The trees in the school yard would be in full leaf again and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.“Get that all swept up！” the headmaster would tell us. “I want the whole place cleaned up, at once！” There was enough work there, to last over a week. Especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fin gers, and our nails. “Now see that it's done properly, and be quick about it，” the headmaster would say to the older pupils, “or you'll have to answer for it！”So at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops. If the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to find it simpler to beat us with branches pulled from the trees. In order to avoid these blows(殴打), we used to bribe(贿赂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meals. And if we happened to have any money on us, the coins changed hands at once. If we did not do this, if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse, the blows were redoubled. They hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realized that we were being whipped(抽打) not so much to make us work harder, but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服从) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.Occasionally one of us, worn out by such calculated cruelty, would have the courage to complain to the headmaster. He would of course be very angry, but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very small—nothing compared to what they had done to us. And the fact is that however much we complained, our situation did not improve in the slightest. Perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on, but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; I don't know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but I can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such beatings were completely foreign to our nature.26．The statement “my hands and my fingers still remember” (Para.1) means that________．A．the author's hands were severely injured in the cleaning upB．the author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning upC．the author was bullied by the big boys in the cleaning upD．the author's hands were his only tool for the cleaning up27．The headmaster would tell the students to clean up the school yard at the beginning of the term because________．A．he was too lazyB．there were many fallen leaves on the groundC．the school yard was covered with mudD．the students didn't finish their homework28．The headmaster asked the older boys to________．A．beat those who worked slowlyB．treat the small boys as peanutsC．take charge of the process of the cleani ng upD．do the cleaning up all by themselves29．According to Para. 3, if the author had any money on him, he most probably________．A．gave it to the big boys so as to please themB．gave it as a bribe to the headmasterC．spent it all on his midday mealD．spent it buying midday meals for the big boys30．When receiving complaints, the head master would deal with the big boys by means of ________．A．slight punishment B．harsh criticismC．complete indifference D．good beatingsCMore than four decades ago British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human life growing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab. Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine.The prize for Dr. Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008, includes a £900,000 check. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as a “milestone in modern medicine”.With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester-born p hysiologist developed IVF - leading to the birth of the world’s first test tube baby. Dr. Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertility treatment and given hope to millions of couples.It was a scientific breakthrough that transformed the lives of millions of couples. They said: “His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes human unable to have a baby. This disease has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.”Louise Brown, the world’s first test tube baby, made international headlines when she was born in Oldham, Manchester, in 1978 to parents Lesley and John who had been fruitlessly trying for a baby since 1969.IVF-----in-vitro fertilization is the process whereby egg cells are fertilized outside the body before being implanted in the womb. After a cycle of IVF, the probability of a couple with infertility problems having a baby is one in five—the same as healthy couples who conceive naturally.Professor Edwards, who has five daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955. He once said: “The most important thing in life is having a child. Nothing is more special than a child.” With the help of fellow scientistPatrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridge shire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment.But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who said it was “unethical and immoral”.Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was “long overdue”. He said: “We couldn’t understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted - this is the cherry on the cake for him.”Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was “thrilled and delighted”.31. What is Robert E dwards’ contribution to science?A. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life.B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growingC. Helping couples with infertility to have tube babies.D. Challenging a disease which stops human having a baby.32. What does the underlined word “afflicting”(Paragraph 4)most probably refer to?A.

Because the birthrate around the world was unexpectedly low then.C. Because a special child did make a difference to an ordinary family.D. Because his fellow scientist wanted to give hope to the unlucky couples.34. It can be inferred from Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 that ___________.A. Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthrough.B. different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards’ achievement.C. some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awarded.D. the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral.35.
