A

Do you know that a turtle can lay 12 eggs in one minute? A large sea turtle lays around 150 eggs at a time. She lays all these eggs in just a few minutes.

Large sea turtles live in the warm seas of the world. Except for when they lay their eggs, they spend their whole lives in the water. When it is time to lay their eggs, the females swim to land. They usually return to the place where they themselves were born. How they find their way back there is unknown.

When they reach shore, the big, heavy turtles crawl slowly up to the high water mark. Using their flippers, they pull themselves along the sand. They must struggle like mountain climbers. When they finally reach dry sand, they rest before beginning the difficult task of laying eggs.

The turtles lay the eggs in deep holes and cover them with warm sand. The sand protects the eggs from harm. Then the females leave them. After a few weeks, if you happened to be walking along the beach, you might see the sand begin to shake. You may see tiny black balls coming out of the sand. The tiny heads of baby turtles!

41. Which sentence expresses the main idea?

B. Sea turtles swim to shore to lay their eggs.

C. Large sea turtles lay their eggs in special ways.

D. Sea turtles enjoy staying in the sand.

B. female turtles protect their babies

C. once turtles land, they never return to the sea.

D. the job of laying eggs takes great strength.

44. The writer compares turtles to climbers ___________.

A. because they lay their eggs in mountain areas.

B. to give you a picture of how hard they work

C. to tell you that they like to climb.

D. to show that mountain climbers are as slow as turtles.

B

DNA is a substance that makes up genes. Everything alive has genes. Plants have genes. Animals have genes. You have genes. Genes are the basic units of heredity (遗传). Heredity means all the characteristics you inherit from your parents. You get your genes from your parents. You inherit half of your genes from your mother. You inherit half of your genes from your father. Genes are a kind of code. A tree’s genes tell what shape its leaves will be. A cat’s genes tell what color its fur will be. Your genes tell what color your eyes will be. Your genes tell what color your hair will be. Everything about you comes from the code in your genes. Genes line up on strands called chromosomes in cells. Everything alive is made up of cells. Chromosomes are in the center, or nucleus, of cells.

An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel first saw inherited patterns in pea plants. He experimented with pea plants in the 1860s. One of the things, or traits (特征), Mendel studied was what makes some pea plants tall and some short. He said that the traits must come from units of heredity passed from the parent plants. These units were called genes.

In the mid-1900s, scientists discovered that genes are made of DNA. In the 1970s, scientists learned how to change DNA with genetic engineering. Scientists also learned that problems with certain genes cause diseases. Muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia are some genetic diseases—diseases caused by problems in genes. Today, scientists are looking for ways to cure genetic diseases by altering genes through a process called gene therapy.

In , the Beijing Municipal government led the nation in issuing an order banning electric bicycles from January 1, . Since then a number of local governments have followed this.

In May, the Legislature of Zhuhai in South China’s Guangdong Province bec ame the first law-making body in the country to pass a regulation to keep electric bicycles off the roads.

They claim environmental disadvantage and concerns over public safety justify their ban.

They also mention interference with automobiles, common bikes and passers-by that results in accidents or slowed traffic.

But none of these arguments justify the ban.

In the first place, it should be made clear that while operating, the battery driving an electric bike sends out almost no polluting gas. They are much cleaner than cars. If the batteries, which can be used for one or two years, are thrown away without proper treatment or recycling,

environmental damage is highly likely.

It is required that electric bike producers and store sellers sign recycling contracts to ensure consumers can sell used batteries back to producers. In practice, some small producers neglect their recycling responsibility, causing concern for environmental pollution.

It is clear the authorities can solve the problem through strengthening management. Although it will require some extra efforts from the government, it does not go beyond government officials’ call of duty.

Regarding the speed, there are technical standards governing the production of electric bikes. According to the standards, the designed speed should be limited to a maximum of 20 kilometers per hour. This is slower than the top speed of some mountain bikes.

To cater to the consumer desire for higher speed, some manufacturers have made it easy to remove speed-limiting devices after purchase, which is potentially very dangerous.

To make the bicycles safer, local governments should draft regulations specifying severe punishments for rule-breakers. The black sheep should be picked up and punished, but violations by a small number of manufacturers or riders should not be an excuse to spoil the fun for everyone.

57. What is the author's attitude towards banning electric bicycles？

A . Positive B. Negative C. Neutral D. Not mentioned

58. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Beijing will be the first city in China to ban electric bicycles starting this year.

B. Zhuhai rather than Beijing is the first to make law to forbidden the use of electric bicycle.

C. More than one local government has decided to ban the use of electric bicycles.

D. Shanghai is not one of the cities, which have determined to ban electric bicycles.

59. The underlined phrase can best be replaced by ___________.

A. satisfy

B. delay

C. promote

D. reduce

60. Which of the following is not considered to be a disadvantage by those who want to ban electric bicycles?

A. The used batteries will pollute the environment.

B.The dangerous speed.

C. More accidents and slow traffic

D. Some producers neglect their recycling responsibility

According to a survey carried out by Horizon Research, Chinese senior high school students have different opinions on when to choose their majors or universities. Most students, about 82%, insist that the choices should be based on their scores after examinations; 12% of the students, however, believe that the choices should be made directly after the examinations. Interestingly, there are still 6% of the students holding the idea that the choice should be carried out before exams.

Personally, I would rather choose my favorite major and university after knowing the exact test score. Having known the test score, we can make a proper choice. Yet the other two will add up more blindness when we make our choices. In addition, if the choices are made before exams, it may bring anxiety to us, which of cause will have negative effect on our performances in the exams
