I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full o
16、f happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light. As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-ja
17、cketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light.

18、id. We are collecting money for a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children. As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos and into his eyes.

The right blanket can warm your bone
23、s but the wrong one can affect your sleep. I asked experts for advice on picking the perfect blanket for a good nights sleep. Heres what they told me. When it comes to sleep temperature, experts recommend following the principle: not too cold, not too hot, but just right. “People seem to sleep best
24、at temperature between 62 and 70 degrees F,” says Dr. Alice Hoagland. When the surrounding temperature falls too low, it can rouse you from sleep. A good blanket helps drive the coldness away. At the other extreme, overheating yourself can affect your sleep as well. “Core body temperature typically
25、drops during the first four hours of sleep,” says Dr. Hoagland. This decline in body temperature helps you fall asleep and stay asleep. “In medical care, weighted blankets are one of our most powerful tools for helping people who are anxious, upset, and possibly losing control,” says Dr. Karen Moore
26、. These special blankets are filled with weighted pellets. Weighted blankets are also marketed for general use as an aid to sleep and relaxation. Like a firm hug, weighted blankets help us feel safe.” This is the reason why many people like to sleep under a blanket even in summer. “If you want to tr
27、y this type of blanket, the best weight depends on your body size and personal preference. However, 15 to 30 pounds is typical for adults,” Moor says. She adds that weighted blankets are not recommended for those recovering from surgery. “People can also have serious preferences for a particular bla
28、nket,” says Dr. Hoagland. “Regularly using a favorite blanket for sleep can help to develop a conditioned response so that sleep is quicker.” In fact, many sleep centers ask patients to bring their own blanket and pillow from home, which helps them fall asleep more easily.40. The author wrote the pa
29、ssage mainly to tell us _. A. the importance of blankets B. how to choose the perfect blanket C. different materials used to make blankets D. the history and usage of blankets41. The underlined word “rouse” in Paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to “_”. A. wake up B. take up C. make up D. pick up4
30、2. What do we know from the passage? A. Body temperature rises when we fall asleep B. The perfect sleep temperature should be above 70 degrees F. C. Weighted blankets should be at least 30 pounds. D. People are advised to use their own blankets.43. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. C
31、 Statuses are wonderful human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we fit in society. In our everyday lives whenever we meet people, we always try to judge them in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a rea
32、der or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman and so on. Our statuses often vary with the people we meet, and change through life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume(表现出) the different statuses that various situations require. Much of social communication consist
33、s of recognizing and selecting among proper statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people, based on a constant mental process of assessment and understanding. Although some of us find the task more difficult
34、 than others, most of us perform it rather easily.A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits the buyer can choose style and material. But an American is not free to choose the clothes of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing
35、presented by our society.Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our wallet. Having made a choice within these limits, we can have certain changes made. But apart from small adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their shelves. Statuses too co
36、me ready-made, and the range of choice among them is limited.44. According to the writer, people often assume different statuses_. A. in order to distinguish themselves from othersB. in order to better recognize other peopleC. as their mental processes changeD. as the situation changes45. In the las
37、t sentence of the second paragraph, “it” refers to “_”A. constant mental processB. selecting ones own statusesC. recognition of other peoples statusesD. fitting our actions to those of other properly46. What can be the best title for this text?A. Proper Relations.B. Limited Choices.C. Judgment of St
38、atuses.D. Comparison of Clothes.D In American crime movies, policemen search crime scenes for anything that might belong to a criminal bits of fingernail , blood or hair in order to find out who they are. What they hope to find is the key to their identitytheir DNA.DNA is the chemical that contains
39、a persons genetic makeup. Every person, except for identical twins, has unique DNA information. That is why we can use it to identify someone.There is no doubt that DNA evidence is becoming a very powerful tool for law enforcement (实施)officers. In the US, all 50 states and the federal government kee
40、p DNA databases of some criminals after they have been convicted（宣告有罪）. Whenever a crime happens, the police collect DNA from the crime scene and compare this with samples they already have in the criminal database. If they match any suspect in the database, then theyve caught their criminal. Even i
41、f they dont, the DNA sample can still be used to determine the persons sex, height, hair and eye color and other characteristics. This helps police to create a physical profile of the criminal.Some people feel that the database should be made bigger to contain everyones DNA and help to solve many mo
42、re crimes. This would also avoid mistakes when someone is wrongly convicted of a crime. DNA doesnt make mistakes.However, other people are worried that it would violate their privacy. Someones DNA can be used to gather information such as the persons family and ethnic（种族的） background, whether he or
43、she has a gene mutation（突变）or certain genetic diseases, and other personal issues. People are afraid that this information might be used inappropriately. They may fear that employers might read it and treat them differently. People may also be afraid that personal data might get into the hands of in
44、surance firms or loan companies. For example, if they knew from your DNA that you had a genetic risk of a serious disease, they might be able to refuse you life insurance, a loan, or even a job. Clearly, the use of DNA evidence will continue to help the police solve crimes. However, social and ethic
45、al concerns about DNA will also remain a topic of debate.47. What is the article mainly about?A. The possibilities opened up by DNA technology B. The controversy over DNA databasesC. How DNA databases are built D. What role DNA plays in solving crimes.48. Which is TRUE according to the article?A. DN
