11、）Squatting down on my disorganized closet floor, I looked eagerly through my albums for the picture of my grandmas Christmas lights. I searched so long and so eagerly that I lost all feeling in the legs. Ignoring the pain, I went on with my search, because finding the picture was worth it.My beloved

12、 grandma on my dads side, who passed away almost four years ago, would decorate the Christmas trees like it was her job. Each year she would decorate an ornate, 12-foot-tall, shining tree in her living room, and most years she would have an additional pink tree, palm tree, colored- light tree, white

13、-light tree, bedroom tree, etc. The ideas varied year after year, but the theme was always the same: Let There Be Light.For the outside of the house, my grandma hired people to come and string thousands of lights through the trees in her yard. It wasnt easy, and it wasnt cheap, but it was a labor of

14、 love. People in the small town came and parked their kid-packed cars on the street, gazing at the thousands upon thousands of shining lights year after year. They brought us magic, which was grandmas legacy. That is the family act I am supposed to follow for the rest of my life. Its what Im dying t

15、o recreate and pass on to my own kids. I feel so much pressure because no one is capable of doing itand of doing it correctlybut me.So, its me and only me, each year unfastening countless strings of lights, winding them round a 10-foot, prickly tree, and sending the lights to the highest branches. T

16、hough Im only ever just scratching the surface of grandmas magic, I uncover a little more each year. I still havent found that picture of my grandmas Christmas lights, but I know it exists, and I will find it, even if it means losing all feeling in my legs.1、Why did the author suffer from pain?ABeca

17、use she was missing her beloved grandma.BBecause she had trouble finding grandmas lights.CBecause she kept an uncomfortable gesture for long.DBecause she broke her legs while searching for something.2、What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?AGrandmas Christmas trees.

DIt is too costly to do it.22（8分）Natural selection is the process by which one type of animal within a species thrives because of certain characteristics that make it more likely to live than others in its group. The histo

20、ry of the peppered moth(灰蛾) is an example of the natural selection process.In 19th century England, certain types of peppered moths were able to better blend（融合）into their surroundings. During that time period, great changes were happening in Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution was part of this

21、 change, and with it came air pollution. Natural selection often takes hundred or even thousands of years to occur. For the peppered moth, this process occurred comparatively quickly.At the beginning of the Industrial Age, most peppered moths in England were light-colored and covered with black mark

22、ings, although a few moths had dark-colored wings. Because the light-colored moths blended into the light-colored bark on the trees, they could not be easily seen by birds that would eat them. As the air grew more polluted, however, tree trunks became covered with soot(煙煤) and became darker. The lig

23、ht-colored moths became easy for birds to see against the dark tree trunks. Since the dark-colored moths now had the advantage, their numbers grew. Within 50 years, the peppered moth went from being mostly light-colored to being mostly dark-colored.In the 20th century, the air cleared up, and the pe

24、ppered moth population changed again. As tree trunks lighted due to less soot in the air, light-colored moths once again had an advantage. Their numbers increased as soot levels declined. Depending on their environment, the coloration of the moths helped them to be “naturally selected” to survive.1、

25、Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “thrives” in the first paragraph?AReduces. BBooms.CChanges. DEndangers.2、What can we infer about the peppered moths natural selection process?AThe length of time was unusual.BThe soot levels in England did not affect it.CThis type

26、 of color change was typical for moths.DIt was a good example of environmental protection.3、Whats the difference between light-colored and dark-colored moths?ADark-colored moths were originally easy to see on trees.BBoth kinds of moths preferred the dark-colored trees.CBirds failed to see light-colo

27、red moths.DThe color of moths was unimportant.4、Which would most likely happen if soot darkened Englands trees again?ABirds would eat fewer moths.BMoths would not be able to stay alive.CLight-colored moths would disturb peoples life.DThe population of dark-colored moths would increase.23（8分）A bite f

28、rom a tsetse fly is an extremely unpleasant experience. To make matters worse, several species of tsetse fly can transmit diseases. One of the most dangerous is a parasite(寄生蟲) that causes sleeping sickness.After the initial bite, sleeping sickness symptoms often start with a fever, headaches and ac

29、hing muscles. As the illness goes on, those infected become increasingly tired, which is where it gets its name.It is worth noting that sleeping sickness is no longer as deadly as it once was. In the early 20th Century several hundred thousand people were infected each year. By the 1960s the disease

30、 was considered under control and had reached very low numbers, making its spread more difficult. But in the 1970s there was another major infection, which took 20 years to control. Since then, better screening programs and earlier treatments have reduced the number of cases dramatically. In 2000 th

31、is figure dropped to fewer than 3,000. The World Health Organization (WHO) hopes the disease will be completely removed by 2020. More problematically, a series of new studies have shown that the parasite is more complicated than previously believed.Sleeping sickness has always been consideredand ana

32、lyzedas a blood disease, because the parasites can readily be discovered in the blood of its victims. However, in a recent study found that the parasite can stay in the skin and fat, as well as in the blood. There may even be a higher density（密度）of the parasite in the skin than in the blood. That me

33、ans a person can have no symptoms but still both harbor the disease and spread it. The finding could explain the mysterious 1970s infection, and why the disease can spring up in areas that had previously been cleared.1、Whats the danger of a tsetse fly bite?AIt makes people sleepy. BIt causes skin di

34、sease.CIt brings about deaths. DIt transmits deadly parasites.2、What can we infer about sleeping sickness from Paragraph 3?AIts still a threat to human health.BIts not that dangerous at present.CIts incurable in the early 20th century.DIts completely under control in the 1960s.3、What does the underl

35、ined harbor most probably mean?Acarry Bresist Cexchange Dhide4、What does the latest research indicate according to the passage?ASleeping sickness is a blood disease.BSkin is more suitable for the parasite to grow.CSleeping sickness can be spread with no signs.DParasites in the skin caused the 1970s

Yet doctors in th

44、e United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life. Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other

45、 caregivers. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings. One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was bor

46、n, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different s

47、tory. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. Researchers studi

48、ed the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their childrens activities and did not interfere(干預) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language

49、development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression. The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skill

50、s and understanding what they hear.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring,

51、 even when they suffered from depression.1、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?AThe environment. BTheir peersCMothers sensitivity DEducation before birth2、What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies h

52、eard the stories?ATo prove that babies can learn on the first day they are bornBTo show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babiesCTo indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies language skillsDTo prove that babies can learn before they are born3、Which group

53、 of children did the worst in tests of language skills?AThe children of women who did not suffer from depressionBThe children of depressed but caring mothersCThe children of depressed mothers who cared little for their childrenDChildren with high communication abilities4、What is the main idea of the
