It was such a dry season that we had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I sawmy six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking very carefully to the woods,then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I quietly walked out of the house and followed him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill(洒出)the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I looked at him secretly, I saw the most amazing site.Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hand.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more drops…and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, himself, was crying with pride.24. Why did the author follow her son?A. Because she intended to help.B. Because she was curious.C. Because there might be danger.D.

Where does this passage probably come from ?A. A handbook.B. A magazine.C. An advertisementD. A notice.CWe humans usually do not stop when we have achieved something. Instead, we are always trying to do things better or having more of the same success.Jane Fonda moved from being an Academy Award actress to a successful businesswoman. Her aerobics (有氧体操) workout videos have been sold around the world. Athletes are constantly making greater and greater efforts to lower time for races; increase heights or distances.The world of medicine has had its series of successes too. Christian Barnard performed several successful heart transplants. Other medical experts have achieved organ transplants. Throughout the ages, mankind has found transient and cures for tuberculosis (肺结核), cancer, and other diseases. A cure of AIDS might soon be discovered.Age does not seem to slow down achievers. Tina Turner at 54 is still singing with great energy and attracting sell-out crowds wherever she goes.At work, we go all out for achievements too. Success may mean organizing a conference more effectively and efficiently each year. Sometimes, it is not a pat on the back or the promotion that makes it worthwhile. Often, it is the inner thrill and satisfaction of achievement, no matter how small it may be.Aiming for success does not mean you are greedy or dissatisfied.

Success Comes the Hard Way.DScientists have invented a lotion(洗液)that gives laboratory mice a dark tan (被太阳晒成的棕褐色皮肤)in just three weeks. No, they aren’t planning to send the mice to the beach. But the research could be an important step in creating a lotion that helps humans avoid getting skin cancer.Everyone knows that people with pale skin — and especially redheads — are most likely to get sunburned. That’s because their skin isn’t good at producing melanin(黑素), which protects skin cells by blocking the sun’s dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays.Dr. David Fisher is an oncologist — a doctor who treats cancer. He was testing a lotion to see if it would cause mice to produce melanin in their skin, just like the sun does, without the danger of being exposed to the sun’s rays. The special ingredient(成分) in the lotion comes from a plant.“We had suspected that it would darken the skin (that’s why we tested it), but wedidn’t know that it could turn the appeara nce of a very fair-skinned mouse so dark,” says Fisher.Someday researchers might be able to make a lotion that will turn human skin darker to protect it from dangerous UV rays. But that’s a long way off.“I have been tempted to try some of the lotion on my own skin,” explains Fisher. “However, there is not yet any study in human skin to test whether the treatment is safe.”“It’s fun to play out in the sunshine, but remember,” says Dr. Fisher,“the sun can be dangerous. It can injure our skin an d cause bad effects that don’t happen until much later.”That’s why we must be careful about avoiding sun exposure—until scientists find just the right solution.32. Dr. David Fisher made the experiment in order to __________.A. test if a lotion worksB. send mice to the beachC. help people with skin cancerD. give mice a dark skin33. Which of the following are most likely to get sunburned?A. People with dark and yellow skin.B. People with dark and pale skinC. People with pale skin and redheads..D.

From the passage we know that ____________.A. the lotion that had invented had little effect on the mice’s skinB. people don’t find harms of sun exposure easily at the beginningC. researchers will make a lotion to protect human skin very soonD. the lotion Fisher invented now can help humans to avoid skin cancer第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
