The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.
“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says.
One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.
Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit.
No problem, he said.
Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.
A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.
There is something splendidly unreasonable about V alencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating. Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts(成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways, it counts. 24．What made Valencia different from his classmates?
A．He was respectful to the teacher.
B．He activated the class atmosphere.
C．He was eager to learn despite his age.
D．He often put forward different opinions.
25．According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes?
A．He treasured the chance of learning.
B．He wished to show his determination.
C．He needed the credits to further his study.
D．He desired to have an A on his transcripts.
26．Which of the following best describes Valencia?
A．Modest and independent.B．Energetic and generous.
C．Enthusiastic and motivated.D．Considerate and intelligent.
27．What can we learn from the passage?
A．No pains, no gains.B．It is never too old to learn.
C．Strike the iron while it is hot.D．Where there is life, there is hope.
Scientists have shown how plants can protect themselves against genetic (基因的) damage caused by environmental stresses. The growing tips of plant roots and shoots have an in-built mechanism (机制) that spells cell death if DNA damage is detected, avoiding passing on faulty DNA．
Plants have small populations of stem cells (干细胞) at the tips of their roots and shoots, which enable them to continuously grow and produce new tissues throughout their lifetime. These stem cells serve as ancestors for plant tissues and organs. However, any genetic faults present in the stem cells will continue to exist and be passed on permanently throughout the plant’s life, which could last thousands of years.
Given the critical role of stem cells and their exposure to potentially dangerous environments at the growing tips of roots and shoots, safeguards are necessary to prevent stem cell faults from becoming fixed. Researchers Nick Fulcher and Robert Sablowski, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, aimed to uncover these protective mechanisms. Through experiments involving X-rays and chemicals, they discovered that stem cells were more sensitive to DNA damage compared to other cells.
When DNA damage occurs, the cells have the capacity to detect it and cause programmed cells to die, preventing the propagation of the damaged genetic code to the rest of the plant tissues. This process has similarities to the safeguard mechanism found in animal cells, which has been broadly studied due to its relevance in preventing cancer.
The identification of a similar protective system in plants is of great interest in the field of plant development. It also helps scientists develop plants that can better handle environmental stress. So knowledge of how plants deal with these stresses is of fundamental significance to agricultural science’s response to climate change.
28．What is the function of the in-built mechanism in plants?
A．To produce more roots and shoots.B．To increase the overall lifetime of the plant.
C．To enhance plant growth and nutrient intake.D．To stop genetic faults in stem cells passing on.
29．What can we know about stem cells in plants according to the text?
A．They are relatively abundant in quantity.B．They are resistant to environmental stresses.
C．They make quick response to DNA damage.D．They have the ability to repair damaged DNA．
30．What does the underlined word “propagation” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Spread.B．Change.C．Existence.D．Self-repair. 31．What does the last paragraph focus on?
A．The way of dealing with climate change on the earth.
B．The significance of identifying the protective system in plants.
C．The method of ensuring plant survival under environmental stress.
D．The urgency of developing plants that can handle environmental stress.
When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese.” But this kind of reply misses the point.
More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that their pronunciations are different from our own. But this understanding of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice (偏见). Funnily enough, in the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that decide our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!
Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to stop for a while doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?
We need to move beyond a narrow understanding of accents and dialects – for the good of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights (深刻见解) into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of who they are.
Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.
32．What does the author think of some friends’ reply in paragraph 1?
A．It’s impolite and wrong.B．It shows their language levels.
C．It reflects their self-confidence.D．It misses the real meaning of accents. 33．Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English?
A．To prove dialects are acceptable.B．To show various types of English.
C．To correct a grammatical mistake.D．To encourage more changes to languages. 34．What does the author mostly want us to do in the last paragraph?
A．To learn to speak with our local dialects.
B．To treasure the value of accents and dialects.
C．To have friends with different accents and dialects.
D．To have a better understanding of people’s experiences.
35．What can be a suitable title for this passage?
A．Everyone Has an Accent B．Standard English Is at Risk
C．Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding D．Accents Tell Everything about You
Why is Chinese a Good Language to Learn
If there’s one language in the world that’s worth learning, it’s the Chinese language. You must be wondering why. 36
Gain the job opportunities. With the steady development for decades, China has become the second largest economic power in the world while keeping closely connected with the west.
37 It helps a lot if you’re looking to work in a career that involves dealing with Chinese buyers or suppliers.
Know about the history and culture. 38 In fact, China has had a significant say in the history of the world. It’s agreed that four great inventions — namely paper-making, printing, gunpowder and the compass — made their way from China to Europe via the famous Silk Road. To really understand the contribution of this part of the world and have a deep insight into the history of Asia, speaking the language can be beneficial.
39 Chinese literature, both ancient and modern, comes from an entirely different
cultural background than literature written in the West. To really appreciate it, however, you have to read it in the original language. Many works of Chinese literature haven’t been translated into English, so you have no choice but to enjoy them as they stand. If you want to understand modern China, learning the Chinese language is vital.
Enjoy the food. In Britain, we’re familiar with Chinese food — or at least, a Westernized version of it. By learning the Chinese language, you’ll start to understand exactly what all of those words on the menu mean. In time, you might feel more comfortable ordering something that’s a little bit less familiar. 40
A．Translate the literature.
B．Appreciate the literature.
C．Here come a few good reasons to learn the language.
D．Therefore, the ability to speak Chinese language is pretty valuable.
E．China is home to the history and culture that runs for thousands of years.
F．You might even develop an appreciation for Chinese cuisine for its varieties.
G．Chinese culture has had a great influence on the world for thousands of years.
