　　Ⅰ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　“De-extinction”，the idea that extinct(絕種的) animals can be brought back through cloning or genetic(基因的) engineering，has attracted the interest of a small group of scientists.The topic had made the cover of National Geographic Magazine.Supporters say they are doing it for moral reasons and because we “miss” the extinct animals.They blame human exploitation(such as trapping，hunting，habitat destruction) of the extinct animals，but their plans，though they sound exciting，are exploitation in another form.

　　Considering the imperfect science of cloning，de-extinction would cause animals suffering.Most animals born of such experiments would suffer serious diseases，dying soon after birth or having a shortened lifetime.Spanish and French scientists worked for years to bring the Pyrenean ibex，a species of wild goat，back from extinction by cloning.In 2009，they succeeded only in producing a sick baby goat that died 10 minutes after birth.For these animals to be born，other animals would live in captivity，in a lab or elsewhere，and serve as mother substitutes(代用品)，routinely having operations as part of the cloning process.For example，elephants would be kept in captivity to carry woolly mammoth(猛犸) babies for nearly two years.Such experiments often lead to other animals’ unhappiness as well.

　　If extinct animals are successfully brought back，where would they go？Their original habitats have developed and changed without them.They are unlikely to survive in the natural environment，but，if they do manage to survive，they will affect their environment in unpredictable ways，presenting a new threat to the ecological system.If the animals born through de-extinction are stuck in zoos and museums instead，what good is that？It is exploitation，not a solution.

　　It would be better to apply creative thinking about protection to the real-life problems of today’s world.De-extinction takes attention away from the difficult situation of endangered animals.Discussions about woolly mammoth cloning do nothing to stop the illegal killings of endangered wild African elephants.Money would be better used to prevent human conflict with wildlife and their ecosystems.

　　Let’s keep de-extinction in the world of science fiction，learn from our failed past，and protect wild animals and their habitats for the future.

　　1．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to “

　　”．

　　A．de-extinction

　　B．cloning or genetic engineering

　　C．exploitation

　　D．National Geographic Magazine

　　2．In Paragraph 2，examples are given to show that

　　.

　　A．modern elephants are related to woolly mammoth

　　B．scientists should improve the cloning process

　　C．de-extinction does harm to some animals

　　D．it’s possible to bring back extinct animals

　　3．What might happen if extinct animals come back to the wild?

　　A．The problem of extinction will be solved.

　　B．They will live in their original habitats.

　　C．The balance of nature may be disturbed.

　　D．More endangered animals will be saved.

　　4．According to Paragraph 4，de-extinction may

　　.

　　A．prevent the illegal killings of African elephants

　　B．make people care less about endangered animals

　　C．prevent the conflict between humans and animals

　　D．raise public awareness of protecting animals

　　B

　　Autumn means different things to different people.“It all depends on your personality，” said British naturalist Richard Mabey.“Personality shapes your view of the season，” he said.“You may see it as a fading-away，a packing-up(結(jié)束)，or as a time of packing in another sense—the exciting gathering of resources before a long journey.”

　　If this is true，perhaps it tells us a little about，for instance，Thomas Hood，the 19th Century English poet.About November，he wrote：

　　No warmth，no cheerfulness，no healthful ease

　　No shade，no shine，no butterflies，no bees

　　November!

　　On the other hand，another English poet John Keats，already sensing he was seriously ill，was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language，To Autumn.He wrote to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about it.

　　According to Richard Mabey，Keats has the biological evidence on his side.Autumn is not a time of slowing down，but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures.For example，just at the moment that Keats’s “gathering swallows”(in To Autumn) are departing for Africa，millions of creatures are fleeing from the frozen north like Iceland，Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts of Britain.According to scientists，before falling，the leaves transfer their chlorophyll(葉綠素) and carbohydrates into the woody parts of the tree for safe-keeping over winter.What remains is the natural antioxidants(防老劑) in the leaves：the yellow and orange carotenoids(類胡蘿卜素)，and another protective chemical specially produced for autumn，the bright-red anthocyanin(花青素)．High color is not a signal of deterioration(退化) and decline，but of detox(排毒的) ability and good health.

　　A century after Keats，the American poet Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal：“Suppose we saw ourselves burning like maples in a golden autumn.And that we could break up like autumn leaves...dropping their substance like chlorophyll.Would not our attitude towards death be different？”

　　5．From Thomas Hood’s poem，we may infer that

　　.

　　A．he suffered a lot from cold November

　　B．he missed the shining summer days very much

　　C．he had a negative attitude towards autumn

　　D．he enjoyed butterflies and bees very much

　　6．In autumn，leaves turn yellow before falling because

　　.

　　A．they can’t bear the freezing

　　B．they can’t get enough water from the wood part

　　C．chlorophyll and carbohydrates have been lost through leaves

　　D．chlorophyll and carbohydrates have come back to the wood part

　　7．Which word can best describe Loren Eiseley’s attitude towards autumn?

　　A．Fearful.

　　B．Optimistic.

　　C．Doubtful.

　　D．Realistic.

　　8．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?

　　A．Man can never live long，just as leaves must leave the tree annually.

　　B．Man is different from autumn leaves，which will come again the next spring.

　　C．Man should have a positive attitude towards death，quite different from autumn leaves.

　　D．Man should treat death calmly，just as autumn leaves fall to the ground.

　　Ⅱ.七選五

　　Technology has enabled people to connect fast and across vast distances.

　　9

　　Therefore，it is important to find ways to communicate with more value and be more genuine，while still keeping pace with the demands of the modern day.

　　1．Cut back on texting.Texting is a good way of keeping in touch and communicating with another person if calling them is not possible.Unless you can’t help it，give up the habit of texting—while walking，eating or driving—because texting is not real communication.

　　10

　　Calling is a great way of enhancing conversations because it’s more direct，with a greater chance of successful communication.

　　2．

　　11

　　We are more willing to spend time on Facebook than actually turn away from our desks and have a conversation with the person working right next to us.A good way of improving real-time communication is to log off the Internet or log out of your social media.

　　3．Meet people face to face.The next time you open Facebook to catch up with a friend，call them up and meet them instead.

　　12

　　Take time to meet with the people who matter to you and you will get a kind of communication and relationship that staring at a screen just can’t provide.

　　4．Technology is a tool.It is worth remembering that technology is only a tool we have at our disposal.

　　13

　　Use social networks to find people，to reconnect with friends，to support a cause and to contribute to the bigger picture in a more substantive manner.

　　A．Log out.

　　B．Listen more.

　　C．However，it has also created barriers around us.

　　D．Do you find yourself opening it more than necessary?

　　E．Something as casual as coffee or lunch can help you connect and communicate with them.

　　F．Every once in a while，it’s a good idea to cut back on texting and call people instead.

　　G．We can’t escape the virtual world and nor should we try，but we can choose to use it more intelligently.
