All of these are influenced by the interaction of your genes and the environment in which you were 50 .
21、 The study of how genes and environment interact to influence 51 activity is known as behavioral genetics. Behavioral genetics has made important 52 to the biological revolution, providing information about the extent to which biology influences mind, brain and behavior.Any research that suggests th
22、at ability to perform certain behaviors are based in biology is controversial. Who wants to be told that there are _53_to what you can achieve based on something that is beyond your control, such as your genes? It is easy to accept that genes control physical characteristics such as sex, race and ey
23、e color. But can genes also determine whether people will get divorced, how 54 they are, or what career they are likely to choose? A concern of psychological scientists is the extent to which all of these characteristics are influenced by nature and nurture(养育), by genetic makeup and the environment
24、._55_, science indicates that genes lay the groundwork for many human traits. From this perspective, people are born 56 like undeveloped photographs: The image is already _57_, but the way it 58 appears can vary based on the development process.

26、 book for my publisher. Writing a book is a _60_ goal, which got off to a terrific start last October. The writing is flowing well. Then I got sick. In fact, I got ill that I needed surgery and the _61_ was long and exhausting. I did not work from the first week of November until the second week of
27、January. By then I was nervous about meeting the April_62_for submitting the new manuscript to my publisher.Worried, I asked my author friends for some help, and they gave me this key piece of advice, “Lets start writing! they all said. So I did. It was not an immediate _63_ to my depression, but af
28、ter a few weeks of _64_, I got back to normal. Several people in my circle of supporters helped me make some good connections and I got the book _65_, and to the publisher on time. It was an exciting goal for me to reach, so I took my family to Hawaii as my _66_.Sometimes you _67_ your own dreams be
29、cause of self-doubt, fear, or external complications. You can think of many different excuses to _68_ those dreams aside, but, if you go after your dreams, your world will become more exciting and you will begin to live a more passionate and meaningful life.So, now, take a minute to write down three
30、 goals you want to accomplish this year.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A 30%Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It is officially known as The Swiss Re Tower,
31、 or 3 St. Mary Axe. As a typical example of green architecture in London, what is most remarkable about the building is tis energy-efficiency. _69_ its artful design and some fancy technology, it is expected to consume up to 05% less energy than a conventional office building. Green architecture is
32、_70_ the way buildings are designed, built and run. Supporters of green architecture argue that the approach has many _71_. In the case of large office, for example, the _72_ of green design techniques and clever technology can not only reduce energy consumption and environmental impact, but also re
33、duce running costs, create a more _73_ working environment, improve employees health and productivity, reduce legal liability, and _74_ property values and rental returns. Going green saves money by reducing long-term energy costs: a survey of 99 green buildings in America found that on average, the
34、y use 30% less energy than conventional buildings. So any additional building costs can be _75_ quickly. The traditional approach of trying to minimize construction costs, _76_, can lead to higher energy bills and wasted materials. Green buildings can also have less obvious _77_ benefits. The use of
35、 natural daylight in office buildings, for example, besides reducing energy costs, also seems to make workers more productive. Lockheed Martin, an aerospace firm, found that absenteeism(缺勤) _78_ by 15 after it moved 2,500 employees into a new green building in Sunnyvale, California. _79_, the use of
36、 daylight in shopping complexes appears to increase _80_. It also found that students in naturally lit classrooms performed up to 20% better. The _81_ in productivity paid for the buildings higher construction costs within a year. Despite its benefits and its growing popularity, green architecture i
37、s still not as popular as expected. The main _82_ is co-ordination(协调), for green buildings require much more planning by architects, engineers, builders and developers than traditional buildings. But, without doubt, green architecture will _83_ to reshape the construction industry over the next fiv

60、ll gifts is strongly recommended (C)People are more likely to lie or cheat during the afternoon because self controlreduces during the day, according to researchers.Volunteers taking part in two experiments where they could benefit by cheating were more likely to do so if the tests took place after
61、midday, researchers found.The findings back up previous studies which have shown that our capacity for self-control declines during the day, due to tiredness and repeatedly making decisions.Psychologists from Harvard University first showed a group of volunteers various patterns of dots on a compute
62、r screen, asking them to decide whether there were more dots on the left or the right hand side.Instead of being rewarded for getting the answer right, the participants were paid based on which side they chose, earning ten times as much for choosing the right hand side as the left.People who were te
63、sted after midday were significantly more likely to select the right hand side, even if there were clearly more dots on the left, than those who took part during the morning.In a second test, participants were shown a series of word fragments, such as “ral” and “ec” and asked which words they associ
64、ated with them.In morning experiments, participants were more likely to form the words “moral” and “ethical” while during the afternoon the words “coral” and “effects” were most common.Further tests conducted online showed that people were more likely to send dishonest messages or claim to have solv
65、ed an unsolvable problem in the afternoon than in the morning.Writing the Psychological Science journal, the researchers said the difference was particularly pronounced in people with higher ethical standards, who always behaved morally during the morning but slipped during the afternoon. In contras
66、t, those who were able to “morally disengage”, or behave unethically without feeling guilty, tended to cheat whatever the time of day.Dr. Maryam Kouchaki, one of the lead authors, said: “Unfortunately, the most honest people, such as those less likely to morallydisengage, may be the most susceptible
67、 (易受影响的) to the negative consequences associated with the morning morality effect.”The findings could be relevant to organizations that should be more alert about the behavior of customers and employees during the afternoon, she added. “Our findings suggest that mere time of day can lead to a system
68、atic failure of good people to act morally.”92. Volunteers can get more money when they _.A. gave the correct answerB. chose the right hand sideC. chose the left hand sideD. remembered the patterns of dots93. Why are participants less likely to form words like “ethical”, “moral” in the afternoon?A.
69、Because their vocabulary becomes smaller.B. Because they are unwilling to tell the truth.C. Because the words are the voice of their heart.D. Because self control declines after midday.94. The underlined word “pronounced” ( in paragraph 10 ) is closest in meaning to _.A. dominatedB. announcedC. mark
70、edD. exposed95. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The finding especially applies to those who behave ethically.B. Mere time of day can lead to systematic failure of organizations.C. The finding doesnt agree with that of previous studies.D. People who act morally feel guilty after telling
71、a lie.(D)Cultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption. Who eats together defines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kin
72、d of food that is served relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for relatives and friends. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For
73、 example, only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a steak or hamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner, and those
74、who come to a family meal. In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with whom it is eaten.In some New Guinea societies, the nuclear family is not the unit that eats together. The men take their meals in a mens house, separately from their wives and children. Women prepa
75、re and eat their food in their own houses and take the husbands portion to the mens house. The women eat with their children in their own houses. This pattern is also widespread among Near Eastern societies.Eating is a metaphor that is sometimes used to signify marriage. In many New Guinea societies
76、, like that of the Lese on the island of New Ireland in the Pacific and that of the Trobriand Islanders, marriage is symbolized by the couples eating together for the first time. Eating symbolizes their new status as a married couple. In U.S. society, it is just the reverse. A couple may go out to d
77、inner on a first date.Other cultural rules have to do with taboos against eating certain things. In some societies, members of a family group, arc not allowed to eat the animal or bird that is their ancestor. Since they believe themselves to be children of that ancestor, it would be like eating that
78、 ancestor or eating themselves.There is also an association between food prohibitions and rank, which is found in its most extreme form in the caste (social class) system of India. A caste system consists of ranked groups, each with a different economic specialization. In India, there is an associat
79、ion between caste and the idea of pollution. Members of highly ranked groups can be polluted by coming into contact with the bodily secretions, particularly saliva（唾液）,of individuals of lower-ranked castes. Because of the fear of pollution, Brahmans and other high-ranked individuals will not share f
80、ood with, not eat from the same plate as, not even accept food from an individual or from a low-ranking class.96. According to the passage, who will NOT eat together?A. The English during regular meals.B. Americans on their first date.C. Men and women in Near Eastern societies.D. Newly-married peopl
81、e on the island of New Ireland.97. In Paragraph 4, the underlined word taboos means _.A. favors B. prohibitions C. hatred D. gossips98. According to the passage, eating together indicates all the following EXCEPT .A. the type of food B. social relations.C. marital status D. family ties.99. What is t
