In the fall of 1985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember;little steps add up to big dreams.

A. a writer
B. a teacher

43. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?

44. What dose the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?

Millions of people around the world are hoping to learn more about their genes (基因). But they’re not just looking for information about their family history. Increasingly, people are interested in exploring how their genes may be influencing their fitness, diet, physical abilities, and injury risk. North Americans are leading the way while Europe is becoming the fastest-growing market for genetic tests.
“There’s no doubt that genes matter, but the question is how much?” said Dr. Timothy Caulfield, a professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. “Even when you look at Olympic-level long jumpers, who need highly explosive (爆发的) movements, not all of them have the gene. If it really mattered, they all would have to have it. “Indeed, scientists say there are so many factors when it comes to sporting ability and success, such as diet, sleep, training, and even-so-socieconomic backgrounds.
“While the genetic tests are probably correct, the science behind how the companies are explaining the results can be flawed,” said Dr. Dylan Mackay, an assistant professor. “A lot of times these tests are based on connections rather than controlled experiments that look for cause and effect,” Mackay said. “For example, eating watermelons is connected with drowning (溺水)— because more people swim in the same season as they eat watermelons, but that doesn’t mean one causes the other.”
Many people remain curious about DNA fitness tests. One such person is Devin Maier, co-owner of Balance Gym in Washington, DC. One of his customers was trying to put on muscle (肌肉) by lifting heavier weights. Based on his gene test results, Maier advised him to change to lifting lighter weights. Eventually, the customer was building the muscle he wanted. These tests offer a deeper understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, Maier pointed out.
Time, and further scientific research, may shed more light on whether DNA fitness tests are, or can be useful. Caulfield said he hopes parents won’t use these tests to force their child into — or away from — a specific sport or activity. “Allow them to follow their heart, and don’t let these genetic tests make things harder than they have to be.” he said.
46. Why do many people want to learn more about their genes?
A. To help scientific discoveries.
B. To complete their family tree.
C. To judge their health condition.
D. To discover suitable work choices.
47. What does the example of Olympic-level long jumpers show?
A. Explosive movements require special genes.
B. Good habits are the key to athletes’ success.
C. Genes don’t necessarily decide athletic talent.
D. Genetic tests don’t influence sports performance.
48. What does the underlined word “flawed” probably mean in paragraph 3?
A. Interesting. B. Imperfect. C. Common. D. Diffcult.
49. What does Maier say about DNA fitness tests?
A. They can be an informative tool.
B. They may lead to confusing results.
C. They work better for professional athletes.
D. They go against traditional training methods.
50. What are children probably advised to do by Caulfeld?
A. Follow genetic test advice. B. Balance study and exercise.
C. Explore genetic science further. D. Take up interest-based activities.

Jamie, 16, was on his way to the store when he noticed a stranger sitting alone on the edge of a bridge.
“I was just on my way to the American sweet shop to buy some drinks, when I saw this guy in his 30s sitting on the edge of the bridge,” he told Humans of Dublin. “I just thought, ‘wow.’”I stopped and asked him if he was OK, but I knew from the look in his eyes that he wasn’t, and he didn’t say anything, either, but I saw tears coming from his eyes. I begged him for a while to come down and sit on the steps, and eventually he did. Over the next 45 minutes, Jamie listened attentively as the stranger shared his burdens.
“We sat on the sidewalk on the south side of the Liffey and talked for about 45 minutes, about what was happening to him, why he was feeling that way... I couldn’t leave him there alone, but I had to go, so I was going to ring an ambulance,” Jamie recalled. “I told him they could help him feel better. But he was like’Please, please don’t call them. I’m fine. I just want to walk around for a while... I’m goanna be OK!’”
The man eventually accepted Jamie’s request and was taken to a hospital. Before bidding farewell, the two exchanged phone numbers.
Jamie continued, “And about three months ago, he texted me that his wife was pregnant, they were having a son, and they were naming him after me.
Can you believe that? They’ re going to name their child after me. He said in that moment when I approached him, he was just about to jump, and those few words saved his life. They’ re still ringing in his head every day. ‘Are you OK?’
I can’t really understand how these few words could save his life, but he told me, ‘Imagine if nobody ever asked you those words.?’”

In the fall of 1985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember;little steps add up to big dreams.
41. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be____.
A. a writer
B. a teacher
C. a judge
D. a doctor
42. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?
A. She wanted to study by herself.
B. She fell in love and got married.
C. She suffered from a serious illness.
D. She decided to look after her grandma.

A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.
B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.
C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.
D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.
44. What dose the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Little by little, one goes far.
C. Every coin has two sides.
D. Well begun, half done.

Millions of people around the world are hoping to learn more about their genes (基因). But they’re not just looking for information about their family history. Increasingly, people are interested in exploring how their genes may be influencing their fitness, diet, physical abilities, and injury risk. North Americans are leading the way while Europe is becoming the fastest-growing market for genetic tests.
“There’s no doubt that genes matter, but the question is how much?” said Dr. Timothy Caulfield, a professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. “Even when you look at Olympic-level long jumpers, who need highly explosive (爆发的) movements, not all of them have the gene. If it really mattered, they all would have to have it. “Indeed, scientists say there are so many factors when it comes to sporting ability and success, such as diet, sleep, training, and even-so-socieconomic backgrounds.
“While the genetic tests are probably correct, the science behind how the companies are explaining the results can be flawed,” said Dr. Dylan Mackay, an assistant professor. “A lot of times these tests are based on connections rather than controlled experiments that look for cause and effect,” Mackay said. “For example, eating watermelons is connected with drowning (溺水)— because more people swim in the same season as they eat watermelons, but that doesn’t mean one causes the other.”
Many people remain curious about DNA fitness tests. One such person is Devin Maier, co-owner of Balance Gym in Washington, DC. One of his customers was trying to put on muscle (肌肉) by lifting heavier weights. Based on his gene test results, Maier advised him to change to lifting lighter weights. Eventually, the customer was building the muscle he wanted. These tests offer a deeper understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, Maier pointed out.
Time, and further scientific research, may shed more light on whether DNA fitness tests are, or can be useful. Caulfield said he hopes parents won’t use these tests to force their child into — or away from — a specific sport or activity. “Allow them to follow their heart, and don’t let these genetic tests make things harder than they have to be.” he said.
46. Why do many people want to learn more about their genes?
A. To help scientific discoveries.
B. To complete their family tree.
C. To judge their health condition.
D. To discover suitable work choices.
47. What does the example of Olympic-level long jumpers show?
A. Explosive movements require special genes.
B. Good habits are the key to athletes’ success.
C. Genes don’t necessarily decide athletic talent.
D. Genetic tests don’t influence sports performance.
48. What does the underlined word “flawed” probably mean in paragraph 3?
A. Interesting. B. Imperfect. C. Common. D. Diffcult.
49. What does Maier say about DNA fitness tests?
A. They can be an informative tool.
B. They may lead to confusing results.
C. They work better for professional athletes.
D. They go against traditional training methods.
50. What are children probably advised to do by Caulfeld?
A. Follow genetic test advice. B. Balance study and exercise.
C. Explore genetic science further. D. Take up interest-based activities.
【答案】46. C 47. C 48. B 49. A 50. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要讲述了基因检测越来越受欢迎,但是基因检测的结果并不一定能够决定一个人的成功与否。
46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Increasingly, people are interested in exploring how their genes may be influencing their fitness, diet, physical abilities, and injury risk.(越来越多的人对探索他们的基因如何影响他们的健康、饮食、体能和受伤风险感兴趣)”可知,人们想了解基因是为了了解基因对他们的健康的影响。故选C。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“There’s no doubt that genes matter, but the question is how much?(毫无疑问基因是重要的,但是问题是有多重要)”以及“Even when you look at Olympic-level long jumpers, who need highly explosive(爆发的) movements, not all of them have the gene. (即使你看奥运会级的跳远运动员,他们需要高度爆发的运动,也不是所有人都有这种基因)”可知,基因不一定是决定运动员天赋的唯一因素。故选C。
【48题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句““While the genetic tests are probably correct, the science behind how the companies are explaining the results can be flawed,”said Dr. Dylan Mackay, an assistant professor. (助理教授迪伦·麦凯(Dylan Mackay)博士说,“虽然基因测试可能是正确的,但这些公司解释结果的科学依据可能flawed。”)”以及下文 “A lot of times these tests are based on connections rather than controlled experiments that look for cause and effect (很多时候,这些测试是基于联系,而不是寻找因果关系的受控实验)”可知,有些科学一句可能是有缺陷的,因为它们大多是基于联系而非因果关系。因此猜测flawed的意思是“有缺陷的,不完美的”。故选B。
【49题详解】

阅读表达
Jamie, 16, was on his way to the store when he noticed a stranger sitting alone on the edge of a bridge.
“I was just on my way to the American sweet shop to buy some drinks, when I saw this guy in his 30s sitting on the edge of the bridge,” he told Humans of Dublin. “I just thought, ‘wow.’”I stopped and asked him if he was OK, but I knew from the look in his eyes that he wasn’t, and he didn’t say anything, either, but I saw tears coming from his eyes. I begged him for a while to come down and sit on the steps, and eventually he did. Over the next 45 minutes, Jamie listened attentively as the stranger shared his burdens.
“We sat on the sidewalk on the south side of the Liffey and talked for about 45 minutes, about what was happening to him, why he was feeling that way... I couldn’t leave him there alone, but I had to go, so I was going to ring an ambulance,” Jamie recalled. “I told him they could help him feel better. But he was like’Please, please don’t call them. I’m fine. I just want to walk around for a while... I’m goanna be OK!’”
The man eventually accepted Jamie’s request and was taken to a hospital. Before bidding farewell, the two exchanged phone numbers.
Jamie continued, “And about three months ago, he texted me that his wife was pregnant, they were having a son, and they were naming him after me.
Can you believe that? They’ re going to name their child after me. He said in that moment when I approached him, he was just about to jump, and those few words saved his life. They’ re still ringing in his head every day. ‘Are you OK?’
I can’t really understand how these few words could save his life, but he told me, ‘Imagine if nobody ever asked you those words.?’”

考查细节理解。根据第二段中“I was just on my way to the American sweet shop to buy some drinks, when I saw this guy in his 30s sitting on the edge of the bridge(我正要去一家美国糖果店买饮料,突然看到一个30多岁的家伙坐在桥边)”可知,Jamie正打算去买些饮料,这时他看见了那个男人,故答案为He was going to buy some drinks.
【52题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据划线词前“The man eventually accepted Jamie’s request and was taken to a hospital.(这名男子最终接受了Jamie的请求,并被送往医院)”和后文“the two exchanged phone numbers(两人交换了电话号码)”可知,这名男子被送往医院,两人应是就此告别,告别前两人交换了电话号码,bidding farewell意为“说再见”,故答案为Saying good-bye./Good-bye.
【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“He said in that moment when I approached him, he was just about to jump, and those few words saved his life. They’ re still ringing in his head every day. ‘Are you OK?’(他说在我靠近他的那一刻,他正要跳下去,这几句话救了他的命。这些声音每天都在他的脑海里回响。‘你还好吗?’)”可知,Jamie说的“Are you OK?”救了那个想跳河的男人,也可理解为是Jamie的关心和善良救了他,故答案为The words “Are you OK?”./Jamie’s care about him./Jamie’s kind words./Jamie’s kind act./Jamie’s kindness.

【55题详解】
考查开放题型。根据第二段中“I stopped and asked him if he was OK, but I knew from the look in his eyes that he wasn’t, and he didn’t say anything, either, but I saw tears coming from his eyes. I begged him for a while to come down and sit on the steps, and eventually he did. Over the next 45 minutes, Jamie listened attentively as the stranger shared his burdens.(我停下来问他是否还好,但从他的眼神中我知道他不太好,他也没说什么,但我看到泪水从他的眼睛里流出来。我恳求他下来坐在台阶上,他终于答应了。在接下来的45分钟里,Jamie全神贯注地听着陌生人分担他的负担)”和第三段中“I couldn’t leave him there alone, but I had to go, so I was going to ring an ambulance(我不能把他一个人留在那里,但我必须走,所以我要打电话叫救护车)”可知,Jamie很有爱心,因为他能注意到那个人的问题,倾听他的意见,送他去医院,最后救了那个人的命。/因为他救了一个人的命和他的家人。故答案为I think Jamie is caring/kind/warm-hearted/helpful/considerate/thoughtful, because he could notice the man’s problem, listen to him , send him to hospital and finally saved the man’s life./because he saved a man’s life and the man’s family.

【答案】Dear Jason,
How are things going? I’m glad to tell you about the variety of club activities we have at our school! We offer a wide range of clubs, including sports, music, art, science, and language clubs.
In my opinion, taking part in club activities is essential for personal growth and making friends. It provides a great opportunity to learn teamwork, leadership, and communication skills outside of the classroom.
I have chosen to join the English club because I am passionate about improving my language skill. Being part of this club helps me to express myself better and connect with others who share similar interests.
I would love to invite you to visit my school and experience these club activities firsthand. It would be great to have you join us and see how much fun we have!
