I would say to myself，“When I grow up, when I can get rich，I will save kids all over the world.”At 17，I started my career here in Ame
12、rica, and by the age of 18, I started my first charity( 慈善) organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia(白血病), and whose story
13、 inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to my grandmother, who lost her battle with cancer in 2012, and her death is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF). Were all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at
14、a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you dont have to be rich to help others. You dont need to be famous. You dont even have to be college educated. But it starts w

And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a decision to help one person, one organization, one

19、e, effective and affordable animal tests for new drugs, scientists said on Thursday .By December, the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had created two clone macaques(猕猴) named”Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua” by nuclear transferring of somatic cells(体细胞)-any cell in the organis
20、m other than reproductive cells.Tetra, a monkey born in 1999, is the worlds first cloned monkey, but it was done by using a simpler method called embryo splitting(胚胎分割); but it could only generate four cloned offspring at a time and cannot be genetically changed to suit the experimental need.Cloning
21、 a monkey using somatic cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate(灵长类) that shares its genetic makeup, and therefore all of its complexity, with humans.For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which is costly and bad for the envi
22、ronment, and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes.By cloning monkey using somatic cells, we can massively cultivate large numbers of genetically identical offspring in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs. This can save ti
23、me, 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 h
24、ave 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,”he said. This is especially useful in testing drugs for neural(神经的) diseases s
25、uch as Parkinsons disease, metabolic syndrome(代谢综合症) and immune system diseases, and tumors, he added.“This achievement will help China lead the world research in the international science projects related to neural mapping of primate brains, he said. However, bio labs from the United States, Japan,
26、 and European countries are also very capable, and they will quickly catch up with China after the monkey cloning technology is made public, Sun added.“This means we have to innovate continuously and work extra hard this year to stay ahead, he said.1、Which of the following is the most important fact
27、or in cloning macaques named Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua?AReproductive cells. BSomatic cellsCNeural mapping. DGenetic makeup2、Why is cloning monkeys so difficult?ABecause it is bad for our environment.BBecause each monkey might have different genes.CBecause monkeys genetic makeup is as complicated as hu
28、mans.DBecause it is too expensive to work on their genetic makeup.3、What is the main idea of Paragraph 8?AThe cure for neural diseases.BThe process of cloning monkeys.CThe significance of cloning monkeys.DThe close relations between monkeys and humans.4、What can we infer from this passage?AMore effe

30、e Netflix and others the two questions then come: will the coming generations receive most of their entertainment through visual means rather than through the written word and will such an increase of narrative film/ TV reduce the importance of reading?Growing examples of this trend include the dimi
31、nishment(减少) of fiction in the common core (核心的)curriculum, the everrising culture of computer games, the wave of streaming services of wide international reach, and movies filled with special effects made for children and teenagers. Nor must we ignore the economic dangers that lie ahead for the wri
32、tten word. The narrative film industry is a moneymaker that dwarfs(使相形见绌) the publishing industry.The other underlying question, of course, is “does it really matter if the written word bows to the world of film/TV?” From my point of view, any diminishment of fiction delivered by words is a loss for
33、 mankind.There is no greater human feature than the imagination. It lies at the very soul of the human species. It is the brains most powerful engine. It is the essential muscle of life and like all muscles it must be exercised and strengthened.Writing and reading are the principal tools that inspir
34、e, create and empower our imagination. Anything that diminishes that power is the enemy of mankind.It should be known that I am not opposed to new media and technological advances. Instead, I have always felt it necessary to adapt to advancing technology. In fact, a number of my novels are in variou
35、s stages of development for film, TV, and live stage productions. My hope is that the written word will only stand to be complemented(补充)by its visual counterparts(对应物), not pushed to the edge of extinction.Of course, there are those who will present arguments for the superiority of the moving image
36、 over the written word. Each has its place. My argument is for finding the right balance between it and the moving image.1、In what way does narrative film/TV embarrass the written word?AEconomic benefitsBInternational reachCCultural influenceDEducational importance2、Why does the author value the rol
37、e of the written word?AIt strengthens our muscles.BIt helps sharpen imagination.CIt distinguishes man from each other.DIt paves the way for narrative film/TV.3、What is the authors attitude towards technology?ACautiousBSkepticalCPositiveDCritical4、Whats the author concerned about?AThe fate of reading
38、.BThe extinction of fiction.CThe impact of the written word.DThe future of the moving image.24（8分）The Secret to HappinessA new report makes it clear that when it comes to the life satisfaction of UK citizens, the ball is in the governments court. For some time, sensible people have been arguing that
39、 governments need to focus less on economic growth and more on the wellbeing（幸福）of citizens. Be careful what you wish for.In response to this demand, from 2011 David Cameron instructed the Office for National Statistics to gather data on peoples self-reported happiness and life satisfaction. Little
40、practical good has come from this so far, but a new report by George Bangham for the Resolution Foundation is one of the best attempts to make useful sense of the data. He concludes: “The best prospects for policymakers targeting future increases in national wellbeing lie in raising job quality, rai
41、sing incomes, particularly at the lower end, and policies to improve security in the housing market.”The age correlation（相关）turns out to be certainly linked to politics, despite the fact that no political party can make a difference to your date of birth. The happiness of pensioners is not just a fu
42、nction of their age, but of policy. On average, 70-year-old boomers today are the most affluent retirees in history, often owning their own homes and in receipt of generous pensions. People of 70 are not going to be as content in 30 or 40 years time if they are unable to retire, dont own their homes
43、 and have small incomes.However, there is one respect in which teens and recent retirees are remarkably similar. Compared to other age groups, they tend to inhabit a sweet spot of having high degrees of freedom. The typical 16-year-old has new freedoms without ever having had any serious responsibil
44、ities. The typical 70-year-old, having experienced a lifetime of work and family duties, has a very different kind of freedom, one born from relief.Besides，it should not surprise us to find that people tend to be happier when they have fewer worries. But this, too, has important political implicatio
45、ns. If the government is really interested in raising overall national happiness, it has to make sure as many citizens as possible feel secure in their health, their housing and their incomes. Different states records in achieving this is one important reason why Nordic countries repeatedly score hi
46、ghly in international life satisfaction surveys and North America underperforms relative to its GDP.Whichever way you look at it, there is no escaping the conclusion that increasing wellbeing across society requires joined-up, long-term policy efforts. This is exactly what the Resolution Foundation
47、recommends.1、What can be conveyed from the sentence “the ball is in the governments court” in Paragraph 1?AThe government officials are fond of playing ball games.BThe government determines national happiness.CThe government makes citizens feel happy.DThe government is in a ball game.2、What does the underlined word “affluent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?AResponsible.BCareful.CHonest.DRich.3、According to the author, the secret to happiness is f
