B
It is 10 in the morning, and I am travelling by raft down the Li River. The sun is already burning hot even
though it has not yet reached full strength, but a calm breeze cools my skin. So far the day is wonderful, but
the purpose of my trip is not just to have fun: I am following in the footsteps of Xu Xiake(1587-1641), the
famous Chinese travel writer and geographer. Though Xu was from Jiangsu, he spent more than 30 years
travelling throughout the country, and greatly admired my destination today—ox Gorge.
As we flow down the river, we are surrounded by steep hills sticking up into the sky-karsts. Karsts are
rock formations made of limestone. They have been sculpted by water and millions of years of erosion into
these beautiful natural sculptures. Guangxi is full of karsts, giving it some of the most interesting—and
beautiful—scenery in the world. Xu was one of the first people to make a careful study of Guiln's karsts and
their related cave systems. He, like many people today, found them fascinating.
Suddenly, our raft hits some rapids, and I find myself covered in water. I turn to my raftsman and we
share a laugh. The water not only keeps us cool, but it is all part of the adventure.
What made someone like Xu spend years traveling thousands of kilometres away from home? Perhaps it's
the same reason as mine: to explore the world and to discover new things. As Xu wrote, "A great man should
in the morning be at the blue sea, and in the evening at Mount Cangwu. Why should I restrict myself to one
corner of the world?
Xu was not alone. Much like today, the late Ming Dynasty was a golden age of tourism within China.
People travelled hundreds of kilometres to visit temples, go mountain climbing, or explore scenery.
Yet, perhaps no one in China travelled farther or longer than Xu Xiake. At least, if anyone did they did not
write about it.
24. Why did the author decide to go to the Guilin?
A. Just to have fun and relax himself.
B. To explore the world and discover the new things.
C. To enjoy the scenery and recall a Chinese famous travel writer
D. To travel by raft down the Li River.
25. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Xu Xiake admired the scenery of ox-Gorge but he had not been here.
B. Guilin’s karsts are formed by water’s erosion over the years.
C. The author felt frustrated while he fell into the water from the raft.
D. People in the Ming Dynasty enjoyed travelling around the country.
26. What does the underlined words “restrict” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Limit. B. Control. C. Improve. D. Behave.
27. What kind of person might Xu Xiake be according to the author?
A. Hardworking B. Adventurous C. Courageous D. Ambitious.
C
CLONING: WHERE IS IT LEADING US?
When it was announced in 2018 that the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai had created the world's
first cloned monkeys, Zhongzhong and Huahua, heated discussions followed online. In fact, cloning has always
been with us. It is a way of making an exact copy of another animal or plant. It happens in plants when gardeners
take cuttings from growing plants to make new ones. It also happens in animals when identical twins are produced
from the same egg. These are both examples of natural clones.
Cloning has two major uses. First, gardeners use it to produce large quantities of plants for sale. Second, it is
valuable for research on new plant species and for medical research on animals. Cloning plants is fairly
straightforward, while cloning animals is much more complicated and difficult. Over the years, many scientists
failed in their attempts to clone animals, but their determination and patience paid off in 1996 with a breakthrough
—the cloning of Dolly the sheep.
With the advances of scientific research, cloning will have several major uses in the future. For one thing, it
could be used to breed animal species which are endangered, or even bring back species which are now extinct.
For another, it could be used to grow human organs or tissue in animals, which could be used for human organ
transplants or medical treatments. Finally, cloning could be used to breed animals that will provide us with higher
quality meat, milk, or eggs.
While there are technical issues that need to be worked through to make widespread cloning possible, the
biggest concerns are moral. For example, if scientists brought an extinct animal back into existence, it would
probably end up living in a zoo. That is not very good for the animal. Even worse for the animal is using it as a
source of organ transplants—because it will be injured or even die. ln addition, many people worry that eating
animal products that result from cloning might be harmful to our health over time. The possibility of using cloning
to produce human beings is an even bigger concern. What would happen if such knowledge ended up in the wrong
hands?
When it comes to cloning, we wonder, ultimately, whether cloning will help or harm the world. No doubt, we
will be talking about this question for a long time to come.
28. Which of the following is not the use of natural clones today?
A. Gardeners take cuttings from the plants to make new ones.
B. Identical twins are produced from the same egg.
C. Scientists created the world’s first cloned monkeys.
D. Gardeners use cloning to produce large quantities of plants for sale.
29. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. Possible uses of cloning in the future. B. Current uses of cloning.
C. Whether cloning is good or bad. D. Moral and ethical concerns about cloning.
30. Why do many people worry about cloned food?
A. It might not be fresh. B. It might not be nutritious.
C. It might not be clean. D. It might be harmful to our health.
31. What does the author mean by “What would happen if such knowledge ended up in the wrong hands”.
A. The cloned animals end up living in a zoo.
B. The cloned animal is used as a source of organ transplants.
C. Using cloning to produce human beings is a bigger concern.
