26、   He Jiang, a postgraduate(研究生) in biology, will become the first Chinese student to give a speech in the commencement(毕业典礼) at Harvard University on May 26.

Given the highest honor by the university, He Jiang, who was born in a small village in Hunan Province, said, "People in China often believe that it's useless to study and children from the countryside cannot be successful in the future. However, I cannot agree with them. Education can change a person's life. I hope my experience can encourage the students from the countryside to spare no effort in study and make their dreams come true."

Different from many other families in the village, his parents never thought about finding a job in big cities and leaving their two sons at home without their care. His father was strict about their studies. He and his younger brother studied at home while the other kids in the village played in the fields. Unlike his strict father, his mother took her sons' side when her husband scolded the boys. She preferred to sit with her sons when they studied rather than chat with other women in the village.

Getting the chance to speak at the commencement is no accident. During his first days in Harvard, it was quite difficult for him to follow the professors in class and he was speechless in campus because of his poor English. Instead of giving up, He Jiang spent all his free time on English. He also made friends with natives to improve his spoken English. One year later, he had little difficulty in class and soon became one of the top students in his class. With the encouragement from Professor Diana Eck, He Jiang decided to apply(申请) for the chance to speak at the commencement." Few Chinese students had applied before, but I wanted to have a try. I just want to realize my idea of letting more people hear the voice from China and telling them that China is not what it used to be." said He Jiang. After beating three students from Harvard Kennedy School in the third and final round, He Jiang made it to get the chance to speak at the commencement.

He Jiang will go to Massachusetts Institute of Technology after graduating from Harvard.

【1】Where will He Jiang give the speech?

A.Harvard University. B.Hunan Province.

C.Harvard Kennedy School. D.Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

【2】The underlined part "spare no effort in study" means "______".

A.get ready for study B.try their best in study C.enjoy themselves in study D.be interested in study

【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.He Jiang is the only child in the family.

B.Both of He Jiang's parents were very strict with him.

C.He Jiang's parents never tried to find a job in a big city.

D.He Jiang often played in the fields with other kids in the village.

【4】Paragraph 4 mainly tells us ______.

A.how He Jiang got the chance B.how hardworking He Jiang was

C.why He Jiang applied for the chance D.what He Jiang studied in Harvard

【5】From the passage, we can know that ______.

A.like father, like son B.the early birds get worms

C.practice makes perfect D.where there is a will, there is a way

27、   Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.

A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols made up of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.

Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.

After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, showing that they were performing a calculation(计算), not just remembering the value of each combination.

When the team studied the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it.

"This shows that there is a certain way number is represented in their brains, "Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”

【1】What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?

A.They fed them. B.They named them.

C.They trained them. D.They washed them.

【2】How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?

A.By drawing a circle. B.By touching a screen.

C.By watching videos. D.By mixing two drinks.

【3】What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?

A.They could perform basic addition. B.They could understand simple words.

C.They could remember numbers easily. D.They could hold their attention for long.

【4】In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?

A.Science. B.Health. C.Education. D.Entertainment.

28、On a snowy day, Robert Louis Stevenson took a paintbrush and draw a map of the island called treasure island. He named the hills, rivers and harbors of the island one by one. And all the faces of the characters came to his m【1】. So the book Treasure Island was born.

The main character is a boy called Jim Hawkins, living in a safe and p【2】 world with his parents at the beginning. This life l【3】 until he found a map showing the location of the island with huge treasure that had been h【4】 by the terrible pirate Captain Flint. Jim joined Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney on a j【5】 to find the treasure along with a number of different pirates, who were led by the fearful Long John Silver. During the adventure, the boy got over his fear to fight bravely a【6】 the pirates. In the end, he successfully returned home with the treasure and he also g【7】 into a mature young man. So many readers think Jim’s search for treasure is a process for his search for h【8】.

In this book, readers can enjoy the adventure fun and exciting travel experiences all the time, so it can be said that if Chinese children grow up reading Journey to the West, then W【9】 children grow up reading Treasure Island. This book is also praised as the g【10】 adventure stories after “Robinson Crusoe”.
