As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about the Endangered Species Act. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves. Twenty stories later, though, it’s the story in Alaska that I’ll remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness—and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That’s the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor. Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some days she was so sick she couldn’t watch TV. Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself, it’s often bigger than the doctor want it to be. Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days are already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learn to simplify, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don’t. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer. In the end each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even thought it turns out that Kathy’s cancer has not spread, and her prognosis(診斷) is good, we try to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day. I’ve picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes(雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is we’re living for. 1. As a photographer, the author used to ______. A. leave his daughter with a pack of gray wolves. B. express his love for his family in a special way. C. miss a great many important historical moments. D. devote much more to his career than his family. 2. Why did the author decide to stop taking pictures? A. To cure his own disease. B. To spend more time with his wife. C. To seek a better position. D. To leave the wildness alone. 3. What is the biggest change the cancer has brought to the author? A. He treasured every bit of time with his family. B. He has become a stranger to his children. C. He takes his work more seriously. D. He focuses more on medical care. 4. The author and his family catch snowflakes on their tongues probably because______. A. the snowflakes taste very good. B. snowflakes are what they feed on. C. they regard that as a way to enjoy life. D. there is beautiful light in the snowflakes. 參考答案1—4、DBAC 閱讀理解。 　 Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America. Rightly so, but selfishly, I’m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see. 　　Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers. 　　These images have helped define the way all women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself. 　　It won’t be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all. Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they’d like to see Michelle bring to the White House—mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone—an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉著), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that’s been around for far too long. 【文章大意】本文大意為：隨著奧巴馬將要成為美國新一屆總統(tǒng)，Michelle 即將成為第一夫人。作為一個(gè)黑人婦女Michelle或許會改變?nèi)藗儗鹘y(tǒng)黑人女性的看法。 　　36. Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author? 　　A) She serves as a role model for African women. 　　B) She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady. 　　C) She will present to the world a new image of African-American women. D) She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women. 【答案】C 【 解析】Michelle 即將成為美國第一夫人，成為人們聚焦的中心，她將會改變?nèi)藗儗谌伺缘目捶ǎ碇谌伺缘男滦蜗蟆? 　　37. What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author? 　　A) They are victims of violence. B) They are of an inferior violence. C) They use quite a lot of body language. D) They live on charity and social welfare. 【答案】B 【 解析】根據(jù)文章第二段The prevailing theory seems to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers內(nèi)容可知答案為B。 　　38. What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs? 　　A) Whether Michelle can live up to the high expectations of her fans. 　　B) How Michelle should behave as a public figure. 　　C) How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House. D) What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the White House. 【答案】D 【 解析】根據(jù)文章最后一段Many African-American blogs have written about what they’d like to see Michelle bring to the White House可知答案為D。 　　39. What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady? 　　A) However many fans she has, she should remain modest, 　　B) She shouldn’t disappoint the African-American community. 　　C) However hard she tries, she can’t expect to please everybody. D) She will give priority to African-American women’s concerns. 【答案】C 【 解析】根據(jù)文章中Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady.可知，Michelle成為了第一夫人，她會有很多的支持者，也會受到很多的批評。所以她不可能取悅每個(gè)人。 　　40. What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will do? 　　A) Help change the prevailing view about black women. 　　B) Help her husband in the task of changing America. 　　C) Outshine previous First Lady. D) Fully display her fine qualities. 【答案】A 【 解析】根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis.

Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color. The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science. Scientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebrafish（斑馬魚） to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment (色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin color is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanin (黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanin per pigment cell determine skin color. It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation (變異) in the gene for melanin production. This results in less pigmented skin. However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes. Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun (太陽光紫外線), which can cause skin cancer. But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng. Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin color, said Cheng. The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin color without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson. 16. The passage mainly tells us that ________. A. people can not change their skin color without any pain B. the new discovery could lead to research into ways to change skin color safely C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin color as he liked D. scientists have found out that people’s skin color is determined by the gene 17. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. nowadays people who want to change their skin color have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatment B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene C. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer D. there are two kinds of genes 18. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebrafish in order to ________. A. find the different genes of humans’ B. prove the humans’ skin color is determined by the pigment gene C. find out the reason why the Africans’ skin color is dark D. find out the ways of changing people’s skin color 19. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that _____ A. they are born light-skinned people B. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gene for melanin production C. they have fewer activities outside D. they pay much attention to protecting their skin 20. The writer’s attitude towards the discovery is ________. A. neutral（中立的） B. negative C. positive D. indifferent（冷漠） 【參考答案】16—20、DABBC 閱讀理解。 　　When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they’ll be joined by a new face; Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost (教務(wù)長) of Yale, who’ll become Oxford’s vice-chancellor—a position equivalent to university president in America. 　　Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc, have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many businesses, it’s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward from America. 　　The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist (活動(dòng)家) who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a distinctively American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity. 　　Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student number. The decline in government support has made funding-raising an increasing necessary ability among administrators and has hiring committees hungry for Americans. 　　In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.” Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind of promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices. 【文章大意】本文大意為：很多大學(xué)過去政府支持辦學(xué)，但隨著社會的發(fā)展，現(xiàn)在政府支持已經(jīng)滿足不了大學(xué)的發(fā)展，更多的是靠社會籌募資金辦學(xué)，因而很多大學(xué)開始在全球?qū)ふ揖哂羞@種能力的人。 41.
