On Tuesday 29 MayBBarbara McCintock was one of the most import scientists of the twentieth century.She made important discoveries about genes(基因) and chromosomes (染色体).Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford,Connecticut.Her family moved to Brooklyn area of new York City in 1908.Barbara was an active child with interests in sports and music. She also developed an interest in science.She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics.Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a master‘s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree.McCintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s were not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the great economic Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand.An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. It is a research center on Long Island, near New York City. McClintock started in a temporary (临时的) job with the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent (永久的) position with the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid.By the 1970s, her discoveries had had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize.4. When did McClintock receive a doctorate degree?A. In 1921.B. In 1923.C. In 1925.D. In 1927.5. During the great economic Depression in the US,_________.A. young scientists had trouble finding a jobB. female geneticists were not wanted at allC. male geneticists were in great demandD. male scientists were out of job6.

The text is likely to appear in_______A. a biographyB. a history paperC. a newspaperD. a philosophy textbookCMore students than ever before are taking a gap year（间隔年）before going to university．It used to be the"year off"between school and university.The gap-year phenomenon originated（起源)with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year．This year,25,310students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year,according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service（UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year.Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education."Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course.Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,"he said．But not everyone is happy. Owain James,the president of the National Union of Students （NUS),argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship-young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education．"New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to￡15，000 in debt．It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,"he said．8．What do we learn about the gap year from the text？___A．It is flexible in length. B．It is a time for relaxation.C．It is required by universities. D．It is increasingly popular.9．According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year___．A．are better prepared for college studiesB．know a lot more about their future jobsC．are more likely to leave university in debtD．have a better chance to enter top universities10．How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon？A．He's puzzled. B．He's worried.C．He's surprised. D．He's annoyed.11．What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics？A．Earn money for their education.B．Make plans for the new term.C．Attend additional courses.D．Prepare for their graduate studies.DFrom the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have been putting great effort into space research. And so far, we have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.The international space station (ISS) is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seem to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone, and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone’s effort and will benefit everyone.Led by the U.S. and Russia, the ISS is a joint project between six space agencies involving 16 countries. Called the greatest achievement in human cooperation, the ISS has come to the end of a ten-year’s hard work in construction. China has appl ied for participation in (taking part in) the project many times. Unfortunately all the applications were rejected, which drove China onto thepath of independent development. As the Long March Ⅱ-F/T1 carrier rocket blasted off (leave the ground) and successfully carried the Tiangong-1 into space on September 29, 2011, China takes a big step toward its Space Station Era.Some West media suggested that the successful launch of Tiangong-1 would disturb the balance of global space power, raising concerns ab out “China threat”. China’s space project is not designed for military purpose but for developing space technology to explore space resources and make use of them for mankind’s well-being.12. From Paragraph 2 we learn that ________.A．the necessity of building the international space station is not realized nowB．many experiments have been done in the international space stationC．the international space station is necessary for people to explore space moreD．people have traveled to Mars from the international space station13. Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries’ cooperation in building the international space station?A．That it requires a lot of money. B．That it needs everyone’s effort. C．That it will benefit every participating country. D．That it is too far away from the earth. 14. The underlined word “aggregated” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”．A．united B．scolded C．allowed D．forbade15. China wants to build its space station in order to __________.A．break the balance of global space powerB．show that China can build space station aloneC．raise international concerns about “China threat”D．make use of space peacefully for mankind’s well-being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。
