But the cashiersaid she couldn’t afford it right now.As we left the store, I told my friend I was going to buy one for the cashier. She agreed, and offered to pay for half.

When you meet a male（男性）friend who uses a pink lighter or wears a pink shirt, will you think of the word ―feminine(女性化)‖? Once one of my classmates came to my house. He came in and kept staring at my room, confused. Then he commented, ―Your room loo ks like a candy shop, and it reminds me of my sister’s dollhouse!‖ I did not know how to react him. Yes! The room was pink, everywhere. The curtains, the doormat, the cupboard, the dustbin and lots of my things were pink. I did not do it consciously（有意识地）. I just pick out the pretty things from the store. Why do most girls like only pink?According to scientists, the simple explanation why girls like pink so much is that in the past, the role of a woman was a food gatherer and berries were the main food for humans. Fruits, especially berries, mostly had purplish, reddish or pinkish colors that standed for ripeness(成熟). Scientists thought that women developed a better color vision than men to spot（挑出）fruits in a thick and green forest by becoming hard-wired to pick out red and pink over centuries.Also, women easily express their emotions. When a woman feels ashamed or shy, her cheeks appear flushed(脸发红) with blood and her skin become red. Since women have basically been nurturers, they are sensitive to all shades of pink and red. For a long time, the color pink has been associated with beauty and women.28.What made the author’s classmate confused?A. The color of things in her room.B. The furniture in her roomC. Too many dolls in her roomD. Too many candies in her room29.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. The author’s room was in a messB. The author liked things in pink onlyC.

To tell reader a storyB. To state her own experienceC. To explain why women like pinkD. To introduce a way to pick out fruits.DOne in five children sleepwalks(梦游) regularly and at least 40% have done it at least once. As we get older it becomes rarer, but 1-2.5% of adults still do it.One piece of advice about sleepwalking which many may have heard is that it is dangerous to wake a sleepwalker, and that waking them up will harm them.During the night we experience various stage of sleep, beginning with a period of light sleep which we also called Rapid Eye Movement(REM). REM deepens considerably within 20 minutes or so, and then becomes a bit lighter again. This cycle（循环）then repeats several times throughout the night.The time when you are most likely to dream is during REM sleep. During this stage you often try to prevent yourself from acting out your dreams, but sleepwalking takes place during the much deeper sleep. It is a curious state. The brain is active enough for you to move, but not so active that you wake up. A recent study made in Niguarda Hospital in Milan, Italy examined the brain waves of people who were used to sleepwalking and found that some parts of the brain are awake, while others are sound asleep. The result suggested sleepwalking is caused by an imbalance between these two states.So what should you do if you find your relatives sleepwalking?For a start, they are in such a deep sleep that they will probably not notice you, even if you try to wake them. Waking a sleepwalker will not cause them to have a heart attack, but the kindest things to do is try not to wake them at all. Lead them gently back to the bed so that they do not hurt themselves. They will remain deeply asleep, and it is likely that they will not remember a thing in the morning.32.Which kind of the following people are least likely to sleepwalk?A. ChildrenB. Young peopleC. studentsD. people in their fifties.33.According to the passage, REM ________.A. is a kind of deep sleepB. is caused by sleepwalkingC. lasts about 20 minutesD. is the first stage of sleep34.If your little brother is sleepwalking, which of the following is the most suitable method you can take?A. To try to wake them upB. To guide him into the bedroomC. To tell him this next morningD. To persuade him to go to sleep35. Where does this passage probably come from?A. Science storyB. A science reportC. An advertisementD. Children’s story 第二节（共5小题，每小题2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。
