21、It is believed that human story begins in Africa and ends about 200,000 years later with their seven billion descendants (后代) spread across the Earth, living in peace or at war, their faces Jit by campfires and computer screens.
In between is an exciting tale of survival, movement, isolation, and conquest, most of it occurring before recorded history. Who were those first modem people in Africa? What routes did they take when they left their home continent 60,000 years ago to expand into Europe and Asia? When and how did humans reach the Americas? For decades, the only proof was found in a small number of scattered bones and artifacts (文物) that our ancestors left behind on their journeys. In the past 20 years, however, DNA technologies have allowed scientists to find a record of ancient human migrations in the DNA of living people.
“Every drop of human blood contains a history book written in the language of our genes,” says population geneticist Spencer Wells. The human genetic code, or genome (基因组), is 99.9 percent identical throughout the world. But while the bulk of our DNA is the same, what’s left is responsible for our individual differences — in eye color or disease risk, for example. On very rare occasions, a small change, called a mutation, can occur, which is then passed down to all of that person’s descendants. Generations later, finding that same mutation in two peopled DNA indicates that they share the same ancestor. By comparing mutations in many different populations, scientists can trace their ancestral connections.
These ancient mutations are easiest to track in two places: in DNA that is passed from mother to child (called mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA for short), and in DNA that travels from father to son (known as the Y chromosome, the part of DNA that determines a child will be a boy). By comparing the mtDNA and Y chromosomes (染色体) of people from various populations, geneticists can get a rough idea of where and when those groups separated in the great migrations around the planet.
【1】Which one from the following can best summarize this passage?
A．Exploring human history
B．Finding DNA differences
C．Making a biology experiment
D．Discovering ancestry in DNA
【2】What can we infer from the quote of Spencer Wells in Paragraph 3?
A．Every drop of blood contains enough DNA information to fill many history books.
B．A drop of blood contains genetic information that can tell a person’s ancestral history.
C．Although people speak different languages, all human blood contains the same language.
D．The organization of information in a history book is similar to the that of DNA within a gene.
【3】What does the underlined word “bulk” in Paragraph 3 most probably refer to?
A．the large size
B．the main part
C．the number
D．the weight or shape
【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the reading?
A．Human DNA remains the same as what is passed down from their ancestors.
B．Comparing mtDNA and Y chromosomes can help identify human migrations.
C．The earliest people are said to originate from Africa and spread across the world.
D．Scientists have found ways to determine whether people share the same ancestor.
22、“Your playful days are over,” my brother said to me when he knew I was going to be a Senior One student. Then he continued telling me that senior school life was boring because I had to do a large amount of homework every day. The subjects were much more difficult than those of junior school.
I stepped into the school gate with a nervous heart. However, I was surprised to find what I experienced there was completely different from what my brother had told me.
The teachers gave excellent lessons in their own special way. They talked with me in a natural and fair way, as if I was an adult. All of them are so knowledgeable (学识渊博) and they not only explained the contents of textbooks but also provided extra information from other sources. Every word they said in classes made me so excited and interested that I had a strong desire to take in as much as I could.
In fact, my playful days were not over at all in senior school. There were many kinds of activities I could take part in. For example, sports meetings, the art festival, English corner, outing and so on. Best of all, generally, students organized the activities rather than teachers. Through this process, I improved my leadership abilities and communication skills. I've become mature (成熟的). I am not a kid any more.
Now if anyone asks me: “Through your process of growing up, which part is most impressive up till now?” Well, the answer will absolutely be my “senior high school life”.
【1】How did the writer feel when he started his senior high school?
A．Very excited.
B．A little worried.
C．Quite relaxed.
D．Embarrassed.
【2】What was the writer's general impression of his teachers?
A．Strict and organized.
B．Modest and hardworking.
C．Learned and easy going.
D．Helpful and kind-hearted.
【3】What has the writer learned by joining in different after-class activities?
A．Reading and writing skills.
B．The understanding of textbooks
C．Leadership and social skills.
D．Doing housework.
【4】What can you learn from the last paragraph?
A．His senior school life is the most memorable.
B．Senior school life was boring and tiring.
C．He will no longer believe in his brother.
D．The writer did well in all his subjects.
23、Do you know what really troubles me? For some reason, words with silent letters have always bothered me. For example, consider these words: know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon. All of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced, and these words are just a very small part of words with silent letters in them.
Some words are even worse, consider this word: colonel. Not only are some letters not pronounced, but letters that are not even there are pronounced.
Even foreign languages, especially French, are guilty of this needless complexity and confusion. I know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are, but that does not mean bad traditions must continue to survive. Especially if they are no longer logical.
Unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because there’s no group of people who can change or have the right to change the English language for everyone. However, the only thing we can do is make changes in the way we talk and write in hopes that it_____For example, I pronounce the letter “l” in salmon on purpose to make people annoyed and to sound more different or complicated. I even pronounce colonel the correct or French way.
I can only hope these two minor changes to the English language make sense to you, and you will help to keep up these minor changes forever in your everyday life.
【1】Which of the following is the main reason for silent letters?
A. French language. B. Historical reasons.
C. Some linguists D. Bad traditions.
【2】The underlined phrase “catches on” probably means “________”.
A. becomes popular B. gets across
C. follows the fashions D. doesn’t fall behind
【3】Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. Troubles in everyday life
B. Traps in English words
C. Words with silent letters
D. Necessary changes of languages
24、Learning Is a Learned Behavior
Many people mistakenly believe that learning is an unchangeable trait like eye color, simply luck of the genetic draw. 'People are born learners, or they're not." 【1】 Here are three practical ways to build your learning skills, based on research.
Organize your goals
Effective learning often boils down to a type of project management. In order to develop an area of expertise, we first have to set achievable goals about what we want to learn. Then we have to develop strategies to help us reach those goals. A targeted approach to learning helps us cope with all the self-carping （自我挑剔）feelings associated with gaining skills: Am I good enough? Will I fail? What if I'm wrong? 【2】 While some self-carping is normal, these sorts of negative emotions can quickly rob us of our ability to learn something new.
Think about thinking
Metacognition （元认知）is crucial to the talent of learning. Psychologists define metacognition as "thinking about thinking", and broadly speaking, metacognition is about being more inspective about how you know what you know. It's a matter of asking ourselves questions like: Do I really get this idea? Could I explain it to a friend? Or do I need more practice? When it comes to learning, one of the biggest issues is not that something goes in one ear and out the other. 【3】
Reflect on your learning
There is something of a contradiction in learning. Get into a discussion with a classmate, for instance, and often your best arguments arrive while you're washing the dishes later. In short, learning benefits from reflection. 【4】 Sleep is a fascinating example of this idea. It's possible that we tidy up our knowledge while we're napping or sleeping deeply. One recent study shows a good evening of shut-eye can reduce practice time by 50%.
Being a quick study doesn't mean you're the smartest person in the room. 【5】, thinking about your thinking, and reflecting on your learning at proper times, you can become a better study, too.
A.Is there any truth in these rumors?
B.By becoming the first to sail round the world
C.By deliberately organizing your learning goals
D.Isn't there something else that I'd rather be doing?
E.This type of reflection requires a moment of calm.
F.A growing body of research is making it clear that learners are made, not born.
G.The issue is that individuals don't push themselves to really think about their thinking.
