Not long after fi

Two years later, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets.Steller said, “I cant fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.” Stellerlistens to peoples s

25、tories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet.An offshoot of the Red Chair Project is the Steller Kindness Project, in which people who commit acts of kindness are invited for a free makeover (美容) at Stellers salon. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares on he

30、rn world. But it did a good job of bringing the idea of cloning dinosaurs into popular culture. It represented dinosaur cloning in a way that made sense to a lot of people, and it was a successful film, making more than $900 million worldwide.Jurassic Park built on the idea of getting DNA from mosqu

31、itoes kept in amber. While this might seem possible at first sight, its highly unlikely that scientists could find usable dinosaur DNA in mosquito fossils. Scientists would need a very specific samplea female mosquito that had taken lots of dinosaur blood immediately before being trapped in amber. S

32、ince fossilization in amber is a relatively rare event, the chances of this happening are pretty small.The lack of possible samples isnt the only problem. Most insect fossils found in amber are also too young to contain dinosaur blooddinosaurs were gone by the time the insects became trapped. Many i

33、nsects went bad from the inside out after they were trapped, leaving nothing inside for scientists to try to find. Finally, the sample would have to be very dry, since DNA can break down quickly in the presence of water.But if researchers did find a perfectly kept mosquito with a body full of dinosa

34、ur blood, bringing back its DNA would still be difficult. The blood with the dinosaur DNA would be surrounded by the body of an insect, which has its own DNA.

Ways of cloning dinosaursDFor many, music is as important to the human experience as eating and breathing. We hear music everywhereat home, the gym, parties and stores. But what kind of

38、 music do we prefer to listen to, and when and why do our musical preferences change?The relationship between the change of seasons and musical preferences was the focus of a study led by psychologist Terry Pettijohn. He and his team based their research on a previous study that examined the relatio

39、nship between popular music preferences and the Environmental Security Hypothesis ( 假设). The results showed that over time, when social and financial conditions were more risky, the songs of the year that were slower, longer, more comforting and serious were most popular. And during periods in which

40、 social and financial conditions were generally stable, the result is opposite.Building on these findings, Pettijohn and his team wondered if the Hypothesis could also be applied to the change of seasons. For college students, the participants in this study autumn begins at the start of the academic

41、 school year. Gone are the carefree days of summer，when school is out. When summer comes clocks fall back, stealing an hour of daylight, which feel like losing precious time. Winter means colder temperatures, shorter days, and, in many places in the country, snow. Spring, however, is a different sto

As students walk into summer, theyre absorbed in the sunshine and social activityand enjoy a break from school.But do changing seasonal conditions influence musical preferences? To answer this questi

43、on, the researchers designed two studies. What did they find? Both groups of college students favored more serious music during the seasons of fall and winter, and more active and energetic music during the spring and summer seasons. And these findings, Pettijohn argues, have practical significances

44、.32. What is the purpose of the question raised in Paragraph 1?A. To present a different opinion on music.B. To prove where to listen to music matters.C. To introduce the topic on musical preferences.D. To stress the importance of music to humans.33. What influences a persons choice of music types a

45、ccording to the previous study?A. Whether one has enough free time.B. Whether one lives in a stable situation.C. Whether one is exposed to sunlight.D. Whether one chooses to change his life.34. What does Paragraph 3 imply?A. Spring has a special meaning to people.B. Students arent fond of school in

46、any season.C. The Hypothesis disagrees with Pettijohns studies.D. The length of summer time is longer than winter time.35. How does Pettijohn feel about the findings of his studies?A. Its unexpected.B. Its significant.C. Its humorous.D. Its discouraging.第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项

47、中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。BE A GOOD TOURISTTourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals, but it may also bring some problems. 36 Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum

48、in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and many, many other places. Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to death”. 37 If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someones life with kindness and love. Pass kind

49、ness along to future generations, not destruction.Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing the local people and life. 38 For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking throu

50、gh their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students and disturbing their studies. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate. 39The number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing r

51、oads without observing local traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve the issue of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one! 40 Remember, whenever you step outside your countrys borders, you are representing your country to the rest of the world.A. Just think from other as

52、pects.B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.C. Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.D. Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist if possible.E. I have three words for people like this: please stop it.F. One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited someplace.G. So
