WHEN John Gurdon was 15, he ranked last out of the 250 boys in his grade at biology. He also came in last for every other science subject. His teacher wrote in a 21 : “I believe he has ideas about becoming a 22 ; on his present showing this is quite foolish.”

Luckily, the teacher’s words didn’t 23 Gurdon’s love for science. He kept working hard. He went to lab earlier and left 24 than anyone else.

On Oct 8, 2012, 64 years later, the British professor 25 the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka had contributed to the research and therefore 26 the award.

Gurdon got the honor 27 his research into cells and cloning. When he was studying at Oxford, he did some 28 on cells. He took a cell from an adult frog, moved its 29 , and put them into an egg cell. The egg cell then 30 into a clone of the adult frog. His research 31 for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.

For example, 35 from someone’s skin can turn into any type of tissue in the body. This is good news for those 36 who have diseased or damaged tissue.

Gurdon always remembers the 37 he had when he was 15. He even put the report on his desk as a daily 38 to himself.

第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共40分）

第二部分? 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40分）

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。（共15题：每小题2分，共30分）

A

When two Bangs meet

Sheldon Cooper is a scientific genius on the popular American TV show, The Big Bang Theory (《生活大爆炸》). He finally met his match last year: Stephen Hawking.

This is not the first time that the scientist has appeared on TV. He has also been on Star Trek (in 1987) and The Simpsons (in 1989). Each time, he played himself.

Hawking, 71, is perhaps the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He has spent his whole life studying the beginning and the end of the universe, including the Big Bang (宇宙大爆炸) theory.

The Big Bang theory explains the early development of the universe. According to the theory, about 13.7 billion years ago everything was all squeezed （挤压）together in a tiny, tight little ball, and then the ball exploded. The results of that explosion are what we call the universe.

Hawking has always tried to make science more popular with people. His book: A Brief History of Time was published in 1988. In the book he shares his understanding of the universe in simple language. The book tries to explain many subjects about the universe to common readers, including the Big Bang, black holes and light cones (光锥).

Hawking’s achievements are even greater if you think about his disability. When he was 21, Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking. Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He chooses his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer (合成器).

Hawking also believes that there might be aliens in space. However, he believes they are probably very dangerous, so we should not look for them. “I imagine they might exist in very big ships ... having used up all the resources from their home planet,” Hawking said in a British documentary（纪录片） named Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking.

41. What does the “two Bangs” in the title refer to?

A. The director of “The Big Bang Theory” and the founder of it.

B. The director and the actor of “The Big Bang Theory”.

C. The founder of the “Big Bang” theory and its spreader.

D. The scientific genius on TV show and the one alive in real life.

42. Acting in The Big Bang Theory is Hawking’s _____ time on TV.

A. first B. second C. third D. fourth

43. According to Paragraph 5, Hawking wrote the book A Brief History of Time especially for _____.

A. scientists who study the universe

B. people who know a lot about the universe

C. people who know little about the universe

D. people who only know simple language

44. The Big Bang theory mainly explains _____.

A. how the universe started

B. what the universe is like

C. how old the universe is

D. how the universe exploded

45. According to the passage, which of the following about Hawking is TRUE?

A. He was born with a disability.

B. He uses a computer to communicate.

C. He believes aliens are our friends.

D. He encourages people to look for aliens.

B

Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?

Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren’t many books, few people learned to read.

Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly
