阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
A
Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out .
Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobe Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell(干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance (坚持不懈)can lead. At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was“quite ridiculous”.
In spite of his teacher s criticisms,Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
“My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work,” Gurdon said. In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic(基因的)information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone(克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物)in the world.
In 2006,Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
“Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work,but when they do,you have to seize(抓住)the chance.”
36.Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?
A. Sir John Gurdon

e. grow into a clone of a frog

C. b—d—a—c—e D. b—e—d—a—c
38.What does the underlined word “ridiculous” mean?
A. 无知的 B. 无畏的 C. 荒废的 D. 荒谬的
39.According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?
A. As a boy, he was told he was hopeful.
B. He ranked first at his high school in biology.
C. It’s impossible for the doctors to repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
D. In spite of his teacherˈs criticisms, he kept working hard.

38. 第三段介绍Gurdon的老师对他的质疑和批评,认为他不可能成才。Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”.译为“Gerdon的高中科学老师甚至说他成为一名科学家的梦想很荒谬。”故选D。

On February 9th, 2013, Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris. She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives.
Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, he also immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had.
Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man. So on February 18th, he set up a special page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000 and there seems to be no end yet.
That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living in the streets. And that's not all—thanks to the news report, he got together again with his older brother, Edwin Harris, who he had been unable to find for 27 years.
All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing—returning something that did not belong to him.
46.When did Sarah realize that she had also given Billy the diamond ring?
A. On February 9th, 2013. B. On February 10th, 2013.
C. On February 18th, 2013. D. On February 22nd, 2013.
47.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Billy is living with a generous person.
B. Billy has found his brother.
C. Billy bought a diamond ring.
D. Billy appeared in the news report.
48.The underlined word "That" in Paragraph 4 refers to (指代) ________.
A. returning the ring B. setting up a page
C. living in the streets D. receiving money
49.Who did the diamond ring belong to?
A. Sarah Darling. B. Billy Ray Harris.
C. Bill Krejci. D. Edwin Harris.
50.What's the best title of the passage?
A. Generous Woman Changed Her Own Life
B. Kind Man Set Up Special Page
C. Homeless Man Returned Diamond Ring
D. Many People Donated Much Money
【答案】B、C、D、A、C
【解析】【文章大意】短文主要记述了一个人在施舍给一个乞讨者时,不小心把钻石戒指给了这个人。后来这个乞讨者归还了戒指,并因此受到一笔很大的捐款,还找到了自己失散多年的兄弟。可以说这一切都是诚实带来的好运。
46. 根据第一段句子On February 9th, 2013, Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris.2013年2月9日,萨拉达林在街上走着,遇到了一个叫比利雷哈里斯的流浪汉。第二段句子Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning.莎拉没有意识到她不仅给了比利她所有的零钱而且她还把她的钻戒放在她的零钱钱包里,直到第二天早上才意识到,可知应该是2013年2月10日。故选B。
47. 根据倒数第二段句子Billy is living with a person who is generous比利和一个慷慨大方的人生活在一起,可知A选项在文章中提到了;根据倒数第二段句子Thanks to the news report, he got together again with his older brother多亏了这篇新闻报道,他又和他的哥哥再次相聚。可知B选项提到了;根据倒数第二段句子Thanks to the news report多亏了新闻报道,可知,D选项也提到了。根据第二段句子Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning.莎拉没有意识到她不仅给了比利她所有的零钱而且她还把她的钻戒放在她的零钱钱包里,直到第二天早上才意识到。可知C选项这句话不符合文意,这个钻石戒指是Sarah的,并不是Billy买的。故选C。
48. 根据第三段句子So on February 18th, he set up a special page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000and there seems to be no end yet.因此,在2月18日,他设立了一个特别的页面为他筹集资金。仅仅4天,比利就得到了8.5万美元的收入,而且似乎还没有结束。可知,这里的that 代指的应该是前文中所提到的事情,这里应该指的是当Billy归还了戒指之后,在Bill的努力下,人们为他捐了很多钱。故选D。
49. 根据第二段句子Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning.莎拉没有意识到她不仅给了比利她所有的零钱而且她还把她的钻戒放在她的零钱钱包里,直到第二天早上才意识到。The homeless man was not only in the same place, he also immediately returned the ring.那个无家可归的人不仅在同一个地方,他还立即把戒指还给了他。可知钻石戒子属于莎拉•达林。故选A。
50. 根据整篇文章内容及其第二段句子Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning.莎拉没有意识到她不仅给了比利她所有的零钱而且她还把她的钻戒放在她的零钱钱包里,直到第二天早上才意识到。The homeless man was not only in the same place, he also immediately returned the ring.那个无家可归的人不仅在同一个地方,他还立即把戒指还给了他。可知这篇短文讲述的是一个诚实的流浪汉归还了Sarah无意间给他的一枚戒指,而他的这份善良也给他自己带来了回报。他不仅从人们那里得到了很多捐款,而且找到了他失散多年的哥哥。故这篇短文的标题应该是无家可归的人返回钻石戒指。故选C。

A few bad nights are enough to make a person look "espe-cially" more ugly, their sleep experiments show.
The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights.
A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row.
The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the vol-unteers after both the good and the bad sleep.
Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health and sleepiness, as well as asking them, "How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?"
The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.
The strangers also said they wouldnˈt want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill.
Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said, "Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious (无意识的), but we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us."
51.When did the researchers take make-up free photos?
A. After two nightsˈ good sleep.
B. After two nightsˈ bad sleep.
C. Before the experiment.
D. After both two nights' good sleep and two nights' bad sleep.

A. telling who looked healthier
B. telling who didn't have many friends

C. The people who were unhealthy.
D. The people who were attractive and energetic.
54.What does the underlined word "socialize" mean in Chinese?

55.According to the passage, which of the following is the best title?
A. Beauty Sleep, More Attractive B. More Sleep, More Friends

52. 根据短文内容Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness,可知,他们让122个陌生人看了照片,并根据照片中的人的吸引力、健康程度和困倦程度对其进行了评价,但并没有让他们判断照片上的人是否有很多朋友,而没有提到辨别谁没有一些朋友。故选B。
53. 根据短文内容An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill.可知,陌生人不想和那些看起来不健康的人交朋友,由此得知他们是想和那些有魅力和精力充沛的人交朋友。故选D。

An Unforgettable Experience
Everyone has some experiences that they can’t forget.
【答案】
An Unforgettable Experience
Everyone has some experiences that they canˈt forget. Last summer vacation, my friend Helen asked me to have a backpacking trip with her to Yunnan. At first, I couldnˈt make up my mind because of the fear of getting lost and possible danger. But she encouraged me and we started our first backpacking trip. (起因)
Along the way, we had so much fun enjoying the wonderful scenery and the unique culture. In Lijiang, we lived in a small inn in the ancient town. To our surprise, the people in the room next door were two foreigners. We were so excited that we kept chatting with them. At school, I always felt shy and worried about speaking English in a wrong way, but during that time I just thought about sharing my ideas and experiences with the foreign friends. Now we still keep in touch with each other. (经过)
What an unforgettable experience! From that experience, I learn that if you want to do something, just go ahead and you will get an unexpected harvest. (感受与收获)

Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out .
Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobe Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell(干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance (坚持不懈)can lead. At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was“quite ridiculous”.
In spite of his teacher s criticisms,Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
“My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work,” Gurdon said. In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic(基因的)information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone(克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物)in the world.
In 2006,Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
“Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work,but when they do,you have to seize(抓住)the chance.”

On February 9th, 2013, Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris. She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives.
Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, he also immediately returned the ring.
