12.About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way.Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter.Perhaps,after all,it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different forms of color blindness.In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red,orange and yellow are all shadows of green.Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green.In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green-a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain.In a single eye there are millions of very small things called"cones".These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors.There are also millions of"rods",but these are used for seeing when it is near dark.They show us shape but no color.
Some insects have favorite colors.Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow.A red light will not attract insects,but a blue lamp will.In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors.Yet we are lucky.With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day,and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night.One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
51.The passage is mainly aboutD.
A.color and its surprising effects.
B.women being luckier than men
C.danger caused by color blindness  
D.color blindness
52.According to the passage,with the help of the"cones",we canD.
A.tell different shapes                   
B.see in a weak light
C.kill mosquitoes                      
D.tell orange from yellow
53.Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?B
A.Women are more careful.
B.There are fewer color-blind women
C.Women are fonder of driving than men.
D.Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.
54.Which of the statements about the color-blind is true?A
A.Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.
B.None of them can see deep red.
C.None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.
D.All of them see everything in shades of green.
55.We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using aC.

2.It's time to do something for your father-the man who for many people has been an encouragement and support since birth.The third Sunday of June is Father's Day.The holiday honors not only fathers,but also all men who act as father figures,such as stepfathers,uncles and grandfathers.
The idea of Father's Day came from the love and appreciation of American lady called Sonore Smart Dodd in 1909.Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father,William Smart.Heraised six children by himself on a countryside farm in Washington State after his wife died during the birth of their sixth child.When Dodd became an adult,she realized the selflessness her father has shown in raising his children as a single parent.It was her father who did all for his children.In the eyes of his daughter,William Smart was a courageous,selfless and loving man.Dodd's father was born in June,so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Washington on June 19th,1910.
In 1924,US President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day.Finally,in 1966,President Lyndon Johnson declared the third Sunday of June as Father's day.
So this is a perfect chance to let your father know what he means to you.To show your love and respect,you need not buy an expensive gift.You can send him a home-made card; You can call him every day; Even you can give him a sweet smile when he comes back from work.All these little things are easy for us to do,but they can show your care and love to your father.

3.How far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know?Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease?These days that's more than an academic question,as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.
There are now more than a thousand genetic(基因的)tests,for everything from baldness to breast cancer,and the list is growing.Question is,do you really want to know what might eventually kill you?For instance,Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson,one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup,is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer'(老年癡呆癥).
"If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease,that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious,through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you.It could really mess you up."Said Dr.Robert Green,a Harvard geneticist.
"Every ache and pain,"Smith suggested,could be understood as"the beginning of the end.""That's right.If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer's disease,then every time you can't find your car in the parking lot,you think the disease has started."
Dr.Green has been thinking about this issue for years.He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer's.It was thought that people who got bad news would,for lack of a better medical term,freak out.But Green and his team found that there was"no significant difference"between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives.In fact,most people think they can handle it.People who ask for the information usually can handle the information,good or bad,said Green.
71.The first paragraph is meant toB.
A.a(chǎn)sk some questions              
B.introduce the topic
C.satisfy readers'curiosity         
D.describe an academic fact
72.Which of the following is true of James Watson?D
A.He is strongly in favor of the present genetic tests.
B.He is more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
C.He believes genetic mapping can help cure any disease.
D.He doesn't want to know his chance of getting a disease.
73.According to Paragraphs 3 and 4,if a person is at a higher genetic risk,it isA.
A.a(chǎn)dvisable not to let him know       
B.impossible to hide his disease
C.better to inform him immediately
D.necessary to remove his anxiety
74.The underlined part"freak out"in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to"A".
A.break down        B.drop out     C.leave off        D.turn away
75.The study led by Dr.Green indicates that peopleC.
A.prefer to hear good news    
B.tend to find out the truth
C.can accept some bad news    
D.have the right to be informed.

20.Let's face it-you're going to get a lot of well-intentioned advice from friends,parents and grandparents about your sleep.Some of this advice is going to be just wrong.
Myth 1:Sleeping late on the weekends will make up for lost sleep during the week.
Fact:Getting less than the amount of sleep that you need night after night accumulates over time and starts to create a"sleep debt".And like all debts,eventually you need to pay the price.The problem with waiting until the weekend to meet sleep needs is that in the meantime,you are paying the price of being less alert,feeling more moody,thinking slower and having less stimulation.
Myth 2:A boring teacher (or warm room,full stomach,etc.) can put teens to sleep.
Fact:If you are getting enough sleep on a regular basis,there is no teacher,math book or reading assignment in the world boring enough to make you fall asleep in class.There are basically two things that make people sleepy-not getting enough sleep and not getting good quality sleep.The environment kids are in,including the room temperature,light level and entertainment value,may unmask underlying sleepiness,but the environment does not cause it!So if you are dozing off in class,don't blame it on bad teaching.
Myth 3:Teenagers can pull an all-nighter to study and still be ready for the big test in the morning.
Fact:Teenagers are much better off studying less and getting a good night's sleep.Research clearly shows that the ability to concentrate and learn new information,as well as to work efficiently,declines sharply after being awake for 15-16hours,and continues to bottom out the longer you stay up.Plus,if the big test is at 8:00am,the problem gets even worse.That's because morning time typically represents a low energy point in the body's normal 24-hour circadian(生理節(jié)奏的) rhythm,especially in teenagers.

64.According to the passage,a student who is in a sleep debtD.
A.thinks slower but more carefully
B.must make up for the lost sleep on the weekends
C.will become more interested in fancying
D.will become bad-tempered and upset
65.According to Myth 2,which of the following is TRUE?C
A.Students who eat a lot are sleepy at class.
B.The warm room can make students fall asleep easily.
C.Students'sleepiness has nothing to do with teaching.
D.The light level may lead students to feel sleepy.
66.If you wake up at six in the morning,when will you begin working ineffectively?A
A.At about 9pm         B.In the early morning.
C.At about noon.      D.In the midnight.
67.According to the passage,at 8:00am a teenager willB.
A.feel more energetic after a night's sleep
B.have a poor learning result
C.have the least desire to learn
D.be able to think in a quick way.

7.Forget famous goal celebration such as"The Robot"by Peter Crouch and"The Dive"by Juergen Klinsmann,here comes the South African"Diski dance".The Diski dance,which is performed through heading and kicking an imaginary ball,may be a goal celebration to watch in the following matches.
South Africa's Siphiwe Tshabalala and his teammates performed this different dance when they celebrated his goal against Mexico in the opening World Cup game on Friday.The dance is already popular on YouTube and many soccer fans may want to learn the moves.
Even South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has learnt the Diski dance which could be better than Cameroon Roger Milla's corner flag dance celebration in the 1990FIFA World Cup.US actor John Travolta performed the dance shortly after landing his Boeing 707at Lanseria airport,north of Johannesburg,on Wednesday morning.
Goal celebrations are now part of the biggest sporting event and players plan them in advance just in case they   find the back of the net.In football,a goal celebration is the practice of celebrating the scoring of a goal.The celebration may be performed by the goal-scorer,his or her teammates,the manager or coaches and the supporters of the team.
The Robot goal celebration was so popular that England fans were surprised when Crouch,an English international footballer,said that he wouldn't be doing it any more unless England won the World Cup.
The word Diski is the word used by the local people for soccer and may also describe the local style of football which focuses on dribbling(帶球) and other tricks.

63.Besides"Diski dance",how many types of goal celebrations are mentioned in the passage?B
A.2.   B.3.  C.4.  D.5.
64.The underlined part"find the back of the net"in Paragraph 4meansA.
A.score a goal         B.win the match
C.take a rest          D.take part in a match
65.What do we learn about the word"Diski"?D
A.It has become the most popular sports word in the world now.
B.It was used to show how people were good at dribbling.
C.It was used to describe a football which was imagined by footballers.
D.It was probably mainly used in South Africa before the South Africa World Cup.
66.What can we infer from the passage?B
A.All the footballers should have their own goal celebrations.
B.Goal celebrations play an important role in football games.
C.Famous goal celebrations all appeared in the World Cup games.
D.Footballers often don't plan their goal celebrations ahead of time.

17.In normal conditions,bread will go mouldy(霉)in around 10 days.But an American company says it has developed a technique that will keep the bread mould free for two months.
At the laboratory or Texas Tech University,chief executive Don Stull showed off the long,metallic microwave device.Originally designed to kill some bacteria,the researchers discovered it could kill the mould spores(霉孢)in bread in 10 seconds."We treated a slice of bread in the device,we then checked the mould in the bread over time,"he explained."And at 60 days it had the same mould content as it had when it came out."
The machine uses much the same technology as found in commercial microwaves-but with some important differences,according to Mr.Stull."We introduce the microwave frequencies in different ways,through a radiator.We don't get the hot and cold spots you get in your home microwave."
The device has attracted plenty of bread manufacturers-but it is worried that it could push up costs in an industry.And there is also a concern that consumers might not take to bread that lasts for so long.
Mr.Stull acknowledges it might be difficult to convince some people of the benefits."We'll have to get some consumer acceptance of that,"he said."Most people do it by feel,and if you still have that quality feel,they will probably accept it."
Mr.Stull believes that the technology could affect bread in other ways.He said that bread manufacturers added lots of additives(添加劑)to fight mould.As a result,they must add extra chemicals to mask the taste of them.If bakers were able to use the microwave technology,they would be able to avoid these additives.While a wholesale change in the bread industry might be difficult to achieve,there may be more potential with other foods.
71.The microwave device was originally designed toB.
A.make bread tasty            
B.kill some bacteria
C.kill the mould spores           
D.check mould in bread
72.What do the metallic device and commercial microwaves have in common?C
A.they both can kill mould spores
B.They both function through a radiator.
C.They both use microwave technology
D.They both can be used as a bread bakery.
73.According to Mr.Stull,the microwave technologyC.
A.may push up costs in the bread industry
B.will keep the bread more tasty after 60 days
C.can help bakers to avoid adding additives
D.might probably bring no benefits to consumers
74.What does the underlined word"them"refer to?B
A.Chemicals.B.Additives.C.Manufacturers.D.Foods.
75.It can be inferred from the text thatD.
A.bread made with the technology will have different taste
B.bread industry will pay no attention to the technology
C.the technology is as harmful as the additives
D.the technology is likely to be used more widely.

4.Gone are the days when men and women couldn't associate(交往)with each other.When we are asked whether boys and girls can associate with each other,most of us will say,"Yes,of course.Why not?"
If we want to deal with the association between boys and girls properly,here are some"dos and don'ts"for you to follow.
1.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind(心態(tài)). Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls.It is very natural for boys and girls to contact each other and build up the friendship with the students of the other sex.Generally speaking,we should broaden the circle of the association.We should make as many friends as possible.We should have more friends of the other sex instead of one or two.We should contact the students in public instead of in secret.
2.Contact students of the other sex warmly,generously and sincerely.Don't be too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex.In that case it is very difficult for you to make a lot of friends,as no one likes a person who is too shy to say a word.If you are too shy a person,you can also find a way out.First of all,you can contact the students with the same interest and hobby with you.As both of you have much in common,you may have much to talk about.If you keep doing like that,little by little,you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
3.Don't fall into the ditch(泥潭)of early love.The boys and girls at adolescence(青春期)are rich in feeling and full of imagination.They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age.In my opinion,boys and girls at middle school are too young and too tender to shoulder the heavy duty of love.Early love is a green apple that can't be eaten.An apple won't taste sweet until it is fully ripe(成熟).Do keep out of early love.
61.The main idea of the passage is toB.
A.tell students to keep away from early love
B.give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls
C.say contact does good not only to boys but also to girls
D.teach boys how to talk with girls
62.The underlined word"broaden"in the passage means"C."
A.close down     B.make small     C.make big    D.make known
63.A person at adolescence is NOTB.
A.rich in feelings         
B.old enough to fall in love
C.full of imagination      
D.easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love.
64.Which of the following is NOT true?D
A.Men and women used not to be allowed to associate with each other.
B.We'd better not make only one or two friends of the other sex.
C.Some students are too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex.
D.People like a person who always keeps silent.
65.The passage is mostly taken from a/anB.
A.magazine        B.newspaper         C.novel          D.internet.

2.John H.Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in 1918.His father died in an accident when John was six.He was reaching the high school age,but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
Fortunately he had a strong-willed caring mother.John remembered that his mother told him many times,"Son,you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe."She told him not to depend on others,including his mother."You have to earn success,"she said."All the people who work hard don't succeed,but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard."
These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education.She also knew that believing and hard work don't mean everything.So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son,who was then 15,to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for.John's mother and stepfather could not find work.But here John could go to school,and here he learned the power of words-as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.
While others discouraged him,John's mother offered him more words to live by."Nothing beats a failure but a try."She also let him pawn(典當(dāng))her furniture to get the 500 dollars he needed to start the Negro magazine.
It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful.He always keeps his mother's words in mind."Son,failure is not in your vocabulary!"
Now John H.Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America-worth 150 million dollars.

46.John's mother decided to move to Chicago becauseC.
A.his father died when John was very young
