Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank.The idea that some groups of people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name. But Gregory Cochran is 11 to say it anyway. He is that 12 bird, a scientist who works independently 13 any institution. He helped popularize the idea that some diseases not 14 thought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections, which aroused much controversy when it was first suggested.15 he, however, might tremble at the 16 of what he is about to do. Together with another two scientists, he is publishing a paper which not only 17 that one group of humanity is more intelligent than the others, but explains the process that has brought this about. The group in 18 are a particular people originated from central Europe. The process is natural selection.This group generally do well in IQ test, 19 12-15 points above the 20 value of 100, and have contributed 21 to the intellectual and cultural life of the West, as the 22 of their elites, including several world-renowned scientists, 23 . They also suffer more often than most people from a number of nasty genetic diseases, such as breast cancer. These facts, 24 , have previously been thought unrelated. The former has been 25 to social effects, such as a strong tradition of 26 education. The latter was seen as a (an) 27 of genetic isolation. Dr. Cochran suggests that the intelligence and diseases are intimately 28 . His argument is that the unusual history of these people has 29 them to unique evolutionary pressures that have resulted in this 30 state of affairs.11.

Answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D.AY ou must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.What if you say it first and your partner doesn‟t love you back? Or if they do say it, but you don‟t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be never racking(紧张）and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn‟t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast?A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal," says psychologist Sidney Crown. "But love is seldom equal." All relationships go through of ...I‟ve always loved you more‟may be subverted(颠覆，破坏) for a time, but it power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. "That feeling ever goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵). " In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. "The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings," says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. "The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ...I love you‟ first may also be the one who says ...I‟m bored with you‟ first. " Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it. "Is it said when they‟re drunk? Is it said. before their partner files off on holiday, and what it really means is ...Please don‟t be unfaithful to me‟? By saying (I)love you‟, they really saying‟Do you love me?‟If so, wouldn‟t it just be more honest to say mat. Collins agrees that intention is everything. "It‟s not what is said, but how it‟s said. What it comes down to is th e sincerity of the speaker.”31. What is the main idea of this passage?[ A ] The importance of "I love you"[ B ] The meaning of "I love you"[ C ] The time of saying "I love you".[ D ] The place of saying. "I love you"32. In the first sentence the author means that[ A ] it is easy to say "I love you"[ B ] we have many troubles in our life[ C ] it is hard to say "I love you"[ D ] people usually do not know when to say "I love you"33. According to the expert, a good relationship should be[ A ] fair and kind[ B ] fair and equal[ C ] powerful and fair[ D] confident and equal34. In the third paragraph, the phrase "with the upper hand" means[ A ] being only one hand[ B ] having low in spirit[ C ] being passive[ D ] being active35. What is the most important for you to consider when somebody say "I love you" to you?[ A ] The intention.[ B ] The. time.[ C ] The place[ D ] The determination.BFifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn‟t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there—moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a life- time of security if I stuck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss‟s of- rice. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. "Matt, we have to have a talk." I began awkwardly. "I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I‟m forty. There‟s a lot I want to do in life. I‟m re signing. ""To another paper?" he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn‟t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. "I‟m glad for you," he said, quite out of my expectation. "I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can‟t," he went on. "I wish you all the luck in the world," he concluded. "And if it doesn‟t work out, remember, your star is always high here."Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody--even though I‟d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property. "I‟m resigning, Bill," I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn‟t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said, "Golly, I wish I were in your shoes."36. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous[ A ] temple[ B ] church[ C ] newspaper[ D ] magazine37. If the writer stayed with the Globe[ A ] he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams[ B ] he would never have to worry about his future life[ C ] he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions[ D ] he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away38. The writer wanted to resign because[ A ] he had serious trouble with his boss[ B ] he got underpaid at his job for the Globe[ C ] he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry[ D ] he had found a better paid job in a publishing house39. When the writer decided to resign, the Globe was faced with[ A ] a trouble, with its staff members[ B ] an unfavorable business situation[ C ] a shortage of qualified reporters[ D ] an uncontrollable business situation40. By "I wish I were in your shoes. " ( in the last paragraph ), Bill Taylor meant that[ A ] the writer was to fail[ B ] the writer was stupid[ C ] he would do the same if possible[ D ] he would reject the writer’s requestCThere was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect”— conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world‟s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world‟s temperatur e is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New Y ork, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth‟s temperature — a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would mane agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible) Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world‟s temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?41. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution_______.[ A ] cause widespread damage in the countryside[ B ] affected the entire eastern half of the United States[ C ] existed merely in urban and industries areas[ D ] had damaged effect on health42. As to the greenhouse effect, the author________.[ A ] thinks that it will destroy the world soon.[ B ] is uncertain of its occurrence[ C ] rejects it as being ungrounded[ D ] share the same view with the scientist43. The word “offset”in the second paragraph could be replaced by .[ A] slip into [ B ] make up for[ C ] set up [ D ] catch up with44. It can be concluded that _______.[ A ] raising the world‟s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth.[ B ] lowering the world’s temperature merely a few degrees would lead major farming areas to disaster.[ C ] almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade.[ D ] the world’s temperature will remain constant in the years to come.45. This passage is primarily about .[ A ] the greenhouse effect.[ B ] the burning of fossil fuels..[ C ] the potential effect of air pollution.[ D ] the likelihood of a new ice age.Part BRead the text from a magazine article on "smileys". For questions 46 to 50, match the items on the left (46 to 50) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.All over the world these days, email messages are ending with these odd symbols: :-) or :-(. They are "smileys", so called because when you turn your head to the left they look like little faces with eyes and a nose. Thus when a message ends :-) it means "just kidding". If it ends :-( it means "I'm depressed."It was 20 years ago that Scott Fahlman taught the Net how to smile.The Carnegie Mellon computer scientist has devoted his professional life to artificial intelligence, the practice of teaching computers how to think like humans, but he is perhaps best known for his inspiration that helped to define Internet culture.By the early 1980's, the Computer Science community at Carnegie Mellon was making great use of online bulletin boards or "bbs". A good many of the posts are humorous. The problem was that if someone made a joke, a few readers would fail to get the joke. This problem caused some people to suggest (only half seriously) that maybe it would be a good idea to tell the readers that certain posts were not to be taken seriously. After all, when using text-based online communication, we lack the body language or tone-of-voice cues that convey this information when we talk in person or on the phone.So on Sept. 19, 1982, Fahlman typed :-) in an online message. "I had no idea I was starting something that would soon pollute the world's communications channels." This convention caught on quickly around Carnegie Mellon, and soon spread to other universities and research labs through the computer networks of the day. In the two decades since, the smiling symbols have become an important characteristic of online communication. And Fahlman's original smiley face sparked the creation of thousands of smiley face types.But Fahlman has never seen a cent from his creation. "If it cost people a cent to use it, nobodywould have used it. This is my little gift to the world, for better or worse," he said.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements46. smileys A. are ending with smiling symbols47. bbs B. mean “I‟m just kidding."48. Scott Fahlman C. originated in Carnegie Mellon49. email messages D. are allowed to use the smiling symbols with little charge50. the Net E. had its culture defined by a scientist's inspirationF. taught the Net how to smileG. were used greatly by the Computer Science communitySection IV WritingDirections：For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic College Graduates Work as Village Officials. Y ou should write at least 150 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below：1. 你是否认为大学生当村官是个好主意;2. 大学生能给乡村提供些什么;3. 大学生能从村官职位中获得什么。

From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and weekends they are free and 1 themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies, others take part in sports. This is decided by their own 2 .There are many different ways to spend our free time. Almost everyone has some kind of 3 . It may be something from colleting stamps to 4 model planes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don't cost anything at all. Some collections are worth 5 of money, others are valuable only to their owners.I know a man who has a coin collection worth several 6 dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty-cent piece which cost him ＄250! He was very happy about this collection and thought the price was all right. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects match boxes. He has almost 600 kinds of them, but I wonder 7 they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are quite valuable. 8 makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.That's what a hobby means, I think. It is something we 9 to do in our free time just for the fun of it.

(A)I was born in New York, but I grew up in San Francisco. I began to live in London 25 years ago. If I am asked now where I want to live forever, I would say London. But I will always be American.San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didn't go to school. I only had three hours of formal education when I was five.I was sent to school in the morning but came home at noon on the first day. I said I didn't enjoy it and hadn't learned anything. My parents thought that school was unsuitable for me. They agreed with me, so I never went back to school.Then my mother taught me and my two sisters at home, in the way of an English lady who had good education. We learned languages and reading more than sciences and maths. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers. They asked us to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park. While we were walking, my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I'd like to have it. I couldn't say "r" when I was small. My mother said if I could say an "r" well, I would have the toy train. I practiced and practiced. Then one morning I woke everybody up with my "r"s. I got the toy train. I usually get the things I want in life — but I work hard for them.根据短文内容, 指出能完成所给句子或回答所提问题的最佳答案。
