第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

A
It was Molly’s job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work.
One morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him a second paper bag. This one was worn and held together with staples(订书钉)。
“Why two bags?” her father asked.“The other is something else,” Molly answered.“What’s in it?” “Just some stuff. Take it with you.”
Not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both bags into his briefcase, kissed Molly and rushed off. At midday he opened Molly’s bag and took out the contents: two hair ribbons(丝带), three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny sea shell, a small doll, and 13 pennies… The busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, Molly’s stuff included.
That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper.
“Where’s my bag?” “What bag?” “The one I gave you this morning.” “I left it at the office. Why?” “I forgot to put this note in it,” she said.“And, besides, Daddy, the things in the bag are the things I really like — I thought you might like to play with them. You didn’t lose the bag, did you, Daddy?”
“Oh, no,” he said, lying. “I just forgot to bring it home. I’ll bring it tomorrow.” While Molly hugged her father’s neck, he unfolded the note that read: “I love you, Daddy.” Molly had given him her treasures — all that a 7-year-old held dear. Love in a paper bag, and he missed it — not only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket. So he went back to the office. Just ahead of the night janitor(看门人), he picked up the wastebasket. He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully. The bag didn’t look so good, but the stuff was all there and that’s what counted. After dinner, he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack. It took a long time to tell. Everything had a story or a memory.“Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life,” he thought. We should all remember that it’s not the destination that counts in life, but the journey. That journey with the people we love is all that really matters. It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten.
21、Why did Molly give her father a second bag?
A. She didn’t want to keep the things in the bag.
B. She hoped those things would bring happiness to her father.
C. She wanted to remind her father of the stories behind the things.
D. She enjoyed playing with her father.
22. How did father deal with the bag after he opened it?
A. He kept it in the drawer.                              B. He took it back home.
C. He threw it into the wastebasket                      D. He put it on his table.
23. Which of the following is the most suitable title of the passage?
A. An important journey     B. Two bags             C. Father and daughter      D. Love in a paper bag

B

C
I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled（贴标签）everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled（爬）under her covers, sobbing.
Obviously, that was not something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.
28. What made Kate so angry one evening?
A. She got the news that her grandma was ill.           B. She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed.
C. She heard the author shouting loud.                     D. She couldn’t find her books.
29. The author tidied up the room most probably because _______.
A. she hated herself for being so messy                   B. she was scared by Kate’s anger
C. she was asked by Kate to do so                         D. she wanted to show her care
30.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?
A. By analyzing causes                                      B. By describing a process
C. By showing differences                                   D. By following time order
31.What might be the best title for the story?
A. Learning to Be Roommates                              B. Hard Work Pays Off
C. How to Be Organized                                     D. My Friend Kate

D
An Australian-based scientist announced yesterday he had made a step forward in forensic (用于法庭的) DNA testing so that an individual can be identified by a single cell.     
Ian Findlay, from the Australian Genome Research Facility at the University of Queensland, said current DNA testing required 200 to 500 cells to gain a similar level of accuracy. "What we have done has brought that down to one cell," Dr Findlay said after releasing details of his DNA testing technique at a Sydney conference.    
The technology could allow investigators to pick up DNA identities from plastic cards and even build up a complete history of the people who have handled a paper document.
"Youˈd have to wear a space suit to stop yourself from leaving traces. You can identify cells on the paper, so you can work out where itˈs come from and whoˈs touched it,” he said.
The technique could also be used to trace the thrower of a punch（打孔）from cells left behind on the skin of their victim. Even the wearing of latex（橡胶）gloves would not help: small cells can pass through the gloves, and the constant flow of genetic material given off by the human body would leave further evidence.
"We gained a skin cell from a document dating back 30 years and managed to gain a DNA fingerprint. DNA evidence can remain fresh for decades, perhaps even centuries," Dr Findlay said.  "The potential for this technology to solve unsolved crimes is great, "he said.    
But Dr Findlay, named scientist of the year in 1998 by the European Society of Human Genetics, said the new testing needed to be scientifically validated, which would take up to five years.     
He said, "There are serious consequences taking on technologies too early. The public has to be sure that they have the utmost confidence in the security and court systems."
32. The main advantage of the new technology is that ______.
A. a single cell can identify an individual
B. it has brought down the cost of DNA testing 
C. a higher level of accuracy can be acquired with a single cell    
D. it needs less than 200 cells to gain a certain level of accuracy
33. According to Ian Findlay, the new technology can ______.
A. help to keep DNA evidence fresh for decades and even centuries
B. make the process of DNA testing much more simplified
C. help to pick up DNA identities more easily
D. be widely used in five years at most
34. The last paragraph suggests that ______.
A. the immediate adopting of the technology may cause mistakes
B. the public have acknowledged the new testing technology
C. it is safe to put the new technology into use now
D. Dr Findlayis quite sure of his new technology
35. The aim of the passage is to ______.
A. praise Ian Findlay for his work    
B. report a piece of interesting news 
C. inform us of the wide use of DNA testing  
D. tell us a recent improvement in DNA testing
