She was excited because she was going to spend five weeks helping biologists from the university perform research on animal behaviour. However, she was also nervous because she would travel with the scientists to Central America, and she had never been that far from home before. She knew that this was an amazing opportunity, though, and tried not to let her nervousness take control.Rebecca was chosen from among many students who were all competing for a spot on the research team. Rebecca had the best grades and a reputation for being reliable in her work. She also demonstrated creative thinking and showed the most promise in the field of biology. All in all, she was a very talented young woman. Most of her classmates were jealous, but they all still wished her luck and eagerly anticipated many great stories after she returned home at the end of the summer.The first couple of weeks in the field, Rebecca was limited to assisting the scientists. Most of her time was spent categorizing data. It was not the most glamorous work in the world, but she learned a lot and asked many questions. The rest of the research team realized how valuable Rebecca was, and she started to get her own assignments. Bit by bit, she was assigned more work and, by the end of the summer, she became a full-fledged member of the team!The team was researching the behaviour of Central American mammals, particularly the relationship between predator and prey. Rebecca spent most of her time in the forest observing a family of sloths and trying to stay as quiet as possible. After a few days of this, she discovered that a naturalist's work is often very dirty and involves many long, hot hours where not much happens. It's easy to get very bored when you spend all day watching a sleeping animal.However, Rebecca took very detailed notes and did her best to impress the scientists. At the end of the summer, the entire team had magnificent things to say about Rebecca. They were so happy with her and her work that they asked her to return the following summer! She couldn't wait to tell her friends — they were sure to be even more jealous of her good fortune!41.

Capable.C. Fearless.D. Modest.43. Rebecca _______ received more important responsibilities in order to become a full member ofthe research team.A. neverB. slowlyC. quicklyD. immediately44. Which paragraph describes the reality of scientific investigation as experienced by Rebecca?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.45. What is meant by the phrase, "Rebecca was limited to assisting the scientists" (Para 3, Line 1)?A. She couldn't do anything except help the scientists.B. She could do anything but help the scientists.C. She could do many things in addition to helping the scientists.D. She couldn't do anything but observe the scientists.。

Early in his childhood, he learned that unless he so exerted himself as to rise above his limitations, he could not earn a living, and unless he succeeded in making a living on his own, he could not win /gain the respect of others. That was the price he had to pay for his dignity as a human being.Tom applied for numerous jobs, only to be turned down, before he finally got one as a delivery boy for a Pizza Hut. He then worked as a sales representative for a sportswear company in a territory no one else would want. Today he owns a fairly profitable retail shop in his hometown, and hires several people to work for him.。

We boys (there were no girls in the school) were waiting expectantly for the new teacher to appear. Before long, through the door came in a tall, unimpressive-looking man of about 40. He said shyly, “Good afternoon, gentlemen.”His voice had a surprising tone of respect, almost as if he were addressing the Supreme Court instead of a group of youngsters. He wrote his name on the blackboard —Wilmer T. Stone —then sat on the front of his desk, drew one long leg up and grasped his bony knee.“Gentlemen,”he began, “we are here this semester —your last —to continue your study of English. I know we shall enjoy learning with —and from —one another. We are going to learn something about journalism and how to get out your weekly school paper. Most important, we are going to try to really get interested in reading and writing. Those who do, I venture to say, will lead far richer, fuller lives than they would otherwise.”He went on like that, voicing a welcome message of friendliness and understanding. An unexpected feeling of excitement stirred in me.During the term that followed, his enthusiasm spread through us like a contagion. “Don’t be afraid to disagree with me,”he used to say. “It shows you are thinking for yourselves, and that’s what you are here for.”Warming to such confidence, we felt we had to justify it by giving more than our best. And we did.Mr. Stone gave us the greatest gift a teacher can bestow —an awakening of a passion for learning. He had a way of dangling before us part of a story, a literary character or idea, until we were curious and eager for more; then he would cut himself short and say, “But I suppose you have read so-and-so.”When we shook our heads,he would write the title of a book on the blackboard, then turn to us. “There are some books like this one I almost wish I had never read. Many doors to pleasure are closed to me now, but they are all open for you!”The end of the term came much too soon. The morning before graduation day the class suddenly and spontaneously decided to give Mr. Stone a literary send-off that afternoon —a goodbye party withm poems and songs for the occasion.That afternoon when Mr. Stone walked slowly into Room 318 we made him take a seat in the first row. One of the boys, sitting in the teacher’s chair, started off with a poem called “Farewell”; the rest of us were grouped around him. Mr. Stone sat tight-lipped, until toward the end when he slowly turned to the right and then to the left, looking at each of us in turn as if he wanted to register the picture on his mind.When we got to the last chorus of the parody, we saw tears rolling down Mr. Stone’s high cheekbones. He got up and pulled out a handkerchief and blew his nose and wiped his face. “Boys,”he began, and no one even noticed that he wasn’t calling us “men”any more, “we’re not very good, we Americans, at expressing sentiment. But I want to tell you that you have given me something I shall never forget.”Language Points1 Explanation of Difficult Sentences1. (Para. 1) Before long, through the door came in a tall, unimpressive-looking man of about 40.Analysis: The sentence ... through the door came in a tall, unimpressive-looking man of about 40 takes the structure of full S-V inversion. Inversion includes two types: full inversion and partial inversion.Full inversion is usually used in a sentence beginning with an adverbial of place (through the door in this sentence). Inversion is used to emphasize the ending part of the sentence, a tall ... man of about 40 in this case.Translation: 很快，从门口走进一个高高的、40来岁的男子，看上去其貌不扬。
