They focus on what they 21 , and forget to notice and give thanks for what they have. I love the 22 of
13、Thanksgiving - a day to 23 us to give thanks, and I wish it were 24 right across the world. Our lives would be 25 if we got into the habit of giving thanks, not just on one day of the year, but 26 day.

20、读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。A Can people change their skin color without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color. The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 percent of Europeans. The other i
21、s found in 93 to 100 percent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science. Scientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebra-fish (斑马鱼) to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment (色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebra-
22、fish 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 zebra-fish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation (变异) in the gene for melanin production. This results
23、 in less pigmented skin. However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebra-fish genes. Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cance
24、r. 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 so
25、me 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.41. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. people ca
26、n 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 peoples skin color is determined by the gene.42. It can be inferr
27、ed 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 treatment for skin cancer. D. there are two kinds of
28、 genes.43. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra-fish 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 peoples skin
29、 color.44. 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.45. The writers att
30、itude towards the discovery is _. A. neutral B. negative C. positive D. unconcerned B Theres an old saying, “ you are what you eat”. If you look at the average diet, were in trouble. The rise of the society, irregular work hours and a quickening pace of life have led the consumption of fast food to
31、increase. Nearly one in four of the meals we eat are prepared outside the home and they tend to contain more fat, salt and sugar than the homemade food. Alongside the negative health outcomes of fast food are the environmental influences of industrialized food production and management of food waste
32、. Slow Food is a global food network, founded in 1989 in Italy by food activist Carlo Petrini, which has grown to over 100,000 members across 153 countries, including 31 local branches within Australia. Slow food is good, clean and fair food. People who eat slow food believe that the food they eat s
33、hould taste good; that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm to the environment or our health; and that food producers should receive fair reward for their work. Slow food movement has arisen to fight against fast food and fast life, by encouraging us to revalue the time we spend i
34、n preparing, sharing, and consuming food. It aims to enhance the personal connection between food producers and consumers, and reduce our reliance on mass-produced foods purchased from supermarkets. It also advocates for environmental agricultural techniques and encourages the reduction of food addi
35、tives. Perhaps most importantly, it attempts to show how we can revalue the time we spend on food so as to spend in quality food time for our personal ( mental and physical ) and collective ( social, cultural, and environmental ) benefits. Slow Food guides us to take the time to enjoy one of lifes d
36、aily pleasures. Theres no doubt that cooking and eating in general is a lot more enjoyable for life when were not slaves of time. “ Time” serves as a key factor for peoples interest in Slow Food as a form of reasonable consumption, but also a key challenge in terms of adopting a Slow Food lifestyle.
37、 And thats why everybody is always in a hurry, because they dont actually value that thats an important thing to stop. Slowing down requires one to spend more time in educating oneself about food and then obtaining ethically produced food (放心食物).46. The old saying is mentioned at the beginning of th
38、e passage to introduce a topic that _. A. our average diet is in danger. B. fast food is a major problem. C. eating affects greatly on our life. D. quickening pace of life ruins our life.47. Slow food movement was started to _. A. advocate a new lifestyle. B. keep people free from illness C. help pe
39、ople obtain more delicious food. D. develop environmental agriculture techniques.48. The underlined word “ enhance” (Paragraph 5) probably means “ _”. A. decline B. strengthen C. break D. change49. What actually prevents most people enjoying slow food is _. A. a lack of free time B. addiction to fas
40、t food C. a lack of food materials D. too many daily pleasures50. The main message conveyed in the passage is that _. A. Slow Food has grown to be an influential organization. B. Slow Food is a new lifestyle with many benefits for people to follow. C. Slow Food has been accepted and recognized by qu
41、antities of people. D. consuming too much fast food may result in negative effects on peoples health C Nowadays colleges and universities are facing the same problem: online education. At my school, the University of Virginia, it came close to tearing the university apart. A few weeks ago, our presi
42、dent, Teresa A. Sullivan, was dismissed. One reason was that she was not moving forward fast enough on Internet learning. Stanford was offering online courses, Harvard, Yale and M.I.T. too. But Virginia, it seemed, was falling behind. But can online education ever be education of the very best sort?
43、 To deal with the issue, we need to understand exactly how students and teachers are related. As a friend and fellow professor said to me, “ You dont just teach students, you have to learn them too.” With every class we teach, we need to learn who the people in front of us are. We need to know where
44、 they are intellectually, who they are as people and what we can do to help them grow. Teaching is a matter of dialogue. In summer Shakespeare course Im teaching now, Im constantly working to figure out what my students are able to do and how they can develop. Can they grasp the main plots? Is the l
45、anguage hard for them? Then we have to spend more time going over individual speeches word by word. Every memorable class is a bit like a jazz composition. It is controlled in many ways. We tend to think that the attractive lecturers were gifted actors who could manage 50 amazing minutes on the stag
46、e. But I think that the best of those lecturers are highly skilled at reading their audiences. They use practical means to do this - tests and quizzes, paper and evaluations. But they are also expert at sensing the mood of a room. A large lecture class can also create a real learning community. Stud
47、ents will always be running across others from the same class, and theyll break the ice with a chat about it and maybe theyll go on from there. When a teacher hears a student say, “ My friends and I are always arguing about your class,” he knows hes doing something right. From there he applies what
48、he has learned to his teaching, adjusting his course in a skillful and immediate way that the Internet professor cannot easily match. Not long ago I watched an online course about the Bible. It was a very good course. There were Yale students on hand for the filming, but the class seemed addressed t
49、o no one in particular. In fact there was nothing you could get from that course that you couldnt get from a good book on the subject. A truly memorable college class is cooperation between teachers and students. Its a one-time-only event. If youre highly motivated to learn, you can get knowledge fr
50、om an Internet course. But in real courses the students and teachers come together and create an immediate and vital community of learning. A real course creates intellectual joy, at least in some. I dont think an Internet course ever will. Internet learning promises to make learning process more fr
51、uitless and abstract than it already is.51. The writer mentions the dismissal of Teresa A. Sullivan at the beginning of the passage to _. A. show the importance of online courses. B. introduce the issue about online education. C. illustrate Virginias falling behind in Internet learning. D. discuss t
52、eachers different opinions on online learning.52. According to Paragraph 2, the responsibility of a teacher lies in _. A. understanding and teaching students through dialogue B. getting students involved in learning independently. C. teaching students without taking consideration of their needs. D.
53、helping students grow up by offering learning guidance.53. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that the essential point of being a good lecturer is to _. A. make the best of the lecture time on the stage. B. assess students learning by means of testing. C. understand students feelings and responses.
54、D. promote learning by making specific rules.54. Compared with a large lecture class, online courses _. A. enable teachers to apply what he has learned from students to teaching. B. provide students with more communication opportunities. C. create fewer opportunities for students and teachers to exp
55、erience learning joy. D. own more potential possibilities to get students motivated.55. The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers _. A. the advantages of online courses. B. the popularity of Internet learning. C. the revolution of Internet learning. D. the trouble with online education. DIn
56、 many American schools the holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s birthday is used as an opportunity to teach children about his life and legacy. But in too many of those same schools, Black childrens extraordinary talents are still being wasted today. Nearly three-quarters of Black fourth
57、and eighth grade public school students cannot read or compute at grade level. Black students made up only 18 percent of students in public schools in 2009-2010 but were 40 percent of students who received one or more out-of-school suspensions(暂被停学). A black public school student is suspended every
58、four seconds. Black students are more than twice as likely to drop out of school as White students. Each school day 763 Black high school students drop out.So I applaud the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice for their recent action to address harmful school discipline policies that push so ma
59、ny thousands of black children out of school each year and into the juvenile justice and adult prison pipeline. If the education system is to do its part in replacing it with a cradle to college, career and success pipeline, we must end the current practice where children in the greatest need are su
60、spended from school mostly for non-violent offenses.These resources, officially known as “ guidance”, will help schools and districts meet their legal responsibility to protect students from discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin as required under Title VI of the Civil Rights
61、Act of 1964. As we recognize the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and so many other important hard-won victories in the Civil Rights Movement this year, we must remember those victories could be lost without meaningful enforcement of the laws advocates fought so hard to win half a c
62、entury ago.While the guidance does not prohibit schools or districts from using any particular nondiscriminatory policy, it does call into question some policies that have historically excluded Black students and are of questionable educational value including “zero tolerance” discipline policies wh
63、ich require mandatory (强制的)consequences for certain infractions (违反), and policies that prevent students from returning to school after completion of a court sentence.Information of the new guidance recommendations is available at this government website for almost every school and district in the c
64、ountry. Check your own school district now to see whether the discipline policy is focused on creating a positive school climate and preventing misbehavior, whether consequences are clear, appropriate and consistent, and whether there is a commitment to fairness in the application of discipline.56.
65、What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. Life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. B. Unsatisfactory situation of Black students education C. The percentage of Black students dropping out of school. D. The holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s birthday.57. The guidance issue
66、d by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice may _. A. punish Black children for dropping out of school. B. push thousands of Black children out of school each year. C. protect Black children from being suspended for nonviolent offenses. D. prevent Black children from coming back to school aft
67、er a court sentence.58. According to the passage, the “ zero tolerance” discipline policies _. A. have questionable consequences. B. are prohibited by the guidance. C. prevent Black children from being absent from school. D. were considered discriminatory when they were released.59. What is the auth
