10．Many of us remember cloned dinosaurs running wild in the film Jurassic Park．And the idea of using technology to revive extinct species has long fascinated writers，directors，and scientists．
According to The Telegraph，woolly mammoths（长毛猛玛象） may walk the earth once more，now that scientists have taken another step toward realizing a long-held dream-recreating their DNA．Mammoths became extinct around 10，000years ago．However，since the discovery of near perfect preserved remains in Arctic permafrost（北极冻土带） in May 2013，a variety of research studies have been carried out since．
Geneticists analyzed DNA from the remains，looking for genes which separated mammoths from elephants，such as hairiness and ear size．They then used the results to reproduce exact copies of 14mammoth genes．"It is the first time that mammoth genes have been alive-although so far it has only been done in the lab，"Gorge Church，lead researcher of the project，told the Saturday Times．Church then used a new technique which allows scientists to edit DNA carefully，replacing sections of elephant DNA with the mammoth genes．So"we now have functioning elephant cells with mammoth DNA in them"，he said．
However，Church ruled out the possibility of bringing the mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains．He said he"preferred to focus on rebuilding the full mammoth genome by analyzing DNA from preserved remains and putting it into the cells of its closest living relative-the Asian elephant"，reported The Telegraph．Church argued that the return of the woolly mammoths-or rather，the return of something very similar-could help bring back fragile（脆弱的） ecosystems．However，some scientists believe that bringing back the mammoth would be unethical．
"What's the mess？We can be as irresponsible with the environment as we want，then we'll just clone things back？"Alex Greenwood，an expert on ancient DNA，told the Sunday Times，"Money would be better spent focusing on conserving what we do have than spending it on an animal that has been extinct for thousands of years．"
32．What can we infer from the passage？C
A．Scientific studies on reviving extinct species didn't begin until May 2013．
B．The technology to revive extinct species is already mature．
C．Church and his colleagues tried to reproduce mammoth DNA．
D．Church managed to list all the genes separating mammoths from elephants．
33．According to the text，ChurchC．
A．had serious doubts about discovering the full mammoth genome．
B．aimed to clone the extinct mammoth from frozen remains on his own．
C．could help save fragile ecosystem if bringing back something similar to the mammoth．
D．believe their successful experiment could change the Asian elephant into mammoths．
34．Alex Greenwood believes thatD．
A．it is unnecessary to worry about the extinction of Asian elephants at present．
B．it's necessary to bring back species beneficial to humans from extinction．
C．the return of the woolly mammoth would help to balance ecosystems．
D．it's more important to protect present species than to bring back extinct ones．
35．What's the best title of the passage？A
A．Mammoths could return？
B．Mammoths'return helps ecosystems．
C．Mammoths have been extinct for ages．
D．Mammoths'clone from frozen remains．

9．Sir Edmund Hillary is best known for being the first，along with climbing partner Tenzing Norgay，to reach the top of Mount Everest（珠穆朗玛峰）．However，he also made many visits to Antarctica（南极洲）．In 1957，he led the first trip over ice to the South Pole．Hillary also helped his home country，New Zealand，build a research center on Antarctica，called Scott Base．He visited it in January 2007，when he was 87years old．
In the 1900s，many people like Hillary saw Antarctica as an exciting place．Scientists are interested in how glaciers（冰川） flow and melt．They also worry that global（全球的） warming is making glaciers melt faster．It has caused a 75percent increase in ice loss in the last 10years，according to a new study．Scientists say ice loss could cause water levels around the world to rise faster than expected．Ice is melting faster than expected because of global warming．
Researchers in Antarctica are studying many other subjects too．Some use the cold weather and clear air as a way to study things that affect other parts of the globe．Antarctica has the cleanest air in the world．That allows scientists to compare the air there to the air in polluted places．Antarctica is the darkest place on earth，so it is a great place to study the stars．Some scientists are even studying penguin droppings（企鹅粪）．They have developed a new test to learn more about penguins'diets．

7．Luck's thought to happen by chance； it's not thought to be something you can plan for or obtain by intention．（36）CThere are ways in which you can tap into positive force and improve your luck．Indeed，luck's the product of our own mental focus and attitudes．Imagine by changing your focus，you can intentionally increase the amount of luck you experience in life．
Face Your Fears  The only way to get beyond a fear is to march straight through it．If you hide from your fears，you're hiding from new opportunity that might be waiting for you．（37）F
Be Curious  The more curious you're，the"luckier"you'll become．Curiosity will lead to roads you mightn't have travelled．You never know what opportunity might present through your creative and curious mind．
Take Baby Steps  （38）B The best and most effective way to achieve what you want is to take your dreams one small baby step at a time．
（39）G The luckiest and most successful people are the ones who have failed over and over，but didn't give up．They learned from their failures； filed them away as"feedback"，and they forged（稳步前进） ahead．
Ask for What You Want  It's no accident that those who're lucky and get what they want!Trust your desires and make requests without apology．（40）DIf your request is turned down，consider the answer to be a temporary"no"．It's okay to ask for what you want again at a different time．
All these behaviours are guaranteed to improve your luck for sure!

A．So you can't avoid them forever in life．
B．Success doesn't happen overnight．
C．However，luck isn't just a random（任意的） event．
D．Go for it!
E．Give your feedback
F．So stare down your fears and get back to your life．
G．Giving Up Is Not a Choice．

6．Literature has many different forms，such as poems，plays，essays，proses，novels and so on．
A poem is defined as a composition written in verse（韵文）．Poems rely heavily on imagery，precise word choice，and metaphor（暗喻） and may take either the form of measures consisting of patterns of stresses or of patterns of different-length syllables（音节）．But they don't necessarily make use of rhyme（韵）．Poetry appears earlier than other forms of literature．
Plays，or dramas，are another classical literary form that has continued to develop over the years．It generally consists chiefly of a dialogue between characters and is usually for theatrical performances rather than for reading．During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries，opera developed as a combination of poetry，drama，and music．
An essay consists of a discussion of a topic from an author's personal point of view．The word"essay"in English is from the French word meaning"attempt"．In this sense，it could be said to mean the author's attempt to make others accept their view．
Prose consists of writing that does not stick to any particular formal structures．Prose writing can take beautiful forms，but no because of the forms of words it uses．
A novel consists simply of a long story written in prose，yet this form has only developed comparatively recently．Early novels in Europe did not，at the time，count as significant literature，perhaps because"mere"prose writing seemed easy and unimportant．It has become clear，however，that prose writing can provide pleasure to those readers even though it doesn't stick to poetic forms．
32．What does the passage mainly deal with？B

5．After a good cry，I always feel cleaned，like my heart and mind just rubbed each other's backs in a warm bath．Tears are just one of many miracles which work so well that we take them for granted every day．Here are seven ways tears and the phenomenon we call"crying"heal us physiologically，psychologically and spiritually．
Tears Help Us See：The most basic function of tears is that they enable us to see．Tears not only lubricate（使润滑） our eyeballs and eyelids，they also prevent dehydration（脱水） of our various cells．No lubrication，no eyesight．Without tears，life would be completely different and eyesight would be blocked out altogether．
Tears Kill Bacteria（细菌）：No need for wipes．We've got tears!Our own antibacterial is working for us，fighting off all the bacteria we pick up on community computers，shopping carts，public sinks，and all those places the unpleasant little guys make their homes．
Tears Remove Poisons：Emotional tears contained more poisonous byproducts than tears of anger．Are tears poisonous then？No!They actually remove poisons from our body that build up stress．They're like a natural treatment，but they cost a lot less!
Crying Can Raise Mood：The act of crying can actually lower a person's manganese（锰） level．Emotional tears contain 24% higher protein concentration than angry tears．
Crying Lowers Stress：Tears really are like sweat，in that exercising and crying both relieve stress．Stopping tears increase stress levels，and contribute to diseases worsen by stress，such as high blood pressure and heart problems．
Tears Build Community：Crying not only contributes to good health，but it also builds community．Tears help communication and promote community．
Tears Release Feelings：Crying is medicine．It lets the devils out with the nervous and cardiovascular（心脏血管的） systems．All these feelings need to be felt．We need to stomp（跺脚） and storm； to sob and cry； to sweat and tremble．
21．Which is the most important function of tears？D
A．Killing bacteria．
B．Lowering stress．
C．Removing poison．
D．Lubrication．
