　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　He’s out there somewhere, an instant icon in the records of American conflict, the final big-game hunter. But a puzzle, too, his identity would be kept a secret for now, and maybe forever.

　　He is the unknown shooter. The nameless, faceless triggerman who put a bullet in the head of the world’s most notorious（臭名昭著的）terrorist, Bin Laden.

　　He’s likely between the ages of 26 and 33, says Marcinko, founder of the “SEALs Team 6” that many believe led the attack on Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. He’ll be old enough to have had time to hurdle the extra training tests required to join the counter-terrorism unit, yet young enough to stand the body-punishing harshness of the job. The shooter’s a man, it’s safe to say, because there are no women in the SEALs. And there’s a good chance he’s white, though the SEALs have stepped up efforts to increase the number of minorities in their ranks, Marcinko and Smith say.

　　He was probably a high school or college athlete, Smith says, a physical specimen who combines strength, speed and wisdom. “They call themselves ‘tactical athletes,’” says Smith, who works with many future SEALs in his Heroes of Tomorrow training program in Severna Park. “It’s getting very scientific.”

　　Marcinko puts it in more conventional terms: “He’ll be ripped,” says the author of the best-selling autobiography “Rogue Warrior.” “He’s got a lot of upper-body strength. Long arms. Thin waist. Flat stomach.”

　　On this point, Greitens departs a bit. “You can’t make a lot of physical assumptions,” says the author of “The Heart and the Fist: The Education of a Humanitarian, the Making of a Navy SEAL.” There are SEALs who are 5 feet 4 and SEALs who are 6 feet 5, Greitens says. In his training group, he adds, there were college football boys who couldn’t hack it; those who survived were most often men in good shape, but they also had a willingness to show their concerns in favor of the mission.

　　The shooter’s probably not the crew-cut（平头）, neatly shaven ideal we’ve come to expect from American fighting forces. “He’s bearded, rough-looking, like a street naughty boy,” Marcinko supposes. “You don’t want to stick out.” Marcinko calls it “modified grooming standards.”

　　His hands will be calloused（长老茧）, Smith says, or just rough enough,” as Marcinko puts it. And “he’s got frag in him somewhere,” Marcinko says, using the battlefield shorthand for “fragments” of bullets or explosive devices. This will not have been the shooter’s first adventure. Marcinko estimates that he might have made a dozen or more deployments（部署）, tours when he was likely to have dealt with quite a number of dangerous situations, getting ready any time for explosive devices or bullets.

　　5.

　　Which of the following is most likely to be the title of the passage?

　　A. Who shot Bin Laden?

　　B. What do the SEALS do?

　　C. How can boys be SEALS? D. What SEALS are like?

　　6.

　　From the passage we can know that the writer ___________.

　　A. knows clearly what the shooter is like B. doubts whether Bin Laden is dead

　　B. is certain that the shooter is a man D. is not sure of the shooter’s gender

　　7.

　　We can say for sure according to the passage that ___________.

　　A. the shooter will eventually be revealed in the Press

　　B. the writer is a person who is curious about the shooter

　　C. the writer is a detective who tries to arrest the shooter

　　D. the shooter is a strong man with a pair of rough hands

　　8.

　　Which of the following are the names of writers mentioned in the passage?

　　①. Marcinko ②. Greitens ③. Smith ④. Abbottabad

　　A. ①④ B. ③④ C. ②③ D. ①②

　　When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn’t let that happen.

　　Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.

　　Mr. Clark was selected as Disney’s 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said, “You’re all going.”

　　On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn’t want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55.

　　In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit the orphanages (孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life. It’s now my dream to one day start a group of women’s clubs, helping people from all backgrounds.

　　11. Without Mr. Clark, the writer

　　.

　　A. might have been put into prison

　　B. might not have won the prize

　　C. might have joined a women’s club

　　D. might not have moved to Atlanta

　　12. The Essential 55 is

　　.

　　A. a show

　　B. a speech

　　C. a classroom rule

　　D. a book

　　13. How many students’ names were finally drawn out of a hat by Mr. Clark?

　　A. None

　　B. Three

　　C. Fifty-five

　　D. All

　　14. What can we learn in the passage?

　　A. It was in Harlem that we saw The Phantom of the Opera for the first time.

　　B. Mr. Clark taught us not to talk with our mouths full, and we did.

　　C. Mr. Clark was selected as Disney’s 2000 Teacher of the Year in Los Angeles.

　　【参考答案】11—15、11-20 ADABD

　　Can people change their skin color without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color.

　　The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.

　　Scientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebrafish（斑马鱼） to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment (色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin color is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanin (黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanin per pigment cell determine skin color.

　　It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation (变异) in the gene for melanin production. This results in less pigmented skin.

　　However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.

　　Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun (太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer.

　　But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.

　　Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin color, said Cheng.

　　The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin color without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.

　　16. The passage mainly tells us that ________.

　　A. people can not change their skin color without any pain

　　B. the new discovery could lead to research into ways to change skin color safely

　　C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin color as he liked

　　D. scientists have found out that people’s skin color is determined by the gene

　　17. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

　　A. nowadays people who want to change their skin color have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatment

　　B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene

　　C. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer

　　D. there are two kinds of genes

　　18. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebrafish in order to ________.

　　A. find the different genes of humans’

　　B. prove the humans’ skin color is determined by the pigment gene

　　C. find out the reason why the Africans’ skin color is dark

　　D. find out the ways of changing people’s skin color

　　19. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that _____

　　A. they are born light-skinned people

　　B. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gene for melanin production

　　C. they have fewer activities outside

　　D. they pay much attention to protecting their skin

　　20. The writer’s attitude towards the discovery is ________.

　　A. neutral（中立的）

　　B. negative

　　C. positive

　　D. indifferent（冷漠）
