A seemingly small gesture at a restaurant outside Houston that wasn’t part of the job description for a Waffle House waitress has now had a big effect on her life.
It happened last weekend, when 18 -year-old Evoni Williams was serving an elderly man breakfast. He needed help. So Williams leaned over the counter with a fork and a knife and cut up his ham for him. It might have ended there, but a customer named Laura Wolf was struck enough to take a picture and post it online.
“I didn’t know the photo was taken until a couple of hours later,” Williams told The Houston Chronicle. “When I saw it, it’s just something I would Ho for anybody.
I was so busy in here, and I actually took the time to stop and hear what he had to say inste ad of walking past him.”
It apparently meant something to others too. As of Sunday, more than 130,000 people had reacted to the post and nearly 7,000 have shared it. But the story has extended beyond the Internet. Williams, a reoont Texas City High School graduate, was honored at a ceremony Thursday with a $ 16,000 scholarship to Texas Southern University. Williams has reportedly been working full-time at the Waffle House to earn money toward school. Texas Southern University has assigned a counselor to help her begin her degree and she is planning to study business management.
Media at the local, national and international level have all picked up on the story. It is a moment among several in recent years, captured in a picture, put online, and capturing the attention of the Internet: like a New York City police officer giving a homeless man a pair of boots, or a restaurant goer whose wife died of cancer anonymously（匿名地）paying for the meal of another cancer patient.
24. Why did Laura Wolf take the photo and post it online?
A. She was really into recording some small gestures.
B. She wanted to draw attention to the restaurant.
C. She was touched by the considerate waitress.
D. She got paid by the restaurant to do so.
25 What words can be used to best describe Evoni Williams?
A. Independent and caring.
B. Patient and curious.
C. Kind and generous.
D. Energetic and lucky.
26. Why is a New York City police officer mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To prove the power of the media.
B. To advocate helping those in need.
C. To show more people tend to use the Internet.
D. To argue the Internet is the center of attention.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Wide web, colorful life
B. Small gesture, big effect
C. Little effort, big reward
D. Young mind, great influence
C
Annette Larkins is an incredible woman who looks like a healthy 40-year-old, although she just turned 70. She follows a special raw diet and only drinks rainwater.
She looks so young that people mistake her to be the daughter, when she’s out with her husband of 54 years, but I suppose he isn’t complaining.
Mrs. Larkins says the secret to her beauty lies in her special diet, consisting of organic vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts grown in her own garden; she calls it the “fountain of youth”. The woman doesn’t touch anything that has been cooked.
And another strange thing she does is to collect rainwater, to keep her garden blossoming, but also to drink. But the residents of Miami-Dade County, Florida, didn’t always have such a healthy lifestyle. In fact, she consumed meat regularly, as her husband used to own a meat factory way back in the 1960s. It was then that she decided to change her eating habits forever. And what a great decision that was.
I mean, just look at her!
When she started off, Mrs. Larkins was just looking for a few health benefits and never anticipated that she would look like a 40-year-old at the age of 70. Over the 27 years that she has been eating raw, Mrs. Larkins has written two booklets railed
Journey to Health and also produced a DVD containing all her healthy secrets.
Her husband, Mr. Larkins, wishes he had followed her example, because now he looks much, much older and also suffers from diabetes（糖尿病） and high blood pressure. He takes prescription medicine every day, but Annette doesn’t even take an aspirin.
28. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The organic food.
B. Her beauty.
C. Specially cooked food.
D. Her raw diet.
29. What kind of person does the author think Mrs. Larkins is?
A. Strong-willed.
B. Honest.
C. Modest.
D.
Open-minded.
30. What did the woman do with her healthy secrets?
A. She sold them to the local people.
B. She abandoned them at the age of 70.
C. She publicized them in various ways.
D. She improved them with her husband’s help.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards Mrs. Larkins’s lifestyle?
A. Disapproving.
B. Supportive.
C. Sympathetic.
D. Skeptical.
D
New research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor.
A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation（突变）which took place 6,000- 10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today.
“Originally, we all had brown eyes,’’ said Professor Hans Eiberg. “But a genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene（基因）in our body resulted in the creation of a switch, which literally turned off the ability to produce brown eyes.” The OCA2 gene codes for the so-called P protein, which is involved in the production of melanin （黑色素）. It gives colour to our hair, eyes and skin.
The switch, which is located in the gene neighboring to OCA2, does not, however, turn off the gene entirely, but rather limits its action to reducing the production
of melanin in the eyeball－effectively turning brown eyes to blue. The effect of the switch on OCA2 is very specific therefore. If the OCA2 gene had been completely destroyed or turned off, human beings would be without melanin in their hair, eyes or skin colour.
Variation in the colour of the eyes from brown to green can all be explained by the amount of melanin in the eyeball, but blue-eyed individuals only have a small degree of variation in the amount of melanin in their eyes. “F rom this we can conclude that all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor,” says Professor Eiberg. “They have all inherited（继承）the same switch at exactly the same spot in their DNA.” Brown-eyed individuals, by contrast, have considerable individual variation in the area of their DNA that controls melanin production.
The mutation of brown eyes to blue represents, neither a positive nor a negative mutation. It is one of several mutations such as hair colour, baldness, and beauty spots, which neither increases nor reduces a human’s chance of survival. As Professor Eiberg says, “it simply shows that nature is constantly affecting the human gene and trying out different changes as it does so.”
32. What is the finding of Professor Hans Eiberg’s team?
A. The eye color can be changed by adjusting genes today.
B. Blue-eyed people have survived due to their special genes.
C. The eye color can help discover where peopled ancestors were.
D. A genetic mutation leads to the change of people’s eye color.
33. What can we learn about “the switch” from Paragraph 3?
A. It produces melanin directly.
B. It can be limited by other genes.
C. It helps produce less melanin.
D. It helps OCA2 function in our body.
34. Why can we conclude all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor?
A. They have almost the same gene.
B. They have more variation in gene.
C. They have more melanin in their eyes.
D. They have a small degree of variation.
35. What does the last paragraph want to tell us?
A. Nature affects our genes.
B. Only the fittest can survive.
C. We are decided by our genes.
D. Some genetic mutations are pointless.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
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。

Most strangers aren’t dangerous and wouldn’t do anything to hurt kids. Unfortunately, though, some strangers can be dangerous, and it’s impossible to tell who’s OK and who’s not. A dangerous person doesn’t necessarily look scary or mean.
36
Make a lot of noise if you’re scared. If a stranger approaches you and follows you when you try to walk away, yell for help as you run away. 37 You can shout things like, “Help! I don’t know you!” or “Help! This isn’t my dad!” People in the area will hear what’s g oing on and help you.
Stay away from strangers’ cars. If a stranger pulls up in a car and offers you a ride, don’t get in. You probably know that rule, right? 38 It’s also important to avoid a stranger’s car completely. If a stranger asks you to look in the car, don’t do it. Don’t agree to come closer to see a pet or to get a toy tha t’s offered.
39 It’s nice to help people. But remember: Strangers should ask adults, not kids, for help. If a stranger approaches you and asks you for help－such as with giving directions , finding lost money, or searching for a runaway dog－don’t help. Don’t even give an answer. Might away, you should walk the other way. If you're not near a safe spot, try any store or restaurant.
Make your whereabouts known. 40 That means telling your mom or dad, grandmother, or whoever is keeping an eye on you where you are and when you’ll be coming home.
A. But that’s not all of it.
B. Let grown-ups help strangers.
C. Give a hand to those who need help on the street.
D. That’s why it’s imp ortant to follow safety rules all the time.
E. That way, you’ll know where they are m case you ever need one.
F. The adult who’s taking care of you needs to know where you are at all times,
G. If a stranger ever tries to grab you, yell as loudly as you can and try to get away.
