After leaving the

11、 cashier, he estimated (估計(jì)) that he had saved 80 cents and thought that he had got good value for his money again.At the exit, the chilly wind reminded him of his gloves. “Now where are they?” He searched here and there, but nowhere could he find them. He was sure he was wearing them when he entered

12、 the store. The worried man made a second search in all his pockets, again including the grocery bag. He was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.George bought the gloves at a 25% discount, for just $30, ten years ago. They were genuine lambskin (小羊皮), soft, warm and durable.

13、Until then, he had worn cheaper man-made material that lasted no more than three years. His impulsive decision to buy the expensive gloves turned out to be a good one, which even promoted his social status on the bus, as passengers stared at him enviously for six months out of the year. He enjoyed b

14、eing envied.Bad luck, George thought, to lose his expensive gloves on New Years Eve. He reentered the store and followed the same route he had walked before. But several minutes of anxious search turned out to be in vain. “Society has changed. People have changed ” he murmured to himself. “Years ago

15、, if people picked up something lost, they would give it back.”Back home, George was at a loss. In deep winter, he could not do anything without a pair of gloves. If he bought cheap ones, he would have to replace them very soon. If he bought new leather ones, they would cost forty dollars.After the

16、holiday, poor George decided to buy another pair of leather gloves. Before boarding the subway, he stepped into Value Mart again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office.“What color are they?” the woman in the office asked.“Black,” he answered.She looked into

17、 her drawer and drew out a pair of mens leather gloves.“Are they?”“Yes! Those are mine!”1、Which of the following is the most probable reason for Georges shopping?ATo kill time in Value Mart as usual.BTo prepare for the coming New Year.CTo prove how wise he was with money.DTo see whether there were g

27、ssible and affordable in less than five years, promising a revolution in healthcare, says Jay Flatley, the chief executive of Illumina. Only social and legal problems are likely to delay the age of “genome sequences,” or genetic profiles. By 2019 it will have become routine to map infants genes when

28、 they are born, Dr Flatly told The Times.This will open a new approach to medicine, by which conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease can be predicted and prevented and drugs used more safely and effectively.A babys genome can be discovered at birth by a blood test. By examining a pe

Those at high risk can then he screened more regularly, or given drugs or dietary advice to lower their chances of becoming ill. Personal genomes could also he used to ensure that patients get the medicine

30、that is most likely to work for them and least likely to have side effects.The development, however, will raise legal concerns about privacy and access to individuals genetic records.“Bad things can be done with the genome. It could predict something about someone and you could possibly hand the inf

Complete genetic privacy, however, is unlikely to be possible

32、”, he added.As the benefits become clearer, however, he believes that most people will want their genomes read and interpreted. The risk is nothing compared with the gain.1、In the first two paragraphs, the author mainly wants to tell us about_.Athe significant progress in medicine Bthe promise of a

They made the arrangements for the car, hotel and bicycles. I studied the history of the island, which of course particula

36、rly features Napoleon.Napoleon (now I know) picked Elba as a place for peace when he was forced to give up the throne (王權(quán)) as Emperor of France in 1814. Far from being a prison island, Elba is beautiful with towering mountains, thick forests and sweeping bays and beaches.It is also an island filled

37、with treasure. Very early on this island, locals discovered rich deposits of iron. Soon outsiders, too, discovered the iron and 150 other valuable minerals on this little piece of land. Long before Etruscans and other Greeks set foot on it, Dorians had moved in by the tenth century BCand were mining

38、 the island. The Romans ruled next, obtaining the minerals and building grand houses overlooking the sea. From the twelfth century until the nineteenth, the island was traded back and forth and was passed to France in 1802. Then came Napoleon, the new ruler of Elba.I was eager to visit his house in

39、Portoferraio. The Emperor lived with his court and his mother, but his wife, Marie Louise had ensconced herself in the splendid Viennese palace of her father, Emperor of Austria. She lived safely there and showed little interest in visiting her husband in his mini-kingdom. Apparently, Napoleon wasnt

40、 troubled much by this. He was too busy riding everywhere on horseback, building roads, modernizing agriculture and, above all, sharpening his tiny army and navy into readiness for his escape.In the formal gardens behind the house it seemed to me that I could imagine the exiled (流放的) conquerors anxi

Napoleon spent only ten months here before making his victorious return to France and the throne.1、What did the author do for the visit

42、 to Elba?AHe did research on its past.BHe arranged transportation.CHe planned bicycling routes.DHe booked accommodation.2、Who might be the earliest outsiders to Elba according to the text?ANapoleon and his army.BEtruscans and other Greeks.CDorians.DRomans.3、What does the underlined word “ensconced”

44、e a photo of yourselves, do you know that you are also creating a work of art? Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself? Probably not. Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍照) on WeChat or QQ, but you probably dont think of the Internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist.

45、But the chief executive of Londons Saatchi Gallery, Nigel Hurst, thinks that the casual pictures we take of ourselves have something in common with self-portraits by the great masters. In support of the idea, the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self-Expression.It features

46、well-known self-portraits from artists including Dutch painters Van Gogh (1853-1890) and Rembrandt (16061669). It also has selfies on show that have “quickly become icons of the digital era.” These include one taken by US celebrity(名人) Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama w

47、ith former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, according to the BBCThe gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show.Hurst is perhaps not being 100 percent serious. He isnt claiming that a snap you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a self-imag

48、e painted by Van Gogh. But he does make a serious point. Once upon a time, it was only artists who could make images of themselves. They were the only ones, as Hurst told The Guardian, who “had the skills, materials and tools to create self-portraits.” Today, however, we “all have that ability throu

49、gh our smartphones.”The popularity of the selfie rocketed after smartphones started to become widely used. In 2013, Oxford Dictionaries named “selfie” as its word of the year. As Pamela Rutledge, a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, told Vogue magazine: “the cult (熱潮)o

52、least expected it. Alvin Irby was at a 1 when he saw one of his former students sitting in the shop with a 2 look on his face. Thats when Irby realized that by 3 barbershops with books, he might be able to 4 young black boys to read.Irby, a former kindergarten and first grade 5 , knows how important

53、 it is for young children to read. He also knows that young black boys 6 often dont have adult male role models who inspire them to read.Thats where the barbershops come in.Irby 7 Barbershop Books as a way to not just get books into the 8 of young black boys, but also create community reading spaces

54、 in a place where kids go 9 . Since its launch in 2013, the program has created kid-friendly reading spaces in 50 barbershops in 12 states 10 the United States.“Our belief is that if we can create positive reading 11 early and often for young black boys, then they will choose to read for 12 . Becaus

55、e they will 13 themselves as readers.” Irby noted, adding, “This is really 14 barbershop Books is about, getting young black boys to say three words: Im a 15 .”Irbys idea is 16 . And it will continue to 17 thanks in part to the National Book Foundation Barbershop Books recently won the organizations
