12.My mother seemed to be able to make dolls out of anything.She made some dolls for me and my two elder sisters.I(21)D playing with them,but still,secretly,I hoped for a store-bought(22)A like the one our rich cousin had.Her doll(23)C open and close its blue glass eyes and even say"Mamma".I(24)B stopped admiring it and hoping to have one.
However,my dream(25)D came true when I was six.One day my father came back from his business trip with three(26)C dolls!They were much smaller than our cousin's doll and their eyes were just painted ones,but I did not (27)A such differences.They were
(28)B"store-bought"dolls.We each chose one and I named (29)D Misako.

But,by then,(34)C interests seemed to have moved into (35)B toys.Their dolls were abandoned and in bad condition.One had (36)A one of her arms,and (37)A was one-legged."You can (38)B them if you want,"my sisters said to me.Thus,I had (39)D dolls.They were more or less handicapped(残疾)and they often looked at me as if they needed me to (40)D them.I enjoyed this feeling of being needed-being the only one in the world who could protect them with a lot of love.Indeed,they made the rest of my childhood days very happy.

7.Childhood obesity(41)is considered(consider) one of the most serious health challenges of the 21st century.Obesity can(42)harm(harmful) nearly every organ in a child's body---heart and lungs,muscles and bones,kidneys as well as the hormones(荷尔蒙)(43)that/whichcontrol blood sugar and puberty(青春期).What's worse,young people who are overweight or obese are likely to remain so even when they grow into adulthood,(44)increasing(increase)the risk of developing disease and disability later in life.
Globally,an(45)estimated(estimate) 43million preschool children under the age of 5were overweight or obesity in 2010,a 60% increase since 1990.The problem affects countries rich and poor,and places the greatest burden(46)onthe poorest:of the world's 43million overweight and obese preschoolers,35million live in developing countries.By 2020,if the current epidemic(盛行) continues,9% of all preschoolers will be overweight or obese---nearly 60million children.
Obesity rates are higher in adults(47)thanin children.But in relative terms,the U.S.,Brazil,China,and other countries have seen the problem arise more(48)rapidly(rapid) in children than in adults.
Of course,some regions still struggle hard with child(49)hunger(hungry),such as Southeast Asia and Africa.But globalization has made(50)theworld wealthier,and wealth and weight are linked.
17.What are feelings for?Most nonscientists will find it a strange question.Feelings justify themselves.Emotions give meaning and depth to life.They exist without serving any other purposes.On the other hand,many evolutionary biologists acknowledge some emotions primarily for their survival function.For both animals and humans,fear motivates the avoidance of danger,love is necessary to care for the young,and anger prepares one to hold ground.But the fact that a behavior functions to serve survival need not mean that.Other scientists have regarded the same behavior as conditioning and learned responses.Certainly reflexes(反射) and fixed action patterns can occur without feeling or conscious thought.A baby seagull pecks(啄) at a red spot on the bill(喙) of its parent.The seagull parent feeds its baby when pecked on the bill and the baby gets fed.The interaction need have no emotional content.
At the same time,there is no reason why such actions cannot have emotional content.In mammals that have given birth including humans,milk is often released automatically when a new baby cries.This is not under intended control but it is reflex.Yet this does not mean that feeding a new baby is exclusively reflex and expresses no feeling like love.Humans have feelings about their behavior even if it is conditioned or reflexive.Yet since reflexes exist and conditioned behavior is widespread,measurable,and observable,most scientists try to explain animal behavior by using only these concepts.It is simpler.
Preferring to explain behavior in ways that fit science's methods most easily,scientists have refused to consider any causes for animal behavior other than reflexive and conditioned ones.Scientific orthodoxy (正统) holds that what cannot be readily measured or tested cannot exist,or is unworthy of serious attention.But emotional explanations for animal behavior need not be impossibly complex or unstable.They are just more difficult for the scientific method to check on in the usual ways,so cleverer and more skillful approaches are called for.Most branches of science are more willing to make successive evaluation of what may prove ultimately unknowable,rather than ignoring it altogether.

72.The example of the baby seagull pecking the parent's bill is used to support thatB.

4.Joan,super visor (检查员) of the town's morals recently accused George,a local man,of having a drinking problem because she noticed his car outside the town's only bar.She reasoned,it was a logical assumption (逻辑假设).George stared at her for a moment and said nothing.Later that evening,he parked his car in front of her house and left it there all night.
Why is it that so many of our logical assumptions are just plain wrong?And why do we want to act as if they must be true?In an age long before the Internet,a young American at a party found himself seated next to the famous Chinese diplomat Wellington Koo.Completely not knowing what to say to someone from such a different culture,this young man turned and asked,"Likee soupee?"After all,he assumed,don't all Chinese speak in broken English?Mr.Koo smiled and nodded.Later when called upon to speak,Wellington Koo delivered a wonderful talk in fluent English,sat down while the applause was still continuing,turned to the young man and whispered,"Likee speechee?"
Do you know why red roses are so popular?Men keep buying them.They assume that all women prefer red roses.But when women are asked what color of rose is their favorite,they are more likely to answer that they prefer yellow,white or peach.And when asked what kind of flowers they would prefer to receive,the answer is generally not roses at all.The age-old assumption that most women like red roses best is simply not true.
We all make assumptions.They're too often wrong and can easily get us into trouble.So here is what I've learned:when in doubt,check it out.And if I'm not in doubt,I still check it out.We may think we know.But what we know may not be so.So it's best to check it out.
64.According to the passage,we can know George isA
A.clever           B.honest        C.kind-hearted        D.bad-tempered
65.Wellington Koo's experience is mentioned to showB.
A.his talent in speaking English       
B.people's assumption can be false
C.the Chinese were looked down on      
D.his humor in doing with difficult situations
66.Red roses are so popular at the market in thatD.
A.women prefer red roses.                               
B.women like the red color best.
C.they smell pleasant than others.                      
D.men think women would like them.
67.How is this passage mainly developed?A
A.By giving examples.                  B.By presenting research results.
C.By analyzing causes.                 D.By making comparisons.
1.The following are letters to the editor of a school newspaper
Dear editor,
I'd like to express my opinion about grades.Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades.Fortunately,most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities.I understand that grades are useful,but grades often limit creativity.Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music,dramatics and sports.Grades force an arbitrary(武断的) standard of success on everyone.I do not demand as some extremists do,that grades be removed immediately.However,I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades.I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.
Magdalena Smith
Drama Club
Dear editor,
I'd like to say something about grades.Let's face the facts about grades.Grades perform three basic functions.First,grades motivate students to work at their highest level of competence.Second,they act as a reward for hardworking students and as a punishment to students who do not work hard.Finally,grades are used as an effective standard by which to measure student achievement.Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university.I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs,and most of them say that they were hired primarily on the basis of their grades.My grades helped me land a part-time job and will help me get into university next year.I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.
Simon Harper
Science Club

56.Which of the following is not Magdalena Smith's opinion?D
A.Students may give up the chance to learn music and sports for grades.
B.Students'creativity may not be developed for grades.
C.Grades should not be used to measure a person's success.
D.Grades should be taken away at once.
57.We can learn Simon HarperA.
A.believes in the benefits of good grades
B.is concerned about students'creativity
C.doesn't work too hard at his studies
D.supports students'interests and abilities
58.From the second letter,we can infer that Simon Harper is a/anC.
A.teacher    B.headmaster   C.student  D.advertiser.
