28、can- American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood. When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1917, she was turned down because she was black. Unable to attend music school, sh

29、e began her career as a singer for church gatherings. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe. Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at the Town Hall in New York

30、 City. Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., the daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color. She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75,000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first

31、black soloist(独唱者) to sing with the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as "heard only once in a hundred years". She was a US delegate(代表) to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977. Anderson eventually triumphed(获得胜利)

32、 over racism. 41. According to this passage, what did Marian do between 1917 and 1929? A. She studied at a music school. B. She sang for religious activities. C. She sang at Town Hall in New York. D. She studied voice in Europe. 42. Toscanini thought that Marian Anderson _ . A. had a very rare voice

33、 B. sang occasionally in public C. sang only once in many years D. was seldom heard by people 43. Anderson's beautiful voice was first recognized _ . A. at the Lincoln Memorial B. in Washington DC C. in Europe D. at the United Nations 44. This passage shows that Anderson finally defeated racism

34、in the US by _ . A. protesting to the government B. appealing to the United Nations C. demonstrating in the streets D. working hard to perfect her art BThe Memory KeepersFor some kids, old photos and baby pictures are embarrassing. For others, they are cherished keepsakes. But for thousands of child

35、ren living in orphanages(孤儿院) worldwide, these records of the past simply dont exist. Either the kids parents werent around to snap photos, or the pictures have been lost. Whatever the reason, the Memory Project is giving orphans a lasting document of their youth. Over the last two years, the Memory

36、 Project has provided hand-painted portraits to more than 4,000 children living in orphanages in poor countries. Ben Schumaker, 24, got the idea when he was visiting an orphanage in Guatemala, in Central America. But hes not creating the portraits alone. Students in hundreds of high school art class

37、es across the U.S. paint them using photos sent from the orphanages. Schumaker believes that the artists benefit from the project as much as the orphans do. “There are two purposes of the Memory Project,” he told TFK. “One is to offer a special gift to the child abroad. The other is to help open the

38、 eyes of the student who is painting.” Staring into the eyes of another person, Schumaker believes, creates a real connection. This connection raises awareness in U.S. schools about the needs of the worlds poor children. “Its about planting a seed,” he says. Schumaker is also working on Books of Hop

39、e, a project in which students of all ages put together homemade books for children in Uganda and India. He hopes that one day children in Uganda and India will send books to the U.S. “Its important to me to have it be a two-way exchange,” Schumaker says. 45. Old photos and baby pictures are clearly

40、 unavailable to_. A. the kids in rich families B. the kids in common families C. the kids in expanded families D. the kids without parents 46. How can the orphans in Guatemala get a continuing record of their youth? A. By hand-painted portraits that Ben Schumaker painted. B. By the photos the orphan

41、age taken for them. C. By the photos taken by the US students in high schools. D. By the Memory Project started by Ben Schumaker. 47. Which statement is true according to the passage? A. Memory Project has provided hand-painted portraits to more than 4,000 children in rich countries. B. Students in

42、hundreds of high school art classes across the U.S. started the Memory Project. C. The hand-painted portraits were painted according to the photos from the orphanages. D. The hand-painted portraits were painted according to the TV news from orphanages in Guatemala. 48. What does the third paragraph

43、mainly tell us? A. The special gifts that the worlds poor children received. B. The benefits that the Memory Project brings. C. The need of the US schools. D. How to help the orphans. 49. According to the passage, Schumaker helps the kids in_. A. two countries B. three countries C. four countries D.

44、 five countries CEverybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite angry. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief th

45、at other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female b

46、rown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males. Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Bro

47、snans study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens(奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what

48、 the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different. In the world of monkeys, grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumbe

49、r. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about diss

50、atisfaction in a female monkey. The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treate

51、d, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 mi

52、llion years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question. 50 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world. B Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated. C In the wild, monkeys are never

53、unhappy to share their food with each other. D Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes, for grapes are more attractive. 51 The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that_. A monkeys are also angry with lazy fellows B feeling bitter at unfairness is also monkeys nature C monkeys, like h

54、umans, tend to be envious of each other D no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings 52 Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage? A Human beings feelings of anger are developed from the monkeys. B In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food

55、with others. C Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated. D Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness which dates back to 35 million years ago. 53 What can we infer about the monkeys in Sarahs study? A The monkeys can be trained to develop social senses

56、. B They usually show their feelings openly as humans do. C The monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatment. D Co-operation among the monkeys remains effective in the wild. DA 17-year-old boy from the northeastern state of Massachusetts has won the top prize in the Intel Science Talent

57、Search. The competition is the oldest program in the United States that honors the science projects of high school students. The Intel Science Talent Search is 63 years old this year.

60、r, more effective method to tell if a person has cancer. He explored a way to separate telomerase, an enzyme(酶) found in most cancer cells. His findings have helped advance research into ways of stopping cancer cells from growing. Herbert said he started the project after watching his grandmother st
