17．Even after I ______ to soil science，I sometimes wondered whether 1was doing what I wanted to do．（　　）

7．I fell in love with music from a young age and often sat down making a few songs of my own．What would life be like，I wondered，without a beautiful song？In 1992，I made two love songs to my darling wife and watched tears run down her face as I sang．"Sam，"she said earnestly，"Your songs should be heard by more people，"
She got my ballads and started bothering various media people about me，her singing barber husband．Two radio stations took an interest and played the songs．After the programme was aired，I became known in our community as the Singing Barber．
The biggest surprise，however，was still to come．I received a call from a music promoter who offered me a long-term recording contract．He explained that he would be investing a lot of money to market my songs．I needed to be wholly focused on selling my records all over Australia．
    But I hesitated．
    My friends all told me to go for it．And Mary also thought I should do．"Go，Sam．I'll manage with the family…it'll be OK．"
I watched my daughter and son playing in the backyard．Soon they would both be in high school…and where would I be？I was so used to my family turning to me for love and support．If I were to start a singing career，I would not only miss them terribly，I'd also certainly miss out on watching them grow up．Signing this contract would put a huge gap between my family and me…and I couldn't bear it．My family was my life．So I refused the music promoter's offer．I'm still making music，I'm rich in love and I have no regrets．

56．When the author was offered the contract，most of his friendsC．
    A．envied him                           B．laughed at him
    C．encouraged him                       D．didn't believe him
57．Why did the author give up the contract？D
    A．Because his wife was strongly against it．
    B．Because the pay was not attractive enough．
    C．Because he wanted to care about his two kids．
    D．Because he didn't want his family life damaged．
58．According to the passage，we can infer the authorB．
    A．used to be a country singer                    B．preferred his present life
    C．went on the road to fame                       D．regretted giving up his contract
59．What does the author mainly intend to tell us？C
    A．One should know himself．           B．Interest is the best teacher．
    C．Family should come first．          D．Every dog has its day．

14．The report shows that we are making some progress that we need to make greater efforts．（　　）

11．A recent finding has showed that blue-eyed people have already been living in Europe for at least 7，000years．
A man who lived on the Iberian Peninsula before Europeans became farmers probably had blue eyes but dark hair and skin，according to scientists who have arranged his DNA in order．This surprising combination of eye，hair and skin coloring may not have been unusual during his lifetime，but it is no longer seen among modem Europeans，reported by the journal Nature．
The man，a Neolithic hunter-gatherer known to scientists as La BranaⅠ，is of great interest to scientists because he offers a brief introduction to what was in Europeans'DNA before agriculture spread through the continent．Experts have theorized that certain genetic feature spread quickly among humans after they adopted the farming lifestyle．La BranaⅠshows that at least some of their predictions were correct．
The man's skeleton，along with that of a male companion，was discovered in 2006in a cave in what is now northeastern Spain．The site，known as La Brana-Arintero，sits about 5，000feet above sea level，and the cave provided a cold，refrigerator-like environment that preserved his DNA．
In the lab，scientists were able to remove enough DNA from a single tooth to reconstruct La BranaⅠ's entire genome （基因组）．They compared it to the DNA of other ancient Europeans（including Otzi，the 5，300-year-old mummy found in an Alpine glacier） and determined that he was a closer match with hunter-gatherers than with farmers．
When it came to genes that would influence La BranaⅠ's appearance，the researchers found that their 7，000-year-old subject had versions of two skin pigment（色素） genes that are either very rare or nonexistent among Europeans today．Then they looked at other places in the genome that influence pigmentation（色素沉着）and found a mix of ancient and modern gene variants（变种）．Taken together，La BranaⅠ's DNA"is likely to have resulted in dark skin pigmentation and dark or brown hair，"they wrote．
However，his DNA indicates that his eyes were most likely blue，the scientists found．This suggests that gene variants for light-colored eyes and skin did not spread together，they wrote，adding that La BranaⅠ's combination"of dark skin and non-brown eyes is unique and no longer present in contemporary European populations．"Today，a blue-eyed person would typically have fair skin．To get some idea of whether La BranaⅠ's coloring was unusual for his day，the researchers will try to arrange in order the DNA of his companion，who has been named La BranaⅡ．
32．Scientists have carried out the research into La BranaⅠbecause they wanted to know
C．
A．today's Europeans'DNA
B．the ancient agriculture in Europe．
C．European hunter-gatherers'DNA．
D．the correctness of some of their predictions
33．La BranaⅠ's skeleton was best preserved mainly because ofB．
A．the height of the cave
B．the cold condition in the cave
C．the location of the cave
D．the wet condition in the cave
34．Which of the following statements is TRUE？B
A．La BranaⅠ's gene variants spread together．
B．La BranaⅠ's DNA influences his appearance．
C．Today's blue-eyed person may typically have rough rather than fair skin．
D．La BranaⅠ's gene is completely different from the contemporary Europeans'．
35．The last paragraph suggests thatC．
A．La BranaⅡhas the same genome with La BranaⅠ．
B．Blue-eyed people were common in Europe 7，000years ago．
C．It's not certain that La Brana's appearance was common at that time．
D．BranaⅠ's combination of dark skin and non-brown is popular in contemporary Europeans．

15．Car makers have long told this story to Americans："We don't have the technology to build good electric cars．Customers don't want electrics because they are so unattractive，slow and hard to charge．We would build them if only people wanted them．"Chris Paine casts serious doubt on that story in his hard-hitting documentary film，Who Killed the Electric Car？The title suggests a murder mystery，and that's what Paine provides．Well，some of it is a mystery．We know the victim from the start-an electric car called the EV1．Also，we can see that Paine will largely blame the General Motors Corporation （GM）．
GM built the EV1 because the California Air Resources Board （CARB） ruled that cars in the state had to stop adding pollution to the air．The EV1，being electric，did not bum gasoline or put out any pollution．With technology available in 1990，GM had no trouble producing a car that could go 100 miles on a single charge and could recharge from an ordinary household electrical outlet．Remember the auto companies'claim that they don't have good electric-car technology？If that were true，the EV1 would never have been born．The company made 1000 EV1s and leased them to customers in Southern California．（In a lease，a customer does not own a car but pays to use it for a certain time．）
Because of its anti-pollution rule，CARB was sued （起诉） by oil companies，car companies，and the federal government．Under such pressure，CARB dropped its rule．No longer needing the EV1 to obey California's rules，GM responded by attacking its own child．The company ran advertisements saying how bad the EV1 was．Company representatives went on TV and radio shows to say it was unreliable．The company wanted to get the cars back and destroy them．The fact that EV1 were leased，not sold，is an important part of Paine's tale．GM still owned every car and could legally take them back．A few of them went to museums，but GM crushed most of them flat．If EV1s had been owned by their drivers，they would probably still be on the road．Many people who drove them loved them．In fact a group of EV1 drivers offered GM $1.8 million to buy a large number of cars and keep them going．GM refused．The company wanted the car to disappear．
Paine's criticism of the car industry，Washington's close relationships with the oil industry，and California's state government are harsh．Each，he says，played a role in the murder of the EV1．Each has also defended itself in the wake of the film，but Paine's excellent documentary will be hard for them to dismiss．

74．What's Paine's attitude towards car makers'story？C
A．Supportive． B．Indifferent． C．Doubtful． D．Neutral．
75．The E VI is invented toB．
A．show the advanced technology of GM
B．obey California's rules about air pollution
C．help those who can't afford to buy a car
D．get rid of the cars burning gasoline
76．Which of the following statements is TRUE about EV1s？D
A．They are not popular because their users don't like them．
B．They are not reliable because of technical problems．
C．They need special equipment to get them charged．
D．They are owned by GM rather than customers．
77．What can be inferred from Paine's documentary？B
A．CARB is to blame for the murder of the EV1．
B．The drive of profits leads to the disappearance of the EV1．
C．People can no longer see EV1s because they have been destroyed．
D．Pressures from car-related companies forced CARB to stick to its rules．
