I have been away from it for over twenty years, but I still go back in my dreams.” For Yep, whose father came from China, home was an apartment and the family grocery store in a neighborhood of San Francisco. It was there that he learned about patience, hard work, and getting along with neighbors.Mr. Brown, Laurence Yeps high school English teacher, often set high goals for his students. He was the first person to encourage Yep to write. The experience of that class changed the direction of Yeps life. At the age of 18 Yep published his first short story, a sci-fi fantasy. He has since written many books and many kinds of books. He has retold Chinese folk stories and written for the theater. In nearly all these varied works, Yep, who is married to the childrens book author Joanne Ryder, has returned to questions he has been asking himself since childhood: What does it mean to be Chinese and American? Can one who belongs to two cultures ever feel at home anywhere?When asked, “How has being of a Chinese by origin been important to you?” Laurence Yep replied, “As a child I wanted to be as American as possible. Then, in my early twenties, I became very interested in my Chinese roots. For years after that, I thought that my function as a Chinese American writer was to act as a bridge between two cultures. Now, though, I am not so sure that it is possible to join them together. Compared with Asian culture, American culture pays more attention to individuals and competition. The two cultures pull in opposite directions. So I see myself now as someone who will always be on the border between two cultures. That works to my benefit as a writer because not quite fitting in helps me be a better observer.”25. According to Paragraph 1, Laurence Yep _.A. misses his first home very much B. goes back to China from time to timeC. moved to San Francisco at an early age D. once worked part-time at a grocery store26. We may infer from Paragraph 2 that Mr. Brown _.A. asked Laurence Yep to be a good observer B. taught Laurence Yep the value of patienceC. helped Laurence Yep finish his first book D. had high expectations of Laurence Yep27. The last paragraph is mainly about Laurence Yeps _.A. childhood memories B. varied writing stylesC. view of the two cultures D. relationship with his family28. Which of the following best describes Laurence Yeps attitude to life?A. Learn to accept your own differences. B. Put the needs of others ahead of your own.C. Work hard and you will receive many benefits. D. Challenge others as you would wish to be challenged.【答案】25.A26.D27.C28.A【解析】试题分析：文章主要介绍了美籍华裔儿童作家Laurence Yep。25.

They can actually be found in many places on the earth, but not in quantities that can be mined. Only a few countries China, America, India, Australia, Brazil and Malaysia have any that can be mined enough to be traded. Even though some of these elements such as Cerium are as abundant as Copper, they are not found in concentrated amounts on the earths surface. They are often mixed together with other metals, which makes extraction (提取) of these elements an expensive and an environmentally messy process. It was due to this reason that the term “rare earth” was invented.Rare earth metals are used widely in our life. Rechargeable car batteries, computers, iPhones, DVD players, computer monitors, televisions, lighting, lasers, glass polishing, and superconductors all use quantities of rare earth metals. Also, with the advancement in “green” technology like solar panels, these shiny materials are becoming more important than ever. An average electric car uses 10 pounds of Lanthanum for its rechargeable battery!America has large deposits (存储量) of rare earths and has one of the first mines. It was opened in Southern California in 1940. The element “Europium” was the first metal to be separated in quantity for use in color televisions. However, in the 1980s and 1990s, as China started producing these elements in Inner Mongolia, the mines in America and elsewhere could not keep pace. The mine in Mountain Pass, California also failed environmental regulations and shut down in 2002.Now, recognizing the importance of having more than one supplier of this important resource, other rare earth owning countries like India and Australia are either dusting off their rare earth mines or speeding up their production. It is believed that the debate over rare earths will become louder in the coming months and years. 29. What can we learn about rare earths?A. They are actually as abundant as Copper. B. They can be mined easily as other metals.C. They can only be found in a few countries. D. They are not really as rare as they are named.30. Compared with China, America _.A. paid more attention to Europium B. has larger deposits of rare earthsC. started producing rare earths earlier D. has more rare earth mines31. It can be inferred from the text that rare earths _.A. are now in great demand B. can now be used in few fieldsC. are harmful to the environment D. will soon be replaced by other metals【答案】29.D30.C31.A【解析】考点 ：说明文 DShould universities focus on training workers for the next decade or curing diseases for the next century? A group of governors, educators, and CEOs weighed in on the best way universities can prepare for the future. They debated how the U.S. can take the responsibility for research while still preparing students for real jobs. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said that the first thing she thinks about as governor is educating Oklahoma students and strengthening the workforce. So shes carrying out a program called “America Works: Education and Training for Tomorrows Jobs” that aims to “reorganize our education system with the current needs of our employers”.The state governor added that this new educational approach doesnt just benefit students and companies, but also improves the state economy. “Weve been able to attract new companies to our state because of what were doing with our universities, because our students are a pipeline for the workforce,” she said. “General Electric Company (one of the worlds biggest companies) is coming to Oklahoma.” Other group members were more focused on the long-term goals of a research university. Amy Gutmann pointed out that “basic research is the foundation for everything else that happens at a university. And if we dont do it, nobody else will.”“And if nobody does that research, well pay the price in health care bills,” argued Vagelos, who is a former CEO of Merck & Co., Inc, one of the largest pharmaceutical (制药的) companies in the world. “The jobs of universities are basic research, which is what is needed for attacks on disease,” he said. “There has been a reduction in coronary heart disease (冠心病) by 60% in the last forty years because of this research, and that reduces health care costs.” James Hunt, former North Carolina governor, argued for a happy medium. Effective communication, he said, would help the public see that the research conducted at universities actually serves a practical purpose. Eli Broad, founder of the Broad Foundations, agreed. “We have to show the public what research has achieved,” he said. “We have to show how it actually goes from basic research to something they can understand.” 32. Why does Oklahoma appeal to General Electric Company? A. University graduates in the state are well trained. B. Theres much support from the local government. C. Many students in the state hope to be workers.D. The state economy has been growing rapidly. 33. What is Gutmanns attitude toward Fallins program? A. Curious. B. Tolerant. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.34. Vagelos mentioned coronary heart disease in order to show _. A. the achievements of Merck & Co., Inc B. the difficulty of developing new drugs C. the heavy burden of health care costs D. the importance of basic research 35. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?A. Universities or colleges? B. Workers or researchers? C. Basic or further research? D. Education or development? 【答案】32.A33.C34.D35.B【解析】试题分析：文章主要针对大学主要应该负责培训劳动者，还是负责进行基础研究这一话题介绍了几位人物的不同看法。32.A考查细节理解题。由第三段中的Weve been able to attract new companies to our state . because our students are a pipeline for the workforce可知，俄克拉荷马州能够吸引通用公司是因为该州的大学生受到了良好的培训，故选A项。33.C考查推理判断题。由第二、三两段可知，Fallin认为大学应该主要负责培训劳动者。由第四段可知，Gutmann认为大学应该把重点放在基础研究方面。她们两人的意见是相反的，故选C项。34.D考查推理判断题。由倒数第三段中的The jobs of universities are basic research和There has been a reduction . because of this research可知，Vagelos提到冠心病的目的是为了说明在大学里进行基础研究的重要性，故选D项。35.B考查主旨大意题。本文针对大学主要应该负责培训劳动者，还是负责进行基础研究这一话题介绍了几位人物的不同看法，故选B项。考点 ：议论文第二节（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。Bananas Bananas belong to the most popular fruits in the world.

It gives you quick energy and can be digested easily.The harvest of bananasBananas are harvested while they are still green. These green bananas are taken to the nearest port, where they are put on container ships. When the bananas arrive at their destination, they are loaded onto trucks or railway cars and brought to sellers who store them in special ripening rooms. 39 Economic value of bananasBananas are the fourth most valuable food crop in the world, after wheat, rice and corn.
