题目内容

My life suffered a lot in summer five years ago. My father died in a car accident，leaving my mother，my two younger brothers and I alone. At that time，I was a senior high school student. After my father’s funeral，I had no choice but to drop out of school and work in a factory.

I really wanted to return to school and wanted to go to college，but I couldn’t. I only hoped to bring up my two young brothers. Life was not easy for me，for I can’t afford their tuition even if I worked from day to night without stopping. Without my father’s protection，I thought I was a slave to the fate.

Later on，something changed my life. I still remember that it was a rainy day. I put myself in the rain and walked slowly in the street.

Suddenly the rain stopped！I raised my head and found “the sky” was in fact a dark blue umbrella. Then I noticed a middle?aged man with one leg on crutch(拐杖) standing behind me. He said to me，“Why not run without an umbrella？If you didn’t run，you would get drenched.”

The man told me that he was a promoter. He once dreamed of being a policeman，but an accident ruined his dream. Though his present job was not suitable for his legs，it was a wonderful start to him. He was very happy that he didn’t lose heart and still “ran” on the road of life...

I was encouraged by the man’s words. I went to a big city and became an assurance representative. After two years’ running，I did well and my family condition turned better little by little. Later I returned to school and succeeded in my entrance to university.

Life is like this. When you are in rainy days in your life，if you couldn’t find a way to prevent you from being wet，you would be overwhelmed. But if you decide to get rid of it，you’ll discover that the rainy days last not so long as you imagine.

Why don’t so many Americans accept the theory of evolution? A 2001 Gallup Poll found that 45 percent of Americans agree with the statement “God created the human being pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so ”, while 37 percent preferred a mixed belief that “Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process”, and only 12percent accepted the standard scientific theory that “Human being have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God had no part in this process”.

There are at least four reasons to make people resistant to accepting evolution.

1. The warfare model of science and religion. The belief that there is a war between science and religion where one is right and the other is wrong, and that one must choose one over the other.

2. The belief that evolution is a threat to specific religious tenets(信条). Many people attempt to use science to prove certain religious tenets, but when they do not appear to fit, the science is rejected.

3. Misunderstanding of evolutionary theory. A significant problem is that most people know so little about the theory. In the 2001 Gallup Poll, for example, a quarter of the people surveyed said they didn’t know enough to say whether they accepted evolution or not, and only 34 percent considered themselves to be “very informed ” about the theory.

4. The fear that evolution degrades our humanity. Darwin revealed us to be “mere animals”, subject to the same natural laws and historical forces as all other animals.

Believers should embrace science, especially evolutionary theory, for what it has done to uncover the magnificence of the divinity(神学) in a depth never dreamed by our ancient ancestors. We have learned a lot in 4,000 years, and that knowledge should never be denied. Instead, science should be welcomed by all who cherish human understanding and wisdom.

1.According to the Poll, most people in America believe_____________.

A. human beings have developed from less advanced forms of life

B. God contributed to the present form of human beings

C. God created human beings in the present form

D. God guided the process of human beings’ development

2.Which of the following is NOT the reason why people don’t accept evolution?

A. There is always a war between evolution and religion.

B. Some religious tenets can’t be proved by science.

C. Many people don’t know enough about evolution.

D. They fear that we will become “mere animals”.

3.What can we learn form the passage about evolutionary theory?

A. Whether evolutionary theory is science is a question.

B. It has explained the brilliance of the divinity better than before.

C. It must make religion disappear and they can’t exist at the same time.

D. Darwin made little contribution to the theory.

4.What is the writer’s view on the evolutionary theory?

A. It is not science and should be resisted.

B. It is science but should be resisted.

C. It is not science but should be accepted.

D. It is science and should be accepted.

5.The author wrote the passage to_________________.

A. tell the readers that many Americans refuse evolution theory.

B. tell the readers why so many Americans refuse evolution theory.

C. advise the readers to value science, including evolution theory.

D. tell the difference between science and religion.

The computer keyboard helped kill shorthand—a system of rapid handwriting, and now it’s threatening to finish off handwriting as a whole. When handwritten essays were introduced on the SAT exams for the class of 2012, just 15% of the most 1.5 million students wrote their answers in cursive(草写字母). The rest? Block letters.

And those college hopefuls are just the first edge of a wave of US students who no longer get much handwriting instructions in the primary grades, frequently 10 minutes a day or less. As a result, more and more students struggle to read and write cursive.

At Keene Mill Elementary School in Springfield, all their poems and stories are typed. Children in Fairfax County schools are taught keyboarding beginning in kindergarten. Older students who never mastered handwriting say it doesn’t affect their grades.

There are those who say the culture is at a crossing, turning from the written word to the typed one. If handwriting becomes a lost form of communication, does it matter?

It was at University Virginia that researchers recently discovered a previously unknown poem by Robert, written in his unique script. Handwritten documents are more valuable to researchers, historians say, because their authenticity(真实性) can be confirmed. Students also find them more fascinating.

The loss of handwriting also may be a cognitive(认知的) opportunity missed. Several academic studies have found that good handwriting skills at a young age can help children express their thoughts better—a lifelong benefit.

It doesn’t take much to teach better handwriting skills. At some schools in Prince George’s County, elementary school students use a program called Handwriting Without Tears for 15 minutes a day. They learn the correct formation of manuscript letters through second grade, and cursive letters in third grade.

There are always going to be some kids who struggle with handwriting because of their particular neurological(神经系统的) writing, learning issues or poor motor skills. Educators often point to this factor in support of keyboarding.

1.What is the author concerned about after 2012 Sat exams?

A. Keyboarding. B. Shorthand.

C. Handwriting. D. Block letters.

2.A poem by Robert mentioned in the passage is used to ____________.

A. prove how valuable handwriting is

B. explain what a famous poet he is

C. show how unique his poem is

D. stress how fascinating the documents are

3.The example of Handwriting Without Tears helps to argue that _____________.

A. the schools are responsible for the loss of handwriting

B. the loss of handwriting is a cognitive opportunity missed

C. it doesn’t take much to teach better handwriting skills

D. the culture is turning from the written word to the typed one

4.According to the author, when is a perfect time to learn handwriting?

A. Kindergarten. B. Primary school.

C. High school. D. College.

5.What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?

A. Devotion. B. Encouragement.

C. Critical. D. Objective.
