has been reported in the nature magazine and the result is even amazing. rats have a lot more in 36 with humans than you may think! scientists have just mapped out the entire chemical makeup (构造)of the rat. the rat is just the third animal to have its genes（基因） mapped out. 37 two are humans and mice. genes are tiny sets of chemical structures(结构) that determine how each living creature looks and behaves. they also help determine 38 we get sick from 39 diseases. this new research will help scientists fight illnesses by 40 disease-related genes. it will also advance medical research 41 how genes and the environment 42 our health. rats are often used by scientists to learn more about diseases and 43 . whats so 44 about rats? this new research shows that a norway rat has more than 25,000 genes and about 90 percent of those genes are 45 like the ones youd find in mice and people! there is so much evidence that scientists have to believe that all three species 46 a common ancestor about 75 million years ago. 47 , there are some 48 differences among the three species, which differs them from each other. for example, the rat relies more 49 on its sense of 50 than a human. it also has more 51 devoted to smelling and identifying scents（气味）. little is known how rats can survive different conditions, but one of the more surprising 52 is how fast genes of rats 53 over time. scientists believe that this may mean that rats are more easily able to 54 their environment. there are about 50,000 genes that are 55 from our parents that make us look the way we do. 36. a. usualb. ordinaryc.

natural ability to design buildings. his buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also functional. they fit their purposes very well. wrights churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. his office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable at home. however, frank wrights beautiful, functional buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. there is another reason.frank wright is called the greatest american architect because he started an american style in architecture. most of the architecture in the united states before wright was really european, not american. wrights buildings do not like old european buildings. they have their own style. wrights ideas about style are still used in the united states and in other parts of the world.the most important idea in frank wrights style of architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. his houses are often called“grass-land houses”because their lines are similar to the lines on the grass-land. both the lines of the grass-land and the lines of wrights house are parallel（平行）to the horizon（地平线）, the place where earth and sky seem to meet. they are horizontal lines. most european style houses, in contrast, have many vertical（垂直的）lines that form 90 angles with the horizon.56which of the following would be the best title for this passage?athe influence of european architecture on america architecture.bthe buildings designed by the greatest architect frank wright.cthe influence of architect frank wright on american architecture.dfrank wrights contribution to the improvement of environment57what do you know about american architecture before wrights time?ait hadnt formed its own style yet.bit was a model of modern style.cmost of the houses were designed by europeans.dmost of the houses were practical but not good-looking.58what is the most important idea in wrights style?aarchitecture should present a variety of designs.ba building must have a large grass-land around it.carchitecture design should match natural surroundings.dthe function of a house is the most important in design.59which of the following styles of architecture is true of wrights“grass-land houses”?athe houses appear to stand on the horizon.bthe houses are built mainly on the grass-land.cthe houses have many lines that form a right angle（角）with the horizon.dthe houses are special in style with lines similar to those on the grass-land. （b） without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. for example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants (居民) of a country. if tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become angry and unhappy. they begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. they forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. it is important to think about the people of a destination(目的地) country and how tourism affects them. tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. tourism should also advance health and happiness of local inhabitants.too much tourism can be a problem. if tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. this means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.on the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. businesses can also lose money. it costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads, and other support facilities(设施) needed by tourist attractions. for example, a major international-class tourist hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. if this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.building a hotel is just a beginning. there must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers(阴沟) to handle waste, and water. all of these support facilities cost money. if they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.60. which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?a. it is not important to develop tourism.b. planning is of great importance to tourism.c. it takes a long timed. building roads and hotels is important.61. too much tourism can cause all these problems except _.a. air and water pollutionb. a change of the customs of the countryc. a bad effect on other industriesd. pressure on traffic62. not enough tourism can lead to _.a. a rise in price and a fall in payb. an increase in tourist attractionsc. the higher cost of support facilitiesd. the fact that some people may be out of work 63. the word “handle” in the last paragraph most probably means _.a. get inb. pick up c. carry awayd. take down(c)did you ever notice that when youre fat, men dont look you in the eye? they look across your shoulder. theres no eye contact.my name is leslie. i am a real person. up until two years ago, i was never looked in the eye, by anyone.i was too tired to be a lover to my husband. i was falling asleep by 8 oclock most evenings. when i did go out for an evening. my husband was ashamed of me. and he said so to my face. when i walked, my thighs scrape together. i couldnt even cross my legs. i was fat. not just“overweight”fat. i was 555” tall and weighed 205 pounds.about 18 months ago, my husband darrell left a “dear leslie”letter on my bed and asked for divorce.i went to a psychologist for advice. i knew that my weight was the source of my troubles. but id tried 14 different diets, at which i failed one by one.he listened carefully and recommended an entirely different program. this was not a “diet.”it was a unique new weight-loss program researched by a team of specialists who help to treat the severely fat. i entered the program. within the first four days, i lost only three pounds. so i was disappointed. but during the three weeks that followed, my weight began to drop from 205 pounds to 124 pounds. to me it was a miracle.the reason the program worked was simple. i was always eating. i could eat six times every day. i could snack in the afternoon. snack before dinner. i could even have snack at night while watching tv.how can you eat so much and still lose weight?the secret is in the combination of foods, approved by the research team, which you eat in each 24 hour period. you will enjoy a variety of meats, chicken, fish, vegetables, potatoes, sauces. even some light wine or beer if you wish. but be sure to have them in the right proportion（比例）thus a complete 24-hour fat-reduction cycle is formed.without hunger, without nervousness, it lets you lose pounds so easily. once you lose the weight, youll keep it off. forever, i am sure of that.64leslie .ahad never looked anybody in their eyes.bhad difficulties in walking because she was too fat.cwas looked down upon by her husband because she went to bed too early each evening.dwas often embarrassed because she was overweight for her height.65leslie went to psychologist for advice in order to .alose her weight.brecover her marriagecget a vegetarian dietdbecome an advisor66the weight-loss program worked very well. the reason is that .aleslie ate very little food and sometimes even fast food.bleslie only had snacks and never had dinners.cleslie could have rich food several times a day in the right proportion.dleslie had rich food whenever she felt hungry.67where do you think this article is most likely to appear?adaily newspaper.bwomens magazine.ca part of a novel.dnewsweek magazine. (d)what exactly is a lie? is it anything we say which we know is untrue? or is it something more than that? for example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. you say, “i wish i could help you but im short of money myself.” in fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you dont want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. is this really a lie?professor jerald jellison of the university of southern california has made a scientific study of lying. according to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. however, this is only one side of the story. other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of carrying out. this is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.research has also been done into the way peoples behaviour changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. it has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. to the trained observer they are saying “i wish i were somewhere else now”. they also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. one explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. the tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure makes it itch(痒).another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer desmond morris in his book manwatching calls “the mouth
