题型:不详难度:来源:
As a reviewer,you bring together the two strands of accurate,analytical reading and strong,personal response when you indicate(指出) what the book is about and what it might mean to a reader(by explaining what it meant to you).In other words,reviewers answer not only the WHAT but the SO WHAT question about a book.Thus,in writing a review,you combine the skills of describing what is on the page,analyzing how the book tried to achieve its purpose,and expressing your own reactions.
Most book reviews start with a heading that includes all the basic information about the book,like:
Title.
Author.
Place of publication,publisher,date of publication.
Number of pages.
Like most pieces of writing,the review usually begins with an introduction that lets your readers know what the review will say.The first paragraph usually includes the author and title again,so your readers don’t have to look up to find this information.You should also include a very brief description of the contents of the book,the purpose or audience for the book,and your reaction and evaluation.
Then you move into a section of background information that helps place the book in context and discusses how to judge the book.Next,you should give a summary of the main points,quoting(引用) and explaining key phrases from the author.Finally,you get to the heart of your review—your evaluation of the book.In this section,you might discuss some of the following issues:
•How well the book has achieved its goal.
•What possibilities are suggested by the book.
•What the book has left out.
•How the book compares with others on the subject.
•What specific points are not convincing.
•What personal experiences you’ve had related to the subject.
It is important to use labels to carefully distinguish your views from the author’s,so that you don’t confuse your readers.
Then,like other essays,you can end with a direct comment on the book,and tie together issues raised in the review in a conclusion.
There is,of course,no set form,but a general rule is that the first onehalf to twothirds of the review should summarize the author’s main ideas and at least onethird should evaluate the book.

Seacamp’s tropical marine location in the lower Florida Keys enables it to offer a truly unique marine science program.This program is the heart of Seacamp.Young scientists participate in a variety of courses under the guidance of academically trained marine science instructors and biologists.All science activities include studies in both the field and the laboratory.Each session,140 to 160 campers come to Seacamp,mostly from the US,but also from across the world.There are about 30 international campers each summer from an average of twelve countries.Many Seacamp program graduates have gone on to careers as environmental educators and marine scientists.
One of Seacamp’s unique aspects is that campers create their schedules.In addition to science classes,campers choose from a variety of programs to ensure that there is something interesting and exciting for everyone.Campers interested in journalism may work on the camp newspaper,SEASCOPE,which is published periodically during camp sessions.Arts activities are also included.Photography allows campers to take home memories of friends,wildlife,and underwater experiences.
Seacamp teaches the fun and skills of sailing.It’s an excellent way for future marine scientists to become familiar with the winds,tides and currents that are of primary concern in oceanography.Basic Red Cross certification is offered to beginners in sailing.The Red Cross course in advanced lifesaving is taught at Seacamp.The course is designed to increase the campers’ ability to recognize and avoid dangerous water conditions and practices and to use selfrescue skills to get out of dangerous situations.
Parents may bring campers by car to Big Pine Key.Counselors(辅导员) also meet participants at the Miami International Airport on the opening day of camp and accompany them to Big Pine Key on a bus.The fee for roundtrip service is $90.To join the Seacamp adventure,interested campers should contact Seacamp for an application.
We love to talk about camp!For more information or to ask any questions you might have,please give our friendly staff a call and we’ll be glad to help!

We usually give credit of the taste to our tongue,but do you know that unless saliva(唾液) dissolves something,our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten.Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds present on the tongue.Try_to_dry_off_your_tongue_and_mouth_with_a_tissue_paper_and_then_taste_something.
Women are much better smellers than men.They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly pinpoint the exact fragrance of the sample.We all can store almost 50,000 different scents(气味),which are strongly tied to the memories.
Pupils(瞳孔) do not respond to light alone,but to the slightest bit of noise around too.Thus surgeons,watchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a soundfree environment.Even a small noise can dilate(扩大) their pupils,change the focus and blur(使模糊) their vision.If you do not wear glasses or contact lens due to having a 6/6 vision,you are just among the one third of the human population.It is now statistically proved that only one third of the population has perfect vision,rest all are either wearing glasses or are trying to read with a compromised vision.
Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smell,which is unique to us,except for the identical twins.This smell is very subtle(微妙的) yet can be sensed even by a newborn.It may be due to this scent that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around.Many of us can pinpoint the smell of our significant friends and colleagues.A significant part of this phenomenon is guided by genetics but it is also modified by the environment,diet and personal hygiene.This all together creates the unique chemistry that is individualistic for each person.
小题1:We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.
A.after a full meal our hearing is as good as before |
B.all sensory organs are connected and can be exchanged |
C.sensory organs’ functions can never be changed for their particular character |
D.we feel and learn about the world around us through our eyes,ears,nose and tongue |
A.The functions of sensory organs. |
B.The connectivity of sensory organs. |
C.A newborn’s senses of the sensory organs. |
D.The differences of senses between women and men. |
A.Our tongues can’t be dried while eating something. |
B.If your tongue is dried without any saliva on it,it will not work. |
C.A tissue paper is the only thing that can be used to dry our tongues. |
D.If your tongue is dried with a tissue paper,it may work as well as before. |
There are now more than a thousand genetic(基因的) tests,for everything from baldness to breast cancer,and the list is growing.Question is,do you really want to know what might eventually kill you?For instance,Nobel Prizewinning scientist James Watson,one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup,is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症).
“If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease,that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious,through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you.It could really mess you up.” said Dr.Robert Green,a Harvard geneticist.
“Every ache and pain,” Smith suggested,could be understood as “the beginning of the end.”“That’s right.If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer’s disease,then every time you can’t find your car in the parking lot,you think the disease has started.”
Dr.Green has been thinking about this issue for years.He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s.It was thought that people who got bad news would,for lack of a better medical term,freak_out.But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference” between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives.In fact,most people think they can handle it.People who ask for the information usually can handle the information,good or bad,said Green.
小题1:The first paragraph is meant to________.
A.ask some questions |
B.introduce the topic |
C.satisfy readers’ curiosity |
D.describe an academic fact |
A.He is strongly in favor of the present genetic tests. |
B.He is more likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. |
C.He believes genetic mapping can help cure any disease. |
D.He doesn’t want to know his chance of getting a disease. |
A.advisable not to let him know |
B.impossible to hide his disease |
C.better to inform him immediately |
D.necessary to remove his anxiety |

The newly discovered creatures include a birdeating frog with fangs (毒牙),a bird that would rather walk than fly and a gecko (壁虎) whose alien appearance inspired the report’s title of “Close Encounters”,the conservation group said.
The report was released ahead of major UN talks on climate change in Bangkok next week,which are being held before a makeorbreak summit in Copenhagen this December.
“Some species will be able to adapt to climate change,and many will not,potentially resulting in massive extinction,” Stuart Chapman,director of the WWF Greater Mekong program,said in the report.“Rare and endangered species like those newly discovered are especially vulnerable (易受伤害的) because climate change will further shrink their already restricted habitats,” he said.
“The new discoveries in 2010 include 100 plants,28 fish,18 reptiles,14 amphibians,2 mammals and a bird,”the WWF report said.The area spans Cambodia,Laos,Myanmar,Thailand,Vietnam and China’s Yunnan Province.
“Among the new species is the birdeating fanged frog,which remains hidden in a protected area of Thailand despite the fact that scientists are studying there for 40 years,” the report said.
The tigerstriped pit viper was discovered accidentally on an island off the coast of Vietnam when a scientist was looking for a lizard and his son pointed out that his hand was on a rock right next to the snake’s fangs.“We caught the snake and the gecko and they both proved to be new species,” researcher Lee Grismer of La Sierra University in California was quoted as saying in the report.The leopard gecko,found on another Vietnamese island,has the coloring of a leopard and bizarre orange,catlike eyes and thin legs.
The Greater Mekong region has proved a rich area for scientists.The WWF said in December 2010 that it had found 1,068 new species there between 1997 and 2009.
小题1:What is special about the newly discovered bird?
A.It usually walks. |
B.It likes walking and flying. |
C.It can eat other birds. |
D.It can eat frogs. |
A.most of the newly discovered species can adapt to climate change |
B.climate change can cause massive extinction of the newly discovered species |
C.the newly discovered species are not so vulnerable to climate change |
D.many species have already died out because of climate change |
A.frightened | B.disappointed |
C.excited | D.puzzled |
A.The Greater Mekong region is a rich area for scientists. |
B.Many rare species remain to be discovered in the Mekong region. |
C.Scientists have discovered many new species in the Mekong region. |
D.Climate change threatens Mekong new species. |
More than 62,000 people in the U.S. alone are waiting to ____ donated hearts,lungs and so on.The number of human donors falls far short of ____.Pig organs are of a(n) ____ size to human organs,and some scientists hope they might be used to help meet the ____.But previous attempts to transplant pig tissue into humans have ____.
The five pigs ____ a gene that adds a sugar to the surface of pig cells.The sugar would ____ immune(免疫的) rejection of the tissue.“This advance provides a neartime ____ for overcoming the problem that there is not enough human organs for transplants,”says an expert.“This is the ____ gene for overcoming the ____ stage of rejection.”
____,scientists warn that much more work is necessary ____ organs from copies of the pigs could be transplanted into humans.Human genes will need to be added,to ____ rejection of the organ in the long term.There are also ____ that pig viruses could infect patients.
Cloning techniques were ____ to the production of the pigs.Genes can only be knocked out(去除) in a single cell.Cloning of these single cells then allowed the ____ of a whole animal in which the gene was knocked out in every cell.But the PPL researchers have ____ in knocking out only one copy of the gene.The team will now attempt to knock out both copies of the gene.
The team will also ____ tests to investigate whether a virus from the pigs could infect human cells.“Although a lot of the work is very ____,we’re still very far off being able to grow an organ,” says Julia,who is working on this project and quite ____ to creating similar knockout pigs with researchers at the University of Missouri.
