As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and was at bottom of his class. Now, aged 79，the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell (干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance(坚持) can lead.When he was 15 in 1948，Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”.In spite of his teacher’s criticisms(批评), Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.“My own belief is that we will, in the end，understand everything about how cells actually work，”Gurdon said.In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic (基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996，the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物) in the world.In 2006，Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample(样本) of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.“Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize(抓住) the chance.”1．Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?A．Sir John GurdonB．Shinya YamanakaC．Sir John Gurdon and Shinya YamanakaD．Gurdon’s science teacher2．What does the underlined word “ridiculous” mean?A．荒谬的B．无畏的C．荒废的D．无知的3．In what order are the following events mentioned in the passage.a. create the sheep Dollyb. take a cell from an adult frogc. use a person’s skin to create stem cellsd. move a frog’s genetic information into an egg celle. grow into a clone of the adult frogA．b-a-c-d-e B．b-d-e-a-c C．b-d-a-e-c D．b-c-d-a-e4．According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?A．Sheep Dolly was the first cloned animal in the world.B．Gurdon ranked first at his high school in biology.C．It’s impossible for the doctors to repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.D．According to the science teacher, Gurdon was not a gifted student.5．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Ninety percent of the time things don’t work.B．Luck favors the prepared mind.C．Life is full of pleasure.D．How to know cells actually work.D16、China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.The difference could be due to the different weather.Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.1．In southern China, people usually buy _________ at a time.A．a small amount of food B．a large amount of foodC．enough food for a week D．a lot of meat and vegetables2．If you buy fruits in the south, the shop owners may _________.A．peel and cut them for you B．laugh at youC．only sell them in boxes and baskets D．only sell a single apple or pear3．The underlined words "due to" mean "_________" in Chinese.A．所以B．但是C．然而D．因为4．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Different Weather in China B．Different Living Habits in ChinaC．Southern Chinese and Northern Chinese D．Southern China and Northern ChinaE17、Huw Thomas fell in love with Megan. But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her … until one day a letter arrived.He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelop(信封) over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read：Dear Huw，I don't know if this letter will reach you, and I do n't really know why I'm writing to you after all these years, but …Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw：Best wishesMeganHe couldn't believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read：After all these years, but I've just found your letter to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I'd read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years. I found them in a box of my father's papers. They were never opened.Huw, I never knew that you'd written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me. Now I realize that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said, “__▲__，my girl. I told you he was no good.” Finally, after about a year, I believed him.But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyways, he's dead now, so I can't ask him. All I can say is I'm sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for… everything.I hope that at least this letter reaches you. Of course, I'll understand if you don't want to write back to me, but if you do. I am still Megan Jenkins, and I will live at the same address.Best wishes，MeganHuw read the letter again. Everything with Megan came back to him. He had never forgotten her. He couldn't. Every day helooked at her face on the wall. He had a drawing of her. It had travelled everywhere with him. But to hear from her again …“Are you all right, Dad？” asked Mike, coming into t he room.1．Why did Huw turn to the end of the letters before he finished the rest of it?A．Because he was not interested in the beginning.B．Because he didn't like to read letters from Megan.C．Because he wanted to finish reading it in a short time.D．Because he wanted to know whom the letter was from.2．Megan failed to read Huw's letters because ________.A．her father kept themB．they were lost on the wayC．she moved to another cityD．he didn't post them at all3．Which of the following sentences can be put in the __▲__？A．Sorry, it's my faultB．Look up hereC．No, he has forgotten youD．Yes, here are the ones from him4．What can we infer from the passage?A．Huw had never got married all these years.B．Megan was still living with her father in Canada.C．Megan was sure that Huw would receive her letter.D．Megan still loved Huw and felt sorry for what had happened.F18、Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰) from his son.

He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once..The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. “It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. “How could you make it happen?”The farmer replied, “It’s very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”It is always the same to human beings. We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and s tay where we are just for safety and comfort.

Now a new study suggests it really brings lasting health advantages. Those who had a hard time getting over daily troubles had more physical health problems ten years later.If you are likely to think over daily troubles--running through every "what if" and "if only"-- it makes you feel that's a big deal. Maddux said, “You probably find you feel even worse after a night of thinking. If that cycle is repeated over time, it will wear you down."The study results are based on 1,155 people who took in a national health study. Each day, the people described their feeling changes over the past 24 hours. During the 10-year mark, only 17 percent of the people have no physical health problems, and only 20 percent are satisfied with their physical strength. But those who always say they have negative feelings because of daily troubles are more likely to have the physical problems, the finding showed.People can be likely to have bad feelings for a longer time for many reasons. For some people, worries or anger could drive it. Many others naturally have a more nervous feeling or are likely to think over and over again. But even if you are born to be negative, that can be changed."Yes, it's hard to 'let go'," Leger said. But people can develop that skill through practice, in which you train the mind to pay attention to the present, rather than worries about the past."Paying attention to the present, especially on things you are grateful for, has been shown to have several advantages, "Leger said.1．What does the study result show us?'A．1, 155 people say they have physical health problems.B．During 24 hours, people never change their feelingsC．Only 17% of the people have no physical health problems.D．Only 20% don’t feel quite goo d about their physical strength.2．The underlined expression "that skill" in Paragraph 5 refers to _______.A．asking "what if”B．letting it goC．caring about the past D．thinking over and over3．The purpose of the passage is to _______.A．introduce different kinds of negative feelings.B．help people know about the national health studyC．teach readers the ways to let the negative feelings goD．ask people not to think over too much about the daily troubles4．Which part of the magazine is the passage most probably from ?A．Technology Part B．Advertisement Part.C．Health Study Part D．Chemical Research Part.D16、A man got lost in a desert. He walked for two days but he still couldn’t find his way out. Dying for water, he found an empty house in the desert. There was a water pump(水泵）in the house!The man was so happy that he ran to draw water. But no water how hard he tried, no matter came out.He was sitting sadly on the ground when he saw a little bottle with a cork in it. On the bottle, there was an old notesay ing: Y ou must add the water into the pump before you can draw water! Don’t forget to fill it with water again before you leave! The man took the cork out and found the bottle was full of water!If I’m selfish（自私的）, as long as I drink the water, I can go out of this room alive, he thought. If I do as the note says, I might die of thirst. Should I take the risk or not?At last, he decided to do as the note said and began to draw water. Sure enough, lots of water started coming out from the pump!After he drank enough, he filled the bottle with water and added his words after the note.“Believe me, do as the note tells you!” he wrote.1．What does the underlined word “draw” in the second paragraph mean?A．绘画B．汲取C．抽签D．抽奖2．Which of the following sentences is right according to the passage?A．The man saw an old note under the bottle.B．The man took the cork out and drank the water in the bottle.C．The man added his words after the note because he wanted others to do as the note said.D．The man forgot to fill the bottle with water before he left the house.3．What is the correct order to draw water according to the note?a.Draw water from the pump.b.Take the cork out of the bottle.c.Add the water from the bottle into the pump.A．abc B．bac C．cab D．bca4．What is the story trying to tell us most?A．Sometimes being selfish is the best choice.B．It’s important not to be selfish.C．It’s selfish taking risks when you have troubles.D．Don’t believe strange notes until you make sure they are correct.E17、All living things need energy to live and grow. This energy comes first from the sun. Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food. Animals can not make their own food, and they eat plants. Other animals then eat the plant eaters.A food chain shows what eats what. It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zebras.Lions also eat other animals. Zebras eat other kinds of plants. So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy.A food web shows how food chains work together. From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals.Plants and animals that live in hot, dry deserts depend on water as well as food. Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water. Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats. Kangaroo rats don’t need to drink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat. Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food. Ringtail cats also come out only at night. Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats. Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats.Nothing is wasted in a food wed. Vultures eat dead animals. Vultures are scavengers. Scavengers do not hunt and killother animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead. When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies, it makes a meal for the vultures. Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean.1．Where does the energy that living things need first come from?A．Animals. B．Plants. C．The sun. D．Plant eaters.2．Why do ringtail cats come out only at night?A．Because they are afraid of coyotes. B．Because they are shy animals.C．Because it is very hot in the daytime. D．Because they can eat kangaroo rats.3．What kind of animal can be placed in the empty box of the picture?A．Kangaroo. B．Vulture. C．Cat. D．Zebra.4．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A．Lions eat different kinds of animals. B．Plants are on the top of the food chain.C．Scavengers can keep the environment clean. D．Some animals get water from the plants they eat.5．What’s the best title of the passage?A．Web of life B．Things that we eatC．Food in the desert D．The place where food is fromF18、Zhou Youguang, known as the "father of Pinyin" was a Chinese.

some tips for saving water．Indoors：●Turn the tap off while you are brushing your teeth，washing your hands，doing dishes，takinga shower and so on．●Catch the cold water that comes out of the tap or shower while you are waiting for the hot water．Use it to water plants or wash your toilet．●Don't wash clothes too often．When you use the washing machine，make sure there is not only a pair of pants in it．Outdoors：●Water the garden and grass at night．This gives water more time to get into the earth without evaporation from the day's heat．●Plant small trees under big trees．This will help stop evaporation and gives some shade（树阴） for your plants．You can also plant a shade garden under trees．26．It's important for everyone to save water because ．A.70% of the earth is waterB．the water on the

nearly 100years ago．It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the universe．The idea was that the waves are like waves in space，caused by some of the violent and energetic processes in the universe．For example，two black holes crashing into each other．Now a group of scientists，including ones from Caltech，MIT and the LIGO Scientific，Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves．David Reitze is the executive director of the LIGO observatory at Caltech．"We have detected gravitational waves．We did it!"What are these gravitational waves？Well，imagine throwing a rock into a pond．When the rock hits the flat surface of the water，it creates waves．Space﹣time is like the surface of the water．So that means gravitational waves are like the waves moving out from where the rock hits the water．It might be hard to understand，but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space．And when they get to the Earth，the waves pass through，and they contract and expand the planet as the waves go by．It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable．But these are not huge waves．They are very，very small，which is why it took so long to find them．You cannot see them with your eyes．They are smaller than the size of an atom．How did the scientists find them？They used a giant scientific tool called LIGO，which stands for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational﹣Wave Observatory．The billion﹣dollar LIGO project is two L﹣shaped observatories．One is in Louisiana and the other in Washington state．For years，scientists have been watching two black holes in another faraway galaxy．The two were spinning around each other，moving closer and closer together．When they finally crashed into each other，it was with such power and force that gravitational waves rang throughout the universe，like a giant bell．Those waves，traveling at the speed of light，finally reached the Earth，some l.3billion years later．They are the same waves that the scientists announced this past week．So，what does this discovery mean？Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically．32．What are gravitational waves about？A．About the workings of the universe．B．About how black holes form．C．About how the universe began．D．About how the waves form on the surface of water．33．The underlined sentence"two black holes crashing into each other"is used to express ．A．how the universe begins to existB．how gravitational waves formC．how new black holes appearD．how the earth is affected34．Why are gravitational waves difficult to find？A．Because they are too small．B．Because they are far away．C．Because they seldom occur．D．Because they have disappeared．35．With the discovery of gravitational waves，we'll ．A．create a new worldB．make full use of gravitational wavesC．understand the universe in a new wayD．avoid being hit by black holes．四、词汇运用（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）A）根据句意，用所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词．36．It's important to make full use of every minute

properly？Are they getting enough exercise？According to a new study，these worries may not be completely wrong．Meg Small，a researcher，says that only one third of college students have a healthy diet．Fortunately，according to the research，students seem to be healthier on the days when they communicate with their parents．Students at a large US university were asked to complete some surveys．The surveys included questions about how much time students spent talking to their parents and questions about their eating habits and activity levels．During the two﹣week survey，it was found that they ate 14% more fruits and vegetables，and were 50% more likely to take part in at least 30minutes of sports or activities on the days when they communicated with their parents for 30minutes or more．Meg Small believes that some parents may directly remind their children to eat better foods and take part in activities，but it is also suggested that even if healthy living was not discussed，the very act of having communicated with their parents can be enough to encourage them to make healthier choices and take better care of themselves．This study suggests that the more parents communicate with their children，the healthier lifestyles their children will lead．However，it is equally important to get a balance．By calling too often，parents may quite easily appear to distrust their children，while calling too little，or not at all，sends the message that they do not care．阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格．每空一词．Problem Most college students eat unhealthily at school．About the study ●Students at a U．S．university

improve environmental management and reduce pollution in recent years．China has made a plan to be a"green development"model over the next five years，increasing the share of non﹣fossil fuels（非矿物燃料）．The plan is to use wind，solar，biomass，water and geothermal energy．Beijing also says it will find cleaner ways of burning fossil fuels like coal．China is already the global leader in clean energy investment．According to a new government report，the share of non﹣fossil fuels has reached 11.2percent in 2015．That's an increase of 1.4percent from 2014．China has the biggest solar photovoltaic cell capacity and the largest wind power market．The number of water power stations in China is about a quarter of the world's．The rapid development of clean energy has helped China's carbon emissions per unit GDP reduce．"From 2005to 2014，China's energy use per unit GDP went down 29.9percent，and carbon dioxide emissions（二氧化碳排放） per unit of GDP went down 33.8percent．At that time，the numbers of developed countries only went down about 15percent，and the world average level did not change much．So it should be said that China has achieved a lot in cutting carbon pollution，especially in cutting the pollution per unit of GDP，"He Jiankun，deputy director of National Experts Committee on Climate Change，said．阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的短文，每空一词．China has tried to improve environment and reduce pollution．Beijing

结合上一句的句意"对不起，我想把手表修好，但我找不到修理店．"和下一句的后面部分"来，我会告诉你．"可以推测出我知道附近有一个修理店，one表示有一个，指代不确定的修理店；it代指上面提到的事物，指代确定的那一个修理店；some指一些修理店；that指的是那个修理店．结合句意可知是不确定的修理店，故选：A．【点评】本题考查了指示代词的用法，需要结合上下文来确定好使用哪一个不定代词来表达不确定的一个才能符合题意．10．﹣﹣﹣Do you agree with her idea？﹣﹣﹣No，I'm riding an electric bike to school．That's too dangerous．（）A．for B．on C．against D．off【考点】其他介词．【分析】﹣﹣你赞同她的观点吗？﹣﹣不，我反对骑电动车上学，太危险了．【解答】答案：C．结合问句再根据答语中的No，可以推断答语表达的意思是"不，我反对骑电动车上学，太危险了．"，所以设空处的介词短语表达的意思是"反对"，应该用be against，故选C【点评】英语介词的一个特点是一词多义，并且介词间语义交叉现象很多，习惯用法也很多，有时很难从词义上区分开来．故学习中要注意不断总结，熟记一些介词和动词的固定搭配用法及习惯用法，是完成此类问题的捷径．11． more，and you will improve your spoken English．（）A．To speak B．Speak C．Speaks D．Speaking【考点】祈使句．【分析】多说，你就会提高你的英语口语水平．【解答】答案：B．根据…more，and you will improve your spoken English，结合选项可知意思是多说，你就会提高你的英语口语水平．这里动词位于句首表示一种请求或命令，可知句子是一个肯定祈使句，其构成是：动词原形+其他；故选B．【点评】在学习中熟练掌握知识点，做题时先找出考点（祈使句），根据它的构成结构（动词原形开头）结合语境来选出正确的答案．12．Necessary action be taken to protect the environment so that we can have a better world．（）A．can B．must C．may D．might【考点】情态动词．【分析】为了保护环境，采取一些必要的措施是必须的，以便我们能拥有一个更美好的世界．【解答】答案：B．can能，会；must一定，必须；may可以；might，may的过去时，表示的可能性比may小．根据to protect the environment so that we can have a better world，可知为了保护环境，以便我们能拥有一个更美好的世界，推出采取一些必要的措施是必须的．must一定，必须，故选B．【点评】本题考查了情态动词的用法．解答时注意理解句意以及所给选项的意思并作出正确选择．13．﹣Don't be nervous whenever you have a test．﹣________．A．You'd better not B．Please don'tC．Yes，I'd love to D．Well，I won't【考点】常用日常交际用语．【分析】﹣无论你什么时候参加考试，都不要紧张．﹣好的，我会的．【解答】答案：D；You'd better not你最好别；Please don't请不要；Yes，I'd love to是的，我乐意；Well，I won't哦，我不会的．根据上文Don't be nervous whenever you have a test，无论你什么时候参加考试时，都不要紧张．可知对方提的是好的建议，答语应是：好的，我会的；故选D．【点评】情景交际的考查是英语考试的重点，做此类题型首先要理解各个选项中句子的含义，然后结合具体语境选择合适答语．回答时一般要遵从以下几个原则：礼貌原则，利他原则和英语文化习惯．14．﹣﹣Morn，do you like my drawing？﹣﹣!I have never seen a better one．（）A．How terrible B．What wonderfulC．How beautiful D．What delicious【考点】感叹句．【分析】﹣﹣Morn，你喜欢我的画吗？﹣﹣多么漂亮啊！我从来没见过比这个更好的．【解答】答案：C．本题考查了感叹句，所给选择项中都是形容词，即感叹句的中心词是形容词，根据感叹句的结构：How+形容词（副词）+主语+谓语，所以应该由how引导，再根据I have never seen a better one 可知他的画非常好，故选C．【点评】本题考查了感叹句的用法．解答时注意感叹句的常用句型：What+a（an）+（形容词）+单数可数名词+主语+谓语！What+（形容词）+可数名词复数或不可数名词+主语+谓语！How+形容词（副词）+主语+谓语！15．I really don't know．He looks unhappy．（）A．where was the post officeB．what's the boy's nameC．what to deal with the problemD．what's the matter with him【考点】宾语从句．【分析】我真的不知道他怎么了．他看起来不高兴．【解答】答案：D 根据I really don't know？再结合选项，可知I really don't know后面是跟一个宾语从句，宾语从句中应该用陈述语序，即主语+谓语，所以排除AB．再根据He looks unhappy．所以上面的宾语从句应该询问的是他怎么了．what's the matter with him中what本身是主语，所以后面的语序不用发生改变．故选D．【点评】主要考查宾语从句，一定要注意宾语从句的引导词，以及宾语从句的时态和语序问题．把握好这几点，是做好此类题目的关键！就本题而言主要考查宾语从句的语序．二、完型填空（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）16．It was a mid﹣April﹣a time when the planet Earth turns under the

She was scared when the wind shut a door. She felt even more scared as she imagined all the awful situations. Catherine was happy to be at her friends’ house. “I’m perfectly safe in this house. Eleanor’s room is near mine so I mustn’t be afraid.” she thought.She opened her bedroom door, saw a cheerful fire and was glad to be inside her room and not in the storm. Then she noticed the curtains were moving. As she walked to the windows to make sure there wasn’t a ghost behind them, she sang a little song to give her courage. She pulled back the curtains and looked behind them. Of course it was only the wind! She noticed an old box near the window. Now, Catherine, don’t start imagining what’s in that! Silly girl!She started to get ready for bed but she noticed a tall, black cupboard in the corner of the room. That can’t be the black cupboard Henry told me in his ghost story! Catherine picked up her candle and slowly walked towards the cupboard. It’s black and old, just like the cupboard Henry told me! Catherine saw the key was in the door and couldn’t help opening it to see what was inside. She could not sleep until she knew what was in that cupboard, but she was very afraid as she tried to open it. Very afraid but not discouraged, at last, the key turned, but she still couldn’t open the door.She stopped, listened to the sounds outside and she felt awful. There are surely terrible things in that cupboard and she can’t sleep until she knows what they are! ________(Adapted from Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen) 29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．There was something behind the curtain.B．She felt afraid to open the blackcupboard.C．Catherine didn’t like the black cupboard.D．She saw the cupboard when in bed. 30．What’s the correct order of the following?①Catherine crossed the hall.②Catherine saw a cupboard.③Catherine noticed an old box.④Catherine pulled back the curtains.⑤Catherine came to her friend’s home.A．⑤①④③②B．①⑤②③④C．⑤②③④①D．①⑤③②④31．Which of the following sentences can be the best to put in _________ in Paragraph 4?To remember vocabularies drives a lot of students mad.

Here is a passage for you to read and learn.四、根据句意及音标填空五、根据汉语提示填空六、用所给单词的正确形式填空八、用所给单词的正确形式填空九、短文首字母填空十、阅读补全短文It’s midnight and the room is dark and quiet. You are struggling to fall asleep when you hear some strange sounds from upstairs or somewhere in the building—tapping or even marbles（弹珠）dropping and bouncing on the floor! Are there ghosts making noise? Luckily, science can explain.Andy Piacsek, a scientist with the US Acoustical Society, told the sounds could change as they spread through buildings, meaning the early sound could be very different from the final noise of “marbles”.“Plumbing（管路系统）is a good cause,” Andy suggested. When water floods through a pipe, it compresses（压缩）the air in the pipe and creates the first sound of a dropped marble. As the water flows away, the sound it makes grows more loudly, which may be similar to the sound of a dropped marble bouncing on the floor.十一、阅读填表Things adults should learn from kidsAdults should learn from kids a lot. For example, kids tend to show love. Every action they do for others, is filled with love. They don’t think twice before loving, and they just love. So adults also need to know: the best way to receive love is to first give it. Unluckily, most of us have developed the habit of questioning everything.Kids never hide emotions. They cry when they hurt themselves, and express displeasure when things don’t go their way. However, we adults always try to hide our feelings, and never express ourselves sincerely. Crying or expressing oneself is what normal people do. Never hold back tears or happiness.Kids are curious little beings, who always try to understand their surroundings by completely involving themselves in every task they undertake. They have a huge taste for十二、材料作文参考答案：1．A【详解】句意：——丹尼尔，你正在读的那篇文章是关于什么的？——这是关于乔纳森的，一只190岁的乌龟。

Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have 1 some interesting facts.Perhaps, we prefer to sit 2 to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. We even choose to sit near someone 3 looks like us. People with glasses sit near 4 people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.We seem to believe 5 people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude, or even we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true 6 it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group.
