24、What makes us who we are? This question has two typical answers. One is the environment around us when we grow up, and the other is our genes (基因). In English, this is called the “nature versus nurture (环境因素) debate”. Nature means genes, whereas nurture means environment, including the people around you.

There is a famous saying: “Give me a child until the age of 7 and I’ll show you the man.” The meaning is that the environment in the early part of our life has the biggest effect on our adult life. Now, there is scientific research to support this famous saying.

Scientists at the universities of Exeter, UK and Hamburg, Germany did studies on birds. They found that their personalities (性格) were affected most by the birds around them when they grew up—more so than genes. They watched small birds in new environments, and wrote down how much they explored. Birds that grew up with very curious birds were more curious themselves.

Nick Royle from the University of Exeter in the UK said the research was surprising because it shows that “for these birds, personality is mainly decided by environment”. However, human personalities are a lot more complicated, so there is much we still don’t know. The nature versus nurture debate will continue for a long time, if not forever.

【1】What does the saying in the second paragraph tell people?

A．Seven-year-old children don’t know much.

B．The nurturing period plays a big part in one’s life.

C．How to raise a child in a good way.

D．Nature makes us who we are.

【2】According to the studies on birds, we know that ________.

A．curious birds were smarter than incurious ones

B．genes were as important as environments to birds

C．birds’ personalities were affected most by their peers

D．birds’ personalities were affected most by genes

【3】What does the underlined word “complicated” in the last paragraph mean?

A．复杂的

B．类似的

C．重要的

D．有趣的

【4】What does the story mainly talk about?

A．How the environment, not genes might shape one’s life.

B．The personalities of humans.

C．The personalities of birds.

D．Scientific research done on birds.

25、   25 years ago, Robert, a single parent with a one-year-old son saw a terrible accident which took place when the driver of a truck(卡车) ran a red light and knocked into the car of Sandra. Sandra was killed in the accident. But her three-month-old daughter named Karen was left in the burning car. While others looked on in fear, Robert jumped out of his car and crawled(爬行) into the car to try to save the little girl. Seconds later, to everyone’s surprise, Robert pulled the baby to safety. While the baby was all right, Robert was seriously injured. Two days later he died. But his heroic(英勇的) act was published(公布) in the media(媒体). His son was soon adopted(收养) by relatives.

Over twenty years later, both the little girl and the man’s son grew up. One day Karen and her boyfriend Michael were looking through some old boxes when they found some old newspaper. “This is me when I was a new-born baby. I was saved from a burning car. But my mother died in the accident,” explained Karen. Although Michael knew Karen’s mother died years ago, he never fully knew the conditions until he read the newspaper article. To Karen’s surprise, Michael was interested in the details(细节) of the accident. And he began to cry. Then he knew that the man that had pulled Karen from the fire was the father he never knew. They both hugged with tears in their eyes.

【2】Sandra was killed in the accident, but her daughter was saved.

【3】Robert’s friends adopted his son.

【4】Michael didn’t know the details of the accident at first.

26、“Don’t forget to study for the history test on Friday,” Mrs. Beville told the class.

That night, Julie opened her textbook and read it several times. It was difficult for her to learn all the facts and dates.

“Need some help?” asked her older brother, Eric.

Julie handed him her textbook. “Test me.”

Eric took the book and read the questions, but Julie shook her head.

The following day, she decided to use library time to study. With her textbook open in front of her, she tried to make sense of all the facts and dates. But it was useless.

She lowered her head and hid her face in the pages of the book. “Impossible!”

“Julie!”

Julie looked up. Maria, from her class, was seated at a nearby table.

“Want to study together?”   Maria asked.

Julie picked up her things and joined Maria, who was sitting with some cards and colored pencils in front of her. On each card was a colorful painting.

Julie looked confused. “I thought you were studying history.”

“This is how I study,” Maria said. “I like art, and the pictures help me recall facts. Sometimes memorization isn’t enough, and I have to get creative.”

“I see,” said Julie, with interest.

“But right now, I’m having trouble answering this question.” She pointed to a line she’d written on the front of a card. What would you call someone who lives in Flanders?

After looking up the answer “Fleming”, Julie had a thought. “If Maria could use her artistic skills to study, then why couldn’t I use my own love of poems and wordplay?”

Julie said aloud, “See the flamingo home to Flanders!”

Maria was looking at her. “What does a flamingo have to do with it?” She stopped for a moment. “See the flamingo home...See the Fleming go home to Flanders. Yes! A Fleming lives in Flanders. Perfect! This is a clever use of words.”

Maria used a pink pencil to draw a flamingo on the back of the card. “Hey, that was pretty cool.”

“Thanks.” Julie smiled.

“Hey, want to be study partners?” asked Maria.

“Certainly,” said Julie. Suddenly, studying didn’t seem so impossible after all.

【1】When Julie studied alone in the library, she felt learning history was ________.

A．interesting

B．hard

D．She asked her brother for help.

【3】From the experience, Julie learned about ________.

A．the goal of learning

27、Jay Kohl， an American student， posted an online advertisement two weeks ago searching for a Chinese family to stay with so that he can learn the language and culture.

  "I'm a clean， non-smoking， and warm-hearted American man looking for a homestay in the Wudaokou area to improve my Chinese language skills，” he wrote. "I'm willing to offer help with English tutoring(家教)and even can help you with applying for foreign universities.”

28、I used to have many difficulties in learning English, 【1】 I tried to overcome them and had made much progress.

The spelling of words and the meaning of them were 【2】 first difficulties I met, but I have found my own ways to deal 【3】 them. As for spelling, I never write a new word again and again to remember it, but I try to practice its pronunciation. As for the meaning, I hardly ever recite（背诵）a word’s Chinese meaning, but I put it into a sentence to learn its meaning. So, if you use a word quite often, its spelling and meaning won’t 【4】 difficult. After all, to learn English is to use it.

Grammar may be another difficulty. But I 【5】 also dealt with it. I haven’t read lots of grammar books, but I often spend much time reading the articles written by native speakers. By doing so, I have got a good sense of the English language.
