Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color.The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 percent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 percent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science. Scientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment (色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin color is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanin (黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanin per pigment cell determine skin color.It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation (变异) in the gene for melanin production. This results in less pigmented skin. However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun , which can cause skin cancer. But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin color, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin color without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.24. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. people can not change their skin color without any pain B. the new discovery couldnt lead to research into ways to change skin color safely C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin color as he liked D. scientists have found out that peoples skin color is determined by the gene25. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. nowadays people who want to change their skin color have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatment B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene C. the new discovery has helped to find medical treatments for skin cancer D. there are two kinds of genes26. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebrafish in order to _. A. find the different genes of humans B. prove the humans skin color is determined by the pigment gene C. find out the reason why the Africans skin color is dark D. find out the ways of changing peoples skin color27. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that _ A. they are born light-skinned people B. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gene for melanin production C. they have fewer activities outside D. they pay much attention to protecting their skinCThe television news feature about Ben Heckmann, an eighth grader from Farmington, Minn., was breathless in its praise. “At 14, he has accomplished something many adults cant achieve,” the reporter said. “Ben is a twice-published author.” But Bens two “Velvet Black” books, describing a fictional rock band, were not picked from a pile of manuscripts(手稿) by an eagle-eyed publisher. They were self-published, at a cost of $400 by Bens parents. Over the past five years, print-on-demand technology and a growing number of self-publishing companies whose books can be sold online have inspired writers of all ages to avoid the traditional gatekeeping system for determining who could call himself a “published author.” The mothers and fathers who foot the bill say they are simply trying to encourage their children, in the same way that other parents buy equipment for a promising baseball player. But others see self-publishing as a lost opportunity to teach children about hardship and perseverance. Mr Robbins, a critic, thinks it is wonderful to start writing at a young age, but worries self-publishing sends the wrong message. “There are no prodigies(神童) in literature,” he said. “Literature requires experience, in a way that mathematics and music do not.” Alan Rinzler, a publishing industry veteran, suggested parents hire a professional editor like him to work with their child to tear a manuscript apart and help make it better.Bens father, Ken, said Bens ambitions “werent to knock Harry Potter off the list,” but “to get that good feeling inside .” Ajla Dizdarevic, 12, who has self-published two books of poetry, has been on television and in local newspapers. Being a published author, she said, “was always a dream of mine.” Her new dream: three books by age 15. 28. Which of the following is true of Ben?A. His manuscripts were favored by the publisher.B. His self-published books were well received.C. He has achieved something unusual for his age.D. He was thought little of by the public media.29. What makes it possible for writers of all ages to self-publish their works?A. The rapid increase of online readership.B. The increasing number of publishers.C. The immediate access to marketing agencies.D. The development of printing and publishing.30. Some parents pay the self-publishing bill for the purpose of _. A. offering opportunitiesB. giving encouragementC. helping avoid hardshipD. showing love and care31. Alan Rinzler suggests that children should_ .A. be forbidden to write booksB. start writing at an early ageC. be professionally guidedD. learn from experienceDResearchers in Britain are driving the environmental movement to a new level. A team from the University of Warwick has built what it calls the worlds first completely environmentally friendly Formula Three racing car.The car is made mainly of renewable materials, like plants and vegetables. The structure around the car is made from natural plant fibers and potatoes. The steering wheel(方向盘) is made from root vegetables like carrots. The engine uses bio-fuel made from vegetable oil and waste chocolate.The new racing car is extremely fast. The car has a top speed of two hundred fifteen kilometers an hour. And it can go from zero to ninety-five kilometers an hour in just two and a half seconds. The racing car meets all of the Formula Three racing requirements except for its biodiesel(生物柴油)engine.Automobile racing is one of the most widely watched sports in the world. But it is also considered one of the least friendly sports to the environment. Racing cars burn a lot of fuel, and create a lot of air pollution. In recent years, the racing industry has taken steps to protect the environment. More racing companies are now producing cars that use less energy. These cars produce less pollution than cars that depend on traditional fuel, like gasoline.Last month, the new racing car was set to run in its first competitive race at the Formula Three Championship Final at Brands Hatch. It would have been the first biodiesel-powered car to race at Formula Three. Current Formula Three rules let only gasoline-powered car to compete. Officials needed permission from all of the Formula Three racers for the biodiesel-powered car to compete. They were unable to contact one of the drivers, so the new racing car didnt appear in the event. In test runs, the new racing car was the fifth fastest among the Formula Three race cars. Supporters are hoping to have the fuel problem solved in time to compete in the next season.32. Whats the second paragraph mainly about?A. What materials the new racing car is made of.B. Why researchers built the new racing car.C. The functions of the new racing car.D. The process of the new racing car being designed.33. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. the new racing car is the first environmentally friendly carB. automobile racing could be forbidden in the near futureC. many people like to watch automobile racingD. the new racing car will be allowed to compete in the next season of Formula Three racing34. In recent years, racing companies are producing cars that _.A. burn more fuel B. go more quicklyC. produce less pollution D. cost less money35. Why didnt the new racing car compete at the Formula Three Championship Final last month?A. Because the new racing car still needs testing.B. Because officials needed each racers permission but failed to contact one.C. Because therere some technical problems to be solved.D. Because few drivers think it is fast enough.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We are all faced with challenges constantly in every area of our lives36The truth is that you will have to deal with difficult problems throughout your life，whether it is in your personal life or careerMost of us get really afraid and run away from problems because we dont want to accept realityRunning away from your problems is the worst thing you can do to deal with the challenges you are faced withHere are some tips for you on learning how to deal with everyday challengesPlease bear in mind that you shouldnt overact when coming across challengesOveracting to a problem will cause you to make bad decisions37Next time you are faced with a challenge，stay calm so you can make smarter decisions38If you cannot accept reality，you will feel very frustrated with your lifeOnce you can accept reality，you will be able to be calmer and think more clearly about how to get a step closer towards your goals every dayMany people make a habit of blaming others for all their problemsThey fail to take full responsibility for the decisions they have made in lifeThe more you blame others for the challenges you are faced with，the more you will make people dislike you and not want to be around you39Dont compare your lifestyle with othersOf course，it is really difficult not to compare ourselves with other peopleHowever，the more often we do that，the more frustrated we will feel40The key thing to remember is that you create your own story and success in lifeAAccept the reality of the present momentBTry to look at change as a positive challenge，not as a threatCThere will always be a person that may have accomplished more than youDOur focus may entirely be on how we can deal with the challenge that has come our wayEWhen we are not in control of our emotions，we will make decisions that we will regret laterFHowever，most people have a hard time accepting and dealing with these challenges that ariseGTherefore，the first thing you should do when faced with a personal challenge is not to point fingers at others第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空 (共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Ive been married for seven years to an extraordinary woman，actress Catherine Zeta-JonesWe have two children，a daughter，4，and a son，7My life is 41 around my familys scheduleOur daughter just 42 kindergarten and our son began the second 43 last weekThey are at a precious age，and I dont want to miss a minute of it. 44 all parents，I labor to keep them on schedule，and try to teach them 45 to think positively and to work through daily lifeI also try hard to be sure they have 46 I read with my kids every nightThat has become a 47 for me.Weve moved to the island of Bermuda，where I spent a lot of time as a 48 （my mother is in Bermudian and still has a large family there）I 49 my schedule to my wifes，since she is in the prime（全盛期） of her 50 The school year tells us when we are going to travelThe kids know what Mommy does for a living， 51 they have never seen Daddys movies （theyre too young），so Mommy makes 52 and Daddy makes pancakes!
