When a new family moved in next door, my children started to play with their children and I got to meet the mother of the family, Lydia. Lydia is Korean, and her family moved to our city so her husband could go to graduate school. We started talking, and she was apologetic about how bad her English was. I had the same feeling about my Korean. Actually, her English was so much better than my Korean. I enjoyed chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play. It was what came next that challenged me very badly. Lydia asked if Id be willing to help her with her English. Im not a teacher but I admire teachers. Its because I admire what they do so much that I was very sure that I couldnt do it myself. But Lydia was sure that she wanted my help. I wasnt sure my “help” was even worth being called by that name. But because she asked me, I said “yes”.And that was the beginning of a friendship. Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading the newspaper, and as we did, she asked me questions about language, and also about the new culture she found herself in. In turn, I asked my own questions, growing curious about her home country and culture. We bonded（结合）over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs. Because of Lydia, I learned more about my own hometown than I ever could have learned by myself. Im still not sure whether Im as good as a teacher. But Im grateful I said “yes” . That meant spending extra time with my neighbor, and that extra time meant she didnt remain just my neighbor. She became my friend.24. Why did Lydia move to California? A.She looked for a job. B. She worked as a tutor.C. She went to help her kids learn English. D. She acpanied her husband to study.25. What did the author think of her Korean? A. It was good. B. It was perfect. C.

Secret of Language LearningC. Realization of a Teaching DreamD. Importance of Mastering English Until recently, scientists had mapped only about 20 percent of the sea floor. But our knowledge of the deep seas is changing because of information from satellites. Scientists have produced a new map that provides a detailed picture of the oceans. The map is expected to help oceanographers (海洋学家), industry and governments.The new map is twice as detailed as the map made 20 years ago. David Sandwell is a geophysics professor at the University of California. He and other scientists worked on the mapping project. He says they turned to space to look deeper into the ocean.The scientists collected and studied information from two satellites. Some of the data came from the European Space Agencys Cryo-2 satellite. It was placed in Earths orbit to watch sea ice. The other satellite is the American Space Agencys Jason-1. It is studying the surface of the oceans. Scientists bined the satellite data with images gathered by sonar (声波定位仪) equipment on ships. Sonar works by sending sound waves through the water. When the sound waves hit an object, its presence is confirmed.The new map shows the sea floor as it has never been seen before. It shows thousands of underwater mountains and places where continents pulled apart. It shows where earthquakes were active many years ago. They all are buried deep underneath the ocean floor.David Sandwell says the map is a powerful tool for fisheries, those interested in protecting the environment and for oil exploration.“The petrol exploration industry is interested in how to reconnect the continents, bring them back together technically so you can map the basins（盆地）on one continental edgesay, Africaand use that to establish where the similar basin would be on the other continental edge in South America.”If scientists know that information, they may be able to find oil fields. The new data also will help scientists improve their estimates of ocean depths. This information can help ships travel safely and improve military operations and scientific projects worldwide.Mr. Sandwell thinks scientists will make many more discoveries as they examine the new map and the information it provides.28. The text is likely to appear in _.A. a science fiction B. an advertisementC. a science magazine D. a finance report29. What can we know about the new map?A. It shows where earthquakes will happen.B. It will be helpful to industry and governments.C. It is based on the data gathered by the spaceships.D. It is three times as detailed as the old one years ago.30. Which one is not mentioned about the benefits brought by the new map?A. Fisheries. B. Scientific projects. C. Ship manufacture. D. Oil exploration.31. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. The detailed picture of the oceans.B. Underwater mountains and places.C. More discoveries about the oceans.D. Scientists create new maps of ocean floor.DScientists in Argentina have created the worlds first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.Genetic engineering was used to introduce the “mothers milk” genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.“As an adult, the cloned cow will produce milk that is similar to that of humans, which will prove a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants(婴儿)”, said the institute. “The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk,” said the statement.In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of humans.“Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune（免疫） system of infants,” said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said that the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had refused the “honor” of having the cow named after her. “They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”32. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways to improve mothers milk.B. The importance of genetic engineering.C. A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.D. Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.33. Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Para 4?A. be more similar toB. be more different fromC. have more nutrition thanD. have more varieties than34. What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchners statements?A. She felt it improper to be named after the cow.B. She considered it an honor to name the special cow.C. She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.D. She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.35. Whats Adrian Muttos attitude to the genetic engineering?A. negative B. supportive C. indifferent D. mixed第二节（共 5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。We all know that being grateful and appreciative is very beneficial. 36 Gratitude belongs to the category of advanced life skills because it can pletely transform your life.Help others turn away from negativity.
