22．（8分）When I arrived at university, I had nothing in my bank account but was given a brand new overdraft (透支). I’d never had one before. So it was very excited to spend money on shopping, nights out, and all the junk food my mum had never let me eat. I managed to max out (达到最高限度) my account within three months and suddenly life wasn’t so much fun.
I spent the last two weeks before Easter on a diet of porridge and became self-loathing (自我憎恨的) and I also blamed Asda (阿斯达超市) for all the two-for-one deals I couldn’t resist. Now I’m working full-time to repay my debts. I’m also setting up a separate bank account for my student loan to go into to cover rent and bills. So I’ll be able to keep an eye on my spending.
With a lot of hard work and saving over the holidays I’m hoping that I’ll be in better financial shape for next year. After my experience in halls — being kept awake until 4 a.m. and work surfaces permanently covered in mind — I’m looking forward to moving into a house with friends. The partying and social life in halls are fantastic, but sometimes you’re put with people you don’t get on with, and it’s hard to cope with that. It helped me to stay strong, but I wish I had stood up to them rather than felt bullied.
I had a really bad time in my first year, which is why I’m going to make the most of university next year. I’m going to balance work with a social life, hit Freshers’ week hard and join some societies. With university handing me so many opportunities on a plate, I want to take up as many as I can and enjoy myself.

23．（8分）One evening last summer, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me. “What’s a colander (漏勺)?” he asked.
I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody else helped me in the kitchen. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for.
As parents, while we focus on our sons’ confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers. I wanted to know that Pd raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What’s for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home course. I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine.
I knew that he would rather have been playing in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother-he tried to beg not to have sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive- but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do as a mom,” he told me one day. Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there’s nothing good about being helpless.
Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That’s what I call a man. I’m glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter-in-law.
1、Why was the author shocked at her son’s response?
A．Because he was not well behaved.
B．Because he refused to help with dinner.
C．Because he didn’t know the common kitchen tools.
D．Because he was very curious about kitchen tools.
2、In the author’s opinion, some parents pay little attention to .
A．building up children’s confidence
B．telling kids what is right and wrong
C．preparing children for their future life
D．making children live a hard life
3、After learning to do housework, Ray .
A．fell in love with sewing
B．did other work in the house
C．began to be more hardworking
D．acknowledged his mother’s efforts
4、We can infer from the text that Ray .
A．made great progress in cooking
B．always thought housework interesting
C．preferred sewing to cooking
D．was unwilling to learn cooking at first
24．（8分）China became the first country to clone a monkey using non-reproductive cells, scientists said on Thursday. By December 2017 , the Chinese Academy of Sciences had created two clone macaques(猕猴) named“Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua”by nuclear transferring of body cells—any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells. This was the similar technology used to create the famous clone sheep Dolly in 1996.
Telra, a monkey born in 1999 , is the world’s first ever-cloned monkey, but it was done using a simpler method called embryo splitting(胚胎分裂)，and cannot be genetically modified to suit experimental needs, said Pu Muming, a leading researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Cloning a monkey using body cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate(灵长类)that shares its genetic makeup, therefore all of its complexity, with humans, he said.
For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which is costly, bad for the environment and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes, Pu said.
By cloning monkey using body cells, we can mass reproduce a large number of genetically identical monkeys in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs, he added. “This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and produce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine.”
Sun Qiang, director of the non-human primate research facility at the institute, said most of the drug trials are currently done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work or even have severe side effects on humans because the two species are so different.
Monkeys and humans are both primates, so they are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans. This achievement will help China lead the world research in an international science project related to study of primate brains.
1、Which description of the two clone macaques is true?
A．They were the first monkeys ever-cloned in the world.
B．They were created using reproductive cells.
C．They would be fed to suit experimental needs.
D．The technology used to create them was similar to that of creating Dolly.
2、The underlined word in the fourth paragraph is closest to “ ”in meaning.
A．same
B．similar
C．relevant
D．close
3、What can be learned from the passage?
A．Pu Muming and Sun Qiang were doing most work in cloning the two macaques.
B．Genetic research on monkeys can be seen as effective as that on humans.
C．Most drug trials have been done on mice because mice share the same genetic makeup and complexity with humans.
D．Scientists can mass reproduce cloned monkeys to cut down experiment costs.
4、This passage above can be most probably read in
A．a science magazine
B．a guidebook
C．a science fiction
D．a brochure
25．（10分） According to Guglielmo Cavallo and Roger Chartier, reading aloud was a common practice in the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and as late as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Readers were “listeners attentive to a reading voice,” and “the text addressed to the ear as much as to the eye.” The significance of reading aloud continued well into the nineteenth century.
Using Charles Dickens’s nineteenth century as a point of departure, it would be useful to look at the familial and social uses of reading aloud and reflect on the functional change of the practice. Dickens habitually read his work to a domestic audience or friends. In his later years he also read to a broader public crowd. Chapters of reading aloud also abound in Dickens’s own literary works. More importantly, he took into consideration the Victorian practice when composing his prose, so much so that his writing is meant to be heard, not only read on the page.
Performing a literary text orally in a Victorian family is well documented. Apart from promoting a pleasant family relationship, reading aloud was also a means of protecting young people from the danger of solitary（孤独的）reading. Reading aloud was a tool for parental guidance. By means of reading aloud, parents could also introduce literature to their children, and as such the practice combined leisure and more serious purposes such as religious cultivation in the youths. Within the family, it was commonplace for the father to read aloud. Dickens read to his children: one of his surviving and often-reprinted photographs features him posing on a chair, reading to his two daughters.
Reading aloud in the nineteenth century was as much a class phenomenon as a family affair, which points to a widespread belief that Victorian re
