Twelve-year-old Amanda Clement raced to the ballpark across the street from her house in Hudson, South Dakota. She couldn't wait to join her brother, Hank, and the boys for a game of baseball. Would they let her play? She could throw, run and bat as well as any of them, but they let her play only when they needed her. She would have to umpire again. At least she could be part of the game. Amanda knew all the rules, and the boys could count on her. Over the next few years, local teams began asking her to judge their games，too.

Utah Lake is, in a word, disgusting. The State of Utah has worked with many partners and spent millions of dollars in an attempt to restore Utah Lake. It has indeed produced some active effects. However, due to the wastewater getting into it，this body of water is rich in nutrient and home to water bloom. Overfishing and the introduction of invasive species have only made the problem worse. In the summer of 2016，500 people in Utah complained about their headaches, skin rashes and discomfort after swimming in the lake. The Utah Lake Restoration Project is headed by Parker. He imagines a beautiful lake dotted with man-made islands where a community could be built. Parker frequently goes to Capitol Hill to push for the proposal of the comprehensive lake restoration. Parker follows his rules "big ideas are worth approaching"，as the project calls for lake digging, the creation of islands，the removal of invasive species to restore the habitats of native plants，fish and so on. Speaking of the Utah Lake Restoration Project，Ben Holcomb said, "It is not quite in line with reality.” He added，"Despite impressive computer models and the current project report， the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the actual field research to show that this project will have a positive effect on the lake's ecosystem.” When asked how the public would help beautify Utah Lake, the lake's official workers suggested picking up garbage. However, it has a greatly limited effect on the overall health of the lake. Parker's plan may seem like the state's best chance to restore Utah Lake, but in reality the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the facts necessary for this sort of proposal. The State of Utah should propose some suggestions for the revision of the plan and offer the Utah Lake Restoration Project the access necessary to conduct research which could be compared with their theoretical findings. Only then can the State of Utah make an educated decision on behalf of people and resources. 【1】What can we learn from paragraph l？ A.The State of Utah has tried to restore Utah Lake. B.It is not difficult to save Utah Lake for the State. C.People living around Utah Lake are healthy and happy. D.People don't swim in Utah Lake because of its pollution. 【2】What's the purpose of the Utah Lake Restoration Project A.To build a community near Utah Lake. B.To make the water of Utah Lake rich in nutrient. C.To make Utah Lake popular with foreign tourists. D.To build a safe home for native creatures in Utah Lake. 【3】What's Ben Holcomb's attitude towards the Utah Lake Restoration Project? A.Doubtful. B.Optimistic. C.Unconcerned. D.Approving. 【4】What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph A.Picking up garbage is the key to saving the whole lake. B.There's no proper way to save the health of Utah Lake. C.Parker's plan needs some field research and adjustment. D.Local people should take responsibility for saving Utah Lake. |

Recently, few samples of mice with diabetes(糖尿病)in an experiment showed signs of recovery. Then there arose much discussion regarding the morality of such animal-testing procedures, especially since many unfortunate samples lost lives. Is it moral and necessary to make sacrifices to benefit the majority? Or are these procedures merely an immoral and unnecessary waste of lives Some people assume that it is acceptable to make sacrifices for the greater benefits because it can provide a more accurate insight to promote the progress of science. Through the test，we are able to obtain more accurate and reliable results that can lead to beneficial scientific progress to help the majority. Scientists believe that sacrificing real animal samples can give more accurate insights compared to abstract computer modeling. For example, researchers who have conducted experiments on mice for Parkinson's disease have found more promising results which could reverse the symptoms of this previously incurable disease. Therefore, the long-term benefits are more important than the short-term sacrifices. However, others have argued that these acts are morally inappropriate especially since we have advanced to the point where there are more moral alternatives at present. They believe that everything has an alternative as long as effort and money are placed. With the presence of better and more moral alternatives, there is no reason and moral room to sacrifice, even if it is for the larger benefits. In all，the samples' sacrifice is unavoidable due to their potential to attain great scientific progress. Research has shown that the cases having better and more moral alternatives are in rare exception, and most alternatives actually end up compromising other moral boundaries in- stead. However, if there exist such alternatives to some of the scientific procedures, we should try. 【1】Why does the author use two questions in paragraph 1? A.To present diabetes. B.To introduce the topic of the text. C.To remind readers to focus on their health. D.To show sympathy for the dead people. 【2】What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to? A.Morality. B.Progress. C.Sacrificing samples. D.Relieving the symptoms of the disease. 【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Mice-testing experiments are illegal. B.There is no moral debate about animal testing. C.Scientists decide not to use animals for experiments. D.Researchers still have to sacrifice animals for science. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.Have Animal Experiments Made Progress? B.Researches Are Fighting for Animal Rights C.Is It Necessary to Sacrifice Animal Samples? D.More Effort and Money Will Be Spent on Animals |

Given the high price of housing, many of us are living in smaller spaces than we'd like. However, living in small spaces is not that bad; it has some advantages. They're cheaper to decorate. It can take thousands of dollars worth of decoration simply to make a large space look inviting.【1】Instead of many pieces of large, expensive furniture, you only need a few to make your style sing. You'll have plenty of money left for other things. They're easier to clean. This must be one of your favorite things about living in a small space. The bigger the space, the longer it takes to organize and tidy up. 【2】 That's why small spaces are welcomed by those who like being surrounded by order and cleanliness and don't want to spend a ton of time and energy in keeping them that way. 【3】It takes a lot to pay for heating, cooling and electricity, which can also cost much energy. When you compare the electricity bill of someone living in 500 square feet with that of someone living in 3，000 square feet，the difference can be great. We use less energy and produce less waste when we live in small spaces.【4】 They're easier to personalize. Ever have you walked into a large home that feels more like a museum than the small home of someone you know? It's usually not the most familiar or welcoming atmosphere.【5】It is much easier to decorate a small home in your own style. A. They're more organized and comfortable. B. No one wants to spend hours just cleaning. C. Living in small homes makes your life in mess. D. They're financially and environmentally friendly. E. So it also does good to our beloved Mother Nature. F. Actually, you want your home to show your personal style. G. Small spaces, however, make decorating more simple and affordable. |
