【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Americans use the term “college students” to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off to university” or “when I was in university.” That sounds British.
Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.
But many colleges do not offer graduate studies. Another difference is that universities are generally bigger.
Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities.
Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word “university” came from the Latin universities, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose. In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.
The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true. For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.
A. A college can also be a part of a university.
B. They offer more programs and do more research.
C. There are more universities than colleges in the USA.
D. Colleges and universities have many things in common.
E. Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities.
F. Instead, they say “going off to college” or “when I was in college.”
G. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning.

【答案】F;D;B;G;A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了在美国大学和学院的区别和共同之处。
(1)考查上下文理解题。根据上文"Americans almost never say 'oing off to university' or 'when I was in university. '”可知,美国人几乎不说“going off to university” or “when I was in university. ”但是他们说,“going off to college” and “when I was in college.”。这是逻辑的衔接。不说……而说……。可知F项符合上下文。判断选F项。
(2)考查上下文理解题。根据下文Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.可知,谈得是两者的共同点。与D项吻合。可知选D。
(3)考查上下文理解题。根据前文But many colleges do not offer graduate studies.可知,college不提供进一步学习。而universities则提供更多的课程和研究。可知这里B项符合上下文。故选B项。
(4)考查上下文理解题。根据前文The word “university” came from the Latin universities, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose.可知,前后对应都说各自的来源。故G项符合上下文。故选G。
(5)考查上下文理解题。根据下文的For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.可知这是总说和分说的关系。说明A项符合上下文。故选A。

【题目】With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. That's a move similar to what Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called "Noah's Ark".

Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M's College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal. The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.

"The nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem," Kraemer believes. "They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy. It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort," adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.

"They are trying to do something that's never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah's Ark. We're both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there's a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It's a research that is very much needed."

1The aim of "Noah's Ark" project is to __________.

A. save endangered animals from dying out

3The best title for the passage may be __________.

B. The First Cloned Panda in the World

C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas

D. China — the Native Place of Pandas Forever

4From the passage we know that __________.

A. scientists try to implant a panda's egg into a rabbit

B. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog

C. two thousand species will probably die out in over a century

D. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches

My best friends gave me a present in a box on my birthday. It was a little heavy, which made me very curiously. So I intended to open it at once but she prevented me do so. She said I mustn't open it until I went back home but gave me a naughty smile. Although there is a strong desire in my mind to know that was inside the box, I just did as she said. On the way to home, all I did was thinking about the puzzle. Finally I opened the box. It was a cup printing with a pink word — friendship. It was so lovely that I liked very much.
Now, every time I use a cup, I will think about her and the friendship between us.
