It wasn't easy for Zoë‟s hard-working single mother to make ends meet. They moved in and out of homeless shelters.Everything changed for Zoëin grade nine. At that time, she heard about a sewing class at her school. She signed up and couldn't wait to turn her designs into clothes. The color of her first dress she made was white-black strips. Soon the clothes she wore were all made by her. Other girls at school loved her designs too. They asked her if they could buy dresses from her. Zoë sold her first dress for $13.Unfortunately, it cost her $25 to make the dress. “I had the creativity in designs," says Zoë. “But I really had no idea about business."Zoë kept selling the clothes she designed. Her business was booming, and even the girls who had ever teased her became her customers. In the eleventh grade, Zoë took a business class. She learned how to price her clothes so that she could be sure to make a fair profit.Her business teacher suggested she take part in a contest for teenaged entrepreneurs (企业家)The contest was for teens from all over the United States. Zoësent in her business plan, which explained how she planned to make her company grow. She won the second prize in the end. Zoë‟s success became a news item. Supermodel Tyra Banks heard about it and she invited Zoë to take part in her TV show. “Being recognized I felt r eally unreal,”says Zoë. Zoë has advice for teens who want to start their own business. “If you really work hard on it, you will be able to make it happen," she says. “If I can do it, anyone can.”24.We can learn that ________ when she was in grade nine.A.Zoë had no interest in designing clothes B.Zoë seldom wore her self-made clothesC.Zoë didn‟t know how to make money D.Zoë attended a business course25.After winning the contest, Zoë ______.A. considered it a reward B.expected to be knownC.was proud of her own gift D.could hardly believe it26.Zoë advised the teens ______ .A.to make efforts to achieve their dreams B.to design and make their own clothesC.to try every means to become famous D.to do whatever they would like to 27.What is the main idea of the passage?A.How Zoë learned to design clothes.B.A poor girl achieved success in business.C.How Zoë got a prize in a contest.D.A poor girl was invited to a TV show.C“You‟ll catch cold“, my grandmother used to warn me, if I dared leave the house on a winter‟s day without drying my hair. For centuries there has been an idea that you‟ll develop a cold if exposed to low temperatures, particularly if you get wet as well.But, as any doctor will tell you, the common cold is caused by a virus. So if I have just washed myhair, but I really need to go out urgently, should I worry about the warning?Ron Eccles, director of the Common Cold Centre, did some experiments. Half the volunteers sat with their feet in cold water for twenty minutes, while the other half kept their socks and shoes on, but sat with their feet in an empty bowl for the same length of time. There was no difference in the cold symptoms reported between the two groups in the first few days, but four to five days later, twice as many people in the cold-water group said they had developed a cold.One theory is that when your body gets chilled (冷),the blood vessels in the nose and throat constrict (收缩).These same vessels deliver infection - fighting white blood cells, so if fewer white blood cells reach the nose and throat, your defenses against a cold virus are lowered for a short time.the white blood cells continue to fight the virus. But by then it could be too late and the virus might have had enough time to reproduce and set off the symptoms.So the chilling hasn‟t given us the cold, but might have activated a virus already present. This is still controversial, and Eccles' study only demonstrated that more chilled people said they had cold symptoms. No medical tests were done to confirm that they were definitely infected with the virus.28.By referring to her grandmother' s warning, the writer wants to ________.A. introduce the topic of the passageB. tell about her experience in childhoodC. show her grandmother‟s love for herD. prove her grandmot her‟s wisdom 29.Research done by Ron Eccles seems to indicate that getting cold and damp ______ .A. can directly lead to cold symptomsB. can increase the number of white blood cellsC. may activate the existing cold virusD. can prevent white blood cells fighting virus30.What does the underlined word “dilate” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?A. Block.B. Enlarge.C.Freeze. D. Melt.31.As for the relation between low temperature and cold symptoms, we can conclude that_______.A. chilling can always cause cold symptomsB. cold symptoms are caused by virusC. the chilled people were infected by virusD. further scientific study is still neededDScientists have long had it in their mind to make a robot lizard (蜥蜴). They began with finding out why a lizard can hang on a wall. They noticed the lizard‟s toes were unique: They have suckers (吸盘), which enable it to hang on walls. They, therefore, made a robot with suckers on its hands and feet.The robot could hang on the wall but fell off when crawling. So, they went on researching. 6 years ago, scientists discovered that suckers only were not enough. It is the bristles (刚毛) on each foot that adds friction (摩擦) and static adsorption (静电吸附力) that makes a lizard move on the smooth walleasily without falling down.Then scientists made great efforts to fix thick bristles to the robot‟s hands and feet. However, the effect was not satisfactory. The robot still couldn‟t attach itself firmly to the wall.Scientists got puzzled: How on earth can the lizard crawl on an extremely smooth wall or even on a ceiling without dropping off?An accidental finding inspired them: One day a scientist happened to see an animal attack a lizard and bite off its tail. The lizard broke away from the an imal‟s teeth and threw itself on a wall to escape, only to fall off heavily on the ground. The scientist wondered: Is it the tail that plays an important role in its traveling on the wall? He caught some lizards for an experiment. The result proved his ass umption: A tailless lizard has no trouble walking on an ordinary wall but can‟t on a smooth one. A further study showed the lizard‟s tail can prevent it falling over backward and, what‟s more, that the tail acts as an additional leg while one of the lizard‟s legs leaves the wall, which is always the case while it is walking on the wall.Thus, Talbot, a super tailed robot, is born.32. What part(s) would be a must if scientists just wanted a robot which can hang on the wall?A. Suckers.B. Suckers and bristles.C. Suckers, bristles and a tail.D. Hands, feet, bristles and a tail.33. The bristles function as something ________.A. to protect the lizard‟s toes from injuryB. to produce friction and static adsorptionC. to prevent a lizard falling over backwardD. to help a lizard move about without falling34. The biggest importance of a lizard‟s tail lies in ________.A. helping support the bodyB. serving as another legC. sticking to the wallD. stopping slipping35. What does the underlined part in the fifth paragraph refer to?A. A lizard often falls over backward while it travels on the wall.B. A lizard often has three legs on the wall while walking on the wall.C. A lizard‟s tail will replace one of its legs while it moves on the wall.D. A lizard‟s tail often stops it fall over backward while moving on the wall第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
