This is so 1 that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one 2 understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process is not as 3 as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant 4 . We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they 5 do. As a matter of fact, they 6 to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious(神秘的) way of knowing the 7 .

However, it was later found that not just plants but also 10 , including man, have this “inner clock” which 11 the working of their bodies and influences their activities.

In the 14 world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night.

The Framingham Study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about 5,000 people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than 12,000 individuals are taking part.Information from the Framingham Study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person. So can behaviors like littering and the ability to stop smoking.University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups.Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was 25% more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someones loneliness.The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men.The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. It also found that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days.Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.The study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. They can do this by helping individuals they know who may be experiencing loneliness. The result can be helpful to the whole social group.26. What is true about the Framingham Study?A.

The Disney company sells music and film to tweenagers and their parents. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. Its all about sales, which suggests that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than theyve ever had before.Most kids in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Parents have more money to give their kids than previously, since parents are having fewer children. In addition, the divorce rate in the UK is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to, so many parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children. Its a bad habit for both parents and kids to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the pleas of their children.UK kids today are very media and computer-literate. A lot of kids have a TV, if not a computer, in their bedrooms. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well, since 24% of UK kids live in single-parent families, so people now say that “kids are getting older younger”. With such maturity at such a young age, its no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents and have more freedom than previous generations.UK tweenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes. Thats changed. Now, they are much more fashion conscious and concerned about their image. Many tweenagers outgrow the bright colours and fashions of their tweenage years and go for something darker and more rebellious.Surely none of the above is a good thing. The UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from explicitly marketing their products and services at children.31. Why are more products and services created for tweenagers?A. Because children education is becoming more important.B. Because children have more money to buy them.C. Because it is better to study music from an early age.D. Because more companies are creating products and services.32. Kids today can get more money partly because _.A. parents always accompany their kidsB. parents have more expectation of kidsC. more and more parents divorce nowadaysD. kids know how to make money33. Tweenagers have more freedom due to the following facts EXCEPT that _.A. their parents can not influence them any moreB. they know more information than kids beforeC. they become mature at a younger ageD. they have a lot of experience in life34. Which is true about kids in the past?A. They used to have more money to spend.B. They couldnt influence their parents.C. They looked older than their age.D. They preferred to wear brighter clothes.35. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To teach a new word “tweenager”.B. To introduce a new phenomenon.C. To urge parents to care about their kids.D. To blame todays young people.CWhen you do some minor image editing(修正) on your computer screen, you may make some mistakes, so from time to time youd click undo(撤消).There are things in life we cannot undo as easily and completely as we would with our computer files. A wrong turn, a hurtful word said to a loved one, a bad move these we all commit as we walk our lifes journeys, no matter how careful we are in our steps. Once committed, we can no longer undo many of these mistakes, especially because unlike with our computer documents, each thing we do and say has vast impact as they involve not just us the file that we are working on but also others, the unopened files and computer programs in our system.So I guess our lifes mistakes are not like our pencil scrawls that can be effectively corrected with an eraser, or errors on our computer works that can be undone with an undo button. But there are effective and reliable tools we can useAPOLOGY and FORGIVENESS. Simply click the APOLOGY button when you have committed a mistake that has hurt a loved one and the words “Im Sorry” will flash on the other persons screen. But, you have to be truly sorry and you must be prepared not to commit the same mistake again for your APOLOGY to work. Sincerity is definitely a necessary part.When someone clicks the APOLOGY button and the words “Im sorry” flash on your screen, all you have to do is click back the FORGIVENESS button. It means that you have wholeheartedly accepted the other persons APOLOGY. But not only that. You also have to click it when someone has sent you back the message “Its okay. Forget about it,” on your request of APOLOGY. It means that you are also forgiving yourself for your mistake; that you wont keep feeling so bad having committed it.And lastly, dont forget to keep clicking the SAVE button. Going through the whole process of editingof doing and undoing, of apologizing and forgiving is useless if you fail to save the LESSON for future use. Let the saved file be a reminder of the healing process you once went through to make yourself better; for you not to forget the lesson; and for others to access and learn from.36. Which of the following is TRUE?A. However careful we are, we still make mistakes in life.B. Things we do and say can affect computer programs in our system.C. We can undo lifes mistakes if we are careful enough.D. An eraser is an effective tool for our computer works.37. The APOLOGY button should be clicked when _.A. one wants to make the computer work perfectlyB. ones mistakes wont influence others any moreC. one is actually saying “Im sorry”D. one wont make the same mistake again38. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The UNDO button.B. The APOLOGY button. C. The SAVE button.D. The FORGIVENESS button.39. We need to click the SAVE button in life because _.A. we want to go through the whole process of editingB. we need to learn a lesson from the past mistakesC. we want to make the healing process fasterD. we need to use the computer properly40. What is the best title for the passage?A. Editing Mistakes in LifeB. Learning to ApologizeC. Learning to ForgiveD. Computer and LifeDAnthropologists are looking into the possibility that some European-looking Chinese in North-west China are the descendants(后裔) of a lost army from the Roman Empire.Experts at the newly established Italian Studies Center at Lanzhou University in Gansu province will excavate a section of the Silk Road, a 7,000-kilometer trade route that linked Asia and Europe more than 2,000 years ago, to see whether there are remains of Roman soldiers in China. They hope to prove the legend by digging the Road and discovering more evidence of Chinas early contact with the Roman Empire.Before Marco Polos travels to China in the 13th century, the only known contact between the two empires was a visit by Roman diplomats in 166 AD.Chinese archeologists were therefore surprised in the 1990s to find the remains of an ancient defense structure in Liqian, a remote town in Yongchang county on the edge of a desert area, that was strikingly similar to Roman defense structures. They were even more astonished to find Western-looking people with green, deep-set eyes, long hooked noses and blond hair.Though the villagers said they had never traveled outside the county, they worshipped(崇尚) bulls and their favorite game was similar to the ancient Romans bull-fighting dance.DNA tests in 2005 confirmed some of the villagers were indeed of foreign origin, leading many experts to conclude they are descendants of an ancient Roman army headed by general Marcus Crassus.In 53 BC, Crassus was defeated and killed by the Parthians, a tribe(部落) occupying what is now Iran, putting an end to Romes eastward expansion. But a army of 6,000 men led by Crassus eldest son apparently escaped and was never found again.Though some experts are convinced the Roman-looking villagers in Yongchang county are the descendants of the soldiers, others are not so certain.A professor at Beijing Normal University believes that there were many chances for trans-national marriages because the county is on the Silk Road, and the “foreign” origin of the Yongchang villagers does not necessarily mean they are of ancient Roman origin.41. What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?A. Dig.B. Defend.C. Repair.D. Protect.42. The Chinese local villagers and Romans are similar in the following aspects EXCEPT that _.A. they have similar appearanceB. their defense structures are similarC. they have the same characterD. they both worship bulls43. The villagers in Yongchang county may not be of ancient Roman origin because _.A. the results of DNA tests may be wrongB. their ancestors might have married other foreignersC. they are of the Parthian originD. Crassus was defeated and killed.44. From the passage, we know that _.A. the ancestors of the Liqian villagers are from ancient RomeB. the research on the origin of the Liqian villagers is still under wayC. Romans built the ancient defense structures in LiqianD. the Liqian villagers are not of foreign origin45. Where might the passage be taken from?A. A science fiction.B. A book review.C. A travel guide.D. A news story.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请将答案填涂在答题卡标号为4650的相应位置上。首先，请阅读以下网站信息：A.B.C.D.E.F.请阅读以下人员信息，然后匹配人员与相关网站：46.
