Bicycle Safety
Operation  Always ride your bike in a safe, controlled manner on campus. Obey rules and regulations. Watch out for walkers and other bicyclists, and always use your lights in dark conditions.       

Theft Prevention  Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack—even if you are only away for a minute. Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety. It's fast, easy, and free. Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike stolen.
Equipment

Lights  Always have a front headlight—visible at least 500 feet in front of the bike. A taillight is a good idea.
Rules of the Road

The speed limit for bicycles on campus is 15mph, unless otherwise posted. Always give the right of ways to walkers. If you are involved in an accident, you are required to offer appropriate aid, call the Department of Public Safety and remain at the scene until the officer lets you go.
Bicycle Parking  Only park in areas reserved for bikes. Trees, handrails, hallways, and sign posts are not for bicycle parking, and parking in such posts can result in a fine.

The annual marathon in my town occurred as scheduled. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.

I knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.

The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we’ d slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself expecting her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I hoped that she wouldn’t.

Finally she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with strong determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet she didn’t give up and crossed the line.

I don’t know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life — a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.

24．What does the underlined word “crippled” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Perfect.      B．Athletic.        C．Disabled.     D．Slim.

25．Which of the following can best describe the woman?

A．Confident and brave.              B．Proud and determined.

C．Hard-working and responsible.      D．Strong-willed and honorable.

26．What has the author learnt from the woman?

A．Don’t depend on others when facing difficulties.

B．Nothing is too hard to accomplish if one is brave enough.

C．Those who have difficulty walking can also run a marathon.

D．It’s not winning but holding on to the end that really matters.

27．What could be the best title for the text?

A．The Last Runner                 B．An Injured Stranger

C．An Unforgettable Event           D．The Annual Marathon

C

Regardless of how far we’d like to believe gender (性别) equality in the workplace has come, there’s still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world. A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEO positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.

While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.

In their research, Professor Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.

While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders—probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women—this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.

There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.

Obviously, its important to consider individual differences.Anyone, regardless of gender may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss. But next time you're hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes(简历)from female candidates a harder look.

28. What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?

A. Women are worse than men.

B. Men take almost all high positions.

C. There is a huge gap between genders.

D. Women might behave better in nearly every field.

29. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “inherently” in Paragraph 4?

A. properly.           B. potentially.         C. naturally.        D. normally.

30. Which of the following may be the best title of this text?

A. Why Women Make Better Leaders

B. Why Women Are Better Than Men

C. How We Can Figure Out The Boss

D. How We Can Tell Gender Difference

31. Who might have special interest in this article?

A. Job hunters.         B. Employers.        C. Employees.       D. Male bosses.

D

To save endangered arctic wolves, the Beijing-based Sinogene Biotechnology Company cooperated with Harbin Polarland on cloning the arctic wolf. As a result, after two years of thorough efforts, the arctic wolf was cloned successfully. It is the first case of its kind in the world.

Born on June 10, 2022, the wolf, named Maya, is energetic and in very good health. Her donor cell came from the skin sample of a wild female arctic wolf, who had been introduced from Canada. However, her oocyte (卵母细胞) was from a female dog, and her surrogate mother (代孕母体) was a beagle. The selection of a dog as Maya’s surrogate was made because dogs share a genetic ancestor with ancient wolves, and it’s more likely to succeed through cloning technology.

“This is our new attempt and breakthrough in protecting and breeding (繁育) wild and endangered animals. The birth of the world’s first cloned arctic wolf is a milestone for the application of cloning technology and is of great significance to biodiversity, the protection of wildlife, and the restoration of endangered species in the world,” Mi Jidong, the company’s general manager, said.

Cloning technology is a breeding method different from natural reproduction. Some raised controversy relating to the cloned arctic wolf. Sun Quanhui, a scientist from the World Animal Protection organization, said that cloning technology is still in the exploratory stage of research, and there are many technical and ethical issues that need to be addressed and treated with caution. Sun believed cloning should be considered only for endangered wild animals whose species are extinct, or whose captive populations are very limited.

The cloned wolf now lives with her surrogate beagle in a lab, and later she will be delivered to the Harbin Polarland and displayed to the public. The cloned wolf would live by herself in the park in the initial stage because she may not be able to adapt to original arctic wolf groups. However, it is reported that the technology of cloning arctic wolves has gained strong value in its application, and another male cloned arctic wolf will come into this world in the near future.

32. What do we know about Maya?

A. She is in good condition.

B. She was born in Canada.

C. She is the first cloned animal in China.

D. She shares similar living habits with dogs.

33. What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A. The development of cloning technology.

B. The difficulties of maintaining biodiversity.

C. Scientists’ efforts to protect endangered animals.

D. The importance of the birth of the cloned arctic wolf.

34. What is Sun Quanhui’s attitude towards cloning technology?

A. Cautious. B. Confident.

C. Unclear. D. Disapproving.

35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Maya was trained to live with wolf groups in the lab.

B. Another male arctic wolf is expected to be born soon.

C. Maya is favored by many visitors to the Harbin Polarland.

D. Cloning technology will be applied to more endangered species.

How to improve your studying

Studying is a skill you can improve, just like any other. When starting studying, you keep focused. Of course, you can experiment with different strategies of preparing for tests.   36   . They might work great for you.

●   37   . Keep a detailed planner listing all your tests and assignments. This can be in a paper planner or online. For each day, write down the homework or studying you have to do and when you plan to do it. It can be helpful to write down other time commitments you have, too. Mark out time slots(段)to work on long-term projects and study for big tests, so that you don’t push them to the last minute.

●Develop a growth attitude. Success in school isn’t all about natural gifts.   38   . Instead of telling yourself, "I’m no good at this subject," tell yourself, "I can learn more if I ask questions and practice."

●Make sure you get enough sleep every night. Sleep is the best factor to help you focus. Staying up late studying on school nights is not a good idea for long-term success. Lack of sleep prevents you from concentrating.   39   .

●Turn to others when in difficulty.   40   . You can ask for help from a friend who’s taking the same class as you, or ask the teacher during class. You can also go to ask a tutor for help.

Our Garden and the Salad

“Christine, come and help me in the garden. I want to plant all of the seeds today.” My father was calling to me. “I'm busy...” I said. I didn't understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.

By the end of April, his plants had come up in neat rows. Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He was in hospital for about two months and during that time he often asked me about his garden. Even after he came home, he had to stay in bed for a while.

My mother had several business trips so I said that I would take care of his garden. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often so I didn't think much about the garden.

One Saturday morning in July my father said to me, “Christine, I think that the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let's have a salad today!” I took a bowl and went out to the garden. I looked at the leaves and was upset to see that many of the leaves had been half eaten. There were hundreds of bugs (虫子) all over them! I tried to get them off, but there were just too many. I looked at the carrots next, but they didn't look healthy.

I got in panic for a moment, but then thought of a good idea. I quietly went to the nearest store to buy some vegetables. I went back home and cut them up to make a salad for my father. When I gave it to him, he said, “Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! You must be taking very good care of my garden.” My father looked happy, but I felt a little bit guilty.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I went back to the kitchen when my mother came home.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I carefully made a salad and took it to my father.
