Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed-a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years. This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years, Its almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) -it will always be there, even when youve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.1The function of Paragraph 1 is to_ .A. give an example B. show the main idea of the passage C. make an argument D. introduce the topic of the passage2Most genetic changes happen because of_ .A. peoples bad living habit B. environmental pollutionC. peoples condition at birth D. heart disease and cancer3The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to_ .A. the footprint B. the cementC. the harmful effect D. the genetic change4Which of the following statements is true?A.

But he was a hard-working pupil even in his childhood. As a young man of a little over twenty, he became a small official of the state. Since he was very knowledgeable and serious in work, he had become quite well-known by the time he turned thirty. Confucius had been to many of the states of the time, trying to make his political views accepted by the rulers in running their states. But they turned a d deaf ear to his views and opinions. As a result, Confucius made up his mind to devote all his energies to education. When people learned about this, many of them sent their children to him to be educated. They were accepted and so Confucius became the first man in the history of Chinese education to start a private school.Yan Hui, a young man of humble origin, wanted to be accepted as Confuciuss student. But the family was so poor that they even had difficulty providing themselves with daily necessities. He was afraid he would be rejected as he could not afford the tuition(学费) One day he came to where Confucius was giving lectures and overheard Confucius say, “Im ready to accept anyone that can bring 10 pieces of preserved meat for tuition, whatever his origin” Hearing this, Yan Hui hurried back home and told his friends Zi Lu and Zi Gong about it. A few days later, all three became Confuciuss students.Confucius was a dedicated educator, having accepted a total of 3,000 students in his life, of whom 72 were outstanding scholars. Through educational work, Confucius succeeded in spreading his political views, which eventually became an independent school of thought and had a great influence on China for thousands of years.5.

The underlined phrase “turned a deaf ear to” in the first paragraph probably means “_”.A. were willing to accept somethingB. refused to listen to someoneC. gave away something important to others.D. made someones ear deaf7. From the last part of the first paragraph, we can learn that _.A. nobody hoped to send their children to school thenB. Confucius was the first person to start education for all in ChinaC.

Confucius used to work for the government.B. Confucius made his political views known through educational work.C. Some young men failed to be accepted by Confucius because of poverty.D. Confucius political views had a great effect on ChinaC Frank works at a school called Tumul Kin, which means “New Day” in the local language (Mayan Mopan).The school was founded in 2001 by Belizean Filiberto Penados, who received funding(基金) from the United Nations for the project.Frank said that there were about 60 students in five grades at the school, and they ranged from 12 to 20 years old. It was different from other schools in the area. While most trained youths for work that would take them away from their villages, Tumul Kin trained them for those things they could use locally, such as farming and various trades.“The difference in education is that students at Tumul Kin learn everything from mathematics and science to agricultural practices and how to raise livestock(家畜),” he said. “The main idea is to help maintain the Mayan lifestyle of village living and help it to be passed on to the next generation.”As for the radio station, Frank said that the effort was part of a program originally founded by the UN.“The radio station has been named Ak Kutan FM, or New Day FM. It will broadcast health information, such as where people can go to get tested for HIV, as well as report local and national news,” he said. For most, it was the first interaction(互动) with the local community that Mayans in this remote village would have. “I cant stress enough how little contact many villagers have had with the outside world,” Frank said. “Many have never left their village nor seen something like a telephone, refrigerator or even a world map.”9. Which of the following statements is true?A. Tumul Kin was founded by the United Nations.B. Tumul Kin was the only school in this area.C. Tumul Kin was founded in order to protect the local culture and traditions.D. Tumul Kin trained students so that they could find jobs after leaving the village.10Whats the main function of the radio station “Ak Kutan FM”?A. To show the local people how to stay healthy.B. To help the local people maintain their own lifestyle.C. To let the outside world know more about Mayan culture.D. To allow the local people to have more contact with the outside world.11From the passage we can infer that .A. Tumul Kin makes great contributions to the development of Mayan scienceB. the Mayan villages havent developed very much in the past few yearsC. more and more Mayans prefer to leave their hometown to work outsideD. the radio station “Ak Katan FM” has been popular with the local people12The passage is mainly about .A. the education system of Mayans B. the present living conditions of MayansC. the changes of the Mayan lifestyleD. the programs of developing the Mayan culture D Low-Cost Gifts for Mothers DayGift No. 1Offer to be your mothers health friend.

If you believe you dont have the ability to succeed, then you dont. 16 The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born. 17 Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Dont do that! 18 Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.Dont believe in a clear finish line for goals.Its a good idea to set a general timeline (时间表), but remember that something will be beyond your control. 19 If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when youd like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.Be sure that you dont see difficulties as failures.Difficulties mean only one thing: its not time for your goal to be completed yet.
