Only my first job, I worked as a sports editor （编辑）for a small newspaper. I never 21 a letter from my readers, so I was 22 that there was an envelope on my desk one morning. After I read it, I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.When I opened it, I found a note and it 23 , “You did a good job. Go on!” The note was by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand （新手）, his words made me excited. After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I doubted 24 I had the ability to be a good editor, I would read John’s note and became confident again.Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to 25 young people in many fields. “26 I make others feel happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.” However, why are there few note writers like John in our life? 27 my opinion, many people are afraid that they cannot be well understood.

They find other criminals by using science and their computers. When there is a bank robbery （抢劫）, the police first look through their computers for the names of the bank robbers that they know about. Then they go and talk to any of these robbers who are not in prison （监狱）. They ask them where they were when the robbery happened. If any of these people cannot give a good answer, the police will often use science to find out if one of them is the robber.Many criminals leave something of themselves at the places of the crimes like a fingerprint or a hair. Or they take something away on their shoes or clothes, like dirt or animal hair. If they leave behind some of their blood or their hair or a piece of skin, it will have their DNA inside it.Everyone’s DNA is diff erent and their fingerprints （指纹）are also different. So, if a criminal cuts himself during a robbery or leaves his hair, or even a small piece of skin, scientists can find out what his DNA is. The police can then ask the person they think is the robber to give them his hair or some blood and see if it has the same DNA. Many criminals are in prison today because of this kind of evidences （证据）.( ) 41. Usually the police find criminals because they use their computer.( ) 42. The police do not usually ask criminals who are in prison about a crime because these criminals could not have done it.( ) 43. The most useful evidences that criminals leave at the places of their crimes are things with their DNA in them.( ) 44.

The story is about a bank robbery.第二节：阅读下面B、C、D三篇文章，从各小题所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的一个最佳答案（共10小题，计15分）(B)A Bite of China（舌尖上的中国）has become a hot topic on the Internet in China. It is a seven-episode （集）program. It is about traditional Chinese food.The documentary has attracted over 100,000,000 Chinese audiences （观众）. Most of them don’t see this program as a common food show, because it shows them the value of Chinese food and the changes in China today. The audiences can see how hard the cooks and farmers work to make such wonderful Chinese food.Chen Xiaoqing, the lead director of the program, says that the program is not only about eating, but also about Chinese culture. His friend Liu Wen said, “We also wanted to show international audiences what China is like today.”“A Bite of China will be out of English version （版本）,” said Chen Xiaoqing. “We should be thankful to the people who make so much delicious food.” added a reporter Wang Lu.( ) 46.

In other words, they have more chan ces to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a shor t time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need be taught in detail （详细地）, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.( ) 49. People with little education usually ______.A. spend a long time in schoolB. have a good chance to get a jobC. spend the best years choosing jobsD. have fewer chances to get a good job( ) 50. The earliest education was probably to ______.A. make a man lead a better lifeB. teach a man to write and thinkC. make people get a way of livingD. teach people to read good books( ) 51. It is expected that educated people will be able to ______.A. accept education as a way of livingB. take an interest in the whole worldC. develop their abilities to make playsD. learn subjects like language and math( ) 52. The passage mainly tells us that ______.A. education should make a man improveB. people can get education in a short timeC. people should be able to get better paying jobsD. all subjects are so important for a way of living(D)Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence （智力）and feelings.In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states （州）have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ （智商）of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.Low air pressure （气压）may make people forgetful （健忘）. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.Are you feelin g sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.( ) 53. What can cause problems on health?A. Hot and wet weather.B. A strong wind.C. Warm weather.D. Low air pressure.( ) 54. According to the writer, fat people may feel bad in ______ weather.A. coldB. coolC. warmD. hot( ) 55. Which is the best title （标题）for this passage?A. Hot Weather Causes Health Problems.B. Different Weather Makes People Feel Bad.C. Weather Influences Feelings.D. Weather Influences Health, Intelligence and Feeling.第二卷（共55分）V.完成句子。
