After having a look, Mary said, “Oh well, it isnt our fire. Lets go home.” But John drove closer and said, “That home belongs to Fred Jones who wouldnt be off work yet. Maybe there is something we could do.”John noticed an old lady screamed to him, “A children! Get the children!” John grabbed (抓住) her by the shoulder saying, “Get a hold of yourself and tell us where the children are!” “In the basement,” cried the lady.In spite of Marys disagreement, John soaked (浸湿) his clothes and ran to the basement which was full of smoke. He found the door and grabbed two children. As he left he could hear some more cry. He sent the two badly frightened children into the waiting room and asked how many more children were down there. The told him two more and Mary grabbed his arm and screamed, “John! Dont go back! Its dangerous! That house will fall down in any second!”But he shook her off and went back. It seemed a very long time before he found both children and started back. As he climbed up the endless steps the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies next to him, and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air, he found that he had just rescued his own children.

They believe this is because evolution (生物进化) has biologically made children be wary of plants.Because of susceptibility (敏感性) to illness or injury in the early years of life, the body has designed an inner defence mechanism (内部保护机制) that limits a child s contact with plants, they think. The researchers believe this is why children turn their noses up when faced with a plate of broad beans.The findings are published in a paper by Dr Annie E Wertz and Dr Karen Wynn, both psychologists at Yale University.They wrote, Throughout human evolution. plants have been important in humans life. Yet, for all of these benefits, plants have always caused very real dangers.Plants produce toxins (毒素) as defences that can be harmful, or even deadly. Some plants also produce physical defences, such as thorns（荆棘）can damage tissues (组织) andcause effects over the whole body.They added, We predicted that babies may have behavioural strategies that reduce dangers caused by plants.To test their theory, the researchers studied how children aged eight to 18 months old reacted when presented with a variety of objects. It took much longer for children to grab plants; objects that were pretended to look like plants also caused a slow response time.For parents attempting to spoon some peas into the mouth of their child, this finding should come as welcome relief.28.The underlined word they in Paragraph 3 refers to_?A .the parentsB .the researchersC .the babiesD .the plants29.What does the underlined word wary in the third paragraph mean?A .Curious B .AfraidC .Tire D .Certain30.What was plants role in early humans life?A .They were important, in spite of danger.B .They reacted badly to human evolution.C .They contributed to the most deaths and illness.D .They developed human physical defenses against dangers.31.Whats the passage mainly about?A .Why some plants are harmful.B .How humans react to plants.C .Why children dont like to eat greens.D .When children from behavioural strategies.DStephen Hawking is perhaps the worlds most famous living physicist. To the public, hes best known as an author of bestsellers such as The Universe in a Nutshell and A Brief History of Time, which have brought an appreciation of theoretical (理论上的) physics to millions. He is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet. But outstanding astrophysicist (天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University, where he studied physics, and that only the news that he might die young from motor neurone (运动神经元) disease made him focus on his work.Professor Hawking said, “My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she was brighter than me.” He said that he was common at school and was never further than halfway up his class. “My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was very bad in the teachers eyes,” he said. “But my classmates gave me the name Einstein, so probably they saw signs of something better.”But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that he began to focus on his work, which resulted in some of his early achievements. He said, “When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.” Hawking serves as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, where he continues to contribute to both high-level physics and the popular understanding of our universe.32. When Stephen Hawking studied in Oxford University, he was _ .A .clever B .lazy C .bright D .mean33. What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?A .Patience. B .Knowledge. C .Disease. D .Laziness.34.From whom did Hawking get a fair judgment when he was at school?A .His sister. B .His classmates. C .His teachers. D .His parents.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A .Hawking didnt realize his dreams in physics.B . The doctor warned Hawking that his life might be taken away by hard work.C .The purpose of the doctor was to encourage him to work hard.D . Hawking succeeded in overcoming the fear of an early death.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。Training for a marathon（马拉松） requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 36 , buy the best-fitting, best-built running shoes you can find.
