My Year Abroad

This month in Travelers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in

year-abroad programmes. Mariko Okada – Tokyo

My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.

Carla Fonseca – Rio de Janeiro

I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home! Alvin Chen – Hong Kong

Studying in New Zealand was an interesting experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my homestay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I’m really glad I went!

36. All the three teenagers went abroad . A. to study English find a job

37. Who didn’t really enjoy the stay in a foreign country very much? A. Mariko. of them.

38. Travelers Corner is most probably . A. a sports club newsletter C. a travel magazine

B. a science documentary

B. Carla.

C. Alvin.

D. None

B. to visit friends C. to have a holiday

D.

to

D. a news website

I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer(扫盲志愿者)last summer. The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.

My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label (标识), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.

As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build herself-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.

As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did. 39. According to the text, Marie is a woman who ___________. A. has three sons

B. has good memory

D. has difficulty in walking around

C. has difficulty in writing

40. After getting help from the author, Marie felt ____________. A. shy

B. proud

C. confident

D. peaceful

41. What did the author get through the program? A. Some beautiful presents.

B. A sense of achievement. D. More ways to help others.

C. More confidence and knowledge.

42. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Woman Who Lacked Self-confidence B. The Literacy Volunteer Changed Our Lives C. A Challenge during My Volunteering Work D. The Volunteering Work Benefited Both of Us

C

Venom(毒液)from a local scorpion(蝎子)in Cuba is being used by Cuban scientists as an effective weapon to fight cancer. The venom, with stopping pain, anti-inflammatory (炎症) and anti-cancer properties, is the active ingredient in the medicine “Vidatox 30 CH which can be used to treat liver, brain, lung and other cancers. The treatment has been successfully used for more than four years in humans after being first tested in biological models. Labiofam, a Cuban laboratory, has breeding(繁殖)centers for both the Red Scorpion and Blue Scorpion. Each month, some 30,000 scorpions in Las Minas town, 270 km east of Havana are made to give the venom. After two years, the scorpions are released back into their natural habitat.

Denyer Sanchez, a biologist from Labiofam, explained that the conditions are adjusted for reproduction, proved by the high number of breeding female scorpions. He said when the offspring(后代)becomes able to live in the environment, we release them because they do not have the necessary size yet to remove their venom, said Sanchez. Sanchez also said that there is still much to research on the exploitation process of scorpions, such as female death rate or the ability to survive of the released scorpions.

Cuban research on the scorpion’s venom began at the end of 1980s in Guantanamo province, the island’s eastern tip, where a group of biologists and doctors became interested in the stories told by the peasants about the venom's benefits. However, the first discovery was made by Cuban biologist Misael Bordier. In 2001, Bordier visited Mexico’s National Autonomous University (UNAM) and presented the research progress in a professional journal. Bordier died in 2005, one year before Cuba's Industrial Property Office gave Labiofam the rights to exploit the patent related to the venom.

43. How are the scorpions dealt with after their venom has been taken for two years? A. Their bodies are used to make medicines. B. They are bred in the laboratory for research. C. They are raised to give birth to the offspring. D. They are set free into their natural habitat.

44. What can we infer from the passage about the research on scorpions? A. The UN provided fund for the research team. B. There is still much to study in detail. C. The achievements will benefit animals.

D. Many scientists doubt about the result of the research. 45. What can we learn about Bordier in the last paragraph? A. He was given the rights to exploit the patent.

B. He began his research at the beginning of the twenty-first century. C. He put forward the research progress in a professional journal. D. He was a peasant who told the stories about the venom’s benefits. 46. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. The various uses of scorpions in Cuba.

B. Cuban biologists’ research on strange diseases. C. Suitable conditions for Cuban scorpions to breed. D. Cuban scorpion venom’s effect on fighting cancer.

D

The technology is great. Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean’s depths or eat microwave sausages. Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.

Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery waving an Internet print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer. The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats are swollen. Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate

self-health-checks.

One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work. While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what’s wrong; I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.”

As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasn’t right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray?” I asked. “Oh, I haven’t been to the doctor for years,” she replied. “I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted, so I knew that’s what I had.”

However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored this.

I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核) —something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.

Mrs. Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered. It was certainly a lesson for her. “I’m so embarrassed,” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested. She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes. Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it. Typical. Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?

47. Mrs. Almond talked about her illness calmly because ___________. A. she had been treated by local doctors medicine online

C. she graduated from a medical school it well

48. It was lucky for Mrs. Almond __________. A. to have her disease identified in time in a short time

B. to have recovered

D. to have contacted many

49. Mrs. Almond said “I’m so embarrassed” (Para. 7) because _____________. A. she had distrusted her close friends doctor’s advice

C. she had caused unnecessary trouble truth to the doctor

50. By mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to prove ________.

A. it’s a must to take a break at work B. it’s unwise to simply rely on technology C. it’s vital to believe in IT professionals D. it’s a danger to work long hours on computers

五、 阅读并回答问题(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

Stephen Hawking (霍金) was born in 1942 in Oxford, England. His father was a specialist in tropical diseases. Stephen wanted to be a scientist too. He went to the University of Oxford and received a degree in physics. He went to the University of Cambridge to study for a Ph.D. During this time doctors discovered that he had ALS (肌萎缩性骨髓侧索硬化症),which is sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease (卢伽雷病). This fatal disease weakens all of the body's muscles. Most people with ALS live for five years. The doctors thought Hawking would live only two and a half more years. When Hawking heard this, he became very depressed.

At about this time he met Jane Wilde, a language student at Cambridge. They fell in love and got married in 1965. Hawking does research about how the universe began. He sees connections and works out explanations that other people cannot. His research has influenced many other scientists. Some of his ideas are so advanced that other scientists cannot prove them yet.

As his disease got worse, money became a problem for Stephen Hawking. He had a lot of medical expenses. He needed special wheelchairs, nurses 24 hours a day, and machines to help him read and speak. To earn extra money, Hawking gave speeches and published articles. Hawking wrote A Brief History of Time. Even though most people could not understand Hawking's ideas, he amazed them. Hawking became world famous.

Hawking's strong personality and spirit have helped him to live with ALS for 30 years. He has helped to make people aware of ALS and other disabilities. Hawking teaches us that even though a person is physically disabled, the mind has no limits(极限).

61. When was Stephen Hawking born?

62. How long did the doctors think Hawking would live?

63. Has Hawking’s research influence other scientists?

64. Why did Hawking give speeches and publish A Brief History of Time? 65. What can you learn from Hawking?
