scientists are studying twins to find out. one set of twins occurs every 70 births-some are identical and others are non-identical twins. identical twins are special because they share exactly the same genes and often the same environment. non-identical twins are more like ordinary brothers and sisters.some identical twins have been adopted and brought up in different homes. with identical genes but a different home environment, scientists can study twins to see how much a particular feature depends on the genes we inherit. for example, we know that eye problems, like short-sightedness, are mostly genetic. but resistance to pain is largely dependent on experiences. genes also influence our eating habits. identical twins brought up apart often like to eat at the same time of day and feel full after eating the same amount. non-identical twins in similar circumstances have more varied eating habits. identical twins are also more likely to follow the same patterns for marriage and divorce than non-identical twins.scientists are trying to identify the different genes that influence our behaviour. some people are thrill-seekers and get into risk-taking and adventurous activities. they take up extreme sports like bungee jumping and possibly take drugs. scientists have discovered a gene which affects this.we could ask, “are our lives determined by our genes or our upbringing?” scientists are learning more all the time, but it is certainly true that both are important in making us who we are.46. what is the main idea of the first paragraph? a. we cannot easily change our physical appearance. b. how we turn out depends on our parents genes. c. everyone has a physical double somewhere in the world. d. both our genes and our experiences make us who we are.47. why are scientists studying twins? a. to find out how many twins are born every year. b. to discover what shapes us as individuals. c. to compare differences between twins. d. to study brother-and-sister relationships.48. according to the passage, _. a. one in 70 twins are genetically identical b. non-identical twins are usually not of the same sex c. twins separated at birth behave exactly the same d. identical twins are genetically the same49. which of the following is most affected by experience according the passage? a. eating habits. b. eye-sight. c. pain resistance. d. marriage patterns.50. what does the underlined “this” in paragraph 4 refer to? a. our love of sport. b. our attitude to risk-taking. c. our skill at bungee jumping. d. our ability to take drugs.cfor many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. however, senior 1 student li qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. he is disabled and unable to take care of himself.the 16-year-old country girl in zhucheng, shandong province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. li lost her mother at three. four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. at 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family. li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. the most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move.i felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. it was really hard at the beginning, she recalled.during most of her junior school years, li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time.i taught myself at home and asked teachers for help on my school days, she explained.lis hard work paid off this fall. she was admitted by zhucheng no 1 high school, a local key school, based on her good performance in the entrance exams.the school offered li and her father a room on campus to live in so she could look after him during breaks. once in a while, li felt sad when she saw her classmates going shopping or hanging out with friends. i envy them sometimes because they have both mum and dad to look after them. however, i soon feel relieved as i still have my dad with me, she said.li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong.i believe i will go on and continue my studies at a good university, she said, in a confident tone.her teacher mr. wang has the same belief. li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. she works hard and is always eager to excel. its not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work, wang said.51. li qinmei has to shoulder the family because _.a. her father was badly injured in a car accidentb. her mother passed away when she was 3c. her grandma died when she was 12d. misfortune in her life forced her to do so52. from the passage we can infer that _.a. li qinmei doesnt like others talking about her fatherb. many young students hate going to school with their parentsc. li qinmei has made great progress in her studyd. li qinmei has lost three relatives and has to take care of her father53. whats the meaning of the underlined phrase “hanging out” in the passage?_.a. playing outside b. working hard c. exchanging ideas d. talking happily54. according to the passage, which statement is not true?
