B In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur dAlene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never far away. We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Moms vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didnt care much about my bedtime. Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel（桶） of paint but couldnt really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home. Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. I hadnt turned 5 yet. As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school? As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder（驾雪橇者） , I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didnt realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped（包裹） heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather. In 1950, we moved back to Coeur dAlene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska. 35.

C A schoolgirl saved her fathers life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic(过敏的 ) reaction which stopped his heart . Izzy , nine ,restarted father Colms heart by stamping(踩 )on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing . Izzys mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so decided to use CPR . However, she quickly discovered her arms werent strong enough, so she stamped on her fathers chest instead. Debbie them took over with some more conventional chest compressions(按压 ) until the ambulance arrived . Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said： “I just kicked him really hard ,My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasnt strong enough to use hands .I was quite scared .The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse, My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest .” “Shes a little star,” said Debbie, “I was really upset but Izzy just took over . I just cant believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up, Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and weve got to see an expert.” Truck driver Clom, 35, suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital, but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day. The second attack was so serious that his airway swelled, preventing him from breathing, his blood pressure dropped suddenly, and his heart stopped for a moment.

To prove the importance of CPR. C. To report a 9-year-old girls brave act. D .To call peoples attention to allergic reaction. D With around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes； it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas（睡衣） .Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule. All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting（警报 ） systems, this governs the sleep/ wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep. This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds”the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday. 43. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1? A. Many students are absent from class. B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings. C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well. D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays. 44. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2? A. Most students prefer to get up late in the morning. B. Students dont sleep well because of alerting systems. C. Ones body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently. D. Adolescents delayed sleep/wake cycle isnt the preferred pattern. 45. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”? A. Criticised. B. Grouped. C. Organised. D. Named. 46. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Functions of the body clock. B. The “night owl” phenomenon. C. Human beings sleep behaviour. D. The school schedule of “early bird”. E Women are friendly. But men are more competitive, Why? Researchers have 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 exytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interaction（互动） 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（参与者） 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 factor（因素） that are mainly hormonal.” 47. What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text? A. Placebo. B. Oxytocin. C. The gesture. D. The social status. 48. What can we learn from Professor Ryans previous experiment? A. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way. B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love. C. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others success. D. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand peoples behavior differences. 49. Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment? A. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions. B. To know the differences between friendship and competition. C. To know peoples different abilities to answer questions. D. To test peoples understanding of body language. 50. The author develops the text by _. A. explaining peoples behavior B. describing his own experiences C. distinguishing sexual differences D. discussing research experiments 第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项多余选项。（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分） Mary: Mike, how do I look in these blue jeans?

As he was approaching 60, I had a fun idea: What if I could get the memories people had of him, put each one into an envelope60 in totaland have him open them, one by one, on his birthday? So I wrote an e-mail to family and friends, explaining my idea. I sent the e-mail and waited. And then the replies started coming in and I was very, very surprised. There were so many memories, and they were all so lovely. They came from the 50s, 60s,70s, from every decade（十年） between now and the day my dad was born. They came from my mother, my siblings, my grandma, my dads friends from high school, his sister, my dads first boss, a colleague at his first job, from people who hadnt seen my dad in 40 years, from people I myself hadnt even informed. They typed them and handwrote them. They mailed the
