A

Many of the world's most well-known people were once successful failures. Here are the stories of a few of them.

Abraham Lincoln(1809-1865)

Abraham Lincoln was one of America's greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War(from 1860 to 1865). However, his life was never easy. He started numerous businesses that failed. He went bankrupt twice, and was defeated in 26 campaigns for public office. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure. ”

Vincent Van Gogh(1853-1890)

Van Gogh is one of the most famous and influential painters in the history of Western Art. He's renowned for paintings such as TheStarryNight, ThePotatoEaters and Sunflowers. However, during his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting for a very small amount of money. Despite this, he carried on painting, sometimes even going without food so he could complete his collection of over 800 known works.

Albert Einstein(1879-1955)

Albert Einstein won the Noble Prize in Physics in 1921. However, he wasn't always considered as a “genius”. He didn't speak until he was four, and couldn't read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he was slow, so he was expelled from school and couldn't get into the Zurich Polytechnic School. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress. ”

Stephen King(born 1947)

Stephen King is one of the best-selling authors of all time, but his first book,  Carrie, was rejected by about 30 publishers. Eventually, Stephen threw it in the bin,  but his wife fished it out and encouraged him to resubmit it, which he did successfully this time!

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.

Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of sharing the secret of Nature.

Some people, however, take no interest in country things：for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight's (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.

25. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city.
B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country.
C. Some people who work in London prefer to live inside London.
D. Many people who work in London prefer to live outside London.

26. One can use the same money for buying a little house with a garden in the country to ________.

A. get a small flat with a garden in London
B. have a small flat with a garden in London
C. rent a small flat without a garden in London
D. buy a small flat without a garden in London

27. When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, who has the reward of sharing the secret of Nature?

A. Those who live in the country.
B. Those who have a garden of their own.
C. Those who have spent time working in the garden.
D. Those who have been digging, planting and watering.

28. What would people who think happiness lies in the town feel if they had to live it outside London?

A. Their life was meaningless.
B. Their life was invaluable.
C. They didn't deserve a happy life.
D. They were not worthy of their happy life.

C

The ground we walk on seems firm, but deep under the earth and under the sea the rocks change and move. In some parts of the world there are “fire mountains”， which we call volcanoes. From time to time they burst open and throw out fire and burning ashes. These volcanoes are very dangerous.

          Hong Kong does not have any volcanoes but there are many volcanoes in Indonesia and Philippines. There is also a famous mountain near Tokyo, Japan, which is a volcano too. Its name is Mount Fuji. For much of the year it is covered with snow.

          One of the most famous volcanoes which erupted in recent times was Krakatoa, on an island in Indonesia. The first explosions took place on 20th May, 1883, but the biggest eruption did not come until the 26th and 27th August of that year. The people on the island were used to the explosions by that time, and so they were completely unprepared for this terrible happening. Almost all the people on the island died and the explosion also made huge waves in the sea, which drowned (淹死) many people on the other island nearby. After the eruption was over, people saw that the whole northern part of the island had completely disappeared. Scientists say that 15 cubic (立方) kilometres of rocks and ash were thrown up in the explosion. The noise of the explosion was heard nearly 5,000 kilometres away in the middle of the Indian Ocean, and the city of Jakarta was completely dark for about two and a half hours.

29. There are many volcanoes ________.

A. everywhere in the world
B. under the earth and the sea
C. in Hong Kong
D. in Indonesia

30. The people near Krakatoa were unprepared when it had its biggest explosions because people there ________.

A. had never met any explosions of the volcano before
B. were used to the explosions by that time
C. didn't want to leave their island
D. could do nothing but wait

31. People who lived 5,000 kilometres away from Krakatoa could ________.

A. see that the 15 cubic kilometres of rocks and ash were thrown up
B. hear the noise of the explosion
C. see the huge waves
D. see that Krakatoa was dark

32. The biggest explosion made ________.

A. all the people on the island die
B. the whole island disappear
C. the city of Jakarta completely dark for about two and a half hours
D. huge waves in the middle of the Indian Ocean

Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.

Genetic engineering was used to introduce the "mothers' milk" genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.

As an adult, the cloned cow "will produce milk that is similar to that of humans", which will prove "a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants(婴儿)," said the institute. "The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk," said the statement.

In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of humans.

 "Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows' milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants," said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.

Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said that the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had refused the "honour" of having the cow named after her. "They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita."

33.What is the passage mainly about?           

A. The importance of genetic engineering.
B. Ways to improve mothers' milk.
C. Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.
D. A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.

34. Which of the following can best replace "more closely resemble" in Para. 4?           

A. Have more varieties than.
B. Have more nutrition than.
C. Be more similar to.
D. Be more different from.

35. What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner's statements?           

A. She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.
B. She considered it an honour to name the special cow.
C. She felt it improper to be named after the cow.
D. She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.

How Fit Are Young Teens?

How often do you exercise? A new study finds that most kids ages 12 to 15 aren't getting enough physical activity.   36  

U.S. fitness guidelines recommend (推荐) an hour or more of physical activity every day. According to the study, only 1 in 4 U.S. kids meet the recommendation. Few kids in the survey met the guidelines for physical activity that raises the heart rate and makes you breathe harder. However, most of those kids said they did at least an hour of exercise at that level during the previous week.   37  

The study found fat teens were less active than normal-weight girls and boys. Overweight girls were slightly less active than normal-weight girls.   38  

“There's always room for improvement,” said health expert Tala.   39   She also said the results provide useful information to help with fitness campaigns such as Let's Move, which was launched by First Lady Michelle Obama. To inspire kids to eat right and get in shape, the First Lady visits schools and holds exercise events. She also calls on schools to offer regular gym classes.

The research suggests kids who get physical education may get better grades.   40  

A. It's concerning.

B. She is an expert on children's health.

C. She was the lead author of the study.

D. The results are based on about 800 kids.

E. Schools should give kids more time for physical activity.

F. But levels were similar among overweight and normal-weight boys.

G. Overall, about 25% said they got an hour of that kind of difficult exercise every day.

In American culture, you may find some very sensitive topics that require you to think again before you put them forward. They are as follows:

Age. It is a very sensitive  41  to many Americans. In this culture, the thought of growing older is a painful one and most of us, if  42   , would like to have nothing to do with it. So many Americans work hard to  43  a youthful appearance. The last thing they want to be asked is the unthinkable, “How old are you exactly?”

This question may result in a(an)  44   like: “How old do you think I am?” Anyhow, if you are  45  to know someone’s age, first you estimate（估计）their age by their  46   .  Then you take ten years away from that estimation. With a big  47   , that person will probably say, “Thanks, but I am a few years older than that.”

Weight. This is one of the most sensitive subjects. In America, it is    48  to be thin but it is a huge  49  to be overweight. In any American fashion magazines, you’ll notice most are nothing more than skin and bones.

Income. You should never ever ask how  50  someone’s  51 is. However, it’s perfectly   52   to ask about their job title and what they do for a living. This information should give you some idea.

Matters of the Heart. This is a tricky （难处理的） one. Some people cannot wait to   53  their hearts out to you. Then there are those who make sure their  54   business stays behind closed doors.

Anyhow, it's difficult to always  59  an embarrassing conversation. So, be sensible, 60  your mouth and try not to open a can of worms （虫子）.
