down the chimney!" "Eat your spinach - you"ll get as strong as Popeye.". . . and so on. However, there"s
one fib that"s bigger than all the others. It"s "I don"t have a favorite child."
    In his fascinating new book, The Sibling Effect: What Bonds Among Brothers and Sisters Reveal
About Us, Jeffrey Kluger, a father of two daughters, aged eight and ten, claims that " 95 percent of
parents in the world have a favorite child - and the other 5 percent are lying."
     Kluger may be exaggerating the figures for dramatic effect - but despite every parent"s vehement (激
烈的) denial that they have a favorite child - scientific research shows that he is not far off the truth.
     According to one recent study by researchers from the University of California - which followed 384
sibling pairs and their parents for three years - 65 percent of the mothers and 70 percent of fathers
exhibited a preference for one child. As this was among families that knew they were being monitored,
there"s a strong possibility the true figures could be significantly higher.
     Favoritism is certainly a controversial topic. When raised as a subject for discussion on parenting
websites, it always arouses a stream of angry denials.
     But interestingly, a lot of personal anecdotes appear from parents who say they were overshadowed
by a favored sibling, or were, indeed, their mother or father"s favorite. It seems everyone knows
favoritism exists - but nobody wants to put their hand up and say they"re guilty of it themselves.
     Another research, where siblings have been asked to say who their mother and father favor, suggests
that mothers do tend to a show a preference for their first-born son, but fathers often dote on their
youngest daughters.
     Parents will often be drawn to the child who is easiest to get along with - or the child that shares
similar traits to them. For example, mum will have a special bond with her sensitive, arty son, while dad
lavishes attention on his sporty daughter.
     Professor Scott says being least favored in a family can color our behavior as adults. "Children who
feel they are less loved within their family are more likely to develop low self-esteem, anxiety and
depression."
But some experts believe being less favored can have positive consequences. Professor Scott agrees that
favored children can sometimes find life difficult when they have to rub along in the real world. 1. Which of the following is most likely a white lie? A. I am determined to go and nothing will stop me.
B. A good idea, without action, is worth nothing.
C. Those who complain the most, accomplish the least.
D. Thank you so much for the gift! I just love it!2. What can we infer from paragraph three?A. Kluger is exaggerating the figures for dramatic effect.
B. Every parent denies the fact that he has a favorite child.
C. Every parent does have a favorite child.
D. What Kluger said is quite close to the fact. 3. What does "sibling" (para 4) mean in the passage?A. brother or sister    
B. parent
C. brother
D. sister4. Which child is most likely to be a favorite child in a father"s eyes?A. A sensitive, arty son.
B. The first-born son.
C. A sporty daughter.
D. A young daughter. 5. What is the most likely effect on the child who is the favored one in a family according to
     Professor Scott?A. He simply just has to put his head down and work harder to succeed.
B. He is likely to learn how to turn disadvantages into advantages.
C. He is likely to find life difficult when he has to face the real world.
D. He is likely to develop low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. 6. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Some people were overshadowed by a favored sibling when they were young.
B. Most people will admit that they feel guilty of favoring one child over another.
C. Experts have different opinions about the consequences of being less favored.
D. The topic about favoritism on parenting websites always arouses angry denials.

阅读理解。      Studies have shown that the fewer medicines a person has to take the more likely he or she will take
them.
Last week, a study was released about a new treatment that combines 5 medicines for heart
disease in one pill. Salim Yusuf of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada was the lead
investigator. He presented the findings at the American College of Cardiology Conference in Orlando,
Florida.
     The experimental drug is known as Polycap. It contains aspirin, a drug to lower cholesterol (胆固醇)
and three medicines to lower blood pressure. The study was carried out at 50 health centers across India. More than two thousand people between the ages of 45 and 80 took part in the study. All had at least
one risk factor for heart disease. These include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or being
severely overweight.
     The people were divided into 9 groups of about 200 people each. One group took Polycap. The
other groups took either a single drug or different combinations of the medicines in the Polycap pill. The
study showed that Polycap lowered blood pressure and cholesterol without many side effects. Doctor
Yusuf said the single pill, taken once a day, could reduce the average person"s risk of heart disease and
stroke by about half. The maker of Polycap, Cadila Pharmaceuticals of India, paid for the study.
     Cardiovascular diseases (心血管疾病) of the heart and blood vessels are the number one cause of
death around the world. These diseases kill more than seventeen million people every year. 80 percent
of them are in low and middle income countries. Doctor Yusuf said the single pill treatment could
revolutionize heart disease prevention. People would be more likely to take one pill a day than many
pills. And one pill would cost less than several pills.
     Other heart doctors say heart disease prevention is important but not necessarily with pills. They say
patients might be able to get the same results with changes in diet and exercise.
     Doctors say that more research on Polycap is needed. They say the drug should be tested on thousands more people, including those in different risk, age and ethnic groups.1. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 implies that people        .A. don" t like to take medicines
B. tend to take fewer medicines
C. should take medicines if it is necessary
D. tend to fall sick if they take fewer medicines2. Which of the following about Doctor Ysisuf"s experiment on Polycap in India is True?A. Polycap was tested for its five different combinations.
B. Polycap was proved basically safe and effective.
C. All the participators had at least one symptom of heart disease.
D. Participators were required to come from different ages and ethnic groups,3. From the passage, we can infer that Polycap_       .A. is generally accepted by heart doctors
B. mainly consists of medicines to lower blood pressure
C. is certain to play important role in heart disease prevention
D. will be cheaper than other common medicines to treat heart disease4. According to the passage, the following people are more likely to get Cardiovascular
   disease except         .A. old people    
B. low - income people    
C. overweight people    
D. diabetic people5. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Different opinions about heart disease prevention.
B. A combination pill may cut heart disease risk in half.
C. A combination pill cures blood pressure and bad cholesterol.
D. Cardiovascular diseases are the number one killer in the world.

阅读理解。      What will power your house in the future? Nuclear, wind, or solar power? According to scientists at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, it might be leaves -but artificial ones.
      Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光
合作用). Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.
     The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special
silicon chip (硅片) with catalysts (催化剂). Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen
and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a
fuel cell (电池), which uses those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house
or beside the house.
     Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an
inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. "One can imagine villages in India and Africa not
long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology," said Docera at a
conference of the American Chemical Society.
     An artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive
and unstable for practical use. The new leaf, by contrast, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and
highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prorotype (原型) could operate
continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.
     The wonderful improvements come from Nocera"s recent discovery of several powerful new,
inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation (转换) inside the leaf more
efficient with water and sunlight. Right now, the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out
photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides, the device can run in whatever water is available; that is, it
doesn"t need pure water. This is important for some countries that don"t have access to pure water.
     With the goal to "make each home its own power station" and "giving energy to the poor", scientists
believe that the new application could be widely used in developing countries, especially in India and
rural China.1. Which of the following order correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?
a. artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygen
b. the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cell
c. the artificial leaves are put in water
d. the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA. cbad  
B. cabd  
C. bcad  
D. cadb2. Which of the following statements about new artificial leaves is TRUE according to the article?A. They are inexpensive but unstable.
B. They are as efficient at carrying out photosynthesis as natural leaves.
C. They can work only in pure water.
D. They need several catalysts to help them work efficiently.3. The aim of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaves is to        .A. build-up more power stations in the world
B. provide cheaper energy for developing countries
C. offer people in developing countries access to pure water
D. gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process4. What is the main point of the article?A. Introduction to the history of artificial leaves.
B. An invention copying photosynthesis.
C. Giving energy to the poor.
D. A mixture of water power and solar energy.

阅读理解。     What exactly is intelligence? There aren"t any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made
in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of
modern science,until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene (基因) linked to intelligence has made the
experts think again.
     Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking
into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more
common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6
and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the
population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32%
of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did.
However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He
suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.
     Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some
psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called
Genius Explained, is one of these. "The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do
best in their careers."
     Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn"t everything. Many
alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which
was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader
view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors(因素) in
intelligence.
     Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing
that true geniuses(天才) do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists
Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes
that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps
there"s hope for us all!1. What is the topic of the passage?A. The relationship between genes and intelligence.
B. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.
C. How to develop intelligence.
D. What makes intelligence.2. Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?A. To make a suggestion.

C. To prove an idea.
D. To give an example.3. What can we learn from the passage?A. Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common.
B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.
C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.
D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.4. What does the underlined word "This" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The development of intelligence.
B. The idea of multiple intelligences.
C. IQ isn"t everything for intelligence.
D. Alternative views have been put forward.

阅读理解。     Loma just had to get in touch with someone:"I had to tell my best friend something important. I tried
calling her but I couldn"t get through. So I sent her an e-mail and then I spoke to her on MSN. Without
technology I would not have been able to tell her. "
    Staying connected with friends and family is important for us. That"s why we asked our readers to tell
us how cell-phones, e-mail, blogs, text messaging, and personal pages help them keep in touch. More
than 1,500 responded.
     Most of them told us they couldn"t live without technology:80%of teens said they need technology to
stay in touch. Almost 30%said they"d be completely out of their friends without their cell-phones and
other methods of communication.
     What do they do when they"ve got news they need to share now? Most teens say they try to reach
their friends by phone. But if they don"t reach them, they use QQ, e-mails, and text messaging to get the
words out.
     Lots of people use one way of communication-like text messaging-to get a friend"s attention and then
use another where they can talk more. "My friends and I always tell each other everything that happens.
So I send them text messages to tell them to come online so we can talk about it," said Sabeiha.
     "When planning to get together with friends", Julian said, "the easiest and fastest way I know is to
send a text message to my contact group." Jocelyn said. "If I want to go to see a movie with a few friends, I usually send text message to them. By telephone, you have to call every single friend one by one. But
text messaging allows you to send the same message to as many as you"d like, which saves a lot of time. "1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. E-mails.    
B. Blogs.        
C. Personal pages.    
D. Personal letters. 2. What do most young people use first when they have news to tell their friends?A. MSN.
