10.Once when I was a teenager,my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus.Finally,there was only one family between the ticket office and us.This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children,all probably under the age of 12.You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.Their clothes were not expensive,but they were clean.The children talked excitedly about the clowns.It was clearly a very important day out for them.The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.
The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted,he proudly answered,"Please let me buy eight Childers's tickets and two adults'tickets,so I can take my family to the circus."
The ticket lady told him the price.
The man's wife lowered her head.There was no longer a smile on the man's face.He quietly asked,"How much did you say?"
The ticket lady again told him the price.
The man obviously didn't have enough money.But how could he tell his kids the bad news?Seeing what was happening,my dad took a﹩20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground.(We were not rich ourselves at all!) He then tapped the man on the shoulder and said,"Excuse me,sir,you dropped this."
The man understood my father was helping him.He picked up the money,looked straight into my dad's eyes,and in tears replied."Thank you.This really means a lot to me and my family."
Although we did not go to the circus that night,we didn't go without

分析 在我十幾歲的時(shí)候,有一次我和父親在排隊(duì)買馬戲票.終于,在我們前面買票的只有一家人了.
那家人給我留下了很深的印象.那家一共有八個(gè)小孩,大致都在12歲以下.你能判斷出他們并不富裕.
他們的衣服不是很貴,卻干凈整潔.孩子們興奮地談?wù)撝〕螅畬?duì)他們來說這顯然是非常重要的一天,他們的父親和母親似乎很高興.
女售票員問父親要多少張票.他自豪的回答說:"請(qǐng)給我八張兒童票和兩張成人票,這樣我可以帶全家人一起看馬戲."
女售票員告訴了他票價(jià).那個(gè)人的妻子低下了頭,在男人的臉上已經(jīng)不再有笑容,他平靜地問道"你說要多少錢?"
女售票員又告訴了他一遍價(jià)格.
這個(gè)人顯然沒有足夠的錢.但他怎么能把這個(gè)壞消息告訴他的孩子們呢?
看到發(fā)生的這一切,我父親從口袋里掏出了一張20美元的鈔票并扔在了地上.(我們根本也不富有!)然后他拍拍那個(gè)男人的肩膀說:"哦,先生,這是從您的口袋里掉出來的!"
那個(gè)人明白我父親正在幫他.他撿起了錢,直直的地注視著我父親的雙眼,流著淚他回答到"先生.這確實(shí)對(duì)我和我的家人很重要."
那天晚上,雖然我們沒有看成馬戲,但是我們絲毫不覺得遺憾.

解答 46.A.句意理解題.根據(jù)Their clothes were not expensive,but they were clean,可知這句話的意思是他們的衣服不昂貴,但是很干凈.由此可見父母為他們付出很多,說明這些孩子們被照顧的很好.故選D.
47.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)The man obviously didn't have enough money.可知這個(gè)男人沒有足夠的錢,也就是票價(jià)太貴所以不高興了.故選D.
48.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)Seeing what was happening,my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground,可知這20美元是我父親的,故選B.
49.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"Thank you.This really means a lot to me and my family."可知我的父親幫了這一家一個(gè)大忙,他被父親的善良感動(dòng)而深表謝意.故選D.
50.A.推理判斷題:根據(jù)He picked up the money,looked straight into my dad's eyes,and in tears replied."Thank you.This really means a lot to me and my family.",可知他撿起了錢,直直的地注視著我父親的雙眼,流著淚回答到"先生.這確實(shí)對(duì)我和我的家人很重要."從這里可以推測出那個(gè)人可能用那些錢買了票,
所以可以說這一家人那天晚上看上了馬戲,故選A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇逸聞趣事類的閱讀短文.做題時(shí)首先對(duì)原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.其次,細(xì)讀題材,各個(gè)擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細(xì)細(xì)閱讀材料后的問題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息.

15.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 at science and finished bottom of his class.Now,aged 79,the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell(干細(xì)胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many scientists,Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance(堅(jiān)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 criticisms,Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard.He went to the lab early 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。 of the adult frog.This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996,the first cloned mammal(哺乳動(dòng)物) in the world.
In 2006,Gurdon's work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample (樣本) of a person's skin can be used to create stem cells.Using the 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."

14.Richard John Roberts is the winner of the 1993Nobel Prize in Physiology or medicine.Richard  was born in Derby,England on September 6,1943.When he was four,Roberts'family moved to Bath.The following is what he remembers about his time in a small school in Bath.
"From age eight to eleven,I attended a small school in Bath,England.It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to age.For the most part,one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class.However,sometimes the headmaster,Mr.Ronald Broaches,would come in and spend an hour or so,teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested.He was a large man with a very happy nature.He had a sense of humor(幽默感) and enjoyed telling the children small stories that would make us laugh.He was a very fair man and had a great influence on many of the children.In my own case,I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles(難題).He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket(口袋),often with a puzzle already on it.As time went on,the puzzles slowly got more difficult,but I loved them.Not only that,they made me interested in math and problem solving that stays with me to this day.They also served to show me that intellectual(智力的) activity was rewarding when the correct answers were found,but perhaps more importantly it was great fun.To this day,I can still remember Mr.Broaches'cheerful cry of"Well done!"whenever I got a problem right.The simple communication with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life.I shall forever be thankful that our paths crossed.Mr.Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.Unluckily,I had no chance to speak to him before he died.I learnt later that he had heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life."

106.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成句子填空(每空限填一個(gè)單詞).
From the first paragraph of the passage,we knowwho Richard John Roberts is and when andwhere he was born.
