is exactly like you. besides people, there are millions of other living things. every living thing is different ｆrom each other. every living thing is a unique combination of characteristics.why is each living thing unique? ｗhere do its characteristics come ｆrom? do people receive characteristics ｆrom their mothers ａnd fathers? how? the work of gregor mendel was especially important to help us to answer these questions.mendel studied plants, especially pea plants. in some way they were all the same. for example, they all had flowers. but some had red flowers, ａnd others had white flowers. some were tall, others were short. mendel was especially interested in the differences. he wondered why each plant was of certain color, shape, size. he experimented with thousands of pea plants, with a careful record.ａnd he discovered some interesting things. he mated different pea plants. first, he mated a red flower plant with a white flower plant.all of the offspring(后代) plants had red flowers. mendel was curiousabout what happened to the white. then he mated two of the offspring plants. every time he did this, they produced three red plants ａnd one white plant. there was the white again. so mendel knew that even red plants somehow passed on whiteness. mendel decided that pea plants carried factors, ａnd the parents passed these factors onto their offspring.today we call these factors genes. genes are tiny pieces of matter. they carry information ｆrom parents to offspring. now we know that every person is unique ａnd one reason for this is that every person is a unique combination of genes.1. in the first paragraph, the author mainly tells us that __________.c. every living thing is unique2. the work of gregor mendel was especially important because________.d. he had first discovered what we call genes today3. gregor mendel made a special study of plant because ________.c. he wanted to find out why pea plants differed in shape, color ａnd size4. by experiments gregor mendel proved __________.b. pea plants possessed factors which could be passed onto the young5. which of the following statements is true?a. every person is unique because he is a unique combination of genes passage 2our eating habits are very important for good health ａnd a strong body. there are times when most of us would have sweets ａnd ice-cream rather than eat meat ａnd rice. sweets ａnd ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat at the end of a meal. if we have them at meals, they may take away our appetite (胃口). it is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. when we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. when we feel angry ｏr excited, we may not want to eat. a long time ago, in england ， some judges ｕｓｅd to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. if the man could not swallow the bread it was a sign that he was not telling the truth. although this seems very strange ａnd rather foolish， it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. a man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. because he is worried， he loses his appetite ａnd does not want to eat.1. why do we have to form good eating habits?d.because we want to keep fit.2. when do you think it is good to eat sweets ａnd ice-cream accordingto the passage?c.after a meal.3. the word “swallow” means .a.take into the stomach through the throat4. when does the writer think it would be better to have our meal?b.at the fixed time every day.5. what could a man do if he told a lie according to some judges inold england?d.he could not swallow any dry bread.passage 3my secret for staying young is simple. put all attention to the part of you —your brain ａnd keep it young ａnd growing. keep your mind awake ａnd you’ll stay young all over. these are exciting times.take an interest in the world around you，ａnd stick to learning at least one new thing every day.no matter how old you are，it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. i know a housewife with no knowledge before who made herself into a well-known industrial engineer. i know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly-paid fashionable dress designer.get over the idea that you are too old to go back to school. i know a man who entered medical college at 70. he got his degree with honors ａnd became a famous doctor. another man went to law school at 71 ａnd now an active lawyer.staying young is easy for those， old ｏr young， who live in the future. you can do it if you care enough to try. keep your mind awake ａnd active: that’s the only elixir (灵丹妙药) .1. according to the passage the brain to people of all ages， remainsyoung ａnd growing is . b. a scientific fact2. it is wrong for the old .a.to think oneself too old to go back to school3. the passage says that the man who entered college at 70 c.becamefamous for medical science.4. the only youth elixir is .d.to keep one’s mind awake ａnd live5. the writer suggests that you should learning at least onenew thing every day.d. keep onpassage 4if you are like most people， your intelligence varies ｆrom season to season. you are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. a noted scientist， ellsworth huntington (1876~1947)， concluded ｆrom other men’s work ａnd his own among people in different climates that climate ａnd temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.he found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than in summer heat. this does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. it does mean， however， that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer. spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. one reason may be that inthe spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.fall is the next-best season， then winter. as for summer， it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation ｆrom thinking!1. according to the passage， your intelligenceprobably .c.changes with the seasons2. ellsworth huntington decided that climate ａnd temperaturehave .b.some effect on most persons’ intelligence3. it seems that the cold winter .c.is better for thinking than in very warm weather4. one possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking isthat .a.all nature， including man， is growing then5. according to the passage， any vacations ｆrom thinking should betaken .c.during summer三、完型填空（每题0.5分，共10分）one day a police officer managed to get some fresh mushrooms(蘑菇). he was so _ 1 what he had bought that he offered to 2 the mushrooms with his brother officers. when their

But some people get deep into debt. And critics say some banks have terms and charges that can make it harder for people to pay off that debt.In the United States, there are calls for stronger government supervision (监督)of the credit card industry. Credit cards have been heavily marketed through the mail and at stores. They offer economic power at a price.In two thousand four, Americans had about eight hundred billion dollars in credit card debt. Now they owe about nine hundred sixty-eight billion. The average interest rate on those cards is currently thirteen and a half percent.Critics say banks made it too easy to get credit cards. But that may be changing. The crisis in the housing and credits markets is beginning to affect the credit card industry. More payments are late. Charges for late payments are a growing source of profit for banks. But late payments can also signal bad debts.The central bank, the Federal Reserve, says two-thirds of American banks have recently reported tighter lending requirements. Many people report having their credit limits reduced without warning.（199 words）6.What is a credit card?答案：a card which you can use to buy things and pay for it later7.What is NOT true about credit cards?答案：They can increase people's economic power.8.What is the average interest rate on credit cards in America?答案：13.50%te payments for credit cards can bring profit to _____.答案：banks10.According to the passage, who can reduce people's credit limits?答案：the governmentPassage 2Scientists in the United States have developed a method that may help to predict earthquakes earlier. They say it could give people who live in deadly earthquake areas enough warning to leave before an earthquake hits.Currently, the most modern systems for predicting earthquakes find them only a short time before the event. Like most strong earthquakes, the one that hit southwestern China in May was not identified early enough for people to flee the area. That earthquake killed sixty-nine thousand people.But scientists who study earthquakes are reporting that new technology could measure very small changes in the Earth's surface. Their report was published this month in Nature magazine. Fenglin Niu is a seismologist（地震学家）with Rice University in Houston, Texas. He and his team performed experiments along California's San Andreas Fault（断层）, an area famous for its many earthquakes.The team placed highly sensitive electrical devices about one kilometer below ground in two different places. The devices were able to measure even small changes in air pressure on the Earth's surface. The scientists say such changes are caused when rocks push together, forcing air out of small cracks in the rock. When this happens, seismic（地震的）waves travel faster than usual through the rock. （203 words）11.The method developed by some scientists in the United States can be used to _______.答案:predict an earthquake12.Why did the earthquake which hit southwestern China in May cause so many deaths?答案：Both A and B.13.What is California's San Andreas Fault famous for?答案：Earthquakes14.The Nature magazine is about_________?答案：earthquake15.What is NOT true about the experiments done by Fenglin Niu and his team?答案：The electrical devices can measure changes in air pressure on the Earth'ssurface.第三部分：词汇与结构（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）16.Don't push, let's get on the bus_____.答案：in turn17.They have done ____ work these days.答案：too much18.You _____ do that, if you don't want to.答案：needn't19.He has got a bad cold.

Reading ComprehensionNow let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time for which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness. Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his abili ty to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.1. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ .A. one’s familiarity with the textB. one’s purpose i n readingC. the length of a group of wordsD. lighting and tiredness2. The author may believe that reading ______.A. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixationB. requires a reader to see words more quicklyC. demands an deeply-participating mindD. demands more mind than eyes3. What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’sability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text e fficiently.” in the second para graph?A. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.B. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words.C. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading.D. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words.4. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.B. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.C. The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.D. The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.5.

It marks the unofficial end of summer and a traditional signal that school is about to start.But now public schools often begin sometime during August. They have different reasons for starting early.The Tucson Unified School District in Arizona began classes on August eleventh. Communications Director Chyrl Hill Lander says the earlier start time makes it possible for students to take semester（学期） exams before winter vacation in December. She says the school district also wants to follow a calendar similar to that of the nearby University of Arizona.Many schools in Virginia still open the day after Labor Day. But the public schools in Montgomery County, in the southwestern part of Virginia, began classes on August twentieth. Human Resources Director Mark Pashier says his county has been opening schools in August for at least the past eight years.The main reason, he says, is the tests that schoolchildren in Virginia take every spring.
