三、 阅读理解。
A
Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out .
Sir John Gurdon 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 scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance (坚持不懈)can lead.
At the age of 15 in 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 teacher’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 is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work,” Gurdon said.
In 1962, Gurdon 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 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 the 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?

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—c—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

D. How to know cells actually work.
B
I teach economics in a university three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to live that day. I said, ‘I choose to be cheerful.’ ‘Let me give you an example,’ I continued. “Besides teaching here, I also teach at a college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car broke down. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t work. So I put my flashes (闪光灯) on, took my books, and walked down the road to the college. As soon as I got there, I called AAA (汽车协会) and asked for a tow truck (拖车) to meet me at my car after class. The secretary there asked me what had happened. “This is my lucky day,’ I replied, smiling.
‘Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day? What do you mean?’ he asked in surprise.
‘My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t,’ I replied. ‘Instead, it broke down at the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to ask for the tow truck to meet me after class! If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged (安排) in a better way.’
I ended my story. Although the early hour, no one in my class seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them.
( )6. In the young man’s eyes, the writer was _____.
A. a happy person B. a lucky man C. a rich man D. a good driver
( )7. What did the writer do when his car broke down that day?
A. He complained for a long time. B. He called AAA for help at once.
C. He waited there for someone’s help. D. He walked to his workplace.
( )8. What did the writer mean by saying “This is my lucky day”?
A. He was just a little bit late for work that day.
B. There were no big problems with his car.
C. Everything still went well although his car is broken.
D. It was great that his car died.
( )9. What can we learn from the story?
A. It’s important to keep your car in good condition.
B. We should learn to be positive in times of trouble.
C. Teachers need special skills to give good lessons.
D. Personal experiences can touch a person’s heart.
C
Life is a series of good and bad things, big and small. If I remember all the bad things right from my childhood, wouldn’t it be silly? Such as, one of my parents who hit me when I was young, the pre-school kid who wouldn’t share her red ink with me, the third-grader who would keep pulling my hair, or the stranger at the bus stop who wouldn’t let me get on the bus first …It’s terrible to remember all those unwanted memories. Thank God for our fading (衰退的) memories.
If we always remember everything that we've ever read or experienced, we would not only be walking encyclopedias (百科全书), but also be the unhappiest humans on the earth, because we would also remember the moments that someone shouted at us or hit us deeply. Imagine, what would happen to us if we carry this huge load of feelings in our body bags??With the weight that we carry around, we would be pulled down into the deep hole of negative (消极的) thought and couldn't go out. If we learn to let go of all the negative thoughts or the unwanted memories, life would be much more enjoyable.
Life is like an apple. It offers us the choice of the good part and the core (核) that we can't eat. Have we worried about throwing away the core, even for a moment??Of course NO. Then, why do we hold on to all those unpleasant memories and not to sweep them away? Don't you want to eat the juicy and tasty part? Will you eat the hard core instead?
It's up to you children to choose for yourself. There's no doubt that you should choose to let go of the core or enjoy the flesh of the apple of life to the fullest.
10. The passage is the most likely to be written to _________.
A. kids??? ???????????????????? B. adults? ???????????????????? C. scientists??? ????????????? D. teachers
11. In the writer's opinion, if one always remembers everything, he would _________.
A. be the cleverest person????? ??????????????????????????? B. have an enjoyable life
C. improve his memory ?????????????????????????????????? D. be the unhappiest person
12. From Paragraph 3, the writer wants to tell us that__________.
A. there are only bad thoughts in our life
B. it is impossible for you to choose your life
C. life should be like the juicy and tasty part of an apple
D. our memories dying away is really a bad thing
13. The best title for passage would be “_______”.
A. Remember only good things???? ???????????????????? B. Throw away apple cores
C. Learn to forget our memories?? ???????????????????? D. Let all the memories go
四、任务型阅读
A
language professor was explaining to her class that French nouns are grammatically named as male(男) or female(女). “Pencil, in French, is male; House, in French, is female.”
One puzzled student raised his hand and asked, “What gender(性别) is a computer?”
The teacher did not know, and the word wasn’t in her French dictionary. So for fun she divided the class into two groups and asked them to decide whether a computer should be a male or female noun.
Both groups were asked to give four reasons for their decisions.
The men’s group decided that computers should surely be of the female gender because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
??? 2.The native language which they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible(无法理解) to everyone else.
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible later retrieval(检索).
4. As soon as you buy one, you’ll find yourself spending half of your salary( 薪水) on accessories(零配件) for it.
The women’s group, however, thought that computers should be male because:
1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but they are still stupid.
3. They may help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.
4. As soon as you buy one, you’ll find that if you had waited a little longer, you could have a better model.

I was very sleepy in the morning, so I didn’t go running as usual. At nine o’clock, Tom called me to join him in a game of basketball. He said Jack and some other boys would also be there too. I had finished my homework and had nothing else to do, so I agreed. Tom told me to go to the basketball club at ten o’clock.
On the way there, I bought a hamburger. When I reached the basketball club, I saw Tom and Jack fighting. Later on, I learned that they were fighting over who should start throwing the ball. I shouted to them to stop but they would not listen. Luckily two men came to separate(使…分开) the boys till they calmed down.
Then I advised that we go to the coffee shop for a drink. At the coffee shop, I brought out my hamburger and it was good to see Tom and Jack sharing the hamburger and laughing once again.

Protect Environment and love animals
Good morning, everyone! Today I am very happy to e here to give a report about protecting environment and loving animals.
All the living things are the host of the earth. We share the same home with them.
However, our environment is becoming worse and worse. People cut down trees and forests, so many animals have nowhere to live. And we make more space for farms and buildings, many wild animals lose their living areas. Some hunters hunt animals for money, then many wild animals died because of this.
Now, the government takes actions to protect environment and wild animals. And we also should make laws to protect them.
As students, we should try our best to do something to protect them, such as writing to newspapers or putting something on the Internet to let more people know about it.
If we do something to protect them, we will have a better world. If we don’t do anything, perhaps one day we will leave our home-Earth.

I teach economics in a university three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to live that day. I said, ‘I choose to be cheerful.’ ‘Let me give you an example,’ I continued. “Besides teaching here, I also teach at a college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car broke down. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t work. So I put my flashes (闪光灯) on, took my books, and walked down the road to the college. As soon as I got there, I called AAA (汽车协会) and asked for a tow truck (拖车) to meet me at my car after class. The secretary there asked me what had happened. “This is my lucky day,’ I replied, smiling.
‘Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day? What do you mean?’ he asked in surprise.
‘My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t,’ I replied. ‘Instead, it broke down at the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to ask for the tow truck to meet me after class! If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged (安排) in a better way.’
I ended my story. Although the early hour, no one in my class seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them.
( )6. In the young man’s eyes, the writer was _____.
A. a happy person B. a lucky man C. a rich man D. a good driver
( )7. What did the writer do when his car broke down that day?
A. He complained for a long time. B. He called AAA for help at once.
C. He waited there for someone’s help. D. He walked to his workplace.
( )8. What did the writer mean by saying “This is my lucky day”?
A. He was just a little bit late for work that day.
B. There were no big problems with his car.
C. Everything still went well although his car is broken.
D. It was great that his car died.
( )9. What can we learn from the story?
A. It’s important to keep your car in good condition.
B. We should learn to be positive in times of trouble.
C. Teachers need special skills to give good lessons.
D. Personal experiences can touch a person’s heart.

Life is a series of good and bad things, big and small. If I remember all the bad things right from my childhood, wouldn’t it be silly? Such as, one of my parents who hit me when I was young, the pre-school kid who wouldn’t share her red ink with me, the third-grader who would keep pulling my hair, or the stranger at the bus stop who wouldn’t let me get on the bus first …It’s terrible to remember all those unwanted memories. Thank God for our fading (衰退的) memories.
If we always remember everything that we've ever read or experienced, we would not only be walking encyclopedias (百科全书), but also be the unhappiest humans on the earth, because we would also remember the moments that someone shouted at us or hit us deeply. Imagine, what would happen to us if we carry this huge load of feelings in our body bags??With the weight that we carry around, we would be pulled down into the deep hole of negative (消极的) thought and couldn't go out. If we learn to let go of all the negative thoughts or the unwanted memories, life would be much more enjoyable.
Life is like an apple. It offers us the choice of the good part and the core (核) that we can't eat. Have we worried about throwing away the core, even for a moment??Of course NO. Then, why do we hold on to all those unpleasant memories and not to sweep them away? Don't you want to eat the juicy and tasty part? Will you eat the hard core instead?
It's up to you children to choose for yourself. There's no doubt that you should choose to let go of the core or enjoy the flesh of the apple of life to the fullest.
10. The passage is the most likely to be written to _________.
A. kids??? ???????????????????? B. adults? ???????????????????? C. scientists??? ????????????? D. teachers
11. In the writer's opinion, if one always remembers everything, he would _________.
A. be the cleverest person????? ??????????????????????????? B. have an enjoyable life

12. From Paragraph 3, the writer wants to tell us that__________.
A. there are only bad thoughts in our life
B. it is impossible for you to choose your life
C. life should be like the juicy and tasty part of an apple
D. our memories dying away is really a bad thing
13. The best title for passage would be “_______”.
A. Remember only good things???? ???????????????????? B. Throw away apple cores

language professor was explaining to her class that French nouns are grammatically named as male(男) or female(女). “Pencil, in French, is male; House, in French, is female.”
One puzzled student raised his hand and asked, “What gender(性别) is a computer?”
The teacher did not know, and the word wasn’t in her French dictionary. So for fun she divided the class into two groups and asked them to decide whether a computer should be a male or female noun.
Both groups were asked to give four reasons for their decisions.
The men’s group decided that computers should surely be of the female gender because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
??? 2.The native language which they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible(无法理解) to everyone else.
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible later retrieval(检索).
4. As soon as you buy one, you’ll find yourself spending half of your salary( 薪水) on accessories(零配件) for it.
The women’s group, however, thought that computers should be male because:
1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but they are still stupid.
3. They may help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.
4. As soon as you buy one, you’ll find that if you had waited a little longer, you could have a better model.

On the way there, I bought a hamburger. When I reached the basketball club, I saw Tom and Jack fighting. Later on, I learned that they were fighting over who should start throwing the ball.

Protect Environment and love animals
Good morning, everyone! Today I am very happy to e here to give a report about protecting environment and loving animals.
All the living things are the host of the earth. We share the same home with them.
However, our environment is becoming worse and worse. People cut down trees and forests, so many animals have nowhere to live. And we make more space for farms and buildings, many wild animals lose their living areas. Some hunters hunt animals for money, then many wild animals died because of this.
Now, the government takes actions to protect environment and wild animals. And we also should make laws to protect them.
As students, we should try our best to do something to protect them, such as writing to newspapers or putting something on the Internet to let more people know about it.
If we do something to protect them, we will have a better world. If we don’t do anything, perhaps one day we will leave our home-Earth.
