    2．Every year some 15，000 animals-mostly mice-are shipped into the UK for research．Some leading scientists are warning that pressure from animal rights activists is reducing the number of animals being brought into Britain for research．All ferry companies and all but two airlines have stopped importing animals intended for research laboratories．
    Lord Drayson，who was a minister under the last Labour government，said animal research was"regrettably"necessary and that people would"suffer and die"without it．"If we do want to have access to medicines，and I believe that we do-in a survey carried out in the past 10 years more than 87% of the general public have said that they support animal research for medical uses．And so unfortunately we do have to do this．"
    However，Alistair Currie from People，for the Ethical Treatment of Animals （PETA） said researchers should work harder to come up with alternatives to animal testing．"More man 90% of drugs that pass trials in animals fail when they're given to people，"he said．They either prove to be unsafe or simply ineffective．"
    The BBC's Tom Fielden says animal rights campaigners have been imprisoned for taking direct action against laboratories in the past and more recently have focused on creating bad PR （public relations）．He says this has included letter-writhing and web-based campaigns against transport companies，which appear to have had an effect．
    But the scientists who depend on the animals for their work have now decided to speak out to try to persuade the government and the transpon companies to stand up to the campaigners．Professor Robin Lovell-Badge，a geneticist at me National Institute for Medical Research （NIMR），told the BBC it was important that scientists were able to import animals，so they could work together with colleagues abroad．Dominic Wells of the Royal Veterinary College （RVC） said，"The problem is that they can't be put in a suitable transport．"
    63．Now animal rights campaigners are trying to affect importing animals byD．
        A．finding alternatives to animal testing    B．creating bad public relations
        C．taking direct action against labs         D．stopping transport animals to UK
    64．According to Lord Drayson，importing animals isA
        A．optional                             B．necessary                     
        C．unreasonable                         D．unconditional
    65．Who is against importing animals for research？B
        A．Alistair Currie form PETA．       B．Tom Fielden from the BBC．
        C．Robin Lovell-Badge from the NIMR． D．Dominic Wells from the RVC．
    66．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？A
        A．Activists stopping direct action against imports
        B．Importing animals contributing to medicine
        C．Activists'pressure slowing animal imports
        D．No animal imports，no medical research．

    分析 本文主要讲述动物保护积极分子阻止进口用于研究性活动的动物．

    12．Liquid Paper （修正液） was invented by Bette Nesmith Graham．She was 17when she got a job at a Texas bank as a secretary，even though she didn't know how to type．The company she worked for sent her to a secretary school，and she was typing in no time at all．
    The 1950s had seen the widespread use of the electric typewriter，which typed faster but also meant more mistakes．Also，mistakes made by early electric typewriters were very hard to erase，which caused problems for Bette．
    In order to make extra money she used her talent to paint holiday windows at the bank．Then one day，it suddenly occurred to her that she could create a paint to cover up type-
    writing mistakes．
    It worked!In 1956，Bette sold her first bottles of the new product，which she called"Mistake Out"．She made it in her kitchen，and her son Michael and his friends bottled it in the family garage．
    By 1957，she was selling 100bottles a month and had gotten a patent （专利） for her product，which she now called"Liquid Paper．"Sales continued to grow，as more and more people heard about Liquid Paper，through word-of-mouth and by reading about it in magazines．
    In the 1960s，Bette bought a machine to help her produce Liquid Paper in large quantities．In 1971，she sold 2million bottles．In 1979，she sold the company for 47.5million dollars．She didn't live to see the end of the contract （合同），dying in 1980，at the age of 56，in Texas．
    Bette's invention continues to be used every day by secretaries and other people in the office and wherever typewriters are used．

    21．When Bette began to work in a bank，sheC．

    17．A new study showed that one of the best ways to control greenhouse gas emissions（温室气体排放） is to eat less meat．In fact，the study showed that meat consumption（食用量） in developed countries should be cut by 50% per person before 2050．
    Meat production and consumption are expected to rise very quickly to a high level by 2050．That's because the global population is expected to grow from the present 7billion to 9billion．But also，the diets of people in many developing countries are changing．Countries that are developing rapidly are seeing a fast rise in protein consumption，especially red meat．
    Dr．Eric Davidson，the president and senior scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts，said changing the way people eat can have a great effect on greenhouse gas emissions．People in developed countries，he said，already eat much more protein than the daily requirement．
    "In the developed world，there is large room for us to manage the frequency with which we eat meat．If there is a growing need for meat，that is going to end up requiring use of more nitrogen fertilizer（肥料） and production of more livestock manure（家畜粪肥），both of which end up resulting in release of various forms of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere，"he said．
    Davidson said farmers should be encouraged to use fertilizers and manure in a more careful way．"If we want to meet the greatest goal of making harmful climate change under control，we need to improve the efficiency（效能） with which we use fertilizers in agriculture．We need to improve the efficiency of the management of manure．And we also need to consider changes in dietary patterns（饮食方式）．And that means hopefully better diets in the developing world and better balanced diets in the developed world，"he said．
    Even if it were possible to turn off all harmful greenhouse gas emissions today，he said climate change would continue．"But that does not mean that we can do nothing for  it  now，because the sooner we start to take action，the more choices our children and grandchildren will have in terms of being able to feed themselves and have comfortable lifestyles without environmental degradation（退化），"he said．

    28．According to the new study，eating less meat isD．
    A．one of the best ways to keep healthy
    B．an effective way to develop the economy
    C．the best way to control greenhouse gas emissions
    D．a good way to protect the environment
    29．In paragraph 4，what does Dr．Eric Davidson mainly talked about？C
    A．The harms of releasing various greenhouse gases
    B．The side effects of producing fertilizers and manure
    C．The effects of growing need for meat on the environment
    D．The ways of managing the frequency of eating meat
    30．The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers toB．
    A．the environment
    B．climate change
    C．greenhouse gases
    D．the lifestyle
    31．In Dr．Eric Davidson's opinion，C．
    A．it's important to encourage farmers to use fertilizers
    B．our future generations will live more comfortably
    C．a balanced diet is helpful in controlling climate change
    D．it's completely possible to control greenhouse gas emissions．

    7．Being Authoritative （由权威的） Parents
    Phrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language．Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort，we might turn out children with bright futures．But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"？
    Parental involvement has a long history of being studied．Many of the studies，conducted by Diana Baumrind，a famous psychologist at the University of California，Berkeley，have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way，who sets high expectations but gives her child independence．These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically，psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved，or controlling and more involved．Why is this parenting style so successful？
    Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children．Carol Dweck，a social psychologist at Stanford University，has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children．In a typical experiment，Dr．Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle．Most do so with little difficulty．But then Dr．Dweck tells some，but not all，of the kids how clever they are．As it turns out，the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles．They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving．
    As the experiment suggests，praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence．Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart"．Dr．Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr．Baumrind，who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference （干涉） causes better academic and emotional results．
    The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident．If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk，you reduce her confidence．Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting．It is easier when they are young．The potential mistakes carry greater risks，and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children．

    67．According to the passage，a"tiger mom"D．
    A．helps her children realize their dreams
    B．speaks her children's everyday language
    C．places reasonable expectations on her children
    D．pays close attention to her children's experiences
    68．It is implied that controlling style of parenting mayC．
    A．face more challenges of children
    B．foster independence in children
    C．cause more problems in children
    D．lead to children's academic success
    69．The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests thatB．
    A．a good game plays a big role in training young minds
    B．overpraising makes children less motivated and confident
    C．puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
    D．bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
    70．The last paragraph tells us thatC．
    A．children should not be given much freedom
    B．parents should not increase the risk of challenging
    C．parents should allow their children to learn from mistakes
    D．children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents．

    14．Homeownership has let us down．For generations，Americans believed that owning a home was undoubtedly good．Our political leaders hammered home the point．Franklin Roosevelt held that a country of homeowners was"unconquerable．"Homeownership could even save babies，save children，save families and save America．A house with a lawn and a fence wasn't just a nice place to live in or a risk-free investment； it was a way to transform a nation．No wonder leaders of all political types wanted to spend more than﹩100billion a year on subsidies and tax breaks to encourage people to buy．
    But the dark side of homeownership is now all too apparent：Indeed，easy lending stimulated by the cult of homeownership may have triggered the financial crisis．Housing remains a drag on the economy．Existing-home sales in April dropped 27% from the prior month，worsening fears of a double-dip．And all that is just the obvious tale of a housing bubble and what happened when it popped．The real story is deeper and darker still．
    For the better part of a century，politics，industry and culture lined up to create a fetish of the idea of buying a house．Homeownership has done plenty of good over the decades； it has provided stability to tens of millions of families．Yet by idealizing the act of buying a home，we have ignored the downsides．In the bubble years，lending standards slipped dramatically，allowing many Americans to put far too much of their income into paying for their housing．And we ignored longer-term phenomena too．Homeownership contributed to the hollowing out of cities and kept renters out of the best neighborhoods．It fed America's overuse of energy and oil．It made it more difficult for those who had lost a job to find another．Perhaps worst of all，it helped us become casually self-deceiving：By telling ourselves that homeownership was a pathway to wealth and stable communities and better test scores，we avoided dealing with these frightening issues head-on．
    Now，as the U．S．recovers from the biggest housing bust（破产）since the Great Depression，it is time to rethink how realistic our expectations of homeownership are-and how much money we want to spend chasing them．Many argue that homeownership should not be a goal pursued at all costs．

    A．owning a home was undoubtedly good
    B．homeownership was unconquerable

    11．Xiangzi-Lucky，in English-is appropriately named．His owner Qiu Hong，a sports marketer，lets the dog enjoy two daily walks，a collection of imported American toys，$300 worth of monthly food and treats and his own sofa in her high-rise apartment．When Ms．Qiu feels bored，she takes Xiangzi out for a long run in her car．
    In a sense，Xiangzi is not just a dog，but a social phenomenon-and，perhaps，a marker of how quickly the Chinese nation is booming through its transformation from poor farmer to first-world citizen．Twenty years ago，there were hardly any dogs in Beijing，but now there're 900，000 registered dogs with countless thousands of others unlicensed．How this came to be is，in some ways，the story of modern China as well．
    "People used to be focused on improving their own lives，and they weren't really acquainted with raising dogs，"said Ms．Qiu．"But with the improvement in the economy，people's outlooks （观念） have changed．"
    Having a dog can be a way to relieve the stress in people's lives，but mostly Beijing dogs have，as in the West，become objects of affection-even devotion-by their owners．It's easy to find dog-treat stores，dog Web sites，dog social networks，dog swimming pools-even，for a time recently，a bring-your-dog cinema and a bring-your-dog bar on Beijing's downtown nightclub row．
    The doglike devotion of pet owners here seems to have softened the city government heart．In 1994，Beijing officials relaxed their no-dog policy to"severely restrict"dogs．In 2003，it was changed again to allow anyone to own a dog，but to limit city dogs to no more than 35 centimeters  in height．And nowadays the restriction seems to be loosely carried out．
    As for stir-fried Pekingese （京叭狗）-well，that dog，too，may have seen its day．A formal suggestion to ban the eating of dogs has been made by a law professor named Chang Jiwen，who considered himself"not so much a dog lover as a China lover"．"With China developing so quickly，more people should know how to treat animals properly，"he said in a telephone interview．
     
    66．What's the main idea of the first paragraph？B
    A．Xiang Zi is a clever dog
    B．Xiangzi lives a happy life．
    C．Qiu Hong has a lot of money
    D．Qiu Hong is very busy．
    67．Paragraph Four mainly shows that BeijingersB．
    A．live under too much pressure                                
    B．love dogs very much
    C．are good at making money                                     
    D．have modernized their city
    68．Judging from the article，we can know thatA．
    A．pet owners can be as devoted as the dog
    B．there were no dogs in Beijing before 2003
    C．Beijing strictly bans dogs above 35cm high in practice
    D．Chang Jiwen spoke for dog lovers only
    69．Which is NOT mentioned in the article？D
    A．China's economical development．
    B．The psychological problems in modern society．
    C．People's attitude towards animals．
    D．The problems caused by dog keeping．
    70．Which can be the best title of the article？C
    A．Chinese Dogs Are Lucky                                          
    B．Dogs Help Humans Live Better
    C．Dogs Reflect China's Rise                                       
    D．Dogs Enjoy More Freedom In Beijing．
