Zion's hard work began to pay off when he entered high school, where he became a YouTube hit for his high-flying dunks(灌篮)and powerful moves. But Sampson wanted her son to not only work hard at being great but study how the legends of the game went about their skills.‎ ‎"When I started playing, my mom said there were three players she wanted me to watch-Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan," Williamson said. "Even though I wasn't alive when he (Jordan) was doing those things, it just' attracted me. Everything he did was just incredible."‎ The national spotlight shined on Zion during his one year of collegiate basketball at Duke University, where he was coached by five-time national champion Mike Krzyzewski.

He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era.‎ Among fellow writers, Dickens has been admired. Leo Tolstoy, G. K. Chesterton, and ‎ George Orwell praised his realism and comic voice as well as his drawing people's attention to children and the poor. The French writer Jules Verne called Dickens his favorite writer, writing his novels "stand alone, dwarfing all others by their amazing power and suitable expression."‎ The Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh was inspired by Dickens's novels in several of his paintings like Vincent's Chair and in an 1889 letter to his sister stated that reading Dickens, especially A Christmas Carol, was one of the things that was keeping him from killing himself.‎ A Christmas Carol is most probably his best-known story, with frequent new adaptations. It is also the most-filmed of Dickens's stories, with many versions dating from the early years of cinema. According to the historian Ronald Hutton, the current state of the observance of Christmas is largely the result of a mid-Victorian revival of the holiday spearheaded by A Christmas Carol. William Makepeace Thackeray called the book "a national benefit, and to every man and woman who reads it a personal kindness".‎ At a time when Britain was the major economic and political power of the world, Dickens highlighted the life of the forgotten poor and disadvantaged within society. Through his journalism he campaigned on specific issues-such as sanitation and the workhouse-but his fiction probably demonstrated its greatest prowess(非凡的才能)in changing public opinion on class inequalities. The exceptional popularity of Dickens's novels not only displayed his outstanding ability to create attractive storylines and unforgettable characters, but also ensured that the Victorian public confronted issues. of social justice that had commonly been ignored.‎ ‎28.

Health.‎ D Scientists believe they could bring the likes of dodos(渡渡鸟) back from the dead through cloning experiments in the near future which could see the flightless birds revived from their extinction.‎ The big bird, which was about a metre tall and weighed up to 18 kilograms, was native to Mauritius but became extinct in the 1600s, shortly after humans discovered the island. However, 400 years later, scientists now believe that they could bring the dodo back to life through cloning of some of its closest living relatives.‎ Scientists recently published a paper which identified the genomic structure of dinosaurs. The team achieved this by tracing the ancestors(祖先)of birds -the dinosaurs closest living relatives-to create the genomic structure. Researchers involved in the study say it is an emphatic 'no' when it comes to the possibility of ever being able to clone dinosaurs, but they do say that more recently extinct birds like the carrier pigeon and the dodo could be brought back due to the fact that they have such close living relatives.‎ University of Kent scientists Darren Griffin and Rebecca O'Connor wrote in an article for The Conversation: We discovered that birds and most flightless dinosaurs had a lot of chromosomes (packages of DNA). Having so many allows animals to generate variation, the driver of natural selection.‎ However, though it is a long shot, it may be possible in future to use Jurassic Park technology to help avoid some of the harm that humans have caused. Mankind has seen the extinction of well-known avian dinosaurs such。，the dodo and the passenger pigeon.‎ Recovery(恢复)of DNA that is a only few hundred years old from these birds is a far more realistic way. It may also be that eggs from closely related living species might just be good enough. In the right conditions we may be able to use them to resurrect some of these species from extinction.‎ ‎32. What can we learn about dodos?‎ A. They flew to Mauritius in the 1600s. B. They could be used to clone pigeons.‎ C. They would die out in the near future. D. They might be brought back to life soon.‎ ‎33. How do scientists revive dodos?‎ A. They clone dodos' closest living relatives. ‎ B. They trace those endangered birds closely.‎ C. They look for dinosaurs' living conditions. ‎ D. They identify genomic structure of pigeons. 34. What does the underlined word "resurrect" in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. learn. B. protect. C. revive. D. prevent.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Scientists Expect to Clone the Dodos. B. Scientists Find Close Living Relatives.‎ C. Dinosaurs Have Already Been Extinct. D. Some Species Have Been Discovered.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ With unemployment levels at the highest since the Great Depression, many individuals don't have the privilege of working, and those who do feel nervous about how long they'll have that opportunity.
