Reading Comprehension(60 points)Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A ,B ,C andD. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet.Passage oneWhat do you use to get around town? A cat? A bike? Your feet? Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It is an electric vehicle thatconsists of a platform between two wheels, with a pole that connects the platformto the handlebars. To ride it, you step up onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster, and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip (扭转把手) on theleft handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the seed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With never models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope (陀螺仪) detects yourmovements and prevents the machine form falling over. The Segway has a《英语》第3页共10页maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that, you need to plug it inand recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoywalks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as analternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take thedog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers tomove quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They are also becoming acommon sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism,particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outsidea cafe for a while and there is a good chance you will see a group of touristspassing on Segways.() 36.What is the Segway according to this passage?A. A pole that connects two handlebars.B. An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.C. A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D. A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.() 37. How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A. Press the left barB. Adjust the twist gripC. Lean to the leftD.Control the gyroscope() 38.How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A. Less than 19 kmB. About 19 kmC. More than 38 kmD. About 38 km() 39.The last paragraph focuses on ____?A. When a Segway is usefulB. Where to find a SegwayC. How to control a SegwayD. What a Segway is likePassage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all.You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or fromthe traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazingThese types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals — and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snowslide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力 ) and endurance.《英语》第4页共10页A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during"down"time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty.Trainingis not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working threeto four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance,includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent ( 气味 ) andthen follow t he scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped undercollapsed buildings and snow slide.() 40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A. they are braveB. they are loyalC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight() 41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean?A.

Sound effects are of three kinds: real, imitated and recorded .Real sounds are those of doorbells, telephone bells, and other small objectseasy to keep in a studio . But the sound man must imitate many sounds . For baconfryin9 ,he crumples cellophanepaper.A long sheet of metal hanging in a doorway makes thunder?He taps one rubbersink plunger and then another on a table to imitate a horse walking on pavement . For a horse galloping along a gravel road ,the sound man can use thetwo halves of a coconut,pounding each in turn very fast on the table.Recorded sound effects are used for noises he cannot himself produce offstage .He pays records for such sounds as a rooster crowing , a train leaving a station , and a baby crying .The sound man is an important part of any television production .( )44.

Recorded sound effects are used for a_______?A. train leaving a stationB. baby cryingC. rooster crowingD. all of the abovePassage FourEqual pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel thatare looked down upon by society. They say it is for women to be paid less than menfor the same work. People who hold the opposite opinion (mainly men ) have ananswer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women ; a marriedman is expected to earn money to support his family and to make the importantdecision ,and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some peoplewho hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working atall. When wives go out to work , they say, the home and children are given noattention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full time job , theywill be unable to do the things. Women are best at making a comfortable home andbringing up children. They will have to giveup their present position in society.This is exactly what they want to give up, the women who disagree say. They want toescapefrom the limited place which society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose between ajob and home life , or mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equalopportunities.These women have expressed their opinions forcefully busing the famous saying ,“ Al menare created equal. ”They point out that the meaning of this sentence is “ allhuman being arecreated equal. ”( )48. The women use the phrase “ equal pay for equal work d emand”tothat _____.A. woman's work shouldn't be harder than men'sB. men should be paid less than womenC. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same workD. people doing harder work should earn more( )49.What exactly do the women who disagree want to give up ?A.

The women use the saying “ all men created equal that ”. to showA. the position of women has changed a little in modern timeB. men and women had equal power in early American societyC. men's right are always considered more important than women'sD. in American society men and women should in modern time( )52.The women who disagree say that _______.A. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life the liveB. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homesC. if women are given equal pay , their opportunities will be greatD. women need opportunities to go out of the house more oftenPassage FiveAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution ofhigher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or auniversity. Theseinstitutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) orBachelor Science(B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-yearprogram) for oneto two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore ( 二年级生 ) or junior ( 三年级生 ). It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schoolsrequir e strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well asspecificcollege prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges andfamous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, byearning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degreesin grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require suchadvanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Somehave full-timejobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years tocomplete a four-yearprogram because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student ’ s time, moststill enjsocial activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular.However, gatheringtogether for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university isprobably the most popularactivity.( )53. College education is _______ in America.A. very rareB. quite commonC. somethingdifficult D. almost impossible《英语》第7页共10页( )54.

A(2016 课标全国Ⅰ )You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Ofthe outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860 —1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating sheltersand promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the firstAmerican woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907—1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement migh t not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmfuleffects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor(1930—present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished thir d in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona statesenator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks(1913 —2005)On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on abus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off theMontgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “ The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.21.What is Jane Addams noted for in history?A.Her social work.B.Her teaching skills.C.Her efforts to win a prize.D.Her community background.22.What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?A.Her lack of proper training in law.B.Her little work experience in court.C.The discrimination against women.D.The poor financial conditions.23.Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U.S.?A.Jane Addams.B.Rachel Carson.C.Sandra Day O ’Connor.D.Rosa Parks.24.What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A.They are highly educated.B.They are truly creative.C.They are pioneers.D.They are peace-lovers.B(2016 课标全国Ⅰ ,C)I am Peter Hodes,a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips—of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞) in my little box because I ’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cellsare harvested from a donor(捐献者)to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’vegot 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up thestem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:“ Well,I ’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please, please, you’ve got to get me back to t he United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me,re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originallyscheduled.For this courier job,you ’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.25.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“ courier”in Paragraph 1?A.providerB.delivery manC.collectorD.medical doctor26.Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A.He cannot stay away from his job too long.B.The donor can only wait for that long.C.The operation needs that much time.D.The ice won ’t last any longer.27.Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A.To London.B.To Newark.C.To Providence.D.To Washington.C(2018 课标全国Ⅱ ,D)We’ve all been there:in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with theuncomfortable silence.What’s the problem?It ’s possible that we all have compromised conversationalintelligence. It ’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it ’s awkward and challenging, or we think it ’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it ’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren ’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease( 润滑剂 )for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “ Almost every great love story and each big business dealbegins with small talk, ” he explains. “ The key to successful small talk is learning how toconnect with others, not just communicate with them. ”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction( 互动 )with its waiter;the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shopexperience. “It ’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband, ”says Dunn. “ But interactions with peripheral( 边缘的 )members of our social network matter forour well-being also. ”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater senseof belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk.“ Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.28.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.Addiction to smartphones.B.Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C.Absence of communication between strangers.D.Impatience with slow service.29.What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A.Showing good manners.B.Relating to other people.C.Focusing on a topic.D.Making business deals.30.What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A.It improves family relationships.B.It raises people’s confidence.C.It matters as much as a formal talk.D.It makes people feel good.31.What is the best title for the text?A.Conversation CountsB.Ways of Making Small TalkC.Benefits of Small TalkD.Uncomfortable SilenceD(2017 课标全国Ⅰ ,D)A build-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking waterin areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S.Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carrythe necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural subs titutes. The only components required, though, are a 5'× 5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic,six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup—to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet acrossand three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’sproductivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place sothat one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up—and out—the side of the hole.Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirtand weighting the sheet’s center dow n with a rock.

Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C andD. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet.Passage oneWhat do you use to get around town? A cat? A bike? Your feet? Perhaps you should try aSegway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It is an electric vehicle that consists of a platformbetween two wheels, with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it, you stepup onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster,and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip(扭转把手)on the left handlebar. Thisvaries the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the seed of the left wheel would turn theSegway to the left. With never models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope(陀螺仪)detects your movements and prevents the machine form falling over. The Segway has amaximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that, you need to plug it inand recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to thegolf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They are also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outside a cafe for a while and there is a good chance you will see a group of tourists passing on Segways.()36.What is the Segway according to this passage?A. A pole that connects two handlebars.B. An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.C. A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D. A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.()37. How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A. Press the left barB. Adjust the twist gripC. Lean to the leftD.Control the gyroscope()38.How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A. Less than 19 kmB. About 19 kmC. More than 38 kmD. About 38 km()39.The last paragraph focuses on ____?A. When a Segway is usefulB. Where to find a SegwayC. How to control a SegwayD. What a Segway is likePassage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down"time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Trainingis not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working threeto four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.()40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A. they are braveB. they are loyalC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight()41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Courageous.B. Slow.C. Energetic.D. Cowardly.()42. Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A. Extraordinary smelling.B. Swift movement.C. Sharp hearing.D. A strong memory.()43. What is the passage mainly about?A. Selection process of rescue dogs.B. Risks rescue dogs are faced with.C. Qualities and training of rescue dogs.D. Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.Passage ThreeDuring a television play the sound man must be ready to make every sound as it is needed.Sound effects are of three kinds:real,imitated and recorded.Real sounds are those of doorbells,telephone bells,and other small objects easy to keep in a studio.But the sound man must imitate many sounds.For bacon fryin9,he crumples cellophane paper.A long sheet of metal hanging in a doorway makes thunder?He taps one rubber sink plunger and then another on a table to imitate a horse walking on pavement.For a horse galloping along a gravel road,the sound man can use the two halves of a coconut,pounding each in turn very fast on the table.Recorded sound effects are used for noises he cannot himself produce offstage.He pays records for such sounds as a rooster crowing, a train leaving a station,and a baby crying.The sound man is an important part of any television production.( )44. The sound man is important because he________?A. makes fl TV play more lifelikeB. is kept busyC. 1ets an actor know when to life a telephone receiverD. is always learning new methods( )45.

Recorded sound effects are used for a_______?A. train leaving a stationB. baby cryingC. rooster crowingD. all of the abovePassage FourEqual pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel that are lookeddown upon by society. They say it is for women to be paid less than men for the same work.People who hold the opposite opinion (mainly men)have an answer to this. They say that menhave more responsibility than women;a married man is expected to earn money to support hisfamily and to make the important decision,and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. Thereare some people who hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women workingat all. When wives go out to work,they say,the home and children are given no attention to. Ifwomen are encouraged by equal pay to take full time job,they will be unable to do the things.Women are best at making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to giveup their present position in society.This is exactly what they want to give up, the women who disagree say. They want to escapefrom the limited place which society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose between ajob and home life,or mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equalopportunities.These women have expressed their opinions forcefully busing the famous saying,“Al l men They point out that the meaning of this sentence is “all h uman being are are created equal.” created equal.”demand that _____.( )48. The women use the phrase “equal pay for equal work” toA. woman's work shouldn't be harder than men'sB. men should be paid less than womenC. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same workD. people doing harder work should earn more( )49.What exactly do the women who disagree want to give up?A. Their jobB. Their home lifeC. Their present position in societyD. Their right to pay( )50.People who disagree with women's opinions believe _____.A. men's responsibilities are different from women'sB. men can earn money more easily than womenC. women can't do what men canD. men have to work much harder than womenthat ___.( )51.

The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. Theseinstitutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science(B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for oneto two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schoolsrequire strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specificcollege prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges andfamous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, byearning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degreesin grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require suchadvanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-timejobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-yearprogram because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjo social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gatheringtogether for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university isprobably the most popular activity.( )53. College education is _______ in America.A. very rareB. quite commonC. something difficultD. almost impossible( )54. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools. A. entrance examinations B. college prep classes C. GPAD. taking part in many activities( )55. How can poor students attend private schools? A. Only by working at part-time jobs. B. Only by working at full-time jobs. C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.V.

May I speak to Tony? Tony: This is Tony speaking. _______ Susan: It’s Susan.Tony: Oh, Susan, it ’s been a while since we ’ve talked last time. _______Susan: Same with me.

AWhen you’re having a hard time with your homework or when you’re preparing for your term paper, these student-focused websites can help you with just about anything you need. The key to getting the most out of these online resources is to know how they can best be used to your advantage.FacebookAlthough Facebook can be one of your biggest time-wasters and distractions when you are supposed to be getting work done, it can also be one of your most valuable resources. Most of your classmates will probably have a Facebook account, so anyone you need to connect with about a class you missed or about a problem is usually just a few clicks away.SparkNotesWith a free library of history timeline, philosophy study guides and library summaries, SparkNotes has covered just about any reading-related jam you find yourself in. Just run a search for the book, play, or short summary of the material you are supposed to read.Do you finish every term with many expensive textbooks you will never open again? Instead of letting the money spent go to waste, get back some of your cash by selling your books on Amazon.Choosing new classes can sometimes be like trying to pick out your clothes in the dark, a total guessing game. Which teacher gives out the hardest problem sets? How much homework will that history professor give you every week? At , students all over the country rate their professors on quality, helpfulness, and how hard their classes are.WikipediaWhile Wikipedia isn’t aimed specifically at students, it is difficult to think of another website that does more to reduce the pain of paper writing and researching. Wikipedia gives you a quick way to find sources and get the details of almost any topic you need to research — all without walking to the library.21. The passage was mainly written to .A. explain some websites for parentsB. compare some educational websitesC. introduce different parts of a websiteD. offer some websites that may help students22. While you are taking great pains to write a research report, can most probably be a help.A. FacebookB. SparicNotesC. D. Wikipedia23. is a place .A. where you can make friends all over the countryB. where you can communicate with your professorsC. that gives you information about professors in advanceD. that gives tips on how to get along with your professors24. Which of the following will you most probably refer to, if you need brief ideas or discussion in reading?A. Wikipedia.B. Facebook.C. SparkNotes.D. .BEvery man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working towards her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student (技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid, ” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls (光荣榜).But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “H ey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbours and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in foot steps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.25. What used to be the author’s hope for his son?A. To avoid becoming his clone.B. To resemble him in appearanceC. To develop in a different direction.D. T o reach the author’s unachiev ed goals26. What can we learn about the author’s children?A. His daughter docs better in school.B. His daughter has got a master’s degree.C. His son tried hard to finish homework.D. His son couldn’t write his book reports.27. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that .A. his son had the ability to fix itB. it would save him much timeC. it wouldn’t cause him any more lossD. other motorheads would come to help28. What did the author realize in the end?A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.C. Architects play a more important role than builders.D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.CYoung sunflowers turn and swing every day. New findings add to evidence that the plants are animal-like.Harmer, a professor in the University of California at Davis, Department of Plant Biology, carried out a series of experiments on sunflowers in the field, in pots outdoors and in indoor growth chambers.By staking plants so that they could not move, Harmer showed that he could destroy their ability to track the sun. He also noticed that sunflowers prevented from moving were not as tough and leafy as those that were free to move. When plants were moved indoor with a settled overhead light, they continued to swing back and forth for a few days.The indoor plants did start tracking the “sun” again when the apparent source of lighting was moved across the room. The plants could reliably track the movement and return at night when the artificial day was close to a 24-hour cycle, but not when it was closer to 30 hours.When sunflowers track the sun, the east sides of their stems grew more rapidly than the west sides. At night, the west sides grew faster as the stem swung the other way. The team identified a number of genes that were expressed at higher levels on the sunward side of the plant during the day or on the other side at night. A plant growth-regulating hormone (激素), called auxin, appears to be a key driver.The “dance” to the sun cycle obviously slows when the sunflower matures (成熟) and its flowers open up. At that point, the plants stop moving during the day and settle down facing the sun in the east.“Bees like warm flowers.” Harmer said, adding that the bees are cold-blooded, so landing on a warm flower saves them energy and perhaps feels really good.“The morning wa rmth changes the flowers in a way to make them more appealing to insects, perhaps causing them to rele ase more attractive scents earlier in the day.” he said “We’re currently testing this idea.”29. Why did Harmer do the experiment on sunflowers?A. To see how sunflowers grow upB. To show what sunflowers’ genes are.C. To study why sunflowers track the sun.D. To check if sunflowers swing in cloudy days.30. What does the underlined word “staking” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A. trackingB. finingC. growingD. searching31. What is the result of sunflowers being stopped from moving?A. They will produce a number of new genes.B. They will grow faster than usual.C. They won’t swing back though set free.D. They won’t grow well.32. What is the advantage of sunflowers’ dance to the sun?A. They attract more insects.B. They save more energy.C. They mature more rapidly.D. They produce more flowers.DAnew international study shows that some peopled biological clock plays a powerful role for their life expectancy, regardless of lifestyle choices.Published in the latest issue of Aging on Wednesday, the study has found the most definitive evidence to explain why some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others.Geneticist Steve Horvath from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led a team of 65 scientists around the world to record age-related changes to human DNA, analyse blood samples collected from 13,000 people and estimate their lifespan.A higher biological age, regardless of actual age, consistently predicts an earlier death, the study says.“You get peop le who are vegan, sleep 10 hours a day, have a low-stress job, and still end up dying young,” Horvath said in a statement. “We have shown some people have a faster innate aging rate.”The findings discovered that 5 percent of the population ages at a faster biological rate, which translated to a roughly 50 percent higher than average risk of death at any age.“The great hope is that we find anti-aging interventions that would slow your innate aging rate,” Horvath said, adding that “this is an important mile stone to realizing this dream.33. How was the study conducted?A. By collecting and analyzing dataB. By interviewing lots of peopleC. By researching previous studiesD. By studying different lifestyles34. Some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others because .A. By biological clock is not powerful enoughB. the most definitive evidence has been foundC. they have a higher actual age than othersD. they ages at a relatively faster biological rate35. According to the study, it can be inferred that .A. people who keep healthy lifestyle tend to live longerB. people’s lifespan can be predicted by their ageC. anti-aging interventions have proved to slow the innate aging rateD. 5 percent of people are believed to have a faster innate aging rate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。
