However, German scientists are certain that this material may soon be replaced. The new development-liquid wood-can replace plastics in all branches of modern industries.‎ Plastic as a material enjoys the biggest demand in the modem world, but it does have a number of disadvantages. First, plastic is not recyclable. Second, it contains poisons that can cause cancer. Finally, plastic is made of oil, which is not endless. The liquid wood technology is able to replace plastic and providing mankind with new materials for marry years ahead. Arboforn is a new material, which can be got from soft tissues(组织) of wood. Once mixed with several other ingredients(成分), it turns into solid and non-poisonous material.‎ The wood -working industry separates wood into three basic things including lignin(木质素), which is not used for the production of paper. Specialists of the Faunhofer Institute mixed lignin with several natural materials and thus invented the material which could be melted and moulded(铸造).‎ When solid arboform looks like plastic and possesses the qualities of wood, it ‎ can be used for the production of any items.‎ Arboform is already used for the production of car parts. However, the new invention does not enjoy a wide use due to the high content of sulphur(硫) in it. German researchers believe that they will be able to reduce the amount of sulphur by 90 percent very soon to make arboform usable for home needs.‎ In addition, liquid wood can be recycled repeatedly. The analysis of arboform showed that the material had all of its qualities even if it was reprocessed ten times.‎ ‎21. From the passage we learn that liquid wood________‎ A. has replaced plastic B. is made from natural oil C. has been widely used in household D. can be recycled repeatedly ‎22. It can be concluded that German researchers will focus their future work firstly on the__________‎ A. material's wide use B. content of sulphur in arboform C. production cost of arboform D. qualities of liquid wood ‎23. Which of the following is NOT true?‎ A. Lignin contains poisons that can cause cancer.‎ B. Plastic does harm to our society in many ways.‎ C. The liquid wood helps to protect our environment D. Arboform isn't usable for home need at present.‎ ‎24. The best title of the passage should be__________‎ A. Plastic Has a Number of Disadvantages B. A New Material-Plastic C. Liquid Wood to Replace Plastic D. How to Protect Arboform B Blue-eyed people have been living in Europe for at least 7,000 years, scientists have discovered. A man who lived on the Iberian Peninsula before Europeans became farmers probably had blue eyes but dark hair and skin, according to scientists who have sequenced (按序排列 ) his DNA. This surprising combination of eye, hair and skin coloring may not have ‎ been unusual during his lifetime, but it is no longer seen among modern Europeans, reported by the journal Nature. The man, a Neolithic hunter-gatherer known to scientists as La Brana 1, is of great interest to scientists because he offers a snapshot of what was in Europeans' DNA before agriculture (农业)spread through the continent. Experts have understood that certain genetic(基因的)feature spread quickly among humans after they led the farming lifestyle. La Brana 1 shows that at least some of their predictions were correct. The man's skeleton, along with that of a male companion, was discovered in 2006 in a cave in what is now northeastern Spain. The site, known as La Brana-Arintero, sits about 5, 000 feet above sea level, and the cave provided a cold, refrigerator-like environment that preserved his DNA. In the lab, scientists were able to take out enough DNA from a single tooth to reconstruct La Brana I's entire genome (基因组). They compared it to the DNA of other ancient Europeans and determined that he was a closer match with hunter-gatherers than with farmers. When it came to genes that would influence La Brana I's appearance, the researchers found that their 7,000-year-old subject had versions of two skin pigment(色素) genes that are either very rare or nonexistent among Europeans today. Then they looked at other places in the genome that influence pigmentation and found a mix of ancient and modern gene variants(变体). Taken together, La Brana 1's DNA “is likely to have resulted in dark skin pigmentation and dark or brown hair," they wrote. However, his DNA indicates that his eyes were most likely blue, the scientists found. This suggests that gene variants for light-colored eyes and skin did not spread together, they wrote, adding that La Brana 1's combination “of dark skin and non-brown eyes is unique and no longer present in contemporary European populations. " Today, a blue-eyed person would usually have fair skin. ‎ ‎ To get some idea of whether La Brana 1's coloring was unusual for his day, the researchers will try to sequence the DNA of his companion, who has been named La Brana 2. 25. Why scientists are interested in La Brana 1 A. They can know Europeans' DNA. B. They can know European hunter-gatherers' DNA.‎ C They can know the ancient agriculture in Europe. D. They can know some of their predictions were correct. 26. La Brana 1 was well preserved due to________ . A. dry weather B. a high cave C. proper protection D. cold conditions 27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. La Brana 1's DNA influences his appearance.‎ B. La Brana 1's appearance influences contemporary Europeans. C. La Brana 1's gene variants spread together. D. La Brana 1's gene is completely different from the contemporary Europeans'.‎ ‎28. The last paragraph suggests that_______.‎ A. La Brava 2 has the same genome with La Brava 1‎ B. Blue-eyed people were common in Europe 7,000 years ago C. Brana l's combination of dark skin and non-brown eyes is unique D. It's not certain that La Brava's appearance was common at his time C ‎ What you think of a forest, what do you see? Just trees? Or do you see many other things, such as small insects, worms, restless squirrels, singing birds, and colorful plants?‎ ‎ The forest is a whole world of its own. It is full of many different living things. However ,even though they are all different, they have one thing in common: they all need each other in order to survive.‎ ‎ Trees feed the animals of the forest. They make food in their leaves by using sunlight to combine water and minerals (矿物质) absorbed (吸收) from the soil and air. Their network of roots sticks into the soil and helps trees absorb water, making it possible ‎ for creature to live in it.‎ The earthworms, who live on the forest floor, also help to keep the soil livable and full of nutrients (营养). Their holes in the ground allow air and water, which bear many minerals, to pass freely through the soil.‎ Insects, who eat the leaves of the trees, are the main food of birds. Feeding on the insects, birds help keep forest life in balance by preventing the insects from overrunning the forest.‎ Squirrels also play their part. They feed on the seeds of the trees, yet they, like the birds, use the branches of the trees for their homes.‎ ‎ Human beings are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to survive. We rely on farmers to grow food, trick drivers to bring it to local stores, and salesmen to sell it. We need people to prepare and cook food, and others to take garbage away. Then, of course, we need doctors and nurses to take care of us when we are sick, mail carriers, telephone operators, and newspaper delivery (递送)people to keep us in touch, as well as scientists, engineers and government leaders to improve how we live.‎ ‎ We also need each other in another way. We need people to talk over our problems with us, to exchange ideas, and just to chat about everyday happenings with us. Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived without the companionship of other people.‎ Life is a matter of give and take. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to help us. Besides, think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else!‎ ‎29. What can we know from the passage?‎ A. Trees make it possible for living things to live in the forest.‎ B. Earthworms keep the soil wet by producing water.‎ C. Birds prevent insects from eating too many tree leaves.‎ D. Trees can gain nutrients from other animals in the forest.‎ ‎30. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. The forest is very crowded. B. One tree does not make a forest.‎ C. All living things need one another. D. Humans are like trees.‎ ‎31. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?‎ A. A science book. B. A guidebook. C. A lesson plan. D. An advertisement.‎ D Autonomous (自动的) cars, self-driving cars, robotic cars, or driverless cars -whatever you call them - are coming to a showroom (陈列室) near you.‎ It might take a couple of years, but few people at the Geneva Motor Show would disagree that one day science fantasy (}GJ ) will become reality.‎ However, while Google, BMW, Ford and IBM have been working on the technology (技术), less attention has been given to what it means for passengers. The Swiss company, Rinspeed, has tried to show the future with its concept car（概念车）Xchange.‎ ‎"I wanted to put the passenger at the centre of what is possible, not the autonomous driving technology," says Rinspeed's founder Frank Rinderknecht. "Travelling in a driverless car will no longer require me to stare at the road, but will let me spend my time in a more meaningful way. You can work, sleep, read, or do whatever activities you might do on a train or a plane.‎ ‎"But driverless cars will not mean the death of driving", Mr Rinderknecht says. There will be times when a driver will want to drive. "Most driving is boring because you are just driving miles and miles. If I go on the motorway from London to Birmingham, it's not very joyful. However, if I go over a mountain road, I want to drive myself and I don't want the machine to do it."‎ The safety matter will be a big challenge for companies of autonomous cars.‎ Mr Rinderknecht is already thinking beyond this concept car. "There will come a time when we will be travelling in a container, with no airbags or seatbelts because the chances of an accident will be so small." But the real challenge may not be technological, but emotional. Convincing people to travel in a driverless car will be difficult.‎ ‎"We know that nine out of ten plane crashes are due to pilot's error. But if you go to Heathrow Airport and you are required to make a choice between planes with two pilots or with no pilot, I know which one you will trust. It may require a generation ‎ before people accept it, but it will happen", he says.‎ ‎32. When developing its Xchange concept car, Rinspeed has focused on______‎ A. ensuring the cars' safety B. advancing car-making skills C. improving passengers' riding experience D. developing autonomous driving technology ‎33. According to Mr Rinderknecht, what will be the real challenge for driverless cars?‎ A. Ensuring their complete safety. B. Persuading people to accept them.‎ C. Making them affordable to the public. D. Setting out relative laws and rules.‎ ‎34. According to Mr Rinderknecht, in the future________‎ A. driverless cars will be safer B. driverless cars will help save more gas C. driverless cars will be environmentally friendly D. driving driverless cars will become interesting ‎35. What's Mr Rinderknechnt's attitude towards the future of driverless cars?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Uncertain. D. Confident.‎ 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。‎ After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you.‎ ‎1 .Go to class. If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks is important. As a result, you'll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test. 36.______________‎ ‎.2. Take good notes. Try not to write down everything. 37. _____________Write down unfamiliar terms. After class, review your notes as soon as possible. You can fill in details that you missed and review the material while it is still fresh on your mind.‎ ‎3.38._________If you are struggling in class, talk to your teacher. He or she may be able to give you more help before or after class. Most teachers have little sympathy ‎(同情)for students who just become worried about failing during the last few weeks of the grading period.‎ ‎4. Take part in class discussions. 39.___________Asking questions and having eye contact with your teachers and classmates can increase your participation(参与)and your focus during the class discussion. If the material is difficult, you'd better read it before class. This helps you make your point clear in class.‎ ‎5. Form study group. Get students together who want to do well in class. Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time re-teaching material to people who do not understand it. 40.____________ Sometimes group sessions(上课时间)can become chatting sessions.‎ A. But be careful!‎ B. Don't be late for your class.‎ C. Talk to your teacher if you need help.‎ D. You should write down all the new terms.‎ E. So if you want to study well, go to every class.‎ F.
