19.A Subway Superhero
Wesley Autrey can't fly,but he is still being called a real-life Superman!Last week,the brave 50-year-old rescued Cameron Hollopeter,20,from being hit by a train.The train was entering a subway station in New York City.The young man had fallen from the station's platform and onto the train tracks a few feet below.
Autrey,a construction worker and Navy veteran(老兵),was with his two young daughters when he saw Hollopeter fall.Autrey made a quick decision and jumped onto the tracks.He then rolled himself and Hollopeter into a gap,or opening,between the rails.Autrey used his own body to protect the young man.
Five of the train's cars passed over the two before stopping completely.The two men were both unharmed.Hollopeter's stepmother,Rachel Hollopeter,called Autrey an"angel".Autrey visited the New York Film Academy student in the hospital on Wednesday.
For his bravery,Autrey was given a hero's welcome at City Hall.New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented Autrey with the Bronze Medallion (铜奖章).It is the city''s highest award for achievements by its citizens.Mayor Bloomberg called Audrey"a great man-a man who makes us all proud to be New Yorkers."
After the ceremony at City Hall,a limousine (豪华轿车)took Autrey to a meeting with multimillionaire businessman Donald Trump.Trump awarded Autrey with﹩10,000.The heroic father also received﹩5,000 from the New York Film Academy,a trip to Disney World,and one year of free sub way rides.
Even after all this attention; Autrey still doesn't see himself as a Superman."I did it out of a split-second reaction,"Autrey said on CBS'The Early Show."And if I had to do it again,I probably would."

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了Wesley Autrey不会飞,但他仍然是一个现实生活中的超人,因为他救了一位20岁的年轻人免于火车的撞击,这得到了许多人的赞扬,而他认为只是遵从了本心而已,

解答 56.B.细节理解题.根据文章第一段"Last week,the brave 50-year-old rescued Cameron Hollopeter,20,from being hit by a train"上周他救了一位20岁的年轻人免于火车的撞击;可知他被称为英雄是因为他就了人;故选B.
57.D.细节理解题、根据文章第二段"when he saw Hollopeter fall.Autrey made a quick decision and jumped onto the tracks""Autrey used his own body to protect the young man"可知他看到Hollopeter倒台后,他迅速作出决定,以保护何洛彼德免受伤害;故选D.
58.C.细节理解题.根据文章第三段"New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented Autrey with the Bronze Medallion (铜奖章)"可知为了纪念奥特里的勇敢,纽约市长米迦勒布隆伯格给欧特里颁布了铜奖章;故选C.
59.D.推理判断题.根据文章最后一段"And if I had to do it again,I probably would"如果我必须在遇到一次的话我还会这么做;可知如果奥特里遇到了另一个像这样的意外,他还是会舍己救人;故选D.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

14.Reading is a pleasure of the mind,which means that it is a little like a sport:your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader.Reading is fun,not because the writer is telling you something,but because it makes your mind work.Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyond his.Your experience,compared with his,brings you to the same or different conclusions,and your ideas develop,as you understand his.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be.If you concentrate on books somebody make you read,you probably won't have fun.But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means something to you,and then relax with it,you will almost have a good time and if you become,as a result of reading,better,wiser,kinder,or more gentle,you won't have suffered during the process.
Unfortunately,with TV broadcasting 24hours a day,many people have lost interest in reading.Whenever they are free and have some leisure time,they turn on the TV and watch whatever is on.It's a pity that children today have far less interest in books than a TV set.

4.People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans(寿命)that are similar to humans,living for around 50 to 70 years.
    Now scientists believe they know why.A team at the University of Chicago,US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors(肿瘤)developing.To be precise,they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants.Most other species,including humans,only carry one copy.
    According to the research,the extra copies of the gene improved the animal's sensitivity to DNA damage,which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.
"An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,"the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian.If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous(癌变的),large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice.But across species,the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.
    This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named"Peto's paradox(悖论)".Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not.In the elephant's case,the making of TP53 is nature's way of keeping this species alive.
    The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice,they had the same cancer resistance as elephants.This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.
"Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,"said Joshua Schiffman,a biologist at the School of Medicine,University of Utah,US."It's up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people."
32.Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?D
A.They have a rather large body size.
B.Their genes suffer no DNA damage.
C.Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.
D.They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.
33.According to the passage,what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?A
A.Deadly tumors.
B.The huge body mass.
C.Cells killing themselves.
D.Sensitivity to DNA damage.
34.What does the underlined part"This phenomenon"in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?B
A.Larger animals have protection from TP53.
B.The risk of cancer is not related to body size.
C.Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.
D.The larger animals are,the bigger risk of cancer they will have.
35.What can be concluded from the passage?C
A.Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.
B.The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.
C.Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.
D.The extra copies of elephants'genes are used to cure cancer patients.
