17．The only thing sweeter than finding a cupcake in your lunchbox is finding a loving，handwritten note．
When Skye Gould，23，was in the sixth grade，her mother sent her to school each day with an inspiring note packed in her lunch．The notes varied in their message，but always contained a piece of"Lunchbox Letter Advice．"More than a decade later，as her master's thesis（论文）for Ohio University's School of Visual Communication，Skye used dozens of the letters to create the website"Advice from My Mom．"The site shares the notes and encourages others to think about effective advice they've received from their loved ones．
"It was important to me and I loved getting them，"Gould told the media about the letters．"Rereading them for the first time for the project，I didn't realize there were so many things that stuck with me．"
Stephanie Skylar，Gould'd mom，wrote her daughter more than 100notes from 2003to 2004，Gould said on her website．During this period，Skylar was working full-time and the notes allowed her to feel connected to her 12-year-old daughter when they were apart，and gave her confidence and advice．
"It's a vulnerable（易受伤害的） time in any girl's life．I wanted to implantpositive messages in Skye's head without sounding like a strict mom，"Skylark said．"I didn't want her to fall into the pack with the others．I wanted her to be independent，strong and happy．"
The letters were successful in their mission．Gould earned her master's degree earlier this month，and shared on her website that she is now working as a graphic designer in New York．"She's kind and funny and it just turned out great，"Skylar told ABC about her daughter's project．"Obviously those messages sunk in at some point； it just took 23years to get it there．"
56．When did Sky Gould's mother begin to write notes to her？（no more than 10words）
When Skye Gould was in the sixth grade．．
57．Why did Sky Gould create the website"Advice from My Mom"？（no more than 10words）
To complete her master's thesis．
58．Why did Stephanie Skylar pack an inspiring note in her daughter's lunch？（no more than 15words）
She wanted her daughter to be independent，strong and happy．/She wanted to give her daughter positive messages．
59．What does the underlined word"implant"in Paragraph 5probably mean？（ no more than 5words）
Pass on/impart．
60．What do you think of Stephanie Skylar's notes to her daughter？Give your reasons．（no more than 30words．）
They are very useful and powerful to her daughter．Not only did they help Skye Gould grow，but also helped her earn her master's degree．．

12．About 5，500years ago，one group of humans invented something truly revolutionary：the wheel．Almost overnight news of the innovation spread far and wide，and wheels became popular so quickly that some archaeologists say we can't be sure exactly where the wheel was invented．
According to HYPERLINK"http://www．birmingham．ac．uk/schools/psychology/people/dr-students/reindl-eva．aspx"Eva Reindl at the University of Birmingham in the UK，stories like this tell us a lot about what makes us human．Surprisingly，it's not that humans worked out how to make wheels that's important-it's the fact that other populations quickly caught on and copied the idea．Reindl and her colleagues say that a chimpanzee，gorilla or orangutan won't copy another ape's（猿） inventions．Each ape，says Reindl，learns for itself how to solve a problem．These species lack our cumulative（累积的） culture-they are constantly reinventing the wheel．
They also find out that even though our species relies on learning from others，it seems-as youngsters，at least-we're still capable of thinking entirely for ourselves．In this particular field，humans and other apes are apparently born in the same state．
Slightly paradoxically，Reindl says that finding similarities in the way humans and other apes are born can actually help us better define what really does make us unique as a species．This is because it highlights behaviors that we develop but that other apes do not．
For instance，although we might start out life with the same sort of tool-using capability that a chimpanzee possesses，we soon begin to behave in a more sophisticated way-precisely because we watch others and tap into the collective human wisdom that has accumulated down the generations．"My colleagues and I work from the standpoint that cumulative culture is probably uniquely human，"says Riendl．"But it's a subject of hot debate in the field right now．"
On the other side of the debate are researchers like HYPERLINK"http://www．eva．mpg．de/primat/staff/boesch/"Christophe Boesch at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig，Germany．"Our study of different tool selection in Tai chimps shows clearly that some important social component is at work in how chimps learn to select tools．In this region，at least，the apes actually do learn some tool use by carefully copying those around them．We still have so much to learn about tool use in chimpanzees，"says Boesch-including the complete range of tool use behaviors these apes show，how common each behavior is，and how individual chimpanzees learn to use tools for themselves．
It's not yet clear whether cumulative culture separates us from apes．The scientific jury clearly hasn't yet arrived at a decision．When consensus does emerge，we'll know whether our sister species share our ability to imitate others-or whether they are doomed to reinvent the same things over and over again．
61．The stories like wheels'invention are mentioned to show thatB．
A．humans can figure out how to invent wheels
B．humans can copy ideas and accumulate knowledge
C．apes aren't smarter than human beings
D．apes are capable of inventing the wheel
62．What can we infer from Boesch's study？A
A．Cumulative culture might exist in apes．
B．Apes can use tools by copying others．
C．Tools selection is an important social component．
D．Cumulative culture separates humans from apes．
63．What does the author think of the imitating ability of apes？D
A．They can do nothing but reinvent the same things over and over again．
B．Thinking for themselves is what they possess on their developing stage now．
C．Learning to copy others to use tools proves the existence of their imitating ability．
D．It remains to be seen whether apes have their cumulative culture．
64．Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage？D
A．The invention and development of the wheel．
B．The differences between humans and apes．
C．The debate about cumulative culture in humans．
D．The argument about cumulative culture in apes．

2．Ever feel like there aren't enough hours in the day？A group of time-challenged Canadian    women are wishing for a 25-hour clock．
Jessie Behan，president of the 25th Hour Coalition（联盟）which is a group of Canadian    women who have changed to a longer day，said the struggle for women to maintain work-1ife balance motivated her to research the body's natural clock．"Many of my girlfriends are having kids，getting married，and I see the sufferings of dealing all that when you're a working woman，"she said．"Women like myself are sick of living their lives by a 24-hour clock．"
A 2007study by Charles Czeisler found a switch to longer days could be beneficial，especially for frequent travelers，shift workers，astronauts and those who experience trouble sleeping or waking．
In a similar study，Czeisler showed the body's natural clock averages 24hours and 11minutes in both young and older people．The current 360-degree clock has 720minutes，giving each minute 0.5degree．With the new 25-hour day，30minutes is added to each 12-hour period making each minute 0.48degree．
While still a relatively small movement-the 25th Hour Coalition has 160Facebook members，Behan is hoping for large changes．"The goal is to get as many women on board；there's no harm in just trying it out and seeing．If it gets big，maybe the government will decide to standardize it．"
A recent online survey by Reader's Digest，which included 150people in each of the 13    countries，suggests it's not just Canadians looking for longer days．Readers were asked"what would you do with an extra hour"if given a choice between sleep，work，exercise and family time．In Spain，half of respondents（被访者）said they'd like an extra hour in the day to devote to family time．The same was found for respondents in Brazil，the US and Britain，who chose family time over sleep，which came in at a close second．Only in India did work top the list with 50percent of respondents claiming they could use an extra hour at the office．
33．Some Canadian working women are campaigning for the 25-hour day in order toB．
A．have more chances at work
B．keep a balance between life and work
C．experience something new
D．have a better sleep
34．Jessie Behan want more women to join the 25th Hour Coalition because sheD．
A．intends to make more Facebook friends
B．hopes to get benefits from more people
C．considers it is harmless to form such an organization
D．thinks it can help those women to realize their dreams
35．What is implied in the last paragraph？A
A．Respondents from most nations want more family time．
B．Respondents from developed countries experience more stress．
C．Most Canadian respondents claim that they need more family time．
D．Indians are the most hardworking of the 13nations．

9．Astronauts in space may suffer motion sickness，muscle loss，tiredness and bone loss due to low or zero gravity and weightlessness．But scientists at the University of Delaware are experimenting with little worms to better understand how space travel affects astronauts．
The millimeter-long worm，called C．elegans，is often used in medical studies because its life is only about two weeks long．Seventy percent of its DNA is the same as human DNA．
Chandran Sabanayagam，a scientist with the University of Delaware，built a microgravity simulator（模拟器）to test how C．elegans would perform in the actual zero gravity of space．
Scientists use a computer to watch the worms as they constantly turn over the simulator．The computer shows the worms as they would look under a microscope．Mr．Sabanayagam says the worms turn around and around in the simulator for about one week before they take them out，looking for changes in the worms'epigenome．The epigenome are chemical markers that relate to microgravity and that tell the DNA in the cells how to perform．They can be changed by the environment．And those changes pass from one generation to the next．
"When the worms are in microgravity environment some epigenomic marks remain even when we put it back into normal ground conditions．So its offspring（后代）keeps this epigenomic memory of the parents'microgravity environment．"
The information gathered suggests that the epigenomic marks appear during the early part of a worm's life．Mr．Sabanayagam says identifying epigenomic marks is important for human studies in the future．
Mr．Sabanayagam thinks scientists can find genes（基因）in the human genome（基因组）similar to those in the worms that responded to microgravity．He says scientists could possibly observe those genes closely when astronauts travel in space．
Chandran Sabanayagam expects C．elegans to visit the International Space Station within two years．He hopes information gathered from the worm studies can be used to develop simple，low-cost and quick tests to measure an astronaut's health．
72．What is the purpose of the research？A
A．To seek a way to solve astronauts'healthy problems resulting from weightlessness．
B．To produce medicines from the C．elegans DNA to prevent astronauts from diseases．
C．To see how much similar the C．elegans DNA is to that of human．
D．To prove the practicability of taking the C．elegans to the outer space．
73．What does the underlined word"They"in the paragraph 4refer to？C
A．Scientists．
B．The worms．
C．The epigenome．
D．Astronauts．
74．What happens to the worms during the experiment？B
A．They are put under a microscope and turned around and around．
B．There are some changes in their epigenome with the microgravity environment．
C．Some of them can't adjust to normal ground conditions after the experiment．
D．Chemical markers in them have changed so that their DNA can't perform well．
75．According to the passage，scientistsB．
A．are having difficulties in identifying epigenomic marks in human genes
B．are still on the way to finding human genes that respond to microgravity
C．have sent C．elegans to the International Space Station for the experiment
D．believe using the worms to measure an astronaut's health is costly and quick．
