Raising money to purchase technological equipment.D. Managing the widely differing levels of literacy among pupils.66. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Modern munication has pletely replaced writing letters.B. New media has the potential to promote students’ literacy.C. New technologies are inadequate for us to know about children’s world.D. Current newspapers use more plicated sentence patterns than before.Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. People all over the world are sparing no effort to lengthen their lifespan.B. So he decided to take a test to assess the length of his telomeres.C. We now know that telomere length is highly heritable.D. They have repeating units of DNA at their ends that stop them from separating.E. If this shortening happens slowly, it suggests that your body is wearing well.F. The links between telomere length and lifestyle choices aren’t as straightforward as we thought.When David Nurse turned 30, he wanted to find out how his biological age pared with his real one. He hoped that the ultrahealthy lifestyle he advocates to players had kept his own body young and healthy, too. 67 It is reported that his biological age seems to be 28 years. Two years later, he took another test. “I was down to 25, so that was great,” he said.If you google “telomeres”, you are likely to find them described as an ageing clock. They are parts of DNA at the ends of each chromosome(染色體)that bee shorter every time a cell divides. 68 If you are a 60yearold with telomeres as long as those of an average 50yearold, your risk of death is equal to that of someone 10 years younger or so. So many people want this information, and many panies offer tests like the one Nurse took, together with various pills claimed to lengthen your telomeres and, in turn, your lifespan.If only it were that simple. We’ve discovered that telomeres are an unreliable ageing clock, which raises questions about the effectiveness of ageing tests based on them. 69 In fact, long telomeres can even be bad news. Nevertheless, there are some surprising ways we can look after our telomeres. In1982, Elizabeth Blackburn at the UC, Berkeley, and Jack Szostak at Harvard Medical School worked out the puzzle of how chromosomes remain unchanged when cells divide. 70 The pair called these “telomeres”. Later, they discovered each time a cell divides, its telomeres bee shorter, like the ticking of a biological clock. These discoveries won Blackburn and Szostaka the Nobel prize in 2009. Hype soon followed and researchers began piling into the field. However, as we find out more about telomeres, the mythology that has built up around them is starting to break. 第II卷 (共40分)IV. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Students in the United States are assigned to classes for different goals. Those in the more advantaged tracks and programs not only encounter more curricular material。 they are also typically asked to learn the material differently. They have opportunities to think, investigate, and create. They are challenged to explore. In Keeping Track, Jeannie Oakes describes the way in which teachers differently frame their work for students in different tracks.Teachers of hightrack classes describe their class goals in terms of higherorder thinking and independent learning, for example: “Logical thought process”。 “Scientific reasoning and logic”. Students’ view of what they learned in class reflect these goals. Hightrack students said they learned: “To understand concepts and ideas and to experiment with them, and to work independently”。 “How to express myself through writing and pose my thoughts in a logical manner and express my creativity.”Conversely, in lowtrack classes, teachers described few academic goals for their students and none related to thinking logically, critically or independently. They often focused on lowlevel skills, for example: “Better use of time”。 “Punctuality and selfdiscipline”。 “Good work habits”. And lowtrack students said they had learned how to: “Behave in class”。 “How to shut up”。 “How to listen and follow the directions of the teacher.”This phenomenon is widespread. In his research in New York City, Jonathan Kozol described how, within integrated schools, minority children were disproportionately assigned to special education class that occupy small corners and split classrooms, while gifted and talented classrooms occupied the most splendid spaces filled with books and puters, where they learned, in the children’s words, “l(fā)ogical thinking,” and “problem solving”. Students were remended for these classes by their teachers and parents as well as by their test scores. Kozol wrote in his notes,“Six girls, four boys, nine white, one Chinese. I am glad they have this class. But what about the others? Aren’t there ten black children in the school who could enjoy this also?” V.
