They say reduced lung growth could cause the babies to suffer breathing problems and lung diseases later in life. Doctors in Boston studied 1,100 children. The mothers of some of the children smoked, the other mothers did not. Doctors found that the lungs of the children whose mothers smoked were 8% less developed than the lungs of the children whose mothers did not smoke, and that the children whose mother smoked developed 20% more cold and breathing diseases than other children later in life.Another recent study found that children had a greater chance of developing lung cancer if their mothers smoked. The study also showed that the danger of lung cancer increased only for sons and not for daughters, and that thefather’s smoking did not affect a child’s chance of developing lung cancer49. Whose baby would have breathing diseases?A.Mother who smokes cigarettes after their baby are bornB.Mother who smokes cigarettes before their baby are bornC.Mother who don’t smoke at allD.Mother whose mother smokes50.

This passage is to __________.A. warn us of the danger of smoking before children.B. warn people with breathing problems not to smoke.C. warn us that mothers who smoke may affect their children’s health.D. warn us that fathers who smoke may affect their children as mothers4.Leaves are nature’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose（葡萄糖）.Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow. The way plants turn water and CO2 into glucose is called photosynthesis (光合作用).That means “putting together with light .” A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is green. It gives plants their green colour. As summer ends and autumn c omes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis .The trees will rest, and live on the food they have stored during the summer. They begin to close their food-making factories. The green Chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. Then, we begin to see yellow and orange colours. A few of these colors stay in the leaves all the time. We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are c overed up by the green Chlorophyll. Red and purple colors we see in leaves are made mostly in the autumn. In some trees, like maples, glucose is stored in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into red. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.52 the underlined word“chlorophyll” in the first Para means_________in Chinese.A 叶绿素B 氧气C 胡萝卜素D 蛋白质53 The way _________is called photosynthesis.A Plants get CO2 from the airB plants take water from the groundC plants turn water and CO2 into glucose.D Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow.54 The gas called carbon dioxide is from the_________A groundB rootsC airD sunlight55 Which of the following is not true?A．when autumn and winter come, the days get shorter and shorter.B．During winter trees rest and live on the food they store during the summer.’C．During winter small amounts of yellow and orange colors are kept in the leaves all the time.D．Trees begin to stop making food in summer.5.In the past, when people had problems, they went to their families or friends to get advice.Today it is possible to get advice from radio shows, TV programmes and telephone hot lines, too. A hot line is a telephone line that offers a direct way of getting in touch with advisers .Most hot lines are completely anonymous ,that is to say , callers do not have to say their names or telephone n umbers. Most hot lines are usually free. Callers do not have to pay for the advice or the phone calls, even if the calls are long distance ones. At some hot lines, the advisers are volunteers. Other hot lines pay their advisers for their work. Usually the advisers are full-time people with years of education and experience, but sometimes, the advisers have only taken a short training before starting to work on the hot lines. All the advisers listen to people and help them solve their problems56. A hot line is a telephone line_________A that is hotB through which people get adviceC whose number no one knowsD through which callers take a short training57. the underlined word“anonymous”in the passage means_________in Chinese.A secretB well-knownC exactD wonderful58.
