their life．They need to get a long education．They have to buy a lot of books, pencil-cases, pens, erasers and so on, which will certainly cost a lot．They are growing up rapidly, which needs a lot of nutrition．If they don’t have enough money, they can’t eat enough food and take in enough energy．In a word, money is very important to students．(189 words)

【題目】In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity; others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.

【1】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.

B. Opinions about competition are different among people.

C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition

【2】Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

A. It pushes society forward.

B. It builds up a sense of duty.

C. It improves personal abilities.

D. It encourages individual efforts.

【3】What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail ?

A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.

B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.

C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.

D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.

【4】Which point of view may the author agree to?

A. Every effort should be paid back.

B. Competition should be encouraged.

C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

【題目】Security—for the information on your smartphone, as well as for the phone itself---is a hot topic these days. The truth is that you’re packing a lot of sensitive information on your phone, and you should keep it safe.

When it comes to physical security, iPhone users would do well to download Find My iPhone, a free app from Apple that allows you to visit a website and see your (lost, stolen or misplaced) phone on the map. You can then sound an alarm, send a message that will pop up on its screen, lock the phone or erase all your data.

Android does not have an exact equivalent(等價(jià)物), but there are plenty of alternatives. A free app called Lookout offers the find-my-phone feature. The paid version allows you to wipe the data from your phone remotely.

Then there is your coffee shop’s WiFi network. Anyone with minimal technical expert skill can snoop on(窺視) people using shared wireless networks, harvesting passwords and other personal data. Lookout’s apps will caution you when you’ve logged on to an insecure network, but cannot protect you once you’re there.

In order to protect yourself on such networks, you can use a virtual private network, or V.P.N. This turns all your activity into nonsense to anyone trying to read along with you from across the Starbucks. It also keeps websites from tracking you and, if you’re traveling, allows you to get access to sites that may be blocked in other countries.

If you have an iPhone, the simplest V.P.N. app is probably Hotspot Shield, whose distinguishing feature is said to be that it automatically kicks in each time you start browsing (瀏覽), as opposed to other V.P.N. apps that require you to start them up manually(手動(dòng)). This matters, because even if you decide you want a V.P.N. app, you want to spend approximately zero time thinking about it. For the most part,thatwas true of Hotspot Shield, though occasionally it took a while to connect or temporarily lost connection without warning. I found myself having to turn the app on and off sometimes, which involved setting my phone constantly.

If even reading about the setting on your phone drives you crazy, then it is probably best to stay away from a V.P.N. app. But if you’re the type who can’t resist checking your bank balance from your comer bar, the hassle (麻煩) may be preferable to the risk.

【1】Which of the following can warn you against the insecure network?

A. Android B. V.P.N.

C. Lookout D. Find My iPhone

【2】By using V.P.N., users can ________.

A. find their lost phone on the Internet

B. remove all the data form the phone remotely

C. check the bank balance now and then

D. save their browsing from being tracked

【3】The underlined word “that” in Para.6 refers to the fact that _________.

A. a V.P.N. app kicks in automatically

B. the users starts V.P.N. apps manually

C. the app take a while to connect

D. users spend no time thinking about it

【題目】An extinct mountain goat that was once common in the Pyrenees became the first animal to be brought back from extinction. Researchers used frozen DNA to produce a clone, but the newborn kid died within minutes of birth due to breathing difficulties.

The Pyrenean ibex is a type of mountain goat，which is believed to have died out completely in 2000. Before the death of the last known individual（a13-year-old female known as Celia）, biologists took cells from her skin and ears. An earlier cloning attempt to use the skin cells failed. But the latest attempt involved the creation of 439 cloned embryos. Of these cloned embryos, 57 were put into the female domestic goats, but only one goat gave birth and the newborn cloned kid died after seven minutes as a result of lung disease.

Researchers say that other cloned animals, including sheep, have been born with similar lung disease, but they say that overall the experiment was a major step forward in the effort to bring the ibex back to its mountain home. The leading researcher Jose Folch says, “the cloned kid was genetically like the ibex；in species such as the ibex，cloning is the only possibility to avoid its complete disappearance.”

The failure to produce a living clone from DNA that was frozen only a decade ago shows the difficulty researchers would face in trying to bring back species that have been extinct（滅絕的） for decades or centuries. Researchers have had the idea of bringing back the Tasmanian tiger, which went extinct in 1936. There are, however, other species that have been seriously suggested for cloning，such as the giant panda, the African bongo antelope, the Sumatran tiger and the pygmy hippo. Supporters believe cloning provides hope of keeping these endangered animals alive before they die out．

【1】What do we know about the cloned ibex?

A. It died of lung disease.

B. It was the first cloned animal in the world.

C. It lived for thirteen years.

D. It was born in 2000.

【2】Jose Foleh would agree that cloning ．

A. is not suitable and should be banned.

B. requires immediate attention.

C. should be carried out cautiously.

D. may help prevent animal extinction.

【3】We can conclude from the passage that ．

A. cloning has developed quickly in developed countries.

B. no more animals will die out in the future.

C. cloning makes it possible to preserve endangered species.

D. cloning seldom results in physical problems for animals.

【4】What’s the best title for this passage?

A、Great advancement in cloning goats.

B、Difficulties in saving extinct animals.

C、Public concerns about cloning.

D、Cloning brought back an extinct species for a while.
