were unemployed.Male scientists were offered jobs.But female geneticists were not much in demand. An old friend from Cornell,Marcus Morton Rhoades,invited MeClintock 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 have 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 32.When did McClintock get a doctorate degree? A.In1921.B.In1923. C.In1925. D.In 1927. 33.In the middle of the Great Depression in the US, A.male geneticists were in great demand B.young scientists might have trouble finding a job C.female geneticists were not in demand at all D.male scientists lost their jobs and were out of work 34.Which of the following jobs was beneficial to McClintock's research? A.A job as a botany teacher. B.A temporary job in the genetics department. C.A permanent position in the laboratory. D.A job to research cancer. 35.Why was McClintock awarded a Nobel Prize? A.Because she received a degree in genes and chromosomes. B.Because she contributed to genetic engineering and cancer research C.Because she made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes D.Because she was the first American woman who studied genes and chromosomes. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中 有两项为多余选项。 Simple Ways to Build Trust The most valuable thing you can have is trust.When there is no trust,it becomes hard to get anything done.36 Then think of another one with very little trust.
