Are you a happy person most of the time？ Or do you easily get angry sometimes？ Everyone has a 41 temperament。 It is usually be1ieved that both genes and environment may 42 people’s temperaments in different ways. But now scientists have found that the season of birth also plays a role。
Scientists from Budapest， Hungary， studied 400 university students。 In the study， the students needed to finish a 43 。 The purpose of it was to find out which of four kinds of 44 they most had。 From the questionnaire， scientists found that the students always answered something like ”My mood often changes for no reason” and "I love to deal with new 45 , even if it is risky”。 These answers were then matched with their birthdays。
They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods 46 to people born in winter。 Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer。
The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood of
47 which may easily drive them to cry， while those born in winter were not easier to be angry.
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had a（n) 48 on certain chemicals in the human body。 And the chemicals are important to 49 people's moods even in adult life。
"It seems that when you are born may increase or 50 your chance of developing certain mood disorders ，" lead scientist Xenia Gonda told The Telegraph。
IV。 Reading Comprehension
Section A （15）
Last month’s explosion at a chemical ware－house（仓库)in Tianjin took the lives of 159 people， injured hundreds more and left several thousand people homeless。 In the days after the tragedy， people around the country began to 51 money to help the victims。 It was a wonderful example of the charitable spirit of Chinese people。
Charity is what is known as a virtue, or moral goodness。 The dictionary defines it as the 52 giving of help, usually in the form of money， to people in need。 And a charity is a（n) 53 whose purpose is to raise money and help those in need。 The Red Cross is one 54 of a charity。 But charity also had a broader meaning-the unselfish love for others and， by loving them， making them better people。 This meaning 55 us to be tolerant and forgiving.
With 56 to the first definition， it's important to remember that charity is the “voluntary” giving of money。 It's a matter of 57 choice whether to give or not give。 Jackie Chan， the Hong Kong actor and singer， was 58 ， rightfully so, for donating 3 million yuan to the Tianjin victims. 59 , Jack Ma Yun, China’s second richest person， has remained silent on the tragedy and seems to have chosen not to give any money. Ma's silence has infuriated many and over 50，000 people have gone online to 60 him for not opening up his sizeable pocket book. Their criticism， I think, is unfair。 By condemning Ma， the critics， themselves, are being uncharitable.
Ma is a 61 person。 A charity he controls gave over 14 billion yuan to worthy causes last year and will likely do the same this year。 Whether some of this money finds its way to the Tianjin victims is 62 Ma： Will the money be used wisely？ Will it be effective， or are other charities and government agencies already providing 63 help for the victims？ These are the questions that Ma is probably asking and they are the questions that everyone should ask themselves before making donations。
As for Ma’s critics， they fall 64 of the second definition of charity。 They should be tolerant of other people’s decisions and actions, and not be so 65
to criticize. When it comes to charity, love and understanding are just as important as money.
51. A. donate B。 take C. borrow D. offer
52. A。 contrary B. unavoidable C。 voluntary D。 acceptable
53. A. class B。 firm C. society D. organization
54. A。 group B. example C。 instance D。 copy
55. A。 requires B。 enables C. makes D. permits
56. A. aspect B。 means C。 respect D。 show
57. A. impersonal B. personal C。 public D. relative
58. A。 praised B。 punished C。 criticized D。 shouted
59. A。 Furthermore B。 Otherwise C。 Similarly D。 However
60. A。 support B. value C。 criticize D. strike
61. A。 healthy B。 charitable C。 capable D. honest
62. A。 keen on B. fond of C。 familiar with D。 up to

III.Reading comprehension
Section A
（A）
Hell for most of us, yes， but all in a day's work for Charlotte Uhlenbroek。 She moves as elegantly through the hall of London’s Savoy as she does through the Amazon jungle. But while she loves the adventure， she is also glad to be back in “civilization”, at least for the moment.
She’s just finished filming a TV series called jungle – a demanding 19-week job that involved her exploring the dense jungles of the Congo， the Amazon and Borneo。 She says that it was fascinating, but daunting as well。 So what was her most challenging experience？ “Definitely climbing an 80—meter—high tree in Borneo， when I’m scared of heights！ I had to keep going up and up, when a voice inside me was saying， “Down！ Down！" I kept thinking the ropes were going to break and send me plummeting down below.”
And “down below” was where the bugs were. Apart from the usual mosquitoes, in the Amazon rainforest she was troubled by sand—fly bites. “I’ve had some horrible bites but these really are the itchiest(最痒的）bites I've ever had. At one stage, I counted 70 bites on one arm，" she says。 “Just as annoying were the sweat bees in the Congo. They try to drink the sweat on your face and even the tears from your eyes。 The most horrible thing, though, was trying to pull the slimy leeches（水蛭）off your skin。 The more I pulled, the more they stretched and the tighter their jaws clung to my leg。 I kept shouting， “Get them off！" and the film crew kept saying, “Just a minute … this makes a really good shot！”
Charlotte's journey into the heart of the world's most significant rainforests was an inspiring experience。 “The rainforest really is like a city。 Each tree is like an urban highrise building with hundreds of residents. If you knock it down, you cause just as much disturbance and damage as if those residents were human. The jungle is extraordinary because although it only covers about 6 percent of the world， it contains over 50 percent of all known animal and plant species， plus lots more that are unknown, too。"
Back in London， what has she been enjoying since her return to “civilization”？ “I've been having lots of nice， long showers,” she says。 “In the Congo， the possibility of using up our water supplies was always a worrying thought。 And I find that when I've been in hot， uncomfortable conditions for a while， the things I look forward to more than anything else are being with my family and enjoying my favorite meal。"
66. The underlined word “daunting" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A。 frightening B。 exciting
C. encouraging D. satisfying
67。 When bitten by ______， a person will feel unbearably itchy。
A。 usual mosquitoes B. sand flies
C。 sweat bees D。 leeches
68. A tree in the rainforest is compared to a highrise building because ______。
A。 many people come to explore the jungle
B。 the trees are 80 metres high on average
C。 many trees have been knocked down
D。 there are so many living things in it
69。 Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The film crew gave Charlotte a shot to prevent infection.
B。 Charlotte looks and feels “out of place" in the Savoy Hotel.
C。 Water supply was always a big concern for Charlotte in the jungle。
D. The jungle contains half of all the animal and plant species in the world。
Section B
Mapping Antarctica
Antarctica was on the map long before anyone ever laid eyes on it。 Nearly 2，400 years ago， ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle believed that a great continent must exist at the bottom of the world. They thought it was needed to balance out the continents at the top of the world。 In the 1500s， mapmakers often included a fanciful continent they referred to as Terra Incognita （Latin for “unknown land”） at the bottom of their maps。 But it was not until the 1800s ———- after explorers had sighted and set foot on Antarctica ———- that mapmakers got down to the business of really mapping the continent, which is one—and—a—half times the size of the U。S.。
While the coastline could be mapped by ships sailing around the continent， it took airplanes -—-— and later， satellites —-—- to chart Antarctica’s vast interior (内陆）。 That job continues today。 And it is a job that can still require a mapmaker， or cartographer, to put on boots and head out into the wild。
Cole Kelleher is familiar with that. He is a cartographer with the Polar Geospatial Center （PGC)， which is based at the University of Minnesota and has a staff at McMurdo Station. PGC teamed up with Google to use the company's Trekker technology to capture images of Antarctica for the Internet giant’s popular feature， Street View. A Trekker camera, which is the size of a basketball, is set about two feet above a backpack。 The camera records images in all directions. “It weighs about 50 pounds。 I was out for two and a half days， hiking 10 to 12 hours each day,” says Kelleher. It was hard work， but really an
