Part I Reading Comprehension

Directions：There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A)，B)，C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

Questions 1to 5are based on the following passage：

More attention was paid to the quality of production in France at the time of Rene Coty.Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister.He stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production.It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international market to compete with those produced in other countries.The French economy needed a larger share of the international market to balance its import and export trade.

French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people，let alone long-ranged developments.Essential imports had stretched the national credit to the breaking point.Rents were tightly controlled，but the extreme inflation affected general population most severely through the cost of food.Food costs took as much as 80 percent of the

workers'income.Wages，it is true，had risen.Extensive family allowances and benefits were paid by the state，and there was full-time and overtime employment.Taken together，these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security.In this precarious(不稳定的)and discouraging situation，workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages.

The government was reluctant to let workers leave the country.It was feared this immigration of workers would deplete the labor force.The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products

produced.Qualified workers employed abroad would only increase the quantity of quality goods produced in foreign countries.Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its qualified labor force moved to other countries.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage：

Food can be divided into two basic categories：real food and pleasure food.Real food is fuel for the body's needs，while pleasure food， which is high in fat and sugar，is primarily for taste satisfaction.The categories are pretty obvious.Broccoli is real food.Cookies are in the pleasure group.

When you are hungry，you are faced with choices.If you aren't suffering from excessive hunger，you can be rational about them.Go to the refrigerator.What looks good?If you have chosen a real food，say，a turkey sandwich，you can be certain your body can use it for fuel.Eat it and enjoy.

Two hours later you are hungry again.Back to the refrigerator.What looks good?Ice cream.Stop!Employ your will power just a little.Ice cream is not what your body needs.Does something else look good?Yes，a piece of toast with peanut butter and a glass of milk sound good too.Okay，go ahead，remembering that high-fat real foods should be eaten in moderation.

One trick is to eliminate pleasure foods from your kitchen.Instead，keep a variety of high-quality foods available at all times.In short，buy lots of delicious real food，food you really like，and get rid of the junk.

But what if you have ice cream on hand and nothing sounds good?Although you don't want

to eat pleasure foods whenever the urge strikes，there is a legitimate place for them in your diet.If you have analyzed your feelings and there are no other needs imitating hunger，eat the ice cream.You have not failed.On the contrary，you have accepted your naturalappetite，but not blindly.

Surprisingly，when you know you can eat anything you want，and that you never have to

put up with unsatisfied hunger again，it takes a lot of pressure off.You will begin to want to eat what your body needs，and your body will begin to need foods that will lead

to slimness.

Questions 11to 15are based on the following passage：

Cloning，manipulating a cell from an animal so that it grows into an exact copy of that animal，is the forbidden fruit of biotechnology. Some scientists were so sure it could not be done

that，in the 1970s，they discouraged moralists(伦理学家)from discussing its moral implications.Yet at the same time other scientists，secretly，in out-of-the-way labs，were getting ever closer to making clones.For ten years，scientists have been cloning sheep and cows from embryo(胚胎)cells.But so far Dolly is the only animal cloned from an adult cell，not from an embryo. She is living proof that scientists have solved one of the most challenging problems

of cell biology.

The question now is how soon will scientists clone humans."Nature"，the scientific journal that published the Dolly paper，commented，"Cloning humans from adults tissues is likely to be achievable any time from one to ten years from now."Most scientists agree there is no insurmountable obstacle in human cloning.But a human clone，even though it might resemble the individual from whom it was made，would differ dramatically in personality and character，intelligence and talents."You will never get 100 percent identity，"says psychologist Jerome Kagan of Harvard，"because of chance factors and because environments are never exactly the same."

That，however，is small comfort to many people.Shortly after Dolly's birth announcement，President Clinton ordered a group of experts to come up with proposals for government action.With the cloning of humans within reach，whether it is to be banned or regulated is now on the nation's moral agenda(议事日程). Some regard the cloning of humans as inherently evil，

a morally unjustifiable intrusion into human life.They measure the morality of any act by the intention behind it;still others are concerned primarily with consequences for society as well as for individuals.

For the moment it seems that the latest achievement in the biotech field has provided everyone with food for thought.

11.In what way is Dolly different from earlier clones?

A)It is cloned from human embryo.

B)It is cloned from a human cell.

C)It is cloned from an adult cell.

D)It is cloned from an adult embryo.

12.What is the prospect，according to most scientists，of making clones from adult human tissues?

A)Such clones will be exactly like the one from whom it was made.

B)It would be possible within the decade.

C)There still exist some technical problems.

D)It is impossible to make such clones in one to ten years from now.

13.Why did Clinton order a group of experts to make proposals for government action?

A)He wants to quicken the pace of cloning research.

B)The success of cloning involves serious moral evaluation problems.

C)He wants to ban the human cloning research.

D)He is worried about the funding of the further research.

14."Food for thought"in the last paragraph means ________.

A)worry for food

B)increased food to be expected

C)something worthy of consideration

D)reasons for deep understanding

15.The best title for the selection can be ________.

A)BiotechnologicalSuccess And Its Possible Consequences

B)Dolly Is Only The Beginning

C)The Definition Of Cloning

D)Cloning Humans From Adults'Tissues

Questions 16to 20are based on the following passage：

Failure is probably the most fatiguing experience a person ever has.There is nothing more exhausting than not succeeding，being blocked，not moving ahead.It is an evil circle.Failure breeds fatigue，and fatigue makes it harder to get to work，which adds to the fatigue We experience this tiredness in two main ways，as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.In the former case，we keep putting off a task that we are forced to take up.Either because it is too tedious or because it is too difficult，we avoid it.And the longer we postpone it the more tired we feel.

Such start-up fatigue is very real，even not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bones.The remedy is obvious，though perhaps not easy to apply：willpower exercise.The moment I find myself turning away from a job， or putting it under a pile of things I have to do，

I clear my desk of everything else and attach the objectionable item first. To prevent start-up fatigue，always treat the most difficult job first.

Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.Here we are willing to get started，but we can't seem to do the job right.Its difficulties appear to be insurmountable and however hard we work，we fail again and again.The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue.In such a situation，I work as hard as I can，then let the

unconscious take over.

16.Which of the following can be called an evil circle?

A)Success-zeal-success-zeal.

连续很多天都是天亮之后才睡觉。别人问我，你晚上不睡觉都在干嘛。我马上回答，写稿啊，书稿还没交呢。但其实，我一个字也没写。而之所以熬夜，也不过是因为心里有牵挂的人和未完成的事吧。

别人问你怎么还不睡，你说不困。其实熬夜很困，打个哈欠都会有眼泪流出来，只是心中一直有所期待，有所牵挂。就好像下一秒就会收到喜欢的人的消息，下一秒就能遇见一个惊喜。又或者，熬了太久却迟迟得不到自己想要的结果，渐渐的习惯了孤独。

为什么会熬夜呢，大概是因为白天的自己太理智，太冷漠，好像什么都不在乎。所以有些情绪和思念，心酸和不舍，是要留到深夜独自慢慢消化的。白天的自己和晚上的自己完全不是同一个人啊，白天口口声声说一定早睡，晚上却从来做不到。像失忆一样拿命熬夜，白天开开心心无忧无虑，晚上却忧郁的不行。白天觉得我最牛逼，晚上却变成世界第一大傻逼。

总觉得幸福的人是不用熬夜的，每天都有规律的生活，爱的人就躺在身边，现在过的是想要的生活，手里牵的是喜欢的人。

昨天有人问我，为什么你晚上不睡觉。

我想了很久，已经两三年没有在两点之前入睡过了。但我也说不清为什么，那个人突然给我发了一段话，我突然觉得，这是我熬夜的原因，也是很多人熬夜的原因。

你总是习惯熬夜，然后我也故意很晚都不睡。装作是和你一样睡不着，这样就可以和你聊很久，可是你都不知道其实我要困死了。后来你走了，熬夜的习惯却怎么都改不掉。

说片面点是熬夜，说实在点是失眠，说实话是想你。

你有没有过，为了陪一个人聊天，其实下一秒已经要睡着，但还是死抓着手机不肯睡。

你有没有过，因为一个人的一句话，明明很困却突然变得很清醒，开心和喜悦赶走了所有困意。

你有没有过，为了等一个人的晚安，不停的刷着朋友圈发着动态，其实只想让他看到你还没睡。

你有没有过，因为太思念一个人，每天都害怕深夜来临，害怕孤独，害怕寂寞，害怕牵挂的感觉。

我知道，你都有过。

可是，你每天这样熬夜，有人心疼你吗？

前天晚上一个作家姐姐突然发消息说，妹妹，钱是挣不完的，别累着自己，身体最重要。昨晚她发现我又在熬夜，给我发消息说，一定照顾好自己，莫名心疼你。

我很感动，又觉得很可笑。一个没见过面的人看你熬夜都会心疼，会劝你照顾好自己，但你每天熬夜想着的那个人，没给你发过一条消息。第一次见面的陌生人都会劝你少喝酒少抽烟，素不相识的微信好友都会让你早点休息，可你抽烟喝酒熬夜在等的那个人，从来都没在意过你，连一句晚安都没有。

我经常给别人讲道理，永远不要为了一个不爱你的人折磨自己。但这句话其实就像放屁，因为一旦爱上一个人，就没办法控制自己。我们在爱情里，从来都不是理性的。后来有人问我，怎么忘记一个人。

我说，把酒喝够，把烟抽完，把黑夜熬成天亮，等你真的感觉疼了，你就忘记了。不撞南墙不死心，大概就是这个道理。别人苦口婆心的劝说，其实你一点儿都听不进去。你害怕失去、害怕背叛、害怕从未拥有，你害怕的太多、心事太多，所以很难入睡。那你就熬吧，等熬过了这一阵，你又会觉得其实生活还是很美好。

你要记住，所有关于感情的问题，都不要在深夜做决定。无论分手还是牵手，无论坚持还是放弃。因为女人啊，从来都不是理性动物，再加上深夜里的一杯红酒，一根香烟，感性越发强烈。

五年前第一次听梁静茹的《问》，歌里唱，如果女人，总是等到夜深，无悔付出青春，他就会对你真。

那时候真的傻到相信，用心爱一个人，就能把他留在自己身边。现在才明白，在一起一辈子这种事，不是嘴上说了就可以。外面的诱惑这么多，人的欲望这么大，而你能给的爱，其实就这么多。

后来我经常说，如果爱一个人又不可得，那就找个爱自己的吧。别太累，别付出太多，别太委屈，你说你爱他所以无所畏惧，但你的感情和耐心其实就这么多，你无法永远输出。总有一天它们会因迟迟得不到回应而枯竭。等到那一天你会发现，哪怕再遇到喜欢的人，也没有力气去喜欢了。
