阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
“God, please don’t let anything happen today that I can’t settle.”
This was my daily __11___ during my first year of teaching. Some of the kids in my room had real
12
. I didn’t know how to
13
the disrespect, the trash talk, or the “he said—she said” conflicts that took hours to unravel(拆开. It seemed like these kids needed a social worker---or 14
a teacher with more mettle(斗志) than I.
15
desperation I clamped down(压制).
16
it didn’t help. I felt like I was failing. I soon
17
going to work, just as many of the kids seemed to hate being at school.
There was a Burger King across the street from the school. One day, a(n)
18
occurred to me.
19
I took my students out to eat? Maybe that would
20
the trust and goodwill that our classroom
21
.
So the next day I made a(n)
22
.
“Every Friday from now on, I’m going to take one student to lunch at Burger King. Every week, I’ll randomly
23
a name. By the end of the year, everyone will have had a
24
.”
Students sat up with interest as I picked the first name. I got the feeling that many of them didn’t go out to eat very often---
25
to a fast food place. Maybe this was a
good idea. After the first outing, I was sure of it. It had been fun, and everyone---
26
me--- needed some fun in life.
The month went on. Every Friday, the chosen student and I chatted over hamburgers, fries and Cokes. I
27
discussed behavior during those lunches, choosing instead to focus on family, hobbies, and friends.
In fact, not much changed with many of my students. But
28
the same time ,I’m glad for what I did so. Maybe that trip to Burger King meant something to the kids whose mom yelled at him that morning, or the kid who usually ate
29
, or the kid whose family couldn’t afford to buy him a two-dollar kid’s meal.
30
now, eighteen years later, I’m pleased that I tried.

第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。(共20小题,每题2分,共40分)
A
What will people die of 100 years from now?If you think that is a simple question,you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology.With the help of new medicine,the human body will last a very long time.Death will come mainly from accidents,murder and war.Today’s leading killers,such as heart disease,cancer,and aging itself,will become distant memories.
In discussion of technological changes,the Internet gets most of the attention these days.But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times.How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death.Cells are the basic units of all living things,and until recently,scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells,such as those of brain cells,would not last forever.But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine.Sometime between 2050 and 2100,medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so,people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs(器官).The medicine,made up of the basic building materials of life,will build new brain cells,heart cells,and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence,but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.31. According to the passage,human death is now mainly caused by _______.
A. diseases and aging
B. accidents and war
C.accidents and aging
D.heart disease and war
32. In the author’s opinion the most important technology lies in__________
A. medicine
B. the internet
C. brain cells
D. human organs
33. Humans may live longer in the future because______________
A. heart disease will be far away from us
B. human brain can decide the final death
C. the basic materials of cells will last forever
D. human organs can be repaired by new medicine
34. We can learn from the passage that___________.
A. human life will last more than 120 years in the future
B. humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells now
C. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life
D. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells
B
Erica David lives in Pinedale,Wyoming,USA,where winter can bring temperatures
of below 35 degrees Fahrenheit,howling winds,and a lot of snow.So it was just natural that she chose to study snow for her school science fair in the sixth grade.
Now a junior in high school,Erica is in her sixth year of snow experiments,and is well on her way to becoming a snow expert.She started with a basic question:Could snow fences be built to work better?
Snow fences are used to keep snowdrifts(雪堆)from covering areas like roads of train tracks,or to help build up snow where it can help with water shortages in spring when it melts(融化).“Also,I wanted to protect my animals better from blowing snow,”says Erica,who raises goats,sheep,and pigs.
Before she could test fence designs,Erica had to figure out what would act like real snow in her experiments. “I tested flour, sugar, and salt before I settled on dishwasher powder , ”she explains.
Science fairs offer students the chance to test theories, present findings to judges, and meet other researchers. Erica’s many achievements include competing at the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge for middle school students and the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, where students from around the world present their science research.
But perhaps the best reward is that her research is already being put to good use. She has come up with an improved snow fence design, and this year she’s helping
think out how to provide water supply to native plants, which have been killed off by drilling at nearby natural gasfields.
“Science fairs are an amazing experience,”says Erica. “Just pick your true feeling and go for it. ”
35. What does the passage suggest to us?
A. Science fairs are held for high school students in America.
B. Erica is the youngest show expert well known in America.
C. The environment brought much convenience for Erica to study snow.
D. The hope to contribute to her hometown made Erica experiment on snow.
36. In Erica’s hometown, snow fences may play a part in ________.
a. reducing the harm blowing snow does to animals
b. supplying water resource to the nearby gas fields
c. making up for the lack of water resource.
d. keeping the traffic smooth
A. a,b,c B. a,b,d C. b,c,d D. a,c,d
37. Science fairs are attractive to students because they ________.
A. can have their research put into practical use
B. can have their scientific ideas tested out
C. are allowed to help protect the local wildlife
D. can learn about the most advanced technology
38. Which of the following material can best replace snowing in Erica’s experiment?
A. Flour. B. Sugar. C. Salt. D. Dishwasher powder.
C
If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and ,as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brains volumes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.
Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with thinking and feeling, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls task like eating and breathing, does not contract (萎缩) with age.
Contraction of front and side parts, as cells ( 细胞 ) die off, was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction—using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those with least possibility, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White- collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.39. The team of doctors wanted to find out_______.
A. how to make people live longer
B. how to slow down the speed of getting old
C. the size of certain people’s brains
