17、difference in someones life.“ Even though I was sincere, that wasnt a very good answer and my student didnt 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
18、 influence someone?“ He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. Im 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 d
19、ays, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach: Its 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 differ
20、ence. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You cant have ripples without a “stone.“ Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and thats what I strive to do. I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I
21、 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 theyll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.Teaching isnt for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.46. W
22、hy did the student continue to ask the question about the writers 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.

25、 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 Opr
26、ah 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 th
27、e dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other peoples 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
28、 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. Hope
29、fully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The shows main audiences are middle-class Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with lifes tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other ha
30、nd, 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 shows exploitation.50. Compared with other TV talk shows,
31、 both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are _.A. more interesting B. unusually poplar C. more detailed D. more formal51. 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 themC. rema
32、in cold to them D. are willing to get away from them52. 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 onl
33、y ones of its kind B. exploit the weaknesses in human natureC. appear at different times of the day D. attract different peopleCCan 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
34、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
35、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 Euro
36、peans 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 different in human and zebrafish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to prote
37、ct 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 vit amin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as
38、 Africans, so they probably 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 treatm
39、ent did on Michael Jackson.54. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. people can not change their skin colour without any painB. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin colour safelyC. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he likedD. scientists have found o
40、ut that peoples skin colour is determined by the gene55. 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 treatmentB. Europeans and Africans have the same geneC. the new discovery could help
41、 to find medical treatments for skin cancerD. there are two kinds of genes56. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to _.A. find the different genes of humansB. prove the humans skin colour is determined by the pigment geneC. find out the reason why the Africans sk
42、in colour is darkD. find out the ways of changing peopls skin colour57. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that _.A. they are born light-skinned peopleB. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gen for melanosome productionC. they have fewer activities outsideD. they pay muc
43、h attention to protecting their skinDThe 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 million
44、s of miles away. Traveling to the planets will be mans 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 sig
45、ns 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 E
46、arths 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 an
47、d even more interesting B. far more exciting and dangerousC. mans final aim D. mans first step59. 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 plane
48、ts 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 MarsC. the atmosphere of Mars is not so dense as that of VenusD. scientists will have little hope to find the answers第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）This Christmas, give something to your
