31．（8分）Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.Sir John Gurdon is﹣a good example of this.As a boy，he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class.Now，aged 79，the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in 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（毅力） can lead.
When he was 15 in 1948，Gurdon ranked last oat of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject.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（批评），Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard.He went to the lab early 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 1962，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 of the adult frog.This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996，the first cloned mammal 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 this way，doctors can repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.
"Luck favors the prepared mind，"Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization."Ninety percent of the time things don't work，but when they do，you shouldn't miss the chance."

33．（8分）It's said that too much of a good thing is a bad thing，and that of course can be connected to homework.While a few after﹣school tasks can review lessons taught in class，research has shown that middle and high school kids are often given lots of unhealthy homework.As such，they experience increased levels of stress，have a hard time sleeping，and struggle（挣扎）in school.

Bom in 1976，Zhang was the （2）y of seven children of a poor family in a village in Shanxi.He gave up his education after finishing middle school （3）a the family was unable to afford his tuition（学费），and he tried different jobs.Later，18﹣year﹣old Zhang decided to（4）I his hometown and see the wider world，and he became a guard at PKU.However，life as a guard was not （5）e .For lack of education，he met with many setbacks（挫折）.He started to use his（6）s time to study.His efforts were noticed by one professor.She allowed him to take her classes and encouraged him to prepare for the college entrance examination."

七、阅读短文，回答问题（本题共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）
42．（10分）With their long tusks（象牙），elephants look strong.However，it is this feature that makes the animal endangered.Many of them are killed for their tusks.People make elephant tusks into crafts（工艺品） and jewelry and sell them to rich people.
But can these priceless body parts grow back？The answer is no，Live Science said.The elephants'tusks are actually part of their teeth.Nearly all African elephants and most male Asian elephants have these long teeth.About one﹣third of the tusk is in the animal's skull（头骨）.The tusk has a nerve（神经） running down its center.This makes it similar to your teeth.Once you lose a tooth，you will never grow a new one.
Elephants use their tusks to protect themselves.lift things，aig water and gather food.But losing the tusk will not kill them.The way in which they lose the tusk is what matters.Usually，people get tusks by culling（限量捕杀），which means killing old and weak elephants.They also take tusks from the elephants that have died naturally.
However，these sources aren't enough to keep up with the demand for ivory.Therefore，some poachers（偷猎者） kill healthy elephants and cut their faces open to remove the tusks.About 27，000 elephants are killed by poachers each year，according to National Geographic.
As a result of poaching，some African elephants gradually evolved（进化） without tusks，which has allowed them to survive.In Mozambique，about 90 percent of African elephants were killed for their tusks and meat from 1975 to 1992，National Geographic reported.
Scientists found that about a third of younger females—the generation born after 1992—never developed tusks.

（1）What do people make elephants tusks into？
（2）How many things can elephants use their tusks to do according to the passage？
（3）How do poachers remove tusks from healthy elephants？
（4）What did some African elephants do in order to survive？
（5）As students，what do you think we can do to protect elephants？（请自拟一句话回答）

31．（8分）Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.Sir John Gurdon is﹣a good example of this.As a boy，he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class.Now，aged 79，the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in 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（毅力） can lead.
When he was 15 in 1948，Gurdon ranked last oat of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject.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（批评），Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard.He went to the lab early 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 1962，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 of the adult frog.This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996，the first cloned mammal 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 this way，doctors can repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.
"Luck favors the prepared mind，"Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization."Ninety percent of the time things don't work，but when they do，you shouldn't miss the chance."

（1）Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine？ C
A.Sir John Gurdon.
B.Shinya Yamanaka.
C.Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka.
D.Gurdon's science teacher.
（2）What does the underlined word"ridiculous"mean？ D
A.无知的.
B.无畏的.
C.荒废的.
D.荒谬的.
（3）According to the passage，which statement is TRUE？ D
A.As a boy，he was told 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.
（4）What's the main idea of the passage？ B
A.Ninety percent of the time things don't work.
B.Luck favors the prepared mind.
C.Life is full of pleasure.
D.How to know cells actually work.
【分析】文章主要介绍一位诺贝尔医学奖获得者John Gurdon，他在小时候受尽质疑，但是凭借着不放弃、勇往直前的精神最终获得成功。告诉我们生活充满惊喜，你永远不知道事情会怎样发展。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据文中：Now，aged 79，the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell researcher Shinya Yamanaka．（现在，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。）可知，79岁的Gurdon和日本干细胞研究者Shinya Yamanaka共同获得2012年诺贝尔医学奖。"故选C。
（2）词义猜测题。根据文中：At the age of 15 in 1948，Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject.（他在生物等理科课程方面的成绩在高中是250个男生中的最后一名。）可知，老师说他做科学家的梦想应是"滑稽的，荒谬的"。故选D。
（3）细节理解题。根据文中：In spite of his teacher's criticisms，Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard.（他不管老师的看法，依旧跟随自己的好奇心坚持努力工作。）可知，John不管老师的看法，依旧努力工作。故选D。
（4）主旨大意题。根据文中：Luck favors the prepared mind.（机会留给有准备的人。）可知"机会总是留给有准备的人"，尽管很多工作没有结果，但只有那样，当机会来临时我们才能抓住它。同时全篇也都描写了主人公为实现梦想所做的各种努力，有准备才会成功，故选B。

【解答】细节理解题。
（1）根据第三段Red is a hot and strong color.It can make the heart beat faster.It is also the color of love.（红色是一种炽热而强烈的颜色。它可以使心跳加快。它也是爱的颜色。）可知，红色是一种热情的和强烈的颜色.它可以使心跳加快，它也是爱的颜色。故选B。

（5）句意：我深信当你在那里遇到那么多幽默的人时，你会享受这次聚会的。分析句子并结合所给选项可知，这里指的是：享受、喜欢聚会，用enjoy；又根据句子前后部分可知，这里应该用一般将来时，也就是will enjoy。故填：will enjoy。

七、阅读短文，回答问题（本题共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）
42．（10分）With their long tusks（象牙），elephants look strong.However，it is this feature that makes the animal endangered.Many of them are killed for their tusks.People make elephant tusks into crafts（工艺品） and jewelry and sell them to rich people.
But can these priceless body parts grow back？The answer is no，Live Science said.The elephants'tusks are actually part of their teeth.Nearly all African elephants and most male Asian elephants have these long teeth.About one﹣third of the tusk is in the animal's skull（头骨）.The tusk has a nerve（神经） running down its center.This makes it similar to your teeth.Once you lose a tooth，you will never grow a new one.
Elephants use their tusks to protect themselves.lift things，aig water and gather food.But losing the tusk will not kill them.The way in which they lose the tusk is what matters.Usually，people get tusks by culling（限量捕杀），which means killing old and weak elephants.They also take tusks from the elephants that have died naturally.
However，these sources aren't enough to keep up with the demand for ivory.Therefore，some poachers（偷猎者） kill healthy elephants and cut their faces open to remove the tusks.About 27，000 elephants are killed by poachers each year，according to National Geographic.
As a result of poaching，some African elephants gradually evolved（进化） without tusks，which has allowed them to survive.In Mozambique，about 90 percent of African elephants were killed for their tusks and meat from 1975 to 1992，National Geographic reported.
Scientists found that about a third of younger females—the generation born after 1992—never developed tusks.

（1）What do people make elephants tusks into？ Crafts and jewelry.
（2）How many things can elephants use their tusks to do according to the passage？ Four.
（3）How do poachers remove tusks from healthy elephants？ By cutting their faces open.
（4）What did some African elephants do in order to survive？ They gradually evoloed without tusks.
（5）As students，what do you think we can do to protect elephants？（请自拟一句话回答） We can avoid buying crafts and jewelry made of elephant tusks because"No Sell，No Kill".
