26、  

Genetics (遗传学) is the science of what makes you who you are. People who study genetics，called geneticists, learn about how parents pass on information through their genes (bits of information in your body that you cannot see) to their children. Is there anyone in the world like you? No! Your eye color，how tall you are and the size of your nose all come from the special information in your genes that makes you different from everyone else.

We get our genes from our parents. So genetics explains why you might look similar to your mother or brother and why you like some of the same things or speak in a similar way. Genes come in pairs-you get half from your mother and half from your father. We know that some genes are stronger than others. For example, the gene for brown eyes is stronger than the gene for blue eyes. So does it mean that if your parents both have brown eyes that you do too? Not always.

Because genes come in pairs, it's possible that someone with brown eyes has the gene for both brown eyes(B) and blue eyes (b). Look at the picture on the right that shows how the genes from Mum and Dad might be passed on to their children.

Why is genetics important? It's fun to think about which family members you are similar to and which genes you have, but studying genetics is also very important for our health. Some diseases are in our genes, so studying genetics can help us know if we might become ill in the future. It also helps doctors and scientists to know what medicine might help that disease.

【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A.What genetics is.

B.What geneticists learn about.

C.How the size of your nose comes from.

D.How parents pass on information to their children.

【2】What does human genetics explain?

A.Why you look like your friends.

B.Why you are different from other people.

C.Why parents pass on information to their children.

D.Why many people in the world look exactly the same.

【3】What can we know from the text?

A.Our genes come in pairs.

B.Some genes are longer than others.

C.People get their genes mainly from their mothers.

D.Your parents both have brown eyes that you do too.

【4】Why is studying genetics very important according to the text?

A.Because it is very funny. B.Because it is useful for scientists.

C.Because it can help us fight diseases. D.Because it can help us make medicine.

27、People hold different views on what or how much homework should be. It is partly due to(由于) the fact that people can’t seem to agree on the purpose of homework.

Some teachers think that homework is necessary to reinforce (巩固)what is learned in school. And so they ask their students to memorize what was discussed in class through homework. Some teachers think the point of homework is to cover material that the class didn’t have time to get to, so their homework is to let students learn additional things. Other teachers like homework simply because they want students to form work habits and still others believe homework is necessary because it’s the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school.

However, many parents seem to have different ideas. Elisa Cohen, who has twins at Lafayette Elementary School, doesn’t like the fact that third-grade students in DC elementary schools are asked to write about 25 book summaries a year. She said, “They do the same thing over and over without really getting into alternate (交替的) ways of thinking about books, reading and writing.”

Some education reformers (改革者), such as Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor well-known for his theory on multiple intelligence, think that Cohen is on the right track. But it’s often hard to persuade overworked teachers to give much thought to homework tasks.

【1】 How many opinions do the teachers have on “homework”?

A.3. B.4. C.5. D.6.

【2】 According to the experts’ opinions, ___________.

A. what Cohen’s thinking about is correct

B. teachers shouldn’t work too hard or too long

C. teachers should give necessary work to the students

D. teachers should let the students repeat what they didn’t have time to get in class

【3】What’s the problem with Elisa Cohen’s twins in writing about their book report?

A. They find homework really hard.

B. They simply copy one repeatedly.

C. They get different ways of thinking about their work.

D. They aren’t given much thinking about what they read.

【4】Some education reformers think we should improve our school education by_____.

A. increasing homework   B. changing schools

C. changing teachers D. reducing homework

28、With my kids laughing and playing around on such a cozy spring day, I couldn’t help thinking back on the past old days. What a magic!

I was a teacher before I had my first daughter. As much as I enjoyed being an educator, I decided to stay at home with our baby — at least for the first few years. I enjoyed every day we spent together for a year and a half until I found myself pregnant (怀孕) with identical twin girls.

After the birth of the girls, it was the busiest time of my life. Between bottle feeding two, changing three little ones in diapers (尿布), and getting them to sleep, I was a hot mess. I was so exhausted that showering and washing my hair took too much energy, so I often skipped them. One afternoon when I sat on the couch with my three screaming children, an idea struck me: I had to write this down. All of it. Every experience, feeling, and challenge from the past year and a half. I didn’t know how I would find the time to blog about but I knew I would.

And I did. I wrote during nap times, in the evenings, and on weekends when my husband was home and could help watch out the kids. It started incomplete sentences written down in a notebook or on my laptop. Slowly over months the words formed complete thoughts, then complete paragraphs. Soon, I had made another decision. I wanted to write a memoir (回忆录) in hopes that it would inspire other women in similar situations. When my book was finally published and drew some attention, I realized how much I loved writing essays that took the reader on a trans-formative journey, much like my own.

The old proverb says “write what you know.” In just a few short years I have had so much life experience that I have a lot to write about. My daughters are my muse. The experience of having all three of them has inspired me to pursue my dream of writing.

I feel I am still teaching, but now instead of through a chalkboard, my words flow through the pages of my books, essays and features. And the only identity and role I need now, is the one I have — as a mother.

【1】How does the author describe her life as a mother of three children?

A．Busy and tiring.

B．Messy and annoying.

C．Pleasant and interesting.

D．Amazing and meaningful.

【2】Why did the author decide to write a memoir?

A．To achieve her writing dream.

B．To make a note of her past.

C．To earn money for her family.

D．To help more mothers like her.

【3】What does the underlined word “muse” in paragraph 5 mean?

A．Target.

B．Inspiration.

C．Audience.

D．Favorite.

【4】What does the author mainly talk about in the text?

A．How she brought up her children.

B．How she became a successful teacher.

C．How her daughters gave her a new career.

D．How her daughters made her a great mother.

29、Shanghai Xintiandi Style Mall is filled with a festive mood, featuring large-scale equipment, knit works and various activities, under the theme "kiss".

"Kissing is seldom taken as the theme of artworks because in oriental (东方的) culture, people restrain themselves from expressing their emotions," says Jiang Shan, who is in charge of the exhibition.

"Through the exhibition, we hope to encourage people to be confident and brave in expressing their love."

Inside the mall, which covers a large area from Zizhong Lu (Road) to Fuxingnan Lu (Road), dozens of colorful decorations, including balloons, lollipops and lip-shaped decorations are hung on the walls and from the ceiling.

Among the decorations, a bright-colored wool artwork attracts most eyeballs and brings about a feeling of warmth.

The designer, Gu Yeli, says the art piece, Kiss Forest, was inspired by US artist Andy Warhol’s 1963 experimental film Kiss, which featured various couples kissing for three and a half minutes each. Gu also organizes a small workshop to teach knitting (编织) to children.

Artist Wang Xuejun sets up a stainless-steel mirror at the mall's gate leading to Zizhong Lu. Visitors, including men, are invited to put on lipstick and kiss the mirror, thus kissing themselves.

The Beast Floral Shop, a flower shop in Shanghai, contributes two walls of flowers that are made into the shape of a book, named Kiss Book. Artifacts (手工艺品) of bees and butterflies are fixed among the blossoms, kissing the flowers. The work represents love and harmony in nature.

Architect Ma Ke creates a Kiss Bridge with transparent (透明的) acrylic boards and ceramic（陶瓷的）fishbowls. Bridges are often spots for dating lovers in traditional Chinese folk stories and the goldfish in the bowls are witnesses of the lovers' kisses.

In the south plaza, an 18-meter-high interactive tree-shaped light equipment encourages people to kiss. Each kiss turns a certain light on, reminding audiences of their sweet childhood memories of kisses.

At the side of the tree is a counter, in which each kiss is counted and represents a donation to charity organizations.

A. It tells people how important kisses are to life.

B. It introduces an exhibition under the theme "kiss".

C. It describes what Shanghai Xintiandi Style Mall looks like.

D. It introduces various activities in Shanghai Xintiandi Style Mall.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. people encourage themselves to express their emotions.

B. people teach themselves to express their emotions.

C. people discourage themselves from expressing their emotions.

D. people learn a lot from expressing their emotions.

【3】What can we learn from the article?

A. Most people are interested in Jiang Shan's art piece, which brings about a feeling of warmth.

B. Most visitors will kiss each other in front of the stainless-steel mirror at the gate.

C. All the decorations in the mall are aimed at encouraging lovers to express their love bravely.

D. The 18-meter-high interactive tree-shaped light equipment will be on for each kiss.

31、Giving the missing words with the help of the letters given

Children have their own rules in playing games. They s【1】 need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that d【2】 a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compare. They also enjoyed games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.

Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game exciting, and they often feel p【3】 at why their kids play such simple game again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give o【4】, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.

It appears to us that when children play a game they can i【5】 a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
