It was an experiment. The goal was to municate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language is not English. Experts said the goal was admirable, but the method would not work. They were proved wrong. The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And they still are.Forty years later, Special English continues to municate with people who are not fluent in English. But during the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American English. And it provides listeners, even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere.Today, Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week, five times a day. Each half-hour broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20 minutes of feature programming. There is a different short feature every weekday about science, development, agriculture and environment, and on the weekend, about news events and American idioms.Three elements make Special English unique. It has a limited vocabulary of 1500 words. Most are simple words that describe objects, actions or emotions. Some are more difficult. They are used for reporting world events and describing discoveries in medicine and science. Special English is written in short, simple sentences that contain only one idea. No idioms are used. And Special English is spoken at a slower pace, about two-thirds the speed of Standard English. This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. It also helps people who are English speakers understand plex subjects.Through the years, Special English has bee a very popular tool for teaching English, even though it was not designed as teaching program. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way. Individuals record the programs and play them over and over to practice their listening skills. In countries around the world, English teachers assign Special English to their students. They praise it for improving their students ability to understand American English and for the content of the programs. Universities and private panies in many countries produce packages of Special English materials for student use.24. At the beginning, Special English program was .A. doubted by some professionals B. rejected by native peopleC. well received D. intended for teaching English25. What kind of English is spoken on Special English?A. British English B. Not certainC. Both British and American English D. American English26. Which of the following are the elements that make Special English unique?a. limited vocabulary b. short simple sentencesc. good munication method d. slow speed e. interesting feature programmingA. a, c, d B. a, b, d C. b, d, e D. a, b, c27. From the last paragraph we can infer that .A. listening to Special English can be a students homeworkB. listening to Special English can improve the content of the programC. some student record the Special English material for saleD. learning English from VOA is a traditional way for English learnerCSuppose you bee a leader in an organization. Its very likely that youll want to have volunteers to help with the organizations activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Lets begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet those needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of munity service, some schools have launched pulsory volunteer programmes. Unfortunately, these programmes can shift peoples wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g. “I volunteer because its important to me”) to an external factor (e.g. “I volunteer because Im required to do so”) When that happens, people bee less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activity a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience.”Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be more likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers expectations, they found a positive correlation(正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people contributed to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice. “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identityItems like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity.”28. People volunteer mainly out of_. A. academic requirements B. social expectations C. financial rewards D. internal needs29. What can we learn from the Florida study? A. Follow-up studies should last for one year. B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared. C. Strategy training is a must in research. D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.30. What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work? A. Individual differences in role identity. B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts. C. Role identity as a volunteer. D. Practical advice from researchers.31. What is the best title of the passage? A. How to Get People to Volunteer B. How to Study Volunteer Behaviors C. How to Keep Volunteers Interest D. How to Organize Volunteers ActivitiesDWhat makes us human? Is it our thoughts? Our emotions? Our behavior?All of these things make us who we are, but at the center of it all lies the genome (基因组)the genes inside our bodies that determine everything from our hair color to our intelligence. But if we could change our genome, would we still be human?Recently, a group of scientists from the United States - and South Korea worked together to successfully “edit” a human embryo (胚胎) and remove a genetic mutation (变异) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian.This was achieved with the help of CRISPRa gene-editing tool that allows scientist to edit the genome by cutting, changing or adding to parts of it.Scientists involved in DNA editing are certain about the good of their work, and hope that in the future, diseases or birth defects could simply be “edited out”.However, others arent so sure. People are worried that the science could be used not only to remove life-threatening illness, but also to make a “perfect” baby whose DNA had been chosen to improve their intelligence or other qualities. It might make having a baby similar to choosing a new house or car. Critics (评论家) say that this is a shallow way of thinking about raising children.“It makes you think about who we are as people, and it makes you ask if humans should be using the kind of power. that is changing human evolution (进化),” Jennifer Doudna of the University of California, Berkeley told MIT Technology Review.Still, others worry that DNA editing could be turned into an expensive service that would only be available to the people who could afford it. That might mean the rich would be given another advantage in a world where they already have plenty of them.“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest upgrades for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News.32. Why are the questions asked in Paragraph 1?A. To attract the readers interest. B. To seek answers from the readers.C. To show those things arent important. D. To correct our understanding of human beings.33. Which of the following will Jennifer Doudna most probably agree with?A. Having a perfect baby is not so good for the family.B. Life-threatening illnesses should be removed before birth.C. DNA editing might cause unexpected problems to humans.D. DNA editing may enlarge the gap between the rich and the poor.34. What does the underlined word “them” most probably refer to?A. Advantages. B. Expensive services. C. Perfect children. D. Qualities. 35. What does the author think of DNA editing?A. Its good for human evolution. B. It will make humans look similar.C. Its influence is still quite uncertain. D. It can only be afforded by the rich.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。There is no doubt that the first day of school can be crazy for most of students.
