17、emed different that day I entered it for the first time. Donna was a school teacher only two years away from retirement. In addition she was a volunteer participant in a project I had organized. The training focused on language arts ideas that would make students feel good about themselves and take

18、 charge of themselves. Donna’s job was to attend training classes and carry out the ideas being presented. My job was to make classroom visits and ensure the ideas to be carried out. I took a seat in the back of the room and watched. All the students were working on a task, filling a piece of

19、paper with thoughts. “I can’t kick the soccer.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Everyone was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do. Thinking why students and teacher were focusing on the negative instead of writing the more positive “I Can” statements, I returned to my seat and cont

20、inued my observations. “Finish the one you’re on and don’t start a new one,” said Donna. Students were then instructed to put the papers into an empty box in the front. When all of the students’ paper was collected, she put the lid on the box and headed down the playground. Donna asked the student

21、s out to the corner of the playground. There they began to dig. They were going to bury their “I Can’ts”. The box of “I Can’ts” was placed in a position at the bottom of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. Now, years later, whenever I hear the phrase, like the students, I remember that “I

34、y clone themselves and reproduce asexually. Cloned plants are much more predictable than normal plants, so their yield (產(chǎn)量) is more reliable. Cloned plants also reproduce faster, limiting the amount of time between planting and harvesting. It is also often cheaper to produce seeds through cloning

35、than through traditional methods. Plants can essentially be optimized so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds available. With more yield at a faster rate, farms can produce more food for more people while decreasing overall costs. Cloning can be used to wipe out diseases t

36、hat previously killed off entire fields of crops. This would make plants immune (免疫的) to the kinds of diseases that farmers and gardeners around the world fear each year. Crop failures due to disease and virus could become a thing of the past. Also, plants that are near extinction can be broug

37、ht back to life through cloning. Through cloning scientists can develop “super” fruits and vegetables of superior nutritional quality. This could make for a healthier population overall. This is already being done through selective pollination (授粉), and genetic cloning could take it to the next le

38、vel. By plant cloning we have a population of identical plants and all these plants equally suffer from the same diseases, but in nature the weak would die and the strong would survive. While there are some dangers to consider with plant cloning, there are plenty of benefits that could prove vital

42、w study finds that a species of sea star stays cool using a strategy (策略) never before seen in the animal kingdom. The sea stars soak up (吸收) cold sea water into their bodies during high tide to protect themselves against potentially damaging temperatures brought about by direct sunlight at low tide

43、. “Sea stars were assumed to be unable to do anything to protect themselves from the sun during low tide,” said the study’s lead author, Sylvain Pincebourde of Franois Rabelais University in Tours, France. “This work shows that some sea stars have an unexpected back-up strategy.” Sea stars need to

44、 tolerate rapid changes in temperature. During high tide, they go under the surface of cool sea water. But when the tide is out, the sea stars are often left on rocky shorelines, lying in the sun. Clearly the sea stars had some way of beating the heat, but scientists were unsure how they did it. Pi

45、ncebourde and his team thought it might have something to do with fluid-filled cavities found in the arms of sea stars. So he set up an experiment to test it. The researchers placed the sea stars in fish tanks and varied the water level to simulate (模仿) tidal patterns. Heat lamps were used to contr

46、ol temperature, with some sea stars experiencing higher temperatures than others. The researchers found that the sea stars exposed to higher temperatures at low tide had higher body mass after the high tide that followed. Since the sea stars were not allowed to eat, the increased mass must be from s

47、oaking up water. “The reservoir of cool water keeps the sea stars from overheating when the tide is out again the next day,” Pincebourde said. 48. People used to believe that sea stars . A. saved a lot of water in their body to feed themselves at night B. had no way to protect them

48、selves from the sun during low tide C. could adapt themselves to temperature changes during low tide D. could fill their body with cool or warm water at different times 49. The reservoir of cool water helps the sea star . A. get energy during low tide B. get back to the sea durin

49、g high tide C. to stay wet enough until the next high tide D. keep his body temperature cool in the sunlight 50. The result of the research shows that . A. the sea stars can survive in water only B. the sea stars are very sensitive to light C. the sea stars become larger

50、 in size after high tide D. the sea stars will starve themselves during high tide 第二節(jié) (共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 Q&A Question: I come from a poor family, and my parents do what they can to pay for my education.

52、ell his farm and hunt for diamonds himself. So he sold the farm and spent the rest of his life wandering the African continent, searching unsuccessfully for the gleaming (閃爍的) stones. 52 Meanwhile, back on the farm, the man who had bought his farm happened to be crossing a small stream o

53、n the farm one day. 53 He picked it up. It was a sparkling stone – a good size stone – and, admiring it, he later put it on his mantel (壁爐架). Several weeks later, a visitor looked closely at it, then he nearly became unconscious. He told the farmer it was one of the largest diamonds ever

54、discovered. The farmer said that the stream was full of these brilliant stones, and his farmland was covered with them. 54 If the first farmer had taken time to study and prepare himself – to learn what diamonds looked like in their rough state – and to thoroughly explore the farm he had b

65、mals are dying out for various reasons. There is no doubt that animals are our friends. With World Animal Day coming near, what should we do to protect animals? First of all, we should forbid people’s killing animals at random. Second, we should do all we can to protect animals’ living environment.

66、 With their living environment destroyed, the animals will become extinct sooner or later. Third, we should try our best to make everyone realize the importance of protecting animals. In a way, protecting animals means protecting ourselves. Dear classmates, let’s start now and make every effort to protect animals—our good friends! 希望對大家有所幫助，多謝您的瀏覽！
