In 1989 in a Zulu village, Daphne gave birth to a baby named Nkosi. As the
months passed, the doctor found that the baby was infected with HIV, and so was
his mother. The identity of his father would remain Daphne’s secret. Daphne was
not yet 20, yet she was dying, and so was her tiny son.
Meanwhile, another South African woman, Gail Johnson, was living a
different life. She and her husband were not wealthy, but a visit to a friend’s
brother, who was in the last stage of AIDS, made her determined to do something.
By October, she had raised enough money to set up a guest house and take in 12
people who were dying of AIDS. Daphne sent her boy to the guest house, where
he became a star.
But in 1992 the guest house had to close for lack of money. Gail offered to
adopt Nkosi. In 1997, Gail sent Nkosi to school, as there was no law preventing
HIV-positive kids from entering South Africa’s schools. Eight-year-old Nkosi
had lived longer than any other child ever born HIV-positive. In the three years at
school Nkosi had only one accident. He fell in the playground and cut his mouth.
The bleeding was handled with care. His school performance was satisfactory.
Nkosi’s progress was followed by the media. Gail took advantage of the
coverage to raise money and found a house in Johannesburg for some women and
their kids. She called it Nkosi’s Haven. Nkosi and Gail became icons (标志) in
the international AIDS community. They were invited to the United States and
made appearances. Then in July 2000, the 13th International Conference on
AIDS was scheduled to be held in Durban.
Nkosi was introduced to a huge audience. “Hi,” he said. “My name is Nkosi
Johnson. I’m 11 years old. I was born HIV-positive. I hate having AIDS, because
I get very sick and I get very sad when I think of all the other children and babies
with AIDS.
“Care for us and accept us. We are all human beings. We are normal. We
have needs just like everyone else. Don’t be afraid of us. We are all the same.”
His tiny body was being attacked by AIDS, but his big heart inspired a nation.
A week after the Christmas in the year 2000, Nkosi asked if he could take a
bath. He lay in the hot water and smiled. A few minutes later he went into a coma
(昏迷). Early on June 1, 2001, Nkosi died. Gail kissed him. “I love you,” she said.
“Go quietly, my darling boy.”
4. From the first paragraph, it can be inferred that _________.
A. Nkosi got infected with HIV when he was born
B. Nkosi didn’t know who his father was
C. Nkosi was deserted by his father

A team of international scientists has published the complete genome(基因
组) of the woolly mammoth(长毛象)- a creature which became extinct(灭绝的)
thousands of years ago.
The study, published in the Journal Current Biology, will probably cheer up
a team of Harvard University researchers who've been planning to add mammoth
genes to the stem cells(干细胞) of elephants. Their aim is to find out how the
mammoth's adaptations helped them survive the ice ages.
The Long Now Foundation, based in San Francisco, is financing the Harvard
team and has daring plans for the future if the species is resurrected(使复活). It
says on its website that its goal is "to produce new mammoths that are capable of
repopulating the vast lands of cold desert and forest in Eurasia and North
America." They say: "The goal is not to make perfect copies of extinct woolly
mammoths, but to focus on the mammoth adaptations needed for Asian elephants
to live in the cold climate of the cold desert."
But how close are we from a Jurassic-Park-like scene in which extinct
animals are brought back to life? Very far, according to some experts. Professor
Beth Shapiro, of the University of California, Santa Cruz, wrote a book called
How to Clone a Mammoth. She is sceptical and believes there is a big difference
between an embryo (胚胎) in a lab dish and a living animal with some of the
characteristics of a mammoth. And we can't even be sure if the elephant's
surrogate pregnancy(代孕) would be successful.
Woolly mammoths died out some 4, 000 years ago. It might take a long time
before the fantasy of the Steven Spielberg movies is turned into reality. And that's
fine for those of us who can remember that the resurrected dinosaurs on the
screen gave the humans a pretty hard time. If mammoths come back, maybe it
would be a good idea to start running...
8. What can we learn about the team of Harvard University researchers?
A. It is based in San Francisco.
B. It attempts to help elephants survive the cold weather.
C. It has added mammoth genes to the stem cells of elephants.
D. It has published the complete genome of the woolly mammoth.
9. It can be concluded from the article that Beth Shapiro’ attitude towards the
success of the Mammoth cloning is __________.
A. optimistic B. doubtful C. convinced D. unsuspecting
10. By saying “ …it would be a good idea to start running…”in the last
paragraph, the writer really means “…___________”
A. Woolly mammoths are good at running.
B. Woolly mammoths will soon come back to life.
C. Humans will have to drive mammoths away.
D. Humans would be under threat of mammoths.
11. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. Whether dead mammoths can come back to life
B. Mammoths became extinct long ago
C. The challenges to clone mammoths
D. Extinct mammoths being cloned
D
The storm doesn’t always have to pass before we see a rainbow. In fact, this
group of artists would like passers-by to witness a burst of color during a storm.
Students and recent graduates from the School of the Art Institute of
Chicago (SAIC) have created a concept design for sidewalk illustrations ( 图
案 )that appear only when wet. The members of the design team, who are all
South Korean, imagined the project as a way to provide relief during Seoul's
severe monsoon (季风) season.
“Seoul, South Korea, is a vibrant city, ” the group wrote on its portfolio
page. “But during the annual three-week monsoon season, Seoul's energy
disappears under the dark cloud.”
Using this weather as inspiration, the SAIC team developed Project
Monsoon for a contest with Design and Art Direction (D&AD) --- a British group
that promotes education in design and advertising. The Chicago team submitted
their project for the Pantone Challenge, which asks contestants to “reimagine
their hometown through the language of color, ” as written on the D&AD
website.
"When the challenge asked us to reimagine our hometown, it was natural for
us to try to reimagine Seoul," James Lee, one of the designers, told The
第 3 页 共 4 页
Huffington Post in a Facebook message.
Project Monsoon won a D&AD New Blood Black Pencil, which is the
highest possible prize to be awarded for young creatives.
The designs, which are currently only concept renderings(概念效果图) and
have yet to actually be installed, are “inspired by South Korea’s culture of
emphasizing the importance of the flow of rivers, ” as well as the country’s
topography(地貌), and feature(描绘…的特征) illustrations of marine life moving
downstream. The group hopes to someday obtain the resources to put Project
Monsoon into effect in Seoul.
"It looks like people are noticing the work and maybe we might be able get
connected with someone who could bring this idea to life, " Lee said.
12. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
A. People will see a rainbow before the storm passes.
B. All the team members are now studying at SAIC.
C. This group of designers are all from South Korea.
D. The team members are suffering a lot from monsoon season.
13. Which of the following words can substitute for the underlined word
“vibrant” (in Para 3)?
A. energetic B. modern C. prosperous D. bright
14. Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
A. The SAIC team and D&AD are from different countries.
B. D&AD is the contest organizer
C. The SAIC team won the contest.
D. James Lee probably comes from Seoul.
15. The designs are inspired by the following EXCEPT_________.
A. South Korea’s culture.
B. South Korea’s topography.
C. South Korea’s weather.
D. South Korean’s life.
第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 3 分, 满分 15 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。选项
中有两项为多余选项。
Small colleges may offer big opportunities
When you choose your dream college, size matters. 16 . Lots of
students are unsure about a variety of factors when they consider which college
might represent a good fit for them, but they believe they know exactly what they
want when it comes to college size. It’s great to see students make a 180-degree
turn after they’ve had the chance to visit some small colleges. Here are a few of
the less-obvious reasons a smaller school might be a good fit:
The professors actually do the teaching.
Most small colleges only teach undergraduate degrees. 17 , and
more importantly, graduate students – many of whom have no interest in
teaching – won’t be teaching any of your classes.
More focused and direct feedback.
You’ve heard the expression “You’re just a number.” Think about the
homework and tests that need to be graded in a large class with 450 students.
18 . But at small schools, class sizes are smaller, and professors will
have more time to read a student’s work.
19 .
Students at small schools are able to develop relationships with professors
more easily, since there is a smaller amount of students. Most professors
know their students’ names and count on them to take part in their research.
20 .
Since classes tend to be more student-centered at small schools, the
homework are often more writing-based.
Less red tape.
It’s just easier to get things done at a small school. Professors and
administrators have more flexibility (灵活性), and there are fewer regulations.
One of the biggest frustrations at large schools is that important classes become
full quickly, forcing students to either take them over the summer or stay an extra
semester.
A. Research chances.
B. Less challenging homework.
C. Development of stronger writing skills.
D. That means there aren’t graduate students on campus.
E. The size of a school really can change your experience.
F. Students at small schools don’t have to compete with their peers.
G. Teachers there don’t have much time to offer advice on every student’s
piece of work.

As a child, I was in the public library every Saturday. I would check out the

voice, handing me a new book, “we hope you might 23 the library’s

Decades later, I was 25 at Giant Foods Supermarket watching a

“Well, it’s not 35 either, so it’s your lucky day!” I replied, extending
my hand.
At that moment, I realized that my 36 about saving face had started
in that 37 many years before. Rather than enforce(执行)their rule about
how many weeks a book could be 38 , the librarian had helped me save
face by giving me a new copy of “Pippi Longstocking.”
Helping someone 39 face involves giving them a way to exit the
situation with their dignity 40 . It involves creativity, patience, and
sometimes looking the other way.

式。
In life, we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are 41 (entire)
out of our control. For instance, we can work harder than anyone else in the
office and still not be promoted. We can eat healthy food and exercise, and still
get sick.
As 42 result, some people lose heart or even give up after 43
(hit) by even one unfair blow from life. But if we let 44 (we) be defeated
by life’s unfairness, we will never receive the beautiful blessings (福祉) that life
has in store for us.
What I 45 (learn) over the years is that we can do all the things
46 deserve a good outcome, but get bad things in return instead.
When we are faced 47 life’s seeming unfairness, our faith needs
48 (jump) in. When life doesn’t go according to plan, we have to let go of
the outcome and keep trying, working hard and doing the right thing. Please don’t
be 49 (discourage). Accept that life is neither fair nor straightforward.
And by knowing that if we remain confident, we can drive our unfair 50
(experience) away and use them for our benefit.
