Reading Comprehension (35%)Section A (15%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Your cell phone holds secrets about you. Besides the names and 50 that youve programmed into it, traces of your DNA remain on it, according to a new study.DNA is genetic material that appears in every cell. Like your fingerprint, your DNA is unique to you 51 you have an identical twin. Scientists today routinely analyze DNA in blood, saliva (唾液), or hair 52 behind at the scene of a crime. The results often help detectives identify 53 and their victims. Your cell phone can 54 more about you than you might think.Meghan J. McFadden, a scientist at McMaster University1in Hamilton, Ontario, heard about a crime in which the suspect（嫌疑犯）bled onto a cell phone and later dropped the 55 . This made her wonder whether traces of DNA remained on cell phones _ even when no blood was involved. 56 she and colleague Margaret Wallace of the City University of New York analyzed the phones of 10 volunteers. They used swabs(药签) to collect 57 traces of the users from two parts of the phone: the outside, where the user holds it, and the 58 , which is placed at the users ear.The scientists scrubbed（清洗） the phones using a liquid made mostly of alcohol. The aim of washing was to 59 all detectable (可查明的) traces of DNA. The owners got their phones back for another week. 60 the researchers collected the phones and repeated the swabbing of each phone once more.The scientists discovered DNA that 61 to the phones owner on each of the phones. Better samples were collected from the outside of each phone, but those swabs also 62 DNA of other people who had apparently also handled the phone. 63 , DNA showed up even in swabs that were taken immediately after the phones were scrubbed. That suggests that washing wont remove all traces of evidence from a criminals device. So cell phones can now be added to the 64 of clues that can settle a crime-scene investigation.50.

Yet these “brain exercises” can make us all up to 40 percent cleverer within seven days, according to a BBC program shown last week. “IQ has traditionally been thought of as a fixed measure of someones intelligence,” said Philip Morrow, executive producer of the program, Get Smarter in a Week. “But an increasing body of scientific opinion holds that you can take steps in your life to actually improve your brainpower. You can do it by, for example, enhancing your memory, working on your spatial (空间的) awareness, doing things differently to normal and eating healthily. Scientists say you will see noticeable improvements within a week.” The program put scientists growing belief that lifestyle changes influences intelligence to test. The BBC production team earlier did trial runs among 15 volunteers, who each followed a “get smarter” schedule for a week. What they found was that some performed up to 40 percent better than in the initial assessment, 10 percent. “This program shows everyone can get smarter, and feel better, if they do these simple things,” said Morrow.65.This BBC program is trying to prove the idea that _.A. Brainpower is what one is born with and can not be enhancedB. One can improve his brainpower by living a different lifestyleC. Once a persons IQ is measured, it is fixed and will never changeD.

They cling to(舍不得放弃)childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens themKidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood“So，they can escape from increasingly complex and stressful lives that are hard to deal with，Greenhalgh said 68.

Bob had just drawn up a “motherhood contract” stating that for 70 days this summer he would take over the care and feeding of their four children, plus all housework. Although he didnt even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was quite sure that he could make it. ( He thought the experience would make a good book.)After 40days of the 70 days, he was ready to give up. “I was completely beaten down,” admitted Bob. Three weeks later, he spoke to the local press ( also part of the contract), saying, “ Not only is motherhood a difficult task , not only is it never-ending, it is an impossible job for a normal human being.”Bob and Pat were high school sweethearts. After they were married in 1999, she worked as a secretary to help put him through university. Since then Bob has been the football and wrestling coach at Ahos Cubberly High School while Pat raised the kids.Then two years ago Pat went back to work as a secretary at Cubbery. “ I had been around the children so much,” she complained, “I couldnt talk to a grown-up.” She continued to do the household, however, until Bob signed the contract, whereupon, she decided to relax and enjoy it.Although Peters had asked for help from his schools home economics teachers and head of the cafeteria, his meals were sometimes a disaster. “I tried to slip the butter Id forgotten under the eggs after they were frying,” he said. For the last three weeks, the family ate out a lot- sometimes having Macdonalds hamburgers for lunch and dinner.As for housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looked clean if the bed is made. “I found an easy way- I shut the doors,” he said. Soon the kids were wearing the same clothes for a week. “I made them wear their shirt inside out, and when we went to pick up Pat at work, they turn the right side out so they would look clean.”Now that Bob has publicly admitted that he was wrong, he is sharing the child-raising and housework with Pat. The title of his book about the summer is taken from something that he shouted at the kids one day.71. The couple signed the contract just because_ .A.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.According to a recent worldwide survey of internet users, one out of four says they made their most recent purchase online and six out of ten say friends social media posts influence their online purchases. Those statistics have now given some users of the “Moments” function on WeChat the idea of turning their friends into customers.The “Moments” function on Wechat is a closed system that allows you to send photo and messages only to your friends. It ensures more privacy and prevents your accounts receiving spam from marketers or comments from trolls. But some users were quick to see the commercial opportunities of “Moments” and have turned it into a mini-marketplace. They are “recommending” items to their friends and offering to either sell the item directly or act as a middle-man for the purchases.One woman told Shanxi Evening News that she ma
