    Visit any junior high or high school and you will experience the power of influence. Clothing, hairstyles, attitudes and even the language are all gained by some amount of influence, whether it is from commercials, fashion, trends, celebrities or music. Teens and preteen children are influenced by these various factors. However, a child’s friends are the No. 1 influence.
    Before you think your children’s friends could never lead one another astray (误入歧途的), think again. A child may experience an event that has caused overwhelming stress or may have problems at home or school, which causes negative behavior. Negative influences of a child’s friends can come without warning.
    “Parents who ask their children where they are going, who they are going with and request a meeting with their children’s friends and the friends’ parents have already taken the first step,” says Mara Berkley, family therapist and professor at Bristol University in Rhode Island.
    Lynn Rexroat of Chillicothe, Illinois, uses this method to keep tabs on her children. “My oldest son knows that in order for him to go anywhere with a friend, especially one I haven’t met before, I have to speak with that friend’s parent to make sure the arrangements are agreeable with us both,” she says. “I don’t interrogate (质问) them by asking about their private life. I just want to know that the parents of the other child know what the boys are planning to do. I feel that by my wanting to know I am protecting my son.”
    When a parent suspects that their child is hanging out with “the wrong crowd”, the last thing on their mind should be discipline. Instead, Berkley says a parent should be more interested in finding out the reasons behind the behaviors and the child’s choice to keep company with these types of friends.
    小题1:We can infer from the second paragraph that       .
    A．two children usually go astray together
    B．a child can be negatively influenced only when he meets problems
    C．a child can easily go astray under the influence of a friend
    D．parents know exactly when a child is negatively influenced
    小题2:Mara Berkley probably agrees that you        when your child is going out with his friends.
    A．should track him secretly B．should not ask him
    C．can stop him going outD．do something to interfere
    小题3:How does Lynn Rexroat protect her son according to the text?
    A．She questions his son directly.
    B．She meets his son’s friends herself.
    C．She makes arrangements with the parents of his son’s friends.
    D．She communicates with the parents of his son’s friends.
    小题4:The underlined part “keep tabs on” in the fourth paragraph probably means “       ”.
    A．watch overB．win overC．bring back D．take control of

    小题1:C
    小题2:D
    小题3:D
    小题4:A

    试题分析: 文章介绍如何防止你的孩子受朋友的不良影响走上邪路。
    小题1:C。推理判断题。从文章第二段 Negative influences of a child’s friends can come without warning可知孩子很容易受到不良影响，而且往往是不知不觉地。故选C。
    小题2: D。推理判断题。从第三段Parents who ask their children where they are going, who they are going with and request a meeting with their children’s friends and the friends’ parents have already taken the first step可知，Mara Berkley认为对孩子的行为应该加以干预，而不应该不闻不问。故选D。
    小题3:D。细节理解题。从文章第四段I don’t interrogate them by asking about their private life. I just want to know that the parents of the other child know what the boys are planning to do可知，这位母亲没有直接询问孩子，而是跟孩子朋友的家长及时沟通。故选D。
    小题4:A。词义理解题。watch over：监督，看守 win over：赢 bring back：带回 take control of：控制。 根据文章第四段的语境，这位家长介绍如何对孩子进行监督，避免他学坏。故选A。

    The sound of a mosquito can mean trouble in many parts of the world. The bite of the mosquito can be deadly. The insects carry serious diseases like malaria. It is estimated that almost 630,000 people died from malaria and malaria-related causes in 2012, and most of these cases were in African countries.
    In the United States, a group of California scientists is working to develop a more effective and less costly substance(物质)to protect people from mosquitoes. The researchers are investigating the sense of smell in mosquitoes. They found the insects use the same receptor(感受器)for identifying carbon dioxide in human breath as they do for the smell of our skin. Anandasankar Ray, who is leading the investigation, says scientists tested more than a million chemical compounds(化合物)until they found a substance called Ethyl pyruvate. He says Ethyl pyruvate makes the mosquitoes' receptor inactive. ”When we apply Ethyl pyruvate to a human arm and offer it to hungry mosquitoes in a cage, very few of the mosquitoes are attracted to the human arm because only a few of them are able to smell it out,” said Ray.
    Genevieve Tauxe, a member of the research team, says it was not easy to find the neurons (神经元)of nose cells that recognise both the smell of human breath and skin. "With the device used to examine mosquitoes, we are able to insert a very small electrode(电极)into the part of the mosquitoes' nose, where its smelling neurons are and where the smell is happening," said Tauxe.
    Anandasankar Ray says a product based on Ethyl pyruvate may cost less to produce than DEFT，the most effective chemical treatment now in use. He says DEFT is too costly for most people who live in areas affected by malaria.
    “Perhaps by finding smells that can attack other target receptors, we will be able to improve upon DEFT and finally have the next generation of insect behavior control products," said Ray.
    小题1:The best title for the passage is most probably _______________________________.
    A．Scientists Find New Substance to Fight Mosquitoes
    B．A New Generation of DEET Has Been Developed to Kill Mosquitoes
    C．Malaria一a Serious Disease Causing 630,000 Deaths
    D．Ethyl Pyruvate一an Insect Behavior Control Product
    小题2:According to the passage, Ethyl Pyruvate can_______________________________.
    A．kill the mosquitoes' smelling neurons
    B．cause the mosquitoes to lose their sense of smell
    C．result in the inactiveness of the mosquitoes' receptor
    D．make the mosquitoes uninterested in human breath and skin smell
    小题3:Through the passage, the writer aims to_______________________________.
    A．inform readers of the new development in fighting mosquitoes
    B．praise the achievements made in the battle against malaria
    C．introduce a cheaper product in fighting mosquitoes
    D．tell the differences between Ethyl Pyruvate and DEET
    小题4:This passage most probably appears in_______________________________.
    A．the column of newspaper ads
    B．the health column of a magazine
    C．a textbook of medical schools
    D．a collection of doctors' essays

    You may be fascinated with pictures of animals in the wild. You might have imagined yourself taking pictures of animals that are rarely seen in the city. If you do get that chance, you may want to consider the following tips or rules.

    First of all, a lot of professional photographers give respect to these animals and the environment they are in. Just remember that you should respect the animals and the environment in case these animals bite or hurt you.
    Keep in mind that you are taking pictures of real, live, wild animals. A wild animal may bite to protect itself. You must be sensitive while taking their pictures and be gentle in all your movements. Do not feed the animals, or interact with animals that are sleeping or caring for their young.
    If you are going to a place where it is privately(私人)owned, you’d better get the owner’s permission first before you start taking pictures.
    Change the flash of your camera to natural light, so the animals will not be frightened or surprised when you start shooting. Animals do not react well when they are surprised.
    Be very patient. Make sure you are aware of the changes in behavior of the animal and its moods. Be familiar with the animals’ natural habitat.
    Now if those rules are clear, it is time for planning. Consider the weather; some animals do not go out when it is raining while some animals love the rain. Therefore, a little research on the weather will not hurt. You should consider taking pictures after sunrise and before sunset. Now if the animal is nocturnal(夜间活动的), then you should prepare to battle not only the wild but also the darkness.
    An adventure in the wild will make you very excited. However, you should be well equipped, have experts to back you up, and also a permit for doing the photo shoot. If you do not have any of these, then maybe you should consider visiting the zoo instead.
    小题1:The main purpose of the author in writing this passage is　　　.
    A．to call for us to protect animals
    B．to show where to buy pictures of animals
    C．to explain how to get along with wild animals
    D．to give us tips on taking pictures of animals in the wild
    小题2:Which of the following aspects is NOT mentioned in the passage?
    A．Respecting the animals.
    B．Making gentle movements.
    C．Making the animals happy.
    D．Changing the flash of your camera to natural light.
    小题3: If the animals are on a farm owned by a person, we should　　　.
    A．ask the owner to take pictures for us
    B．ask for the owner’s permission first
    C．make sure the owner is present when we take pictures
    D．take pictures when the owner is feeding animals

    A．most animals love being taken pictures of
    B．we have to finish the pictures before sunset
    C．we’d better take pictures when the animals are sleeping
    D．we should pay attention to the animals’ moods when taking pictures
    小题5:What preparation should you do before going to take pictures of wild animals?
    ①Preparing some food to feed the animals.
    ②Asking experts for advice.
    ③Knowing the weather in the animals’ habitat.
    ④Getting a permission for taking pictures of wild animals.

    Has been a dream for 30 years but now the world’s first flying car is set to hit the roads this year.

    Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s, designers have dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button(按钮). And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just￡127, 000.
    The plane, which has fold-out wings that span 17. 5 feet, can be up to 115 mph. Back on the land, it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode(模式).
    Fuelling(加燃料)the 19 feet long plane couldn’t be simpler—you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up.
    A spokeswoman said, “You can keep your ‘light-sport airplane’ in your garage. But because it needs a short runway to take to the air, you will have to drive to your local airport, fly up to 460 miles, land and drive directly to your destination(目的地). You will always be ready to drive or fly. ”
    The spokeswoman added, “Never let bad weather change your trip. You can simply divert(使转向)and continue on the ground until the weather clears. ”
    There’s no risk to you—this is only the chance for you to be the first at your home field to unfold(展开)your wings and fly into the future.

    Eating different colored foods can keep you healthy, as well as change your mood and behavior. Here is a list of colors, which can change your life.
    Blue/Purple
    Blue is considered to be peaceful and calming and it has the same effect on our health. The blue / purple color in food is due primarily to their anthocyanins which are antioxidants (抗氧化剂) that are particularly heart healthy and may help support healthy blood pressure. Out of all the blue and purple foods available, blueberries are considered to have the highest antioxidant level. An analysis of the latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study found that people who eat purple and blue fruits and vegetables are at a reduced risk for high blood pressure and are less likely to be overweight.
    A food and health expert says that blue and purple color foods can prevent blood mass formation, and they also lower the risk of cancer.
    Foods that contain blue and purple colors are: reddish eggplant (especially the skin), blueberries, blackberries, purple grapes, etc.
    Green
    We all know that we should eat green as green symbolizes nature. The green foods are rich in isothiocyanates, which help resist cancer.
    Dr. Ashok Agarwal, a food and nutrition specialist, explains, "They are excellent sources of folic acid, vitamin K, as well as carotene （胡萝卜素）. Diets high in those above are associated with lowered blood pressure."
    Foods that contain the green color are: broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, etc. 
    Red
    Lycopene (番茄红素) in reddish fruits and vegetables is a powerful antioxidant that has been associated with a reduced risk of some cancers, and also provides protection against heart attacks.    
    Dr. Smiths says, "Cooked tomato sauces are associated with greater health benefits as compared with the uncooked version as the heating process allows lycopene to be more easily absorbed by the body. Obtaining the most benefit from food depends on proper selection, storage and cooking of the produce."
    Foods that contain red color are: Tomatoes and tomato products, watermelon, guava, red onions, red chili, red apples, red grapes, cherries, etc.
    Orange
    The orange foods are also rich in carotene, which are particularly good antioxidants. These foods are commonly considered eyesight foods because they contain vitamin A.
    "Orange fruits and vegetables also play a part in preventing cancer, particularly of the lungs and stomach. Foods that contain the color orange are: Carrots, mangoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc.
    小题1:The passage tries to tell us that ______.
    A．colors mean a lot to people and their health
    B．foods of different colors will have different benefits
    C．eating foods with a color must prevent diseases

    Running like the wind, roaring (咆哮) like thunder, tigers have long been feared and respected as a king of the animal world. But last week a report said that there are no more than 30 wild tigers left in south China.
    This was the conclusion of a team of scientists from China's State Forestry Administration and the World Nature Fund.
    The South China tiger, also known as the Chinese tiger, is native to southern China. In the 1950's, there were over 4000 tigers found in mountain forests in the country. But due to the destruction of their natural habitat and uncontrolled hunting, it has been pushed on to the list of the world's top ten most endangered species.
    Sixty­six of the big cats can be found in the cages of a dozen zoos around China. But they are nothing like their wild cousins. They have lost their natural skills such as hunting and killing. If they were set free they could not look after themselves.
    “Breeding has damaged the quality of the species”, said Pei Enle, deputy director of the Shanghai Zoo.
    To reintroduce the species into the wild, the country started a programme to send five to ten young tigers to South Africa. Four of them have already arrived. Progress has been made as two elder tigers have recovered some of their instincts(本能) and can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base.
    “South Africans are very experienced in reintroducing big animals to the wild. The country has very good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in”, said Lu Jun, office director of the National Wildlife Research and Development Center.“We tried in Fujian Province, but it was not successful as there was not a complete eco­chain(生物链) and there was a lack of space.”
    The tigers should return to China in 2007 when the reservations in Fujian are ready.
    小题1:What is the main reason for the South China tiger becoming one of the world's top ten most endangered species?
    A．Because it has lost its natural instincts.
    B．Because there is not a complete eco­chain.
    C．Because there is no space for it.
    D．Because uncontrolled hunting has destroyed its natural living conditions.
    小题2:How is the programme of sending several tigers to South Africa getting on?
    A．Its effect still remains to be seen.
    B．Two tigers can already compete with their wild cousins.
    C．Some of the tigers are already on the road to recovering their natural skills.
    D．The tigers should be able to recover their instincts completely by 2007.
    小题3:By saying “but they are nothing like their wild cousins”，the writer means that________.
    A．they are no longer feared by other wild animals
    B．they don't know how to hunt or kill
    C．a complete change has resulted in the species because of breeding
    D．to reintroduce them into the wild has become an urgent task
    小题4:What is the purpose of sending young tigers to South Africa?
    A．To help the tigers recover their ability to live in the wild.
    B．To provide them with a better environment.
    C．To get the tigers to go on a tour.
    D．To find a complete eco­chain for them.
    小题5:Which one is NOT the reason for South Africa being chosen as the training place?
    A．Because the tigers can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base.
    B．Because South Africans are skilled at dealing with the tigers.
    C．Because there is a complete eco­chain and enough space there.
    D．Because the country has good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in.

    Back in the early 1900s, American physician Byron Robinson wrote a book proposing an interesting theory: humans actually have two brains --- one in our heads and the other in our stomachs, and the two “communicate” all the time. Interestingly, in Chinese culture, thoughts are also related to the belly in phrases and idioms like fugao (腹稿, a draft), manfu jinglun (满腹经纶, a bellyful of ideas), and yiduzi weiqu (一肚子委屈, a bellyful of complaints).
    This may sound a little ridiculous at first. But try to think of a time when you were extremely nervous. Chances are that you also felt uncomfortable in your stomach, didn’t you? This is probably why people use the idiom “butterflies in one’s stomach” to refer to being nervous.
    Now scientists from Canada and the US have found that our guts (肠道), if not as bright as our actual brains, are much more than just where we digest the food we eat. They also affect our emotions and even behavior, all thanks to the bacteria in them, reported Scientific American.
    In the study, scientists fed timid mice stomach bacteria from mice that were more active and daring. After eating the bacteria, the timid mice grew more energetic and fearless. Sure enough, when bold mice got the bacteria from timid ones, they became more anxious. The mice’s behavior also changed when scientists disturbed the bacteria in their guts by changing their diets and feeding them antibiotics (抗生素).
    “If something goes wrong in the gut, that change is reflected in the brain,” Emeran Mayer, a professor at University of California, Los Angeles, told The Huffington Post.
    The brain-and-gut connection also works in the opposite way. Scientists studied children with autism (自闭症) --- a mental illness that makes people unable to socialize with others --- and found that they also have a lot of stomach problems. They have fewer types of stomach bacteria and lower totals of a few key bacteria than healthy children.
    This research raises the possibility that scientists could treat patients with brain problems simply by feeding them the right food, which would be much more efficient than providing psychological therapy (疗法).
    According to CBC News, you can get “good” bacteria that lift your spirits from food like yogurt while “bad” bacteria are usually in high fat and high sugar foods.
    小题1:What is the author’s attitude toward Byron Robinson’s theory of two human brains?
    A．Unsatisfied.B．Doubtful.C．Positive.D．Negative.
    小题2:The author mentioned the idiom “butterflies in one’s stomach” in the second paragraph to _____.
    A．describe the symptoms of nervousness
    B．suggest a connection between our stomach and our emotions
    C．hint at the danger of nervous feelings
    D．encourage people to calm down and relax
    小题3:What’s the closest meaning of the underlined word “bold” in Paragraph 4?
    A．anxiousB．fearlessC．energeticD．sharp
    小题4:According to the article, ______.
    A．people with mental illnesses are more likely to have stomach problems
    B．the use of antibiotics can turn timid mice into daring ones
    C．timid mice have fewer types of stomach bacteria than daring mice
    D．people must consider changing their diets when they feel anxious
    小题5:We can infer from the article that______.
    A．psychological therapy has never worked before for autistic children
    B．yogurt is the best solution for anxiety problems
    C．high fat and high sugar foods are responsible for many mental diseases
    D．diet changes can lead to mood changes

    Many of our favorite travel destinations are in danger of being changed badly by increased temperatures and rising seas. The following are some of the places that may be in danger and some that are already experiencing the effects of global warming.
    The Everglades, Florida: Perhaps no region of the country is as unprotected to climate change as Florida. Even a slight increase in temperature and water level could devastate popular destinations like the Everglades, Miami Beach and the Keys.
    Australia’s Great Barrier Reef: One of the most impressive natural habitats in the world, the Great Barrier Reef could be killed by increased water temperatures and the resulting coral bleaching (漂白法). Australia is particularly easily damaged by global warming because of its large number of fragile (脆弱的) ecosystems, uncertain water sources and a large group of people gathering on the coast.
    Dalian, China: Fast-growing China, shown here during a heat wave last year, is opening about one coal factory every day this year. Along with the U.S., China is one of the world's leading contributors to the greenhouse gases , which can lead to the increase in the Earth's temperature.
    Venice, Italy: No stranger to flooding, Venice has invested $4.5 billion in a floodgate system that is due to open in 2012. But the frequent changing ocean levels have made people question the floodgates' ability to hold out the rising waters.
    London, England: Designed to protect London from storms and extremely high tides, the Thames Barrier was opened in 1984. Some analysts fear that rising oceans will create conditions beyond the capabilities the barrier was designed to meet.
    小题1:The word “devastate” in paragraph 2 means “_____________”.
    A．protectB．destroyC．swallowD．enlarge
    小题2:What can endanger Great Barrier Reef directly?
    A．Fragile ecosystem
    B．Uncertain water sources.
    C．The large group of people.
    D．Increased water temperatures and the coral bleaching
