2、s children. His attitude didnt soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather.If I grumbled,_hed say in his loudest fathervoice, “Thats what your legs are for！
3、” The walk didnt bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didnt seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening. It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hou
4、rs in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home. A row of hedges(树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense o
5、f relief to see the hedges because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedges had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedges, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my fathers head. Then I knew
6、, each time Id come home, he had stood behind the hedges, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all. On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement a

10、ible Journey Home DRiding the Bus AloneBScientists in Argentina have created the worlds first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce humanlike milk. Genetic engineering was used to introduce the “mothers milk” genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute o
11、f Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires. As an adult, the cloned cow “will produce milk that is similar to that of humans”， which will prove “a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants(婴儿)”， said the institute. “The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with t
12、wo human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk，” said the statement. In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only i
13、ntroduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more_closely_resemble that of humans. “Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants，” said Adrian Mutto, from the National University
14、of San Martin which worked with the institute. Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had rejected the “honor” of having the cow named after her. “They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would
15、like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”25What is the passage mainly about? AThe importance of genetic engineering. BWays to improve mothers milk. CA cloned cow to produce humanlike milk. DAdvanced agricultural technology in Argentina.26Which of the

DShe refused to give a name to the cow out of selfrespect.CChinese consumers crazy appetite for luxury goods and services appears unstoppable, with just 2 percent of the Chinese population responsible for oneth
18、ird of the worlds luxury items. As Chinas economic miracle develops, the market opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are increasing. Luxury consumption in China now extends ways beyond wellknown car, clothing and jewelry brands. For example, the luxury jet market in China is the
19、fastestgrowing in the world, even outstripping that of the United States, with a market share of 25 percent. This trend appears to continue, with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China, compared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US. But more importantly, Chinas luxury jet market growth represents a
20、 major development in the private consumption of luxury items.Chinas highquality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods. In 2013, China became the largest market for red wine in the world, even overtaking France, with 1.86 billion bottles consumed
21、 in China last year. Over the past five years, Chinas red wine consumption has grown 136 percent. According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such
22、as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to “gain face” and publicly display social climbing through material possessions. On the other hand, it is “selfreward” that lies behind consumer motivation in this area. Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains a
23、ppear particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for their success. But this has little to do with “gaining face” and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment. Finally, the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to th
24、e maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer culture generally.28What do you think the author would most probably be? AA news reporter. BAn accountant. CA professor. DA conductor.29The underlined word “outstripping” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_” Afalling far behind of B

27、f you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock. According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all. Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,00
28、0 joggers and nonjoggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research su
29、ggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as nonjoggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉). Over time, this can cause serious injuries. Peter Schnoh
30、r, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.” The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise s
31、uch as tai chi, yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events, triathlons and longdistance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study, “You dont actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health. And perhaps yo
32、u shouldnt actually do too much.”32The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “_” Ahard Bregular Cpractical Dflexible33The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to _. Asuggest giving up jogging Bshow risks of doing sports Cprovide supportive evidence Dintroduce the research process34According to the sci
