A textbook.B.My folks bought their first house in the early 1940s after Dad got a better job in Marquette, Michigan. We lived just inside the city limits in what was still a rural area.In the spring of 1948, when I was 6 years old, my parents bought a calf(小牛)to replace our cow, which had been killed the year before. So one day we drove to a local farm and returned with a white and brown calf we named Tubby.We didnt own a truck, so Tubby rode home in the backseat of Dads car with my 9-year-old brother, Steve, and me. As you can imagine, the trip was a lot of fun for us kids.Later that summer, Mom thought it would be cute to take a picture of me sitting on Tubbys back. All went well until the snap of the camera shutter sent Tubby charging off on a run, with me holding on for dear life. I lasted for about 30 feet before I hit the ground. Mom was quick enough to shoot a follow-up picture, so we had photos of me both on and off Tubby!When summer had passed, the day arrived for poor Tubby to fill our freezer. I must have been somewhere else with my Mom on the fateful day, because I have no memory of how it happened. All I knew was that the barn was empty, and that we had plenty of meat for dinners.I hadnt lived on a farm like my mother, so I didnt understand that what happened to Tubby was not unusual. Livestock arent meant to be pets, and most farm kids know and accept that truth.Whenever we had beef for dinner, I would tearfully ask, “Is this Tubby?” This went on for a couple of weeks until Dad had finally had enough and declared, “No more cows!” That made me feel a little better about poor Tubby.4.The writers parents bought Tubby so that _.A. the family would have enough meat to eatB. it would provide their children with milk.C. they would have more cows in the futureD. they would no longer feel lonely on the farm.5.Which word can be used to describe the authors mom?A.

Steve was not so fond of Tubby as his younger brother.B. the authors mom thought it natural to kill a cow for meat.C. the author had much trouble with Tubby in the summer.D. the author was pleased to see their freezer filled with beef.7.We can most probably read the text above in a website on _.A. dietB. educationC. pets D. animalsC.From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you can feel sweat running down your body, even if youre barely moving at all. Thats what most people in China felt like this summer. In fact, the entire northern hemisphere (半球 )saw high temperatures in July. The Arctic Circle(北极圈) was no exception. Temperatures in the city of Norilsk, which is in the Arctic Circle, reached a record high of 32 , The Atlantic reported. Temperatures there are usually just 10 at this time of the year.The heat wave in the Arctic is mainly a long-term result of global warming, according to the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. In fact, while the whole world is getting warmer, the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet.Thisis called the polar amplification effect(极地放大效应).The most direct influence of Arctic warming is the melting of Arctic ice. According to NASA, Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASA said that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040. This has put some Arctic animals, like polar bears, in danger. The ice that the bears live on has shrunk(缩小), the Toronto Star reported.Melting ice can also cause sea levels to rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levels have risen at a rate of 3.2 cm every 10 years, the Guardian reported. Some countries, such as Tuvalu in the South Pacific Ocean and Maldives in the Indian Ocean, are at risk of disappearing into the sea.8. Which of the following is true?A. The temperatures in Norilsk used to be lower than this summer.B. China is the hottest in the northern hemisphere this summer.C. Some countries in the ocean will disappear in 10 years.D. The world gets warmer because of the heat wave in the Arctic.9. What does the underlined word this in the third paragraph refer to?A. The heat wave in the ArcticB. The result of global warmingC. Getting warmer in the worldD. The Arctic getting warm faster10. What may be the result of the melting of Arctic ice?A. The polar will become dangerousB. Sea levels will rise in the long termC. There will be an end of water shortageD. There will be no ice in the world by 204011. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Some countries may disappear into the seaB. Arctic animals are in dangerC. The world became hotter than beforeD. Heat hits Arctic D. Women are friendly. But men are more competitive. Why? Researchershave found its all down to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently. “Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others. But men tend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status,” said Professor Ryan. Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions such as falling in love or giving birth. But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy. Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship. Professor Ryans recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37.Half of the participants received oxytocin. The other half received placebo(安慰剂). After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same procedure with the other material. Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions. The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, mens ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better. Professor Ryan thus concluded: “Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise peoples abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors that are mainly hormonal.”12.What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text? A. Placebo. B. The social status. C. The gesture. D. Oxytocin.13.What can we learn from Professor Ryans previous experiment? A. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about otherssuccess.B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love. C. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way. D. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand peoples behaviordifferences.14.Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment? A. To know peoples different abilities to answer questions.B. To know the differences between friendship and competition. C. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize socialinteractions.D. To test peoples understanding of body language.15.The author develops the text by_. A. discussing research experiments B. describing his own experiences C. distinguishing sexual differences D. explaining peoples behaviors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。选项中的两项为多途选项。Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables._16_Make a study time and have it at the same time every day.
