5．The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags．Only the basic flags of Austria，Denmark，Great Britain，the Netherlands，Sweden，and Switzerland are older．
During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States，the flags of various European nations were flown over the land，as symbols of possession．Later，in the Colonial and Revolutionary War periods，flags representing famous persons，places，and events were flown in the American Colonies．
The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14，1777．It consisted of 13alternate red and white stripes and 13white stars in a field of blue，representing the 13colonies that had declared their independence in 1776．Congress adopted a new flag of 15stars and 15stripes in 1795to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union，Vermont and Kentucky．
By 1817，there were 20states in the Union，and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag．As a result，Congress in 1818restored the original design of 13stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star．In 1912President William H．Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars．He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each．Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker's fancy．
The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States．After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959，the flag was officially changed for the 26th times since its creation．There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national flag．Among them are the president's and vice-president's flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies．Each state in the Union has an official flag．The United States Navy uses special flags for signaling．
32．The basic flag of the United States isB．
A．the oldest national flag in the world．
B．one of the world's oldest flags．
C．the most beautiful flag in the West．
D．as old as the basic flags of some European nations．
33．The first official flag of the United States was adoptedD．
A．before the Independence War
B．right after the Independence War
C．in the following year of the Independence War．
D．when independence was declared in 1776
34．The 13red and white stripes and 13white stars representB．
A.13independent states
B．the colonies that declared independence in 1776
C．the U．S．Congress
D.13famous figures in the American colonies
35．Why was the original design of 13stripes restored in 1818？D
A．The American people suggested it．
B．Congress insisted 13is the best number．
C．That was a decision President Taft had made．
D．Too many stripes would destroy the shape of the flag．

4．Plant cloning has been an agricultural technique used by farmers and gardeners for centuries．Grafting （嫁接） is a common form of plant cloning．Many plants in nature actually clone themselves and reproduce asexually．
Cloned plants are much more predictable than normal plants，so their yield （产量） is more reliable．Cloned plants also reproduce faster，limiting the amount of time between planting and harvesting．It is also often cheaper to produce seeds through cloning than through traditional methods．Plants can essentially be optimized so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds available．With more yield at a faster rate，farms can produce more food for more people while decreasing overall costs．
Cloning can be used to wipe out diseases that previously killed off entire fields of crops．This would make plants immune （免疫的） to the kinds of diseases that farmers and gardeners around the world fear each year．Crop failures due to disease and virus could become a thing of the past．Also，plants that are near extinction can be brought back to life through cloning．
Through cloning scientists can develop"super"fruits and vegetables of superior nutritional quality．This could make for a healthier population overall．This is already being done through selective pollination （授粉），and genetic cloning could take it to the next level．
By plant cloning we have a population of identical plants and all these plants equally suffer from the same diseases，but in nature the weak would die and the strong would survive．While there are some dangers to consider with plant cloning，there are plenty of benefits that could prove vital to the propagation （繁衍） of the human species．
29．The underlined word"optimized"in Paragraph 2can be replaced by"C"．
A．enlarged
B．produced
C．perfected
D．examined
30．According to the text，cloned plantsD．
A．have lower yield than normal plants
B．need little care from people
C．resist various kinds of diseases
D．have a short growth cycle
31．What is the main purpose of the text？D
A．To warn the negative effects of plant cloning．
B．To present different kinds of plant cloning．
C．To predict the future of plant cloning．
D．To inform us about the advantages of plant cloning．

3．No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world，but estimates suggest the figure is over 450million．The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada．
In the United Kingdom，about one in ten people have some disability．Disability is not just something that happens to other people：as we get older，many of us will become less mobile，hard of hearing or have failing eyesight．
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life．Some people are born with disabilities．Many others become disabled as they get older．There are many progressive disabling diseases．The longer time goes on，the worse they become．Some people are disabled in accidents．Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness．All are affected by people's attitude towards them．
Disabled people face many physical barriers．Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends，imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps，or on to buses and trains．How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic？But there are other barriers：prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all．It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through，so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability，not their disability，which counts．
25．The first paragraph points out thatC．
A．India has much more disabled people than Canada
B．the number of disabled people in India is the greatest
C．there are many disabled people in the world
D．it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people

B．There are about 10percent disabled persons in the UK
C．The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people
D．There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance
28．It can be concluded from the passage thatA．
A．we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled
B．both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down
C．we should try our best to prevent disablement
D．the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled．

2．If You Make a Mistake，Don't Worry!
Yeah，you'll want to forget about them，but mistakes can be useful．Making a mistake doesn't mean it's the end of the world．In real life you have to grow and mature，and with that comes some growing pains．
You know you should have studied hard but you went out with some friends instead．You know you should have put the money into the bank for a rainy day instead of spending it on all kinds of things you didn't need．
It's the growing pains called mistakes that most people make when they are growing up．Face them．You are going to make them．Learn from them．All of the people you wish to copy，such as all the experts in your business field，have made mistakes．They'll continue to make mistakes for all their successes．
One of the major differences between people like them and the vast majority（大多数）of others is that they don't let their mistakes stop them．Instead，they use their mistakes as learning tools．
At the very least，when you make a mistake，you'll know what not to do．And you can help others by warning them of the mistakes you've made．Don't let mistakes stop you from doing anything．Learn from them，don't hide in a closet．Facing up to your mistakes now and later will mature．
What mistakes are you making right now？Take a look at anything you might be doing wrong．Take a step back and evaluate your situation，then fix whatever needs to be corrected．Then move forward．
Always remember your mistakes to remind yourself of what not to do for the future．
21．Why does the writer say mistakes can be useful？B
