Questions 6—10 are based on the following passage

passage Two

Milk from cloned (克隆) cows and meat from the offspring of cloned animals cou1d be served up in restaurants, prepared in kitchens and sold in shops as early as next year in the US if the government allows it.

A recent report from the Nationa1 Academy of Sciences, America's top scientific body, supported the idea of putting clones and cloned products into the food supply. NAS found that cloning adult farm anima1s without changing their genes was unlike1y to affect the safety of the food we eat. Scientists said offspring are not a risk because they are the product of a natura1 birth. ''We're not

concerned about the offspring of c1ones at all, said Hallerman, a cloning expert. “That's just a normal animal.”

However, the Food and Drug Administration, is still hesitant to a1low c1ones, their byproducts or their offspring to go into the food supply. Another problem is that some groups are saying the development of c1oning on a large scale will lead to widespread animal suffering.

The technique may also never be cheap enough to produce animals to use directly as meat. What's more, some researchers show that cloning changes an animal's genetic patterns in a very small way. This could affect the animal's meat or milk.

Although the scientific possibility is rather small, the FDA is waiting for research that proves there is no risk before they approve the method for use.

In fact, many American livestock breeders are already raising cloned anima1s and a few cloned cows around US are already producing milk. The breeders began cloning two years ago. As the animals reach their reproductive years, the breeders are anxious to know whether they can sell cloned products. Especially when they have invested more than US $20, 000 per clone. By this spring, farmers will face the choice of selling milk from their clones or wasting it. The FDA hopes for a decision by late this year.

The cloned food products that could hit the market in smal1 quantities next year include milk from cloned cows and veal (小牛肉) from their first-generation offspring, animal breeders said.

6. What is the author's attitude towards clone?

A. Supportive

B. Critical

C. Hesitant

D. Objective.

7. What are the cloned animal breeders waiting for?

A. The permission of FDA.

B. The birth of first-generation offspring.

C. The support of NAS.

D. The marketing of milk from cloned cows.

8. Why is the FDA still hesitant to approve?

A. Because the cloning will lead to crazy cows.

B. Because the gene of cloned cows will change greatly.

C. Because there's no enough proof to show the food is safe.

D. Because the testing of the food has not been done.

9. What is the opinion of NAS scientists?

A. It is unlikely to clone animals without changing genes.

B. It is possible to change genes of the milk from cloned cows.

C. They take food from cloned animals as safe enough for human beings.

D. They think they can control the genetic changes in the cloned animals.

10. What will be the price of the milk from c1oned cows?

A. Very cheap

B. Very expensive.

C. More than US $20,000 per ton.

D. Not mentioned in the passage.

Section B

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and translate the 5 English sentences taken from the passage into Chinese.

Thank-you cards—heartfelt expressions of gratitude for gifts, services and general kindness--seem

to be rare in an age when the Internet continues to reduce human interaction.

Although our society has changed greatly over the past century, the etiquette of thank-you notes

has not. While most people would agree that thank you notes under these circumstances are a necessity, there are still those who forever postpone or are forgetful for unknown reasons.

And at no time of the year are thank-you notes more visible than June, the month of brides and graduations, and the beginning of summer parties.

It's a must-do thing. A real thank-you does not come by e-mail. It comes in the mail in an envelope. And what comes out of an envelope is a beautiful thing to touch and to handle and to pass around for everyone to read, said etiquette expert Letitia Baldrige.

Don't think for a second that Baldrige is o1d-fashioned. Handwritten thank-you notes —any handwritten correspondence, for that matter-have taken on an air of extra importance and dignity

in this world.

Baldrige remains hopeful that the art may be enjoying a renaissance.

More than simply obeying rules of etiquette, thank-you cards are a sign of caring.

“They're more important now than ever,”expert Peter Post says. “You're building a relationship. And part of building that relationship is that you acknowledge when someone has

done something nice for you.”

The payoff, Post says, can be huge. “It is perpetual,”he says. “The more we do it, the more it comes back to us, and it's a benefit to us all. It makes our world a little bit nicer place to live in.”16. While most people would agree that thank-you notes under these circumstances are a necessity, there are still those who forever postpone or are forgetful for unknown reasons.
