【題目】It was a cold and cloudy afternoon. I was on the bus with my children, aged four and two, heading home when it started to rain. I realized this would mean 【1】wet walk home from the bus stop.

A young man put the window down. “Hey, here’s an umbrella for you --- please take it.” He called out.

I stood there 【4】(surprise), hardly believing that the man, 【5】I didn’t know at all, could be so 【6】(thought). “Come on, give this to your mummy,” he said to my older son. I gratefully accepted the offer, 【7】(thank) him and watched the truck disappear down the road.

This man might have needed the umbrella for 【8】later during the day but preferred to give it to me. It was a lesson to me 【9】it’s possible to give without expecting anything 【10】return.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了作者帶著兩個(gè)孩子在回家的路上碰到了下雨，正在煩惱之時(shí)，一個(gè)陌生的卡車司機(jī)給了她一把傘，讓她認(rèn)識(shí)到付出而不求回報(bào)的可能。

【1】a，根據(jù)前文可知這是開始下雨，回家的路會(huì)變成潮濕的，a wet walk是指濕著走路的過程，句意：我意識(shí)到這意味著要從巴士站濕著走回家。

【2】but，副詞，根據(jù)句意可知這里表轉(zhuǎn)折。句意：雖然家距離巴士站只有2個(gè)街區(qū)，但是帶著一個(gè)在嬰兒車?yán)锸焖鸵粋�(gè)穿著雨衣的小孩，而且我沒有雨傘，走回去是一件令人不愉快的事。

【3】pulling，pull back倒回、撤回，句意：一個(gè)載貨的卡車經(jīng)過了我們，在幾分鐘之后，我看見它又倒回來，那個(gè)司機(jī)直直地看著我們。

【4】surprised，結(jié)合前句可以判斷，作者對(duì)于那個(gè)男人給自己一把傘感到很驚訝。句意：我站在那里不可置信的看著那個(gè)男人，感到很驚訝。

【5】who，考查who引導(dǎo)的定語從句，句意：這個(gè)我完全不認(rèn)識(shí)的男人，竟然如此為我著想，讓我感到很訝異。

【6】thoughtful，為人著想的、善解人意的，形容這個(gè)陌生的好心男人，句意：這個(gè)我完全不認(rèn)識(shí)的男人，竟然如此為我著想，讓我感到很訝異。

【7】thanked，根據(jù)前文可知作者在敘述一件過去發(fā)生的事，故采用一般過去時(shí)，句意：我十分感激那個(gè)男人的好意，感謝他然后看著卡車從路上消失。

【8】himself，反身代詞，指示那個(gè)男人自己。句意：雖然那個(gè)男人之后也可能需要用傘但他卻還是把傘給了我。

【9】that，考查主語性從句，形式主語it替代主語從句，it+系動(dòng)詞+名詞+that從句。句意：這讓我學(xué)到了一課：付出而不求回報(bào)是有可能的。

【10】in，in return作為回報(bào)，句意：這讓我學(xué)到了一課：付出而不求回報(bào)是有可能的。

【題目】When people ask me what Down Syndrome(唐氏綜合癥) is, I tell them it’s an extra chromosome(染色體). A doctor would tell you the extra chromosome causes an intellectual disability that makes it harder for me to learn things.

Even though I have Down Syndrome, my life is a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV. I listen to music with my friends. I’m on the swim team and in chorus at school. I think about the future, and I like the one who I’ll marry. And I get along with my sisters---except when they take CDs without asking! I’m a hard worker, a good person, and I care about my friends.

Some of my classes are with typical kids, and some are with kids with learning disabilities. I have an aid who goes with me to my harder classes, like math and biology. She helps me take notes and gives me tips on how I should study for tests. It really helps, but I also challenge myself to do well. For instance, my goal was to be in a typical English class by 12thgrade. That’s exactly what happened this year!

It’s true that I don’t learn some things as fast as other people do. But that won’t stop me from trying. I just know that if I work really hard and by myself I can do almost anything.

I can’t change the fact that I have Down Syndrome, but one thing I would change is what people think of me. I’d tell them, “Judge me as a whole person, not just the person you see. Treat me with respect, and accept me for who I am. The most important---just be my friend.”

【1】A person with Down Syndrome ____________according to the passage.

A. can learn things almost as fast as normal people do

B. has one more chromosome than normal people

C. is hard to get along with

D. is easy to get along with

【2】The writer tries to picture himself as a __________teenager.

A. normal B. perfect C. lovely D. special

【3】The writer feels ________about his life.

A. confused B. hopeful C. unhappy D. curious

【4】What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To prove people with Down Syndrome are a lot like healthy ones

B. To show the writer’s honesty and optimism

C. To change people’s attitude towards people with Down Syndrome

D. To describe the life of a student with learning disabilities

【題目】With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. That’s more similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called Noah’s Ark.

Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎) and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M'S College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.

“The nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available (capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort.” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.

“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It's a research that is very much needed.”

【1】The aim of Noah's Ark project is to ____ .

A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas

B. save endangered animals from dying out

C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study

D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another

【2】How long will the Chinese panda cloning project take according to the passage?

A. 1 Year. B. 3 to 5 years. C. 2 years. D. 25 years.

【3】According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of ____.

A. available panda eggs B. host animals

C. qualified researchers D. enough money

【4】From the passage we know that ____ .

A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog

B. scientists try to implant a panda's egg into a rabbit

C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches

D. about two thousand species will probably die out in a century

【5】The best title for the passage may be ____.

A. China's Success in Pandas Cloning

B. The First Cloned Panda in the World

C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas

D. China --- the Native Place of Pandas Forever

【題目】Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.

Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.

【1】When you speak to the class, you should speak __________.

A. as slowly as possible

B. in a low voice

C. loudly

D. forcefully
