ADrinking too much alcohol（酒，酒精）seems to give pleasure to many people. Habit alone can keep people drinking. However, many heavy drinkers can offer some other reasons for their actions.Right now doctors are getting some attention in their protests against heavy drinking. Many people have cut down on their drinking. In general, everyone believes the doctors' warnings.It is sometimes very easy to stop drinking heavily. For example, at a party a man has just one drink. He can stop thinking about having another one. Both health considerations(考虑) and the high cost of drinking help him to stay away from alcohol. All of his friends help, too. They always understand his problem and are really concerned（关注）. The heavy drinker needs friends like these.21．Drinking too much alcohol ________.A．seems to give pleasure to many people B．is a habitC．is reasonable D．will do good to people22．A heavy drinker _________A．believes the doctors' warnings B．has no reasons for drinking C．needs friends to help him stop drinking heavily D．can't stay away from alcohol 23．The best title for the passage is ________A．Alcohol B．No Drinking C．A Heavy Drinker D．Give It UpBMost of us know about the Nobel Prize, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, but few of us know anything about the man who set them up. His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives（炸药）. His companies even made and sold weapons（武器）. Isn’t this something that surprises you? The man who made money from weapons should set up the Peace Prize?Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he left behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund. He wanted the interest（利息）from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from.Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the benefits of mankind. He made money all by his own efforts, but he left the world share his wealth. His inventions and wealth stay with the world for ever.24.

Rowling was born in Bristol on July 31st, 1965. She has one sister who is two years younger than her. Both girls loved listening to their father reading bedtime stories to them. They especially loved stories about magical worlds. Rowling wrote her first story, called Rabbit, at the age of six.After she graduated from the university, Rowling worked as a translator(翻译者)in London. During this time, on a long train trip in the summer of 1990, the idea came to her of a boy who has magic but doesn’t know it. In 1992 Rowling began to teach English. She lived with her baby daughter, Jessica, and spent much time finishing the first Harry Potter book for young readers. It appeared in June 1997. To her surprise, the book was greatly successful. The film came out in November 2001. Now Harry Potter series(系列) is popular with people of all ages and about 60 million books were sold in 200 countries.Why has the series been so successful? There are a few things. Many other magical stories take place in faraway lands or in past or future times. But Harry lives in modern(现代的) England. He’s also a very normal(平常的) boy:polite, friendly, brave and clever. So when other children read about Harry, they can imagine being like him.J.K. Rowling is very happy with the success, and she is now busy finishing the whole series of seven books. She’s writing full time and she’s really enjoying life. She says she will go on living a normal life with her daughter and writing children’s books.28. From the passage, we know ___________.A. J.K. Rowling met a boy named Harry on a long train tripB. J.K. Rowling loved listening to stories when she was very youngC. J.K. Rowling is two years younger than her sisterD. Harry Potter is J.K. Rowling’s first story29.

Rowling has been successful, and she ___________.A. likes to travel all over the world with her daughterB. is too busy to enjoy her lifeC. is excited about her success every dayD. is still writing stories for children31. How is Harry Potter series different from other magical stories?A. There are magical things.B. The stories happened in the modern world.C. It has seven books.D. It took much time to finish.DAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.32. Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph 1?A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.C. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.D. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.33. It is suggested in this passage that_______.A. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be inintelligenceB. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceC. close relation usually have similar intelligenceD. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees ofintelligence34. The phrase “at random”(Line3, para.2) means _______ .A. purposelyB. frequentlyC. independentlyD. aimlessly35. The best title for this article would be_______.A. On IntelligenceB. What Dose Intelligence Mean ?C. We Are Born with IntelligenceD. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
