what makes some people more attractive to a mosquito than others? it takes blood and sweat to find out. to study how mosquitoes assess body odor, vosshall and her teammates might wear stockings on their arms and keep from showering for 24 hours to create sample smells, then comes the hard part. they insert their arms into the insects hidden home to study how mosquitoes land, bite, and feed and then they document how this changes. this can mean getting anywhere from one bite to 400, depending on the experiment. studying male mosquitoes is more pleasant. since they dont feed on blood, the lab tests their sense of smell using honey.vosshall and her team have also begun to study how genetics contribute to mosquitoes choice of a host. shes even created a breed that is unable to sense carbon dioxide, an important trigger for the insects. “by using genetics to make mutant(变异的) mosquitoes, we can document exactly how and why mosquitoes hunt humans,” vosshall says.once vosshall figures out what makes mosquitoes flock to us, she can get to work on making them leave us alone. many of her labs proposed solutions sound simple enough, including bracelets(手镯) that carry long-lasting repellants(驱虫剂) or traps that can reduce populations, but the breakthroughs, when they come, may save millions of lives in the developing worldand a lot of itching everywhere else.28. vosshall and her colleagues are mainly studying mosquitoes _ a. appearance b. size c. behavior d. change 29. by saying the underlined part “then comes the hard part”, the author probably means that_.a. the insects smell terribleb. the experiment will last longc. the researchers will probably sufferd. the researchers have to study lots of documents.30. why is it less challenging to study male mosquitoes?a. they are not bloodsuckers. b. they are afraid of stockings.c. they have a poor sense of smell. d. they are protective of their hosts.31. it can be inferred from the last paragraph that vosshalls research_.a. looks very promising b. has saved millions of livesc. is facing great difficulties d. is quite simple to carry out. d.too much tv-watching can harm childrens ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.one of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern california third-graders. those with tvs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom tvs.a second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in new zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of tv during childhood. but the results dont prove that tv is the cause and dont rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人）may watch lots of tv. their study measured the tv habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. these with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of tv per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school in the california study, children with tvs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom tv but who had home computers scored the highest while this study does not prove that bedroom tv sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldnt have tvs in their bedrooms 32 according to the california study, the low-scoring group might_ a. have watched a lot of tv b. not be interested in math c. be unable to go to college d. have had computers in their bedrooms 33. what is the researchers understanding of the new zealand study results? a. poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more tv. b. habits of tv watching reduce learning interest c. tv watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds. d. the connection between tv and education levels is difficult to explain34. what can we learn from the last two paragraphs? a. more time should be spent on computers. b. children should be forbidden from watching tv. c. iv sets shouldnt be allowed in childrens bedrooms, d. further studies on high-achieving students should be done35. what would be the best title for this text? a. computers or television b effects of television on children c. studies on tv and college education d. television and childrens learning habits第三部分: 完形填空(共20小题；每小题l5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 during the winter of 2002, i had the opportunity to teach tennis in nevis in the caribbean sea. my experience teaching and staying on the island was wonderful, 36 it was also hard work! after several weeks of teaching, i was 37 for a vacation! i had planned a surfing outing at a surf camp in panama with my friend clayton. i 38 to panama city with my tennis bag and off we went to the remote bay of chiriqui. to get to the camp, we had to load claytons surfboards and my 39 gear （装备）on and off several buses and boats. after eight hours of travel we finally 40 .the camp was perfect. the rooms were ideal. i rented a board and we had an unbelievable week 41 good waves. on our 42 trip, we learned that our bus back to panama city had been delayed. the sun was 43 down on us , and the only 44 was under a canvas canopy（帆布罩蓬）, next to the bus terminal attendants 45 . as i walked over to the shade area, a couple of kids started throwing 46 at me. thinking quickly, i reached into my 47 and opened a can of tennis balls. i 48 the youngsters and gave them the tennis balls. i got them to throw the balls onto the racket 49 throwing rocks at me. they seemed to 50 that. then an old boy got interested. he joined the game. 51 he seemed a bit more coordinated （协调的）than the youngsters, i gave him a racket and got him to try to hit the ball onto the catching racket.soon, his bus arrived, and he was on his 52 . but the clinic（临场教学） had just 53 . families from across the streets came over and wanted their tennis lesson, too. the bus terminal attendant 54_her post and came out for a lesson, too.in what seemed like no 55 , my bus arrived. clayton and i made it back to panama city in time for our connecting flights.36. a. unless b. but c. becaused. so37. a. guiltyb. blessed c. known d. ready38. a. rodeb. drove c. walked d. flew39.a. hiking b. tennis c. boarding d. swimming40.a. relaxed b. stopped c. arrived d. united41.a. admiring b. expecting c. watching d. surfing42.a. shopping b. field c. return d. business43.a. cutting b. breaking c. beating d. calming44.a. station b. shade c. seat d. entrance45.a. camp b. car c. office d. house46.a. rackets b. balls c. sticks d. rocks47.a. bag b. pocket c. can d. suitcase48.a. approachedb. blamed c. passedd. pushed49.a. except forb. instead of c. by means of d. in case of50.a. enjoy b. dislike c. worryd. understand51. a. if b. as c. though d. after52.a side b. phone c. way d. trip53. a. fadedb. changed c. finished d. started54.a. left b. cleaned c. searched d. protected55. a. time b. effortc. problemd. opinion第二卷（60分）第一节( 共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.why fewer toys will benefit your kidstoys are not merely playthings. toys form the building blocks for our childs future. they teach our children about the world and about themselves. they send messages and communicate values. 56 wise parents also think about the number of toys that children are given. while most toy rooms and bedrooms today are filled to the ceiling with toys, intentional parents learn to limit the number of toys that kids have to play with. _57 1. kids learn to be more creative. _58_ two german public health workers conducted an experiment in which they convinced a kindergarten classroom to remove all of their toys for three months. although boredom set in during the initial stages of the experiment, the children soon began to use their basic surroundings to invent games and use imagination in their playing.2. _59 when too many toys are introduced into a child life, their attention span will begin to suffer. a child will rarely learn to fully appreciate the toy in front of them when there are countless op
