No matter what 28 I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 29 goodbye.I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 30 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have 31 with a test.A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A.

China is among the three countries in the world that carry out agricultural research in space. The others are Russia and the US. Since 1987，China has sent about 1,000 species of seeds into space. These include green peppers，tomatoes，cucumbers（黄瓜），carrots，lettuce and wheat. Even on China’s first manned spacecraft Shenzhou Ⅴ，there were some seeds from Taiwan.“Conditions in outer space such as radiation and low gravity can cause big changes in the seeds，”said Chinese researcher Jin Xing.But not all seeds are better after going to space. After returning to Earth，the best seeds are selected. These seeds produce much more and also grow faster than normal seeds. As the safety of genetically modified food （转基因食品）is still being debated，some people doubt the safety of these “space vegetables” because some of their genes are changed during the trip to space.But Jin holds a more positive view. He said，“Unlike genetically modified crops，no new genes are introduced to the space vegetables，so they are definitely safe.”China has also been cooperating with NASA to grow some super-sized potatoes on the International Space Station. Special growth rooms use computers to control the light，temperature and humidity （湿度）．Using this technology，a new virus free potato can be produced every 40 to 50 days instead of the previous yearly crop.36.Which of the following countries hasn’t carried out agricultural research in space up to the present？A. China.B. Japan.C. Russia.D. The US.37.Once seeds of some vegetables and crops are sent into space and back，.A. not all of them produce bigger cropsB. they are all better than before going to spaceC. small changes are caused in the seeds becauseof radiation and low gravityD. they produce much more and grow faster thannormal seeds38. Jin has no doubt about the safety of the space vegetables because .A. the seeds sent to space are all the same asthose of genetically modified foodB. the seeds sent to space are the bestC. no new genes are brought in them unlikegenetically modified foodD. the space vegetables have already been plantedin special growth rooms39.According to the passage, which statement is true？A. Genetically modified food is not safe.B. The space vegetables don’t belong togenetically modified food to some extent.C. About 1,000 species of seeds were sent intospace on Shenzhou Ⅴ.D. Seeds back from space must be planted inspecial growth rooms controlled by computers.40. The passage is most likely to be found in .A. a news reportB. a history textbookC. a travel magazineD. a science magazineBFood sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.Certain microorganisms（微生物）cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release（释放）poisons that make people sick.Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of those foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous tohumans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.41. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Food when poisoned can make people sick.B. Food poisoning means death.C. Food poisoning comes in varieties.D. Food poisoning can be serious.42. We know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning .A. are always accompanied by a feverB. are too common to be notedC. can be noticed within hoursD. can be ignored43.Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT .A. some chemicalsB. low temperaturesC. some tiny living thingsD. certain natural materials44. From Paragraph 5,we can learn that .A. mushrooms should not be eatenB. vegetables are safer than meat and seafoodC. natural poisons are more dangerous thanchemicalsD. different types of food should be handleddifferently45. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. natural materials are safe in food processingB. chemicals are needed in food processingC. food poisoning can be kept under controlD. food poisoning is out of controlCFirst Man Bear Pig, and now global warming; it seems Al Gore never stops to surprise the world. Recently Al Gore produced the movie An Inconvenient Truth which explained the threats and told us how to control global warming. What it left out is that there is no proof that human activity is even causing global warming, let alone if global warming is even taking place.Global warming is the idea that greenhouse gases that shut in infrared(红外的)radiation in the earth’s atmosphere are becoming more powerful and heating our planet up. The theory is that if the planet continues to heat up the polar ice caps could melt and cover the earth in water.Over the last 100 years the earth has increased one degree in temperature, and sea level has risen millimeters. Even though this “eye-opening”news is taking place, there is no clear proof saying that it is due to global warming. It could be just a regular weather pattern the earth is circulating. The polar ice caps have not grown or reduced in size since man began tracking them. Also the ground-based temperature has remained the same besides growing cities. In fact most clues support the idea that global warming is not taking place and human activity isn’t causing any earth to melt down.Although Al Gore insists the world is on its way to certain destruction, the facts say otherwise. It seems that driving to work won t lead to the doom(末日)of mankind, and the movie Water World won’t be happening any time soon.46. It is likely that Al Gore .A. is concerned about the threat of globalwarmingB. holds that man doesn’t cause global warmingC. knows how to stop global warming successfullyD. doesn’t believe global warming is taking place47. Global warming is the idea generally about .A. greenhousesB. infrared radiationC. greenhouse gasesD. the atmosphere48. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The earth has risen 1℃in temperature in thelast century.B. The sea level is incredibly higher than any timebefore.C. Some people are upset at the news of globalwarming.D. The polar ice caps haven’t grown or reduced insize.49. The author believes that .A. most proofs support global warming ishappeningB. human activity contributes little to globalwarmingC. driving to work will lead to the end of mankindD. a “Water World” will be happening very soon50. can be the best title of the passage.A. A Threatening Film by Al GoreB. The Causes of Global WarmingC. The Doom of Mankind?D. The Polar Ice Melt Down!DNext time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation （感觉）of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.Psychologists have known that one person’s perception （感知）of another’s “warmth”is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm”or “cold”is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold”person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958,showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother”rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother”carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.Feelings of “warmth”and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm”or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses（假设），handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly, ”says Bargh.51. According to Paragraph 1,a person’s emotionmay be affected by .A. the visitors to his officeB. the psychology lessons he hasC. his physical feeling of coldnessD. the things he has bought online52. The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that .A. adults should develop social skillsB. babies need warm physical contactC. caregivers should be healthy adultsD. monkeys have social relationships53. In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to .A. evaluate someone’s personalityB. write down their hypothesesC. fill out a personal information formD. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively54. We can infer from the passage that .A. abstract thinking does not come from physicalexperiencesB. feelings of warmth and coldness are studiedworldwideC. physical temperature affects how we see othersD. capable persons are often cold to others55. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Drinking for Better Social RelationshipsB. Experiments of Personality EvaluationC. Developing Better Drinking HabitsD. Physical Sensations and EmotionsIV.书面表达（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）［1］Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends? Do you frequently ignore work, study, and other activities to check your phonefor messages? Are you anxious and restless if you areseparated from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs hurt from texting too much?［2］If ,then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages ,which takes precedence (优先) over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.［3］So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication.56. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?(no more than 5 words)57. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 8 words)58. What emotional difficulties may be the causes of text addiction?(no more than 5 words)①②③59. What do experts say about text addiction?(no more than 14 words) 60. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?(no more than 8 words)第二节写作（满分30分）5月4日，一班和二班之间将进行一次有关环保问题的演讲比赛（a talk show on environment protection）。
