21．（6分） Did you know that people who live in different parts of China have different habits and preferences？
For example， people from southern China prefer to eat vegetables， while people from north China like to eat meat． But what causes these differences？
According to a new study published in the journal Cell in October， gene variations （基因变异） might be responsible for these differences， Xinhua reported．
In the study， researchers from Chinese genome-sequencing （基因组测序） firm BGI collected genetic information from 141，431 Chinese women． The women came from 31 provinces and consisted of 36 ethnic minority groups．
The researchers found that there are six gene frequencies that are different among people from both northern and southern China． They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have evolved， affecting their food preferences， immunities （免疫性） to illness and physical traits （特点）， the New York Times reported．
The researchers reported that a variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people than it is in southern people． It helps people metabolize （新陈代谢） fatty acids （脂肪酸）， which suggests a diet that is rich in meat． According to Xinhua， this is due to climate differences． Northern China is at a higher latitude， which means it's cold and dry throughout the whole year． This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in． Therefore， northerners tend to eat more meat．
The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups． Most people in southern China carry the gene CR1， which protects against malaria （疟疾）． This is because malaria was once quite common in southern China． In order to survive， the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease． However， people in the south are also more vulnerable to certain blood-borne illnesses， as they lack the genes to stop them．
Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners． Most northerners have the ABCC11 gene， which causes dry earwax （耳屎）， less body odor and fewer sweat secretions （分泌）， The New York Times reported． These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments． Southerners are less likely to have this gene， as it did not evolve in their population．
1、What's the new study mainly about？ ______
A．The genes of Chinese minority groups．
B．Habits of people from different regions of China．
C．Differences in the genes of people from different parts of China．
D．Physical differences between northerners and southerners．
2、A variation of the gene FADS2can help our body ______ ．
A．store fat B．digest meat
C．fight disease D．control body temperature
3、The underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______ ．
A．unprotected B．uninterested
C．generous D．responsible
4、Compared with people in south China， most northerners ______ ．
a．are immune to malaria
b．catch blood-borne illnesses easily
c．have less body odor
d．sweat less frequently
A．ab B．bc
C．bd D．cd
22．（8分）It is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time，and that there are more bags per person on the street today than at any other time in history．If this is true，possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic devices，a reading-material explosion，a popular interest toward tight or pocket less clothing，or cheap bagmaking labor overseas.
But，much as nature finds ways—such as disease—to control overpopulation，city life has thrown up impediments(障碍) to bags．To enter many public buildings，such as theatres and railway stations，you must go through a search or go bagless．The city has countless bag rules．It is hard to keep them all straight，and you're never sure，when leaving home for the day，whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along．
Last week，the New York Public Library got in the game．Students，researchers，writers，historians，and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule．You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library．If you walk in with one，you must leave it at the coat check．You may keep its contents with you，however，and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them．You return them when you come back for your own bag．
What the library is trying to prevent，in this case，is people taking things out，rather than bringing things in．A librarian said on the second day，”It’s a big change for people who used to come and bring in half their flats．The people who use the library responsibly will continue to do so．The people who steal will continue to get away with it，if they really want to．”
1、How many reasons does the author list to explain the changes related to bags?
A．2 B．3 C．4 D．5
2、What do the bag rules in many public buildings require people to do?
A．Have their bags examined. B．Pay for bringing in bags.
C．Leave the places bagless. D．Use big clear plastic bags.
3、What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?
A．To change people’s way of reading.
B．To prevent people stealing things.
C．To help people better use the library.
D．To stop people from bringing in dangerous things.
4、How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?
A．Excellent． B．Satisfactory． C．Harmful． D．Limited．
23．（8分） Laughter is part of the universal human vocabulary. All members of the human species understand it. Unlike English or French or Swahili, we don’t have to learn to speak it. We re born with the capacity to laugh.
Very little is known about the specific brain mechanisms responsible for laughter. Contrary to folk wisdom, most laughter is not about humor; it is about relationships. To find out when and why people laugh, I went with several assistants to local malls and recorded what happened just before people laughed. Over a 10-year period, we studied over 2,000 cases of naturally occurring laughter.
We found that most laughter does not necessarily follow jokes. People may laugh after a variety of statements, such as, “Here comes Mary,” “How did you do on the test?” or “Do you have a rubber band?” These certainly aren’t jokes.
We believe laughter evolved from the panting (喘气的) behavior of our ancient ancestors. Today, if we tickle (使发痒) chimps, they don’t laugh. But, instead, they produce a panting sound. That’s the sound of ape laughter, and it’s the root of human laughter.
Apes laugh in the kinds of situations that lead to human laughter, like games that involve chasing. Other animals produce sounds during play, but they are so different from laughter. Rats, for example, produce high sounds during play and when tickled, but these are very different in sound from human laughter.
Laughter is often positive, but it can be negative too. There’s a difference between “laughing with” and “laughing at”. People who laugh at others may be trying to drive them out of the group.
No one has actually counted how much people of different ages laugh, but young children probably laugh the most. At ages 5 and 6 we probably laugh more than at any other times. Adults laugh less than children, probably because they play less.
Work now underway will tell us more about the brain mechanisms behind laughter, how it has evolved, and why we’re so susceptible to tickling.
1、What was the purpose of the decade’s research?
A．To prove that people laugh because of humour.
B．To find out the real reason for people s laughter.
C．To research people s different reaction on jokes.
D．To record conversations among shoppers in malls.
2、What can we learn from the text?
A．People who play more tend to laugh more.
B．Apes produce high sounds when tickled.
C．Scientists know the brain mechanisms responsible for laughter well.
D．The situations in which apes laugh are very different from those in which humans laugh.
3、What does the underlined word “susceptible” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Sensitive. B．Flexible.
C．Addictive. D．Reliable.
4、Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A．The Impact of Laughter
B．The Meaning of Laughter
C．A Big Mystery: Why Do We Laugh?
D．Laughter: The Most Beautiful Words
24．（8分） In my memory, winters always used to be really unpleasant. You had to bundle up just to keep warm when you went outside. You were often cold, wet, slip on the ice, and you’d arrive home to an ice-cold house. And that would mean turning on the heating and waiting. It’s a miracle you didn’t get cold to the bone.
Fortunately, things don’t have to be so challenging any more. Technology, engine ring and design have advanced giving us new solutions to old problems. It means dealing with winter needn’t be like skating on thin ice.
With a smart thermostat (温度自动调节器), our homes can be warm when we need them to be. Many models feature smartphone apps that allow you to control temperature remotely, so we can warm up the house before we arrive home. According to , Tado’s model features voice control, while the Nest ‘leans’ your habits and automatically heats the home for you.
Clothes have been given an upgrade, too. Electronic thermal jackets, sweaters and coats heat up when you turn them on. What better way to keep warm in the dead of winter? At the touch of a button, or through an app on our phones, the clothing generates heat from elements placed inside. Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over 12 hours. .
Finally, there is the clothing for the head, beanie s and Earmuff, that feature speakers included in the fabric using Bluetooth technology so we can listen to our favourite music or, in some cases, have a phone callusing the in-built microphone. All while keeping the head warm and avoiding a cold.
For many, the thought of winter used to be enough to make their blood run cold. But using technology, life needn’t freeze up. With the right solutions, there’s no reason why winter can’t be really, really cool.
1、What do the underlined words “bundle up” mean in Para.1?
A．Fix an air conditioner. B．Take a hot bath.
C．Run a lot. D．Put on more clothes.
2、How does electronic thermal clothing work?
A．The equipment placed inside the clothing produces heat.
B．It needs to be warned up before being used.
C．The thermostat heat up automatically when the temperature is low.
D．It keeps warm for over 12 hours after being charged fox an hour.
3、From the passage, we can lean the following statements EXCEPT that ________.
A．Tado’s model can be controlled by saying something to it.
B．with the in-built speaker and microphone, Beanies and Earmuffs users can have a phone call.
C．technology can do nothing to make winter less rough.
D．Bluetooth technology is used in the clothing for the head.
4、What’s the best title of this passage?
A．A Smart Thermostat B．A Modern winter
C．Ways of keeping warm D．An unpleasant winter
