3、 University Half my lifetime ago，I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectations from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty，but failure.The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about

4、failure.You might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success. ●Steve Jobs，Stanford University Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick.Don't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life，and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do

7、、J.K.羅琳、史蒂夫·喬布斯和比爾·蓋茨。 1．What Michael Dell said is to urge us to ． A．listen to our heart B．learn from our mistakes C．follow others' example D．pursue our dreams D　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞“Michael Dell”定位至第二段，由第二段第一句“And now you've accomplished something great and important here，and it's time

8、 for you to move on to what's next”可知，邁克爾·戴爾認(rèn)為畢業(yè)之時是繼續(xù)前進(jìn)的時候；根據(jù)第二段第三、四句“You must also commit to the adventure.Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed with and go”可知，他還鼓勵人們勇于探索冒險(xiǎn)，鼓足信心，用自己的技能和知識繼續(xù)前進(jìn)；據(jù)此可以判斷，邁克爾·戴爾鼓勵人們追求自己的夢想，故D項(xiàng)正確。] 2．What did J．K.Rowling fear most when she w

9、as studying in university? A．Failure. 　　　　 B．Hunger. C．Poverty. D．Parents' expectations. A　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題干關(guān)鍵詞“J.K. Rowling”定位至第三段，根據(jù)第三段第二句“But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty，but failure”可知，J.K.羅琳在大學(xué)時最害怕的不是貧窮，而是失?。还蔄項(xiàng)正確。] 3．What does Bill Gates suggest people do? A．Mast

10、er as much advanced technology as possible. B．Work together to solve some global problems. C．Make contributions to the environment. D．Take responsibility for their own behavior. B　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題干關(guān)鍵詞“Bill Gates”定位至第五段，根據(jù)第五段內(nèi)容可知，比爾·蓋茨鼓勵人們協(xié)同工作，一起解決全球的饑餓、貧窮等不公平問題，故B項(xiàng)正確。] B (2019·昆明質(zhì)量檢測)Bats are the onl

11、y mammals(哺乳動物) that can fly a long distance，but they have another ability.Many bats live a very long time for an animal of their size.European researchers are studying bats to understand why they live so long.They hope to make discoveries aimed at fighting the aging process in human beings. Last w

12、eek，the group of scientists said they had discovered important biological qualities in some bat species.The group studied bat chromosomes(染色體)．The scientists were most interested in structures connected to the ends of the chromosomes.They are called telomeres(端粒)，which shorten each time a cell divid

13、es.The scientists believe this shortening process causes cells to break down.They say this is what causes aging. The European researchers studied 493 bats from four bat species.The group used information that had been gathered over more than 60 years.Of these animals，the greater mouse-eared bat gen

14、erally lived an average of 37 years.The scientists said it had telomeres that did not shorten with age.Another Myotis hold the record for oldest age，reaching 41 years.The scientists' findings suggest that these bats' cells have the ability to keep and repair their telomeres.This，they said，helps guar

15、d against the aging process. Based on its body size，a bat like the greater mouse-eared bat would be expected to live four years.But，these mammals have been found to live nearly 10 times longer than that.The scientists found that only 19 species of mammals live longer than humans when their body siz

16、e is considered.18 of these are bats.The only exception is an unusual African rat. 【語篇解讀】　該文是一篇研究性實(shí)驗(yàn)報(bào)告。歐洲研究人員通過研究蝙蝠來了解它們長壽的原因。 4．What decides bats' aging process according to the text? A．The length of telomeres. B．The body size of the bat. C．The types of chromosomes. D．The building of cells.

17、A　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“The scientists were most interested in structures connected to the ends of the chromosomes.They are called telomeres(端粒)，which shorten each time a cell divides.The scientists believe this shortening process causes cells to break down.They say this is what causes aging”可知，科學(xué)家們對連接到染色體

18、末端的結(jié)構(gòu)最感興趣。它們被稱為端粒，每次細(xì)胞分裂時它會縮短?？茖W(xué)家們相信這個縮短的過程會導(dǎo)致細(xì)胞分裂。他們說這是導(dǎo)致變老的原因，由此可知，端粒的長度決定了蝙蝠變老的過程。故選A。] 5．How long does a greater mouse-eared bat generally live? A．19 years. 　　　　 B．37 years. C．41 years. D．60 years. B　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Of these animals，the greater mouse-eared bat generally lived an average of

20、umans live long A　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“The European researchers studied 493 bats from four bat species.The group used information that had been gathered over more than 60 years”可知，歐洲的研究人員研究了四種蝙蝠中的493只蝙蝠。該組研究人員使用了超過60年間收集的信息。故可推斷出選項(xiàng)A的表述“the scientists have studied bats for more than six decades(科學(xué)家們對蝙蝠進(jìn)行了

21、60多年的研究)”是正確的。] 7．In which column of a magazine can you read the text? A．Lifestyle. B．Business. C．Science. D．Fashion. C　[推理判斷題。本文是對蝙蝠長壽原因的探究并且研究人員都是科學(xué)家，所以應(yīng)該是在雜志中科研方面的專欄，所以選項(xiàng)C是正確的。] Ⅱ.完形填空 (2019·成都診斷)I asked my grandpa what it feels like to grow old.He took a sip of tea and 1 ，“Have you
