9.Dear Alcohol,
You've been around forever.I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.
Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life?I do.He loves you.Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me.He's addicted to you,to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them.You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street,crashing into two other cars.He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party?You were there.My friends were intrigued by you.They treated you as if they were never going to see you again,drinking all of you that they could.I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely."I'm so embarrassed,"they said a s I held their hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐)."I'm sorry,"they said when I called taxies for them,walking them out and paying the driver in advance."This won't happen again,"they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped.Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons?Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car?He died the next morning too.His sister walked home from her dance lesson,and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio.She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all.She never saw him again.And it's all your fault.
I wish you'd walk out of my life forever.I don't want anything to do with you.Look at all the pain you've caused.Sure,you've made people happy too from time to time.But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable.Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love.Stop hurting me,please.
Sincerely,
Anonymous

"The kids develop a love of reading,"Ramcke said."Studying doesn't become as hard to them when they learn how to explain it a little bit better.They learn how to think about their words.Their team communication skills and their grades go up."

7.It is well known that Einstein was the father of the famous Theory of Relativity.But do you know it owes(归功)a great deal to Marits,Einstein's former wife?
In 1896,17-year-old Einstein went to Zurich to study physics.There he met a girl from Hungary.They studied in the same class.The same interest brought the two together and the young man fell in love with Marits.In 1903,when Einstein was 24years old,he married Marits,who was 4years older than he.
After their marriage,Einstein devoted himself to the research of the great theory.To give her husband more help,Marits gave up her own work,and became a good wife and assistant.She tried her best to encourage him whenever possible and she was sure that her husband would succeed.They often discussed the theory while walking outside or sitting together in the room.They even discussed it in their letters when one of them was away from home.
In 1914,the Einsteins moved to Berlin and settled there.At that time,Einstein's theory proved to be correct and he had become famous all over the world.Marits was very proud of him and his success.But it was not long before the First World War broke out.Marits as well as her two sons,who were all on holidays in Switzerland,couldn't come back to Berlin.The war not only stopped Einstein's work but broke up the warm,happy family.In 1919,Einstein and Marits had to get divorced (离婚).
Einstein himself,however,later said that Marits was really an outstanding(杰出的) woman.
33.From the first paragraph,we can infer that the passage is mostly aboutC.
A.Einstein's famous theory        
B.the life of Einstein and his former wife
C.Einstein's former wife          
D.Marits's love for Einstein
34.Einstein fell in love with Marits mainly because theyB.
A.were in the same school      
B.had the same interest
C.appreciated each other        
D.came from different countries
35.By the year of 1914,Einstein hadA.
A.become famous all over the world    
B.been proud of his success

14.Chinese are very generous (慷慨) when it comes to educating their children.Not caring about the money,parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England,the United States or Australia.They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet(芭蕾舞),or other classes that will give them a head start in life.The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is,the better it is.So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education.Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However,what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children's skills vary,skilled in some areas while poor in others.What most parents fail to realize though,is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence (自信).
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well,but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident,happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking,sewing and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.Cooking demands patience and time.It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.A good cook always tries to improve his cooking,so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully.His result,a well-cooked dinner,will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
Some old machines,such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse(唤起) his interest.He will spend hours looking at them,trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up.These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book,but rather to think,to use his mind.And that is more important.
12.Parents in China,according to this passage,C.
A.are too strict with their children
B.are too rich to educate their children
C.have some problems in educating their children correctly
D.are too poor to educate their children
13.The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied withA.
A.the parents'ideas of educating their children   
B.the education system
C.children's skills                                      
D.children's hobbies
14.Doing some cooking at home helps childrenC.
A.learn how to serve their parents
B.learn how to become strong and fat
C.benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future
D.make their parents believe that they are clever
15.According to the last paragraph we can conclude thatB.
A.broken radios and television sets are useful
B.one's curiosity may be useful for his later life
C.an engineer must fix many broken radios
D.a good student should spend much time repairing radios.

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.
