"Friends are the family you choose " Do you know why? A new study by Yale University and the University
of California San Diego can give us some reasons.
Scientists studied the genes( 基因) of almost 2 ,000 people. Some of these people were friends, others were simply strangers. Scientists found that friends had more genes in common than strangers.
Pairs of friends had similar genes as people do with a distant relative(远亲). This is about the human genome(人类基因组). Although l% may not sound like much to geneticists(遗传学) , it is an important number.
Most people don't even know who their distant relatives are, yet we are somehow able to choose people who
are like our relatives as friends. " Nicholas Christakis, a social scientist at university told Live Science.
This might be because similar genes make people visit similar places, or similar genes mean people will have similar skills.
The most common gene that friends have is the "olfactory" gene. It affects (影响) a person's sense of smell. Imagine that you and someone else both like the smell of trees. You may often visit a park. Therefore, you may likely meet that other person and become friends.
As a result of the study, scientists set an interesting test called the" friendship source". The test can tell whether two people could be friends by studying their genes.
Do you want to know who will be your friends with the help of the test?
31. According to the passage, how many people may not sound like much to geneticists among 2,000 people?
A. 10.
B. 20.
C.100.
D. 200.
32. According to the study, scientists found that friends had .
A. more genes in common than strangers
B. fewer genes in common than strangers
C. fewer genes in common than distant relatives【出处：21教育名师】
D. more genes in common than distant relatives
33. What's the meaning of "olfactory" in the passage?
A.听觉的
B.视觉的
C.嗅觉的

Some people think that singing can lift our spirits. There are some other people who don't think so. They don't like singing and they say singing can never make them happy. I don't agree with that. I think singing can make us feel good. Of course they can lift our spirits. Let me tell you more about that.
Some researchers once did some surveys and have proved it is true. They say that singing can bring a number
of health benefits(好处).If you sing with your friends, the effects(效果) may be even better.
John Lennon is a retired professor of Vocal Performance at Emporia State University. He says, "Singing is an inborn(天生的) need. Babies sing to themselves and they seem so happy. Like babies, when we sing, we feel so good and singing makes us feel even better. I like singing and I am happy every day. "
Music is a part of human nature. And singing is a form of expression that is understood by everyone. Some people say that music is like a kind of language. The language can show people's opinions and attitudes to their life. Some songs can cheer people up when they are in trouble. Some songs can make people happy and excited. That's why the TV show The Voice of China is popular among people.
34. Some researchers say that singing can take to people.21·世纪*教育网
A. mental problems
B. health benefits
C. much sadness
D. some pressure
35. The show The Voice of China is popular because .

You either have it, or you don't-a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others will lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly
understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't
use it, we lose it.
“ Childr e n as young as seven have the ability to find their way around," says Jim Maryland, research director of the project. "However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills. "
Jim Maryland also emphasizes（强调）that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to the way you are facing.
If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree-- something easy to recognize（认出）.Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
Simplify(简化)the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in
the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
Now you will never get lost again !
38. Children have the ability to find the way around when they are
years old.
A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 8
39. Jim Maryland says that young people should
A. be taught certain skills
B. improve their study grades
C. drive more carefully
D. be taught more patiently
40. Scientist believe that
A. some babies are born with a sense of direction
B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C. people never lose their sense of direction .
D. everybody has a sense of direction from birth
41. What may be the best title of the passage? '
A. A research on feelings.
B. A sense of direction.
C. People's ability of finding the way.
D. Scientists' research on skills.

Time is in the year 2095. It is reported that a comet(彗星) is rushing towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our earth, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of our planet.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
On 15 July, a piece about four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere(大气层) with a massive（巨大的）explosion(爆炸). About half of the piece is destroyed but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. A hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned（淹死）.
Before the waves arrive in South America, the second piece of the comet hits Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes(火山爆发) are set off in the AndesMountains（安第斯山脉）. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north
won't escape it for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust（灰尘）, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are destroyed. The sun won't be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn't live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end? 21教育网

第三节，听独白，回答问题，读两遍
W: When I have something difficult to do, I always ask my mom, "Could you help me?" But she always says, "Do
it yourself dear." Then I get so sad. I think she is a lazy mother.
For example, one day, I invited some friends to my home. My bedroom was out of order. Books were all over
the table and the ground. So I asked my mother to help me. But she said seriously, "Do it yourself, girl." So I did it
myself.
Because of my "lazy" mom, I am supposed to wash my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents
do some housework. I even have to go to the dentist by myself if l have a toothache. It's really hard to do
everything on my own, but I have learned a lot.
But now, I understand my mother. It's her "laziness" that makes me clever and hard-working. And she is also a
good teacher.

What should a g00d teacher be like?
Students and parents have different opinions about what a good teacher should be like.
As for students, they think a good teacher should get along well with their students. And they are supposed
to make their classes lively and interesting.
However, parents think differently from students. For them, a good teacher should first have plenty of knowledge. At the same time, they are expected to be strict with their students.21·cn·jy·com
In my opinion, the most important thing for a good teacher is to love students. They should try to encourage students when they have problems with their studies. What's more, they should help their students learn how to learn.
