三、阅读理解(30分）
A
Life is full o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f surprises and you never know how things will turn out .
Sir John Gur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )don is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobe Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell(干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many scienti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sts, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance (坚持不懈)can lead.
At the age of 15 in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was“quite ridiculous”.
In spite of his te ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )acher s criticisms，Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
“My own belief i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work,” Gurdon said.
In 1962, Gur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )don took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic(基因的）information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone(克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物）in the world.
In 2006，Gurdon’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample(样本）of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
Luck favors th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e prepared mind Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work，but when they do，you have to seize(抓住）the chance.”
( )1. Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine
A. Sir John Gurdon
B. Shiny a Yamanaka.
C. Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka
D. Gurdon’s science teacher.
( )2. In what order are the followings mentioned in the passage
a. create the sheep Dolly
b. take a cell from an adult frog
d. use a person’s skin to create stem cells
d. move a frog’s genetic information into an egg cell
e. grow into a clone of a frog
A. b—a—c—d—e B. b—d—e—a—c
C. b—d—a—p—e D. b—c—d—a—c
( )3. What does the underlined word “ridiculous” mean
A.无知的 B.无畏的 C荒废的 D.荒谬的
( )4. According to the passage, which statement is true
A. As a boy, he was told he was hopeful.
B. He ranked first at his high school in biology.
C. It’s impossible ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for the doctors to repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
D. In spite of-his teacher's criticisms, he kept working hard.
( )5. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Ninety percent of the time things don’t work.
B. Luck favors the prepared mind
C. Life is full of surprises.
D. How to know cells actually work.
B
Mr. Read has a large ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )farm near a hill. He and his wife are busy all the day. They re often tired but they have a lot of expensive things and they live a happy life.
One day thei ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r sows (母猪）had twenty baby pigs. Mrs. Read had to look after them at home. And at that time she had much housework to do. Several weeks later she let the baby pigs come out of the pigsty (猪圈) and look for some food themselves. Her seven-year-old son John came back from school. He was ready to help his mother. The woman was happy and told him to count them and see if they were all there. The boy threw his schoolbag on the table and ran out. About half an hour later the supper was ready, but the boy didn’t come back. The woman had to go to see what was wrong with her son. And she saw her son running after a baby pig.
“What are you running after it for ” she asked. “Are they all right ”
“I counted nineteen，Mu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mmy,” said the boy.“But only the fellow(家伙) is running about so fast that I can’t count it all !”
( )6. Mr. and Mrs. Read are ______.
A. workers B. farmers C. drivers D. doctors
( )7. Mr. and Mrs. Read are tired but _______.

C. they want to leave the farm D. they Have enough food to eat
( )8. John found _______so he was ready to help her.

B. look after the pigs
C. give some food to the pigs

( )10. In fact, _______.

There are several wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read a travel book.
It seems that th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ere are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.
Whatever kind ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for you travel.
( )11. The passage was written to introduce_______.
A. travel maps B. travel books C. travel films D. travel places
( )12. The writer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the first kind of travel books gave his ideas after he _______.
A. traveled B ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ). read books C. a lot of experience D. surfed the Internet
( )13. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d phrase “a cultured person”means a person with ________.
A. a good appearance B. a good education
C. a lot of experience D. a lot of money
( )14. The date of publication must be noticed because ________.
A. the prices of travel books may be different
B. the writers of travel books may be different
C. the information in travel books is always the same
D. the information in travel books is always changing
( )15. Accord ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing to the passage, it is best to read ______ before traveling to a place of interest.
A. the first k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ind of travel books B. the second kind of travel books
C. the third kind ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of travel books D. some travel articles in newspaper

During the years ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of game making, there have been a number of games. Many old games have gone since modern games came out.
Teachers at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a primary school asked their students to write articles about
games they knew and w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ere surprised by the results. Half of the 50 children in
one of the classes wrote about online games.
It is easy to see th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at traditional games like hide-and-seek and jump rope
games are unfamilia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r to m any of today's schoolchildren. They like to play
computer games, espec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ially in the cities, with the rising popularity of TV, the Internet, video and online games.
An educatio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nist said, "Traditional games used to be so popular, but over just a few years, kids have forgotten them. It's sad."
The games th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at many parents once played were generally outdoor activities which were enjoyed by students during breaks or after school. They usually needed several partners and just a little space.
Jump rope games, f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or example, have always been popular in many countries around the world. A kind of jump rope game, played with rubber bands(橡皮筋) which are connected together to make a long rope, is played in many countries.

The reserve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) covers an area of over 4000 square kilometers. It's one of the world's most important wetlands. There're a lot of rare birds there. 40 per cent of the cranes live in Zhalong. That day many students recorded the types of cranes. We learnt a lot of knowledge about birds. And we also understood the importance of protecting wetlands. Now wetlands are becoming smaller and smaller and the birds are in danger. We must do something to protect them.
