Several years ago, I was at a train station in Amsterdam. I saw a young homeless man people for money so he could buy breakfast. Most of the simply took no notice of the young man or gave him a dirty look. There was one exception(例外) though: an older, well-dressed lady.

One of the most famous scientists to study adaptations (适应能力) was Charles Darwin (达尔文). He was born in England in 1809. He wasn't the best student in his school, but when he was 16, his father sent him to a medical school. Charles liked spending time outdoors observing (观察) nature more than attending medical classes and dropped out(辍学) without graduating.
Next, Charles' father sent him to school to become a minister (牧师). This time he made it to graduation. But he didn't want to do the work of a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science.
After graduation, Charles was invited to sail on the Beagle as an unpaid scientist. He wasn't the first choice, but he was the lucky one to go. The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. The crew's task was to make maps of the places they visited.
On December 27th, 1831 Charles Darwin sailed from England on the Beagle. The trip was planned to last two years. In fact, it lasted five. During this time, he saw many amazing things. He collected lots of plants and animals and took them back to England to study.
Twenty-three years later, Darwin published a scientific paper with another man named Wallace. Darwin described how some animals have adaptations that help them survive. They are passed on to offspring (后代). Darwin’s ideas about adaptations are still very important to the study of living things.
Darwin was very interested in _____.
A.attending medical classes |
B.the work of a minister |
C.sailing around the world |
D.science |
The Beagle was a(an) _____.
A.ship | B.plane |
C.plant | D.animal |
When Darwin published the scientific paper, he was _____ years old.
A.twenty-three | B.twenty-two |
C.forty-five | D.fifty |
The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to (指的是) _____.
A.adaptations | B.Darwin and Wallace |
C.animals | D.Darwin's ideas |
Which of the following is true?

Reading Oliver James'Affluenza, I thought about what often happens at home. My 12-year-old daughter is in tears."I have so take a test tomorrow. I don't understand any of it," she cries out. After shouting and shutting her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following dry I ask her how the test went and the just says "OK,I got a nine".
"Wow. well done!" I say, before she finishes with "But I never get a ten!"
According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. To test this, I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests. She looked at me as if I was thick. "Well, if I don't get good grades, I won't be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff."
I was quite surprised, because I don't consider myself a pushy parent. But James suggests and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system(体制)of education as a better model. Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.
For me, I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle, recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules, yet I have lived a happy life. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations, or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop good personality.
This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind. And he is looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongjon. Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools. It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around the world.
As the Russian poet Pushkin said," Inspiration(灵感)is needed in geometry(几何学)just as much as in poetry ",and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them .
What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter?
A.She sets herself a goal too high to reach. |
B.She should be more polite to her parents. |
C.She is hard-working but not very bright. |
D.She takes her grades much too seriously. |
What does the word "obsession"in paragraph 3 mean?
A.A plain and unavoidable fact. |
B.A satisfied and very proud state. |
C.A practical and widely-used way. |
D.A fixed and often unreasonable idea. |
What can we infer from the passage?
A.Social skills are as important as high grades. |
B.Interest in grades can shake self-confidence. |
C.The writer regrets not having studied hard at school. |
D.Danish educational system is for very smart students. |
The writer wants to tell us that____.
A.learning happily is the key to self-development. |
B.top marks may be helpful to increase one's interest. |
C.tests should be improved to give children inspiration. |
D.education should meet one's needs for word and money. |

MSG(monosodium glutamate) is a food additive(食品添加剂),which has been widely used by many food factories all over the world since it appeared first in Japan in 1909.
MSG is a substance that is added to some food to improve its original(原先的) taste and color. It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions(反应) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat(心跳). It was also reported that MSG excited a person’s brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many neurological disorders(神经紊乱). In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didn’t want to eat the food including MSG.
Today many food companies “hide” MSG on food labels(标签) by using different names. If you see “natural flavorings (调味品) ”,“hydrolyzed protein ”and “spices” in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to “report” MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous (有毒的)food additives have been added to the food.
To protect people’s health, our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives.
Monosodium Glutamate is ______ .
A.a food | B.an additive |
C.a factory | D.a country |
MSG is often used in ______.
A.frozen meats | B.cups |
C.clothes | D.book covers |
The examples in the second paragraph tell us ________.
A.the food including MSG is delicious |
B.people like to eat in a restaurant |
C.mice like eating the food including MSG |
D.MSG is not safe sometimes |
If you see “natural flavorings”, “hydrolyzed protein” and “spices” in a food label, you will know _____________.
A.you must eat the food in a hidden way |
B.the food label must be hidden |
C.MSG is probably added to the food |
D.you must report the food to your parents |
The underlined word “substance” in the article means __________.
A.color | B.material |
C.taste | D.Food |
