There are 6.5 billion people in the world but no other person is exactly like you. Besides people, there are millions of other living things. Every living thing is different from each other. Every living thing is a unique combination of characteristics. Why is each living thing unique? Where do its characteristics come from? Do people receive characteristics from their mothers and fathers? How? The work of Gregor Mendel was especially important to help us to answer these questions. Mendel studied plants, especially pea plants. In some way they were all the same. For example, they all had flowers. But some had red flowers, and others had white flowers. Some were tall, others were short. Mendel was especially interested in the differences. He wondered why each plant was of certain color, shape, size. He experimented with thousands of pea plants, with a careful record. And he discovered some interesting things. He mated(杂交) different pea plants. First, he mated a red flower plant with a white flower plant. All of the offspring(后代) plants had red flowers. Mendel was curious about what happened to the white. Then he mated two of the offspring plants. Every time he did this, they produced three red plants and one white plant. There was the white again. So Mendel knew that even red plants somehow passed on whiteness. Mendel decided that pea plants carried factors, and the parents passed these factors onto their offspring.Today we call these factors genes. Genes are tiny pieces of matter. They carry information from parents to offspring. Now we know that every person is unique and one reason for this is that every person is a unique combination of genes.1. In the first paragraph, the author mainly tells us that .A. no other person is exactly like you.B. the total population of the world is 6.5 billionC. every living thing is uniqueD. different people have different characters2.

Gregor Mendel made a special study of plant because .A. few biologists were interested in studying pea plants at that timeB. he liked pea plant flowersC. he wanted to find out why pea plants differed in shape, color and sizeD. pea plants were all the same in some ways4. By experiments Gregor Mendel proved .A. pea plants of different colors could not mateB. pea plants possessed factors which could be passed onto the youngC. only redness could be passed onto the offspring if a red pea plants mated with a white oneD. pea plants had only two colorsred and white5. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Every person is unique because he is a unique combination of genes.B. Genes only exist in plants, not in animals.C. Although there are a large number of different people in the world, there are some who look exactly alike.D. Some biologists after Gregor Mendel discovered that genes can not determine the color of ones eyes.Passage 2 What do you know about the sea? Most of us have seen it. Many of us have swum in it. We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it. And we also know that the sea is full of waves. Waves are beautiful to look at, but they can destroy ships at sea, as well as houses and buildings near the shore. What causes waves? Most waves are caused by winds blowing over the surface of the water. The sun heats the earth, causing the air to rise and the winds to blow. The winds blow across the sea, pushing little waves into enormous ones. The size of a wave depends on how strong the wind is, how long it blows and how large the body of water is. In a small bay waves will never build up. But at sea the wind can build up giant, powerful waves. When the wind is blowing at 120 kilometers per hour, most waves will be about 12 meters high. In 1933 the United States reported the largest measured wave in history. It rose in the Pacific Ocean to a height of 34 meters.1. Which of the following directly causes waves? A. The sun. B. The wind. C. The sun heating the earth. D. The air rising above the surface of the water.2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. The size of a wave is determined by how strong the wind is. B. The size of a wave is determined by how long the wind blows. C.
