Peter Onruang, a Hollywood businessman, has paid $310,000 to clone his best friend Wolfie, a lovely dog. He said, “Wolfie was more than just a pet to me.” Wolfie died two years ago, at the age of 15. But long before she and her sister Bubble passed away, Onruang had plans to bring them back to life. Onruang said, “I buried them at home. Each time I visit them, I say, ‘Hi, I’m making a new body for you.’”

Finally, Onruang found the South Korean biotechnology company RNL Bio, which can and will clone animals. Onruang collected his dogs’ stem cells (干細(xì)胞), and then he started a website MyFriendAgain.com, so he could earn and save the $310,000 that the cloning would cost.

The new dogs should look identical (完全相同的) to Wolfie and Bubble. When the cloning process is done, Onruang may end up with several clones of each dog. But Onruang admits he’s still not sure that they will be exactly the same.

Scientists cloned the first animal, a sheep named Dolly, in 1996 in Scotland. That project has raised ethical (倫理的) questions about where science should draw the line. Another question is whether such technique will lead to a day when humans could be cloned.

“If I had an opportunity to clone myself, I would do it readily,” Onruang said. “Because it’s me, I’m raising myself. I have already known exactly my strengths and weaknesses. This person is going to be the new and improved me, and will live the life I’ve always wanted to live.”

1.Onruang started the website MyFriendAgain.com in order to .

A. encourage more people to clone their pets

B. draw people’s attention to cloning

C. collect his dog’s stem cells

D. raise money to pay for the cloning

2.The purpose of the fourth paragraph is to tell us .

A. when and where scientists cloned the first sheep Dolly

B. people are in favor of the clone technology

C. there are arguments about the clone technology

D. cloning will be of great benefit to humans

3.What is Onruang’s attitude towards cloning humans?

A. He doesn’t care about it.

B. He is enthusiastic about it.

C. He strongly opposes it.

D. He never thinks about it.

1.D

2.C

3.B

Koalas remind people of teddy bears. They have thick fur and large ears. Their broad, flat nose makes them look cute, similar to teddy bears. In fact koalas aren’t cute. They have sharp teeth and very sharp claws! Koalas are marsupials. This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, similar to a kangaroo. The baby koala lives in its mother’s pocket for the first six months of its life.

The name “koala” comes from a native Australian word that means “no drink”. The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus（桉樹）leaves they eat. That’s where they get their food too. Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves, and only the leaves of certain eucalyptus trees. The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live. It’s also where they sleep. Koalas sleep about nineteen hours a day!

Why do they sleep so much? Some people think it’s because they’re lazy. But koalas aren’t lazy. They sleep so much because there isn’t much nutrition (營養(yǎng)）in eucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy. One way to do this is to move slowly and sleep a lot.

After a day of sleeping they like to move around and eat just after sunset. They live alone most of the time. Koalas are very protective of their trees. If a koala sees another koala eating in its favorite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by “barking” at it. Koalas do “talk” to each other. Besides barks, the males make a deep grunting sound. The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared they may scream like a baby.

1.According to the article, how are koalas and kangaroos alike?

A. They both have thick fur.

B. They both have sharp teeth.

C. They both eat eucalyptus leaves.

D. They both carry their young in a pocket.

2.The word “koala” comes from a word that means ________.

A. no drink B. moving slowly

C. large ears D. barking loudly

3.Why do koalas sleep a lot?

A. Their babies need to get much rest.

B. They get tired from playing so much.

C. Their food does not give them much energy.

D. They do not like to be awake when it is warm.

4. If an adult koala screams like a baby, he may get ________.

A. worried B. hungry C. scared D. sleepy

科目：高中英語 來源：2014-2015學(xué)年廣東汕頭金山中學(xué)高二上第二次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Since the end of World War I in 1918, Canadians, and millions of others around the world have paused at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to honour the sacrifices our soldiers have made in different wars, fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy today.

Known as Remembrance Day, the day originated as a tribute to the soldiers of WWI, a dark period for our young country, which claimed the lives of over 60,000 military personnel and civilians and over 16 million dead worldwide.

As there are no more surviving soldiers of WWI, today we rely on the wisdom and words of those soldiers who fought in the wars that followed, and this day now also recognizes their heroic contribution.

They tell us to always remember what those brave souls fought for, and all they ask in return is that we never forget.

That's why we wear the red poppy (罌粟花); that's why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and say "Thank you"; that's why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request.

Yet this message is fading away, year after year.

Take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from Remembrance Day ceremonies at school.

Not only is this disrespectful, but it distances the student from his or her classmates.

It is difficult to understand why any Canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem In Flanders Fields, while a wreath of poppies is laid.

It is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history, no matter how violent it was. Preventing them from knowing about the realities of war is a great disservice.

Understanding why conflicts(沖突）happened, or happen today, can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults.

Of course, because we live in a free society, we cannot force an individual to do something.

It is unfortunate, but some parents now have their child "opt-out" of the services. These people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering.

1.Which of the following is true about Remembrance Day?

A. It's only held in Canada.

B. Its ceremony lasts 11 hours.

C. It falls on November 11th each year.

D. It's to celebrate the country's independence.

2.Which of the following is Not mentioned as a Remembrance Day activity today?

A. Stopping at 11 a.m. to remember the war dead.

B. Listening to stories told by WWI soldiers.

C. Wearing a red poppy to show respect.

D. Showing gratitude to soldiers in uniform.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. War history is too violent for school children.

B. The writer was once a soldier in the Canadian army.

C. Few students are willing to take part in Remembrance Day ceremonies.

D. More parents are keeping their children away from frightening war stories.

4.The underlined word "It" in the last paragraph probably refers to ______.

A. the death of so many soldiers in wars

B. the fact that there were so many wars after WWI

C. people's ungratefulness for the freedom they have

D. removing children from Remembrance Day events.

5.The writer believes that ______.

A. the sacrifice of the soldiers should always be remembered

B. Remembrance Day is becoming less important for soldiers

C. schools no longer think Remembrance Day is necessary

D. people should be forced to learn about the realities of war
