has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. for example, when i was 12, i went to puerto rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. my mom was extremely nervous about it. she kept telling me how things were different in puerto rico, to always put on sunscreen，not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. she helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.but despite her worries, she let me go on my own. as i moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn, even when it might have been difficult for her. when i reached my senior year, i decided to move away for college. once again i found that i differed from my peers：while many of them wanted to stay close to home, i couldnt wait to be out in the world on my own. while my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away, she was supportive and excited for me.one big thing i realized during my senior year, as my mom granted me more freedom, was that she actually believes in me and trusts me.that means a lot.most of my life, and especially when i was little, the main person i tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. i knew she expected nothing but the best from me. sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single b on my report card would make me feel bad because i knew she wanted me to have all as.i know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on whats important, like education, and made me who i am. i am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. most of all i respect her. she is the strongest woman i know and thats why i have turned out so strong independent.29. when the author decided to go to puerto rico, his mother_.a. wanted to go with

centuries. grafting (嫁接) is a common form of plant cloning. many plants in nature actually clone themselves and reproduce asexually.cloned plants are much more predictable than normal plants, so their yield (產(chǎn)量) is more reliable. cloned plants also reproduce faster，limiting the amount of time between planting and harvesting. it is also often cheaper to produce seeds through cloning than through traditional methods. plants can essentially be optimized so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds available. with higher yield at a faster rate, farms can produce more food for more people while decreasing overall costs.cloning can be used to wipe out diseases that previously killed off entire fields of crops. this would make plants immune to the kinds of diseases that farmers and gardeners around the world fear each year. crop failures due to disease and virus could become a thing of the past. also, plants that are near extinction can be brought back to life through cloning.through cloning scientists can develop super fruits and vegetables of superior (更好的) nutritional quality. this could make for a healthier population overall. this has already been done through selective pollination(授粉), and genetic cloning could take it to the next level.by plant cloning we have a population of identical plants and all these plants equally suffer from the same diseases, but in nature the weak would die and the strong would survive. while there are some dangers to consider with plant cloning, there are plenty of benefits that could prove vital to the propagation (繁衍) of the human species.33. the underlined word “optimized” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_”.a. perfectedb. produced c. grown d. examined34. what can we infer from the text?a. the fruits produced by cloned plants taste much better.b. there are more cloned plants than normal plants now.c. people should avoid eating cloned fruits.d. plant cloning can disturb the laws of nature.35. what is the main purpose of the text?a. to warn the negative effects of plant cloning.b. to show different kinds of plant cloning.c. to introduce the advantages of plant cloning.d. to predict the future of plant cloning.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，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。（e涂ab，f涂ac，g涂ad）every day has just 24 hoursand this applies to all people. some people
