19、d ChairLast summer, Katie Steller was on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man, in his 60s,looking out of luck, was sitting alone. She rolled down her window.“Hey!” she shouted.“ Im driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?”The man, missing a few teeth, p
20、aused and laughed. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral(葬礼)to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”Then, Steller unloaded a red chair from the car. The man, named Edward, took a seat. As Steller was cutting his curly graying hair, he told her about growing up in Mississippi, abou
21、t moving to Minnesota, and how he still talked to his mom over phone every day.To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. They are all living on the margins, and she is aware of the power of her work.“Its more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it to be a gateway, t
22、o show value and respect, but also to get to know people.”Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers: As a teen, she suffered from ulcerative colitis(溃疡性结肠炎)that was so serious, her hair thinned severely. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Stellers first professional haircut.
23、“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says.After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way shed felt that day. Not long after finishing co
24、smetology school(美容学校)in 2016,she realized her dream. Two years later, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets.Steller said, “I cant fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.” Steller listens to peoples stories of lo
25、ss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet.An offshoot of the Red Chair Project is the Steller Kindness Project, in which people who commit acts of kindness are invited for a free makeover(美容)at Stellers salon. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares on her website. Her
26、 hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will be inspired to do their own.So far, its working.“You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give to them, ”says Steller.24. Edward agreed to have a haircut by Steller because_.A. he wanted to talk with Steller about h
27、is lifeB. he wanted to look good for a special occasionC. he was too old to go to a hair salon by himselfD. he was just waiting for a free haircut on the street25.

To collect moving stories for Stellers website.CGENETIC testing cannot tell teachers anything useful about an individual pupils educational ach
30、ievement. That is the conclusion of a study that looked at how well so-called polygenic（多基因的） scores for education predict a persons educational achievements, based on a long-term study of thousands of people in the UK. “Some people with a very low genetic score are very high performers at age 16. S
31、ome are even in the top 3 percent,” says Tim Morris at the University of Bristol, UK.And while Morris expects the accuracy of polygenic scores for educational achievements to improve, he doesnt think they will ever be good enough to predict how well an individual will do. Even relatively simple qual
32、ities such as height are influenced by thousands of genetic variants, each of which may only have a tiny effect. It has been claimed that polygenic scores can be used to make useful predictions, such as a persons likelihood of developing various diseases. One company is even offering embryo screenin
33、g (screening of an unborn baby in the very stages of development) based on polygenic scores for disease risk.Some researchersnotably Robert Plomin of Kings College Londonthink that schools should start using polygenic scores for educational achievement. In most cases, the scores may reflect qualitie
34、s such as persistence as well as intelligence.To assess the usefulness of polygenic scores in education, Morris and his colleagues calculated them for 8,000 people in Bristol who are part of a long-term study known as the Children of the 90s. The participants genomes have been queued and their acade
35、mic results are available to researchers. Among other things, the team found a correlation of 0.4 between a persons polygenic score and their exam results at age 16. But there would need to be a correlation of at least 0.8 to make useful predictions about individuals, says Morris.Plomin, however, ar
36、gues that the results support his opinion. “A correlation of 0.4 makes it the strongest polygenic predictor in the behavioural sciences,” says Plomin. “Its so much stronger than a lot of other things we base decisions on. So its a very big finding.”Morris says schools already have access to other pr
37、edictors that are more accurate, such as a pupils earlier test results. Looking at parents educational achievements is also a better predictor of a pupils academic results than studying their genome, his results show. Providing teachers with an extra predictor based on genetics would just confuse ma
38、tters, says Morris, and the cost cannot be justified.28. In paragraph 2, Morris talks about “height” in order to tell readers that _.A. some qualities are hardly affected by any genetic variantsB. some qualities are influenced by thousands of genetic variantsC. genetic scores are useful in predictin
39、g ones potential diseasesD. genetic scores can help children improve their scores at school29. How did Morris prove the effect of polygenetic scores in education?A. By providing opposite examples.B. By explaining how the genome works.C. By listing findings from another scientist. D. By presenting fa
40、cts and data from research.30. According to Plomin, a correlation of 0.4 is reliable because it is _.A. useful in telling you how intelligent and persistent children areB. useful in predicting people who might struggle academicallyC. stronger compared to other factors in behavioural sciencesD. stron

42、me home after viewing some amazing works of art that were recently discovered in Church Hole Gave in Nottinghamshire. They are not drawings but etchingsshapes cut into the rockand they describe different kinds of wild animals.First of all, the number is great: there are 90 in all. Moreover, 58 of th
43、em are on the ceiling (天花板). This is quite unusual in cave art, according to Dr. Wilbur Samson of Central Midlands University. “Wall pictures are the usual way,” he says. “The Church Hole etchings are an artistic achievement. It was thought that ice-age hunters in this country were separated from th
44、ose in central areas of Europe, but the Church Hole etchings proved that they were actually part of a way of living, thinking and seeing the world that had spread right across Europe.”News of such exciting discoveries spreads quickly, and thanks to the Internet and mobile phones, a great many people
45、 have known about this discovery. However, an examination of the etchings last year failed to show the presence of them. The reason lay in the expectations of the researchers. They looked for the usual type of cave drawings, which show up best under direct light. So they used powerful torches (火炬),
46、shining them straight onto the rock face. However, the Church Hole etchings are not drawings on the rocks, like the other cave ones. They are modifications of the rock itself and cant be easily made out. They show up best when seen from a certain direction in the natural light of early morning.Dr. S
47、amson feels that the lighting factor provides important information about the function of these works of art. I think the artists knew very well that the etchings would hardly be seen except early in the morning. We can decide that the cave was used for important events like animal worship (祭拜), and
48、 that they were conducted just after dawn, as the beginning of the days hunting. To which I can only add that I feel very lucky to have been able to view Church Hole. It is a site of great importance culturally and is part of the traditional values, not only of this country, but the world as a whole
49、.32. What is the significance of the etchings in Church Hole Cave?A. They show the existence of an ice-age culture.B. They describe a more advanced life of Europeans.C. They prove that ancient people hunted in large areas.D. They indicate that fewer people settled in central Europe.33. According to
50、the passage, _.A. the methods taken to protect the etchings are uselessB. the etchings are various from the usual cave paintingsC. the discovery of the etchings should not be made publicD. many people visited the cave within hours of its discovery34. What does the underlined word “modifications” in
51、Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Small changes.B. Free gifts.C. Good examples.D. Different areas.35. What does Dr. Samson state from the lighting factor?A. The search took place at the wrong place of the cave.B. The artists never planned to let the etchings seen by others.C. The torches people used in t
52、he examination were too bright.D. The etchings were intended to be seen at a certain time of day.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。French Universities to Offer More Classes in EnglishFrance aims to bring more foreign students to its universities by offering more classes
