After mom d ied, I began visiting my father every morning before I went to work. He was weak and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange

ju ice on the kitchen table for me, along

with an unsigned note, reading, ‘Drink your juice.” Such a gesture, I knew, was as

far as my father had ever bee n able to

do in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned mom, “Why

Well , he never doesn’t father love me?”Mom frowned, “Who s aid he doesn’t love you?”“

tells me,” I complained. “He never tells me either.”She said, smiling. “But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for

this house. That’s how your father tells us he loves us.”

I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted

my fathe r to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. He owned and operated a small scrap metal (废旧金属) business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. He fed scrap steel into a device that chopped it as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my father’s body. If he didn’t feed those terrifying

blades just right, he risked serious injury. “Why d on’t you hire someone to do that for you?”mom asked him one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. “Why d on’t you hire a cook?”my father asked, giving

her one of his rare smiles.

Many y ears later, during my f irst daily visit, after drinking the juice my f ather had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, “I love you, father.”From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.

American researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “language protein(蛋白质)” in the brain.

The study, conducted by neuroscientists （神经学家）and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2

protein.The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day – over 13,000 more than men. "This study is one of the first to report a sex

said Prof difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,”　Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what

might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.

They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times

they cried out in the “ultrasonic range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice

as often, they found. But when the pups were

fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the

returned to their mother’s cage, she

brain known to be associated with vocalcalls showed the male pups have up to twice as much

Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of

female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their

mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”．The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five,

which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain

area key to language in humans.

“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels

of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex,” said Prof McCarthy.

"Our results imply Foxp2 as a component of the neurobiological basis of sex differences

in vocal communication in mammals."

8. From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A. women always speak more words than men

B. men and male rats have low levels of language protein

C. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2

D. McCarthy isn’t the fir st to find females more talkative

9. The underlined phrase “fussed over” in the third paragraph probably means______.

A. paid attention to

B. related to

C. put pressure on

D. counted on

10. The researchers carried out the experiments on rats in order to _______.

A. test which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humans

B. prove the levels of Foxp2 protein in humans and rats are different

C. determine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male rats

D. discover the association between Foxp2protein and vocal communication

11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage ?

A. Tests on humans and rats

B. Why women are the talkative sex

C. Sex differences in Foxp2 protein

D. Foxp2 protein determines oral ability

Baby girls make their way to dolls as son as

th ey can crawl(爬), and boys will head for

the toy cars, a study has shown. The findings-the first t o show consistent differences in very young babies-suggest there is a biological basis for their

prefer ences.

Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged 9 months to 36 months. They were allowed to choose from 7 toys. Some w ere boys’toys-a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls’ toys; a pink teddy,

a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could

pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and amount of time they spent playing

with each toy were recorded.

Of the youngest children (9 to 14 months), girls spent much longer time playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and the ball

than the girls did. Among the two and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of

the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ views on which toys were more appropriate

for boys or girls, and the children’s choices.

Dr Brenda Todd said, “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care

for, which may help shape their preferences. But these findings are consistent with the former idea that children show intrinsic(内在的) interest in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to moving objects, probably through hunting instincts (本能), while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby.”

12. Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because .

A. baby boys are much more active

B. baby girls like bright colors better

C. their parents treat them differently

D. there is a biological difference between them

13. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at all.

B. Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls

C. The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is.

D. Parents should teach baby boys and girls to share each other’s toys.

14. What conclusion did Dr Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?

A. Adults purposely influence the preference of babies.

B. Babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings.(环境)

C. Baby boys preferring moving toys will be good at hunting.

D. Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warmhearted.

45. Which column of a newspaper does the passage probably appear in?

A. Science.

B. Health.

C. Education.

D. Entertainment.

四、任务型阅读

You have probably heard it before, most likely from your English teacher. If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. Unfortunately, you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience.

As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience

will improve your writing. Just read for pleasure to begin with, or to learn. As you progress through the work, think about whether or not it is "easy" reading. Do you become so interested in

the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out

of place or unexpecte d? These latter situations are a chance to learn from the writer's mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how an author does "his thing". he should be able to just enjoy and learn. Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen, stop to consider why it has this effect. Also, do not spend a lot of

time analyzing the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole.

Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction（非小说）books, is to select a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common consumer rather than a critic (批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic level, however, nothing is more suitable than your devotion to reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a book's worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft（工艺）.

As you can see, there is no one simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not

to make it boring. Select authors you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer.

七、书面表达

Dear Wang Bin,

I’m glad to receive your letter, in which you asked me about how to be happy.

I’m writing to tell you what I think about it.

In my opinion, happiness is the most precious thing in life. Without it, a man

will feel discouraged and life will be dark and terrible. How to be happy then?

Firstly, do everything out of conscience, and try to do it best, which will make

yourself feel happy and satisfied. Secondly, treat others as you would have others do to you, that is to say, treat others sincerely. In addition, pay attention to

your health, which is the root of success and happiness. Remember i t’s no use being worried and sad. When you meet with some hard situation, you must try to overcome

it without any hesitation. Last but not least, live every day in an optimistic way.

If you share the ideas above with me, you’ll find your life is full of happiness

all the time.

Best wishes.

Mary
