We had been to Boston many times, but this trip was different. My

2、 mother is white and my father is black, and her family didnt approve of their marriage. So Ive grown up really knowing only my moms three cousins. I was 14 that summer and meeting my great-aunt Virginia for the first time. We had a nice lunch on Cape Cod. At first it was a bit awkward, as she was t

3、alking about other family members I didnt know. As we spent more time talking, I became more and more interested in the stories she was telling. Afterward, we went to her house for dessert. My mom and great-aunt reminisced (追忆往事), but for my mom it became a reminder of all the lost years. While they

4、 were talking, my brother and I went into the basement. She was getting ready to move, and there wasnt much down there, but an old, green metal box caught my attention. Aunt Virginia told me I could have whatever I wanted. She said the first-aid kit (成套工具) was her late husbands , and that he had bee

5、n a World War II soldier. When I opened the box, all the original medical tools and bandages were intact (完好无损的).

8、ivided family BFor my community service, I performed one major job. I played the piano for the residents (居民) at the Longview Nursing Home. If you had asked me two years ago if I could ever imagine myself doing something like this, I would have thought you were crazy. I made arrangements with Susan

9、Lawful, director of the nursing home, to play songs every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon for two hours. Together with one of the residents, Mrs. Miller, I selected songs to play that the elderly citizens would enjoy and would be able to sing along with if they wanted to. Their favorite song was “Pre

10、tty Baby”. One of the men at the home liked that song so much that he danced along with the music every time we sang. Playing music was good for the residents and me. I developed a really great friendship with Mrs. Miller. I can honestly say this is the first person I ever really made a friend with

11、who is two generations away from me. Also, it was always pleasant to see the smiles on the residents faces whenever I showed up to play. We were all a little nervous the first couple of times I did it, but by about the third time, they would wave and greet me with lots of “hi s” when I got there. No

12、w, I feel connected with the people from the nursing home and I know I helped make them feel happier and not quite so lonely. Being a responsible citizen means being there for other people, not just looking out for yourself or for your friends. There is an endless variety of ways in which a person c

13、ould be a responsible citizen: helping someone in need, serving on committees, coaching little children in a sport, etc. But being responsible to me means reaching out past yourself to see what you can do.

CA new report has concluded that advertising managers are becoming increasingly interested in children. St

17、udies show that children influence about 50 percent of things that families buy, so theyre an attractive target for advertisers. John Taylor, the author of the report, says “Advertisers can reach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many times during school holidays, they can

18、 make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmes to attract attention or they can sponsor programmes and show their advertisements just before the programme begins.” Most advertisements aimed at children are short, imaginative and often in the form of animated cartoons(动画片). “Children

19、 love the ads and watch them in the same way as any entertainment programme,” Taylor says. Therere concerns about advertising aimed at young people. The concerns are shared by Sarah Durham, a writer and journalist specializing in media analysis. “The most worrying thing is that children dont think c

20、arefully when they see television advertisements. Theyre less critical than adults and dont usually realize the advertisement has a persuasive message, to encourage them or their parents to spend as much money as possible on the product or service,” she says. Therere also concerns over the vast sums

21、 of money that junk food producers spend on advertising to persuade children to buy their food products. Many advertisements, argues Durham, sell food that is a lot higher in fat, salt and sugar than healthier alternatives. “Many companies target children with offers of free toys, models of cartoon

22、characters and gimmicky(耍花招的) packaging.” Government approaches to controlling advertising to children vary. In Sweden, one of the strictest countries where advertising is concerned, TV advertising to children under the age of 12 is banned. Greece bans television advertisements for childrens toys be

23、tween 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Denmark and the Netherlands also have legal controls whereas France, Britain and Germany prefer selfregulation (自动调节). Some countries are not as certain as the Swedes that advertising to children is harmful. The French argue that children need to see many advertisements so t

24、hat they can develop their ability to think as they grow up. The belief is that advertising will help children to be more aware of its persuasive power. 28. What does John Taylor mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?A. Ways in which advertisers reach children B. The time children spend watching televisi

25、on. C. Examples of successful advertising to children D. The serious problems of advertising to children 29. Why is Sarah Durham concerned about advertising aimed at children?A. TV ads limit childrens imagination.B. TV ads affect childrens brain development. C. Children lack the good sense to make d

26、ecisions. D. Children may spend lots of time watching television.30. What does Durham say about the food advertised?A. Its tasty. B. Its cheap. C. Its unhealthy. D. Its ready-made. 31. What is the Frenchs attitude toward advertising to children?A. Doubtful. B. Relaxed. C. Objective. D. Unfavorable D

27、 Scientists have finally figured out how the key gene (基因) tied to obesity makes people fat-a major discovery that could open the door to a completely new approach to the problem beyond diet and exercise. The work solves a big mystery: Since 2007, researchers have known that a gene called FTO was re

28、lated to obesity, but they didnt know how, and could not tie it to appetite (食欲) or other known causes. Now experiments show that a faulty version (缺陷型) of the gene causes energy from food to be stored as fat rather than burned. Genetic tinkering (基因修补) in mice and on human cells in the lab suggests

29、 this can be reversed(颠倒), giving hope that a drug or other treatment might be developed to do the same in people. The discovery disputes the idea that “ when people get fat it is basically their own choice because they choose to eat too much or not exercise,” said study leader Melina Claussnitzer,

30、who is a genetics specialist. “A lot of people think obesity is all about eating too much,” but our fat cells play a role in how food gets used, Dr. Clifford Rosen said. With this discovery, “you now have a pathway for drugs that can make those fat cells work differently.” Several obesity drugs are

31、already on the market, but they are generally used for short-term weight loss and are aimed at the brain and appetite. They dont directly target metabolism(新陈代谢). Researchers cant guess how long it might take before a drug based on the new findings becomes available. But its unlikely it would be a m

32、agic pill that would enable people to eat anything they want without packing on the pounds. And targeting this fat pathway could affect other things, so a treatment would need strict testing to prove safe and effective. The gene problem doesnt explain all obesity. It was found in 44 percent of Europ

33、eans but only 5 percent of blacks, so other genes clearly are at work, and food and exercise still matter.32. What is the finding of the study?A. Everyone has the obesity gene.B. The FTO gene causes obesity.C. The FTO gene increases appetite.D. Diet is the major cause of obesity.33. What does the un

34、derlined word “disputes” in Paragraph4 probably mean?A. Supports. B. Explains C. Produces. D. Challenges.34. What do we know about the current obesity drugs?A. They have few side effects.B. They speed up peoples metabolismC. They have proved to be safe and effective. D. They help to take away people

35、s appetite.35. What is the authors attitude toward the obesity treatment?A. Unconcerned B. Doubtful C. Cautious D. Optimistic第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 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。 Rain forest Thick forests found in wet areas of the world are called rain forests. Most people are famili
