7、Passage 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)There is something hard to resist about cherries. The small red fruit is a popular seasonal food around the world. Cherries are thought to be native to western Asia. It is a member of the same family of plants as the rose. It is closely related to the plum. Like cherry trees
8、, plum trees also flower in early spring.There are two major kinds of cherries harvested in the world: sweet and sour. Sour cherries are not eaten fresh because they contain little sugar. Instead, they are processed to make prepared foods like jellies and pies and to make alcoholic drinks. The Unite
9、d States is a major producer of sour cherries. Among the states, Michigan is the top producer. Russia, Poland and Turkey are other important cherry-producing nations. Sweet cherries contain much more sugar than their sour relatives and are usually eaten fresh. Washington State is the biggest America
10、n producer, followed by California and Oregon. The United States, Iran and Turkey are major producers of sweet cherries. Fresh cherries do not store well. They must reach market as soon as possible. So they cost more than many other kinds of fresh fruit.Farmers produce different kinds of cherries th
11、rough the process of grafting(嫁接). They take cuttings from existing trees and join them to related trees. The cuttings grow into the root stock, so the two kinds of trees grow as one.Cherry trees are also valued for their springtime blossoms. Cherry blossoms are popular in many parts of Asia and Eur
12、ope, especially in Japan. But Washington, D. C. , has some of the most famous cherry trees in the world. Japan gave the United States 3,500 cherry trees in 1912 as a gift of friendship. Years later Japan gave another gift of 3,800 trees. In the early nineteen eighties, the United States provided Jap
13、an with cuttings to help replace Japanese trees lost in a flood.（分数：10.00）(1).What plant family does the cherry belong to?A. Plum.B. Apple.C. Rose.D. Pear.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, sour cherries _. A. cannot be used as they are too sourB. are good raw material for food industryC
14、. are more healthy as they contain little sugarD. can easily be made into alcohol（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The most important sweet cherry producer in the US is _.A. Michigan StateB. Washington StateC. California StateD. Oregon State（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Fresh cherries are usually expensive in the market,
15、 because _.A. they are difficult to growB. they should be transported by airC. they are easy to decayD. they are hard to transport（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Some of the most famous cherry trees in Washington, D. C. _.A. grew from the cuttings given by JapanB. are survivals of a flood in JapanC. blossom lo
16、nger than the ones in other countryD. were gifts from Japan long time ago（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.七、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)What are the differences between public and private in American higher education? A big difference involves money. Public colleges and universities charge for an education just like p
17、rivate schools. But state schools cost less because they get money from the states that started them to educate local citizens. As a result, out-of-state and international students usually pay more than state residents, at least the first year.The state with the most residents, almost forty million,
18、 is California. Its systems of two-year and four-year colleges and universities are among the largest in the world. But the example we are going to focus on today is to the north of California, in a much smaller state on the West Coast: Oregon.The University of Oregon, located in Eugene, is one of t
19、he campuses in the Oregon University System. The cost for undergraduates this year is $6,000 for state residents. Housing is an additional $8,000. Non-residents pay the same for housing-but almost $20,000 for tuition and fees.Lets see how these numbers compare to a private college in Oregon.Lewis an
20、d Clark College in Portland has 4,000 students, compared to 20,000 at the University of Oregon. Housing costs $800 more than at the state school. But the big difference is tuition. The published price at Lewis and Clark is almost $34,000.Yet Lewis and Clark is one of the few American colleges to off
21、er financial aid for international students. Each year it awards financial aid to twenty students from other countries. And it says the average award last year was 19,000 dollars. That would make Lewis and Clark cheaper for international students than the University of Oregon.But, of course, prices
22、alone do not say anything about the quality of a school or the value of an education.（分数：10.00）(1).One of the differences between public and private universities is _.A. private universities are usually smaller than the public onesB. attending private universities is less expensiveC. public universi
23、ties require foreign student to pay more tuitionsD. public universities provide more financial aids to foreign students（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, the Oregon University System _.A. is located in EugeneB. is part of the University of OregonC. charges more tuition this yearD. has ca
24、mpuses in different places（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).This year a foreign undergraduate student in the University of Oregon should pay _.A. an additional $8,000 for the tuitionB. as much as the state residentsC. less than a state resident if they can get financial aidD. $14,000 more than state residents（分数
25、：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The costs of tuition and housing in Lewis and Clark College are _.A. both more expensive than in the University of OregonB. cheaper for foreign student than in the University of OregonC. the same as that in the University of OregonD. cheaper than those of the University of Oregon f
26、or the state residents（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).We can conclude from the passage that the cost and the quality of a university are _.A. the more the betterB. the more the worseC. not necessarily relatedD. closely related（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.八、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)October is Domestic Violence Awareness Mo
27、nth in the United States. The observance seeks to educate the public about this issue which affects millions of people each year.Five years ago, the United Nations published results of a study about domestic violence. It found that as many as 275 million children worldwide witness violence in the ho
28、me. These boys and girls represent a secret society of sufferers. Officials say they are the forgotten victims of domestic violence.Research shows such children face a greater risk of problems in school, emotional disorders, and drug abuse, among other things. Many children who witness violence at h
29、ome grow up to become abusers or victims themselves. That is why the UN Childrens Fund calls domestic violence “one of the most important human rights challenges of our times.“The congressional hearing was held last week to educate American policy makers about the problem.Domestic violence is define
30、d as any form of behavior used to gain power or control over another person. It can include verbal, emotional, physical or sexual abuse.The National Institute of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control say one in four American women will suffer some form of domestic violence in her lifetime. One
31、 and a half million women are physically attacked or raped each year. In the United States, three women die each day because of violence in the home.The problem is believed to be even more widespread than these numbers suggest. Many cases of domestic violence are never reported. Victims often feel r
32、esponsible for the abuse they suffer. They also experience a strong sense of shame or dishonor.This is even truer among men, who are less likely to report abuse. Studies show that one in thirteen men in the United States is a victim of domestic violence.Domestic Violence Awareness Month seeks to bri
33、ng these issues out into the open, and to get more people involved in finding a solution. Officials say knowing the facts about domestic violence may help save lives and end the cycle of violence.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the United Nations study published 5 years ago, _.A. more children than woman
34、 became victims of domestic violenceB. children victims of domestic violence were previously neglectedC. 275 million children in the US suffer from domestic violence each yearD. children victims have organized a secret society of sufferers（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Domestic violence against children shoul
35、d be paid more attention, because _.A. children are too young to bear the violenceB. more violences cases are against children than adultsC. childrens lives are impacted more seriouslyD. children can not protect themselves well（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The word “verbal“ in the 5th paragraph probably mean
36、s _.A. something is expressed in speechB. something related to violent actionsC. something that can cause strong feelingsD. something connecting with a persons body（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the report of The National Institute of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control, _.A. 1.5 million
37、American women experienced domestic violence in their lifetimeB. 3 American women are killed in domestic violence each dayC. 3/4 American women victims are physically attacked or raped each yearD. more than half of the cases of domestic violence are never reported（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The cases of do
38、mestic violence against men are _.A. extremely fewB. insignificantC. not included in the reportD. less likely to be reported（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.九、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Earlier this month, researcher Kevin Beaver of Florida State University reported that he and his co-authors had identified genetic m
39、arkers associated with academic achievement. In their study, published in the journal Developmental Psychology, the scientists found that young people who possessed particular forms of three genes were more likely to finish high school and go on to college than those who carried other forms of the g
40、enes. The newly found genes are involved in regulating the actions in the brain, and have been linked in other studies to levels of motivation, attention and intelligence.It is true that in recent years, scientists have produced a growing number of studies linking the capacity to learn to specific g
41、enes. A team at Kings College London, for example, has published several articles relating ability in mathematics to different varieties in DNA. Children who carried 10 or more of the “risk“ genes identified by the researchers were nearly twice as likely to perform poorly in math, according to a 201
42、0 study generated by the group. In another experiment, scientists reported that some individuals possess another two forms of genes involved in brain development that may make it easier for them to learn difficult languages like Chinese.But scientists have long warned against attributing complex hum
43、an behaviors to the action of a few genes-and learning is among the most complex things we do. The authors of these studies acknowledge this. “Mathematical ability and disability are influenced by many forms of genes generating small effects across the entire system of ability,“ writes Sophia Docher
44、ty, who heads the Kings College team. Moreover, environment matters, even in the context of genes: Dochertys research finds that children with the “risk“ forms of genes were especially likely to do poorly in math when they lived in chaotic homes and had negative, punitive(惩罚性的)parents. More generall
45、y research indicates that genetic factors account for about half of the elements in educational achievement.（分数：10.00）(1).Scientists found that _.A. everyone is born the same in the ability of learningB. genes can not affect peoples performance in learningC. there are some genes which make people le
46、arn betterD. genes are decisive factors for learning better（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Some children perform poorly in mathematics probably because _.A. they dont have good genes for learning mathematicsB. they have laid a weak foundation in learning mathematicsC. their parents neglected the childs early e
47、ducation in mathematicsD. their mathematics programs are too difficult for them（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Scientists also found that _.A. some individuals possess completely different forms of genesB. some people are born with talent in learning languageC. learning behaviors are complex to attribute the r
48、oles of genesD. mathematics is the most complex human brain action（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The word “chaotic“ probably means _.A. lower educatedB. in complete disorder and confusionC. looking after children poorlyD. not in harmony（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).We can conclude that _.A. environment matters are eve
49、n more important in learningB. more practice can make up the difference of genesC. some people can never learn well no matter how hard they doD. some one is born brighter than others（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.十、Part Vocabulary an(总题数：20，分数：10.00)1.There has been the fear _ the world will become too crowded to accommodate so many people.A. which B. where C. about D. that（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.2.Most of those _ this book give a favorable review, making it more popular.A. hav
