　　  A school is being    3   in New Jersey, U.S.A. It is called Bancroft. Here the disabled will be trained to　　 4   themselves and to get along in the outside world.

　　  Bancroft is not surrounded by　　 5   of any kind. Its director insists that it be　　 6   so that students may gradually develop normal relations with the rest of the world. Bancroft students will    7   in apartment, cooking their own meals, and learning to perform other    8   .As they become    9   , they will buy their own furniture, paying for it out of their own earnings. They will pay for their food, too. They will learn to expect　　 10   bills for the calls they make every month.

　　   As a step toward the goal of becoming    11   , each disabled person will decide what kind of work he wants to be    12   to do. While some of the training will be carried on within Bancroft itself, most of the students will receive    13   training in nearby towns. They will be trained by town people.

　　  After the training has been    14    completed, the student will work as an assistant and will begin to earn money. After that he will leave Bancroft, 　　15   the school will continue to give him help if he    16    it.

　　  How long will it take a student to    17   his training under this new system? The director says. “For some a year will be    18   . For others it might take ten years.” For all, however, this method offers new　　 19   .Many will learn to be   20    and independent, supporting themselves in the world.

答案：B;D;B;D;D;B;A;B;C;A;D;C;B;A;B;A;C;B;A;C
提示：

1.         與前面的physical（身體上）相對(duì)比，mental指智力上的。

2.         從下文可知，應(yīng)用的是一種方法（method）而不是計(jì)劃（plans）,decisions（決定）或tools（工具），可從最后一段的最后一句得此答案。

3.         set up建立。

4.         閱讀下文，在這所學(xué)校里主要是幫助殘疾人如保去養(yǎng)活自己（support oneself）。諸如自己做飯、找工作掙錢等，而不是enjoy oneself(享受)，teach oneself(自學(xué))，help oneself(幫助等)

5.         后面提到學(xué)校應(yīng)該是開放型的，也就是沒有圍墻。

6.         一是此校沒有圍墻，二是此校更注重自己的學(xué)生和外界逐漸建立正常的關(guān)系，所以此校應(yīng)該是一個(gè)開放型（open）的學(xué)校。

7.         apartment公寓，應(yīng)該是住在。

8.         task任務(wù)

9.         從下語言可知，這些學(xué)生的能力在逐漸加強(qiáng)，able意為“有能力的”。

10.     后面提到call，說明應(yīng)該是電話賬單

11.     其中的一個(gè)步驟是使學(xué)生們變得獨(dú)立交橋（independent），而不是brave（勇敢），clever(聰明),learned(有學(xué)識(shí)的)。從文章最后一句可得此答案。

12.     從下句some of the training可知此處就是被訓(xùn)練（trained）。

13.     從下段學(xué)生將作為售貨員開始工作以謀取生，可知目前進(jìn)行的是工作方面的訓(xùn)練。

14.     當(dāng)然應(yīng)是訓(xùn)練得非常成功（successfully），才能開始工作。

15.     “學(xué)生們雖然將離開學(xué)校，但（but）此校還會(huì)一如既往地幫助他們�！眀ut表示轉(zhuǎn)折。

16.     如果需要學(xué)校就會(huì)幫助他

17.     complete完成訓(xùn)練

18.     從下句“一些人需要十年”，對(duì)比這句話，對(duì)于一些人，一年足夠了（enough）。

19.     這所學(xué)校給予了新的理念

20.     很多人從這種訓(xùn)練中學(xué)會(huì)如何對(duì)社會(huì)有用（useful）。

Can people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.

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 colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.

It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(變異) in the gene for melanosome 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 colour, said Cheng.

The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.

The passage mainly tells us that ________.

  A. people can not change their skin colour without any pain

  B. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin colour safely

  C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he liked

  D. scientists have found out that people’s skin colour is determined by the gene

It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

  A. nowadays people who want to change their skin colour 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

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 colour is determined by the pigment gene

  C. find out the reason why the Africans’ skin colour is dark

  D. find out the ways of changing peopl’s skin colour

The writer’s attitude towards the discovery is ________.

  A. neutral                      B. negative                   C. positive                    D. indifferent

閱讀理解
     That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home 
at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was 
still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at 
night at the same time. 
     As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become 
too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began 
running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still 
out except a few sad-looking homeless peopl e under blankets.
     About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to 
see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the 
noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and 
unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
     Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the 
noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
     Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to 
me. When a voice called from the inside , "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this 
man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look 
in his eyes. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.
     It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had got my 
wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad 
place as long as people were willing to help each other.
1.How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?
A. Cold and sick                    
B. Lucky and hopeful
C. Satisfied and cheerful              
D. Disappointed and helpless
2.From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy _____.
A. solving her problem at the bank      
B. getting used to the city life
C. learning acting in an evening school   
D. preparing for the first night show
3.On her way home the writer______.          
A. lost her wallet unknowingly
B. talked a lot with a garbage truck driver
C. was robbed of her wallet by a man with a knife  
D. found some homeless people following her
4.From the text, we can infer that the writer_____.
A. would stop working at night        
B. would stay on in San Francisco
C. would make friends with cleaners.   
D. would give up her job at the bank
