My parents had always prepared for hurricanes. It is what 1 people do in Florida because “you never know”. For us, that 2 a white metal cabinet (储藏柜) in our utility room (杂用间) filled with cans of food. We could 3 eat anything out of the cabinet because “you never know” when a hurricane will come.
As a kid, I was 4 about the white cabinet. I thought it was kind of strange to have food in the utility room. But, one look from my mother 5 me from opening the door to glance inside.
One year, Channel 4 reported that Hurricane Dora was 6 for the northern part of Florida. Soon the storm got

and the wind blew. Then, the tall pine trees started to sway. And, by “sway”, I meant “ 8 over or crash down on anything in their way”. We were lucky, as the 9 went other directions and didn’t take our power out.
However, when my mother started cooking, the power was out. 10 I figured it was time to crack open that white cabinet. But, Dad thought it was time to 11 up the charcoal grill outside where it was raining and windy. To this day, I never 12 a man’s love for his grill.
Our power came back for a while. So, my mother began cooking everything she could and 13 it away, to the neighbors, to friends without power, to anyone who was 14 up. I was hoping that the fried chicken was going to find its way to our 15 . But, it didn’t. And, just as the last of the food was sent out and she began to work on our dinner, yes, we lost our 16 . It was time for 20 minutes’ eggs on the grill.
Oh, the white metal cabinet. No. We never 17 it. We weren’t “that bad off” as I understand it. And, for years I 18 how bad off we would have to be to eat out of that cabinet. Perhaps it was just the 19 of it, the thought that it was there watching our backs 20 we wanted a can of beans or some potted meat. I don’t know if that was what was in there. Anyway, I never looked inside.

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Like distance runners on measured course, all of us will move through time in a roughly predictable pattern.
In the first stage of our lives, we develop and grow, reaching toward the top of physical vitality (energy).
After we grow up, however, the body begins a process of gradually wearing out.
A new awareness of physical fitness may help lengthen our years of health and vitality, yet nothing we do will work to stop the unavoidable force of aging.
Most of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body. The lungs become less able to take in oxygen. Powerful muscles gradually lose their strength. The heart loses power and pumps less blood. Bones grow easier to break.
Finally, we meet a stress, a stress that is greater than our physical resistance. Often, it is only a minor accident or chance infection (a disease caused by virus), but this time, it brings life to an end.
In 1932, a classic experiment nearly doubled the lifetime of rats, simply by cutting back the calories (unit for measuring the energy value of food)in their diet. The reason for the effect was then unknown.
Today, at the University of California at Berkley, Dr. Paul Seagle has also greatly lengthened the normal lifetime of rats. The result was achieved through a special protein (蛋白质)limited diet, which had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain. Seagle showed that within the brain, specific chemicals control many of the signals that influence aging. By changing that chemical balance, the clock of aging can be reset.
For the first time, the mystery (something that is difficult to understand or to explain)of why we age is being seriously challenged. Scientists in many fields are now making striking and far-reaching discoveries.
An average lifetime lasts 75 years, yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life. If we could keep the vitality and resistance to disease that we have at twenty, we would live for 800 years.
1. What does the underlined word “it”refer to?
A. Physical vitality.B. Stress.C. Aging.D. Physical resistance.
2. The author believes the following EXCEPT that ______.
A. human’s life pattern is predictable
B. physical fitness can’t stop the force of aging
C. human’s lifetime will last longer than 75 years
D. all of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body
3. How did Dr Paul Seagle lengthen the lifetime of rats in his experiment?
A. By limiting the protein in their diet.
B. By cutting the calories in their diet.
C. By resetting their clock of aging.
D. By keeping their physical fitness.
4. What is probably the best title for the article?
A. Two Great Experiments.
B. The Mystery of Human Life.
C. Ways to Lengthen Human Life.
D. The Breakthrough in the Study of Aging.

With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save these in a dangerous situation. That's a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called "Noah's Ark".
Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of these animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M's College of Veterinary, Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will probably become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
"The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, but the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem," Kraemer believes. "They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort," adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A&M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
"They are trying to do something that's never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah's Ark. We're both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there's a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. The cooperation between us is very much needed."
1. The final aim of "Noah's Ark" project is to_______. .
A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas
B. save endangered animals from dying out
C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由第二段内容可知，“诺亚方舟”项目的目的在于收集濒临灭绝的动物的卵子、胚胎、精子和DNA，并液体氮将它们储存起来。某些物种灭绝了，将会有足够的基础建设材料再造这些物种。最后一段第二句We're both trying to save animals that face extinction.”又一次提到了这个项目的目的，即拯救濒临灭绝的物种。
2. According to Professor Kraemer, ________.
A. the long time lasting cloning research could be successful.
B. the eggs transfers immediately result in having a baby.
C. the lack of nuclear transfer could be a major problem to have new pandas.
D. if species should die out, basic building blocks would heal them.
答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。由倒数第二段第一句话 “…but the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem”可知，C选项错误。由该段第二句话 “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby).”可知，B选项错误。由该段第三句话 “It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works.”可知，这（细胞核移植需要很长时间，而且难度很大，但是一旦成功，便会成为开创性的科学。If certain species should become extinct, …there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.”，而 D选项 “如果物种灭绝，基础建设材料基础建设材料. The best title for the passage may be_________.
A. China's Success in Pandas Cloning
B. Helping Ways to Avoid Extinction
C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D. The Practice in Noah's Ark
答案解析：答案为C。本文为资讯报导类文章濒临灭绝从第二段起具体介绍Duane Kraemer对中国科学家克隆大熊猫的做法的评价，并与美国科学家正在从事的诺亚方舟做了对比。文章最后一段表达了他们对中国同行所做的工作的高度评价探索克隆大熊猫的可能性. From the passage we know that_______.
A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a panda
B. scientists try to implant a panda's egg into a rabbit
C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D. about two thousand species are to die out in a century
答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节题。由第三段第一句话 “It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will probably become extinct in over 100 years.”可知，D选项正确。
A选项明显错误；由第四段第一句话 “This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit.”可知，B选项错误。由最后一段最后一句话 “The cooperation between us is very much needed.” 可知，Professor Kraemer是说有必要合作，而不是将会与中国科学家一起致力于克隆研究， C选项与此表达不符，故不选。
阅读理解-----A
Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses.It’s an instinct which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources wihtin the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds think link together into the same frequency. We call it telepathy.
We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person, and they call you, you are most likely better at sending.
You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will them to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, try "feeling" who's contacting you. Don't guess, try to feel the vibrations. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesn't mean that you are not capable of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.
Telepathic Dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other, and find that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s uncounscious mind.
Telepathy&Relationships The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind, especially when separated.There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the others, mind through time spent together；the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child desperately wanting his/her mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mothers deep desire to protect her child from harm.
1. When does telepathy occur?
A. It occurs when one senses that a close friend of his/her is in danger.
B. It occurs when one has very good five senses.
C. It occurs when one wants to call his/her best friend.
D. It occurs when one doesn’t know a stranger.
答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。由第一段第一、二句话 “Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses.It’s an instinct which can be woken up in times of emergency or need.” 可知，心灵感应不依靠五官感觉，而是在紧急关头或者有需要的时候，这种潜能才能被激发出来。故A选项正确。
2. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage?
A. Receiving Telepathy
B. Telepathy: Mind-to Mind Contact
C. Telepathy: People’s Dream
D. Dream of Telepathy
答案解析：答案为B。本题考查文章的标题。全文都是围绕心灵感应而展开，故答案为B。
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The more people separate, the more likely that telepathy will occur.
B. It is by using the five senses that telepathy occurs.
C. Telepahy happens when people live far away and have no chance to see one another.
D. One is better at sending than receiving telepathy if one receives a friend’s call as one wishes.
答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节题。由第二段 “If you think of a person, and they call you, you are most likely better at sending.” 可知，如果你正在想着某人，然后他就给你打电话了，那么你可能更擅长于发送感应，D选项意思与文章符合。 故答案为D。
由最后一段 “The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind, especially when separated.” 可知，人们在一起相处的时间越长，他们的心灵相互间就越有可能产生共鸣，尤其是当分开的时候，故A、C选项错误，结合第一题分析知B选项同样错误。
4. Which of the following belongs to telepathy?
A. By accident, you are aware of a friend of yours is coming to see you.
B. People’s communication over the telephone.
C. A mother’s sense of her child is in danger.
D. A couple’s long separation.
答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由最后一段 “ A mother will often sense that her child is in danger..”可知，C选项正确。结合前面几题的分析可知，A、D不正确，B选项与文章毫不相干。
