A
Being a doctor was the aim of my life. I chose science in high school. It was far away from my home city and traveling alone every day wasn’t considered possible. It was not in my fate to be a doctor, so the second choice I considered was to become a teacher.
I always loved helping my younger brother and sister with their studies which in turn helped me in mine. The love and care provided by my teachers and the support of my parents made me what I am today. It has been 24 years, but each day is as new and fresh as the first. Each day has so many memories.
Students look so lovely when they share their problems with me whether they are about studies or about home. I learned a lot in the process of solving their problems. I always wanted my students to feel comfortable with me, take me as one of them and not treat me like a stranger. I gave my students what they needed and did not force them to do anything. Meeting with old students makes me feel alive. The brightness in their eyes gives me happiness and it keeps me going. Teaching has given me pleasure and satisfaction.
Life should be all about gaining and giving away knowledge. Parents should particularly pay attention to their children exploring their hidden talents. They should take proper care of their diet as they depend on them and if not it will inhibit (抑制) the children’s abilities. Learn about your kids; take care of them and their activities. Make them read books as it leads to creativity.

National parks in the UK are a wonder to see, run by the National Trust, a non-profit UK charity that protects Britain’s historic and natural landscapes. Britain’s Park Authority has made great efforts to protect these wild areas from over habitation and commercial activities.
Mainland England and Wales have the largest number of protected parklands. The first established area was the 1,438 kilometre Peak District. This earliest national park lies in central northern England. Due to its vast natural beauty, the Peak District is thought to be the world’s most visited national park after Japan’s Mount Fuji.
In the northwest area of Wales lies Snowdonia National Park. This attractive, mysterious ancient landscape is home to craggy (陡峭的) mountains. Walking trails to Mount Snowdon are just one of several activities exciting to hikers.
National parks in the UK can also boast of having Britain’s largest protected wetland “The Broads” just outside the village of Horning. An ideal spot for families, this 200-mile area combines waterways with an interesting intersection (交叉) of windmills, castles and an ancient Norman church.
Spreading across 885 miles of truly impressive rocky land is Lake District National Park. England’s largest park attraction is spread between Edinburgh to the north and Manchester to the south. Although the land itself seems wild, almost 40,000 people live within the park. Within this district’s vast borders we can find over 6,000 archaeological (考古的) sites and monuments dating back to prehistory.
The United Kingdom has taken great care to protect its wild open spaces for future generations, and all the parks are adventures waiting to be found which can be enjoyed by natives and visitors alike.

When your skin gets burned, it’s not only painful; it’s bad for your body. Burned skin cannot keep the bacteria out, so infections (感染) are common. Doctors often wrap burns in bandages for protection, but a recent study shows that a new kind of bandage can actually fight infection.
Toby Jenkins, a scientist in England, worked on the study. Jenkins and his colleagues developed a material that contains tiny capsules (胶囊). To a bacterium, these capsules look like cells just waiting to be damaged. The bacteria attack the cells by releasing poisons. But when the bacteria attack the capsules, the capsules fight back — by releasing antibiotics (抗生素) that knock out any nearby bacteria.
The material was tested on two types of harmful bacteria. When researchers placed pieces of the new material in a dish with the bacteria, the bacteria barely grew at all, which is unusual. This observation led the researchers to believe that the material really works.
The scientists want the bandages to work specifically against dangerous bacteria, so they also tested the material on a harmless type of E. coli bacteria. When the material was placed in a dish with E. coli, the bacteria grew quickly — showing that it didn’t fool the harmless bacteria. This early experiment shows that the material can selectively kill dangerous bacteria, but it’s too early to start using the material in hospitals.
“This is a nice approach and they’ve shown in principle that it works,” said Christopher Batich, a biomedical engineer in the US, who did not work on the study. While he’s excited about the results, he added that the real world is more complicated than this experiment. “You’d have to work with real bacteria and real wounds to see if it makes a difference,” he said.
Jenkins and his colleagues are back at work improving the material. In the not-so-distant future, this kind of antibacterial bandage may move from the laboratory to the hospital bed — and give burned victims a fighting chance against infection.
8. What’s the purpose of this passage?
A. To talk about ways of preventing skin infections.
B. To remind the readers to avoid being burned.
C. To focus on a new medical research.
D. To introduce Toby Jenkins and his career.
9. According to the passage, the capsules’ appearance 　　　.
A. can fool the harmless bacteria only
B. shows what the cells look like in our body
C. can cause the harmful bacteria’s aggressive behavior
D. can make the harmful bacteria kill themselves
10. It can be inferred from the passage that E. coli bacteria probably 　　　.
A. made no attacks on the cell-like capsules
B. fought against some harmful bacteria
C. protected burned victims from infection
D. released antibiotics themselves
11. According to the passage, Mr. Batich may agree that 　　　.
A. the experiment was a piece of good news for any patient
B. the new kind of bandage needs further testing in practice
C. Jenkins and his colleagues are all outstanding
D. the new kind of bandage will be used in hospitals soon
D
Paul Larsen’s Vestas Sailrocket 2 is half boat, half plane, and hopefully it will soon be the fastest sailing boat on water too. “Everything above the water is an aeroplane and everything below the water behaves just like a boat,” says Larsen, a professional sailor who’s now turned his attention to breaking the speed sailing record, describing it as his lifetime mission (使命). “A large part of this boat is flying,” says Larsen. “When it’s going at high speed, it’s like a well-built paper airplane.”
The record is open to any craft (飞行器), as long as it’s using wind and water, and there is at least one person on board. At present, it is held by American kite surfer Rob Douglas, who reached 55.65 knots (about 103 kilometres per hour) over the required 500 meter course in 2010.
The craft may be using the latest technology, but its concept (理念) is based on a craft that was written about nearly five decades ago. American rocket scientist Bernard Smith wrote about a sailboat in 1963 that he believed could reach 40 knots — a concept that was well ahead of his time. Larsen’s team tracked down Smith in 2007 to tell the then 97-year-old that they had broken the 40 knots, using the ideas Smith came up with 44 years earlier. Based on that design, they have since been able to go 50 knots and are pushing to go even faster.
“It is dangerous,” Larsen admits. “You go out there and you don’t realize the consequences if the smallest thing goes wrong.” The worst crashes are the ones when the boat dives directly into the water. “That’s a killer. At least in the air you slow down.” Although there is some danger, Larsen and his team won’t stop until they hit the 60 knot mark and take with it the world speed sailing record.
12. Larsen hopes to realize his dream to .
A. set a new world speed sailing record
B. design a craft which can fly and sail
C. win a gold medal in the Olympic Games
D. put his Vestas Sailrocket 2 into market
13. To challenge the record, a competitor must .
A. make a boat of special paper
B. sail the boat designed by himself
C. go through half a kilometer course
D. make use of the latest technology
14. What can we infer from the text about Bernard Smith?
A. He was a professional sailor himself.
B. He instructed Larsen’s work now and then.
C. He designed the boat particularly for Larsen.
D. He got to know his concept proved to be a success.
15. The most dangerous moment comes when Larsen’s boat .
A. reaches the highest speed B. gets into water from the air
C. starts to fly into the air D. slows down in the air

Basketball is so popular that almost every country in Asia, Europe and America plays the sport. 16 I have seen people playing indoors and outdoors so many times, but it is mostly played outdoors along the streets. I will list some of the top reasons why people love to play basketball.
Basketball is affordable (支付得起的). All you need is a ball and a basketball court. 17 You can have different choices when it comes to the prices. On the other hand, finding a basketball court is not a problem either. There are lots of schools and communities who open their gates for individuals who want to play the game.
18 If you are unable to use the courts in both public and private schools, there are many social communities who provide them. Some local governments try to set up public sports areas for everyone to enjoy. If you want to play, all you need to do is to go to the nearest basketball court available in your community or your local basketball club.
Basketball enables you to play with 5 or more friends all at the same time. 19 In this case you may get tired and bored when waiting for your turn. In basketball, you can have great chances of playing all the time.
If you want to learn more about the sport and improve your basketball skills, you can attend basketball camps. 20 These camps provide excellent tutors who can help you improve your shooting, dribbling (带球), and other basketball abilities.
A. Basketball can be played anywhere.
B. A basketball does not cost much.
C. It is always fun to meet strong-minded people.
D. They are available and nearly open for everyone.
E. These rules are very simple and easy to understand.
F. Almost every person knows how to play the sport.
G. However, many other sports can be played only by two or four people.
