　　Boxing was long viewed sickly. Generally forbidden by law in earlier days, the fighting was usually done with barefists, and matches often lasted forty or fifty rounds.

　　In 1882 John L. Sullivan, a fighter of great power, won the world heavyweight championship from Paddy Ryan in a bare-fisted battle marked by hitting, scratching, and biting without any rule. Five years later, while fighting Patsy Cardiff at Minneapolis, Sullivan broke his right arm in the third round, but he continued fighting to the sixth round and won. In 1889, Sullivan defeated Jake Kilrain with his bare fists in another championship fight, winning twenty thousand dollars and a diamond prize medal. His admirers talked then of tuning him for the neat governor, but he traveled to Australia for a boxing tour instead, coming back only, to lose his title in a twenty-one-round match with a young Californian named James J. Corbels.

　　“Genfieam James” victory, in this match marked a turning point, for it showed scientific boxing was over strength. But Corbetts' title ended in 1897, when another boxer, Bob Fitssimmons, in less than three seconds, achieved his feats and then Fitzsimmons knocked out an Irishman, won the heavyweight championship of the world, and invented the terrible “solar plexus punch.”

1．Boxing matches in the early days were ________.

[　　]

A．short and bloody

B．usually spare-time competitions

C．governed by strict rules

D．cruel

2．Sullivan held the world's heavyweight title for ________.

[　　]

A．at least seven years

B．only a year

C．five days

D．twenty-one years

3．Sullivan's fight with Kilrain was ________.

[　　]

A．the first boxing championship match

B．a bare-fisted championship fight

C．the last boxing match to be fought barefisted

D．a six-round match

　　Your cellphone holds secrets about you．Besides the names and numbers that you’ve 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－unless you have an identical twin．Scientists today usually analyze DNA in blood, saliva(唾液)or hair left behind at the scene of a crime．The results often help detectives identify criminals and victims．

　　Meghan J．McFadden, a biologist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, heard about a crime in which the suspect bled onto a cellphone and later dropped it．This made her wonder whether traces of DNA remained on cellphones－even when no blood was involved．To find out, she and a colleague collected flip-style(翻盖式)phones from 10 volunteers．They collected invisible traces of the users from two parts of the phone：the outside, where the user holds it, and the speaker, which is placed at the user’s ear．

　　The scientists cleaned the phones using a liquid mixture made mostly of alcohol．The aim of washing was to remove all detectable traces of DNA．The owners got their phones back for another week．Then they returned the phones and the researchers collected traces on each phone once more．They discovered DNA that belonged to the phone’s owner on each of the phones．

　　Surprisingly, DNA was even picked up immediately after the phones were cleaned．That suggests that washing won’t remove all traces of evidence from a criminal’s cellphone．So cellphones can be added to the list of clues that can settle a crime-scene investigation．

(1)

In a crime-scene investigation, now experts are likely to turn to ________．
[　　]
A．	the criminal’s fingerprint
B．	the DNA analysis of physical items

According to the passage, McFadden was inspired by ________．
[　　]
A．	the secrets stored in people’s cellphones
B．	the special characters of DNA
C．	a cellphone-involved case
D．	the challenging job of detectives

(3)

According to the passage, the potential application of the new study would be ________．
[　　]
A．	identifying criminals
B．	designing new cellphones
C．	protecting individual privacy
D．	preventing cellphone-involved crimes

(4)

Which of the following has the closest meaning with the underlined word“identify”in Paragraph 2?
[　　]
A．	imagine
B．	recognize
C．	discover
D．	determine

　　The simplicity of Danish design may extend to the quality of life there．Some even claim that the Danes have the highest quality of life of any nation in the world．

　　Kate Vial, a 55-year-old American who has lived and worked in Denmark for more than 30 years, explaining why she chooses to live in Denmark rather than the US, told Germany's biggest news weekly Der Spiegel：“I just chose a simpler lifestyle, one where I could ride my bike all over and where I don't have to make a great living to survive．”
