13.When Russell Lyons volunteered for the first time,he read"Goodnight Moon"to a class of San Diego preschoolers.And it wasn't reading-he'd memorized the book and was reciting it out loud.He was 4.Still,he said it felt good up there,in front of the other kids,lending a hand.He wanted more of that feeling.
Thirteen years later,he's getting a lot of it.He's on a five-month road trip across America-not sightseeing,but volunteering.
The University City resident has spent time at an animal reserve in Utah,a women's shelter in St.Louis,a soup kitchen in New York,a retirement home in Tucson.This week he's in Los Angeles,at a program that supports disabled youth.
"I just like helping people and feeling that something I do is making a difference,"he said.He resists the idea that his"Do Good Adventure"is all that unusual.It bothers him that the media often describe young people as lazy,self-centered and materialistic.So he sees his trip as a chance to make a statement,too."About 55percent of teens do volunteer work,higher than the rate for adults,"he said,according to a 2002 study."Not everybody knows that."
Of course,some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications.Lyons said he mentioned his trip on his submissions.But charity work is a habit with him.Even before the cross?country trip,he was volunteering about 200hours a year at various places.He's made sandwiches for homeless families in Washington D.C.He's taught math to fifth-graders in Cuernavaca,Mexico.
He gets some of that drive from his mother,Leslye Lyons,who has been involved in nonprofits for much of her life.She was there when her son"read"to the preschoolers-a memory of hers"that will never go away."

56.What did Russell Lyons think of his first volunteering?B
A.Creative.  B.Impressive.  C.Persuasive.  D.Imaginative.
57.The third paragraph is meant to.A
A.indicate Russell Lyons is working as a volunteer
B.introduce some tourist attractions across America
C.appeal for volunteers to offer help to those in need
D.show volunteers are needed in all parts of America
58.According to Paragraph 4,Russell Lyons is against the idea that.C
A.what he has done is common
B.most teens do volunteer work
C.young people don't work hard
D.adults prefer to be volunteers
59.Russell Lyons has been doing volunteer work because.D
A.it is necessary for college applications
B.he ought to keep his promise to Mom
C.he likes the feeling of being praised
D.it has become a natural part of his life

A.Leslye Lyons is too busy to look after her son.
B.Russell Lyons is greatly influenced by his mother.
C.Leslye Lyons almost earns no money all her life.
D.Children are always important to their parents.

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了Russell Lyons做志愿者的事情,他不像其他的年轻人一样做志愿者是为了让自己的大学申请上给人印象深刻,他做志愿者是受妈妈的影响,这是他自然的一部分,不用故意为之.

解答 56.B  推理判断题.根据第一段中的"He was 4.Still,said it felt good up there,front of he in the other kids,lending a hand.He wanted more of that feeling."可知,Russell Lyons 四岁时作为志愿者为学前儿童读书,这给他留下了极深的印象. creative 有创造性的; persuasive 有说服力的;imaginative 有想象力的,均与短文语境不符,故选B.
57.A  段落大意题.文章第三段中提到了 Russell Lyons 曾经所从事过的各种志愿者工作,而在这一段的后半部分则提到他现在正在洛杉矶,从事一个支持残疾青年的项目. 由此可知,本段意在表达 Russell Lyons 正在从事志愿者工作.故选A.
58.C 细节理解题.根据文章第四段"It bothers him that the media often describes young people as lazy,self-centered and materialistic.So he sees his trip as a chance to make a statement,too.‘About 55 percent of teens do volunteer work,higher than the rate of adults,'…"可知,Russell Lyons 是反对所谓年轻人都懒惰,以自我为中心和追求物质利益这种观点的.故选C.
59.D  推理判断题.根据倒数第二段的句子But charity work is a habit with him.可知,对于Russell Lyons 来说,从事志愿者工作已经成为他生活中自然的一部分了.故选D.
60.B  推理判断题,根据最后一段He gets some of that drive from his mother,Leslye Lyons,who has been involved in nonprofits for much of her life.She was there when her son"read"to the preschoolers-a memory of hers"that will never go away."可知Russell Lyons 喜欢从事志愿者活动是因为受了他母亲的影响,故选B.

点评 考查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,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时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.Here's a scene:a village where the sun always shines,crops always grow and your friends drop by to sweep your yard to the sound of guitar music.Animals do what they are told,there is no disease,and lendin'folks a helpin'hand makes you richer and wiser.Welcome to FarmVille-Current population 69m and rising fast.
"It reminds me of my childhood,"says one player,Lia Curran,37,a nurse from London."Right now I'm growing wheat and flowers.I've got a small garden,and I'm raising some chickens and some cows.I like having the animals.It's relaxing."Curran's animals,however,is nothing more than a collection of cartoons.FarmVille is an online computer game built into the social networking site Facebook and is described by its players as"addictive".Launched last June by Zynga Game Network,FarmVille now has many players-more than the population of the UK.The players are largely women over the age of 35.
FarmVille unites the worlds of social networking and gaming.Players are given a ground with six fields,"cash",a few seeds and a plough and have to build up wealth,skills and neighbors to create bigger,better,richer farms.Inviting your online friends to play means you earn more and get flee gifts;you rise rapidly through the first levels but,once hooked,have to work harder and harder with no final level or goal in sight.
"Games like this draw people into a fantasy world that's separate from real life where there are no issues,and where things are simple and controllable,"Brian Dudley says.In November,he opened the UK's first computer games addiction clinic,treating online gamers who stayed at the keyboard for up to eight hours a day-"the tip of the iceberg",he says.Two weeks ago,a group of US players launched a class action against Zynga and Facebook."Most,if not all,of the online advertisements presented through Zynga are scams(骗局),"the lawsuit states."The advertisements are highly misleading and often result in users ordering goods or services that they do not want or need."
According to Nick O'neill from the social media site All Facebook,Zynga is making﹩500,000(£304,000)a day,from its Facebook games,in turn spending some﹩50m(£30m)a year on Facebook ads.
If all that weren't enough,FarmVille doesn't even function like a proper farm:in FarmVille,wheat grows in two days-in real life,it takes months.But play continues nevertheless.

68.If you want to create a better and richer farm,you should do the following EXCEPT thatB.
A.you have to work harder and harder
B.you should pay real-world money to advance in the game
C.you should invite your online friends and neighbors to play
D.you should develop your skills and befriend FarmVille neighbors
69.Which of the following statements is TRUE?C
A.Most young girls are fascinated by the farming game.

8.I climbed the ladder,heard my dive announced,and began the moves that would push me into the air.Pushing off the diving board with my legs,I lifted my arms and shoulders back,and knew immediately I would be close to the board and might hit my hands.I tried to correct myself as I turned,spreading my hands wide apart.Then I heard a strange sound and my body lost control.Moments later I realized I had hit my head on the board.
At the beginning,I felt embarrassed.I wanted to hide,to get out of the pool without anyone seeing me.Next I felt intense fear.Had I cut my head?Was I bleeding?Was there blood in the pool?Swimming to the side,I noticed many shocked faces.People were worried about my head; I was worried about something far more threatening.An official examined my head.In a hurry,I pushed him away,and everyone else who approached me."Don't touch me!"I felt like screaming."Get away from me!"
These were the trials (选拔赛) for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul,Korea.Until this dive,I had been ahead.But now,something else was more significant than winning.I might have endangered other divers'lives if I had spilled blood in the pool.For what I knew---that few others knew-was that I was HIV-positive.
According to my mother,my natural parents were Samoan (萨摩亚人) and only teenagers when I was born,so they gave me up for adoption.When I was only eighteen months old,I started gym classes.At ten,I explored doing gym exercises off the diving board at the pool.
Because of my dark skin,kids at school called me names.My diving made me feel good about myself when my peers made me feel stupid.At sixteen,I knew I had a shot at the 1976 Olympics.
Everyone was alarmed when I hit my head on the board in Seoul.Regardless,I made it to the finals.During my last dive in the finals,I enjoyed for the last time the quietness underwater and then swam to the side of the pool.The crowd cheered,and I knew I'd won---two gold medals.AIDS forced me to stop diving; I had to give up diving professionally after the Olympics.

As if there weren’t enough of them in the world already, scientists have succeeded in cloning flies. The alike fruit flies are the first insects ever cloned, says the Canadian team that created them. The question everyone asks is why anyone would want to clone flies in the first place. She hopes that the insects , which are very easy to experiment with , will help to adjust the cloning process in other animals and even in humans, where the technique is being researched to aid production of therapeutic (治疗的) stem cells.

In cloning, the DNA-containing nucleus of an adult cell is injected into an egg whose own nucleus(细胞核) has been removed. At the moment, the majority of cloned mice, sheep and other animals die before birth. It is thought this is because the adult DNA is not properly ‘reprogrammed’.

Using flies, researchers might discover genes that are important for this reprogramming, and that have matches in other animals. That is because it is relatively easy in flies to knock out the function of a single gene and then attempt cloning with these cells, which will test whether that gene is important. If such genes are confirmed, then in theory cloned mammalian embryos(晶胚) might be grown in selected solutions that change the activity of those genes to improve the technique’s success rate. Although some groups have attempted to clone insects before, Lloyd says this is the first time it has been successful. The team used a slight difference on the standard cloning process: they transferred nuclei taken from embryos rather than fully-grown adult cells. They sucked several nuclei (pl)out of developing fly embryos, and injected them into a fertilized(已受精的) fly egg. From over 800 early attempts, they cloned five adult insects, the group reports in the journal Genetics.

3.The failure of most cloned animals is due to _______.

A.the difference of other animals’ genes

B.the improper technique of clone

C.the complex of other animals

D.the improper rearrange of the adult gene

4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.

A.the clone of insects before used grown-up cells

B.the clone of insects were never experimented before

C.this time scientists cloned flies successfully and easily

D.based on this success, other animals will be cloned in large quantities.
