【英语】北师大版典题精讲(Unit 20 NEW FRONTIERS)典题精讲What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today’s leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs(器官). The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.1. According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by ______________.A. diseases and agingB. accidents and warC. accidents and agingD. heart disease and war2. In the author’s opinion, today’s most import ant advance in technology lies in ______________.A. medicineB. the InternetC. brain cellsD. human organs3. Humans may live longer in the future because ______________.A. heart disease will be far away from usB. human brains can decide the final deathC. the basic materials of cells will last foreverD. human organs can be repaired by new medicine4. We can learn from the passage that ______________.A. human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB. humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells1. 答案:A解析:这是一道细节题。

He created the Uncle Milton Ant Farm more than half a century ago. Today, grandchildren of the first ant colony owners are watching ants working hard on the ton Levine was not trained in the study of insects, also known as entomology. But he knew a lot about ants, and he designed an appealing way to share his knowledge.Mr. Levine began his career as a maker of unusual toys after World War Ⅱ. He had returned to his birthplace in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,after serving in the United States military.He got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter, which suggested that the best chances for jobs at the time were in toys. He decided to make toys. They understood that American society was about to change. The huge population increase known as the Baby Boom was beginning. There would be a huge demand for children's toys.One day, he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.The sight made Mr. Levine remember how much he had liked watching ants as a boy on his uncle's farm. Those thoughts gave him the idea for the Uncle Milton Ant Farm.Milton Levine developed a narrow, green plastic container. The top looked like a farm, showing a farmhouse, a barn, a bridge and a windmill (风车). Under those images was a divider that separated the ants' underground and above-ground areas.Under that was the sand where people could watch the ants digging passageways.The first Uncle Milton Ant Farms were an immediate success.They were sold in 1956.Two years later,two million of the educational toys had been sold.Through the years the toys continued to attract ant-watchers. People buy Uncle Milton Ant Farms from stores and order from websites. During his life, Mr. Levine saw the sale of more than twenty million of his ant colonies.The Uncle Milton Ant Farm tells far more than how to care for the ants. For example, people receiving an Uncle Milton Ant Farm learn that the little insects are strong. Some can carry loads fifty times heavier than they are.A writer remembers owning an Uncle Milton Ant Farm when he was about five years old.He says he became very good at numbers by counting the ants.1. Which of the following words can best describe Milton Levine?A. Strong.B. Creative.C. Loyal.D. Humorous.2. ________ may be studied in the science of entomology.A. RosesB. ButterfliesC. TigersD. Sharks3. Milton Levine got his idea from the following EXCEPT ________.A. a business newsletterB. the Baby BoomC. ants paradingD. a farmhouse4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. How to care for the ants.B. Ants are strong and diligent.C. The Uncle Milton Ant Farm is more than a toy.D. The Uncle Milton Ant Farm is very popular.BDonald had his own difficulties sleeping that night. Not just because of the bright lights of the shelter or people's constant voices, it was the happening repeatedly nightmare (噩梦) that caused him to stay awake, to fear sleep. Donald was back in his small house. He did his best to ignore the howling winds outside his window. Yet he couldn't turn out the fearful whimpers (呜咽声) of his little dog, or the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door, unable to sleep through the storm despite her insistence they would be all right.Donald didn't want his mother to be upset, but on some level,he was glad to hear shewas awake. It meant he wasn't alone in the dark. Though he was 12, until recently it wasimpossible for Donald to fall asleep unless his mother lay down by his side.Suddenly there was a crash. Their living room window is shattered (打碎) by125-mile-an-hour winds. Troy rushed to Donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed.He did his best to calm his mother, and she to comfort him.Soon water was seeping(渗透) into the single-floor house.Quickly it rose from anklelevel to leg level. At Donald's insistence, they pushed their way through the water —now chest high — toward the front door. When they fought their way into the livingroom, water rose to their chins.It was a struggle for the boy and mother to stay afloat. In a total panic, desperate to hold on to something, Troy caught a curtain rod (杆). She's breathing hard, shouting that she couldn't swim.Donald called out,“Mom ! Hold on!” Just then Donald also caught a floating wood board.5.

Clayton kept talking about himself all through the entire conversation: he had solved problems no one else could; only his views were right; other researchers' work was inaccurate or unimportant. I could not put in a word. Extremely annoyed, I planned to avoid Clayton in that future. In fact, I decided never to have another conversation with him.A few days later I was in an education class. Our professor explained how one child could become the target of the other students' ridicule (讥笑).“Usually it's because the class sees their own weaknesses glaringly magnified (放大) in that student. They don't want to admit they have the same weakness, so they ridicule and exclude the student. The behavior of both the class and the excluded studen t is caused by personal insecurity.”As I took notes, suddenly I thought of Clayton. It struck me that I have many of the same faults. How easily I rule a conversation and leave others out. I, too, sometimes feel that only my opinion is right. My concerns or work easily seems most important. As my professor had described, I reacted negatively to someone in whom I experienced my own weakness.I changed my mind. Instead of avoiding Clayton, I'll try to listen patiently with the same kindness and acceptance that I need.1.
