     LaShenda Williams was a woman who had been sleeping in a parking lot for a year. It was

a pity that she had been battling alcohol addiction and had been spending the nights in her car

at a Nashville Kroger after driving around different locations during the day. Williams was re-

ally poor, and she would lean her seat in the car all the way back so that no one would see her

because she wasn't supposed to be there.

     At the end of last year, Jackie Vandal, a hiring manager at a Kroger grocery store, noticed Williams and encouraged her to attend an upcoming job fair. With some help from Vandal, Williams spent a few hours filling out the application. Once Vandal saw the message indicating she had successfully applied, Vandal hired her on the spot.

     It became a great day! Williams was brimming with happiness and smiled from ear to ear. From then on， she loved her work and got excited every day to come in. She couldn't wait to see the workers who she worked with. She couldn't wait to see the customers. Her positive attitude had been a blessing to the staff, too.

     Even Jackie Vandal thought that they were so lucky to have Williams as part of their team

members. Her uplifting spirit was irispiring. She had made such a positive impact on her fel-

low team members, and so many customers as well.

     Williams said it was easy to be enthusiastic after everything that had happened. She was

sleeping in a parking lot and looking for something to eat last year.  However, now，all

Williams's colleagues there love her.  No one laughs at her, and no one calls her dumb and stu-

pid. For the first time in her life, she gets peace and happiness.

24. How was LaShenda Williams's life last year?

     A. Enthusiastic and happy.                        B. Poor and hard.

     C. Peaceful but boring.                            D. Exciting but tough.

25. What happened to Williams at the end of last year?

      A. She got a job with the help of Vandal.

      B. She gained financial assistance from Vandal.

      C. She helped Vandal work for Kroger grocery store.

      D. She attended a job fair organized by a Kroger grocery store.

26. Which can take the place of the underlined word“brimming" in paragraph 3?

      A. uncovered      B. filled        C. increasing        D. relieving

27. What can we know about Williams?

      A. She made her family members enthusiastic.

      B. She won back the customers with her inspiring story.

      C. She loved her work and felt satisfied with her new life.

      D. She was so lucky that she made a good impression on customers.

      A study showed that people who develop Parkinson's disease （帕金森病) before age 50

may trace its origin before birth.  The research points to a drug that may potentially helps cor-

rect these disease processes.

     The study published in the journal Nature Medicine showed that those patients may have

been born with disordered brain cells that went undetected for decades.

     The research team from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center used special stem cells which were

generated from adult blood cells. They made those stem cells from patients into dopamine

neurons (多巴胺能神经元)， and then cultured them in a dish.  The researchers identified two

abnormalities (异常) in those dopamine neurons in the dish.  The first one is the accumulation

of a special protein which occurs in most forms of Parkinson's disease.  The second is the unu-

sual cell structures that act as“trash cans" forthe cell to break down and destroy proteins.

    “What we are seeing is the very first sign of young-occurring Parkinson's by using this

new model, " said the study's senior author Clive Svendsen with Cedars-Sinai.  ‘‘1t appears that

dopamine neurons in these individuals may continue to mishandle this special protein over a

period of 20 or 30 years, causing Parkinson's symptoms to appear.

     The investigators also used the stem cell model to test a number of drugs that might change the abnormalities they had observed. They found that one drug which was already approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating pre-cancers of the skin could reduce the levels of this special protein in both the dopamine neurons in the dish and in laboratory mice.

     The researchers are planning more research to determine whether the abnormalities the study found in neurons of Parkinson's patients also exist in other forms of Parkinson's disease.

28. What's the effect of the study?

     A. Helping cure Parkinson's disease.

     B. Helping get rid of disordered brain cells.

     C. Helping people younger than age 50 be healthy.

     D. Helping avoid Parkinson's disease.

 29. Where did researchers get special stem cells?

      A. From child blood cells.

      B. From adult blood cells.

      C. From dopamine neurons.

      D. From the dish.

 30. What can we infer from Clive Svendsen's words?

      A. The model they used is from young.

      B. The Parkinson's disease is a disease for the young.

      C. The dopamine neurons develop and grow very quickly.

      D. The Parkinson's disease may be a long process before symptoms occur.

 31. What can be a suitable title for the text?

      A. Parkinson's Disease May Start Before Birth

      B. A New Way Can Deal With Parkinson's Disease

      C. We Should Know The Effect Of Parkinson's Disease

      D. Babies Can Also Fall Into Parkinson's Disease

D

      In an experiment to track the effects of insecticide (杀虫剂) on birds in the wild, scien-

tists caught 24 sparrows as they migrated(迁徙) north from Mexico and the southern United

States to Canada.  The team fed half of those birds on a low amount of the comm only used ag-

ricultural insecticide and the other half with a slightly higher amount.  An additional 12 birds

were caught and fed on only sunflower oil. Within hours, the birds fed insecticide began to

lose weight and ate less food.  Birds given the higher amount lost 6 percent of their weight

within six hours.

     The findings suggest that insecticide, already effective in dropping bee populations, could

also reduce bird populations. There is clear evidence that since 1966, the populations of nearly

three-quarters of farmland birds have dropped.

     The researchers fed the birds with carefully measured amounts of insecticide mixed with

sunflower oil.  In the wild, birds might feed on seeds coated with insecticide. Christy Morris-

sey, a biologist at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada says. "Though the birds fed with

the insecticide continued their migration, there's still much we don't know about how repeated

exposures to the insecticide might affect a bird. "

     After observing the birds in the lab, Morrissey and colleagues tracked the birds with lightweight trackers and kept records as they continued their spring migration. The highestfed birds stayed 3. 5 days longer near the site where they were caught-possibly to recover and regain strength-than birds that weren't fed with the insecticide. Birds given the lower amount of insecticide stuck around for three days, and those which weren't fed with insecticide flew away after half a day.  Tracking the tested birds showed that they all fell behind the others in their migration.

32. Why did the researchers catch the birds?

     A. To protect them from their enemies.

     B. To study the rules of their migration.

     C. To study how insecticide influences them.

     D. To give them a complete medical examination.

33. How many birds were tested for the experiment?

     A. 12.           B. 24.          C. 36.           D. 48.

34. Which of the following may Christy agree with?

     A. People should be prevented from using insecticide.

     B. Researchers should observe the migration of birds further.

     C. More research is needed on the seeds coated with insecticide.

     D. More research is needed on the ill effects of insecticide on birds.

35. What happened to the birds fed on the insecticide?

     A. They lost the ability of flying.

     B. Their desire for food all increased greatly.

     C. They stayed 3 days where they were caught.

     D. They arrived at their migration place later than usual.

第二节  （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）

    阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

    There are two types of people in this world.  One type is like foxes,   61   other type is

like hedgehogs（刺猬）.

    A fox always   62   (know) unimportant things. Also they can do a lot of stuff that doesn't really make much difference. They are not among the top experts of any fields. But they seem to know some things in almost every field. They understand   63   dangerous and complicated the world is and they combine   64    (they) with this complicated system deeply. They often jump    65   one field to another,   66    (bring) there some sparks of new thoughts.

     On the other hand, a hedgehog knows only one important thing. They    67    (wise) in- troduce every fancy or complicated thing they meet with into the only system that they under-stand. Because of this, they are usually only involved in a   68   (limit) number of fields.

But they usually know these fields very well.

     This is just like the hedgehogs in the nature.  No matter   69   situation they come across，the only   70    (solve) they choose will be curling up（蜷曲) into a ball. This is not a clever choice, but it really works in front of most dangers.

     So, which one are you?

One of my hobbies are running.  I really like running, so first of all it's very cheap. It

doesn't cost you some money. You can do it anywhere, as example, on a city street. If you

run a lot, maybe three or four time a week, you will definite stay in shape,  After you run, it's

very important drink some water. You should drink a little the water before you run and may-

be you should drink a little as well when you run,especially if you ran for more than 30 mi-
