Many cities in Europe, Canada and the U.S. claim to be the “Christmas capital of the world.” Each one offers lots of snow, delightful Christmas markets, and plenty of musical events leading up to Christmas day. The world’s real Christmas capital, however, (11) . Yiwu doesn’t have a snowy landscape. With an average temperature of 17°C, Yiwu is far more likely to get rain than snow in the winter. What Yiwu does have is millions of Christmas decorations. In face,
(12) .
In Yiwu, there is a huge mall known as the Yiwu market. Inside it are around 62,000 booths.
(13) . Each day, the mall receives about 40,000 visitors. According to estimates, 5,000 of them are from other countries, while the rest are domestic. In the mall, they find everything from plastic Christmas trees to talking Santa Claus figures and Christmas stockings decorated with images of the jolly fellow. Christmas buyers usually visit the mall between July and September to place orders for delivery later in the fall.
Most of Yiwu’s Christmas decorations are produced in small factories. The factories have machines. Nevertheless, much of the work is done by hand. (14) . So it is cheaper for factory owners to hire more workers than to purchase expensive machines.
In 2014, Europeans placed fewer orders than usual for Yiwu’s Christmas decorations. Orders from domestic buyers, on the other hand, increased. (15) . 2015 is also shaping up to a good year for many factories.
A. Salaries for workers in the area are still relatively low.
B. sixty percent of the world’s Christmas decorations are made in the Yiwu area.
C. may be the city of Yiwu in China’s Zhejiang province.
D. Thus, business remained good in Yiwu.
E. All of them are used by manufacturers to display the products.

Ever since the cloning of Dolly the sheep was announced back in1996, scientists have started to consider bringing species back from extinction. Now with the (39) in May of 2013 of a woolly mammoth preserved in ice, this possibility is more real than ever.
The last woolly mammoth probably died around 10,000 years ago, and several well-preserved animals have been found in ice over the years. This most recent discovery, in northern Russia, is special because when scientists melted it, (40) flowed and the muscles were bright red. This means scientists might actually be able to find usable DNA. Of course, cloning is not simple. You must have a living female animal (41) the cloned cells. For the woolly mammoth, this would probably be an elephant, since an elephant is roughly the size of a mammoth. Unfortunately, these two animals are not as closely
(42) as people might think, so scientists doubt if cloned cells could (43) to become a baby mammoth with the technology we have right now.
Even if we develop the technology, it is not clear that we should bring back an extinct species. The last extinct species
scientists tried to bring back, the Pyrenean ibex, lived in (44) for seven minutes before dying. Also, elephant populations are decreasing, so using a number of females for a risky experiment might not be (45) to the living species. What’s more, as Dr. Ian Malcolm explained about dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, they were chosen for extinction by (46) . The same thing happened to mammoths many years ago. Bringing them back now could lead to all kinds of unknown trouble.
Very often these days, our scientific knowledge seems to be developing faster than our ability to understand the (47) and practical consequences of it. So while scientists are wondering how to bring back extinct species, perhaps the (48) of us should be wondering if it is wise to do so.
(A) nature (B) carry (C) discovery (D) moral (E) survive (AB) blood (AC) related (AD) rest (AE) fair (BC) misery

A psychological study called the “Scar Experiment ” caused a lot of public discussion. Ten volunteers were told that the objective of this experiment was to observe how people would respond when they saw someone with a physical defect, particularly those with scars on their faces. These participants were placed in ten small rooms without mirrors. Then, a make-up artist applied a scar to the
left cheek of each participant. Later, the scar was swept away without their knowledge. These participants were sent to the waiting rooms of different clinics to experience how people would react to them. Though they looked normal, these participants reported that people were unfriendly and repeatedly peeked at their “scars.” They believe the scar drew the public’s attention and made people treat them rudely and offensively. In fact, it had something to do with their sense of inferiority.
The sense of inferiority is associated with the environment in which one develops. Children who get criticized continually are bound to face an identity crisis. They may even cheapen themselves in the end. Negative remarks can not only become mental scars but bruise their egos and affect how they see themselves. Lena Maria’s life story is a great example. With only one leg and without any upper limbs, Lena Maria was raised with lots of love from her parents. This is why Lena appreciated her life. What’s more, her cheerful mentality has always spiced up her life. She never finds herself different from others. The lesson we should learn is not to let a sense of inferiority, a scar, or even a pimple steer us away from being ourselves.
49. The passage is mainly written .
(A) to encourage people to lead the life in a positive way.
(B) to introduce the readers a famous story.
(C) to describe some steps to become a good volunteer.
(D) to prove that wealth can bring happiness.
50. What drives Lena to appreciate her life?
(A) her sense of inferiority
(B) the motivation course she takes in college (C) her tendency to show of
(D) her parents’ love
51. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “spiced” in the second paragraph?
(A) cheered (B) fought (C) flavored (D) hot
52. Which of the following statements about Lena is true?
(A) Lena is a very pessimistic girl.
(B) Lena is a very talkative girl with a good command in language.
(C) Lena regretted not having been born healthy.
(D) Lena’s cheerful mentality inspire people to get rid of senses of inferiority.
第二篇
Scientists are trying to genetically modify the world in which we live. They are even trying to wipe out disease via modification.
For example, researchers have tried to engineer mosquitoes to kill malaria parasites. The malaria parasite is carried by the female Anopheles mosquito. When transmitted to a human, the parasite travels first to the liver and then on to the bloodstream, where it produces and destroys red blood cells. An estimated 250 million people suffer from malaria each year, and about one million die—
many of them children. There are currently no effective or approved malaria vaccines.
To “kill” malaria, scientists are genetically modifying a bacterium in mosquito so that it releases toxic compounds. These
compounds are not harmful to humans or the mosquito itself, but they do kill off the malaria parasite, making the mosquito incapable of infecting humans with malaria.
Despite this achievement, scientists are faced with the challenge of giving the modified mosquitoes a competitive advantage so that they can eventually replace the wild population. Complete blockage of the malaria parasite is very important. If some of the parasites slip through the mechanism, then the next generation will likely become resistant to it. And if that happens, the scientists are back where they started.
Another challenge for scientists is to gain public approval for this generation modification regarding mosquitos and malaria control. Environmental activists have raised concerns about the release of genetically engineered organisms without any clear knowledge of their long-term effect on ecosystems and human health. There is still a long way to go before genetic modification techniques are put to use in disease control.
53. What is the main idea of this passage?
(A) Researchers have found an effective way to halt the spread of insect-borne diseases around the world.
(B) Many people are worried about the effects of genetically modified organisms on the environment.
(D) Genetic engineering looks promising in reducing malaria, though there may be unknown consequences.
54. Which of the following best shows the organization of this passage?
(A) IntroductionComparisonContrast (B) ProblemSolutionPotential difficulties (C) ProposalArgumentsCounter -arguments (D) DefinitionExamplesTentative conclusions
55. According to the passage, which of the following is true about malaria parasites?
(A) They are resistant to genetic modification and vaccines.
(B) They reproduce in the human liver and grow stronger there.
(C) They can be found in only one gender of a class of mosquitoes.
(D) They are transmitted to around one million children each year.
56. What does “that” in the third paragraph refer to?
(A) Some malaria parasites escaping from the ecosystems.
(B) Malaria parasites becoming immune to the engineered bacterium.
(C) Modification mosquitoes becoming more competitive than the wild ones.
(D) Transmission of malaria being blocked from mosquitoes to humans.
