We had been to Boston many times, but this trip was different.My mother is white and my father is black, and her family didnt approve of their marriage. So Ive grown up really knowing only my moms three cousins. I was 14 that summer and meeting my great-aunt Virginia for the first time. We had a nice lunch on Cape Cod. At first it was a bit awkward, as she was talking about other family members I didnt know. As we spent more time talking, I became more and more interested in the stories she was telling. Afterward, we went to her house for dessert. My mom and great-aunt reminisced (追忆往事), but for my mom it became a reminder of all the lost years. While they were talking, my brother and I went into the basement. She was getting ready to move, and there wasnt much down there, but an old, green metal box caught my attention. Aunt Virginia told me I could have whatever I wanted. She said the first-aid kit (成套工具) was her late husbands , and that he had been a World War II soldier. When I opened the box, all the original medical tools and bandages were intact (完好无损的). Many years ago, it was used to treat wounds on the battlefield; now it stays in my room. Id like to think that its playing some part in my family ties starting to heal.21. What can be inferred about the authors parents?A. They do not have many friends. B. They often fight with each other.C. They moved to Boston after getting married.D. They have little association with their relatives.22. What do we know about the first-aid kit?A. It was damaged in World War IIB. It was great-aunt Virginias treasure.C. It strengthens the authors family ties.D. It helps the author know more medicines.23. What would be the best title for the text?A. An unforgettable trip to BostonB. Family stories from World War IIC. My first meeting with great-aunt VirginiaD. A first-aid kit begins to heal a divided familyBFor my community service, I performed one major job. I played the piano for the residents (居民) at the Longview Nursing Home. If you had asked me two years ago if I could ever imagine myself doing something like this, I would have thought you were crazy.I made arrangements with Susan Lawful, director of the nursing home, to play songs every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon for two hours. Together with one of the residents, Mrs. Miller, I selected songs to play that the elderly citizens would enjoy and would be able to sing along with if they wanted to. Their favorite song was “Pretty Baby”. One of the men at the home liked that song so much that he danced along with the music every time we sang. Playing music was good for the residents and me. I developed a really great friendship with Mrs. Miller. I can honestly say this is the first person I ever really made a friend with who is two generations away from me. Also, it was always pleasant to see the smiles on the residents faces whenever I showed up to play. We were all a little nervous the first couple of times I did it, but by about the third time, they would wave and greet me with lots of “hi s” when I got there. Now, I feel connected with the people from the nursing home and I know I helped make them feel happier and not quite so lonely.Being a responsible citizen means being there for other people, not just looking out for yourself or for your friends. There is an endless variety of ways in which a person could be a responsible citizen: helping someone in need, serving on committees, coaching little children in a sport, etc. But being responsible to me means reaching out past yourself to see what you can do. Its more than just doing my job. Its doing the unexpected to make our city, and even our country, a better place.24. How did the author feel about playing the piano for seniors two years ago?A. He thought it was depressing.B. He considered it challenging.C. He hardly gave it a thought.D. He was eager to accept it.25. Why did the author play the selected songs?A. To teach the elders new songs.B. To involve the elders in the activity.C. To improve the elders taste in music.D. To prepare the elders for a dance party.26. What good did the authors music bring?A. It built up his confidence.B. It brought joy to the nursing home.C. It changed his feelings about music.D. It encouraged creativity among the elders.27. How should a responsible citizen behave according to the author?A. Follow social rulesB. Offer help to others.C. Fulfill your own duties.D. Take exercise regularly.CA new report has concluded that advertising managers are becoming increasingly interested in children. Studies show that children influence about 50 percent of things that families buy, so theyre an attractive target for advertisers.John Taylor, the author of the report, says “Advertisers can reach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many times during school holidays, they can make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmes to attract attention or they can sponsor programmes and show their advertisements just before the programme begins.”Most advertisements aimed at children are short, imaginative and often in the form of animated cartoons(动画片). “Children love the ads and watch them in the same way as any entertainment programme,” Taylor says.Therere concerns about advertising aimed at young people. The concerns are shared by Sarah Durham, a writer and journalist specializing in media analysis. “The most worrying thing is that children dont think carefully when they see television advertisements. Theyre less critical than adults and dont usually realize the advertisement has a persuasive message, to encourage them or their parents to spend as much money as possible on the product or service,” she says.Therere also concerns over the vast sums of money that junk food producers spend on advertising to persuade children to buy their food products. Many advertisements, argues Durham, sell food that is a lot higher in fat, salt and sugar than healthier alternatives. “Many companies target children with offers of free toys, models of cartoon characters and gimmicky(耍花招的) packaging.”Government approaches to controlling advertising to children vary. In Sweden, one of the strictest countries where advertising is concerned, TV advertising to children under the age of 12 is banned. Greece bans television advertisements for childrens toys between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Denmark and the Netherlands also have legal controls whereas France, Britain and Germany prefer selfregulation (自动调节).Some countries are not as certain as the Swedes that advertising to children is harmful. The French argue that children need to see many advertisements so that they can develop their ability to think as they grow up. The belief is that advertising will help children to be more aware of its persuasive power.28. What does John Taylor mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?A. Ways in which advertisers reach childrenB. The time children spend watching television.C. Examples of successful advertising to childrenD. The serious problems of advertising to children29. Why is Sarah Durham concerned about advertising aimed at children?A. TV ads limit childrens imagination.B. TV ads affect childrens brain development.C. Children lack the good sense to make decisions. D. Children may spend lots of time watching television.30. What does Durham say about the food advertised?A. Its tasty. B. Its cheap.C. Its unhealthy. D. Its ready-made.31. What is the Frenchs attitude toward advertising to children?A. Doubtful. B. Relaxed. C. Objective. D. UnfavorableDScientists have finally figured out how the key gene (基因) tied to obesity makes people fat-a major discovery that could open the door to a completely new approach to the problem beyond diet and exercise.The work solves a big mystery: Since 2020, researchers have known that a gene called FTO was related to obesity, but they didnt know how, and could not tie it to appetite (食欲) or other known causes.Now experiments show that a faulty version (缺陷型) of the gene causes energy from food to be stored as fat rather than burned. Genetic tinkering (基因修补) in mice and on human cells in the lab suggests this can be reversed(颠倒), giving hope that a drug or other treatment might be developed to do the same in people.The discovery disputes the idea that “ when people get fat it is basically their own choice because they choose to eat too much or not exercise,” said study leader Melina Claussnitzer, who is a genetics specialist.“A lot of people think obesity is all about eating too much,” but our fat cells play a role in how food gets used, Dr. Clifford Rosen said. With this discovery, “you now have a pathway for drugs that can make those fat cells work differently.”Several obesity drugs are already on the market, but they are generally used for short-term weight loss and are aimed at the brain and appetite. They dont directly target metabolism(新陈代谢).Researchers cant guess how long it might take before a drug based on the new findings becomes available. But its unlikely it would be a magic pill that would enable people to eat anything they want without packing on the pounds. And targeting this fat pathway could affect other things, so a treatment would need strict testing to prove safe and effective.The gene problem doesnt explain all obesity. It was found in 44 percent of Europeans but only 5 percent of blacks, so other genes clearly are at work, and food and exercise still matter.32. What is the finding of the study?A. Everyone has the obesity gene.B. The FTO gene causes obesity.C. The FTO gene increases appetite.D. Diet is the major cause of obesity.33. What does the underlined word “disputes” in Paragraph4 probably mean?A. Supports. B. Explains C. Produces. D. Challenges.34. What do we know about the current obesity drugs?A. They have few side effects.B. They speed up peoples metabolismC. They have proved to be safe and effective.D. They help to take away peoples appetite.35. What is the authors attitude toward the obesity treatment?A. Unconcerned B. Doubtful C. Cautious D.

Most people are familiar with hot, tropical rain forests filled with trees that stay green, year-round. _36_Temperate (温带的) rain forests grow in cooler parts of the world. Monson (季风) rain forests have a dry season and trees that lose their leaves each year. This article will focus on tropical rain forests because they are important to the health of the entire planet.Tropical rain forests grow around the equator in the hot, wet region called the tropics. _37_ At the top of the forest is a thick layer called the canopy (树冠层). It is formed by the spreading branches and thick leaves of tall trees. _38_ The canopy can be between 100 and 170 feet above the ground.The section below the canopy is called the understory. It contains small trees and plants. Many of these are young trees. These small trees generally dont receive enough sunlight to grow into adult trees.On the forest floor, bacteria, fungi (真菌), and insects help to break down dead plants and animals. This process creates a thin, rich top layer of soil that provides nutrients to the roots of the plants and trees. _39_Tropical rain forests grow in many poor countries. Some poor countries sell the wood and other resources of rain forests to make much-needed money. This often means that entire sections of the forest are destroyed. _40_ some of these plants and animals may become extinct if their rain forest habitat is destroyed.A. But there are other kinds of rain forests, too.B. This leads to a problem called global warming.C. Tropical rain forests can be divided into several sections.D. They are found in Southeast Asia and Southern Australia.E. The loss of rain forests endangers many plants and animalsF. The canopy stops much of the sunlight from reaching the area below.G. Because this layer of soil is thin, most of the trees have shallow root systems.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45）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Some people believe that students should be given one or two long vacations each year. Others believe that students should have several _41_ vacations throughout the year. In my opinion, its best for students to have a number of short breaks.School can be a very _42_ experience because students have to work hard all year round. _43_ they get regular breaks in between intensive(集中的) periods of _44_, they will be more _45_. They will be ready to learn new material upon _46_ school. In addition, a change in _47_, even if only for a week, gives one the chance to _48_ while reflecting on ones studies. Many student find that even a short break _49_ them to feel refreshed enough to continue with school.Having many breaks throughout the year is also good for ones _50_life. If people have the chance to catch up with friends and family on a regular basis throughout the year, they will _51_ feel as though they were losing touch with loved ones. Socializing with friends and family is also a(n) _52_ way to relax. If students frequently have this kind of _53_, they will be more at ease and ready for the next semester of school._54_, if the school year is broken down into many short _55_ , the schools will be able to put a greater amount of focus into the courses. Many _56_ find that by the end of a long term, they have _57_ what they learned at the beginning of the term. By having short, intensive study periods, students will quickly _58_ a small amount of knowledge, and thus be able to keep it locked in their minds for a long time._59_, I think that its quite necessary to have several short vacations throughout the year. Students will find that they are more relaxed, and can _60_ focus on their studies all year round.41. A. overseas B. short C. paid D. colorful42. A. memorable B. pleasant C. interesting D. tiring43.
