She made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes (染色体).‎ Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. Her family moved to Brooklyn area of new York City in 1908.Barbara was an active child with interests in sports and music. She also developed an interest in science.‎ She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics.‎ Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a master‘s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree.‎ McCintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s were not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the great economic Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand.‎ An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. It is a research center on Long Island, near New York City. McClintock started in a temporary job with the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent position with the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid.‎ By the 1970s, her discoveries had had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize.‎ ‎24. When did McClintock receive a doctorate degree?‎ A. In 1921. B. In 1923. C. In 1925. D. In 1927.‎ ‎25.

The gap-year phenomenon originated with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year．‎ This year,25,310students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service（UCAS).‎ That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. "Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with and complete their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible," he said．‎ But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students（NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship-young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education．"New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to￡15，000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods," he said．‎ ‎28．What do we learn about the gap year from the text？___‎ A．It is flexible in length. B．It is a time for relaxation.‎ C．It is required by universities. D．It is increasingly popular.‎ ‎29．According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year___．‎ A．are better prepared for college studies ‎ ‎ B．know a lot more about their future jobs C．are more likely to leave university in debt ‎ ‎ D．have a better chance to enter top universities ‎30．How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon？‎ A．He's puzzled. B．He's worried. C．He's surprised. D．He's annoyed.‎ ‎31．What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics？‎ A．Earn money for their education. B．Make plans for the new term.‎ C．Attend additional courses. D．Prepare for their graduate studies.‎ D Last Sunday the elephant keeper at London Zoo, Jim Robson, was killed by one of the elephants he loved. This was terrible, and it could be a big problem for the ‎ future of London Zoo-and maybe for all of Britain's city zoos. London Zoo said that it would move its three elephants to a wild animal park outside London. Its director-general, Michael Dixon, said, “We are sorry that the elephants are leaving. There have been elephants at London Zoo since 1831.”‎ ‎　 London Zoo is not only losing its elephants. The tigers will also leave soon and most of the bears have already gone. Outside the elephant house at London Zoo, a woman called Mary said she hoped the zoo could keep big animals. “This is the only way the young people can see animals without travelling to other countries,” she said.‎ Zoos are not very good places for animals, but they can help to keep them well. Children can also learn a lot about the animals when they visit zoos.‎ Another visitor, a man called Alan, was very angry. “If we send them back to the wild they will die. If you take away big animals, people will stop visiting London Zoo. It can survive at the moment, but it won't survive in the future.”‎ ‎　　However, Mary Rosevear, director of the Federation of Zoos, believes that city zoos can survive without keeping large animals.‎ ‎32. London Zoo has kept elephants ________.‎ A. since last Sunday B. for about one hundred years C. for nearly two hundred years D. ever since it was built ‎33. Zoos are important because ________.‎ A. they can make a lot of money B. there are many animals living in them C. there are some big animals there D. they can keep animals and help children learn about them ‎34 The underlined word “It” in the passage refers to_________.‎ A. the elephant B. London Zoo C. the bear D. the wild animal park ‎35. London Zoo might face a big problem because ________.‎ A. the elephants in the zoo will be killed B. the elephant may also kill other people C. it may have fewer visitors in the future D. no one would like to be an elephant keeper any more 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坡入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ When we eat potato chips, it’s often difficult to stop until the bag’s empty. We open a bag of chips, and before we know it, they’re all gone. So why can’t we control ourselves when it comes to eating this salty snack? 36._______.‎ Scientists at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, US, found that certain neurons (神经元) can make us want to eat salt.‎ The neurons take note of whether our bodies are short of sodium (钠), the main part of salt. 37.________.‎ To come to their conclusion, the scientists did experiments on mice. They found that when mice lack sodium, their body produces a chemical.38.________.‎ More research showed that adding salt to meals makes people enjoy their food more, which may cause us to continue eating even if we’re full.‎ Scientist from Deakin University in Australia asked healthy people to eat the same food for lunch for four weeks.39._______.‎ At the same time, the scientists measured how much these people ate. They also asked the people how they felt about each meal --- if they felt happy or were still hungry after eating, for example.‎ The results showed that salt made people consume 11 percent more food than usual. 40._______. “But when we add salt to that food, all of a sudden those controls are gone,” research Russell Keast told Time. So the next time you finish a whole bag of chips to yourself, don’t feel so bad about it --- just blame it on your brain.‎ A. Eating less salt can be difficult at first.‎ B. Then, they send signals to our brain to encourage us to eat more salt.‎ C. When eating low-salt meals, they’d better control over how much they ate.‎ D. It could be down to something inside our brain.‎ E. While too much salt can lead to health problems, not enough can cause depression.‎ F. This chemical then makes the neurons in question become active.‎ G. Each week, the amount of salt in the food was changed.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Willard Franklin came to my class half a year ago.

A tour bus carrying high school children from Boston ran off a highway exit on Friday morning, killing four children and injuring more than 30 people.

Police said the bus went down a hill and landed on its side. Two girls and two boys were killed and several other people were thrown from the bus. Thirty-six people were treated at hospitals but most are now out of danger. The school remained open on Friday. School officials were sent to the homes of the four who died. The children are very upset. Many are walking around classrooms crying and hugging each other.‎
