第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）
第一节（共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
A
Many years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?"
Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might
make a difference in someone's life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and
my student didn't let it slide.
"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here
every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence
someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused . I'm one of
those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I
wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It's in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading
teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge
that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on
until they reach the shore. You can't have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that
make a positive difference, and that's what I strive to do.
I genuinely love teenagers.
I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full
of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so.
If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.
Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.
46. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?
A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.
B. Because the writer was insincere.
C. Because the student was naughty.
D. Because the answer was difficult to understand.
47. What do you think of the writer?
A. Stupid. B. Honest. C. Conservative. D. Polite.
48. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her.
B. The writer’s answer made the student confused.
C. In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.
D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.
49. We can infer from the text that _________.
A. the writer was also a good teacher in school
B. the writer often plays with her students beside a pond
C. the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students
D. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home
B
Among various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime
television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no
two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the
Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The topics on his show are
as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex,
cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of
society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the
opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of
life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to
know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into
society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech about the entire idea of
the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main audiences are middle-class
Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with life's tough problems.
Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These
are 18-to 21year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug.
They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.
50. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are
______.
A. more interesting B. unusually poplar C. more detailed D. more formal
51. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the
shows ______.
A. show disbelief in them B. are ready to face up to them
C. remain cold to them D. are willing to get away from them
52. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
A. A new type of robot. B. National hatred.
C. Family income planning. D. Street accident.
53. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ____.
A. have become the only ones of its kind B. exploit the weaknesses in human nature
C. appear at different times of the day D. attract different people
C
Can people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps
yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.
The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other
is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the
latest issue of Science. Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform
gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish
skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size
and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.
It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异)
in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin.
However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is dif ferent in
human and zebrafish genes.
Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from
ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer.
But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on
their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.
Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they pr obably acquired their light
skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colour, said Cheng.
The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to
research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on
Michael Jackson.
54. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. people can not change their skin colour without any pain
B. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin colour safely
C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he liked
D. scientists have found out that people’s skin colour is determined by the gene
55. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. nowadays people who want to change their skin colour have to suffer a lot from the damage
caused by the chemical treatment
B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene
C. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer
D. there are two kinds of genes
56. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to ________.
A. find the different genes of humans’
B. prove the humans’ skin colour is determined by the pigment gene
C. find out the reason why the Africans’ skin colour is dark
D. find out the ways of changing peopl’s skin colour
57. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that ________.
A. they are born light-skinned people
B. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gen for melanosome production
C. they have fewer activities outside
D. they pay much attention to protecting their skin
D
The journey to the moon had been the first step toward future exploration(探险) in space. The
distance between the Moon and Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances
between Earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is millions of miles away.
Traveling to the planets will be man’s next aim. Such travels will be more challenging than the trip
to the moon and certainly more adventurous.
Recently, two American spaceships, Vikings 1 and 2, landed on Mars trying to discover
whether that planet has any life on it. So far the signs of life on Mars has neither confirmed(确认)
nor ruled out. Russians have discovered that the surface of Venus(金星) is so hot that it is almost
certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely dense( 稠 ) and the
pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than that of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Scientists believe man may find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on
Earth , but man should realize Earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to love and
care for it.
58. According to the passage, traveling to the planets will be ________.
A. much easier and even more interesting B. far more exciting and dangerous
C. man’s final aim D. man’s first step
59. Which of the following is Not true?
A. Mars is nearer to the earth than the moon.
B. The moon is much nearer to the earth than Mars.
C. Of all the planets, Mars is the nearest to the earth.
D. All the planets are much farther to the earth.
60. From the passage, we can guess_____.
A. there is life on Mars B. there is no life on Mars
C. the atmosphere of Mars is not so dense as that of Venus
D. scientists will have little hope to find the answers
