Some people even do not have time for a short sleepThey will not have enough time for pets, eitherFor good bird health it is very important to handle them and play with them as much as you canAlso there are a lot of people who think that birds do not require a lot of space and they are wrong againThey also need to fly so if you do not have space for it, youd better reconsider the thingsBut do not forget the great advantage of having a pet birdIn the animal kingdom, birds rank near the top when it comes to smartsYou can have a friend for life if you take good care of itIts a real character and can bring joy and colour in your home1What is the text mainly about?

tripsCAirport Car Rentals With Drivers DCheap Car Tours(D)Plant cloning has been an agricultural technique used by farmers and gardeners for centuriesGrafting （嫁接） is a common form of plant cloningMany plants in nature actually clone themselves and reproduce asexuallyCloned plants are much more predictable than normal plants, so their yield （产量） is more reliableCloned plants also reproduce faster, limiting the amount of time between planting and harvestingIt is also often cheaper to produce seeds through cloning than through traditional methodsPlants can essentially be optimized so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds availableWith more yield at a faster rate, farms can produce more food for more people while decreasing overall costsCloning can be used to wipe out diseases that previously killed off entire fields of cropsThis would make plants immune （免疫的） to the kinds of diseases that farmers and gardeners around the world fear each yearCrop failures due to disease and virus could become a thing of the pastAlso, plants that are near extinction can be brought back to life through cloningThrough cloning scientists can develop “super” fruits and vegetables of superior nutritional qualityThis could make for a healthier population overallThis is already being done through selective pollination （授粉）, and genetic cloning could take it to the next levelBy 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 surviveWhile 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 species12The underlined word “optimized” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ ”Aexamined BenlargedCproduced Dperfected13According to the text, cloned plants Ahave a short growth cycleBhave lower yield than normal plantsCneed little care from people Dresist various kinds of diseases 14What can we infer from the text?APeople should avoid eating cloned fruitsBThe fruits produced by cloned plants taste much betterCThere are more cloned plants than normal plantsDPlant cloning can disturb the laws of nature15What is the main purpose of the text?ATo inform us about the advantages of plant cloningBTo warn the negative effects of plant cloningCTo present different kinds of plant cloningDTo predict the future of plant cloning第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ive been keeping an English blog for many
