Males and females 11 different behaviors almost frombirth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to 12 differences in brain structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets （靶子）and solving math problems 13 women are better at memorizing words and 14 faces. Why the differences?A test of the brains electrical activity shows that women commonlyuse both sides of their brain while men rely more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions one controlling the sense of space, 15 , the other controlling language. Some researchers believethat the different ways men and women use their brains 16from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women 17 the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids.Whatever the 18 , the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed slightly differently, men and women may be equallycapable.

Reading Comprehension.(40 points)AYou want something you cant get by behaving within the rules, and you want it badlyenough youll do it regardless of any guilt or deep regret, and youre willing to run the risk of being caught. Thats how Ladd Wheeler, psychology professor at the University of Rochesterin New York, defines（下定义） cheating. Many experts believe cheating is on the rise. Were suffering a moral breakdown, Pinkard says. Were seeing more of the kind of person whoregards the world as a series of things to be dealt with. Whether to cheat depends on whether its in the persons interest. He does, however, see less cheating among the youngest students. Richard Dienstbier, psychology professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, believes that societys attitudes explain much of the increase in cheating. Twenty years ago if a personcheated in college, that is extremely serious, he will be dropped for a semester if not kickedout permanently, he says. Nowadays, at the University of Nebraska, for example, it is thestated policy of the College of Arts and Science that if a student cheats in an exam, thestudent must receive an F on what he cheated in. Thats nothing. If youre going to fail anyway, why not cheat?

It consisted of a control unit with three other small units. I put the control unit in the sitting room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows. The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 491, the last three numbers of our telephone number.Now I must explain how the alarm works:1. There is a power siren(警报器) in the control unit. It makes a very loud noise.2. Each of the small units sends out beams(光束) or rays in different directions. If anything moves, it breaks a beam. This sends a signal to the control unit. The siren makes a noise that you can hear 50 meters away.3. When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1. Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alarm starts to work.That might I slept soundly because I was sure that no burglar(夜贼) could get into our house. However, at about 2:10a.m., I woke up and heard the siren(警报).“There must be a burglar in the house,” Mary said. “What shall we do?”“Ill go and see whos there,” I said. “Stay here. Dont make a noise.”I went downstairs quietly. When I reached the living room, I switched on my torch and looked round the room. Then I turned the light on. I switched the siren off and searched the rooms downstairs. There was nothing wrong except that the back door was unlocked. I locked it, re-set the alarm and went back to bed.About an hour later, the alarm started again. I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in the dark and bumped into the bedroom door. Mary woke up and started hitting me with a torch. “Hey! Wait a minute!” I whispered. “Its only me. I m going downstairs to see whats wrong.”I went down into the living room and listened for a moment. The only sound I could hear was the siren. I turned on the light and then switched the siren off. As I did so, I glanced across at the curtains in front of the windows. I saw a house lizard (蜥蜴) disappear behind the curtains.“Oh!” I said to myself. “Thats our burglar.”When the lizard moved, it started the siren. I guessed that the alarm had been made in Europe, where there are no house lizards.Well, I wont finish this story but if you want an alarm system free of charge, let me know. Ill send you ours. We bought a dog this morning. It knows the difference between a lizard and a burglar.26. The writer bought an alarm system to .Amake sure that he got up early every dayBwarn him when there were lizards in his houseCfrighten burglars and tell him that somebody had got into the houseDmake Mary feel safe to live in the large room27. The purpose of the three units was to .Asend a message to the control unit and start the sirenBsound their own sirens when the control unit told them toCcheck that the control unit worked properly all the timeDgive them enough light28. If the writer set the alarm and remained in the room for more than half a minute, .Anothing would happenBthe control unit would not workCthe siren would make a noiseDthe dog would bark29. The purpose of the writer in writing the passage is to .Atell us that the alarm system doesnt workBtell us an interesting experienceCshow us how the alarm system worksDmake it clear that he wants to give away his alarm system30 .

Unless watched, she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.Not all cases of Alzheimers disease look like this, but Alzheimers is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimers. In the early stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry. As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brains nerve fibers (神经纤维), their effect is certain. Alzheimers destroys not only the patients, but also spouses (配偶), friends and families.What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimers disease. Though many reasons other than Alzheimers disease may cause memory loss, its early diagnosis (诊断) and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimers disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesnt remember you are married.Life for the Alzheimers patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.31. What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired lady?A.

Become angry and sorrowDI made a pledge(誓言) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical（圣经的）passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love. To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, That new yellow sweater（套头衫） looks great on you.Oh, Tom, you noticed, she said, surprised and pleased.

While 47.5 percent of the respondents felt prices were rather high but still tolerable. Mr. Dou Lanqing, one respondent, said, “The goods in supermarket are apparently more expensive than before. In the meanwhile, I have to pay a bigger bill if my family go out for dinner now.”The report also found that many families began to take different measures to reduce the stress from the increasing prices. It shows that 35.4 percent of those surveyed generally put their money into banks, and that 27.6 percent tended to invest in stocks and mutual funds, down 8.2 percentage points quarter-on-quarter. Besides, most people prefer to work out a family budget. Mr. Dou said, “With a reasonable budget, I can save more than 20% of my money every month, which used to be spent on unnecessary things. As long as we manage our money properly, the increasing prices, I think, should be not that terrible.”写作内容1. 以约30个词概括短文的要点；2. 然后以约120个词就“物价上涨及中学生节省开支”这一话题写一篇发言稿，发表看法，并包括如下要点：（1）你在日常生活中对物价上涨的体会；（2）中学生在日常生活中应如何精打细算，节省开支；（3）呼吁同学们从小事做起，发扬节约的中华美德。写作要求1. 可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子;2发言稿中不能现出真实姓名和学校名称。3. 标题自定。参考答案I. 语法填空1 reported2 richest/wealthiest 3 by 4 when 5 by 6 However 7 younger 8 Bo
