Stealing? I guess we were stealing. But in our 13-year-old brains the matter of ownership 　6　 occurred to us. We just wanted to 　7　 some strawberries in Mr. Jordan’s backyard. So we went 　8　 into his backyard. 
When we started 　9　 his strawberries, all of a sudden Mr. Jordan came outside. 
“What are you boys doing out here?” he 　10　 and tried to grab one or two as my friends rushed past him, but they were too 　11　 for the older gentleman to seize, and all the boys except me disappeared within seconds. 
Speed was never my 　12　.So I could just stand there and 　13　 whatever punishment would surely come my way from Mr. Jordan.  
He marched me to my house and my mother criticized me. My friends gathered to celebrate their 　14　 and observe my capture. They 　15　 me about it for days afterwards, while all I could do was complain to my father about how 　16　 it was. 
“I don’t think so,” Dad said. “You got the punishment you 　17　.” 
“But what about other guys?” I asked.
Dad said, “You can’t 　18　 what happens to other people. You can only 　19　 what happens to you. You picked Mr Jordan’s strawberries that night, and you were punished for it. To me, that is completely fair.” 
Then I couldn’t 　20　 my father’s words. 　21　 through the years I knew what he talked about. We didn’t come to earth with a 　22　 that life would treat us fairly. 
Like Dad said, the 　23　 thing we can actually 　24　 is what happens to us. How we choose to respond to what happens to us is surely the 　25　 by which the quality of our lives will be measured whether or not we think it happens fairly.

A
Barbara McClintock was one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century. She made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes(染色体).
Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. Her family moved to the Brooklyn area of New York City in 1908.  Barbara was an active child with interests in sports and music. She also developed an interest in science.
She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics.
Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a master’s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree.
McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s was not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the great economic depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand. 
An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. It is a research center on Long Island, near New York City. McClintock started a temporary job with the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent position in the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid.
By the 1970s, her discoveries have had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize.
26. When did McClintock get a doctorate degree?
A. In 1921 B. In 1923 C. In 1925 D. In 1927
27. In the middle of the great economic depression in the US, ________.
A. male geneticists were in great demand
B. young female scientists might have trouble finding a job
C. female geneticists were not in demand at all
D. male scientists were out of work
28. Which of the following jobs was beneficial to McClintock’s research?
A. A job as a botany teacher.
B. A temporary job in the genetics department.
C. A permanent position in the laboratory.
D. A job to research cancer
29. Which is right about McClintock?
A. She majored in genetics at Cornell University.
B. As a young female scientist, she was unemployed in the 1930s.
C. The permanent job in her friend’s laboratory supported her academically and financially.
D. She was the first woman to win an Nobel Prize without being shared with others.
30. Why was McClintock awarded a Nobel Prize?
A. Because she received a degree in genes and chromosomes.
B. Because she contributed to genetic engineering and cancer research
C. Because she was the first American woman who studies genes and chromosomes.
D. Because she made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes.
B
Body language includes any movement of any part of the body. Like verbal language, there exist cultural universals and cultural differences in Chinese and American body languages. For example, a handshake is the most common gesture that goes with a greeting; waving a hand to say “goodbye” is the same; a frown (皱眉) shows displeasure and a pat on the back of a person indicates agreement, praise and encouragement.
Not all body language means the same thing in different cultures. Body motions and gestures are learned, that is, culturally determined. There is no natural language of emotional gesture, and our gesture language which is meaningful to us is as unintelligible to another culture as our verbal language is. Even nodding or shaking the head may have a different meaning. Look at the following English sentence, “Mama pursed her lips and reminded us gently, ‘We do not want to go to the bank.’ We all shook our heads.” Here the English “We all shook our heads” indicates that “We all agreed with Mama”.
Americans are ready to maintain good eye contact in conversation, but they do not like long stares. With people who are unfamiliar to us, we must avoid staring at them, and yet we must also avoid ignoring them. We look at them long enough to make it quite clear that we see them, and then we immediately look away. In face-to-face communication, a detailed knowledge of the counterpart’s body language can help us know more than just what he says. A person can use words to hide the truth, but the unconscious nonverbal body language may betray (背叛) him. For example, during the days of Nazism, the Jews within the boundaries of Germany did their best to hide their race, but they were often discovered by the Nazis because of their bold and unrestrained (无节制的) gestures. So their body language frequently revealed their race
31. If an American mother pats her son on the back, what does she mean?
A. She is disappointed with her son.
B. She is angry with her son.
C. She doesn’t agree what her son is doing.
D. She praises her son for his doing something well.
32. What is mainly talked about in the second paragraph
A. The English do not like to go to the bank.
B. The English nod their heads to show agreement.
C. Some body languages are different in different cultures.
D. Nodding is common in England and China.
33. The underlined word “unintelligible” in the second paragraph probably means “_____”.
A. impossible to understand B. impossible to learn
C. impossible to communicate D. impossible to express
34. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Body language is learned in a culture.
B. It is important to know body language in communication.
C. People may use verbal language to hide the truth.
D. Americans like staring at the person who is talking to them all the time.
35. By the example of the Jews, the author wants to tell us that _______.
A. the Jews have bad body language
B. the Nazis were very cruel
C. people’s body languages tell some truths to others
D. people often use their body languages to make themselves understood easily

Ⅳ七选五 （每小题2分，共10分）
36 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view. The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 37 .
The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 38 It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction－the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body－this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 39
On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 40 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
A. Then a third level appeared.
B. Different people have different wants on each level.
C. There are several levels of wants in one’s life.
D. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears
E. At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.
F. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.
G. Human wants seem endless.
