Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific 36 . I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my 37 . “All great discoveries,” he said, “are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.” Being a little over thirty myself, I wanted to 38 with him. Nobody wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I

happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking 39 the ages of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was 40 . First I looked at some of the 41 discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the 42 experiment that proved that bodies of different weight fall at the same speed, was make by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that 43 to the Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he 44 his world-changing theory of relativity. Well, enough of that. Yet I 45 if those “best years” were true in other 46 . Then how about the field of 47 ? Surely it needs the wisdom of 48 to make a good leader.

But 51 don’t best years come after thirty? After thirty, I 52 , most people do not want to take risks or try 53 ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, 54 the latter was still trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and machines are being developed every day to extend life. However, some people, including some doctors, are not in favor of these life extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They saw that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊严) and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite answer.

56、The best title for this passage is _____.

A. The Right to Live B. The Right to Die

C. The Doctor’s Duty D. Life Is Better Than Death 57、In recent years, people can live longer than in the past. It’s because of _____ . A. the development of medical technology B. big hospitals C. good doctors D. both B and C

58、According to some people whether a dying patient has the right to die or not is up to ___________ .

A. the doctors B. the surroundings

C. his or her family D. the patient himself or herself 59、In the writer’s opinion _____ .

A. death is better than life B. life is better that death C. neither death nor life is good D. none of the above

B

Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified (GM, 转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?

Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any crop. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report that analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.

Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides (杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops

in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. \"The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true.\" said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition.

At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.

As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which \"green\" farming is supposed to be the first choice.

60. The author develops the second paragraph mainly ________. A. by classification B. by comparison C. by example D. by process

61. What does the underlined word \"boost\" in the third paragraph probably mean?

A. Control. B. Evaluate C. Obtain. D. Increase. 62. GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ________. A. practicing \"green\" farming B. use of less chemicals

C. fair distribution of their crops D. using more crops for fuel

63. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?

A. Optimistic. B. Defensive. C. Disapproving. D. Casual.

C

If you have a little child , who hates sitting in a child seat, then the FreedomRide is the answer to your problem/

Would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time you’re in the car? No. You Wouldn’t!

When an adult, sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, we move our legs, and shift constantly. We do this automatically, and without thinking. But kids in a traditional car seat can’t do this. They are stuck in one position, and they can’t move. We move because the circulation(循环) of blood needs to be restored in our legs as we sit in the same position for any extended length of time.

In a traditional car seat, the child can’t move to reduce the pain, so it pts them in a bad mood.

The FreedomRide lets them have a little freedom, and still be safe. The 5-point

Harness give them additional safety over a traditional child car seat.

I am the Webmaster for islandbreeze.com, and when JoeySafe asked us to redo their web site, I was attracted by this system. That is because I have two small children, both girls, age 3 and 4 and we obviously, use car seats. I lived in Southern California, and every couple of months, my wife, the girls and I, go to see grandma who lives in Nevada. It’s a 5-hour drive, so the FreedomRide works well. Our trips are so much better now, especially, since there is more room in the car without the car seats.

The FreedomRide really did make it easier to go on trips. The only thing you need when you use the Joeysafe instead of your old child seat is a pillow. Besides, mu kids want to take a pillow anyway! As a dad, I feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide. I am a very safety oriented(导向的) person. . From the text we can infer the FreedomRide is a _________

A. car seat B. car for children C. safety belt D. game on islandbreeze.com

65. This text may be taken from _______.

A. a story B. an introduction C. a science report D. an advertisement

66. The purpose of the last two paragraph may be ________. A. to support the topic of the child safety

B. to describe the advantage of the FreedomRide

C. to introduce the detail of the author’s work and web D. to describe what the author does with his child car seat 67. The FreedomRide is likely to be designed for ________. A. a person hating sitting in the car for long B. an adult who often drives a traditional car C. a child requiring some freedom in the car D. a driver whose car has no seats within at all

As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did. In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.

On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. \"Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route,\" he used to say, “and a story at every one. \" One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she

第一好题网----免费试题、教案、课件下载

第一好题网（www.1haoti.com）--中小学教学资源共享平台

was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.

Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read, \"Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs. \" Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $ 32,000.

A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death, the mailboxes

along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the ease.

As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.

I made a turn at the comer and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's

postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.

At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. \"What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas?\" he asked. \"The letters?\"

\"I guess you never knew. \" \" Knew what?\"

\"Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year. \"

I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn't hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.

For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime. 68. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as . 第一好题网----免费试题、教案、课件下载
