They were more than happy to helpWe went outside and got my bikeInstead of running away and hiding behind，I stood in front of my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad remove

20、d the training wheels I got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calmMy dad started to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off.

24、 D. Concentration.CThe Chinese brake fern (蜈蚣草) which is native to Asia, southern Europe, Africa and Australia has a unique ability: It can take in high quantities of arsenic (砷), a harmful heavy metal, from the soil and store it without dying. Now, a team of scientists from Purdue University has fi

25、nally unlocked the secrets of how the plant is able to do this. The findings could have important significance because soil and groundwater polluted with arsenic are a potential risk to hundreds of millions of people around the world.Currently, cleaning up the toxic (有毒的) metal is a laborious and ve

26、ry expensive process. However, the scientists hope that the Chinese brake fern could hold the key to a more effective solution. “Other researchers have shown that this fern, when grown on arsenic-polluted soil, can remove almost 50 percent of the arsenic in five years,”said lead researcher Jody Bank

27、s in a statement.“It takes time, but its cheap.” Furthermore, the team said that the new findings could one day be used to genetically (从基因方面) engineer other plants to suck up the toxic metal from the soil, and they should work more quickly and effectively than the Chinese brake fern, thus providing

28、 a solution that could potentially reduce the cost and time of arsenic cleanup. In general, arsenic is toxic to plants and animals due to the fact that it can cause cell death by disturbing a cells ability to produce ATP, which acts as an energy source. The Chinese brake fern, however, is quite able

29、 to prevent the process from occurring, researchers said. The team identified three genes that exhibit significant activity when the plant comes into contact (接触) with arsenic. When the scientists “turned off”these genes in experiments, they found that the plant died, stressing their importance in p

30、rotecting against arsenics toxic effects. 28. What is special about the Chinese brake fern? A. It can prevent the production of ATP. B. It can be a new source of metal. C. It can only be found in China. D. It can absorb arsenic from the soil. 29. Why did Banks mention the findings by other researche

31、rs? A. To prove the acute poisonousness of arsenic. B. To stress the significance of their new study. C. To show a cheap method of removing arsenic. D. To explain the need to clean up arsenic-polluted water. 30. How might genetic technology help solve the problem of arsenic pollution? A. By creating

32、 arsenic-resistant soil. B. By improving the Chinese brake fern. C. By changing the characteristics of arsenic. D. By making other plants clean up arsenic. 31. What did the researchers do to find the key role of the three genes? A. They got them to stop working. B. They separated them from the plant

33、. C. They compared them with other genes. D. They observed their functions separately. DMost dog owners are convinced that their fourlegged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words like “sit”， “stay” or “treat”. However, researchers have always wondered whether dogs really und

34、erstand human speech or if they rely on other information to get the meaning. For example, does the word “fetch” form a picture of a stick or ball in the dogs mind, or does the dog bring back the object based on the owners voice or gesture? A new study by scientists at Atlantas Emory University seem

35、s to indicate that “mans best friend” does indeed know what the owner is saying.The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve dogs of various kinds to train their pets to identify two toys of different materials, such as a toy animal and a ball. Once the dogs had mastered the task, they took

36、turns inside a special scanner. The owners then tested their dogs language skill by first calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize and then saying meaningless words such as “bobbu” and “bodmick” while holding up random objects the dogs hadnt seen before.The scans suggeste

37、d that the parts of the dogs brains responsible for processing sounds showed different brain patterns when they heard words they were familiar with, compared with the ones they had never heard before. While that was not enough to prove that the dogs were picturing their toys when they heard the word

38、, it did indicate some sort of recognition. The researchers believe this is an important step in understanding how dogs process language.Something even more interesting was that the dogs brains showed a higher level of neural(神经的) activity at the sound of unknown words. This is the exact opposite of

39、 what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar words. The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words to try to understand them in the hope of delighting their masters. “Dogs want to please their owners, and perhaps also want to receive prais

40、e or food，” says Emory neuroscientist Gregory Berns, senior author of the study.However, though your pet may understand human speech, the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training. “When people want to teach their dog a trick, they often use spoken commands because thats what

41、we humans prefer,” Prichard says. “From the dogs view, however, a visual command might be more effective, helping the dog learn the trick faster.”32. Whats the purpose of the new study?A. To convince dog owners to understand their dogs.B. To advise dog owners to treat their dogs kindly.C. To prove d

42、ogs follow owners order by listening.D. To test out how dogs get information from owners.33. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Inform the result of the research.B. State the process of the research.C. Stress the importance of the research.D. Introduce the subjects of the research.3

43、4. How do human brains and dog brains react to words?A. Human brains become active in unfamiliar words.B. Dog brains become delighted at unfamiliar words.C. Human brains are not sensitive to familiar words.D. Dog brains show no response to familiar words.35. What do scientists advise the owners to d

44、o in dog training?A. Give dogs oral commands. B. Teach dogs new tricks.C. Involve sight and smell. D. Encourage faster learning.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。Getting along with people can be tough. The following are some suggestions that can help you in some way.

45、Accept human nature. Humans make mistakes. People arent always nice. They also have all of the problems that you have in your life. 36 This is important to remember when you re trying to get along with people who are very difficult or seem to be ignoring you; everyone is just doing the best that the

46、y can. 37 People are all very different: that s what makes life interesting. And just like people are all different, the world is also very complex. Every situation is different, always. Just because someone doesnt make the choice that you would make or just because they take a less efficient or sma
