25、   He Jiang, a postgraduate(研究生) in biology, will become the first Chinese student to give a speech in the commencement(毕业典礼) at Harvard University on May 26.

Given the highest honor by the university, He Jiang, who was born in a small village in Hunan Province, said, "People in China often believe that it's useless to study and children from the countryside cannot be successful in the future. However, I cannot agree with them. Education can change a person's life. I hope my experience can encourage the students from the countryside to spare no effort in study and make their dreams come true."

Different from many other families in the village, his parents never thought about finding a job in big cities and leaving their two sons at home without their care. His father was strict about their studies. He and his younger brother studied at home while the other kids in the village played in the fields. Unlike his strict father, his mother took her sons' side when her husband scolded the boys. She preferred to sit with her sons when they studied rather than chat with other women in the village.

Getting the chance to speak at the commencement is no accident. During his first days in Harvard, it was quite difficult for him to follow the professors in class and he was speechless in campus because of his poor English. Instead of giving up, He Jiang spent all his free time on English. He also made friends with natives to improve his spoken English. One year later, he had little difficulty in class and soon became one of the top students in his class. With the encouragement from Professor Diana Eck, He Jiang decided to apply(申请) for the chance to speak at the commencement." Few Chinese students had applied before, but I wanted to have a try. I just want to realize my idea of letting more people hear the voice from China and telling them that China is not what it used to be." said He Jiang. After beating three students from Harvard Kennedy School in the third and final round, He Jiang made it to get the chance to speak at the commencement.

He Jiang will go to Massachusetts Institute of Technology after graduating from Harvard.

【1】Where will He Jiang give the speech?

A.Harvard University. B.Hunan Province.

C.Harvard Kennedy School. D.Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

【2】The underlined part "spare no effort in study" means "______".

A.get ready for study B.try their best in study C.enjoy themselves in study D.be interested in study

【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.He Jiang is the only child in the family.

B.Both of He Jiang's parents were very strict with him.

C.He Jiang's parents never tried to find a job in a big city.

26、Housework is an endless argument between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women are warned not to expect men to share housework any time soon.

A study from University of Oxford has found it seems impossible for men to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers will continue to shoulder the burden(负担) of childcare and housework for the next thirty years, mainly because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still thought of to be “women’s work”.

The gap(鸿沟) has narrowed slowly over the past 30 years. Women expect true equality(平等). But what makes them down is that it will take another thirty years before it is achieved.

The research found that in the northern Europe, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, a woman spends around four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for a man. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically(典型地) spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day.

But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr. Oriel Sullivan, a research reader, said, “We’ve looked at what is influencing the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as ‘men’s work’, or ‘women’s work’.”

Dr. Sullivan said cultural attitudes(态度) taught at school may decide the views of housework. “At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult for a boy to enjoy cooking and dancing,” she said.

【1】Women will continue to do more housework before 2050 mainly because ________.

A．men are too busy to help

B．they would like to do so

C．they can do better

D．housework is considered as women’s work

【2】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”.

A．the research

B．true housework

C．true equality

D．the gap

【3】From Paragraph 4 we know that in the UK ________.

A．men now spend just 90 minutes a day on housework on average

B．women now are too busy with their work to do housework

C．women now spend less time on housework than before

D．housework is shared equally between men and women

【4】________ is mentioned in the last two paragraphs of the article.

A．What men think of housework

B．How much time women spend on housework

C．What influences people’s views of housework

D．Why men should share housework

【5】What is the main idea of this passage?

A．The argument about housework between husbands and wives will end.

B．Women will be doing more housework than men until 2050.

C．Men are unable to help their wives with housework.

D．Women spend less time on housework while men spend more than before.

27、

French and American doctors have done an operation (手术) together in which the doctors were outside the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.

Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.

A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine.

The robot moved the tools that cut the woman’s gallbladder (胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.

Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications (通讯系统) between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tool quickly.

Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make such smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor’s hand cannot.

Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where the doctors work.

【1】The underlined phrase “ robotic operation” means ________.

A.a special kind of robot invented by doctors.

B.something done to mend a robot.

C.an operation done by French and American doctors.

D.an operation done far away with the help of a robot.

【2】We use the robot in the operation because _________.

A.it can send messages in a high speed.

B.even a top doctor can’t do the operation himself.

C.it can make the operation safer and better.

D.operations can be done without doctors.

【3】Which of the following is NOT right?

A.Robotic operation has been used in the USA.

B.Robotic operation is good for doctor training.

C.Experts speak highly of robotic operation.

D.The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.

【4】What’s the best title for this passage?

A.An Operation B.Robotic Operation

C.How to do a Robotic Operation D.The problems of a Robotic Operation

28、   English and Chinese are totally different language. However, some proverbs (谚语) in English seem to have a “twin” in Chinese. Here are three of them.

Double-edged sword (双刃剑). / Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

The Chinese proverb was 【1】(one) used by Confucius. He reminded a ruler that his power was 【2】 (base) on people who supported him. If the people were dissatisfied, they could easily fight 【3】 the ruler. Similarly, double-edged sword reminds us that what brings us power can bring us harm, too.

These days, both expressions are used to point out how our tools can 【4】 help or harm us. It all depends on how we use these tools.

Think before you act. / Think three times, and act after.

Both cultures are 【5】 /waɪz/ enough to include this proverb. It is a good phrase to use when any friend is going to make a big 【6】(decide).

Stands head and shoulders above the rest. / A crane standing among a group of chickens.

A crane is a large 【7】/bɜː(r)d/ with long legs and a long neck. Just imagine such an animal 【8】(stand) among many chickens. The crane will naturally stand out, won’t it?

So these two expressions now 【9】/rɪˈfɜː(r)/ to someone who stands out from the rest. You may use them to describe 【10】 talented artist, an excellent job candidate, and so on.

29、   What animal is human’s best friend? The dog! Dogs have been with us for 10,000 years. There are over 200 different kinds of dogs. Over the __________, they have done many things for us.

Dogs are the __________ friends for families. They are among the most __________ pets in the world. They usually stay loyal (忠于) to kind owners. They have been given the name “people’s best friends”.

Gong Yiming is a 14-year-old boy __________ Shandong. He has three dogs and he loves them very much. “They __________ me a happy and confident person.” said Gong.

Sometimes, people also train dogs __________ cool jobs. Some dogs work for police to find bad people. Some serve as the “eyes” of __________ people, leading their way. Some work as “doctors” to stay with sick people and comfort them.
