A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute,” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would shout. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I asked the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.

I’m sure many of you have seen Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Multiplicity, or many of the other movies that describe cloning. Most of what you see in these movies is false. What you don’t know is that cloning could be dangerous, to the clone and to our society as a whole. It’s immoral to have a human clone.
What about identity? Humans are promised the right to their own personality. What would happen if we ignore those rights by giving them someone else’s genetic identity? True, personality is not fixed in someone’s genes, but the clone would share any physical appearance or genetic fault of the cloned.
Also, there is a large power struggle here. Cloning means a degree of power and control over another person’s physical identity and that ignores their rights and their only personality. The person doing the cloning would have more power than any parent would have.
Cloning would also deal with killing embryos(胚胎). You might not have known, but Dolly, the sheep that was cloned in 1996, was one of over 200 sheep embryos and hers was the only embryo that survived. The rest died or were thrown away. Imagine if the failure rate was that high when we started to clone humans. More than 200 embryos, the start of 200 human beings, would die for the sake of just one embryo that would have the same DNA as someone else.
Cloning someone, at this present time, would be extremely dangerous to the birth mother and the clone. In studies done on cows, 4 out of 12 birth mothers died. There is a very high failure rate, which is showed in the cloning of Dolly. Even if you had a few good embryos, failures have been noticeable in animal tests.
So, should we work ahead in the world of cloning? I say no. The risks are greater than the benefits. It’s dangerous to the clone and to the birth mother. We would be killing human lives in the process. It would also be a violation(侵害) of the clone’s right to its own genetic identity and personality.
28. The author thinks human cloning is wrong mainly for ____ reasons.
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
29. According to the article, what is the author’s opinion about identity?
A. Cloning itself gives parents great power over identity.
B. People’s identity is completely determined by their genes.
C. Government have the rights to confirm people’s identities.
D. Cloning may prevent people from possessing their identity.
30. From Paragraph 4 we can infer that ______.
A. human cloning is much more difficult than animal cloning
B. Dolly is the most successful one among 200 sheep embryos
C. cloning means running the risk of wasting too much effort
D. numbers of baby animals are likely to be created by cloning
31. Why does the author mention some movies in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic of the article. B. To present his idea about the movies.
C. To state the conclusion. D. To make the article unusual.
D
A new factory that turns used wine bottles into green sand could revolutionize the recycling industry and help to filter(过滤)the nation's drinking water.
For the last 100 years special high grade white sand quarried(开采)at Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire has been used to filter tap water to remove bacteria and impurities—but this may no longer be necessary.
The green sand has already been successfully tested by water companies and is being used in 50 swimming pools in Scotland to keep the water clean.
Backed by one million pounds from the European Union and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs(Defar), a company based in Scotland is building a factory to turn beverage bottles back into the sand from which they were made.
The idea is not only to avoid using up increasingly scarce sand in Scotland and avoid any further quarrying but also to solve a crisis in the recycling industry. The UK uses 5.5 million tons of glass but recycles only 750 000 tons of it.
Howard Dryden, the scientist and managing director of the company has spent six years working on what he calls Active Filtration Meadia, or AFM, the recycled glass. He says he needs bottles that have already contained drinkable liquids to be sure that drinking water would not be polluted.
"The fact is that tests show that AFM does the job better than glass, it is easier to clean and reuse and has all sorts of properties that make it ideal for other applications, "he claimed. He also thinks the market will be able to take 250 000 tones of green sand a year. The plan is to build five or six factories in cites in UK where the bottles come from to cut down on transport.
The factory will be completed this month and is expected to go into full production on January 14 next year. Once it is providing a "regular" product, the government's drinking water inspectorate will be asked to perform tests and approve it for general use by water companies.
32. It may no longer be necessary to use high-grade white sand to keep water clean because_____.
A. white sand is being used up B. A new factory has been set up
C. there is no need to keep water clean D. The green sand has been used to keep the water clean
33. According to the passage, the new idea can do the following except_____.
A. cutting down the cost on transport B. avoiding further quarrying of white sand
C. solving the crisis in the recycling industry D. avoiding using up increasingly scarce sand
34. The underlined word "Backed" in the third paragraph can best be replaced by"_____".
A. Allowed B. Opposed C. Supported D. Forbidden
35. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Modern Technology and New Markets. B. Unlocking the Benefits of Green Sand.
C. Revolution in Environmental Protection. D. Revolution in the Recycling for the Industry.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence. They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment.
Have you heard of Bollywood? All singing, all dancing and unrealistic, it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies. Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay. 36 Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world. This year the Indian Filmfare Awards, Bollywood's Oscars, turn 63 years old.
The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients: a cup of romance, a tea-spoon of comedy, a dash of international sight-seeing, served with a huge slice of singing and dancing. There will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddie. 37 Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 38 The actors change clothes and locations within a single song. But the audience don't mind. To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods. The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles. The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.
39 Behind the beautiful scenes, Bollywood still emphasizes traditional family values. In most films, if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage, they can't just run away. They must win over their parents.
Bollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those over-stimulating Hollywood films. 40 They will take you to a brighter, cheerier and more colorful world, where it's still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.
A. Bollywood has gradually won its reputation on the world stage.
B. There is never any mention of politics, poverty or war.
C. Most Chinese school kids have probably never seen an Indian film.
D. Bollywood films are mostly comic romances with light-hearted incidental music.
E. Bollywood pays great attention to traditional values.
F. The result is a fun-filled musical.
G. So if you’re tired of all that Hollywood actions, check out the following Bollywood films.
