21、Nowadays, girls are so mean to each other. Many girls are becoming the victims of the harmful behaviors of the female bully.

Emma Tracey was a popular 17-year-old and a well-liked athlete who had already won a soccer scholarship to college. But none of that stopped Emma from becoming the target of online girl on girl bullying (欺凌). Emma began to receive hundreds of online unpleasant comments via the latest social networking site called www.formspring.com.

In March 2011, Emma committed suicide and although all agreed that the online bother was not the single factor that led to Emma’ death, everyone did agree that it was a contributory factor.

Unfortunately, Emma’ story is not unique. A 2010 study conducted by the Cyberbullying Research Center states “Cyberbullying victims were almost twice as likely to have attempted suicide compared to youth who had not experienced cyberbullying. Girls are 57% more likely to be victims of aggressive cyberbullying and 92% more likely to be the criminals.”

Suicide is obviously the extreme and no one can minimize the tragedy of it. However, there are other damages that occur as a result of aggressive bullying. It can damage self-confidence and lead to feelings of worthlessness, and also increase social isolation and make victims become withdrawn, depressed, anxious, and unsafe. So what causes girls to be so unkind towards each other?

A term known as relational aggression may best describe the cause of girl on girl bullying. It starts with a clique (派系) usually led by a girl with a high level of social status and popularity. In order not to lose her position, she will control girls within the clique and take action if she feels threatened. At the leader’s directive the girls within the clique will spread rumors and lies and annoy other girls continuously.

The bullying starts at school but will quickly go to cyberbullying due to anonymity (匿名) and lack of punishment. Girls will easily do so in the anonymity of the Internet. Finally the cause will be summarized as the unsafety and jealousy of one girl and the twisted loyalty of members within her clique. Underneath the confident exterior (外表) of a female bully lie desperate unsafety.

【1】The example of Emma Tracey is given to show .

A. popular youth are not easy to become the target of bullying

B. today’s youth don’t like to study any more

C. suicide is a serious problem among youth

D. cyberbullying is quite common among teenagers

【2】The bullying will quickly go to cyberbullying mainly because   .

A. it’s free to post comments online

B. the bullies don’t have to give their names online

C. it will not attract much attention

D. it will not affect their real life

【3】Which of the following is NOT the cause of bullying?

A. Lack of safety

B. The twisted loyalty of members within a clique

C. Jealousy of others

D. Trying to be friendly

【4】We can infer from the last paragraph that a female bully   .

A. has strong self-confidence

B. has strong leadership skills

C. is actually weak inside

D. is usually good at study

22、   With only about 1,800 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species (物种). That’s a move similar to what a Texas A&M University researcher has been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”. Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A&M University Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years. This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

The entire procedure could take three to five years to complete.

“The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A&M, the first­ever attempt at cloning a dog, believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (怀孕). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer.

“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”

【1】The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to ________.

A.make efforts to clone the endangered pandas

B.transfer the nuclear of one animal to another

C.collect DNA of endangered animals to study

D.save endangered animals from dying out

【2】The underlined word “groundbreaking” can be interpreted as ________.

A.especially new B.pioneering

C.damaging D.trouble­making

【3】What may be the best title for the passage?

A.China’s Success in Panda Cloning

B.The First Cloned Panda in the World

C.Exploring the Possibility of Cloning Pandas

D.China — the Native Place of Pandas Forever

【4】From the passage we know that ________.

A.about two thousand species will probably die out in a century

B.scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit

C.Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches

D.Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog

24、Many people living in extremely low-income areas don’t have access to the materials they need to make even the most basic home improvements. Most, including Tessa Vierk’s and Jim Benton’s friends, can’t afford to buy pricey tools themselves, nor can they afford to hire someone else to repair their homes. That’s where the Chicago Tool Library comes in!

Tessa and Jim set up the library that accepts tool donations in 2019. It functions exactly like a regular library, except instead of books, people can borrow tools they need for home repairs, woodworking, gardening, cooking, camping, and more. People sign up for a library card, and there’s a pay-what-you-can annual fee with no standard or minimum payments. Members can borrow as many tools as they can carry for seven days, and renew(续借) them if they want to. When the library first started, Tessa and Jim had about 150 members. They now have over 1,500 members from all over the Chicago area and more than 2,500 tools to choose from.

Now, in fact, they’ve had to turn down tool donations. They’re searching for a larger building to hold “twice as many tools”. “Probably 90 percent of the tools we have have been donated,” Tessa said. “A lot of people own too many high-quality things, and they would give them to us so that we don’t have the space to accept.”

“While it’s quiet around the library, it’s far from the city, which is hard for young people who are working to get our services. We are planning to relocate to a larger location with a better public transport network to make our offerings, including more tools, and lots of other wonderful services, available to even more people,” they wrote on their website.

【1】What made Tessa and Jim start the Chicago Tool Library?

A．Their love for reading books.

B．Their friends’ encouragement.

C．Their interest in decorating.

D．Their desire to help the poor.

【2】Which word best describes the Chicago Tool Library?

A．Academic.

B．Popular.

C．Costly.

D．Demanding.

【3】Why do Tessa and Jim turn down tool donations?

A．They have had enough tools.

B．The tools are of poor quality.

C．Their storage space is limited.

D．They want to buy tools themselves.

【4】What can be inferred about the present location of the library?

A．It’s not easily accessible.

B．It’s close to the community.

C．It’s too noisy and crowded.

D．It’s favorable for the young.
