24、 up on a tobacco farm, Emma Avery was used to hard times. When she was seven, her familys farmhouse burned to the ground. Her father made a temporary (临时的) shelter, where eight people had to sleep in two beds. As soon as Emma and her four brothers and two sisters were big enough, they were out in th

25、e fields. Emma would find her comfort in school, even as a C student, thanks to one teacher. When she moved on to middle school, Emma was alarmingly far behind her classmates. She kept her head down, trying not to be noticed, struggling to catch up, and feeling like an outsider. Then one day, when E

26、mma was 16, a teacher named Mr. Potts changed everything. Looking his students in the eye, Mr. Potts said, Being a C student does not mean you do not have a valuable contribution to make. Some of you have to work in the fields in the evening and do not have time to study. But if you do your best, yo

27、u have a gift to give. The teachers words made Emma believe she could do well, and she worked harder. In the end she won a scholarship to St. Pauls College, graduated with a degree in elementary education in 1967, and got a job in the public-school system. Then, at George Washington University, she

28、received a masters in education in 1970, and afterwards in the same year she married Ron Smothers. Over the next six years, Emma taught in public schools in Miami. In 1976, after saving $10,000, she opened her first restaurant in Los Angeles. Eventually Emma stopped teaching, and her business expand

29、ed (扩展) to six restaurants. In gratitude (感激) for what she has been able to achieve, Emma donates a lot. She has no idea how much money shes given away. She says, Those I want to help are the C students who just need help, direction and confidence.51. The first paragraph serves to show that Emma _.

30、A. was poor and had no time to studyB. was born on a tobacco farmC. was sad to lose her house D. was kind enough to help support the family52. From the text we learn that Emma _. A. won a scholarship to George Washington UniversityB. was unsuccessful as a businesswoman C. was thankful to Mr. Potts D

31、. disliked teaching, and gave up the job53. From the second paragraph we can infer that Emma was _. A. unintelligent B. unconfident C. hard-workingD. Considerate54. The text mainly wants to tell us _. A. confidence is the first step to success B. memory of the past is the teacher of the futureC. som

32、ething attempted, something done D. nothing is impossible to a willing heart BCheektowage Central Middle School can be a lot of fun. It has game nights and student dances, after-school activities, and sports teams. However, students at the school must earn the right to join in the fun. If they dont

33、do their homework, participate in class, and behave at all times, theyre banned(禁止) from participating in after-school activities.Students and parents say the threat of being excluded(排除在外) appears to be working. Kenny T. of Reno, Nev., says it taught him that actions have consequences: “I learned t

34、hat I need to be balanced in both my work and athletics to be rewarded for working hard.” Parent Sondra LaMacchia told The New York Times that her 14-year-old daughter is learning responsibility at Cheektowaga Central. The teen used to perform poorly in her studies, but then she was banned from a sc

35、hool dance. The message got through loud and clear. “Its nobodys fault but hers,” LaMacchia said.Although exclusion may help teach responsibility, some psychologists say it can also be threatening, especially for students who often cause, or may cause, trouble in school. They might become more aggre

36、ssive and antisocial, which is exactly what schools like Cheektowaga Central want to prevent.Should schools exclude students from activities to get them to behave? I believe teens need school activities and that inclusion can be the answer. For some troubled students, activities can be their motivat

37、ion to stay in school. “Activities such as sports may be the only thing keeping certain students in school,” says Duace Wood, a teacher at Mohonasen High School in Rotterdam, N.Y. Getting involved in after-class activities keeps troublesome students in class. Even if they dont do as well as their cl

38、assmates, they are still learning. The more time they spend at school, the less time they have to even think about starting trouble. Teams also provide support and role models, and they help build the confidence that students need to succeed. If students who dont behave are banned from activities, t

39、hey might give up on school altogether.55. Paragraph 2 is developed by _. A. analyzing causes B. giving examples C. examining differences D. following the time order56.

A. students who are good at sports B. students who often cause trouble C. teens who do well in their studies D. teens who always behave themselves58. What is the authors attitud

41、e towards the schools policy of exclusion?A. Negative B. Sympathetic C. Satisfied D. Supportive CWhile you may be doing everything right, ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep you from getting a job, especially in this fierce market. Here is a checklist that covers some of the major

42、 links in the job-search chain.THE RESUME - Make sure it is up-to-date and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for. Have someone else look at your resume. If you cannot afford a career coach, give your resume to friends or family members to scrutinize. Have copies of your resume printed so

43、 that you are ready to hand them out at interviews. COVERING LETTERS-Maybe you ve set up a few basic styles in advance, but thats not enough. Each covering letter should be designed to suit the job for which you are applying.THE WARDROBE(衣橱)-Check your wardrobe to ensure that you have the appropriat

45、ine job sites isnt usually the best way to find a job. You are more likely to succeed through the people you know via networking. THE FOLLOWUP-It is quite common to apply for job and never hear back from the company. Take measures, such as following up with a phone call a week or so after you apply.

46、 If you know someone at the company, check whether that person will put in a good word for you.INTERVIEWS-If you ve got plenty of interviews but no return calls or job offers, take a look at your interviewing skills.

51、 amazed by the speed of the development of cloning. Some scientists now suggest that the cloning of humans could occur in the near future. Despite the benefits of cloning, however, certain ethical (道德的) questions concerning the possible abuse (滥用) of cloning have been raised. At the heart of these q

52、uestions is the idea of humans influencing life in a way that could harm society, either morally or in a real physical sense. Some people object to cloning because it allows scientists to act like God in the handling of living organisms. The cloning of Dolly raised the debate over this practice to a

53、 whole new level. It has become obvious that the technology for cloning Dolly could also be used to clone humans. A person could choose to make two or ten or a hundred copies of himself or herself by the same techniques used with Dolly. An active debate about the morality of cloning humans arises. S

54、ome people see benefits from the practice, such as providing a way for parents to produce a new child to replace one dying of a fatal disease. Other people worry about humans taking into their own hands the future of the human race. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, many scientists say t

55、he controversy over the ethics of cloning humans is overstressed because of the unpredictability (不可预测性) of cloning in general. While scientists have cloned animals such as sheep, mice, cows, pigs, and goats, fewer than 3 percent of all those cloning efforts have succeeded. The animal clones that ha

56、ve been produced often have health problems. Scientists believe the rapid reprogramming in cloning can introduce random (任意的) errors into a clones DNA. Those errors have altered individual genes in minor ways, and the genetic defects (缺陷) have led to the development of major medical problems. Some s

57、cientists say this should make human cloning out of the question, but others argue that cloning humans may actually be easier and safer than cloning animals. Whatever, I agree that further research in the field of cloning is needed. 62. Some people are against cloning of humans because they think _.

58、A. the practice takes too much time and moneyB. the cloning technology is still not matureC. humans control the future of the human raceD. the population in the world will be too large63. Some scientists think the debate over ethics of cloning humans is overstressed because _.A. cloning of human bei

59、ngs is completely impossibleB. the result of cloning cant be predicted in generalC. cloning of animals is a failureD. there are big errors in a clones DNA64. We can learn from the text that _. A. cloning of humans is a very controversial issueB. the cloning of Dolly begins to raise the debate over c
