7．Height is just one of the thousands of features that your genes decide．In fact，because you have parents，your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent．If both your parents are tall，then most probably you will be tall，too．But if you have questions about how tall you're going to b e，ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out．
      But genes don't decide everything．For example，eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential．Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height．
      No doubt you're wondering how fast you should grow．There's no perfect or right answer．Generally speaking，kids grow about two inches （six centimeters） a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty．（青春期）．
      Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years．How you've been growing up to this point，and what other changes your body may be going through．
       Don't be scared if you have grown a lot in a very short time．Everyone has a growth spurt （高峰） during puberty．The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys．But it can be earlier or later---between 7 and 9 and 15 for boys．
      You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty．

C．the time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed．

13．奶奶看报时睡着了．While grandma was reading newspapers，she fell asleep．．
11．Health officials in Canada are very busy these days．They are placing chickens at fixed po ints all along their 2，500km border （边境） with the United States of America．
It's not a joke，nor have the Canadians gone mad．They are using these chickens to see if the West Nile virus （病毒） is still around．The virus infects birds，so the chickens have a chance of catching the virus and fall ill．The West Nile virus is spread among humans．It killed seven people in New York last year．
Countries around the world are realizing that it may just be possible to stop certain kinds of people from entering their land．However，it is very difficult to stop viruses traveling from one end of the earth to another．When they travel to new places，they get used to the environment very easily and sometimes start destroying the local plant and animal life．These biological polluters are called smart polluters．
These smart polluters can be carried across borders of countries unknowingly．Just as we humans are travelling across the world more often than earlier，these biological polluters have also started journey much more．They slide into airplanes through their wheels．They dig into objects that travelers may be carrying from one country to another．
There are some good examples of how these polluters work．The water hyacinth （水葫芦） of South America is blocking lakes in China and Africa．Tree snakes from Papua New Guinea are busy eating up some birds in the country of Guam，which breaks its natural balance．
That's why the customs （海关） officials in many foreign countries prevent people from bringing in a small plant，or an object made of wood that is in its natural form．The customs officials have these rules because these varieties （多样性） of plants are special to certain places．The plants have the power to spread new illnesses among native plants and animals．Biological polluters always create problems in places where they do not belong．They could be special varieties of plants，bugs or even animals．
48．Why are Canadian officials placing chickens along the border？B
A．To help clean up the border．
B．To see if the virus is still around．
C．To protect the chickens from falling ill．
D．To make sure that the birds can find food．
49．Which of the following is TRUE？C
A．People find it difficult to travel from one place to another．
B．Plants always create problems in places where they belong．
C．Biological polluters may destroy the local plant and animal life．
D．Viruses spend a long time getting used to the local environment．
50．Customs officials in many countries prevent people from bringing inD．
A．chocolates
B．shoes
C．pictures
D．plants

2．Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents，however，it is not true．Communication （ 勾通）is a problem for parents and children of all ages．If it's hard for you to com?municate with your parents，don't worry about it．Here are some suggestions for you to bridge gen?eration gap（代沟）．
Don't argue with your parents．Don't get to your parents when you are angry．Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them．You can't express yourself well if you are angry．Go to someplace to cool off．Make sure you understand why you are unhappy．Then think about what you want to say to your parents．If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment，try writing a letter．
Try to reach a compromise （和解）．Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something．You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other．Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a car．They argued over it，but finally they came to a compromise．Michael bought the car，but only drove it on certain days．
Of course your parents might refuse to compromise on something．In these situations，it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them．Showing respect will keep your relation?ship strong．
Talk about your values．The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own．Tell your parents what you care about，and why．Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life．
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person．It is worth having a try．
46．From the passage we knowC have a communication problem．
A．parents and children of all ages             B．children and other people
C．parents and their school children          D．teachers and ihcir students
47．Your parents probably will consider your ideas if youB．
A．don't express yourself well                    B．speak to them politely
C．don't write a letter to them                    D．don't talk to them

A．make yourself happy                B．make yourself quiet and relaxed
C．become angry                           D．go away
49．If you and your parents have a generation gap，you'd betterC．
A．keep away from them                   B．agree with them all the time
C．have a talk with them and make your values known to them       D．argue with them
50．Most of the passage tells us thatC．

12．Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work．Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home．And every night，I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep．Can weimagine life without paper or print？
  Paper was first created about 2，000 years ago，and has been made from silk，cotton，bamboo，and since the 19th century，from wood．People learned to write words on paper to make a book．But in those days，books could only be produced one at a time by hand．As a result，they were expensive and rare．And because there weren't many hooks，few people learned to read．
 Then printing was invented in China．When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century，books could be produced more quickly and cheaply．As a result，more people learned toread．After that，knowledge and ideas spread quickly．
    Today information canbe received online，downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books，and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players．
      Computers are already used in classrooms，and newspapers and magazines can already be read online．So will books be replaced by computers one day？No，I don't think the Yao Ming posteron my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!

19．Every year on my birthday，from the time I turned 12，a white gardenia （栀子花） was sent to my house．No card came with it．Calls to the flower shops were not helpful at all．After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's name and was just very pleased with the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper．
But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be．Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender．My mother encouraged this imagining．She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness．Perhaps it was the old man who I looked after when he was ill．As a girl，I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy．
One month before my graduation，my father died．I felt very sad and didn't want to go to the coming graduation dance at all．And I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not．But my mother，in her own sadness，would not let me miss any of those things．She wanted he children to feel loved and lovable．In truth，my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely，strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery．
My mother died ten days after I was married．I was 22．That was the year the gardenia stopped coming．

51．Which statement is true according to the passage？C

16．    I bought a jasmine plant for my office．When I bought it，I was told it would bloom（开花）and the sweet smell would fill my office．I had the plant for two months，and every day I looked at it，but there weren't any flowers or pleasant smell．I was not happy，so I gave the plant to my friend Linda．
    One day，another friend Mary called and invited me to her office．When I walked in，her jasmine flowers surprised me．I reached out to touch the flowers．Mary cut some and gave them to me．I couldn't help smelling them．Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers，I suddenly understood something．
    Mary bought her plant the same time I did．It took a year for her jasmine to bloom．I was so impatient for mine to bloom； regretfully，I gave it away．
    In a way my life is like the jasmine plant．I need to be patient and let things happen．
    Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week．Before she left，she returned the plant to me．This time I am going to wait．I have learned that when we want something in our life，we have to be patient．I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom．

17．In 1880，fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea．One day he made up his mind．Baltimore was the nearest large seaport（海港）．The next morning he set out on the forty-mile journey to try to find （16）D on a sailing ship．
In Baltimore，Henson found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship．For the next five years，Henson（17）A around the world．With the help of the ship's captain and other members of the crew，Henson learned mathematics，history，geography，and many other（18）B．
Unable to find work anywhere else，Henson took a job in a （19）Ashop in Washington，D．C．One day in 1887，a man came in to buy a hat．The man，Lieutenant Robert Peary，asked the owner if he knew anyone with （20）Cat sea．Peary would soon travel to South America for the U．S．government．He needed experienced men to go with him．
The shop owner knew about the young man's skills and experience on ocean journeys，（21）Ahe introduced Peary to Henson．Using his map-reading and sailing skills，Henson proved（22）Cto be a worthy and smart seaman．One day Peary told Henson about his real dream：to be the first man to stand on"the top of the world"at the North Pole．He asked Henson to help him make his dream（23）A．
Over the next five years，the two explorers（探险家） made two trips together to the Arctic（北极）．However，they were not able to reach the pole either time．The cold，wind，and ice were（24）Cthan either of them had ever imagined．
In 1908，Peary and Henson were ready to make their final challenge at reaching the North Pole．With four guides，they made a mad dash straight across the ice．Peary's feet were so frostbitten（冻僵的） that he had to be pulled on a dogsled．（25）D April 1909，Henson's instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole．Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow．
