  It had been a difficult move. I’d left my family and friends in Indiana, the beloved state where I’d lived most of my life. My new home in Florida was thousands of miles away from anything I knew. It was hot—all the time. Jobs were hard to come by, but I was up for almost any challenge.

At last, I taught in a special school where students have severe learning and behavioral difficulties.

Another teacher and I had spent weeks teaching the children appropriate behavior for public outings. Unexpectedly, only a few students, including Kyle, had not earned the privilege of going. He was determined to make his disappointment known.

In the corridor(走廊) between classrooms, he began screaming, cursing, spitting, and swinging at anything within striking distance. Once his outburst died down, he did what he’d done when he was angry at all his other schools, at home, even once at a juvenile detention(拘留)center. He ran.

People watched in disbelief as Kyle dashed straight into the heavy morning traffic in front of the school.

I heard someone shout, “Call the police!”

But I ran after him.

Kyle was at least a foot taller than me. And he was fast. His older brothers were track stars at the nearby high school. But I could run long distances without tiring. I would at least be able to keep him in my sight and know he was alive.

After several blocks of running directly into oncoming traffic, Kyle slowed his pace.

He took a sharp left. Standing next to a trash bin, Kyle bent over with his hands on his knees. I must have looked ridiculous. But his was not a look of fear. I saw his body relax. He did not attempt to run again. Kyle stood still and watched me approach. I had no idea what I was going to say or do, but I kept walking closer.

He opened his mouth to speak when a police car pulled up, abruptly filling the space between Kyle and me. The school principal and an officer got out. They spoke calmly to Kyle, who willingly climbed into the back of the vehicle. I couldn’t hear what was said, but I didn’t take my eyes off Kyle’s face, even as they drove away.

I couldn’t help but feel that I had failed him, that I should have done or said more, that I should have fixed the situation.

I shared my feelings with a speech therapist who was familiar with Kyle’s history. “No one ever ran after him before, Rachel,” she said. “No one. They just let him go.”

Things changed the day he ran and I ran after him, even though I didn’t have the right words, even though I wasn’t able to save him from the mess he was in. It was the day I didn’t throw my hands in the air and decide he was too fast, a waste of time and effort , a lost cause. It was the day my mere presence was enough to make a profound difference.

【解析】

试题分析:在本文中作者讲述了自己在做老师期间所经历的一件事。问题学生Kyle因没被允许远足而发飙,当别人打电话叫警察时,出于担心作者奋然跟随Kyle跑了出来,当终于追上Kylek时,警车却把似乎被感动了的Kyle带走了,虽然没能挽回什么作者却知道自己的行为产生了一些影响。

1.D细节理解题。根据文中“No one ever ran after him before, Rachel,” she said. “No one. They just let him go.”可知在作者之前没有人跟随在发飙后的Kyle 身后,所以D选项正确。

2.A细节理解题。文中讲到….even once at a juvenile detention(拘留)center. He ran.由此可知Kyle仅在拘留所呆过一次,所以A选项内容错误.。

3.A细节理解题.根据文章内容可知Kyle因为不能外出郊游而发飙,跑出校园,当老师的作者紧跟在身后,一口气跑了几个街区,直到他停下来,当作者正要走近他的时候警车来了把Kyle带走了。由此可知A选项正确。

4.B主旨大意题。本文讲述的是作者自己当老师期间所发生的一件事。问题学生Kyle发怒跑出学校后,作者紧跟其后,而老师的这种行为是Kyle从来没有见过的,由此他受到了感动,所以用A Teacher Who

Run作为题目,更贴切的反应出作者行为的力量,故最佳答案为B。

  An experiment was once done by Karl von Frish, in which he studied bee activities when they returned to their home called a hive (蜂房). The experiment showed that there was a means by which a bee communicated to other bees that it had found food. That was dance!

  In fact, bees do two kinds of dances to tell other bees of their food discovery. First, there is a circle dance, in which the bee moves in a circle inside the hive. The circle dance is used when the food is not more than ten meters away. A second kind of dance done by the bee is a waggling (摇摆) dance. That is to say, the bee wiggles (摆动) the end of its body as it moves in a straight line, then it turns in a semicircle (半圆), runs straight again. The waggling dance is used when the food is more than ten meters away. Meanwhile, in the two dances, the bees smell the dancing bee that has found the food. The smell tells them where to find the flower and also what kind of flower to look for.

  For this really interesting work, Karl von Frisch won a Nobel Prize.

1.Karl von Frisch won a Nobel Prize for ________.

[  ]

A.communicating with bees

B.having studied bees' activities

C.setting up an experimental base

D.the discovery of bees' looking for food

2.If the food is ________ away, the bee will move in a circle.

[  ]

A.16 metres
B.20 meters
C.8 meters
D.30 metres

3.Which of the following can show the waggling dance?

[  ]

A.
B.
C.
D.

4.The bees know where to find the food by the ________ of the bee that has found it.

[  ]

A.color
B.design
C.smoke
D.smell

5.Which of the following statements may be true?

[  ]

A.Karl von Firsch did the experiment to find out if bees had a language of their own.

B.In their spare time, bees often do two kinds of dances.

C.Bees can communicate to one another as human beings do.

D.In the circle dance, the bee waggles the hind half of its body.

A woman suffering from cancer during pregnancy can pass the disease on to her unborn child, scientists have shown in a study that solves a puzzle that has confused doctors for a century.

The rare occurrence of a mother and child appearing to share the same cancer---of which there have been about 30 known cases---is a result of genetic mutation (基因突变) that allows the cancer to pass to the baby unnoticed.

There was previously no genetic evidence to explain why a child’s immune system would not recognize and destroy any invasive cancer cells that were of maternal---and therefore, foreign origin.

The new study, led by Mel Greaves, of the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), and published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, used advanced genetic fingerprinting to prove that infant’s leukaemic cells (白血病细胞) were unquestionably of maternal origin.

The case, involving a Japanese mother aged 28 and her daughter, showed that both patients’ leulaemic cells carried the identical transformed cancer gene BCR-ABL even though the infant had not inherited (遗传的) this gene.

This meant that the child, who had cancer diagnosed at 11 months, old, could not have developed this type of leukaemia in isolation.

To investigate how the cells could have crossed the placental barrier (胎盘膜) and survived in the offspring (后代), the scientists looked for evidence of some form of immunological (免疫学的) acceptance of tolerance of the foreign cells by the foetus (胎儿).

Professor Greaves, who worked with colleagues in Japan with funding from Leukaemia Reasearch, said that it had bee assumed that cancer spread was impossible because of the placenta’s role in preserving materno-foetal (母体-胎儿) health.

61.  What is the main idea of the passage?

A. An Unborn child can be infected by the mother with cancer.

B. Scientists have solved a confusing puzzle for a century.

C. A genetic mutation leads to the cancer of the unborn child.

D. Women can’t be cured during pregnancy.

62.  Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. There are many cases of a genetic mutation causing cancer.

B. No genetic evidence is known why the unborn child was infected.

C. Mel Greaves’s study indicates the infant’s leukaemic cells were of maternal origin.

D. Based on Mel Greaves’s study, mothers may know cancer’s transportation.

63.  What was used to prove the infant’s leukeaemic cells were from the mother?

A. genetic mutation      B. placental barrier 

C. immune system       D. genetic fingerprinting

64.  What does the underlined phrase “in isolation” mean in the 6 paragraph?

A. in a hurry    B. in no way    C. on purpose    D. on its own

65. What can we infer from the passage?

   A. The placental barrier doesn’t prevent any disease.

   B. Earlier theories supposed cancer couldn’t go across placenta.

   C. Scientists have got evidence for some diseases.

   D. Professor Greaves gets money from the government.
