A

Jeff has an illness. He is recording (录音) his words so that his little son

will be able to hear his voice in the future.

Jeff caught the illness in 2011. The doctor told him that he might have

only two to five years to live and the illness would make him lose his voice, so

he decided to record his voice for his 13-month-old son, Bill.

His wife Gina said, “Jeff used to play and sing in a band, so his voice is

important to him. I can't imagine not having his voice around. I would certainly

like Bill to know his father's voice in this way.”

Jeff and his wife hope that they can save his real voice for their little son.

He now spends his weekends and evenings recording his voice. Their little son, Bill, will feel his parents' love when he grows up.

DNA is the whole “map”of the human body. It is something that all

humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look

like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.

People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In

1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our

family. It is because of small things called “genes”(基因) in our body. In 1953,

two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really

messages. They're written in the DNA with a special language. In 1961, another two scientists found

the first “word”that they could

understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its

parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word”

means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we

understand, the more doctors will be able to do.

(三) 阅读短文，完成第II卷第四大题的31—35小题。

D

How do you get to school every day? By bike, bus or car? In Chongqing, there will be 3,000 new school buses on the street by the end of this year. These school buses look just like the American school buses: yellow with a big nose. In February 2010, the Chinese government announced the first standards

(标准) for school bus safety. Since then, more yellow school buses can be seen on the street.

In China, besides the bus driver, there should be an adult on the school bus

to watch the students. If there are more than 40 students, two adults are needed.

The students usually rest or read books on the school bus.

In America, yellow school buses are very popular. There are about

480,000 school buses in the country. The older kids sit in the back of the bus.

The younger kids sit in the front. They usually listen to music, talk on their

phones or just sleep. The only adult on the bus is the driver.

The school bus is important in students' everyday lives. It can keep

children safe. Usually a child is much safer going to school by school bus than

any other way. It can also help the environment. A school bus saves a lot of gas

(汽油) because it can carry a lot of people.
