watching him saw someone else That was my elder brother Bob who is athletic and energetic He could never sit still when he was in second grade he had to get up every now and then and run around the room And sure enough he grew up to be a starting player for an N C A A championship lacrosse 长曲棍球 team He was a Nike endorsed marathoner too and reached the top of Mt Everest unguided in his 50s And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games We did watch some of his marathons but 5 that wasn t until he was in his 20s When Bob was in his glory days our Shanghainese born parents were bent on getting him into medical school There was a loving aspect to it I can remember my father working through math books with him lesson by lesson at the big blackboard in the attic Bob never did become a doctor though and neither di d I It wasn t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat Bob today could be the fittest 58 year old on the planet His doctor estimates his biological age at 35 he s still climbing big mountains in the Himalayas And like Jeremy Lin he s charming No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building and it s true To know him is to cheer for him And yet my parents did not cheer for him What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics like Jeremy Lin s mother What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate It s hard not to wonder And how did Jeremy Lin s parents manage to do these remarkable things Amy Chua the tiger mother recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word How is it that Jeremy Lin s immigrant father in particular Gie Ming Lin encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path 31 Bob s glory days were those A when he was doing well in mathB when he was in second grade C when he was made mayor of his buildingD when he showed his talents in sports

depressed Drinking two or three cups reduces the risk by 15 percent This is the result of a study of 51 000 women over ten years published in the Journal of the American Medicine Association One theory is that caffeine reduces the effect of the chemical adenosine 腺苷 in the brain which can make us feel sleepy by slowing down nerve cell activity Some anti depressants also work by blocking the adenosine receptors Coffee was found to be far more influential on depression levels than hot chocolate or tea due to the high caffeine content How many eggs can we healthily eat one a day or two a day Neither eat them freely We ve long been warned to stick to two or three eggs a week because of their high cholesterol 胆固醇 content But according to the Food Standards Agency there is no recommended limit to how many eggs we can healthily eat unless you have been told to cut down by your doctor There is no evidence that eating eggs raises cholesterol levels and researchers found that eggs contain less cholesterol than in the past because hens are no longer given bone meal which was banned in the 1990s after the BSE 疯牛病 cresis Research by the British Egg Council found that a medium egg gives you around 100 mg of cholesterol a third of the 300mg recommended daily limit 35 What is considered to fight depression best A Tea B Chocolate C Adenosine D Coffee 36 We can infer from the text that A too much caffeine will probably make people sleepy B coffee contains less caffeine than tea or hot chocolate C one is depressed if his brain chemical adenosine is active D tea and hot chocolate have no effect on men s depression 37 What can we learn about eggs from the text A We should stick to two or three eggs a week in general B Eat as many eggs as you like unless your doctor advises you not

flying weather from a naval air installation in southeastern Florida on a routine training mission over the Atlantic Ocean Less than two hours later the flight commander radioed that he was completely lost Then there was silence A rescue plane was sent to search for the missing aircraft and it too disappeared Despite one of history s most extensive search efforts involving more than 300 planes and dozens of ships 7 the Navy found nothing not even an oil stain floating on the water This is just one of the many frightening stories told of the Bermuda Triangle a mysterious area of the Atlantic Ocean roughly stretching southwest from Bermuda to the Florida coast and down to Puerto Rico During the past 30 years the triangle has claimed the lives of some 1 000 sailors and pilots Stranger yet are the numerous ghost ships that have been found floating crewless within the triangle On one strange occasion in 1881 the cargo ship Ellen Austin discovered a small sailing ship sails waving uselessly in the wind The boat was full of wood with no one on deck The captain of the Ellen Austin installed a new crew to sail it but two days later during a rough storm the two ships temporarily lost sight of each other When the captain again boarded the boat he found his crew had disappeared After a second crew was assigned the ship was again lost in a fog bank This time no trace of the boat or the crew was ever found Charles Berlitz a man with an interest in Atlantis the legendary lost island puts forward his theory that a giant solar crystal which once was the power generator for Atlantis lies on the ocean floor From time to time according to his theory passing ships and planes set off the crystal which confuses their instruments and engulfs them into the ocean Officially the U S Navy does not recognize the triangle as a danger zone and is convinced that the majority of disappearances in the triangle can be due to the unique features of the area s environment These include the swift Gulf Stream current and the unexplored valleys under water of the Atlantic Also the triangle is one of only two places on earth where a compass needle points to true north rather than magnetic north causing problems in navigation However other scientists argue that beings from outer space have established a highly advanced civilization in the unexplored depths of the Atlantic inside the triangle There they believe most of the missing vessels and their crews may still be on display for study by these higher intelligences 38 The author develops the first two paragraphs through A a series of events described in order of time B a general view supported by specific examples C a specific incident followed by a general introduction D a strange phenomenon followed by cause explanation 39 What did the captain of Ellen Austin do when he discovered a small sailing ship floating crewless A He had all the wood transferred onto his own ship B He had new powerful sails fixed on the small boat C He sent a message that they were in danger and needed help D He asked some of his sailors to get onto the boat to sail it 40 The underlined word engulfs in Paragraph 4 probably means A dropsB sucksC puts D throws 41 Which of the following could serve as the best title for this passage A The Mysterious Bermuda Triangle B The History of the Bermuda Triangle C A New Research on the Bermuda Triangle 8 D A New Angle to Look at the Bermuda Triangle D For the 17 years my life was very happy Then the first sad thing happened My mother became very ill and soon she knew that she was dying Just before she died she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room She held our hands and said Victor and Elizabeth my children I m very happy because you love each other and because one day you ll get married Everyone in the family loves you Elizabeth Will you take my place in the family my dear I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone My mother died and we were very sad because we loved her dearly Elizabeth was brave and helped us her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother s death The time came for me to go to university I didn t want to leave my sad family but we all knew that I should go It was hard to leave too because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me So I had gone alone On my first day at university I met my teacher Professor Waldman who was one of the greatest scientists in the world He gave a wonderful talk to all the students who were starting at the university He ended his talk by saying Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow You must study hard and discover everything that you can This is why God made you intelligent to help other people After the professor s talk I thought very carefully I remembered the storm when I was 15 I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree From then on I wanted to use electricity to help people and I wan ted to discover the secrets of life I decided to work on these two things I started to work the next day I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist The professor helped me very much and other important scientists who were his friends helped me too I was interested in my work and I did not take one day s holiday during the next two years I did not go home and my letters to my family were very short After two years I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university My machine would help me answer the most important question of all How does life begin Is it possible to put life into dead things To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them In the hospital and in the university I watched the dying and the dead Day after day month after month I followed death so it was a dark and terrible time I built a tall mast about 150 meters high which is higher than the tallest building in the city to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead Then one day the answer came to me Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life 42 Which of the following is
