Amy ran home through the woods. “Mum!” she shouted. “I see birds. Two. In cave (洞穴). Beautiful!” Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night, she thought only of birds. Amy climbed straight to her attic room—her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed “Amy in the woods.” “Are those the same birds who built the nest last year? Will they return to the cave next spring?” Amy always wondered. “I will study my cave birds. I will draw them just as they are.” Amy made up her mind. In a week, the birds were used to her. They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her pencils. Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed. Amy watched as two baby birds came out. She watched as the young birds flew for the first time. She began to feel a part of this small family. When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite, Amy knew the birds would leave soon. But would they come back? She had to know! In bed that night, she formed a plan. The next day, when the mother and father birds were away from the nest, she tied something to one leg of each baby bird. A week later, the birds were gone. . . The days grew longer again.

Did they return too? She began to search the woods near the cave, listening for their call. Inside a little house, she found two birds building a nest. One wore a silver ring around its leg.

Amy told herself silently. She was in her class’ Second-Day-of-School Game with her teammates, whom she only met yesterday. This was her first chance to make new friends, and she was nervous.

That will save valuable time, ” Cindy smiled at Amy. “We still need to hurry,” Tyler reminded, pointing to the Yellow Team coming near. “I know a shortcut!” Henry suggested. “Follow me!” No one moved. “No, seriously,” Henry said. “You know I’m always running late. I know every shortcut in town.” The others finally agreed. A few sharp turns, and they were there! This time Amy read the clue aloud: Now go to the place where the football is running around! “The football stadium!” They called out together and started to run… Now they’d got the final clue: Look where you’ve been, see where you are. Use your map wisely and you’ll be a star! Looking closely at the map, everyone thought hard. “Aha! A star!” Cindy suddenly broke the silence. She quickly took out a pencil. As they watched her drawing lines on the map, everyone understood. They began running back to where they started. They were closer and closer, and finally crossed the finish line-just one step behind the Red Team! “So…close…” Tyler made a face, and they all laughed together. “Nice job, new girl,” Cindy gave Amy a high-five. “That was really fun,” said Henry. “I hope we’ll be on the same team soon.” “Me, too,” Amy agreed, smiling. 1．What does the beginning of the story tell us about Amy?

As a boy, he was told that he was hopeless at Science and was at the bottom of his class. Later, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or 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 can lead to. At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out the 250 boys at his high school in Biology. 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 earlier 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 the 1960s, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic 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 the sheep Dolly 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 the technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack. “Luck favours the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Noble Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize (抓住) the chance.” 1．Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine? A．Sir John Gurdon. B．Shinya Yamanaka. C．Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka. D．Gurdon’s science teacher. 2．According to the passage, which statement about Sir John Gurdon is TRUE? A．As a boy, he was told that 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 teacher’s criticisms, he kept working hard. 3．From the passage, we know Sir John Gurdon’s success depended on many things EXCEPT ________. A．perseverance B．criticisms C．diligence D．curiosity 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Ninety percent of the time things don’t work. B．Luck favours the prepared mind.

Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood. It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’ coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about. Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded, its huge body on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use. An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jack and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way. Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water.

Raising four kids on her own was her full time job, but she also had to work outside the home to make money. Surprisingly, she always seemed to find extra time to stay with us. She would take us over to my aunt’s house in the evening when she worked as a waitress. After school we would have to hurry so my mom would be on time for work. I thought she would pass us over to our aunt and hurry off, but that didn’t happen. Instead, we would rock in my aunt’s big wooden swing (秋千), my mom in her waitress uniform, and talk about what happened that day. “I learned how to add numbers up to the hundreds,” my sister Sandy would say. “That’s wonderful,” my mom would reply, holding her tight. “I learned how to write my name!” Larry, my younger brother, would shout. My mom would get a piece of paper and a pencil out of her purse and hand it to my brother. “Show me how you do it,” she’d ask softly. “Do you have enough time to hear what I did today?” I’d ask her. Mom would smile at me and nod. “I’m never too busy for something valuable like that!” She gave us the gift of time again and again. When she came to live with us after her retirement (退休), my mom gave the gift of time to my children, too. They would ask their grandma if she would play with them. By then my mom had health problems, but she would always nod and sit down and read to them or tell them stories. Those moments were a wonderful gift that my children still talked about and treasured.

It was not just the empty nest (鸟巢) of a pewee bird as Amy had found the last five days. Amy ran home through the woods. “Mum!” she shouted. “I see birds. Two. In cave (洞穴). Beautiful!” Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night, she thought only of birds. Amy climbed straight to her attic room—her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed “Amy in the woods.” “Are those the same birds who built the nest last year? Will they return to the cave next spring?” Amy always wondered. “I will study my cave birds. I will draw them just as they are.” Amy made up her mind. In a week, the birds were used to her. They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her pencils. Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed. Amy watched as two baby birds came out. She watched as the young birds flew for the first time. She began to feel a part of this small family. When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite, Amy knew the birds would leave soon. But would they come back? She had to know! In bed that night, she formed a plan. The next day, when the mother and father birds were away from the nest, she tied something to one leg of each baby bird. A week later, the birds were gone. . . The days grew longer again. One morning. Amy heard a bird call, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!” She ran to the cave. Watching the way the birds flew in and out of the cave, Amy knew her friends came back. But where were last year’s babies? Did they return too? She began to search the woods near the cave, listening for their call. Inside a little house, she found two birds building a nest. One wore a silver ring around its leg. Up the small river, under a bridge, she found two more nesting birds. And one wore a silver ring around its leg. Amy smiled and called, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!” 1．What did Amy want to find out in the whole story? A．Where and how the birds spent winter. B．Why the birds and their babies came back. C．Whether the same birds would return.

You must TRY HARDER. Amy told herself silently. She was in her class’ Second-Day-of-School Game with her teammates, whom she only met yesterday. This was her first chance to make new friends, and she was nervous. So far Amy hadn’t given any useful suggestions—after all, she was totally new to this town. Luckily, no one seemed to care about it. This relaxed her a lot. Since the Blue Team left the park, they had worked out the first two clues (线索) and had been to the post office. Now they were in front of the cinema. Henry was reading aloud the third clue: Go to our town founder’s last resting place. I know THIS ONE! Amy thought, excited. “To the cemetery (墓地)” Cindy said. “No, wait!” Amy said. “I’ve read about it. The founder was buried near the library.” “Wow. I’ve walked by every day,” Tyler said. “Never knew that!” “Good job! That will save valuable time, ” Cindy smiled at Amy. “We still need to hurry,” Tyler reminded, pointing to the Yellow Team coming near. “I know a shortcut!” Henry suggested. “Follow me!” No one moved. “No, seriously,” Henry said. “You know I’m always running late. I know every shortcut in town.” The others finally agreed. A few sharp turns, and they were there! This time Amy read the clue aloud: Now go to the place where the football is running around! “The football stadium!” They called out together and started to run… Now they’d got the final clue: Look where you’ve been, see where you are. Use your map wisely and you’ll be a star! Looking closely at the map, everyone thought hard. “Aha! A star!” Cindy suddenly broke the silence. She quickly took out a pencil. As they watched her drawing lines on the map, everyone understood. They began running back to where they started. They were closer and closer, and finally crossed the finish line-just one step behind the Red Team! “So…close…” Tyler made a face, and they all laughed together. “Nice job, new girl,” Cindy gave Amy a high-five. “That was really fun,” said Henry. “I hope we’ll be on the same team soon.” “Me, too,” Amy agreed, smiling. 1．What does the beginning of the story tell us about Amy?

She woke up on Christmas morning and, along with her brother, ran down to see the gifts under the tree. In the living room sat a nice mini bike. For a short moment, Lily was filled with great excitement. She couldn’t imagine anything better than getting that bike. Then, she saw a baby doll sitting on the sofa. Then she knew. She knew that the mini bike belonged to her brother and that doll would be hers. It was always like this. Tommy always got cool things: skateboards, science kits. The mini bike was just the latest cool thing. Lily always got the boring gifts: a set of toy cooking kits, a pair of fairy lady’s feather wings.

Tommy had seen that mini-bike in the front window of Moore’s Bike Shop, but hadn’t Lily too? Tommy had asked for the bike and had said it was the only thing he wanted for Christmas. Although Lily had the same thought, she failed to say it, again. She was a shy girl, even in front of her family. Tommy’s eyes grew wide at the bike. He knew it was his—no doll for him.

It took a while for anyone to realize she was missing. “What’s wrong, Lily?” Papa asked gently. “Did you see your pretty doll?” “I saw it,” she said unhappily. “What’s wrong, honey? You won’t believe how long your father waited in line to buy that doll! It was nearly 30 minutes.” Mama said. Silence. Lily’s mouth was fixed. Her face was pale. “Oh, Mama, you know Lily is never excited by presents!” her brother laughed. “Come out and watch me ride!” And so they did. However, Lily made a decision after a while.

Every boy in the country was wild with joy. They lined up for the seed in front of the palace. Among them was Jun, a boy who was really good at growing things. His neighbours would fight over the melons and peas he grew. Jun took the seed home as if it were the most valuable thing in the world. He put some rich black soil in one of his best flower pots and put the seed carefully in the pot. Jun watered the pot every day and waited for the first little green leaf to show up as all the other boys in the country did. Soon, one of Jun’s neighbours had his first leaf. Jun was surprised but he kept waiting. Then, the second boy, the third boy and many other boys had their first leaf. Jun’s pot was still empty. He couldn’t understand. He moved the seed carefully into another pot and put the best and richest black soil in this pot. He watched it every day but still nothing came. Soon it was the day for the boys to show their plant to the king at the palace. Among many happy boys with strong and beautiful plants stood Jun with his head down and an empty pot in his hand. When the king saw Jun, he asked, “What is this? You brought me an empty pot?” Jun almost cried. “I did my best. I put the seed in the best soil I could find.

He couldn’t understand. He moved the seed carefully into another pot and put the best and richest black soil in this pot. He watched it every day but still nothing came.”Jun的花盆还是空的。他无法理解。他小心翼翼地把种子移到另一个罐子里，把最好、最肥沃的黑土放在这个罐子里。他每天都看着，但仍然一无所获。可推断他没有轻易放弃。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Jun almost cried”结合文章可知，别人的花盆都长出了植物，只有Jun的花盆是空的，所以他很沮丧，故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“Of course it wouldn’t grow.

She didn’t have any brothers or sisters to help her. So she had to do everything by herself. What was worse, because of these, her family was very poor. They couldn’t afford an electric washing machine. Instead, she had to do the washing all by hand in the local river, and then carefully carry everything back to her home—a task that took several hours. Interested in engineering, Amy wanted to make a washing machine which could be used without electricity. She started studying electric washers to learn how they worked. Amy then designed a machine with bicycle pedals (踏板) and chain. To get those, she went to a local shop. Luckily, the workers there were very kind. They gave her the parts. When she met problems in making the machine, they also helped her work out them. Here’s how the machine works: Amy used a cylinder (圆筒) to hold the clothes and put it in a cube (立方体). Next, she connected the bicycle pedals and the chain to the cylinder. As Amy pushed the pedals with her legs, the cylinder cleaned the clothes just like a regular washing machine. Amy’s invention worked! She had created her own human-powered washing machine and now a task that used to take several hours took only 30 minutes. The poor could use the washing machine even if they couldn’t afford electricity. Amy’s washing machine was chosen as India’s best invention! And the story of this young woman’s creative invention spread around the world. “Amy’s invention saves time and money for the world’s poor people,” said Jeanine Thomas of the Borden Project, “she made a difference.” 1．What problem did Amy try to solve? A．Her mother suffered from illness. B．It was a long way to get water from the river. C．Her family was too poor to afford her education. D．It took too much time and effort to wash clothes. 2．Which shows the correct order of Amy’s life? a. Her mother fell ill. b. She began to study electric washers. c. Her invention spread all over the world. d. Her washing machine worked successfully. e. She got help from the workers at a local shop. f. She had an idea of making a washing machine.

Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told that he was hopeless at Science and was at the bottom of his class. Later, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or 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 can lead to. At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out the 250 boys at his high school in Biology. 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 earlier 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 the 1960s, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic 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 the sheep Dolly 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 the technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack. “Luck favours the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Noble Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize (抓住) the chance.” 1．Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine? A．Sir John Gurdon. B．Shinya Yamanaka. C．Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka. D．Gurdon’s science teacher. 2．According to the passage, which statement about Sir John Gurdon is TRUE? A．As a boy, he was told that 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 teacher’s criticisms, he kept working hard. 3．From the passage, we know Sir John Gurdon’s success depended on many things EXCEPT ________. A．perseverance B．criticisms C．diligence D．curiosity 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Ninety percent of the time things don’t work. B．Luck favours the prepared mind. C．Life is full of surprises. D．How cells actually work. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍一位诺贝尔生理学或医学奖获得者John Gurdon在小时候受尽质疑，但是凭借着不放弃、勇往直前的精神，最终获得成功的故事。从而告诉我们好运是给有准备的人的。 1．细节理解题。根据“Later, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Japanese stem cell (干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.”可知，79岁的Gurdon与日本干细胞研究者Shinya Yamanaka共同获得2012年诺贝尔医学奖。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“In spite of his teacher’s criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard.”可知，尽管受到老师的批评，Gurdon还是追随着自己的好奇心，继续努力学习。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance can lead to.”及“In spite of his teacher’s criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard.

Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood. It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’ coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about. Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded, its huge body on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use. An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jack and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way. Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water—a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save his life. 1．What does the picture on Jake’s wall tell us about him?

Raising four kids on her own was her full time job, but she also had to work outside the home to make money. Surprisingly, she always seemed to find extra time to stay with us. She would take us over to my aunt’s house in the evening when she worked as a waitress. After school we would have to hurry so my mom would be on time for work. I thought she would pass us over to our aunt and hurry off, but that didn’t happen. Instead, we would rock in my aunt’s big wooden swing (秋千), my mom in her waitress uniform, and talk about what happened that day. “I learned how to add numbers up to the hundreds,” my sister Sandy would say. “That’s wonderful,” my mom would reply, holding her tight. “I learned how to write my name!” Larry, my younger brother, would shout. My mom would get a piece of paper and a pencil out of her purse and hand it to my brother. “Show me how you do it,” she’d ask softly. “Do you have enough time to hear what I did today?” I’d ask her. Mom would smile at me and nod. “I’m never too busy for something valuable like that!” She gave us the gift of time again and again. When she came to live with us after her retirement (退休), my mom gave the gift of time to my children, too. They would ask their grandma if she would play with them. By then my mom had health problems, but she would always nod and sit down and read to them or tell them stories. Those moments were a wonderful gift that my children still talked about and treasured. In the last few years of her life, I would take her to lunch or sit with her, and we would talk about the past, the dream of the future, and just enjoy being with each other. My mom would listen as I talked. I would look at her and ask her if she minded me taking up so much of her free time. “Nonsense,” she’d tell me, “I’m never too busy to spend time with you. It’s one of the greatest joys of my life.” I will always remember those wonderful words and the loving heart behind them. It is a gift my mom gives to me. Whatever happened, she always spent time with me. 1．According to the passage, we know that the writer grew up ________.
