(2021·陕西咸阳中学高三月考) For years, I was in the rat race, my n of wonder lost. Gardening was my antidote(解毒药). It gave me time to stop, listen and absorb all the little details that nature has to offer—nurturing the earth, plants and mylf to fight against the aggression and tiredness of everyday working life.
I quit my job and had a vision for my company. I wanted others to find the comfort that my garden gave me. Now, I watch my clients experience their own transformations. A corner that was once an unwelcoming place of weeds is a child's play area; a lonely person has an inspiring, evolving view.

(2021·全国高三二模) Many black-footed ferrets(雪貂) once lived in the American West. They live mainly on the prairie dogs(土拨鼠). But when farmers began killing off prairie do
gs, lots of them died, too. Additionally, the environment in which they lived was destroyed. By the 1970s, most experts believed that black-footed ferrets no longer existed. Then, in 1981, a group of them were found in Wyoming, but they were suddenly hit by an unknown dia in the mid-1980s, and their population decread to just 18. The US Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS) caught all of them and tried to protect them. All but ven died.
Currently, there’re between 400 and 500 ferrets remaining. But all of them are related to the ven animals rescued from Wyoming except Elizabeth Ann.
Normally, the DNA of the animals gets mixed up when different pairs of animals have babies. The small differences in their DNA can help protect the group as a whole. Becau all living black-footed ferrets are cloly related, they all have similar weakness. But Elizabeth Ann is cloned from an animal that died in the 1980s, so her DNA is very different. When this DNA is mixed back in, future black-footed ferrets will be healthier in general.
syntaxIn the 1980s, the DNA from a ferret named Willa was stored in the “Frozen Zoo” run by San Diego Zoo Global. Hopefully, cloning would allow black-footed ferrets to return to the wild. The idea of cloning was understood, but it was hard to carry out for many animals. The matter was left hanging in the air. But in 1996, a scientist cloned a sheep, called “Dolly”. Since then, many other animals have also been cloned. The USFWS has been talking about cloning black-footed ferrets since 2013. In 2018, they finally gave a group called Revive & Restore permission to try it.
On December 10, 2020, Elizabeth Ann was born. Blood tests have proven her to be 100% black-footed ferret.
4.What was the main cau of black-footed ferrets’ almost dying out by the 1970s?

5.What does Paragraph 3 focus on about cloning Elizabeth Ann?

C. The different types. D. The potential risk.
6.What does the underlined phra “hanging in the air” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Unexpected. B. Unconcerned. C. Unresolved. D. Unexpod.
