It is bitterly cold and snowy, but the warm train is right on time. I feel pleasantly satisfied as I look out at the rush hour traffic on the motorway. I feel more
11、satisfied as the smell of fresh coffee announces the arrival of the drinks service. Swiss friends often tell me, proudly, that their rail service is the best in the world, but recently, one experience has proved that the great Swiss love affair with their railway has turned a little sour.It all bega
12、n with the decision to end ticket sales on trains. One cold morning I arrived at my local station only to find that the ticket machine was broken. No matter, I thought, I have got a smart phone, and I hurriedly set about buying my ticket that way. This was not as easy as I had expected, busying myse
13、lf between credit card and phone with freezing cold fingers, but, by the time I got on the train to Geneva I had an e-ticket and I proudly showed it to the conductor. Unfortunately she told me that my ticket was not valid. Several weeks later a letter arrived from Swiss railways together with a fine
14、 for 190 francs ($ 210).The good people there tell me the formal payment for my ticket from my credit card company arrived four minutes after my train left the station. That means, they say, that I bought my ticket on the trainand that is strictly prohibited.Swiss railways say their policy is design
15、ed to protect honest ticket-paying passengers, but a quick look at their balance sheet suggests something else. The company is making about $2 million a month from fines.Although train travel is still popular, those seats do not feel as comfortable; the coffee does not smell quite so goodbecause Swi
16、ss railways have lost, for now anyway, something far more precious than $2 million a month: good relations with their customers.1、What can we learn from paragraph 1?AThe Swiss trains usually come late.BTraffic on the motorway goes smoothly.CThe author hates traveling on the Swiss train.DThe author i

These monkeys are not actually the first primates（灵长类）to be cloned. Another o
20、ne named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo（胚胎）splitting, the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus（原子核）with DNA from a differentiated body cell. This Dolly method, known as soma
21、tic cell nuclear transfer（SCNT）, can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNASuccess came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscopy to better view the cells during handling or using several materials that encour
22、age cell reprogramming, which hadnt been tried before on primates. Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers pouring water on the idea that the teams results
23、bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.But the sci
24、entists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier for cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely for producing non-human primate models for human diseases; they absolutely have no intention, and society
25、 will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.1、What do we know about the technology called SCNT?AIt created the first two primates.BIt may contribute to editing the DNACIt
26、 can divide an early-stage embryo into several cells.DIt produced two cloned monkeys with different genes.2、What does the author mean by “pouring water on the idea” in paragraph 2?AKeeping a hot topic of it.BAttaching no importance to it.CHaving a low opinion of it.DAdding supportive evidence to it.
27、3、What is the scientists purpose to clone these monkeys?ATo prepare for their research on human cloning.BTo serve as a stepping stone to their reputation.CTo help with the study of human diseases.DTo raise money for holding an exhibition of novels.4、What can we infer from the passage?ACloning humans
28、 is already on its way.BNew techniques seem to be pointless.CSociety wont agree to clone another monkey.DThe success rate of cloning a monkey was not high.23（8分）“You can choose your friends, but you cant choose your family.” That line comes from American writer Harper Lees book To Kill a Mockingbird
29、. Now compare her words to another famous expression: “Blood is thicker than water”.However, if forced to choose which is more important, American researchers now say friendship is more important than family. Their new study suggests that friends may be more important than family members, especially
30、 as we age.The study comes from researchers at Michigan State University. They found the importance of friendship on health and happiness grows as people get older.William Chopik is an assistant professor of psychology at Michigan State and was one of the lead researchers in this study. He says, “Fr
31、iendship becomes even more important as we age. Keeping a few really good friends around can make a world of difference for our health and well-being.” Chopik notes that we need to think of friendship as an investment in our future happiness.The Michigan State researchers considered information from
32、 two separate surveys. In the first group, both family and friendships influenced overall health and happiness. However, in the second, researchers said that friendships “became a stronger predictor of health and happiness” as people get older. Also in the second group, unhealthy friendships led to
33、increased chronic conditions. But with supportive friends, Chopik noted, participants reported being happier.One reason is that people can keep the friendships that make them feel good and move on from the ones that dont. Family, on the other hand, will always be with you. They can be helpful and en
34、joyable, but can also cause troubles.This may be good news for people who dont have strong ties with family members. Not all of us are born into the families we need. But we all have the ability to choose friends that we need.1、94What should we invest to get later well-being according to the researc
35、hers?AGood friend ties. BEasy health exercises.CCommon family relations. DPersonal relation knowledge.2、96How is the research carried out?ABy doing two experiments. BBy interviewing all at once.CBy conducting two surveys. DBy taking part in activities.3、98What can the people with weak family ties do
36、?ADevelop stronger family relations. BMake as many friends as possible.CGet more supportive friends. DStay with family members.4、100What is the main idea of the passage?AFriends and family members are equally important.BWhen we grow older, friendship matters more.CAs we age, family members are more
37、valuable.DWe always need friends and family members.24（8分）Like many young people, I dreamed of growing up and becoming a successful writer one day.

39、iter could devote his time to writing soul-destroying online copy. It provided a little pay, but I wouldnt faint. So I quit my day job. But it is difficult to work from home.

The job was simple: I complained about everything that was wrong with society and they paid me 50 for each article. A guy from the
41、website asked if I would be interested in leaving my small town life to move to the big city of Manchester to become a professional writer for them. I accepted.After a pretty successful year, I was offered a promotion. Just 18 months earlier, I was suffering from the smell of paint on a daily basis
