AJoanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5：30．and at 6：30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club．At last，the trafficwas moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped（绊）over Sheba.“Hey，Sheba，”she said，“I've got no time for you now，but I'll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club．”Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking (噎).Obviously，she could hardly breathe．Immediately．Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet（兽医）. When she got there，the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office.“Listen, doctor，I'm really in a rush to get to a meeting. Can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? I'll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I'll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”“Sure. ”said the doctorJoanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway (门厅），the phone by the door began to ring.“This is Dr．Sterne, ”said an anxious voice. “I want you to get out of that house immediately，”said the doctor's voice．“I'm coming round right away，and the police will be there any time now．Wait outside!”At that moment，a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.“Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?” shouted Joanne.“She’s fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she’s OK now.”Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house，half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk, There was blood all over him.“My God，”said Joanne，“How did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”“I think he must be a burglar（thief）.”said the doctor. “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat：it turned out to be three human fingers”26.

Psychologists say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events. One is alcohol. Many fans drink a lot at games. When people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things. Psychologist Dennis Brock says, “Quiet people become loud. Normally nonviolent people become destructive.”David Sampson, a sports sociologist, says, “These are often celebratory riots ——a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol. They don’t often seem dangerous in the beginning, but things get violent quickly.”Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd. When individuals are in a large group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility. Edward Hirt, a social psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone. People in crowds feel anonymous (匿名的)—— no one knows who they are. Crowds also make people feel powerful. They stop making personal decisions. They justfollow the crowd. Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality.”Dave Zarifis, head of public safety says, “Some people don’t even come to celebrate. They want to drink hard and make trouble. Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there. You get a mob mentality. People think it’s OK to do almost anything. They think,‘There are so many of us and not enough of them.’”Social psychologist Dr. Sharon Kennedy says that there are some things officials can do to prevent violence. Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is veryimportant. Officials should also think of games as “big parties.” Then they will prepare differently. Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums. “When you know someone is watching, you are much less likely to behave badly.”31．Which of the following best gives the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A.

Never follow blindly no matter how many people are doing something.D. Be careful when you are at a stadium because there are cameras there.CHave you ever heard a news reporter talk about DNA? Reporters talk about DNA found at the scene of a crime. They talk about police finding DNA “fingerprints.” Police sometimes use DNA as a clue to find out who committed the crime.DNA is a substance that makes up genes. Everything alive has genes．Plants have genes．Animals have genes. You have genes.Genes are the basic units of heredity（遗传）Heredity means all the characteristics you inherit from your parents. You get your genes from your parents. You inherit half of your genes from your mother. You inherit half of your genes from your father.Genes are a kind of code．A tree’s genes tell what shape its leaves will be．A cat’s genes tell what color its fur will be. Your genes tell what color your eyes will be. Your genes tell what color your hair will be. Everything about you comes from the code in your genes.Genes line up on strands（链）called chromosomes（染色体）in cells. Everything alive is made up of cells. Chromosomes are in the center, or nucleus, of cells.Different parts of you are made of different kinds of cells. Your muscles are made of muscle cells. Your skin is made of skin cells．The code in your genes tells your body to make different kinds of cells. The genes in each cell tell the cell how to work. They tell the cell when to make new copies of itself.An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel first saw inherited patterns in pea plants．He experimented with pea plants in the 1860s．One of the things, or traits（特质）, Mendel studied was what makes some pea plants tall and some short．He said that the traits must come from units of heredity passed from the parent plants. These units were later called genes.In the mid-1900s, scientists discovered that genes are made of DNA. In the 1970s, scientists learned how to change DNA with genetic engineering. Scientists also learned that problems with certain genes cause diseases. Muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia are some genetic diseases-diseases caused by problems in genes. Today, scientists are looking for ways to cure genetic diseases by changing genes through a process called gene therapy.36. What is DNA?A. DNA is a kind of gene.B. DNA is a substance that makes up genes．C. DNA is the basic unit of heredity.D. DNA is a measure to protect crime.37. Which of the following about genes is correct according to the passage?A. Plants, animals and human beings have the same genes.B. Half people inherit all genes from their mother, others from their father.C. Genes decide the trees shapes, the cats’ fur color and our eyes’ color aswell．D. Genes will give you a code when you need them.38. Where are genes?A. Genes lining up on strands called chromosomes are in the center of cells.B. Genes hide in everything alive in your body.C. Genes can be nowhere but in your mind, controlling all your actions.D. Genes travel in your body and help cope skin, muscle, and eyes.39. An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel .A. first saw inherited patterns in peopleB. was interested in why plants were differentC. first called the units of heredity from parents genesD. was the first who discovered genes40. We can conclude that .A. scientists were less intelligent than monks in 1900sB. some genes are bad and can cause diseasesC. we don’t need to worry about genetic diseases any longerD. the discovery of genes may be of great help in our daily life第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面某杂志的专题报道摘要（A、B、C、D、E和F），选出适合他们研究的最佳案例，并写在答题纸上相应选项的标号位置。
