I had a great job，and I was happy where I was.But one day，a top administration official called me.And then I went to work for President Barack Obama’s White House as special adviser on green jobs.My dad would have gotten a kick out of that，But I also know that every weekend he would have asked me all the tough questions.“Black faces in high places don’t make nobody free，boy.How many jobs did you get for people this week？Folks need some paychecks around here，son，and they aren’t getting any.And what are you going to do about these banks？”Someday，I will meet my father again.I plan to have some great answers to all of his questions.1．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．The author applied to work for the Obama administration and was accepted.B．The author’s father had great expectations for his son.C．The author didn’t like the green jobs and wanted to give them up.D．The author’s father didn’t think the author was qualified to work for the Obama administration.2．We can infer from the third paragraph that the author’s father________.A．used to be a good friend of Barack ObamaB．was only happy to see his 3-year-old grandson in his last daysC．was fully supportive of Barack ObamaD．was concerned about poor people’s life3．How did the author help urban youth?A．By giving them high education.B．By teaching them the importance of environmental protection.C．By giving them high-paid jobs.D．By involving them in green jobs.4．The purpose of the passage is to________.A．show the author’s determination to live up to his father’s expectationsB．describe his struggle as a black manC．tell us how he became a member of the Obama administrationD．tell us how he started his solar industry5．The underlined part“gotten a kick out of that”can be replaced by________.A．taken pleasure in thatB．suffered a heavy blowC．become very disappointedD．thought poorly of thatⅣ.阅读表达Scientists have developed a new cancer drug.So far，they have tested it only in laboratory animals.The drug is designed to enter and kill cancer cells，but not healthy cells.First，the drug enters the cancer cells and stops their supply of blood.Then it releases poison to destroy the cancer cells.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in Cambridge carried out the study.The results appeared in Nature magazine.A school report called the drug an “anticancer smart bomb”．Ram Sasisekharan is a professor at MIT.He says that his team had to solve three problems.They had to find a way to destroy the blood vessels，then to ____________________of new ones.But they also needed the blood vessels to supply chemicals to destroy the cancer.So，the researchers designed a two-part “nanocell”．The cell is measured in nanometres(毫微米)，or one thousand-millionth of a metre.The scientists say that it was small enough to pass through the blood vessels of the cancer，but it was too big to enter normal blood vessels.The surface of the nanocells also helped them to avoid natural defenses.The scientists designed the cell as a balloon inside a balloon.They filled the outer part with a drug that caused the blood vessels to die.That cut off the blood supply and put the nanocells inside the cancer.Then，the nanocells slowly released drugs to kill the cancer cells.The team says that the treatment killed the cancer and avoided healthy cells better than other treatments.Untreated mice with cancer survived for twenty days.The scientists say that mice with the best current treatments lived for thirty days.In this study，they say that eighty percent of the mice treated with the nanocells lived more than sixty-five days.The scientists say that more studies are needed before the new drug can be tested in humans. 1．What is the best title of the passage？(Please answer within 10 words.)________________________________________________________________________ 2．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?If we want to examine the new drug on humans，we need more studies.________________________________________________________________________ 3．Please fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 10 words.)________________________________________________________________________ 4．Do you think cancer can be cured in the future？Why？(Please answer within 30 words.) ________________________________________________________________________ 5．Translate the underlined sentence in the seventh paragraph into Chinese.________________________________________________________________________参考答案Ⅰ.1．解析：make it为固定短语，意为“做到”。
