24、 Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.
Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless in science and finished bottom of his class. However, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell(干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance(坚持不懈) can lead.
At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon's high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was quite ridiculous．
In spite of his teacher's criticism（批评）, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab earlier and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
“My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work，” Gurdon said.
In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic(基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone(克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996, the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物) in the world.
In 2006, Gurdon's work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample(样本) of a person's skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.
“Luck favors the prepared mind，”Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don't work, but when they do, you have to seize (抓住) the chance.”
【1】Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?
A.Sir John Gurdon. B.Shinya Yamanaka.
C.Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka. D.Gurdon's science teacher.
【2】What does the underlined word “ridiculous” mean in Chinese?
A.无知的 B.无畏的 C.荒废的 D.荒谬的
【3】According to the passage, which statement is true?
A.As a boy, Gurdon was told he was hopeful.
B.Gurdon ranked first at his high school in biology.
C.It's impossible for the doctors to repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.
D.In spite of his teacher's criticism, Gurdon kept working hard.
【4】What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Ninety percent of the time things don't work. B.Luck favors the prepared mind.
C.Life is full of surprises. D.How cells actually work.
25、Once upon a time, there was a captain (船长) who loved money so much that he cheated (欺骗) his sailors at the end of every voyage (航行) and took their wages (工钱).
On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, “If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages.”
The sailors had heard about the captain’s cheating, so they didn’t believe him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away.
“You are cheating,” the captain said to the sailor. “The fire’s warming you.”
“But it’s half a mile away!” said the sailor.
“A fire’s fire,” answered the captain. “I win.”
The sailor came out of the water, and said, “Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can’t cook a chicken.”
“I can,” answered the captain.
“If you cook this chicken,” said the sailor, “I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can’t, you will give me your ship.”
The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, “Where’s the fire?”
“There it is,” answered the sailor. “On the shore.”
“But it’s half a mile away,” said the captain angrily.
“‘A fire’s fire,’ you said,” answered the sailor. “If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough to cook your chicken.”

C．It was the sailor who was cleverer.

【2】The captain insisted (坚持) that the fire was warming the sailor because he ________.
A．wanted to keep his promise
B．didn’t believe the sailor’s success
C．didn’t want the sailor to win the bet (赌约)
D．wanted to show his cleverness
【3】What is the best title of the story?
A．A Sailor and Some fishermen
B．A Fire Is Fire
C．A Sad Sailor
D．A Clever Captain
26、Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites(卫星) to find the user’s position (位置). It can find your position within(不出某段距离) 20 meters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting(环绕) the Earth.
The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.
【1】According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people _______.
A．can’t be lost in a new city
B．can’t find their way in different countries
C．can learn about the culture of an unknown place
D．can spend the least time getting to
【2】The underlined word “They” in paragraph3 means “_______”.
A．ground stations.
B．GPS devices
C．satellites
D．receivers
【3】The passage is mainly about _______.
A．the history of the GPS
B．the introduction of the GPS
C．the shape of the GPS
D．the three parts of the GPS
【4】What can we infer(推测) from the passage?
A．All GPS devices have electronic maps.
B．People in many countries will use the GPS for free.
C．The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.
D．The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.

28、根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。
When you hear the word hero, you may think of someone like Mahatma Gandhi or Nelson Mandela. But there are also "everyday" heroes—they may not be 【1】 to the public, but they do what they can to help improve people's lives as well. Everyday heroes are normal people who are working to make the world a better place. 【2】 them is Robert Lee.
Lee grew up in New York City. 【3】 his family was not rich, he learned the importance of not wasting food from a young age. When in college, he was part of a student group that gave out leftover（剩余的） food to homeless people. This experience made him realize how 【4】 the problem of food waste actually was.
After he left university, Lee gave up a well-paid job and 【5】 his own business called Rescuing Leftover Cuisine(RLC). RLC runs simply. Just using an app developed by Lee's team, restaurants report how much leftover food they have each day. Then volunteers are sent to get it. They never drive or use other public transportation as the distance is usually short. 【6】 they can just do their deliveries（递送）by walking from the restaurants to the shelters. Lee believes it is a quick way of delivery.
So far, Lee and his team have successfully saved over 150,000 kilograms of food, serving almost 300,000 meals to people who need them. Lee has shown that a small action can make a big difference to our life than we imagine. When Lee is 【7】 what his next plan is, he replies there's still a long way to go. This is just the 【8】. With more restaurants, who knows how much more we can do.
