閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D 四個選項中,選出最佳選項,并在答題紙上將該項涂黑。
A
I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (貼標(biāo)簽) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “M Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

A. she was scared by Kate’s anger B. she hated herself for being so messy

Sarah came running in. “Look what I found.” Over the top of the paper I was reading came a crispy long object that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin that had been shed by one of our many garden snakes.
“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my wide-eyed seven-year-old.
I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really wasn’t that beautiful, but I have learned never to appear uninterested with children. They see only good quality and excellence in the world until educated otherwise.
“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.
“Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves,” I explained. “Why do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.
I suddenly remembered an article on this page many years ago where the writer was expressing her concept of renewal. She used layers of paper over a wall to describe how we hide our original selves, and said that by peeling away those layers one by one, we see the original beneath. “We often need to shed our skins and those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my now absorbed daughter. “We outgrow some things and find other ones unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too crinkly(起皺的)for him, and he probably doesn’t think he looks as smart in it as he once did.”
Sarah was getting the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand, although slightly, that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and creativity, and see what we need to keep and what we need to cast off. I was careful to point out that this is a natural consequence of their growth.
“I see, Dad,” said Sarah and jumped off my lap and ran off.
I hoped she would remember this. That often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture with which we cover ourselves year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless or unnecessary; or at best, store the ones thrown away as mementoes(念想)of our promotion to a better vitality or spirit.
32. At the first sight of the snake skin, the author was .
A. scared B. puzzled
C. uninterested D. excited
33. Sarah learned from her father that renewal is .
A. to recover the layers inside
B. to review what has been done
C. a natural part of getting mature
D. the process of finding the unwanted
34. It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________.
A. dislikes the snake skin at all
B. shows concern for nature and culture
C. can grasp the chance to educate children
D. often encourages his daughter to raise questions
35. The author mainly tells the reader that ________.
A. snakes cast off the layers to look smarter
B. we should renew ourselves to get improved
C. snakes shed their skins to renew themselves
D. we should explore our original nature underneath
D
Personality types are linked with structural differences in the brain, which could explain why one child grows up to be impulsive(沖動的)and outgoing while another becomes diligent and introspective.
Structural differences between the brains of 85 people have been measured and linked with the four main categories of personality types, which were classified as “novelty seeking”, characterized by impulsive actions; “harm avoidance”, marked by pessimism and shyness; “reward dependence”, with an addictive personality; and “persistence”, who are people tending to be diligent, hard-working and perfectionists.
The researchers said the brain differences are structural and can be measured in the size of specific regions of the brain that appear to be linked with each of the four personality types. For instance, people defined as novelty-seeking personalities had a structurally bigger area in the brain while people with harm-avoidance personalities had significantly smaller volumes of tissue in brain regions.
The fact that characteristics are reflected in specific structural differences is useful to know, for instance, when it comes to understanding a child’s behavior and choosing the right approach so that somebody who is, for example, particularly timid, might be helped through education and development.
There is no point shouting at a child who is very shy and telling them off, because it does not come naturally to them to put themselves forward. But actually knowing there is a biological basis for this helps educators or parents to use the right approach to help a child to compensate.
People who have a reward-dependence personality could, for example, be helped at an early age because they are at risk of turning to drink, drugs or food if they do not get the family support and encouragement they need.
“This study shows that personality characteristics are something you are born with, but their full expression can be adjusted during development with the right approach,” said Professor Venneri, who carried out the study with colleagues from the University of Parma in Italy and Washington University in St Louis.
If you know it’s not something you do but something you are, you can change the environment to reduce the risk. Knowing that someone has such a predisposition (體質(zhì)) could help them adopt preventive strategies and avoid situations where they might seek rewards which could be potentially harmful.
36. Which type of person may turn out to be drug-abusers?
A. “Novelty seeking”. B. “Persistence”.
C. “Harm avoidance”. D. “Reward dependence”.
37. Which of the following is true about shy people?
A. They structurally have a smaller brain region.
B. They can naturally put themselves forward.
C. They are too timid to be educated and helped.
D. They are often shouted at and scolded.
38. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. People have chances to change their personality types.
B. Structural differences in the brain have effects on education.
C. Personality types are related to structural differences in the brain.
D. Scientists have identified four different personality types.
39. The author writes the passage to________.
A. argue a claim B. present a fact
C. support a research D. introduce an approach
E
Nowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods ( GM foods). GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms (有機體), which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change. For many people, the high-tech production raises all kinds of environmental, ethical, health and safety problems. Particularly in countries with long farming traditions, the idea seems against nature.
In fact, GM foods are already very much a part of our lives. They were first put on the market in 1996. A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the U. S. last year was the product of biotechnology, according to the Department of Agriculture. More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year. The genetic genie is out of the bottle.
However like any new product entering the food chain, GM foods must be subjected to careful testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from, and a supply that goes beyond the needs. In developing countries desperate to feed fast-growing and underfed populations, the matter is simpler and much more urgent: do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks?
The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world's population reached 6 billion. The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the world are unhealthy. About 400 million women of childbearing age don' t have enough iron, which means their babies are exposed to various birth defeats.As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency, a leading cause of blindness.
How can biotech help? Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values. Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops. Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortages are caused by crop damage attributable to drought, poor soil and crop viruses.
40. The passage mainly talks about________.
A. the world's food problem
B. the development in biotech
C. the genetically modified foods
D. the way to solve food shortages
41. According to the passage, GM foods________.
A. will replace naturally grown foods
B. are far better than naturally grown foods
C. may help to solve the problem of poor nutrition
D. can cause serious trouble in developing countries
42. The underlined sentence “The genetic genie is out of the bottle.” in Paragraph 2 probably means that________.
A. GM foods are available everywhere
B. the technology in producing GM foods is advanced
C. genetic technology may have uncontrollable powers
D. genetic technology has come out of laboratories into markets
43. What's the writer's attitude towards GM foods?
A. Enthusiastic. B. Cautious.
C. Disapproving. D. Unbelievable.

【26題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.(突然,一種溫暖的同情之情在我心中升起。)”可知,在看到Kate接電話后的狀態(tài)后,一種溫暖的同情在作者的心中升起,于是她收拾起東西,由此推斷作者將東西收拾整齊應(yīng)是為了表達對Kate的關(guān)愛之情。故選C項。

We both got tired of each other.(我從來不講究整潔,而我的室友凱特卻非常有條理。她的每一件東西都有自己的位置,但我的總是藏在某個地方。她甚至給每樣?xùn)|西都貼上了標(biāo)簽。我一直在尋找一切。隨著時間的推移,凱特變得越來越整潔,而我變得越來越混亂。她會把我臟衣服推倒,我則會把我的書放在她整潔的桌子上。我們都厭倦了對方。)”可知,作者在第一段描述了與室友Kate在日常生活習(xí)慣上的種種差異,在論述過程中使用了“while”,“but”,“and”等連詞表達對比轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,因此可推知,作者在第一段使用了“比較不同”的方法而展開論述的。故選B項。
【28題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段“Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.(這一年剩下的時間里,Kate和我一直是室友。我們并不總是意見一致,但我們學(xué)會了共同生活的關(guān)鍵:讓步、清理、堅持。)”可知,文章主要圍繞如何與室友相處而展開的。選項D項Learning to Be Roommates(學(xué)會成為室友)揭示了文章主旨要義。故選D項。
