4．Almost 80% of the Americans have stated their opposition to cloning pet animals such as cats and dogs，yet companies still try to make a business out of selling cloned pets．Pet cloning has been promoted as a way to"bring back"or"copy"a beloved companion animal．However，studies have shown that cloning remains an experimental technology with many failures．
Behind each lovely picture of a cloned cat or dog lie hundreds of animals that were kept in lab cages，receiving bad treatment to produce just that one cloned animal．For all that，you end up with a cloned animal who is unlikely to appear like the original physically or behaviorally and may experience serious health problems．Also，while pet cloning companies are charging customers up to﹩150，000 for a cloned pet，millions of homeless animals of the same species are available in US animal shelters for around﹩100．Unfortunately，most of these animals are killed for lack of adopting homes．
With No Pet Cloning campaign，the American Anti-Vivisection Society （AAVS） tries to protect both animals and people from harm．They campaigned until the US companies that sold cloned animals closed their doors．First it was Genetic Savings & Clone Inc．a(chǎn)nd then it was BioArts International．
When BioArts was closed，its owner，Lou Hawthorne，finally had to acknowledge the problems of pet cloning．According to Hawthorne，he has seen numerous failures during his pet cloning attempts，"One clone----which was supposed to be black and white----was born greenish-yellow where it should have been white （we still have no good explanation for how that happened）．"
The AAVS is educating the public about the animal suffering and is seeking regulation of cloning activities．They will continue to take the lead in protecting animals from the threats of pet cloning．

61．From the passage，we know thatC．
A．pets are often deserted by their owners
B．more and more people have joined the AAVS
C．most American are against cloning pet animals
D．the American Anti-Vivisection Society is supported by the government
62．According to the passage，companies keep on selling cloned pets toB．
A．carry on scientific studies
B．get economic interests
C．protect pet animals
D．comfort animal lovers
63．What does the author try to do by writing the second paragraph？A
A．To tell the truth behind pet cloning．
B．To show the method of pet cloning．
C．To compare pet animals with homeless ones．
D．To save the animals kept in labs and shelters．
64．The underlined word"acknowledge"probably meansC．
A．a(chǎn)ccept  B．study  C．a(chǎn)dmit  D．manage
65．According to the passage，the AAVS devotes itself toD．
A．getting most countries to fight against pet cloning
B．improving the technology of pet cloning
C．saving lots of animals from bad situations
D．stopping US companies'selling cloned animals．

5．If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen，beginning in 2011．The company Terrafugia，based in Woburn，Massachusetts，says it plans to deliver its car-plane，the Transition，to customers by the end of 2011．
"It's the next‘wow'vehicle，"said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh．"Anybody can buy a Ferrari，but as we say，F(xiàn)erraris don't fly．"
The car plane has wings that unfold for flying-a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving．A runway is still required to take off and land．
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies，although it is both．The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations，and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations．
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly．They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports：You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go．When you land，you fold up the wings and hit the road．There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport-you park it in the garage at home．
The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10，000feet．It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1，430pounds，including fuel and passengers．Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal（臨界）conditions．
The Transition's price tag：$194，000，But there may be additional charges for options like a radio，transponder or GPS．Another option is a full-plane parachute．
"If you get into a very awful situation，it  is the necessary safety option，"Gersh said．
So far，the company has more than 70orders with deposits．"We're working very closely with them，but there are still some remaining steps，"Brown said．

56．We can learn from the first paragraph thatB．
A．car-planes will be popular in 2011
B．people might drive a car-plane in 2011
C．both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
57．lt takes the car-plane one minute toB．
A．fold and unfold its wings           B．unfold wings for flying
C．land in the airport                 D．meet flying safety regulations
58．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true？C
A．The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land．
B．To meet aircraft regulations，the company has been working with FAA．
C．The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes．
D．People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home．
59．The underlined word"it"in the last but one paragraph refers toD．
A．the radio        B．the transponder      C．the GPS      D．the full-plane parachute
60．What's the best title for the passage？A
A．Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner
B．Which to Choose：A Ferrari or a Car Plane？
C．A more Convenient and Cheaper Way to Fly
D．Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes．

9．Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child．Last spring one at the two，Australia，gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family leave starting in 20ll．I wasn't surprised when this didn't make the news here in the United States-we're now the only wealthy country without such a policy．
The United States does have one explicit family policy，the Family and Medical Leave Act，passed in 1993．It entitles workers to as much as 12weeks'unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem．Despite the modesty of the benefit，the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly，describing it as"government-run personnel management and a"dangerous precedent （先例）．"In fact，every step of the way，as （usually）Democratic leaders have tried to incrouce work-family balance measures into the law，business groups have been strongly opposed．
As Yale law professor Anne Alstott argues，justifying parental support depends on defining （定義）the family as a social good that in some sense，society must pay for．Parents are burdened in many ways in their lives：there is''no exit"when it comes to children．Society expects-and needs-parents to provide their children with continuity of care．And society expects-and needs-parents to persist in their roles for 18years，or longer if needed．
While most parents do this out of love，there are public punishments for not providing care．What parents do，in other words，is of deep concern to the state，for the obvious reason，that caring for children is not only morally urgent but important to the future of society．To classify parenting as a personal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting：really，it is to steal those benefits because they accrue （累積） to the whole of society as today's children become tomorrow's citizens．In fact，by some estimates，the value of parental investments in children，investments of time and money，is equal to 20-30% of GDP．If these investments bring huge social benefits-as they clearly do-the benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer．

67．What do we learn about paid family leave from Paragraph 1？D
A．It came as a surprise when Australia adopted the policy．
B．Setting up this policy made Australia less influential．
C．It has now become a hot topic in she United States．
D．No such policy is applied in the United Slates．
68．What makes it hard to lake work-family balance measures in the States？B
A．The incompetence of the Democrats．
B．The opposition from business circles．
C．The lack of a precedent in American history．
D．The existing Family and Medical Leave Act．
69．What is Professor Anne Alston's argument for parental support？B
A．Children need continuous care．
B．Good parenting benefits society．
C．The cost of raising children has been growing．
D．The U．S．should keep up with other developed countries．
70．Why is the author against classifying parenting as a personal choice？D
A．Parenting is regarded as a moral duty．
B．Parenting relies largely on social support．
C．Parenting produces huge moral benefits．
D．Parenting is basically a social undertaking．

19．Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be．Places of business that used to keep daytime"business hours"are now open late into the night．And on the Internet，the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant （不相關(guān)的）．A half century ago in the United States，most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work，school time and summer time．Today the boundaries still exist，but they seem not clear．gkstk
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday； in most，it no longer does．It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer； in most，it still does．And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits，or whether it should become more"flexible，"is often debated．How should we，as a society，organize our time？Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other？gkstk
These are not easy questions even to ask．Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the"law of time"even when we meet it face to face．We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours，a certain number of days，a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer （學監(jiān)），we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents'demand rather than to the law．As adults we are familiar with"extra pay for overtime working，"but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes （構(gòu)成）"overtime"is a matter of legal definition．When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time，have we ever thought to ourselves："Here is the law in action"？As we shall see，there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time：compulsory education law，overtime law，and daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing，holidays，being late to work，time zones，and so on．Once we begin to look for it，we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess．

51．By saying"Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be"，the writer means thatD．
A．work time is equal to rest time              
B．many people have a day off on Monday
C．it is hard for people to decide when to rest
D．the line between work time and rest time is unclear
52．The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2to introduce the fact that peopleC．
A．fail to make full use of their time        
B．enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C．a(chǎn)re unaware of the law of time    
D．welcome flexible working hours
53．According to the passage，most children tend to believe that they go to school because theyB．
