One major issue in contemporary medical science is the use of humans in clinical trials of medical products. These trials occur frequently to determine the best way to manage diseases.

People are invited randomly and paid to take part in trials of an experimental drug, or new surgical procedure, in a number of countries at the one time. For example, up to a quarter of patients in some fields like breast cancer may be engaged. Other projects, one of which is to determine whether new scanning techniques can detect Alzheimer's disease, are under way. They may be given the drug or a placebo (安慰剂), or the best existing treatment, and results compared. The trials may be "blind" with the patient not knowing which group they are in or they may be a "double-blind" with the doctors not knowing either.

Actually, so many people offer themselves willingly. Patients take the views that at least they will get special attention from the doctor if they participate and they may get access to new drugs before they become available in chemists' shops. In some countries people are paid to participate, especially in poorer countries where they may be told little of what is actually happening.

Yet there are significant risks too. One US study estimated that one in 30 people suffered side effects from such trials, and one in 10,000 dies. Doctors say that the risk is not so great during the trial itself, where patients are closely monitored, but comes when the drug is released on the market place. For example, in 2004 a US company recalled an arthritis drug, when it was found that after 18 months of use, the risk of heart attack and stroke increased.

People who support testing claim the risks to the individual are small compared with the benefits. Even if the individual has adverse outcomes and their condition worsens, that is valuable information for the drug company. While the drug companies usually pay for the hospital trials, government has set up medical committees to handle the issue.

4.  What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. The purpose of medical trial.
B. The procedure of medical trial.
C. The groups of medical trial.
D. The result of medical trial.

5.  Why does the author mention the example in the fourth paragraph?

A. To tell us a lot of patients die from the medical trials.
B. To show the risk of heart attack and stroke has increased.
C. To introduce the risks of the medical trials are not so great.
D. To explain the risks of some drugs appear when they are sold.

6.  What docs the underlined word "adverse" in the last paragraph mean?

A. negative B. effective C. subjective D. impressive

7.  What would the author most probably discuss next?

A. How the government prevents clinical trials.
B. How the government gathers the information.
C. How the medical committees pay for the hospital trials.
D. How the medical committees solve the problem.

C

When I was about six years old, my mother came home one day and found that I had collected half a dozen babies of the neighbourhood—all of them too young to walk—and had them sitting before me on the floor while I was teaching them to wave their arms. When she asked the explanation of this, I informed her that it was my school of dance. She was amused, and placing herself at the piano. She began to play for me. This school continued and became very popular. Later on, little girls of the neighbourhood came and their parents paid me a small sum to teach them. This was the beginning of what afterwards proved a very profitable occupation.

My mother took me to a famous ballet teacher, but his lessons did not please me. When the teacher told me to stand on my toes (脚趾) I asked him why, and when he replied "Because it is beautiful",  I said that it was ugly and against nature and after the third lesson I left his class, never to return. This stiff (僵硬) and commonplace gymnastics which he called dancing only disturbed my dream. I dreamed of a different dance. I did not know just what it would be, but I was feeling out towards an invisible world into which I guessed I might enter if I found the key.

My art was already in me when I was a little girl, and it was owing to the heroic and adventurous spirit of my mother that it was not prevented. I believe that whatever the child is going to do in life should be begun when it is very young. I wonder how many parents realize that by the so-called education they are giving their children, they are only driving them into the commonplace, and taking away from them any chance of doing anything beautiful or original.

8.  What was the writer doing when her mother came home one day?

A. Teaching some babies to dance. B. Directing some babies to walk.
C. Getting some babies together. D. Making some babies sit still.

9.  How did the writer find the ballet?

A. Old and unpopular. B. Ugly and unnatural.
C. Graceful and original. D. Dreamlike and gymnastic.

10.  What did the writer think she owed her success in art to?

A. The ballet classes she had attended.
B. Her inborn talent and great efforts.
C. The lucky chance her parents gave her.
D. Her mother's support and understanding.

11.  What's the main idea of the text?

A. Children should be encouraged to be educated as early as possible.
B. Children should be driven to develop their interest in art at an early age.
C. Parents should discover and develop their young children's natural gift.
D. Parents should instruct their children to decide on a promising occupation.

D

In 2006, documents were published by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They suggested that cloned animals and cloned animal products would be allowed into the American food supply.

The FDA has stated that cloned animal products are safe for consumption, and has performed many studies to support this view. In fact, products from cloned animals have already been eaten by some Americans without ill effects. The FDA analyzed the structure (结构) and content of cloned animal products and compared it with that of traditionally reproduced animals, and discovered no statistical difference between the two.

Consumers raised serious concerns about cloned animals. The first is the question of whether or not cloned tissue and animal products are truly safe. The second is that many clones are also genetically modified (转基因的) animals, which the FDA has said are unsafe for human consumption. The third is that consumers want to be able to choose what they put into their bodies.

The first concern about cloned animals is almost unnecessary due to the price of producing a clone. Making a clone needs hard work and is very costly. These clones live spoiled lives because they are very valuable, despite biologists' warning that cloned animals decrease diversity.

The second concern, about genetic modification of cloned animals, is more problematic. It may be very difficult to separate genetically modified animals from normal ones. The purpose of genetically modified cloned animals is unclear, and the FDA hasn't allowed their products onto the market, due to health concerns, but the risk of genetic pollution of healthy animals still exists.

Finally, the matter of choice is a large one. Many animal rights activists are worried about clone rights because cloned or not, the animals still have lives. Other consumers are simply trying to eat healthy foods, and have doubts about the cloned animals. If the FDA does not make labeling (贴标签) laws, people may not be able to make informed choices about their food.

12.  Why did the FDA allow cloned animal products for consumption?

A. They appeal to consumers very much.
B. They differ from traditional animal products.
C. They taste better than normal animal products.
D. They have been proved safe in several aspects.

13.  What do we know about producing clones of animals?

A. It takes much more efforts and money.
B. It provides some new medical benefits.
C. It needs less time than raising animals.
D. It helps increase the diversity of animals.

14.  What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Cloned animals should be forbidden to enter market.
B. Cloned animals should have the same rights as humans.
C. Laws should be made to protect people's right to choose food.
D. Animal rights activists are strongly against cloned animal products.

15.  What's the text mainly about?

A. Doubts about cloned animals rights.
B. Discussions about how to clone animals.
C. Concerns about animal cloning technology.
D. Worries about cloned animal consumption.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

   My heart went out to the drama teacher I read about in a recent news item. Each parent from her class insisted that she cast their own child as Snow White. This reminded me of my seventh grade musical —"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky, the female lead who was Tom's girlfriend.   (16)  

For starters, Becky had to sing numerous solos, and I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. I also didn't have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.

I was assigned the non-singing role of Miss Watson, the Maid. I had to wear an ugly dress. And I had only one line to learn, "That's what I say."   (17)   Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat "That's what I say" throughout the play.

At last, our production was put onstage. Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped in with "That's what I say." I hadn't known that she—or I—could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along.   (18)  

That night, I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a stand-out in a supporting role. Each person, onstage and backstage, is essential in theater. Without everyone doing their part, the play would be dull as dirt.   (19)   If everyone's a star then nothing gets done. It's all noise and chaos.

And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson, to become someone they didn't know they wanted to be.   (20)  

A.So it is in life.

B.It was not to be.

C.It was anything but a great part.

D.My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.

E.It took the entire cast to make a good show.

F.There was an advantage, in my opinion, though.

G.I would hope all children could be a hit in life.

第二节 （共25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Today was Community Service Day at school. Maya's class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home. It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace (腿支架) to school, which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly.

It was a cold autumn morning, Maya looked down, feeling embarrassed. To make it lovelier, she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns. Still, she was unsure about others' reaction. All morning at school, kids kept glancing at her brace. To her relief, they didn't say anything.

In the classroom, Maya was drawing little green buds (芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her. She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking, "What's that for?" Not knowing what to say, Maya pretended she didn't hear him. After a few seconds of awkwardness, she glanced back at him, and found that he looked a little sad.

After lunch, the class set off. The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path. Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up.

Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old. There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair, with a big smile on her face, sat the lady, wearing a pink coat, with red lipstick and beautiful earrings. She looked bright and full of life. Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir, she greeted first. "I'm Joan," she said cheerfully, "Glad to meet you."

Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made. Joan looked at Samir's card carefully and spoke with admiration, "You've written a poem! That's so artistic!" Samir's face reddened with shyness. Then Joan turned to Maya's picture. "The first flowers of spring!" she cried in delight. "You really have a gift for using colour!" she said.      Clearly, Joan's praise added great power into Maya.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；
