She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca，New York.Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921.Years later，she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics.
Barbara McClintock decided to study botany，the scientific study of plants，at Cornell University.She completed her undergraduate studies in =1923.McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell.She completed a Master 's degree in 1925.Two years later，she finished all her requirements for a doctorate.
McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education.She taught students botany.The 1930s was not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States.The country was in the middle of the Great Depression.Millions of Americans were unemployed.Male scientists were offered jobs.But female geneticists were not much in demand.
An old friend from Cornell，Marcus Morton Rhoades，invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory.It was a research centre on Long Island，near New York City.McClintock started in a temporary job with the genetics department.A short time later，she accepted a permanent position in the laboratory.This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid.
By the 1970s，her discoveries had had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research.McClintock won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes.She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize.

3．The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past.With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones，writing by hand has become something of nostalgic （懷舊的）skill.However，while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching，many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger，professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington，says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand.The study，published in 2009，found that when writing with a pen and paper，participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study，Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. "Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary，word meaning and concepts.It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas." Berninger said.
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe（轉(zhuǎn)換） "those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen，" the study said.Seeing the words in the "mind's eye" helps children not only to turn their ideas into words，says Berninger，but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.
"In our computer age，some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks，" she said. "But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level，they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer."
（1）What makes writing by hand a thing of the past？
A．The absence of blackboard in classroom.
B．The use of new technologies in teaching.
C．The lack of practice in handwriting.
D．The popular use of smartphones.
（2）Which of the following best shows the role of spelling？
A．Spelling improves one's memory of words.
B．Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.
C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
（3）What does "mind's eye" in paragraph 5 mean？
A．Window.
B．Soul.
C．Picture.
D．Imagination.
（4）What conclusion could be drawn from the passage？
A．Computers can help people with their choice of words.
B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C．Handwriting still has a place in today's classrooms.
D．Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.組卷：79引用：2難度：0.7

9．讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
It was the first day of our new grade.Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily，excited to see each other again after the long holidays.When the door slid open，all of us stopped talking and turned to look.In came our teacher Ms Sullivan，followed by an ordinary-looking boy， "This boy's name is Rafael." Ms Sullivan announced. "He's a transfer student（轉(zhuǎn)校生），and he's going to be in our class starting from today.Make sure all of you welcome him warmly."
The class clapped.But I didn't want to have a second look at the newcomer，for he had no outstanding qualities considering his small figure and casual T-shirt.
"Oh，I forgot to mention one thing." Ms Sullivan spoke up. "Rafael actually has hearing problems.Normally he would have hearing aids on，but his old ones have just been broken.
His doctor suggested that he stay at home until he got his new ones.However，Rafael insisted on attending his first day of school.So if you want to communicate with him，you have to write it on a piece of paper."
This single speech sent the whole class up into an uproar（嘈雜）.Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise.Others voiced cries of concern out of pity.
Ms Sullivan calmed everyone down. "I'd like someone to personally help him out throughout the day.Do I have any volunteers？"
"How can a disabled person be intelligent？" I thought to myself.I refused to raise my hand，expecting someone else would.But nobody did or said anything.Dead silence spread across the classroom.
It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms Sullivan's.
"How about you，James？" She asked me. "Is it okay for you to take care of Rafael just for today？"
It is difficult to refuse a request by someone，especially if that person is a teacher.I sighed and nodded slightly.Ms Sullivan gestured for Rafael to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class.
注意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請按如下格式在相應(yīng)位置作答。
Immediately，the class became excited.____________
Then Rafael rose and walked onto the platform.____________組卷：14引用：3難度：0.2
