25、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.
26、Why do you study? Many students would simply reply: "To get good result in the college entrance examination (高考)." For several years, many have spoken out against the exams. Some say they have turned children into studying machines. Others think that one exam cannot possibly demonstrate a student's true level of knowledge. So, should the exams be canceled?
Minister of Education Yuan Guiren doesn't think so. "Officials and the rich might take advantage(受益) if the college entrance examination were called off(取消). And life would be more difficult for poor children. However, we do need to change the exams," Yuan said on March 7. He has put an exam reforms at the center of his fourth year in office. "I think the exam is a fair way to choose talented people. But it should pay more attention to all-around(全面的) personal qualities, not just grades," said Cui Shangyu, a Senior 3 student in Sichuan. The college entrance examination was restored(恢复) in 1977. From then to 2007, 46.85 million people have entered higher education through the exam. According to survey by the Ministry of Education, 90 percent of people who participate(参加) believed the college entrance examination could in some way change a person's life, especially for poor students in the countryside. The college entrance examination is not the only way to become a successful person. However, the process of preparing for the exam is a good experience, said Shen Hui, a Math teacher at Gaoyou Middle School in Jiangsu.
"Through it students can learn many things, such as how to deal with stress(压力) and how to arrange a learning plan." Shen said.
【1】What does “demonstrate” mean in the first paragraph?
A. 隐瞒 B. 证明 C. 提高 D. 揭露

27、 Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles and some other special outdoor working places has been banned(禁止)in China since January 2011.Let’s look at the following advantages of banning smoking.
First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive(被动)smokers. When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe in the smoke and suffer from the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled.
Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.
Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them easily. Thus the number of teen smokers will increase. Also asthma(哮喘)and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.
Looking from the economic point of view, smoking should be banned to increase work productivity(生产率).Employees(雇员)who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of hours they put in their work is smaller.
If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse.
【1】 ________doesn’t belong to a non-smoking place.
A.A field B.A hospital
C.A library D.A restaurant
【2】The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us ______.
A. banning smoking is good for restaurants
B. banning smoking is good for non-smokers
C. banning smoking is good for spread of diseases
D. banning smoking is good for active smokers and passive smokers
【3】 How many advantages of banning smoking are mentioned in this passage?
A. Two. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
【4】According to the text, the underlined word “adolescents” means ______.
A. men B. women
C. adults D. teenagers
【5】 Which of the following statements in NOT true?
A. If smoking is banned, work productivity will increase.
B. If smoking is banned, the number of teen smokers will be larger.
C. If smoking is banned, it will make the environment become better.
D. If smoking is banned, smokers will learn how to live without smoking.
