【题目】A T-shirt a day has kept unemployment away for an American man who is making about 85,000 a year by selling advertising space on his shirt.

Jason Sadler,26,was once a former marketing expert from Florida. In 2008, he founded his own company, I wear your shirt,with the idea to wear a T-shirt supplied by any company and then use social media tools to develop the company. Sadler charges the face value of the day for his human billboard(广告牌)service. So January 1 costs $1,while December 31 costs $365. He said this may not sound like a lot, but it adds up to $66,795 a year if he sells out every day, which he did this year. He also sells monthly sponsorships (赞助) for $1,500,adding another $18,000 to his income.

I walk around, take photos, wear the shirt all day... I blog about those photos. I put them up on Twitter. I change my Facebook introduction... and then I do a Youtube video. I made about $83,000 this year, Reuters Television. The average U. S. income is about $615 a week or about 32,000 a year,according to the U. S. government.

Sadler has already begun to plan for his year 2010. He is making services larger by hiring another person to wear a shirt a day on the west coast of the United States.

A. taking photos

B. writing blogs

C. making money

【答案】【1】 A

【2】 D

【3】 B

【4】 C

【解析】【1】细节理解题。由第二段中的So January 1 costs $1,while December 31 costs $365.可推断出12月30日是$364。

【2】推理判断题。由第三段的内容可知Jason Sadler在Twitter,Facebook和Youtube上投放广告,但只是接受Reuters Television的采访,故选D。

【3】细节理解题。由尾段尾句He is making services larger by hiring another person to wear a shirt a day on the west coast of the United States.可知Jason Sadler计划(于2010年)雇用美国西海岸开发业务。

【4】主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了一名年轻人靠自己的特色创意赢得商机,赚钱获利的故事。

【题目】More than four decades ago British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human life growing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab. Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine

The prize for Dr Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008, includes900,000 cheque. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as a "milestone in modern medicine"

With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester-born physiologist developed IVF — leading to the birth of the world's first test tube baby. Dr Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertili-

-ty treatment and given hope to millions of couples

It was a scientific breakthrough that transformed the lives of millions of couples. They said: "His achievemen-

-ts have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes human unable to have a baby. This condition has beenafflictinga large percentage of mankind including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.”

Louise Brown, the world's first test tube baby, made international headlines when she was born in Oldham, Gtr Manchester, in 1978 to parents Lesley and John who had been fruitlessly trying for a baby since 1969

Ivf-in-vitro fertilisation is the process whereby egg cells are fertilised outside the body before being implanted in the womb. After a cycle of IVF, the probability of a couple with infertility problems having a baby is one in five — the same as healthy couples who conceive naturally

Professor Edwards, who has five daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955He once said: "The most important thing in life is having a child. Noth-

-ing is more special than a child.” With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridge shire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment

But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who said it was "unethical and immoral"

Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive(生殖的) sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was "long overdue". He said: “We couldn't understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted — this is the cherry on the cake for him.”

Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was "thrilled and delighted"

1What is Robert Edwards’ contribution to science?

A. Challenging a disease which stops human having a baby

B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growing.

C. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life

D. Helping couples with infertility to have tube babies

2What does the underlined word “afflicting”Paragraph 4most probably refer to?

A. Troubling. B. Developing.

C. Improving. D. Confusing.

3Why did Professor Edwards begin his research on tube baby?

A. Because he thought it of great significance to have a child in life

B. Because the birthrate around the world was unexpectedly low then

C. Because a special child did make a difference to an ordinary family

D. Because his fellow scientist wanted to give hope to the unlucky couples

4It can be inferred from Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 that ___________

A. some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awarded

B. different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards’ finding

C. Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthrough

D. the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral

5What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Life Stories of Robert Edwards

B. Preparations for Having a Baby

C. Nobel Prize for IVF Expert Edwards

D. Treatment of Infertility in a Lab
