You can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair — not just whether they brush, spray or blow-dry. Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The finding could help solve crimes, among other useful applications.

Water is central to the new technique. The liquid makes up more than half an adult human’s body weight. Our bodies break water down into hydrogen(氢) and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues, fingernails, and hair.

But not all water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. In the case of hydrogen, for example, there are three types according to their weights. Each type is called a hydrogen isotope(同位素). And depending on where you live, tap water contains different isotopes.

Can hair record this information? That’s what James R. Ehleringer, an environmental chemist at the University of Utah, wondered. To find it out, he and his colleagues collected hair from hair stylists in 65 cities across the United States. Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days, the researchers have found that people’s hair has the same isotopes as found in local tap water. That’s probably because people usually cook their food with the local water.

Authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals or crime victims and narrow their search for clues. For example, one hair sample used in Ehleringer’s study came from a man who had moved from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. As his hair grew, it reflected his change in location.

1.What do we know about the hydrogen isotopes according to Paragraph 3?

A. They are classified by size.

B. Each type of them differs in weight.

C. They can improve the quality of tap water.

D. Some of them cannot combine with oxygen.

2.Why is it possible to know where people are from by analyzing their hair?

A. People use the same bottled water.

B. People wash their hair in different ways.

C. People’s hair is affected by the weather of the places they stay.

D. People’s hair indicates the type of water in the places they stay.

3.The last paragraph is mainly to show _______.

A. how to recognize criminals B. how to collect hair samples

C. the usefulness of hair analysis D. the process of Ehleringer’s study

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Water composition B. Change your hair

C. Hair detectives D. No way out
14．In the summer of 2014，about 17million people posted videos of themselves dumping （倾倒） ice water over their heads．Even many famous people，including singer-songwriter Taylor Swift，basketball player LeBron James，and former U．S．President George W．Bush，took part．Why did they do such a strange thing？
Those in the Ice Bucket Challenge all helped raise  awareness  （意识）  and money  to  fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis （ALS），a deadly disease．It is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease，after a famous baseball player who had it．It destroys neurons （nerve cells） that control muscle （肌肉） movement．
Each year，about 5，600people in the U．S．are diagnosed （诊断） with ALS．The disease leads to the inability to move．Many people die two to five years after learning they have it．Right now，there's no right treatment for ALS．But the Ice Bucket Challenge may help lead to one．
"Before  the  Ice  Bucket  Challenge，few people knew about this terrible disease，"Jonathan Ling said．He is one of the scientists at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland．His team was unable to complete its research without the money raised through the Ice Bucket Challenge，Ling says．
Through their research，Ling and his team discovered that a protein （蛋白质 ） is damaged in most ALS patients．The scientists also found that nerve  cells with these damaged proteins  die quickly．But when the scientists put a new protein that acted like the damaged one into the nerve cells，the neurons came back to life!
Thanks  to  the  team's  research，experts believe they may be one step closer to a treatment that slows down or even stops ALS．Still，more research needs to be done，Ling admits．With that in mind，the ALS Association is promising that the Ice Bucket Challenge will continue every August until a good treatment is found．
32．What can we learn about ALS？A
A．No one knows how to treat the disease．
B．It is also named after a singer．
C．People will die a few days after they have it．
D．It can make people lose the ability to hear．
33．What might be Ling's attitude to the Ice Bucket Challenge？D
A．Worried．
B．Doubtful．
C．Uninterested．
D．Thankful．
34．According to the text，Ling's teamC
A．knows little about ALS
B．is now short of money
C．has made some progress
D．needs more researchers
35．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．How the Ice Bucket Challenge started
B．The Ice Bucket Challenge and ALS
C．Jonathan Ling，great ALS researcher
D．Some little-known facts about ALS．
13．你的英国朋友Jim所在的学校要组织学生来中国旅行，有两条线路可以选择："长江之行"或者"泰山之旅"．Jim来信希望你能给些建议．请你给他回信，内容包括：
1．你建议的线路；
2．你的理由；
3．你的祝愿．
注意：
1．词数不少于50；
2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数．
Dear Jim，
I am glad to learn that you are coming to visit China．
Of the two routes given by your school，I strongly recommend that the trip to the Yangtze River deserve the effort．For one thing，you can experience rich Chinese culture along the river，which has been handed down from generation to generation； For another，the river，extending as long as 6300 kilometres，runs through different parts of China．As a result，it can provides splendid landscape of different kinds．
I believe that the trip，both relaxing and rewarding，is bound to be a memorable experience for you．
Yours，
Li Hua．
