17、mal cafes.D. To advertise some nice shopping places.BDurian(榴莲) is probably the smelliest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided
18、to take a look at its genome (基因组) and find out.Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene t
19、hat controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because t
20、he fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If
21、 they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contributing to the distribution of the species.The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all, the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the hel
22、p of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.Despite the striking smell, many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of th
23、em may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.25. What give durian its unique smell?A. Onions nearby. B. Two gene copies.C. Volatile sulfur compounds. D. Rotten ingredients in it.26. What does the underlined word “evolved” in

26、a place to sleep on the street. But she beat these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry into Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”.Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a rea
27、l-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up with two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just l5 years old. The effect of that loss became a turnin
28、g point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. “What drove
29、me to live on had something to do with understanding, and by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,” she wrote in her book .She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, suc
30、h as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care
31、 of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time. ”Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “as simple as making a decision”.29. In which order did the following things
32、happen to Liz?a. Her mother died of AIDS.b. She got admitted into Harvard.c. She worked at a petrol station.d. The movie about her life was put on.e. She had trouble finding a place to sleep.A. b, e, a, d, c B. a, b, c, e, d C. c, d, b, a, e D. c, a, e, b, d 30. What actually made her go towards her
33、 goal?A. Envy and encouragement.B. Decisions and understandingC. Willpower and determination.D. Love and respect for her parents.31. What does Liz mean by saying “What drove me to live on.I had only experienced a small part of the society”?A. She would do something for her own life.B. She could hard
34、ly understand the society.C. She had little experience of social life.D. She needed to travel more around the world.32. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Why Liz loved her parents so much.B. What a hard time Liz had in her childhood.C. How Liz made efforts to change her life.D. How Liz managed
35、 to enter Harvard University.DHow many times do you check your Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”? Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, dont worry -psychological findings have shown its completely normal. In
36、fact, the pleasure we derive from receiving a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we cant help wanting more. According to the findings, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit in the teens brains is particularly sensitive, and the “social” a
37、nd “visual” parts of their brains were active when they received “likes” on the social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from them worked all the same. So, does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up
38、as possible? Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention. In “why do people long for attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center o
39、f attention in their house, may try to copy these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to long for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings. In fact, too much desire for attention can c
40、reate anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple. “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be
41、less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker. So perhaps the answer to our addiction to “likes” is simply to focus on something larger than ourselves - a hard, but a worthy one. 33. Whats the reaction of receiving “likes” on the
42、 social network to the brain? A. The brain becomes cleverer B. The brain becomes more nervous. . C. The brain becomes less sensitive. D. Some parts of the brain are active.34. Who wants to get more attention according to the passage? A. The young who feels anxious. B. The old who lives happily with
43、children. C. The only child. D. Teens who want to discover their mistakes.35. Whats Crockers suggestion about the negative effects of getting self-esteem? A. Having a bigger goal than their self. B. Working harder than ever before. C. Doing an interesting matter. D. Not checking your Facebook page i

These screams are recognized by
45、 people all over the world. 36 Every kid in every culture screams. Every adult in the context of a true fear responds with screams. So its just a feature of the human mind and brain.David Poeppel is a neuroscientist at New York University. He wondered why screams were recognized the same way by peop
46、le all around the world. So, he and his colleagues set up an experiment.They recorded screams from movies and from volunteers who took part in the research. 37 Instead, they measured how quickly the sounds in the scream changed in volume. It was in this area-the change in volume that screams stand a
47、part from other sounds.When the volume of a sound changes that quickly it has a quality called “roughness”. 38 David Poeppel and his team found that car alarms, sirens, and alarm clocks also have this quality, this “roughness”.The scientists then studied how this roughness changed brain activity. Th
48、ey asked the volunteers to listen to different types of screams and alarms in an MRI scanner. The researchers found that the greater roughness of a sound, the more it activates the amygdala(扁桃腺). 39 The amygdala acts like a gauge（计量器） that says wow, this sound has a lot of roughness in it; thats par
49、ticularly alarming and scary. Screams, it turns out, are a direct link to the part of our brain that tells us whether we should be afraid or not. 40 Now, we know why a scream gets so much attention, so quickly.A. A scream is to say Im in trouble and I need help.B. The more roughness a sound has, the
50、 more worrying it is.C. The amygdala is an area deep in the brain that answers to fear.D. Screams played a very important evolutionary role in our survival.E. The scientists, however, did not measure the screams for loudness.F. People of all cultures and languages hear the same thing in a scream: fe
51、ar.G. People who hear these rough sounds are also more likely to react to them very quickly.第三部分：英语知识运用第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1.5分,满分30分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I used to believe politeness was a thing of the past.
