1 . Our house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to the patients at the clinic.
One evening as I was fixing supper, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly awful-looking man. He’s hardly taller than my eight-year-old son. “Good evening. I’ve come to see if you’ve a room. I came for a treatment this morning from the eastern shore, and there’s no bus till morning.” He told me he’d been hunting for a room since noon but with no success. “I guess it’s my face…I know it looks terrible, but my doctor says with a few more treatments…” For a moment I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “I could sleep in this chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.”
I told him we would find him a bed. When I had finished the dishes, I talked with him. He told me he fished for a living to support his five children, and his wife, who was hopelessly crippled (残疾的) from a back injury. He didn’t tell it by way of complaint. Next morning, just before he left, as if asking a great favor, he said, “Could I come back and stay the next time?” He added, “Your children made me feel at home.”
On his next trip he arrived a little after seven in the morning. As a gift, he brought a big fish and the largest oysters (牡蛎) I had ever seen. I knew his bus left at 4:00 a.m. and I wondered what time he had to get up in order to do this for us.
In the years he came to stay overnight with us and there was never a time that he did not bring us vegetables from his garden. I know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from him we learned how to accept the bad without complaint when facing the misfortune.
1. Why did the author agree to let the man spend the night in his house at last?
A.Because the man said others refused to accommodate him.

D.Because the man said he had been hunting for a room since noon.
2. How long would it take the man to travel from his home to Baltimore by bus?
A.About 1 hour.B.About 2 hours.

B.the man was fed up with his hard-work and his family
C.John Hopkins Hospital provided rooms for the patients to live in

2 . A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspaper.
“Last week, ” he said,   “my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As
it was a present,   I spent twice its worth in advertising,   but didn’t get it back. ”
“How did you write your advertisement? ” asked one of the listeners,   a merchant.
  “Here it is, ” said the man,   taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read,   “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening,   a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street. ”
“Now, ” said the merchant,   “I often advertise,   and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again,   and if it fails,   I’ll buy you a new one. ”
  The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote:   “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble,   he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known. ”
  This appeared in the newspaper,   and on the following morning,   the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors,   and his own was among them. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake,   and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.
1. The result of the first advertisement was that____ .
A.the man got his umbrella back

3 . The opening scene of The King’s Speech was, in a word, terrifying. The moment King George VI—wonderfully played by Colin Firth—stepped up to the microphone at Wembley Stadium, a rush of nervousness came over me. It took me back to my school days, standing at my desk, having to read aloud to the class. I whispered to my wife, Jill, “A stutterer(口吃者) wrote this screenplay(剧本).
I grew up with a stutter, really afraid of trying to get through simple sentences—knowing that I would then, or later, be laughed at. I still remember the reading when I was in 7th grade at St. Helena’s: “Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentlemen…” I remember reciting, “Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentlemen.” The school teacher said, “Master B-B-B-Biden! What’s that word?” She wanted me to say gentlemen. But by then, I had learned to put my sentences into bite-size pieces and I was reading it: “gentle”|breath|“man”.
Ninety-nine percent of the time, the teachers were great. I never had professional treatment but a couple of teachers taught me to put a regular rise and fall in my tone of speaking, and that’s why I spent so much time reading poetry. But even in my small, boys’ prep school, I got nailed in my class with the nickname Joe Stutterer. You get so desperate, you’re so embarrassed. I actually went and stood by the side of my house once, with a small round stone in my mouth, and tried to talk. Jill always thought I was kidding until she saw the movie and saw King George did the same thing.
King George relied on the support his wife and the help of Lionel Longue, who, in describing working with other stutterers, said, “My job was to give them confidence in their voices and let them know that a friend was listening.” I was lucky enough to have more than a couple of Lionels in my life. Nobody in my family ever—ever—made fun of me or tried to finish my sentences. My mother would say, “_____________________” And because of her and others, I made sure it didn’t.
Through hard work and determination, I beat my stutter in high school. I even spoke briefly at my graduation ceremony in 1961—the most difficult speech of my life. My fight against shyness and embarrassment at my early age has developed my ability to understand others’ feelings as Vice President of the country in public life. I still mark up all of my speeches the say way Firth’s character does in the movie, pencil-marking every line to remind myself to stop, to breathe, to pause—to beat back my stuttering as best as I can. I don’t stutter anymore, and most people who know me only late in my life are shocked that I ever did.
By capturing exactly how a stutter feels, The King’s Speech has shown millions of people how much courage it takes for a stutterer to stand up and speak. Equally important, it has shown millions who suffer from the pain that it can be overcome, we are not alone, and with the support of those around us, our deepest fears can be conquered.
1. The writer whispered to his wife, “A stutterer wrote this screenplay”, because __________.
A.he desired to release his secret to his wife
B.he was reminded how it was as a stutterer on such occasions
C.he thought Colin Firth had a wonderful performance in the film
D.he wanted to make his wife realize why the film was so popular
2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 imply?
A.The writer would have a good fortune to get help from many people.
B.The writer should realize he had to stand up from his pain and defeat it
C.The writer could get enough confidence under his mother’s help
D.The writer must be happy that everyone in his family did not laugh at him.
3. What message is conveyed in the passage?
A.Whatever pain and fear we have, we can defeat them if we try hard.
B.The similar stories of the writer and King George VI gains great admiration.
C.The suffer we had at our early age will have a heavy influence on our future life.
D.Stuttering is such a pain for children that we should give help and encourage them.

6 . As a boy, Charles Robert Darwin collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him.
His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwin’s interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert Fitzroy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended(推荐). That voyage was the start of Darwin’s great life.
As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection in order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life.
Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwin’s great book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (《物种起源》) appeared. It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work.
Afterwards, he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. “When I have to give up observation, I shall die,” he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.
1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Charles Darwin’s ideas
B.Charles Darwin’s works
C.Father of modern biology: Charles Darwin
D.The greatest scientist: Charles Darwin
2. Darwin’s father sent him to Edinburgh to _____.
A.make him like natural history
B.make him become a doctor
C.let him change his hobbies
D.have him give up his collection
3. According to the passage, Charles Darwin’s whole life was changed by _____.
A.his study at Cambridge University
B.his collection of coins
C.the naturalists at Cambridge
D.the voyage of the Beagle
4. The underlined part “they were descended from monkeys” probably means “_____”.
A.they gave monkeys life
B.they were different from monkeys
C.they were developed from monkeys
D.they had to live with monkeys

8 . Have you seen Jurassic Park? In this film, scientists use DNA kept for tens of millions of years to clone dinosaurs. They find trouble, however, when they realize that the cloned creatures are smarter and more dangerous than expected. That’s nothing more than a fiction.

But could we really clone endangered animals?

To date, the most successful attempt to do so was the cloning of a gaur, a rare ox-like animal from southeast Asia. Scientists used a cow to bring the cloned baby gaur, named Noah. Two days after birth, however, Noah died from a common bacterial infection. Other endangered species that may be cloned include the African bongo antelope (邦戈羚羊), the Sumatran tiger, the cheetah (猎豹), and the giant panda.        Next, could we really clone extinct animals?

In theory? Yes. To do this, you need a well-kept source of DNA from the extinct animals such as wool mammoth (毛象), Tasmanian tiger, or even dinosaur, and a closely related species, still living, which could serve as a surrogate mother.

In reality? Probably not. On the one hand, it’s not likely that extinct animals’ DNA could survive undamaged for such a long time. Cloning extinct animals as wool mammoth, Tasmanian tiger, or dinosaur is much more difficult due to the lack of properly well-preserved DNA. On the other hand, for example, a gaur can have a cow as a surrogate mother, definitely not a monkey. But what about an extinct animals as unique as the panda? What species could possibly serve as a surrogate mother?

Cloning presents many exciting possibilities. However, even if extinct animals are brought back, they could not survive in today’s world. Not only do most extinct animals have no habitat to love in, but the other plants and animals they depended on for food may also be gone as well.

1. It can be learned from the text that ________.
A.scientists have cloned the African bongo antelope
B.both the cheetah and the giant panda live in Asia
C.the gaur lives in Asia and is endangered
D.the gaur is an extinct species
2. The underlined words “a surrogate mother” probably refer to a female who -----
A.contributes its eggs to another femaleB.gives birth to a baby for another female
C.gives birth to a baby of its ownD.cannot give birth to a baby
3. The difficulty in cloning an extinct species is the lack of ______.
A.both the well-preserved DNA and plants to live on
B.both the habitat to live in and the well-preserved DNA
C.both habitat to live in and plants to live on
D.both the well-preserved DNA and a surrogate mother
4. In the author’s opinion, it is possible that ______.
A.some extinct species may be cloned, but not survive
B.extinct species may be cloned and easily survive
C.a gaur can have a monkey as a surrogate mother
D.all the extinct species may be cloned
5. Today , have scientists cloned dinosaus?
A.YesB.NoC.A lotD.Only one.
