30、数：1，分数：10.00)Art is fun; it caters to the basic creative instinct which is present in everyone. It can impart a great feeling of achievement especially to children who as yet have not been able to gain much of a sense of success from their other efforts in life. It also helps backward children to de

31、velop mentally and physically. Their confidence grows as they experience success in art, and a confident child learns more easily than a tense one. Physically handicapped children benefit because their motor control improves as they attempt to make more delicate movements with their hands and as the

32、y gradually impose more control upon themselves.Art is particularly valuable to mentally handicapped children who find it difficult to communicate their ideas and emotions and who perhaps even find it difficult to comprehend themselves. Subnormal children with very limited vocabularies may find that

33、 painting is easier than talking, and through painting they are able to express ideas, emotions, and reactions to situations and experiences.Children need to communicate in two ways. First, they have to convey information to other people, often about their immediate requirements concerning both tang

34、ible things “I want to drink.“ or “I want to mention.“ and less tangible things “I want you near me.“ Secondly, they have to communicate with themselves. If children, do not have words to use, their minds are, inevitably, a disorderly mixture of responses to which they can react only emotionally, of

35、ten with frustrations. Through their paintings such children are not consciously trying to tell other people that they have certain feelings, but with the paint they are able to create a concrete, permanent statement of feeling and so the emotion becomes less intense and under more control. Thus, ar

36、t helps in the same way that acting and fantasy-play help children to regulate their emotions and recreations, i. e. , by recreating them in a controlled situation. Music, dancing, acting, and storytelling can give similar feelings of satisfaction and offer opportunities which may be of assistance t

37、o children either individually or collectively.（分数：10.00）(1).In the authors opinion, art can make children_. A. more strong B. more clever C. more confident D. more sensitive（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the word “impart“ (P.1) refers to? A. Help B. Give C. Lose D. Great（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).In a co

38、ntrolled situation, childrens _ are regulated and recreated by art. A. communication B. immediate requirements C. comprehension D. emotions and reactions（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).It can be inferred from the passage that the function of art is_. A. trivial B. common C. satisfactory D. significant（分数：2.00）

39、A.B.C.D.(5).The best title for this passage may be_. A. Art and Language B. Art and Children C. Art and the Development of Subnormal Children D. Function of Art（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.八、BText 2/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)We all know that DNA has the ability to identify individuals but, because it is inherited, there

40、 are also regions of the DNA strand which can relate an individual to his or her family (immediate and extended), tribal group and even an entire population. Molecular Genealogy (宗谱学) can use this unique identification provided by the genetic markers to link people together into family trees. Pedigr

41、ees (家谱) based on such genetic markers can mean a breakthrough for family trees where information is incomplete or missing due to adoption, illegitimacy or lack of records. There are many communities and populations which have lost precious records due to tragic events such as the fire in the Irish

42、courts during Civil War in 1921 or American slaves for whom many records were never kept in the first place.The main objective of the Molecular Genealogy Research Group is to build a database containing over 100,000 DNA samples from individuals all over the world. These individuals will have provide

43、d a pedigree chart of at least four generations and a small blood sample. Once the database has enough samples to represent the world genetic make-up, it will eventually help in solving many issues regarding genealogies that could not be done by relying only on traditional written records. Theoretic

44、ally, any individual will someday be able to trace his or her family origins through this database.In the meantime, as the database is being created, molecular genealogy can already verify possible or suspected relationships between individuals. “For example, if two men sharing the same last name be

45、lieve that they are related, but no written record proves this relationship, we can verify this possibility by collecting a sample of DNA from both and looking for common markers (in this case we can look primarily at the Y chromosome(染色体),” explains Ugo APerego, a member of the BYU Molecular Geneal

46、ogy research team.（分数：10.00）(1).People in a large area may possess the same DNA thread because_. A. DNA is characteristic of a region B. they are beyond doubt of common ancestry C. DNA strand has the ability to identify individuals D. their unique identification can be provided via DNA（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The possible research of family trees is based on the fact that_. A. genetics has achieved a breakthrough B. genetic information contained in DNA can be revealed now C. each individual carries a unique record of who he is and how he is related to others D.
