Windshield Wiper The windshield wiper was invented by Mary Anderson in 1903 to help streetcars operate safely in the rain.

B SEOUL: South Korean scientists have cloned cats that glow red in the dark, an achievement that could help develop cures for human genetic diseases, the Science and Technology Ministry said. Three Turkish angora cats were born in January and February through cloning with a gene that produces a red florescent (荧光的) protein that makes them glow in the dark. One died at birth, but the two others survived, the ministry said. The ministry claimed it was the first time cats with modified genes had been cloned. Scientists from Gyeongsang National University took skin cells from a cat and inserted the florescent gene into them before transplanting the genetically modified cells into eggs. The development means other genes can also be inserted in the course of cloning, leading to a way to produce lab cats with genetic diseases, including those of humans, to help develop new treatments, the ministry said. “Cats have similar genes to those of humans,” veterinary professor Kong keun of Gyeongsang National University said. “We can make genetically modified cats that can be used to develop new cures for genetic diseases.” Keitaro Kato, a geneticist at Kinki University in western Japan who has cloned fish, said the research could be significant if it eventually helps treat people with genetic diseases. “People with genetic disorders usually have to receive treatment throughout their lives that is very hard on them,” Kato said. “If these results can help to make their lives easier, then I think its a wonderful thing.” 66What does the underlined word mean? AChanged. BMoved. CDelivered. DExchanged. 67The cloned cats can glow in the dark because of _. Aa gene which has special protein Ba transplanted skin cell Ca gene which all cats have Da dye injected into the cats skin 68According to the writer, the importance of this achievement is that _. Ait shows how intelligent the scientists are Bit will help cats live longer lives Cit may help develop new treatments for diseases Dit will help South Korean scientists to earn more money 69What does “the research” in Keitaro Katos opinion refer to? AHis own researchcloned cats. BThe South Korean scientists researchcloned cats. CBoth the Japanese and South Korean research. DNeither of the Japanese nor South Korean research. 70The last three paragraphs in the text are used to_. Ashow the importance of the scientific work Bgive different opinions about the research Caccept the fact of the work was done in South Korea Dshow that the scientists work isnt useful C Washington, D.C. is home to famous buildings, memorials and museums that visitors love. But it is also home to a large and beautiful green space. There are many arboretums in the city. Today, we take you to the United States National Arboretum, an active center for both scientific research and public education. Many people who come to Washington are astonished when they first visit the National Arboretum. The Arboretum is only a short drive from the center of the city. However, visitors often feel like they are remote from the busy American capital. The Arboretum covers one hundred eighty hectares of green space in the northeast part of Washington. The area is famous for its beautiful flowers, tall trees and other plants. About nine thousand different kinds of plants grow there. The National Arboretum was established by an act of Congress in 1927. Today, the United States Department of Agricultures Agricultural Research Service operates the Arboretum. The goal of the Arboretum is to carry out studies and provide education in an effort to improve the environment. The goal includes protecting trees, flowers and other plants and showing them to the public. The National Arboretum is a popular stop for visitors to Washington. It is open every day of the year except December twenty-fifth, the Christmas holiday. Money is not necessary to visit the Arboretum. As many as six hundred thousand people visit the Arboretums grounds each year. Hundreds of thousands of people also visit with the help of computers. They use the Arboretums Internet web site to learn about current research programmes and how to care for plants. Director Thomas Elias says Arboretum officials would like to see even more visitors. He says they believe that many people do not know it exists. Part of the problem might result from the fact that the Arboretum is about five kilometers from the closest train station. Many famous places in Washington are a short walk from Metrorail, the local train system. The Arboretum is easy to reach by automobile or bus, however. About fifteen kilometers of roads have been built on the property. The roads connect to major collections and seasonal flowers. The Arboretum also welcomes people on bicycles. Disabled persons or those who want to walk only short distances may visit four beautiful areas that are close to each other. 71The underlined word “arboretums” in Paragraph 1 means_. Amemorials with trees and other plants around them Bbuildings with trees and other plants around them Cmuseums with trees and other plants for scientific and educational purposes Dplaces with trees and other plants for scientific and educational purposes 72What do we learn about the National Arboretum according to the passage? AIt lies to the northeast part of Washington, free to visit it. BIn fact it is a short walk from Metrorail, the local train system. CIt is surprising and attractive. DIt is where the United States Department of Agricultures Agricultural Research Service is. 73Why was the National Arboretum established by an act of Congress? ATo protect and study about nine thousand different kinds of plants there. BTo make it a popular stop for visitors to Washington. CTo grow trees for Christmas. DTo improve the environment. 74How many ways are there for visitors to choose if they visit the Arboretum? AFive. BSix. CSeven. DEight. 75Which of the following would be the best conclusion of this passage? AWashington, D.C. is home to famous buildings, memorials and museums. BThe National Arboretum in Washington offers science of nature and public education. CThe National Arboretum in Washington is an interest of green place. DThe National Arboretum is a place where trees and other plants are grown. 第卷 (共 50 分) 第四部分：书面表达 (共四节，满分 50 分) 第一节：单词拼写 (共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 10 分) 根据首字母或汉语提示写出所缺单词的正确形式。 76.

Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want, give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want. Think about the time you call people. Try not to call too early in the morning or too late at night. Also try not to call at mealtimes. If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions. Cellphones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival. When face-to-face with someone, do not talk on the phone.
