Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1I love going out with my mate Jerry. People stare at him with admiration. Some even ask fbr his signature. But Jerry isn't famous. He just bears a resemblance（长得像）to someone who is the actor Daniel Radcliffe. Yes, Harry Potter himself! And it has a magical effect on people!I told Jerry he should be a twin model. Thafs what Pauline Bailey did. She decided to replicate （模仿）Marilyn Monroe's image after she was told she bore a likeness to the star.Bailey says: "I bought books and started reading about Marilyn. I realized we had a similar upbringing, so I had an affinity（亲近）8）with her. Fhen people started saying when 1 went to places that 1 looked like her. 1 didn't realize you could make a living out of it.Now the blonde（金发的）model gets jobs through a specialized agency. She jumps out of cakes, allowing men to live the fantasy of meeting the late goddess of the silver screen.But not everybody profits from the lookalike business. Iranian actor Mahmoud Basiri claims his likeness to a famous person cost him eight years of earnings. He happens to be the spitting image of former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He was told in 2005 that he could only work with the leader's agreement. So will Ahmadinejad ever give his agreement to the actor to play him? Don't hold your breath-Basiri specializes in comedy!But overall, a resemblance to a popular artist is a good thing, isn't it? The biggest challenge must be to keep the illusion going-for example, by gaining or losing weight if they do. However, Pauline Bailey thinks it's important to keep a sense of yourself. She says: "I'm very much an individual person, away from Marilyn. I think you could lose yourself very easily being someone else all the time and lose your own identity.I asked Jerry if he thinks impersonating Daniel Radcliffe professionally could go to his head. I worried that all the adulation（恭维）might change him and make him leave me behind. tcNo way/he said. “We do everything together.”What about you? Which celebrity would you like to be the spitting image of?1、Why do some people ask for Jerry's signature?A. They think that he is admirable.B. They mistake him as Daniel Radcliffe.C. They think he has magic power.D. They take him for Harry Potter.2、What can we learn about Pauline Bailey?A. She looks like Marilyn Monroe.B She is Jerry's girlfriend.C. She has a twin sister.D. She is a famous film star.3、What do we know about Basiri?A. He is the former Iranian president.B. He is fond of acting leaders.C. He has made much money for 8 years.D. He is good at acting in comedy.Text 2Education is not a bystanders sport. Numerous researchers have shown that when students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudes toward school, and that positive attitudes promote learning. It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom discussion and score lower than boys on SATs.We found that at all grade levels in all communities and in all subject areas boys controlled classroom communication.They participated in more interactions than girls did, and their participation became greater as the year went on.Our research contradicted the traditional assumption that girls control classroom communication in reading while boys in math. We found that whether the subject was language arts and English or math and science, boys got more than their fair share of teacher attention. That teachers talk more to male students is simply because boys are more aggressive in grabbing their attention by calling out answers to the teachers' questions first. While girls sit patiently with their hands raised or keep silent. Psychologist Lisa Serbin and K.Daniel O,Leary, then at the state university of New York at stony brook studied classroom interaction at preschool level and found that teachers gave boys more attention, praised them more often and were at least twice as likely to have extended conversations with them.Years of experience have shown that the best way to learn something is to do it yourself. It is also important to give students specific and direct feedback about the quality of their work and answers. Teachers behave differently depending on whether boys or girls are active to provide answers during discussions. During classroom discussion, teachers in our study reacted to boys answers with powerful, precise and effective responses, while they often gave girls mild and unclear reactions because of their silence. Too often, girls remain in the dark about the quality of their answers. Active students receiving precise feedback are more likely to achieve academically. And they are more likely to be boys.This kind of communication game is played at work, as well as at school. As reported in numerous studies, it goes like this.KMen speak more often and frequently interrupt women.X Listeners recall more from male speakers than from female speakers, even when both use a similar speaking style and cover the same content.X Women participate less actively in conversation. They do more smiling and gazing, and they are more often the passive by Standers in professional and social conversations among peers.X Women often their own statements into unsure comments. This is accomplished by using qualifiers and by adding tag question. These uncertain patterns weaken impact and signal a lack of power and influence.Only when girls are active and treated equally in the classroom will they be more likely to achieve equality in the workplace.1、What does the authors mean when they say'Tducation is not a bystanders sport."?A. Both boys and girls should do more sports.B. The girl students should be the audience to watch the boy students' discussions.C. The boy students should not be too active in the classroom discussions.D. Both boy and girl students should take an active part in the classroom discussions.2> Which of the following is Not true?A. Girls' scores are lower than boys on SATs.B. Girls control classroom discussion in reading while boys in maths.C. Boys control classroom discussion in both reading and maths.D. Boys are more confident in calling out answers to catching the teachers' attention.3、The factors that contribute to the students' effective learning are the following exceptA. The students can take an active part in the classroom discussion.B. The students do it themselves.C. Teachers can give students specific and direct feedback the quality of their work and answers.D. Students transform their own statements into uncertain comments.Text 3Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out, which is thought to be responsible for global warming.Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence （肠胃气胀）contains no methane and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas.While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack, pushing out carbon dioxide, farm animals9 passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions in some countries."Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia are from enteric methane from cattle and sheep J said Athol Klieve, a senior research scientist with the greensland state government. "And if you look at another country such as New Zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base, they are actually up around 50 percent/7 he said.Researchers say the bacteria also make the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers. But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate the bacteria before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.Another group of scientists, meanwhile, have suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos. And about 20 percent of health-conscious Australians are believed to eat the national symbol already.It's low in fat, it's got high protein levels and it is very clean in the sense that basically it is free-range（放养的）animal,“ said Peter Ampt of the University of New South Wales5 institute of environmental studies.1、 Scientists intend to put bacteria into cattle and sheep.A. to help Australian farmers to earn more moneyB , to prevent them from sending out harmful gasesC. so that they can protect Australian ecosystemD. so that they can make full use of special bacteria2、Athol Klieve seems to believe that.A. farm animals are to blame for greenhouse gasesB less cattle and sheep are raised in New ZealandC. cattle and sheep produce less carbon dioxide D.

After the speech, I was asked to see a special student. An illness had kept the boy at home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed. He was Matthew. When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal weight lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles（障碍） and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain（抱怨）.He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. He knew what he was talking about. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion（冠军）.You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I got the news that Matthew had died and a letter Matthew had written me a few days before:Dear Rick,My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. The doctors tell me that I don't have long to live any more. But I still smile as much as I can.I told you some day I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I'll never make it. But I know I'm a champion, and God knows that too.
