A
Niels Bohr did well at school without ever being brilliant,usually coming third or fourth in a class of about 20 students.If he really was good at any subject,it was,perhaps,physical education.He was an excellent soccer player,yet not as good as his brother.This was Niels Bohr,the world-famous Nobel prize winning physicist.
Born to a physiology(生理学) professor,Niels lived in a world of ideas and discussion from his very early childhood at home.He developed an interest in physics and mathematics from the early days of his education.With no laboratory available in school and college,he would perform experiments in his father’s laboratory.His first work on surface tension was done here,for which he won the Gold Medal in 1906 from the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences.
Early in his scientific career,Bohr made great contributions to the understanding of atomic(原子的) structure based on quantum mechanics(量子力学).Neils Bohr came up with the model of an atom which was able to explain all the properties(性质) of the atom.It is this atomic model that is accepted even today with only very slight improvements.This work won him the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.
When the Nazis controlled Denmark,his life became difficult.He had to escape to Sweden in 1943 in a fishing boat；from there he fled to England.England opened up opportunities of working on the atom bomb(原子弹).After a few months he joined a British research team and went to Los Alamos in the United States where the team continued to work on the project.
Niels was also deeply concerned with making people realize the destructive power of the atomic bomb.He published a letter to the United Nations in 1950 which asked them to help get rid of nuclear(核的) weapons in the world.This and his other activities won Bohr the first U.S.Atoms for Peace Award in 1957.He spent his remaining years showing people that nuclear energy must be used in a positive and productive way.
1.Who probably helped Niels Bohr develop an interest in physics?
A.His brother. B.His mother.
C.His teacher. D.His father.
2.Niels Bohr received the Nobel Prize mainly because of________.
A.his physical education
B.his atomic model
C.his understanding of quantum mechanics
D.his work on surface tension
3.Niels Bohr did his research work on the atom bomb in________.
A.Denmark B.America
C.England D.Sweden
4.From the last paragraph we can infer that________.
A.the power of the atomic bomb will be used properly
B.Niels thought it wrong to develop nuclear weapons
C.nuclear energy has been used in quite a few ways
D.Niels would like to go on with his research work

In my living room,there is a plaque(匾) that advises me to “Bloom(开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy.I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s,when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville,Kentucky.The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program.Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.
Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County,Kentucky,Appalachian Mountain area.To get to her school from the town of Harlan,I followed a road winding around the mountain.In the eight-mile journey,I crossed the same railroad track five times,giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times.Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains,I found it depressing.The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.
From the moment of my arrival at the little school,all gloom(忧郁) disappeared.Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom,I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen.The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects.Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch).In case you don’t know,poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild,especially on poor ground.
Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students.Her enthusiasm never cooled down.When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification,Dorothy was ready.She came to the assessment and passed in all areas.Afterward,she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory,as if she had received her Ph.D.degree.After the meal,she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand.She said it was a family heirloom(传家宝),but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.
5.“Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to________.
A.a program directed by Dorothy
B.a course given by the author
C.an activity held by the students
D.an organization sponsored by Union College
6.In the journey,the author was most disappointed at seeing________.
A.the long track B.the poor houses
C.the same train D.the winding road
7.Upon arriving at the classroom,the author was cheered up by________.
A.a warm welcome
B.the sight of poke greens
C.Dorothy’s latest projects
D.a big dinner made for her
8.What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?
A.She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.
B.She got a pen as a gift from the author.
C.She passed the required assessment.
D.She received her Ph.D.degree.

I am a good mother to three children.I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe.I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.I am a good friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say.I am a good friend to my friends,and they to me.Without them,there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today：get a life.A real life,not a desire of the next promotion(提升),the bigger paycheck,the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone.Find people you love,and who love you.And remember that love is not leisure(休闲) but work.Pick up the phone.Send an e-mail.Write a letter.And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives,our days,our hours,and our minutes.It_is_so_easy_
to_exist_instead_of_to_live.I learned to live many years ago.Something really,really bad happened to me,something that changed my life in ways that,if I had my choice,it would never have been changed at all.And what I learned from it is what,today,seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey,not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the world and tried to give some of it back because I believed in it,completely and totally.And I tried to do that,in part,by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this：read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy.And think of life as a deadly illness,because if you do,you will live with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.

A.make a living rather than live a real life
B.work rather than enjoy life
C.waste a lot in life

第三部分 阅读理解(共150小题；每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
Dear Mr.Expert,
I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home.I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible.
Now,at age 20,I have a good job and a nice house,and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved (获得).
Here’s the problem：several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine—so much so that they make mine theirs.
It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me.But now they seem to take it for granted(认为理所当然) that they can show up any time they like.They bring boyfriends over,talk on the phone and stay out forever.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes—it makes the place feel comfortable and warm—but this is my home,not a party house.I am old enough to move out on my own,so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(私人空间)?
Joan
Dear Joan,
If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child,you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛),you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with—or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy.You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send.For example,“I really love your company but I also need some privacy.So please call before you come over.”
Edward
56.We can learn from the first letter that Joan________.
A.lives away from her parents
B.takes pride in her friends
C.knows Mr.Expert quite well
D.hates her parents very much
57.We can infer from the first letter that________.
A.Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy
B.Joan’s friends visit her more often than she can accept
C.Joan doesn’t like the parties at all
D.Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over
58.According to Mr.Expert,why can’t Joan tell her friends her feelings?
A.She is afraid of hurting her friends.
B.She does not understand true friendship.
C.Her family experience stops her from doing so.
D.She does not put her needs first.
59 .The underlined word “conflict” in the second letter means “________”.
A.dependent life B.fierce fight
C.bad manners D.painful feeling
B
Visiting the Moon
During his term in office,President Kennedy gave full funding to NASA—the space agency.He did this because he wanted to see Americans land on the moon.In July 1969 three men fulfilled Kennedy’s dream during the Apollo 11 mission.Thousands of people had worked for years in order to send them to the moon.There had been 10 prior Apollo missions.One had failed,but the others were successful.Finally it was time to try a moon landing.
Their spacecraft took off from NASA in Houston,Texas.A Saturn 5 rocket carried the astronauts and their spacecraft into orbit.They blasted through space at speeds as fast as 25,000 miles per hour (40,234 kph).Even at that incredible speed,it took four days to reach the moon.The men had a special craft designed only for landing on the moon.This lunar module was called the Eagle.
After the Eagle landed,Neil Armstrong stepped out onto the moon.People all over the world watched on their television sets as he said,“That’s one small step for man,one giant leap for mankind.” Buzz Aldrin followed Armstrong onto the moon’s surface,but Michael Collins stayed circling the moon in the main spacecraft.He had to make sure that nothing happened to the spacecraft that would take them home.
The astronauts moved around on the moon,gathering rocks and taking photographs.They did many experiments on the moon.Before they left,they planted an American flag in the ground in the place where they landed.Next to it they put a plaque that read,“We came in peace for all mankind.” The flag and the plaque are still there.
Some people think that moon travel may become common.They want to build hotels on the moon and have people go on lunar vacations！If that happens,people will visit the site of the first moon landing.They will stand where Neil Armstrong made history.
60.Where did the astronauts put a US flag?
A.On the lunar buggy.
B.On the moon.

D.Gutenberg inventing the printing press

Cycling
Cycling is an excellent and convenient way to travel around the National Park or area where you are staying.Bringing along bicycles allows you to just get up and go wherever you are.It is important to check beforehand as to where cycling is allowed.Most National Parks only allow biking on the paved and backcountry dirt roads throughout the parks.Look into the area you will be camping in,there may be roads specifically for cycling.

D
The largest bird that cannot fly also happens to be the largest living bird in the world.This is the huge North African ostrich.When the male,or cock,is fully grown,he reaches a height nearly eight feet and many weigh close to three hundred pounds.His wings are very small and the wing feathers are very soft,and therefore he does not fly.
You have probably heard the old saying about “the foolish ostrich burying his head in the sand”.Well,the ostrich is not nearly as foolish as he is said to be.In the daytime,when the hen is sitting on the eggs,she does not want to be seen；instead of sticking her long neck up into the air,she bends her neck and head down and presses flat along the sand.That way,she can best protect the eggs and herself.
Because the ostrich cannot fly up into the air to escape from danger on the ground,he has to remain alert at all times.Luckily,he has very sharp eyesight and hearing.As he lives in the desert and open plains,he can stop danger in time to run away.The ostrich can run so fast that it almost seems as if he was flying.
Sometimes,when a person has a small appetite,we say that he “eats like a bird”.That bird is definitely not the ostrich！An ostrich will eat anything under the sun.When an ostrich died in a zoo,scientists cut it open to see what he had eaten.Here are some of the things found in the bird’s stomach：three pieces of wood,part of a film roll,a nail,a screw,a French coin,three handkerchiefs,four pennies,part of a chain and eighteen pieces of wire.
68.Which would be the best title of the passage?
A.Ostriches—the Largest Birds That Cannot Fly
B.Bird Life
C.The Foolish Ostriches
D.The Things in the Stomach of an Ostrich
69.The ostriches bury their heads in the sand because________.
A.they are too lazy to do anything
B.they are very shy
C.they can avoid being attacked
D.they like to relax themselves by doing so
70.“An ostrich will eat anything under the sun.” means “________”.
A.an ostrich will eat everything when the sun shines
B.an ostrich won’t eat anything if the sun hasn’t risen
C.an ostrich likes to eat under the sun
D.anything on the earth is what the ostrich eats

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。
When you are hungry，how will you respond？Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that？__71__ But it never lets you know，because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars.So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow.When mind loses its freedom to grow，creativity sets a full stop.This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next？” or “Why can’t I think？”.
__72__ Why reading but not watching TV？It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood.Since it develops other aspects of our life，we have to take help from reading.
When you read a book，of course you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you.__73__ Now that seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas.If it is used many times，the same seed can give you great help to relate to a lot of things，which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity.__74__ Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.
So，friends，do give food to your thoughts by reading，reading and more reading.__75__ Go and get a book!
A.The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.
B.Why not do some reading while you are hungry?
C.Just like your stomach，your mind is also hungry.
D.Now what are you waiting for?
E.Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.
F.Reading can help you make more friends，too.
G.Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.

参考范文
Sir Isaac Newton (1643～1727) is one of the most important figures in the history of science and has made significant contributions in the field of physics.Newton was born in a farmer’s family in England.His father died several months before he was born.He was educated at Trinity College，Cambridge.One of his famous quotations is “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” From what he said，we can conclude that great as he is，he’s quite modest.Newton has made so many discoveries in his lifetime including the laws of gravity that he is admired by us all.
