第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节 共40分）

第一节 （共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分

A

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a??necessary part of the learning process. But all too often we convey to our children either by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance meets our approval（赞许）.

Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His??fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played excitedly. He?seldom answered questions — he might be wrong. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn’t made a mistake.

I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed?until?midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included her. But even enthusiastic, loving Mary was baffled by this little boy who feared he might make a mistake.?

Then one morning we were working math problems. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left he children with Mary. But when I returned. Donnie was in tears. He’d missed the third problem.

Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister（小筒）filled with pencils.

“Look, Donnie,” she said. “I’ve got something to show you.” She removed the pencils and placed them on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie?” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn? That’s because we make mistakes too. Lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.”

She kissed him and continued: “I’ll leave one of these pencils on?your desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes,? even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer（少许）of a smile.

The?Pencil became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Anne’s frequent encouragement and praise for even Donnie’s small successes. gradually?persuaded him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.

21. Why did Donnie rarely finish his work?

A. Because he seldom answered those difficult questions

B. Because he spent too much time checking his answers

C. Because he couldn’t work together with his classmates

D. Because he never did his work until the very last minute

22. The word “baffled” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .

A. encouraged B. impressed C. satisfied D. confused

23. Which of the following words best describe Mary Anne as she is shown in the article?

A. Patient and inspiring B. Creative and modest

C. Determined and strict D. Considerate and proud

24. The story was written mainly to .

A. tell us who influenced Donnie greatly B. sing the praises of Mary Anne

C. give a life lesson about failure D. show us how to use erasers

B

Elephants have impressed us for centuries. They are big, clever, and sociable. But what if someone told you that they may also hold the key to fighting cancer?

People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer, even though they have life spans（寿命）that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.

Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, Us has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors（肿瘤）from developing. To be precise. They found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP 53 in elephants. Most other species. Humans included, only carry one copy.

According to the research, which was recently published on the online science network BioRxiv, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage. This lets the cells（细胞）quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can to on to form deadly tumors.

“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with long life spans like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice do. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.

This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox”. Evolutionary biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller do not, In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.

The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers from spreading or even developing in the first place.

“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, an oncologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US.

“It’s up to us to learn how different animals tackle（对付）the problem so we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”

25. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?

A. They have a large body size

B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage

C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors

D. They carry many genes that keep tumors form developing

26. According to Dr. Vincent Lynch, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?

A. Extreme weather B. Human behavior

C. A risk of deadly tumors D. Cells killing themselves

27. What does the underlined expression “this phenomenon” on the sixth paragraph refer to?

A. Larger animals have protection from TP53

B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size

C. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they have

D. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones do

28. We can conclude from the last three paragraphs that .

A. the TP53 genes have proven useful in stopping cancer in mice

B. depending on nature is not enough to fight against cancer

C. this new treatment is more effective than the present ones

D. humans are expected to stop cancer in the near future

C

Brawn Nelson knew he wanted to be a doctor at 8 after he acted as a doctor on a primary school career day.

He faced more difficulties than many to get there; His family came to Florida, US as refugees（难民）from Haiti and “had almost nothing”. He worried about how to pay for college.

But Nelson got a head start（领先）in his medical career.

He participated in the Health Careers Outreach Program that aims to help poor minority students to get close to the medical field.

At middle school, he attended classes taught by medical students from Florida Atlantic University. He dissected（解剖）rats, comparing their organs to those found in humans.

As a high schooler, he worked on the same cadavers（医用尸体）as the medical students. He also visited the university’s lab and practiced treating patients using high-tech models.

Experiences like those and make all the difference for students an they work toward medical
