Hello, children and parents. Thank you all for coaling to this meeting. I’d like to start by confirming that we will receive some money from the government for our school trip to Indonesia. We will receive approximately $ 1,300 per child, which will reduce the overall cost to you.
Now that we are sure to get the money, it is time to do some serious planning. We are sure that the trip will be very exciting for the children, especially if they have not traveled overseas before. There are many benefits to having some exposure to different places and cultures. Your children will be able to learn a lot about other people and cultures on this trip.
Leanne is with us tonight. Leanne, where are you? Put up your hand, Leanne, so that the people can see who you are. Thank you. Leanne went on the trip last year and will be happy to tell you of her experiences and answer any questions you might have. We will hear from her a bit later in the meeting.
We only have five months to organize the trip. From past experience I can tell you that this time will go very quickly! So we need to start organizing the trip. This is the agenda for tonight’s meeting;
* Passport: when and how to apply for one
* Schedule: what places we will visit
* Health matters: what precautions you need to take, plus any special needs that your child may have
* Studying: description of the school and type of lessons your child will attend
* Money: paying for the trip, plus how much money your child should take

It was a cool autumn day, a day to 36 . That was the day young women everywhere wait their whole lives for, and I knew in my heart I would 37 those moments forever.

My grandfather grew up in war－torn Europe. When German soldiers occupied his home-town, the thriving city of Tarow, Poland, he refused to obey them and eventually joined the Soviet army to fight for his country’s freedom. “Stand straight, stand tall,” he told himself.
After the war, in 1947, he boarded a boat for Manhatan. He was hungry and suffering from seasickness. All alone in a new country, he was frightened about his future. Still, he marched head-on into the hustle of the streets of New York. Soon he met other European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way. If they could do it, why couldn’t he? “Stand straight, stand tall,” he would remind himself.
Thanks to the help of a loyal and trusting friend, my grandfather gained a jewelry booth on Canal Street, New York City. He once told me how nervous he was on that first day of work. He was not only trying to learn this tough new business, but also a new language.
To his surprise, the men in neighboring booths－who could have taken advantage of him－offered their help and advice. Within months, my grandfather was commanding his spot behind the counter, selling diamonds and cultured pearls as if he’d been doing it his whole life.
Stand straight and stand tall.
In later years, my grandfather would take both my mother and her sister down the aisle at their weddings. As he stood with each of them, he thought about their new beginnings, and of the adventures and journeys they would experience together. He also thought about the children who would one day carry on his family name.

If you have ever been rock climbing, then you will know that it is not a very easy sport. In fact you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are both extremely demanding and, like anything else, require practice, to get good at. What most people don’t know is that the sport of rock climbing is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports there is.
There are three basic types of rock climbing. Top roping is probably one of the most common types and is basically climbing with a partner. The second type, which is very similar to top roping, is called lead climbing. In both of these types of rock climbing the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope.
The third type of rock climbing is called bouldering. Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes. This is the most demanding of all climbing types. The climber must be able to complete the climbing without taking a rest on the rope.
Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms. To climb efficiently and successfully, a person needs to have a wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have three points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both hands, as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two. Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your legs are actually pushing you upward. Also, the closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb.
Rock climbing may sound a bit too extreme for the everyday person but it really is an amazing workout. Once you get into the sport, and learn how to position your body and rest your weight, then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems. The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally challenging as well. You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves on the wall. For anyone who wants to get into shape, rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles.
71．What does the author think of rock climbing?
A．It is an easy sport. B．It is challenging.
C．It is quite dangerous. D．It is extremely difficult.
72．According to this passage, we know that __________.
A．indoor rock climbing is much easier than outdoor rock climbing
B．while rock climbing, people depend mainly on their arms
C．ordinary people can practise rock climbing
D．during climbing, the climber can always stop for a rest
73．It is much easier for a rock climber if he ___________ while climbing.
A．takes a rope B．has a partner
C．has three points touching the wall D．uses feet more often
74．___________ will make rock climb easier.
A．Keeping the body closer to the wall
B．Resting more often on the arms

(山东省滨州市2007届高三第四次模拟考试B篇)
The Food and Drug Administration is, again, threatening to impose milk and meat from cloned animals on a public that opposes the technology and its products.
Respected polls report that more than 60% of Americans think animal cloning is immoral, and that most people said they wouldn’t knowingly eat the products even if the FDA approved them. But because the FDA would allow cloned meat and milk to be sold without identifying labels, consumers wouldn’t be able to avoid them. The FDA has consistently tilted toward those who want cloned milk and meat in our food. Agency officials have repeatedly asserted that science shows cloned milk and meat are safe for humans. But the FDA has never published the complete scientific studies it says support that claim.
The argument that cloning is safe for animals is unconvincing. Cloned meat and milk offer no public economic benefits. Having cloned cows produce more milk wouldn’t reduce milk prices. US farmers produce more milk than we drink, and the government is required to buy the surplus. Since 2000, dairy support programs have cost taxpayers more than $ 5 billion.
Most important, this first decision to advance animal biotechnology raises ethical issues beyond the FDA’s expertise. Techniques used to clone animals will advance the ability to clone humans－and create animals with human genes. Neither the agency nor animal scientists are qualified to tell us whether and when it is ethically acceptable for humans to alter the essential nature of animals. We need a national discussion, including ethicists and religious leaders, to consider the wisdom of cloned and transgenic animals. Given the risk of unintended consequences, we should proceed cautiously. The president should halt further FDA action on cloning and set in motion a process for beginning this broader discussion.
61．The author’s attitude towards cloning is __________.
A．neutral B．opposed C．approving D．supportive
62．In US many people buy cloned foods __________.
A．to support the new technique
B．because FDA approved them
C．because they cannot tell which is cloned food
D．because thy cannot read the labels.
63．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Because more milk is produced by cloned cows, the milk price is reduced.
B．American farmers produce more milk than the people can consume.
C．FDA approved that cloned food is safe for human beings.
D．More and more people accept cloned milk and meat.
64．From the text we know that cloning technique ___________.
A．developed well enough to clone human beings
B．may cause unintended bad results to human beings
C．will bring more unexpected economic benefits
D．is supported by ethicists and religious leaders
65．What’s the best title of this passage?
A．Publice Is Against Cloned Food B．Benefits of Cloned Food
C．Cloned Food Is Illegal D．Technique in Cloned Food
