A
People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining 16.5cm. A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries 1914 and 2014. The results show that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men have risen from l2th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5cm. Larvian women, meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 11.8cm. James Bentham, a co-author of the research says the global trend is likely but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less key role," he added.
But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many countries of north and sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. While height increased in Uganda and Niger during the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds.
"One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 1980s," said Professor Alexander. The nutritional and health problems that followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full potential in terms of height.
Bentham believes the global trend of increasing height has important implications. "How tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in," he said. "If we give children the best possible start in life now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come."
1、What can be learned from Paragraph I?
A．The increase in women’s height is much bigger than men’s in the last century.
B．The last century has seen a great increase in people’s height in most countries.
C．Genetics plays a key role in the increase of people’s height in the last century.
D．Dutch and Swedes are ranked first and second in height in the world nowadays.
2、The underlined word "reversed" in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by .
A．slowed down. B．gone upwards. C．changed to the contrary. D．come to life again.
3、According to the text,James Bentham suggests that .
A．The economic situation of some countries should be improved.
B．Environment protection should be attached great importance to.
C．The global trend of increasing height should be closely watched.
D．Children’s proper nutrition and healthcare should be guaranteed.

B
Most of us have quite good memories, but our memories are limited. For example, we cannot remember everyone we have ever met or what we did on every single day of our lives. However, there are some people who do have prodigious memories. These people have a rare condition known as savant syndrome（学者症候群）. Savants suffer
from a developmental disorder, but they also exhibit great talents that contrast（显出差异）sharply with their physical and mental disabilities.
Kim Peek (1951-2009) was a savant who lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States. He was born with damage to parts of his brain, but it seemed that other parts of his brain, particularly those relating to memory, became over-developed.
Peek’s unique abilities appeared at a very early age. When he was just 20 months old, he could already remember every book that was read to him. Peek could read two pages of a book at the same time-one page with the right eye and one with the left-in less than 10 seconds and remember everything he read. By the time he died, Peek had memorized more than 9,000 books. He could remember all the names and numbers in a variety of telephone books. He could remember thousands of facts about history, literature, geography and sports.
Dr. David Treffert, an expert on savant syndrome, once described Peek as “a living Google” because of his astonishing ability to memorize and connect facts. However, at the same time, Peek was unable to carry out simple tasks, such as brushing his hair or getting dressed, and he needed others to help him. In 1989, the movie Rain Man won the Oscar for best Picture. The main character in the movie, played by Dustin Hoffman, was based on Kim Peek's life. He started to appear on television, where he would amaze audiences by correctly answering difficult questions on different topics. Peek-became world famous, and he and his father began touring widely to talk about overcoming disabilities. He inspired a great many people with his words. “Recognizing and respecting differences in others, and treating everyone in the way you want them to treat you, will make our world a better place for everyone.
Everyone is different.”
1、The underlined word “prodigious” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A．happy B．clear.
C．amazing D．short
2、According to the text, Peek ______.
A．could take care of himself
B．was born with a good memory
C．was the student of Dr. David Treffert
D．became brain-damaged at 20 months old
3、How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A．By giving facts. B．By following time order.
C．By explaining causes. D．By making comparisons.
4、Peek’s words suggest that we should ______.
A．respect different cultures B．listen to different opinions
C．treat different people differently D．respect others’ differences
