14、ked me the question, Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach? Without taking time to reflect, I answered, Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someones life. Even though I was sincere, that wasnt a very good answer and my student didnt let it slide. Let me get this straight,
15、he said, You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone? He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. Im one of those people who look back and wish they had said
16、something smart or witty, or swift. Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach: Its in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher un
17、til her death in 1990. She instilled (逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors. Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You cant have ripples without a stone. Good teachers throw sto
18、nes that make a positive difference, and thats what I try to do. I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If theyl
19、l allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too. Teaching isnt for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.26. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writers being a teacher? A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable. B. Because the writer
20、was insincere. C. Because the student was naughty. D. Because the answer was difficult to understand.27. What do you think of the writer? A. Stupid. B. Honest. C. Conservative （保守的）. D. Polite.28.

23、hy I teach.BCan people change their skin color without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color.The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africa
24、ns, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebrafish（斑马鱼） to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment (色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin color is determined by pigment c
25、ells, which contain melanin (黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanin per pigment cell determine skin color.It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation (变异) in the gene for melanin production. This results in less pigmented skin.However, Keith Cheng
26、, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun (太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer.But when modern humans leave Africa to live
27、in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin color, said Chen
28、g.The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin color without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.31. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. people can not change their skin color without any pain B.
29、 the new discovery could lead to research into ways to change skin color safely C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin color as he liked D. scientists have found out that peoples skin color is determined by the gene32. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. nowadays people who wa
30、nt to change their skin color have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatment B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene C. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer D. there are two kinds of genes33. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-
31、striped zebrafish in order to _. A. find the different genes of humans B. prove the humans skin color is determined by the pigment gene C. find out the reason why the Africans skin color is dark D. find out the ways of changing peoples skin color34. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is prob
32、ably that _ A. they are born light-skinned people B. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gene for melanin production C. they have fewer activities outside D. they pay much attention to protecting their skin35. The writers attitude towards the discovery is _. A. neutral（中立的） B. negative C. p
33、ositive D. indifferent（冷漠）C The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful, says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gi
34、ves up his moral freedom.A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has
35、dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Keep cool, says George Herbert, for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. Anger, says Pythagoras, brings with fol
36、ly ( 愚蠢 ) and ends with regret. You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.Self-control is mans last greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no powe
37、r to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.36. What does the reader learn from the first paragraph?A. The greatest victory for a man is to conquer
38、everything except himself.B. Ones moral freedom is based on the control of himself.C. To control oneself is the most difficult in ones life.D. If a person is too stubborn, he will feel most shameful.37. What is the correct interpretation of “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad ” in parag
39、raph 2 ?A. If the gods want to kill you, they make you crazy first.B. If you always lose your temper, you will soon be finished.C. If you cannot control yourself, you will become crazy.D. If you are mad, you will be punished by the gods.38. If a man lacks self-control, he lacks all of the following
40、EXCEPT _.A. the very backbone and nerve of characterB. the patience and power to control himselfC. strong feelingsD. self-confidence39.

42、large education nation like China have so few world renowned scientists as the US? Educationists from China and the US try to find out the answer to questions like this at a forum on the basic education strategy. The forum, held recently, was jointly organized by the Education Development Research C
43、enter of the Ministry of Education in China and the Postgraduate School of the University of Pennsylvania in the US. It aims to find out similarities and differences that exist between two countries in their educational system. While some educationists in China keep a doubtful eye to the countrys ed
44、ucational system in recent years. Their American counterparts give a positive answer to the basic education in China, saying that it is still one of the best in the world.

45、endency. On the contrary, Chinese governments stress on basic education and qualified teachers has set a good example. At primary and middle school, pupils in China did better in math and science lessons than the US pupils. However, few grow to be world “masters”. Why? Educationists attributed this
46、to Chinas stress on examination rather than students interest. Deputy Director of the postgraduate school of Pennsylvania University said American teachers encouraged students to focus on their strong points. In China, students are driven to study to pass the entrance examination test and they do no
47、t pay much attention to their own interest.

63、The other is that I am so shy that I am always too nervous to find other exact words to express my ideas and feelings.
