Everybody must have 12 grapes(葡萄) to eat at midnight. At each sound of the clock, we must eat a group. But we cant ever finish eating the grapes on time!

They all give me a drink.Part 3 Angela from BrazilIn all cities in Brazil, we have a big party on New Years Eve, especially in Rio de Janeiro.

DNA is something that everybody has, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our mother and father, because we get some of their DNA to make our own. People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Gregor Mendel discovered a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things named “genes” in our body. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are real messages written in the DNA with a special language.In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johann Matthaei found a message in DNA showing how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts. Scientists have now found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help save more people from several illnesses.Most people hope that this will help make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when people begin to know more words and find out lots of other information, we might use it in a wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people from getting jobs. Man would have to meet a lot of trouble if DNA technic wasnt limited in use. 46. When did we first know why we look like other people in our family? A. In 1860. B. In 1953. C. In 1961. D. In 2000. 47. What does the underlined word “gene” mean?A. The “map” of DNA. B. A special language. C. Small parts of DNA. D. DNA.48. What did the two scientists first discover in 1961?A. The “map” of DNA. B. A new illness. C. The language of DNA. D. A message of DNA.49. What can we do if we understand some “words” of the language inside the body?A. Make people get new jobs. B. Make medicine for illnesses. C. Make maps of human. D. Make people less attractive.50. What do people think about this work?A. It can cause good or bad results. B. It can cause only good results. C. It can cause good results but wont work. D. It can cause only bad results.2013年九年级第二次练兵英语试题第卷 （非选择题， 共50分）四、听力填表（共5小题，计5分）录音中是一篇关于如何调整易怒情绪的短文。听两遍后，根据所听内容完成下面的表格。Getting angry makes the problems （51）_ _.AdviceFirst, keep a record to write down （52）_ you are angry.Second,（53）_ _ to your friends.Third, do something（54） _ .Try to （55）_ _at life!五、动词填空（共10空，计10分）阅读下面短文，用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空 (必要时可加情态动词或助动词)。Henry and Charlie were good friends.
