27、ows on farms.BWhen do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of peoples whole lives woul
28、d change if they did just that.When we are introduced to new people, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, People like people who like themselves. On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.Hearing such advice, one mi
29、ght say, But Im not a friendly, self-confident person. Thats not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way. In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in
30、 our personality. Its like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one.But isnt it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we dont actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, total honesty is not always
31、 good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about ones health or to mention faults one finds
32、in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about ones opinions and impressions.The author also declares that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on
33、 how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much we know.40. When first introduced to new people, we should _.A. be friendly and sure of ourselves regardless of the other peoples feelingB. always tell the whole truth even if it hurtsC. appear friendly and self-confident

According to the authors advice, interpersonal relations _.A. should be set as a required course in schoolsB. are more important than other courses in schoolC. are less important than reading, writing and mathematics
35、D. is the only key to ones success in life42. The underlined word play-acting in the fourth paragraph means_.A. being totally honest B. being a little dishonestC. acting out what one feels D. acting in a play43. The best title for the passage could be _.A. The Key to Success B. Best Ways to Make Fri
36、endsC. Personal Relations D. The First Four MinutesCA new study released(发布) by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) indicates that adults in US are not getting enough rest each night, according to media reports Friday.Of those questioned, 70 percent said they had not gotten enough rest or sleep eve
37、ry day of the past month.The study, which surveyed adults in Delaware, Hawaii, New York and Rhode Island, found that a lack of sleep is a particular problem for younger adults.Of those between 18 and 34, 13.3 percent lacked enough sleep every day, compared to 7.3 percent of adults over 55.However, t
38、he study did not find much difference between races or sexes.The National Sleep Foundation says that most adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night.An estimated (评估的) 50 to 70 million people suffer from constant sleep loss or sleep disorders, according to CDC, though people often do not understa
39、nd that lack of sleep can cause health problems.But there is some good news: retirement is apparently good for your sleep habits. The CDC found that those who are no longer working are twice as likely to report that they get a full nights sleep.Sleep patterns can be influenced by what kinds of jobs
40、people have, and even where they live. People who lived in Hawaii apparently got more sleep than those in the other three states studied, the study found, Lifestyle choices, such as late-night television watching, Internet surfing, or caffeine intake(咖啡因摄入), can also affect sleep patterns, the study

How many factors mentioned in the passage affect peoples sleep patterns?A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.DIt happened one morning 20 years ago. A British scientist
43、Alec Jeffrey came across DNA fingerprinting: He identified the patterns of genetic material that are unique to almost every individual. His discovery changed everything from the way we do criminal investigations to the way we decide family law. But the professor of genetics at the University of Leic
44、ester, UK, is still surprised, and a bit worried, by the power of the technology he released upon the world.The patterns within DNA are unique to each individual, except identical twins, who share the same pattern. The ability to identify these patterns has been used to convict(证明有罪) murderers and t
45、o clear people who are wrongly accused. It is also used to identify the victims of war and settle disputes over who is the father of a child.Jeffrey said he and his colleagues made the discovery by accident while tracking genetic variations(变异). But, within six months of the discovery, genetic finge
46、rprinting had been used in an immigration case, to prove that an African boy really was his parents son. In 1986, it was used for the first time in a British criminal case: It cleared one suspect after being accused of two murders and helped convict another man.DNA testing is now very common. In Bri
47、tain, a national criminal database established in 1995 now contains 2.5 million DNA samples. The U.S. and Canada are developing similar systems. But there are fears about the stored DNA samples and how they could be used to harm a persons privacy. That includes a persons medical history, racial orig
48、in or psychological profile. “There is the long-term risk that people can get into these samples and start getting additional information about a persons paternity(父子关系) or risk of disease,” Jeffrey said.DNA testing is not an unfailing proof of identity. Still, it is considered a reasonably reliable
49、 system for determining the things it is used for. Jeffrey estimates the probability of two individuals DNA profiles matching in the most commonly used tests at one in a billion.62. According to the text, DNA testing can NOT be used in _ .A. doing criminal investigations B. deciding family lawC. cle
50、aring wrongly accused people D. telling twins apart63. DNA samples are not popular with all the people because _ .A. the government in Britain establishes a criminal databaseB. the US and Canada develop similar systemsC. DNA samples can be used to harm a persons privacyD. DNA testing is too expensiv
51、e and dangerous now64. Where will you most probably find this article?A. In a guidebook. B. In a storybook.C. In a science fiction. D. In a scientific magazine.65. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Discovery of DNA testing by Jeffery B. Practice of DNA testing in courtC. DNA testing in the
52、present situation D. Benefits and side effects of DNA testing四、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）All That noise is damaging Childrens HearingMichel become hooked on headphones in his early teens. He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favorite music blasting directly into his ears. By his
53、 early 20s, Michel had lost much of his upper-range hearing.The Childrens Hearing Institute reports that hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States, and that one third of the damage is caused by noise.Surrounded By NoiseWe live in a noisy world. Young and old alike a
54、re beset by sounds over which we may have little or no control: power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, cars and house alarms, sirens, motorcycles, Jet Skis, loudspeakers, even movie previews.We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud you can hardly
55、hear the person sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners can not hear a doorbell or telephone. Many “modern ” restaurants have chosen noise enhancement instead of abatement(减轻). Any time you need to shout to be heard by someone
56、near you, your hearing is most likely to be in a decibel(分贝) danger zone.As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. Toys that meet the safety standards of the American Society for Testi
57、ng and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels, as loud as a jet plane taking off. Yet workplace rules require hearing protection for those exposed to noise above 85 decibels.Protecting Young EarsBefore buying noisemaking toys, parents would do well to listen to how loud they are. If the toy
58、comes with a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest level. Consider returning gifts that make loud noises, disable the noise-making function. Or limit the use of noisy toys to outside play areas.Children who play computer games and stereo equipment should be warned t
59、o keep the volume down. Time spent in video arcades, where the noise level can be over 110 decibels, should be strictly limited. Most iPods have a control that allow parents to set a maximum volume.Dont take children to loud action movies. If you do go and the sound seems deafening, ask the manager
60、to turn down the volume or insist on you money back. Children who play in bands and teenagers who use power tools, gardening equipment or guns should be made to wear hearing protection, available at sporting goods stores.The League for the Hard of Hearing urges parents to encourage participation in

67、trysideBeginning in February 2022, Chinese government launched a program -Home Appliances in the Countryside, details of which are as follows:From the program, we can see clearly that the Chinese government wants to stimulate the consumption in rural areas and decrease the numbers of the goods in st
68、ore so as to satisfy the needs of 200 million farmers in China. The program will run for four years, during which electrical appliances are expected to sell in the countryside, including color TVs, mobile phones, fridges, washing machines and so on. As a result, Chinese farmers qualify for a 13 perc
69、ent of the benefits, which is paid by the government. In this activity, the government guarantees that all the home appliances must be of good quality.As far as I am concerned, the action taken by our government explains that it shows great concerns for the people, especially the farmers in the countryside. I believe that under the correct leadership of our government, our country will surely get rid of the financial crisis and our lives will be better and better.- 13 - / 13
