It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, 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, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes(基因)” in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. Theyre written in the DNA with a special language.In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word”that could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts. So far, scientists have 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 to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand. The more doctors will be able to do.Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words”and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive(有吸引力的) , or stop sick people getting jobs.50.When did Mr. Mendel discover why we look the same as other people in our family? A. In 2000. B. In 1961. C. In 1953. D. In 1860.51.How can we help sick people if we understand more “words”in the DNA map? A. Make better medicine. B. Make them get jobs. C. Make maps for them. D. Make them attractive.52. Which one is NOT true according to the article? A. We look like our parents because of “genes”in our body. B. We have understood what all the words in the DNA map do. C. DNA is the whole “map”of the human body. D. DNA tells the cell to build its parts.CIn choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities(品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠).Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other persons place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults(过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experiences and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest and understanding, I know Ive found a friend!53. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend? A. Understanding. B. Honesty.C. Reliability. D. A sense of humor.54. If you have fair-weather friends, _.A. you will become rich B. you can be sure that you get real friends C. you will be refused when you get into troubleD. they will give you all that they have when you need help55. This passage mainly discusses _. A. the qualities of a friend B. how to get along with friends C. the importance of having a friend D. the importance of the qualities of a friendDSharon has been a serious runner for six years. She has completed three marathons and several shorter races. Each week she runs about 20 miles.Her favorite shoes? A $25 pair of Champion shoes she bought at Target. “I like running in simple shoes,” she said, “The more you pay, the more trouble you get.” She is right. Money often buys higher-quality goods, but not when it comes to running shoes.Over the last forty years, running has been popular as a leisure (闲暇的) sport. In 2009, 476,000 runners took part in a marathon. In 1976, the number was just 25,000. Sales of running shoes reached a record $ 2.36 billion in 2009, 60 percent more than ten years earlier.But some of those dollars may not have been well spent. In 2007, Scottish researchers tested running shoes at three price levels, ranging from $80 to $150, and found that low-cost and mid-cost shoes within the same brand protected runners feet just as well as high-cost ones, sometimes even better.“The common idea is that if you pay more, you will get better shoes,” said Abboud, director of the Institute of Motion Analysis and Research at the University of Dundee in Scotland, “Our research did not show that.” Professor Abboud and his colleagues have just completed a similar study, as not yet published, with nearly the same results.If you want to run well and run safely, consider fit first and price last. “You want a shoe that helps you keep a balanced position,” said Mark Montgomery, manager of the JackRabbit Sports store in Union Square in New York, “A more expensive shoe is not always the solution.”“The less you think about a shoe, the better,” said Ms Bakoul, a marathoner. 56. According to Sharon, _. A. expensive shoes will give you more trouble B. higher-quality shoes will protect your feet better C. taking part in marathons is very important for runners D. running about 20 miles a week is the best for your health57. From the passage the reason why much money is not well spent is that _. A. it was spent on running B. it was spent on high- cost shoes C. running needs the cheapest shoesD. money often buys higher-quality goods58. From the passage we can infer _. A. running as a leisure sport will be no longer popular B. Professor Abboud thinks the common idea is right C. Ms Bakoul is against the research results D. Mark Montgomery agrees with Sharon59. Whats the best title for the passage? A. The More, the Better B. Run Well and Run Safely C. The Less, the Better D. Fit First and Price Last七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）Many people think self-confidence is the key to a happy, successful life.

Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, youll find that the whole world smiles to you.While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teachers face when you did a good job?One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why dont you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better, so farmers will have a good harvest.Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure(失败) cant be avoided. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic(乐观的) attitude life is easy and pleasant. Lets smi
