Once, her father sent her some seeds of the indigo plant. She planted some of these in March, but a frost (霜凍) came and killed all her plants. However, she decided to plant some more seeds in April. These grew very well until a cutworm found them and ate her plants. Once more Miss Lucas planted some of the seeds. This time the plants grew very well. She wrote to her father about it. He sent her a man who knew how to get the indigo out of the plant. However, the man tried not to show Miss Lucas how to make the indigo, He did not want the people in South Carolina to learn how to make it. He was afraid his own people would not get so much money for their indigo if other people made it as well. So he destroyed the indigo on purpose. But Miss Lucas watched him closely. She worked out how the indigo could be made. Some of her fathers land in South Carolina was now planted with the indigo plant. Then Miss Lucas got married, and became Mrs. Pinckney. Her father gave her all the indigo growing on his land in South Carolina. It was all saved for seed. Some of the seed Mrs. Pinckney gave to her friends. Some of it her husband sowed (播種) .

In the laboratory, they mix cells (細(xì)胞) from a horse and a pig. They feed the cells to help them increase in number and grow into a small piece of meat. Right now, the meat that scientists have made is very small and looks gray because in vitro meat does not need blood to grow. But this is not its only problem. It lakes a long time for the meat to grow and scientists do not know how to make a large amount. It also costs a lot of money to make in vitro meat. Making enough for one meal would cost $250,000. Although producing in vitro meat has many problems, scientists continue to work because in vitro meat would have many advantages. Since we have 7,000,000,000 people on the planet to feed, in vitro meat can help lower the need for the earths resources (資源). Besides, "Moving the production of meat from farms to laboratories would help cut down the huge amount of harmful gases produced by farm animals," says reporter Nick Collins. In vitro meat could solve many of the problems of animal meat. But can humans eat this in vitro meat? Scientists do not know if it even tastes like real meat. Because of food research laws, they are not yet able to taste their meat. But they hope someday people can buy it in their local market. They say it is real meat and it is just made in a different way. A lot of people are still worried about in vitro meat. However, it will be years before the meat is ready to sell. Kate Shepard, a writer for Mother Jones magazine, says, "It will require hard testing before it can be fed to humans. It is still such a new idea that we do not know yet what health problems it may have. Right now, there are no rules for in vitro meat." 32. What are the scientists trying to find out in their experiment? A. How to get a new kind of animal. B. How to make a new kind of meat. C. How to make animal meat taste better. D. How to greatly increase animals numbers. 33. Whats Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The ways to improve the experiment. B. The bad influence the experiment brings. C. The problems scientists face in the experiment. D. The difficulty in collecting money for the experiment. 34. What does Nick think of in vitro meat? A. It stops peoples cruelty to animals. B. It is environmentally friendly. C. It is against the rules. D. It worries him a lot. 35. According to scientists, in vitro meat . A. is safe to eat B. tastes like real meat C. will soon be available on the market D. may be successful in the future 第二節(jié) （共5小題， 每小題2分， 滿分10分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 What are clouds? A cloud is made of water drops in the sky. There are many kinds of clouds, which are an important part of Earths weather. How do clouds form? The sky can be full of water. But most of the time you cant see the water. ___36 They have turned into a gas called water vapor. As the water vapor goes higher in the sky, the air gets cooler. The cooler air causes the water droplets to start to stick to things like bits of ice. What are some kinds of clouds? 37 One way is by where they are found in the sky. Some clouds are high up in the sky. Low clouds form closer to Earths surface. Middle clouds are found between low and high clouds. Another way clouds are named is by their shape. Cirrus clouds are high clouds. They look like feathers (羽毛). 38 These clouds look like huge cotton balls in the sky. Stratus clouds are low clouds. They cover the sky like bed sheets. 39____ Most of the water in clouds is in very small droplets. The droplets are so light that they float (飄浮) in the air. Sometimes those droplets join with other droplets. Then they turn into larger drops. When that happens, gravity (重力) causes them to fall to Earth. We call the falling water drops "rain". Why do scientists study clouds? Clouds are important for many reasons. Rain and snow are two of those reasons. At nigh clouds reflect (反射) heat and keep the ground warmer. During the day, clouds make shade (陰涼處) that can keep us cooler. 40 . A. What causes rain? B. Why are clouds white? C. Cumulus clouds are middle clouds. D. Clouds get their names in two ways. E. The drops of water are too small to see. F. However, other planets have clouds that are not made of water. G. Studying clouds helps scientists better understand Earths weather. 第三部分 英語知識運(yùn)用 （共兩節(jié)， 滿分45分） 第一節(jié) 完形填空 （共20小題，每小題1.5分，滿分30分） 閱讀下面短文，從短文后所給的A、B、C、D四個選項(xiàng)中， 選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。 Scott had always been creative.
