portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington His life size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale Museum which he founded in Philadelphia The world s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike The museum s most popular display was the skeleton of a huge extinct elephant which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801 Three of Peale s seventeen children were also famous artists Raphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers fruit and cheese His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people including one of George Washington Another brother Rubens Peale painted mostly landscapes and portraits James Peale the brother of Charles Willson Peale specialized in miniatures 小画像 His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America 用心 爱心 专心 56 The passage mainly talks about A the life of Charles Willson PealeB portraits in the 18thcentury C the Peale MuseumD a

milk drinking simply wasn t an option As people began to extract milk from animals though some people developed the ability to keep drinking it throughout their lives Scientists mow know of a milk related mutation 变异 in our genes the chemical instructions for life that we carry in almost every cell in our bodies People who have a mutated form of one particular gene can drink milk just fine People without the mutation tend to get sick from milk To figure out where and possibly why milk drinking started some scientists have been looking at who has the milk digesting mutation to day Pattems are striking Most adults in Northern and Central Europe are able to digest milk and they do Cheese butter and other dairy products are popular in countries such as Sweden Denmark Germany and England Because European settlers dominated North America most people here can handle milk just fine as well That may explain why ice cream is such a popular dessert in the United States In much of Africa Asia and South America on the other hand people tend to avoid dairy products because they lead to diarrhea 腹泻 and other stomach problems That s why you won t typically find cheese on the menu at a Chinese Japanese or Ethiopian restaurant Native Americans are also unable to digest milk Based on these genetic patterns scientists have long thought that milk drinking started in Northern Europe where dairy is an institution and the milk digesting mutation is everywhere A recent study painted a different picture With a computer model Thomas and colleagues looked at the spread of the milk drinking mutation farming and other related factors Working backward the scientists concluded that the first milk drinkers lived in Central Europe around what s now Hungary about 7500 years ago The practice didn t start farther north as scientists had thought before 用心 爱心 专心 62 Which of the following is the proper order of events according to the passage a Their children were able to digest milk as adults b They got sick from the milk c Some people got a mutation in their genes d Some people tried drinking milk from animals e Some people started to drink milk from animals on a regular basis A c d b e a B d e b c a C d b e c a D e b d c a 63 Most people in the USA can digest milk because A they have strong stomachsB their ancestors were Europeans C that s where milk drinking started D farmers raise a lot of cows there 64 Which of the following is LEAST likely to appear on the menu in a Japanese restaurant A Butter B Vinegar C Fish D Beef 65 Which of the following is the author most likely to agree with A Milk drinking first started in Northern Europe B Milk drinking first started in Central Europe C North American Indians were able to digest milk D Dairy products are very popular in North Korea 66 The main focus of the scientists research was A mutation of human genes B development of the human stomach C why milk drinking started D where milk drinking first started D Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it is steamy warm damp and thick But if you had been around 15000 years ago during the last ice age would it have been the same For more than 30 years scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold dry climates of the ice ages but until now no one has reached a satisfying answer Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the U K each year But how will the Amazon react to future climate change If it gets drier will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2 Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past Unfortunately getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting 用心 爱心 专心 information are very difficult To study past climate scientists need to look at fossilized pollen 花粉 kept in lake mud Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments 沉淀物 which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery There are very few roads and paths or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled So far only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change 67 The underlined phrases mopping up in the 2ndparagtaph means A cleaning upB taking inC sending offD giving out 68 How will the Amazon rainforest react to future climate change A It ll get drier and continue to remove CO2 B It ll remain steamy warm damp and thick C It ll continue to help slow global warming D There is no exact answer up to present 69 What s the main idea of the last paragraph A There is little information to study the past climate B It s impossible to prove how climate changes in the Amazon rainforest C It s hard to collect information for studies of the past climate in the Amazon rainforest D It s necessary to have specialized equipment and machinery to study the past climate 70 The best title for the passage may be A the History of the Rainforests B Climates of the Amazon C Secrets of the Rainforests D Changes of the Rainforests 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 10 分 根据短文内容
