31、freedom at any cost. But are all kinds of freedom worth seeking? One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds moving anddancing. As the strong winds blew against th

32、e kites, a string kept them in check. Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (约束) string and the tail kept them being pulled along, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled again

33、st the string, they seemed to say, Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free! They flew beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. Free at last, it seemed to say. Free to fly with the wind. Yet freedom from restraint, simply pu

34、t, is at the mercy of an unsympathetic soft wind. It soon fell to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush.

35、ike kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us misfortunes and restrictions, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Restraint is a necessary match for thewinds of opposition. Some of us fought at the rules so hard that we never fly to reach the heights we might have obtained. We

36、keep part of the rules or laws and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground. Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the restraints that we may feel annoyed about are actually the steady force that helps us go up and achieve.36.

The passage is probably written for_.A. general people B.

40、 teenagers C. freedom seekers D. parentsD When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you ever wonder why you look the way you do? No two faces look exactly alike, making a human face as unique as a fingerprint. Genetics obviously play a major role-no two faces share the same DNA. But even in identi

41、cal twins, who have the same DNA, there are still small differences in their appearances. So what is it that makes each face different? The answer lies in a small piece of you NDA called a gene enhancer, according to a study published in the journal Science. There are thousands of enhancers in the h

42、uman genome (基因组), study leader Axel Visel, a research with Berkeley Lab, US, told Discovery. According to Visel, these DNA pieces act like switches, turning genes on and off and therefore determining whether a certain facial feature develops in a fetus (胎儿) while it is still in the womb (子宫). Whats

43、 interesting about gene enhancers is that they dont have to be found anywhere close to the genes they affect. They are able to control their targets from far away, which makes them even more influential. To test how powerful these special DNA pieces are in shaping the face, researchers deleted three

44、 of the gene enhancers in mice and compared them with normal mice at 8 weeks of age. The results showed that each enhancer deletion caused a distinct set of differences in the shape of the face-for example, causing an increase or decrease in facial length or width. In fact, scientists first noticed

45、the existence of gene enhancer long ago, but they called them. junk DNA back then because they didnt produce prcteins and were thought to have no biological function. But now its increasingly clear that importantfunctions are deeply and firmly fixed in this junk, Visel told New Scientist. Understand

46、ing this may help scientists learn why and how things go wrong as a fetus develops, leading to facial defects (变异) such as cleft lips (唇腭裂). While some of these defects are caused by genetic mutations (变异), researchers want to study whether gene enhancers also play a role.41. The main purpose of the

47、 first paragraph is _.A. to arouse readers interest to go further readingB. to encourage readers to look at himself in the mirrorC. to invite readers to answer a scientific questionD. to remind the readers that everyones face is different42. Which of the following, statement is True according to the

48、 passage?A. A humans face is determined by his fingerprints.B. No identical twins have exactly the same appearance.C. Its unknown what makes each face different.D. People with the same DNA have the same faces.43. According to the passage, gene enhancers_.A. play an important role in shaping ones fac

49、eB. can only affect the genes they are close toC. are not so powerful as the scientists expectedD. are not found by scientist until recently44. Why are gene enhancer called as junk DNA ?A. Because they had no biological function.B. Because they looked like the junks.C. Because they only affected the

50、 facial characteristics.D. Because they didnt produce proteins.45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Development of solving problems of facial birth defects.B. A new discovery of genetics is found by the journal Science.C. Gene enhancers determine facial characteristics.D. How facial feature d

70、et sick and miss out on active playtime. When talking about homework for students, some people believe that the more, the better. But I am strongly against this idea. To start with, too much homework is more likely to result in students doing it in haste and making more mistakes. Besides, more doesn

71、t mean better. When teachers have to constantly prepare exercises for students, it will be much harder for them to focus on the quality of the material. When it comes to the homework in our grade, I think few will deny the fact that we are really assigned much more homework than we can finish. I understand why teachers give us so much homework, but I still suggest our homework be limited to a reasonable degree. Whats more, more attention should be paid to the quality of the material. Only with well-designed and reasonable amount of homework can we make the most of it to improve our studies.
