15、ad learnt singing lessons since childhood. Occasionally, though, a great voice comes through untrained, a voice that is unbelievably, naturally beautiful. Mahalia Jackson had such a voice. Without having had a lesson, she was able to attract listeners with her magnificent voice that never seemed for
16、ced or pretended.Mahalia Jackson was a gospel singer. She preferred to sing the soul music or folk songs rather than popular songs or rocks. Since financial rewards didnt concern her, she refused many opportunities to become wealthy. She sang for the simple country people and also for the rich, some
17、times. But she never changed her style or her point of view.At one point, after some discussions, her husband advised her to try out for a regular stage role. Then, she reluctantly paid 2. 5 dollars for a song sheet and went to the interview. All the judges agreed to offer her the part, for they wer
18、e highly impressed. At this point, however ,her husband got a job ,and she turned down the offer. She wanted to go on singing at concerts.Mahalia Jackson was a down-to-earth person, showing no self-pride. She considered her singing talent a gift from God and accepted it humbly. She would help box-of
19、fice clerks and would even help sell tickets out front, if necessary. Therefore ,she was loved by people around her.Perhaps Mahalia Jacksons greatest moment was singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at President John F. Kennedys inauguration (就职仪式)The national anthem may never have been sung better.31.

22、 the third president of the United States, was a good and tireless writer, and he wrote The Declaration of Independence. There is much we can learn from him. Here are some of the things he said and wrote:Go and see. Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books
23、, and personal investigation is important as well.Judge for yourself. Jefferson refused to accept other peoples opinions without careful thought. “Neither believe nor reject anything,” he wrote to his nephew.Learn from everyone. Jefferson once visited the French nobleman, Lafayette, and said to him,
24、 “You must go into the peoples home as I have done ,look into their cooking pots and eat their bread. If you will only do this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied. ”Do what you believe is right. In a free country, there will always be conflicting ideas, and this is a source of strength. It
25、 is not unquestioning agreement but conflict that keeps freedom alive. Though Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticism, he never answered his critics. He expressed his philosophy, “There are two sides to every question. If you take one side with decision and act on it with effect,
26、 those who take the other side will of course resent(憎恶)your actions. ”Trust the future and trust the young. Jefferson felt that the present should never be chained to customs which have lost their usefulness. “The earth belongs to the living generation. ” He didnt fear new ideas, nor did he fear th
27、e future. “How much pain has been caused by evils which have never happened?” he remarked,“I expect the best, not the worst. ”35.The author mentioned Jeffersons visit to Lafayette to show_.A.Jefferson valued the importance of learning from othersB.Jefferson had a close relationship with his peopleC.

30、fersons Life StoryCI had a terrible accident and was transferred via a helicopter to the Pittsburgh Hospital. I was conscious of my accident and friends, and family passing out at the sight of me. It was no picnic!Late one evening ,I could hear the nurses in the next room repeatedly talking to a new
31、 patient. “Sandy, your mom is here. Open your eyes. ” This had gone on throughout the night. “Sandy ,your dad has some flowers for you. Open your eyes and look at them. ” I asked the nurse as she checked in on me what had happened to Sandy. The nurse said that Sandy was about 17 and had been involve
32、d in a car wreck. She was in a deep coma (昏迷), not in good shape. Over the next few nights ,I started talking to Sandy. Although, it was said silently, I started to urge her to open her eyes or say something. Her parents visited with me one evening, and they seemed to be from an important family but
33、 in much grief, much like the faces of those that had visited me. And there I was speechless, immobile and had no real way of easing (减轻)their pain. It became very important to me to pray for her recovery, not my own. In some strange way, I believed that if Sandy would just open her eyes ,my own sit
34、uation would get better.Sandy never came out of the coma as far as I know. During my stay in hospital, there were many times I felt like I was in an emotional coma. But I still could hear “just open your eyes. ” Even now I think of her quite often. I remember the long nights in the hospital, the sme
35、ll of the hospital environment and the helplessness we all felt. Even though Sandys situation was bad, I am thankful for understanding what it means to let go of your own problems and concentrate on others,.39.The nurses repeatedly said “Open your eyes” to Sandy, trying_A.to help her recognize her p

Patient.42.According to the author, we should_when we all have problems.A.show our care to the unlucky with problemsB.try to learn something from these problemsC.focus on others than o
38、n our ownD.always feel lucky for ourselvesDIn the digital age, getting students into classrooms is an increasingly challenging mission for college and university teachers, not to mention retaining their attention.“Its much harder to teach the post-90s,said Chen Jixiu , a math professor at Fudan Univ
39、ersity. “They use smart-phones and tablets to search for information, even during class. They get knowledge from a variety of sources, and consider it a small cake ,to skip classes. ” According to Chen, this situation has forced teachers to adopt “odd tricks” for attracting students to class. Here a
40、re some interesting ideas picked up by 21st Century.Food for Thought: Rather than providing only moral encouragement, teachers at Wuhan University are offering real-life related rewards to improve student attendance. Students sitting in the first row of the health psychology course taught by profess
41、or Lei Wuming are rewarded with snacks. “Ive got 7,000 fans on my micro-blog (微博),and most of them are my students,”said Lei ,director of the universitys Education Institution. “I do want to express my thanks to those coming to listen, and to make the class more lively. ”Teacher vs Phone; In the bro
42、adcasting and hosting course of Hankou University, teacher Huang Huiqiong gives students permission to busy themselves with their cell phones during class. They keep their heads down until they hear something interesting. If not, they can sit through the entire class without being disturbed and even
43、 give the teacher advice following the class. “A teacher is not the boss and students have the right to make content suggestions,said Huang.Friendly Blogs: You might hesitate to participate in class discussions, but what if you could send a message instead of speaking out loud? In the computer scien
44、ce course at Changsha University of Science Technology (CUST),students can voice opinions via their cell phone. “I open a micro-blog webpage,and when students text a message to the account, it appears on the screen,said teacher Huang Qiang. Su Ying, 19,a sophomore at CUST, said: “I feel relaxed as I

48、ut their opinions on the screen.D They can get everybodys attention.ECertain plants and animals can survive under what seem like impossible conditions. Blind fish live freely under ocean depths that are absolutely dark and cold. Bacteria live at temperatures of 600 F or a higher in places where the
49、heat comes from the deep earth.

50、30 species of mammals? and even fish. While the days are terribly hot, the nights are extremely cold. Temperatures can fall down by as much as 50 F.Plants called xerophytes are perfectly adapted to the extremely dry conditions. These plants have survived by developing techniques for coping with thei
51、r environment. Like all living things ,they must have water ,and they get it in several ways.The mesquite and the prickly (多刺的)pear pick up moisture in opposite ways. The mesquite sends its roots down as deep as 60 feet to tap the water table. The prickly pear, on the other hand ,spreads its roots w
52、ide. These roots are shallow but they pick up whatever moisture is available at ground level. The paloverde saves water by shedding leaves in times of extreme drought The barrel cactus makes sure of a water supply by storing water in the plant itself. The saguaro cactus stores so much water that it
53、can survive years of drought. But even the saguaro will die sooner or later if there is no rain. All these plants ,although well adjusted to their environment, must eventually get water.Even if the parent plants die, there are always seeds to keep the species alive. Since the desert is so tough, tho
54、usands of seeds must be released to produce one plant. To get rooted, these seeds must have exactly the right conditions. They can lie dormant(休眠)for months, even years, until a little water stimulates the sparks of life.47.Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage?A.The D
