It turned out that I did get a 52 present from the radio station and its sponsor（赞助商）. And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a 53 mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not 54 a piece of coal（煤）.

Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea．People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.
Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea．Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added．She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.
At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.
Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?
A. The Britons got expensive tea from India.
B. Tea reached Britain from Holland.
C．The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.
D．It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.
This passage mainly discusses_____________.
A．the history of tea drinking in Britain
B．how tea became a popular drink in Britain
C．how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea
D．how tea-time was born
Tea became a popular drink in Britain.
A．in eighteenth century B．in sixteenth century
C．in seventeenth century D．in the late seventeenth century
People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because.
A．it tasted like milk
B．it tasted more pleasant
C．it became a popular drink
D．people tried to copy the way Madame de Servinge drank tea
60．We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain mostly resulted from the influence of ________.
A．a famous French lady B．the ancient Chinese
C．the upper social class D．people in Holland

PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A previously unknown kind of human group disappeared from the world so completely that it has left behind the merest piece of evidence that it ever existed — a single bone from the little finger of a child, buried in a cave in the Altai Mountains of southern Siberia.
Researchers removed DNA from the bone and reported that it differed obviously from that of both modern humans and of Neanderthals（尼安德特人）, living in Europe until the arrival of modern humans on the continent some 44,000 years ago.
The child carrying the DNA line was probably 5 to 7 years old, but it is not yet known if it was a boy or a girl. The finger bone was unearthed in 2008 from a place known as the Denisova cave.
Researchers are careful not to call the Denisova child a new human species, though it may prove to be so, because the evidence is initial.
But the genetic material removed from the bone, found in a layer laid down on the cave floor between 48,000 and 30,000 years ago, belonged to a distinct human line that traveled out of Africa at a different time from the two known ancient human species. Homo erectus（直立人）, found in East Asia, left Africa two million years ago, and the ancestor of Neanderthals moved away some 500,000 years ago. The numbers of differences found in the child’s DNA indicate that its ancestors left Africa about one million years ago.
The region was inhabited by both Neanderthals and modern humans at that time. Counting the new human line, three human species may have lived together.
The standard view has long been that there were three human resettlements out of Africa — those of Homo erectus; of the ancestor of Neanderthals; and finally, some 50,000 years ago, of modern humans. But in 2004, archaeologists reported that they had found the bones of small humans who lived on the Indonesian island of Flores until 13,000 years ago, causing a serious problem to this view. The new line is the second such challenge.
If the nuclear DNA of the Denisova child should differ as much as its mitochondrial（线粒体） DNA does from that of Neanderthals and modern humans, the case for declaring it a new species would be strengthened. But it would be unusual for a new species to be recognized on the basis of DNA alone.
In new diggings starting this summer, archaeologists will look for remains more analytical than the finger bone. Researchers will also begin re-examining the fossil collections in museums to see if any wrongly assigned bones might belong instead to the new line.
56. According to the passage, ________.
A. modern humans arrived in Europe before Neanderthals
B. modern humans arrived in Europe about 44,000 years ago
C. Neanderthals arrived in Europe about 44, 000 years ago
D. Neanderthals arrived in Europe soon after modern humans did
57. Evidence from the bone of the child shows that _________.
A. the Denisova child belonged to Neanderthals
B. the Denisova child is a new human species
C. its ancestor moved to Europe 1,000,000 years ago
D. the habitat of its ancestor was in Africa
58. Which human line is the first challenge to the standard view of human resettlement?
A. Neanderthals.
B. Modern humans.
C. Small humans in Indonesia
D. Homo erectus.
59. The underlined part in last paragraph implies ________.
A. some other bones of the new line must have been wrongly identified
B. some other bones might give some evidence to support the new line
C. some other bones could help find the belongings of the new line
D. some other bones belonging to the new line might not have been found yet
60 The best title of the passage could be ________.
A. Bone May Reveal a New Human Group
B. Bone of a New Human Group Is Found
C. Human Group Once Existed in Southern Siberia
D. Bone Gives Evidence to a New Human Group

Imagine that the genome (基因组) is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 5,000 volumes the size of this book, or as long as 800 Bibles. If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me a century. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube. This is an enormous document. A huge volume, a cook book of great length, and it all fits inside the extremely small nucleus (核) of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin.
The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor (比喻), It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of letters into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only complication is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though never both at the same time.
While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six letters. Genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only four letters, And instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules (分子), The genome is a very clever book, because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself.
1.How do human genomes read according to the passage?
A. Only from left to right. B. Only from right to left.
C. From both directions at the same time D. From one direction at a time
2.We can learn from the passage that the human genome ______.
A. is as long as the River Danube
B. can be easily placed on the head of a pin
C. is coded with and alphabet of four letters
D. is smart enough to read and take photos of itself
3.It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for ______.
A. specialists in the field B. general readers
C. natural scientists D. readers with academic background
4.The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is ______.
A. to focus on the differences between the two
B. to lay emphasis on the similarities between the two
C. to simplify the concept of the human genome
D. to give an exact description of the human genome
