Some people think 16 matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas aboutwhat birth order means. Some people say that oldest children, 17 are smart and strong-willed, are very likely 18 (succeed). The reason 19 this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for theirfirst child and give him or her a lot of attention. An only child will succeed for 20 same reason. What happens to the 21 children in the family? Middle children don’t get so much attention, so they don’t feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, 22 , often gets special treatment. Often this child grows up to be funny. But a recent study saw things quite 23(difference). The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didn’t take many chances in 24 lives. They usually 25 (follow) orders. Rules didn’t mean as much to later children in the family. They took chances and they often did better in life. 阅读理解（总分40分， 每题2分） A Slang（俚语） is a popular, less official and often very current form of language. It is an important part of a living language and is constantly changing as language changes. Slang is often playful, direct and sometimes less respectful than the more official and traditional version oflanguage. So now I'm going to lay it on you! To “lay it on” is American slang for “to tell” or “to explain.” Slang can take many forms. For example, slang can be local to one city or area. In Washington, D.C. there is a whole set of slang to describe politics and business in the city. For example, the term POTUS stands for President of the United States. POTUS can often be found with his wife, FLOTUS, the first lady of the United States. “Inside the Beltway” is a popular expression that describes the area of Washington, D.C. The beltway is the large highway that circles the city. The Internet has helped create a whole new kind of computer-related slang. An “angry fruit salad” is an expression that describes a Web site with too many bright colors. “Netiquette” is slang for correct behavior when using the Internet. Young people often develop the latest slang. For example, to say Special English “rocks” or is “phat” means Special English is really great. A “kegger” is a party where beer is served.? If something is “wack” it is wild and crazy. Different professions often have their own slang as well. For example, medical workers might refer to a complaining patient as a “gomer”.? A "tough stick" is someone whose veins are difficult to find when he or she needs to have blood taken. No matter how well you speak English, there are always new and interesting slang words to discover. There are entire dictionaries for describing slang. Many experts do not even agree on what is and what is not slang. Often slang words later become a part of officially accepted language.Official or not, slang is an energetic and exciting part of the American language that continues to change.? 26.Which of the following is not true for slang compared with the official language?A.Playful ?B. Direct ?C.Less respectful ? ?D.More official27.Which of the following is not mentioned to have helped create slang? A.The internet. B.Young people. C.President of the United States. D.Professions28.Where do you think is the passage adapted from? A.A radio speech B.A magazine. C.A textbook. ?D.A newspaper.29. Which of the following can be the besttitle of this passage? A.What is slang ?B.Slang is popular? C.Who creates slang D.Slang is a language.30.It can be inferred from the passage that______. A. if you speak English very well, thereis no problem for you to understand English speakers? B.slang words are created by people in their daily life? C.English speakers are clear whether it is a slang? D.slang words will never be accepted as official language? B Limit the use of private cars, improve public transport and encourage the use of bicycles to control traffic congestion(拥挤) during the 2008 Olympics, experts from foreign countries advisedBeijing on Friday. Professor Nigel Wilson, of the civil and environmental engineering department of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said he was "supportive to the limiting of private cars during the Olympic Games", saying that in foreign countries, the method is also adopted during big events, but he was unsure about the approach. The government planned to keep an average of more than onemillion cars off the roads to improve traffic flow during the Olympics, said Liu Xiaoming, deputy director of the Beijing Traffic Committee, at the China Planning Network First Urban Transportation Congress. Sharing Wilson's view, Dr. Yoshitsugu Hayashi, dean of the Graduate School of Environmental Studies of Nagoya University, believed the reduction in car use should be achieved not by banning, but through incentives. "Drivers who don't use their private cars could be given points," he said, "and the points could be exchanged for goods from online shopping." Wetzel stressed limiting the use of company cars. "Governmental officials should also be encouraged to use public transportation or ride bicycles," he said, adding that he himself is a bicycle-rider in London. Matthew Martimo, director of Traffic Engineering with Citilabs, said the bicycle was China's advantage. "Limiting private cars is an idea worth trying but it is just a temporary solution," he said. "The real cause of congestion is high density of people in Beijing and many have cars." Beijing, with a population of 15 million, is home to more than three million automobiles, and the number is rising by 1,000 a day. Professor Wilson said the Olympic Games was a great opportunity for Beijing to think about traffic problems and develop transportation, adding that the city had already been making public transport more efficient. Beijing has promised to stretch its 114-kilometer city railway to 200 kilometers before the opening of the Olympic Games. “We are looking forward to borrowing Beijing's experiences and drawing from its lessons in preparation for the 2012 Olympics,” said Wetzel. 31.It canbe seen from the passage that ______.? A.the government planned to forbid over 1 million cars to run on the roads during the Olympics.? B.banning private cars is the best way to solve traffic congestion in Beijing? C.Beijing now has 200 kilometers of city railway? D.the use of company cars will not be limited32.Why did Wetzel stress “ he himself is a bicycle-rider in London”?? A.To limit the use of company cars.? B.To encourage governmental officials to use public transportation or ride bicycles.? C.To show that riding bicycles is good for health.? D.To show that he loves riding bicycles.33.Which of the following may be the reason for the traffic congestion in Beijing?? A.The 2008 Beijing Olympic games. ?B.The number of cars in Beijing is rising by 1,000 a day. ? C.The large population in Beijing and the large number of cars.?

B.to encourage the use of bicycles to control traffic congestion during the 2008 Olympics? C.to borrow Beijing's experiences and draw from its lessons in preparation for the 2012 Olympics?

American researchers say the disease will affect more than one hundred million people worldwide by the year twenty fifty. That would be four times the current number. Researchers and doctors have been studying Alzheimer's patients for a century. Yet the cause and cure for the mental sickness are still unknown. However, some researchers have made important steps towards understanding it. Several early signs of the disease involve memory and thought processes. At first, patients have troubleremembering little things. Later, they have trouble remembering more important things, such as the names of their children. There are also some physical tests that might show who is at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The tests look for proteins in brain and spinal cord fluid. The proteins appear to be found only in people with the disease. The protein tests correctly identify the presence of the disease in about ninety percent of patients. Now, a much simpler physical test to predict Alzheimer's risk has been developed. Researchers found that trouble with the sense of smell can be one of the first signs of Alzheimer's. Using this information, they developed a test in which people were asked to identify twelve familiar smells. These smells included cinnamon, black pepper, chocolate, paint thinner, and smoke. The study continued for five years. During this period, the same people were asked to take several tests measuring their memory and thought abilities. Fifty percent of those who could not identify at least four of the smells in the first test had trouble with their memory and thinking in the next five years. Another study has shown a possible way to reduce a person's chances of developing Alzheimer's disease in old age. Researchers in Chicago found that people who use their brains more often are less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Those who read a newspaper, or play chess or word games are about three times less likely to develop the condition. Researchers say they still do not know what causes Alzheimer's disease. But they say these findings might help prevent the disease in the future. 41．What’s the current number of Alzheimer’s patients?
