16、wnie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with the

17、m. We always felt better when she was around.One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad's shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl，” she looked down at th

27、 anger. “By evaluating it and using various techniques, you can talk yourself out of it，” Williams says，“That's what's nice about us humans: We can always do something or not do something to change our behavior.”40From the passage we learn that_.Apeople who easily get angry are more likely t

31、.C(2010浙江卷)When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.

32、It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there l

33、ay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.”She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could

34、 find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes(條紋)of colors across the pavement(人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped u

35、p as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother's face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “W

36、hat in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors' trees, but this! Come inside right now！”I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted(侮辱)my art.“Now go clean it up！”Mother and I began cleaning the r

37、oad. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need sort of rainbow to brighten our l

38、ives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.44What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?ATo introduce Stephanie to her.BTo prevent her from seeing his painting.CTo put the materials back in the yard.DTo show his artwork to her.45In his mother's eyes, the write

39、r_.Awas a born artistBalways caused troubleCwas a problem solverDworked very hard46The underlined word“rainbow”in the last paragraph refers to_.Athe rainbow in the skyBthe stripes on the pavementCsomething imaginative and funDimportant lessons learned in childhood47It can be learned from the passage

40、 that parents should_.Aencourage children to paintBvalue friendship among childrenCdiscover the hidden talent in childrenDprotect rather than destory children's dreamsDMillions of people die of hunger in southern Africa every year, but when Zambia was offered thousands of tons of free corn by th

41、e US, the government politely said no.“We don't know whether the food is safe，”said Zambia's Commerce, Trade and Industry Minister Dipak Patel.His worries are shared by counries around the world that are in_two_minds about America's genetically modified(GM，轉(zhuǎn)基因)crops. Just last week, EU m

42、ember nations were discussing whether or not to import GM sweet corn from the US.Ever since people started farming they have tried to crossbreed(雜交)plants to make them stronger or better tasting. At one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other.But when GM techniques were developed

43、in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.This means they can make crops more productive and resistant(有抵抗力的)to disease by adding genes from other species. They can also create food with speicial characteristics, such as“golden rice” wh

44、ich is enriched with vitamin A. But many people believe GM foods are a health risk.“If left to me, I would certainly not eat GM foods”， said Scotish scientist Arpad Pusztai. “We are putting new things into food which haven't been eaten before. The effects on the immune system(免疫系統(tǒng))are not easy t

45、o predict.”At the moment, the official argument is that GM foods，“are not likely to present risks for human health”. But there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways.Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give

46、 damage to our bodies. Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops.文章大意：每年有數(shù)百萬(wàn)非洲人死于饑餓，但是贊比亞拒絕了美國(guó)無(wú)償贊助的玉米，這是為什么？原來(lái)那是美國(guó)生產(chǎn)的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品。世界上有很多人對(duì)這種食品持懷疑態(tài)度。48We learn from the passage that_.Apeople have discovered that GM foods will do harm to human health

47、Bmillions of Zambia people die of eating too much GM foodsCpeople are still not sure if GM foods will do harm to human healthDgenetic material added to plants will damage our bodies sooner or later49The underlined words“in two minds” in the third paragraph means“_”Aunsure BworriedClikely Dcareless50

48、Which of the following statements is NOT true about GM foods?AIt is produced from plants with added genes from other species.BGM foods can have special characteristics.CGM foods will affect people's immune system.DGM techniques have been developed since 1970s.51What the author's attitude tow

49、ards GM foods?ASupportive. BNeutral.CDoubtful. DCriticalEThe Atlantic Ocean is one of the ocean that separate in the Old World from the New. For centuries it kept the Americans from being discovered by the people of Europe.Many wrong ideas about the Atlantic made early sailors unwilling to sail far

50、out into it. One idea was that it reached out to“the edge of the world”. Sailors were afraid that they might sail right of the earth. Another idea was that at the equator the ocean would be boiling hot.The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. It is more than

51、 4,000 miles(3,200km)wide.Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large on ocean it has very few islands. Also, it is the world's saltiest ocean.There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no mor

52、e water was brought to it by rivers. It would take the ocean about 4,000 years to dry up. On the average the water is a little more than two miles(3.2km)keep, but in places it is much deeper. The deepest spot is near Puerto Rico. This“deep”meaures 30,246 feetalmost six miles(9.6km)One of the largest

53、 mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. This mountain range north and south down the middle of the ocean.The tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make islands.Several hundred miles eastward from Florida there is a part of the ocean called the Sargasso

54、 Sea. Here the water is quiet, for there is little winds. In the days of sailing vessels the crew were afraid they would be becalmed here. Sometimes they were.Today the Atlantic is a great highway. It is however, not always a smooth and safe one. Storms sweep across it and pile up great waves. Icebergs float down from the Far North across the paths of ships.We now have such fast ways of traveling that this big ocean seems to have grown smaller. Columbus sailed for more than two months to across it. A fast modern steam ship can make the trip in less than four days. Airplanes fly from Ne
