16、guin at the California Academy of Sciences. Due to his old age, he was going bald, which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool. Therefore, biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool. Unlike marine mammals, which have a layer of fat

17、 to keep them warm, penguins depend on their waterproof feathers. Without them, Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water. He was cold; he would shake, said Pam Schaller, a senior biologist. Schaller firs

18、t tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm. Then she got another idea: if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific, why not make one for Pierre Schaller designed the suit, which covered Pierres body and had small openings for his flippers. “I would walk behind him and look at where there were any

19、gaps, and cut and refit and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable,” she said. One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit, but in fact, they accepted his new look. He swam freely and got along with others well, although he was the only penguin w

But he had no idea at the

24、 time that 12 - year old Ray had the ability to become his partner in cancer research. Rays parents remembered that at age four, Ray surprised them by fixing a broken vacuum cleaner（吸尘器） . When he was ten, he speedily constructed the family color television from a kit. Later, he succeeded in assembl

25、ing（组装） a complex stereo system after two experts had failed to do the job. When Ray was ten, he convinced his parents to buy him a computer. In a short time, Ray was able to do amazing things with the computer. Ray shared his enthusiasm for computers with Dr. Tisman, who used a computer for his res

26、earch. The two discussed computers and medicine frequently. Amazingly, Ray understood the biology and chemistry related to Dr. Tismans medical research without any previous instruction. Ray then worked with Dr. Tisman after school. He helped conduct research with the equipment and kept it in working

27、 order. The purpose of the research was to test the effectiveness of mixing an old cancer drug with certain vitamins. Ray analyzed patient test results by computer, while Dr. Tisman handled all patient contact. Together, they came up with solid research that helped advance cancer treatment. In 1988,

28、 14 - year - old Ray went with Dr. Tisman to a meeting of the American Federation for Clinical Research（ AFCR） , where Ray presented their initial research findings. Using terminology（术语） beyond the grasp of most kids his age, Ray told the scientists how the new drug mixture caused fewer and milder

29、side effects for cancer patients. A year later, Ray returned to the meeting to update the findings of his and Dr. Tismans research. By then, he had become well - known for his devotion to finding cures for sick patients. Stories about him appeared in hundred of newspapers around the world. He appear

30、ed on television newscasts and talk shows. Ray continued to spend most free hours working with Dr. Tisman. The two began studying the effects of vitamins on babies inside the womb（子宫） .

34、 your career You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know th

35、e subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any especially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs b

36、ut if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and

37、 look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give co

38、rrect change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or ca

39、nnot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(认错的 ) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance o

40、f a fresh start at work. 【小题 1】 What is the passage mainly about A The importance of working hard at school. B Choosing a career according to ones strengths. C How to face ones weakness. D The value of school work. 【小题 2】 The writer thinks that a student have a part-time job is probably _. A a good

41、way to find out his weak points B one of the best ways of earning extra money C of great use for his work in the future D a waste of time he could have spent on study 【小题 3】 From the passage we learn that if a students school performance is not good, he _.

42、lls and developing abilities B will be regretful about his bad results C may also do well in his future work D should restart his study in school 【小题 4】 The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in Para 3) probably means “_”. A be clumsy at doing things B be skillful in doing things C be not interested

43、 in certain things D be easily bored in doing things 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 A For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the peop

44、le gather together to socialize and exchange news. As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probabl

45、y the oldest pub in England. However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pubs landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink

46、 available at an affordable price. Thats how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩 ) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all

47、pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs. This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 1l pm. Previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they som

48、etimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities. In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Mens Clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can
