A
Have you ever heard a news reporter talk about DNA? Reporters talk about DNA found at the scene of a crime. They talk about police finding DNA “fingerprints”. Police sometimes use DNA as a clue to find out who committed the crime.
DNA is a substance(物质) that makes up genes. Everything alive has genes. Plants have genes. Animals have genes. You have genes.
Genes are the basic units of heredity (遗传). Heredity means all the characteristics you inherit from your parents. You get your genes from your parents. You inherit half of your genes, from your mother. You inherit half of your genes from your father.
Genes are a kind of code. A tree's genes tell what shape its leaves will be. A cat's genes tell what color its fur will be. Your genes tell what color your eyes will be. Your genes tell what color your hair will be. Everything about you comes from the code in your genes.
Genes line up on strands(链) called chromosomes(染色体) in cells. Everything alive is made up of cells. Chromosomes are in the center, or nucleus, of cells.
Different parts of you are made of different kinds of cells. Your muscles are made of muscle cells. Your skin is made of skin cells. The code in your genes tells your body to make different kinds of cells. The genes in each cell tell the cell how to work. They tell the cell when to make new copies of itself.
An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel first saw inherited patterns in pea plants. He experimented with pea plants in the 1860s. One of the things, or traits(特质), Mendel studied was what makes some pea plants tall and some short. He said that the traits must come from units of heredity passed from the parent plants. These units were later called genes.
In the mid-1990s, scientists discovered that genes are made of DNA. In the 1970s, scientists learned how to change DNA with genetic engineering. Scientists also learned that problems with certain genes cause diseases. Muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia are some genetic diseases—diseases caused by problems in genes. Today, scientists are looking for ways to cure genetic diseases by changing genes through a process called gene therapy.

B
Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion—like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with (充斥) different kinds of thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that's right, stop. Whatever you're doing, stop and sit for one minute .While you're sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion. Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don't cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute—but only one minute—to do nothing else but feel that emotion.
When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?” Once you've allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.
If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion. When you feel you've had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you're willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.
This exercise seems simple—almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.
25.What should you do when you are into negativity according to the article?
A. Listen to some music.
B. Ignore it and do something else.
C. Just do nothing and truly feel that emotion.
D. Think about it and try to deal with it immediately.
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第二段Take the entire minute—but only one minute—to do nothing else but feel that emotion.可推断答案选C。
26.The underlined word “immerse” ( Paragraph 2) most probably means “________”.
A. break down B. get rid of
C. cut off D. throw into
答案与解析：D 词义猜测题。下文Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion.意为“允许你自己完完全全地去感受这种消极的情绪”。由此可知immerse意思是使你完全融入到这种情绪中，所以答案选D。
27.What's the best title of this text?
A. Clear Your Mental Space
B. Deep Breath, Trouble Away
C. Try to Avoid the Negative Emotion
D. Keep Holding on to This Negative Emotion as Long as Possible
答案与解析：A 主旨大意题。综合全文可知本文就如何清理心理空间提供了一些建议。B项是建议的一方面;C项中的avoid有误;D项也是片面的，且as long as possible有误。所以答案选A。
28.The author's attitude towards negative emotion is ________.
A. doubtful B. optimistic
C. frightened D. confused
答案与解析：B 逻辑推理题。根据最后一句话You can clear your head and proceed with your task.可知作者的态度是积极乐观的。所以选B。
C
A cancer-stricken British teenage girl said Thursday she had been moved by messages of support from around the world after writing an online “Bucket List” of things she wanted to do before dying.
Alice Pyne, 15, created an Internet blog in which she described her fight against a cancer of the white blood cells. “I've been fighting cancer for almost four years and now I know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn't look like I'm going to win this one，” she wrote.
For her list, the teenager took inspiration from the 2007 film “The Bucket List”， in which two terminally ill (患绝症的) men, played by Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, draw up a list of things they wish to do before they die.
On her list, at the site www. alicepyne, blogspot. com, she has included making everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor (骨髓捐赠者), swimming with sharks, meeting boy band Take That and getting a purple iPad computer.
Messages of support and offers of help quickly flooded her web page and it became one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter.
“Oh dear and I thought that I was just doing a little blog for a few friends!” she wrote after her site attracted huge attention. “Thank you so much for all your lovely messages to me. ”
Pyne, who lives with her family in the northwest English town of Ulverston, revealed (透露) the management of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog. A group of local lawmakers have also joined forces with the Anthony Nolan blood cancer charity to encourage people to join its stem cell register.
29.What happened after Alice Pyne wrote her “Bucket List”?
A. The media called on people to help her.
B. People sent gifts to her from all over the world.
C. A lot of people offered to donate bone marrow to her.
D. People around the world sent messages to support her.

30.Alice Pyne wrote her “Bucket List” to ________.
A. express her last few wishes
B. say goodbye to a few friends
C. give comfort to two terminally ill men
D. catch people's attention
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第一段的“writing an online ‘Bucket List’ of things she wanted to do before dying”可以看出“Bucket List”表达的是她最后的几个愿望。所以选A。
31.It can be inferred from the second paragraph that Alice Pyne ________.
A. is unaware of her own conditions
B. is calm to know that death is approaching
C. is very sad to know that she will die
D. is still quite confident in fighting against the cancer
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。由第二段的“I know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn't look like I'm going to win this one”可知她对自己的病情和结果进行了平静的叙述，由此可知B项符合语境。
32.Which of the following is NOT on Alice Pyne's “Bucket List”?
A. To meet a boy.
B. To get a cool computer.
C. To swim with sharks.
D. To ask people to donate bone marrow.

Risk of death is 3.5 to 5 times greater for obese (肥胖的) smokers than it is for people who have never smoked and are at a normal weight, according to a study published in the November, 2006 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
The study, which began with a self-administered questionnaire (问卷) taken between 1983 and 1989, asked more than 80,000 radiologic technologists aged 22 to 92 questions about age, height, weight and smoking behavior.
BMI (body mass index) was calculated, with a BMI of 30 to 34. 9 being considered obese, and 35 and over being very obese. Smoking behavior was analyzed by looking at a person's tobacco consumption level, number of years smoked, and current smoking status. Researchers then followed participants (参与者)through December of 2002, noting the number of deaths that occurred.
The study involved researchers from the National Cancer Institute, the University of Minnesota and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
Key Findings:
20 percent of obese adults in the United States smoke.
Obese smokers face a greater risk of death from cancer and circulatory (循环) disease.
Current smoking is a greater risk factor for death by cancer than obesity is, generally speaking.
The higher a person's pack-years (number of packs smoked per day times the number of years smoked) are, the greater the risk of death is.
Men and women of all ages faced an elevated risk of death due to circulatory disease as BMI increased. And for those who were both obese and currently smoking, risk of circulatory disease increased 6 to 11 times under the age of 65, as compared to their never-smoking, normal weight counterparts.
While it's not surprising that obesity coupled with smoking is a recipe for trouble, it is important to highlight this growing health concern in America today.
Taking Charge of Your Health

It's never too late to change your course and even reduce damage to some extent.

答案与解析：
41.D 文章第一句表明史密斯先生像老鹰一样监视自己的手下，所以此空表示他每天都例行公事般地在工厂内到处巡视，检查工作，以免有人怠工。regular表示“定期的，有规律的”。
42.B 这里是一个固定句型，用“be doing sth. when”表示“正在做某事突然发生另外一件事情”。
43.C 他正在例行检查时突然发现一个人斜靠在一堆盒子上。下文第43空前有暗示。

46.D 这个年轻人打呵欠，抓头，(因为等得不耐烦了)看表，然后坐在地板上。aim at瞄准;glare at怒目而视;point at指向。根据上下文可以确定答案。

48.C 从第一段的最后一句中“...he spotted a young man __43__ against a pile of boxes just outside the office.”可以得到答案。
