2.Last year,Mia McCarthy and Chase Robbins,both college students in the Iovine and Young Academy of USC(University of Southern California),were sitting around at 11 pm when they started craving for candy.The pair immediately ordered from DoorDash (a takeaway app)to settle the sweet tooth.After carefully tracking the driver for 45 minutes,the driver cancelled(取消)the delivery.This moment made them realize there had to be a quicker way for customers to order snacks without driving to a grocery store.
McCarthy and Robbins then set up their app—Handle,a service that delivers snacks,drinks,ice cream and household necessities to the USC area within 15 minutes.They spent the summer of 2021 exploring the process of starting a business. "We were trying to push things forward so fast that we started to hate weekends because no one else was working so we couldn't contact suppliers, "Robbins said.
The major difficulty they faced was to figure out what strategy made the most sense for ordering and customer convenience.They decided the best choice was to hire engineers to build a fully functional app.
Although they made a lot of preparations,the app crashed on the night of its official launch(發(fā)布)in late August,letting McCarthy and Robbins feel hopeless.Even so,they didn't give up.Robbins spent the following 10 days coding(編碼)the app so that the team could ensure success for their second launch.Mia's artistic background,combined with Robbins' engineering background,allowed them to work well together. "It was really hard and emotionally challenging, "McCarthy said. "I'm really glad that we were able to make it."
The early days of the business were nothing but difficult.McCarthy and Robbins delivered orders,worked on marketing and spoke with suppliers to improve the products the store was selling.They now have an entire group of deliverers working from 4 pm to 1 am daily,delivering thousands of products to people in the surrounding campus community.

3.China's first cloned police dog,three-month-old Kunxun,has begun training after arriving at a police base in Kunming,southwest China's Yunnan Province earlier this month.
Kunxun was cloned from a 7-year-old female police dog named Huahuangma,which is considered a great detective(偵探的)dog.A study showed that Kunxun's DNA is 99.9 percent 'similar to Huahuangma's.
Kunxun will begin training in drug'detection,and is to be a grown-up police dog at 10 months.But it would take four to five years to train a dog like Huahuangma.The birth of Kunxun provides the possibility of extending animal clone technology to police dogs,and will significantly reduce the time to train one,Zhao Jianping,Sinogene deputy general manager,told the Global Times on Tuesday.He also noted that the cost of cloning remains a bottleneck for mass production.
Wan Jiusheng,a lead researcher at the Kunming Dog Base of Public Security,told the Science and Technology Daily that Kunxun shows a better potential than the regularly bred Kunming wolfdogs in a series of tests.Wan said Kunxun will be able to become a police dog when it is about 10 months old.
A police officer told the Global Times on Tuesday that preserving the police dog blood has always been a challenge,as traditional breeding methods would dilute(稀釋)the original,and the next generation's genes will be largely beyond control.The successful police dog clone technology would address those problems and lower the elimination(淘汰)rate of police dogs at the puppy training stage,he said.
However,such technology does not mean that the mass production of police dogs has already arrived,as factors like the surroundings and trainers' skill also play an important role,Wan noted.
Kunxun is not the first cloned police dog.In South Korea,six cloned police dogs first appeared and began patrolling(巡邏) the streets in 2008.The world's first cloned animal,Dolly the sheep,was born in Scotland in 1996.
(1)What is the benefit of cloning police dogs according to paragraph 3?
A.Living longer.
B.Costing less money.
C.Reducing training time.
D.Completing harder tasks.
(2)What do Zhao Jianping's and Wan Jiusheng's opinions have in common?
A.Clone technology will be used on humans.
B.Cloned animals can help people in some ways.
C.Cloning police dogs hasn't yet reached mass production.
D.The cloned police dog trainers' skill is very important.
(3)Where was the world's first cloned police dog born?
A.In Scotland.
B.In China.
C.In the US.
D.In South Korea.
(4)Where is this text most likely from?
A.A diary.
B.A magazine.
C.A novel.
D.A guidebook.組卷:2引用:4難度:0.5

Today Spenser felt nervous.It was time for him to learn to spin (織) a web on his own.He had watched his mother build beautiful,soft webs from the silk she made herself.His mother's webs were lovely.They took a long time to make,and in the morning,they were covered with drops of dew that made them look like castles.
"OK,Spenser," said Ms.Spinney. "It's time to spin your first web.Let's begin by making a big plus sign." Ms.Spinney was Spenser's teacher.She was old and small but very strong.She quickly used her silk to make a plus sign between two nearby leaves.
Spenser was able to make silk,but he had trouble attaching it to anything.No matter how hard he tried,the threads (絲) slipped away and fell to the ground.Spenser tried hard,but he was getting tired.
"Take a break,Spenser," said Ms.Spinney. "You're trying very hard,but I can see that you're getting frustrated (沮喪的)."
"I'm not frustrated!" said Spenser. "I'm mad that I'm not good at it,and I'm sad that I can't do it. "Spenser felt like he was going to cry.
