    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　The moon is made of ice－cream．Little green men live in the center of the earth．Nearly everyone tells lies．Only the third statement is true．Or at least that is what Dr．Robert Feldman of the University of Massachusetts says．Dr．Feldman conducted an experiment in which he asked 240 students to talk to each other for minutes．He filmed the conversations and then asked the students to watch themselves to confirm if all that they had said was true．

    　　It turned out that nearly all of them had lied at least once．It seems that we not only lie, we do it naturally and without thinking．

    　　“It's so easy to lie, ” said Dr．Feldman “We teach our children to be honest, but also to be polite and avoid offending people．Kids get a mixed message and that affects how they behave as adults．”

    　　According to Dr．Wendy Gamble of the University of Arizona, kids don't need any instructions in lying．It comes naturally to them．Dr Gamble, a psychologist, has identified four different types of lies that both children and adults tell．The “pro－social” lie is told to help or protect other people．The “self－enhancement” lie is told by someone who wants to look good to other people．The “selfish lie” protects the speaker by harming someone else．And worst of all, the “anti－social” lie is told for the pleasure of getting someone else into trouble．

    　　According to Dr．Feldman, men and women lie in different ways as well．“Women are more likely to lie to make the person they are with feel good．Men lie to make themselves look better, ” he says．The husband tells his wife he's due for a promotion at work．“Of course you are, ” she replies．

    　　“Honesty is the basis of healthy relationships, ” says Dr．Gamble．“But rather than dismiss all lying as bad, we should reflect that deception is common and often socially acceptable．”

    　　Perhaps we already do．In the English language, the word liar is usually only used to describe the person who tells selfish or anti－social lies．The rest are referred to as “white lies” ．These are joke words which show that we can tolerate people who don't tell the truth all the time．If people did not make up stories, there would be no literature, poetry or films．

    　　Some psychologists argue that the lies people tell each other help hold society together．They make us feel good about each other and ourselves and encourage tolerance and trust．Just think what the world would be like if everybody said exactly what they thought all the time．

    　　Yet there are times when people also need to hear the truth．It would be wrong to say that lying makes the world go round．It's the little green men in the center of the earth who do that．

    (1)

    It is ________, according to Dr Gamble, that makes people lie．

    [　　]

    A．

    parents’ instructions

    B．

    school education

    C．

    social experiences

    D．

    human nature

    (2)

    Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    The little green men in the center of the earth make the world go round．

    B．

    Lies are actually common and acceptable in daily lives but not all are bad．

    C．

    We should always tolerate people who don't tell the truth all the time．

    D．

    The world would be lovely if everybody told exactly what they thought．

    (3)

    In paragraph 5, the wife said “Of course you are” to ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    make her husband feel great

    B．

    build up her husband's confidence

    C．

    show her love to her husband

    D．

    help with her husband's promotion

    (4)

    “I never tell lies” is a(an) ________ ．

    [　　]

    A．

    “pro－social” lie

    B．

    “self－enhancement” lie

    C．

    selfish lie

    D．

    “anti－social” lie

    A severely handicapped teenager who cannot walk,talk or hold a paintbrush has won a place at Oxford to study fine art.

    Hero Joy Nightingale,16,who communicates through hand movements,is to be given assistants to paint and sculpt on her behalf.Her mother Pauline Reid “translated for” her daughter during interviews for the place at Magdalen College.

    The teenager is the most severely handicapped student ever to be granted a place at Oxford.She suffers from “locked-in syndrome”,a profound apraxia caused by brain damage that renders her body useless and her voice mute.

    She is unlikely ever to be able to walk,feed or care for herself but,thanks to the efforts of her mother,she can communicate.When Hero was four,Pauline devised a complicated system of hand gestures that equate to the alphabet.

    A spokesperson for Oxford said,“The university welcomes applications from students with disabilities.In cases where students are profoundly disabled,there may be many issues that need to be carefully addressed before an individual can take up a place,such as establishing how the student can best be taught and examined.”

    Hero,who suffers almost daily epileptic fits and has a hole in her heart,has not attended school since she was six.She has been taught at home by her mother and father,the pro-vice chancellor of Kent University.

    Peter Giles,her art tutor until last year,said she has a genuine talent for art.“She is ferociously gifted.We would sit together and her mother would grab her daughter’s hand and then we would begin work,”he said.

    Together,they built several modern sculptures from plaster and metal.“The instructions would take a while to decipher.But eventually,they would come,and eventually make sense.”

    Hero’s classes will be held at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art.

    Hero communicates with others _________.

    A.through common hand movements

    B.by typing words on computer

    C.through a complicated system of hand gestures devised by her mother

    D.by drawing pictures on a board

    According to the passage,how does Hero paint or sculpt?

    A.She instructs her assistants to paint or sculpt through hand movements.

    B.She gives instructions,and her mother paints or sculpts following her instructions.

    C.She paints or sculpts with her own hands.

    D.She gives instructions,her mother “translates” them,and her assistants paint or sculpt according to the “translations”.

    From the story we can infer _________.

    A.Oxford welcomes any handicapped student who is good at fine art

    B.Hero has not attended school since she was six

    C.Hero is gifted in fine art

    D.Hero is a strong-minded girl who loves life very much

    Which of the following is NOT true?

    A.Hero is the most seriously handicapped student ever to be admitted to Oxford.

    B.Oxford will admit a disabled student without any requirements.

    C.Hero has been taught by her parents at home for10 years.

    D.Hero is not able to walk,talk or hold a paintbrush.

    Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.
    Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.
    To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV pro-grams are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Re-minding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).
    Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb — all the best, bbfn —bye bye for now, cul8er — see you later, gr8 — great, Idk — I don’t know, imbl — it must be love, kit — keep in touch, paw — parents are watching, lol — laugh out loud, xlnt — excellent!
    【小题1】The passage is meant for ______.

    A．childrenB．parentsC．teachersD．net bar owners
    【小题2】Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
    A．The Internet is no good for children.
    B．The chat language is strange to adults.
    C．Children shouldn’t chat so much online.
    D．The Internet is a good place for children.
    【小题3】In order to keep children safe online, you’d better ______.
    A．choose suitable websites and chat rooms for them
    B．teach them to use correct net words
    C．surf the Internet together with them
    D．forbid them to use the Internet

    Public caught up in argument over safety of genetically modified or simply GM products, report Zhang Lei and Zhong Nan in Beijing.

    More than 300 people gathered to enjoy a bowl of porridge made from genetically modified food on Saturday, an attempt to quell public fears about the safety of the product.

    The first China Golden Rice Tasting Event was held at Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, Hubei province, sparking another round in the nationwide debate about the safety of GM crops, often called "Frankenfood" by opponents.

    Similar events have been held in more than 28 cities since May, the university said.

    Both the pro and anti camps have posted conflicting comments on the Internet, with each providing evidence to back up their beliefs, but the exchanges are becoming increasingly bitter.

    Jiang Tao, a senior engineer at the Center for Agricultural Resources Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who is in favor of GM foods, was annoyed about what he called "amateurs" spreading rumors.

    "Just look at the people who are opposed to GM foods; can you find anyone from a related field in the scientific community?" he asked. Jiang also accused the anti-GM lobby of repeatedly using outdated or inaccurate data to support an "incorrect" stance.

    Chen Yunfa, an independent researcher into the Yangtze River Delta economy, recently wrote a commentary on the Internet news portal Eastday in which he criticized the actions of the 61 scientists, saying they had gone "beyond their proper duty". He suggested that large multinational corporations might be behind the letter and similar incidents, prompted by a desire to freeze China's patent hybrid rice technology out of the market.

    To support his contentions, Chen said that GM rice, first produced by scientists in the US, still hasn't gained official approval from the US government. However, the US authorities have actually granted licenses to six varieties of GM rice. The commercial planting of two varieties - anti-herbicide (BAR) transgenic rice LL RICE 06 and LL RICE 62 - produced by the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis, was approved in 1999 and a license for cultivation for edible use was granted in 2000.

    The public outcry for GM labeling and boycotting has hindered the advancement of the technology. Concern about GM foods has been fueled by studies like the one published by French professor Gilles-Eric Séralini in September 2012. Séralini claimed that his research involving rats proved that the GM corn fed to them caused tumor growth. Furthermore, there is growing concern that the pesticides(杀虫剂) used on GMOs(转基因作物)are contributing to the decline of the world’s honey bee population, leading to honey bee deaths by infecting the brains of the insects with toxins. Therefore, some experts recommend the labeling of non-GM foods so that consumers can make that decision without a regulatory burden being placed on GMOs.

    However, we should be cautious about anything that may risk humans’ life. Only time will tell.

    1.Why did more than 300 people enjoy porridge made from genetically modified food?

    A. To show evidence that GM products are dangerous.

    B. To support that the first China Golden Rice Tasting is safe.

    C. To rid public of fears and worries about the safety of GM foods.

    D. To draw public’s attention to nationwide planting of GM products.

    2.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

    A. Those who are for GM products and those who are against keep arguing fiercely by holding conferences.

    B. People are failing to show evidence to support their pros and cons, although they hold a firm belief of their own.

    C. Some people think those against GM foods have a good knowledge of GM technology and are spreading rumors.

    D. GM food may be just a way for some multinational corporations to drive China’s patent hybrid rice out of the market.

    3.What can we infer from the second paragraph from bottom?

    A. The public advocated that GM products should be labeled clearly.

    B. Séralini claimed that his research proved the GM corn caused rats to grow faster.

    C. Many honey bees have died because they were fed with GM corn.

    D. There should be some restrictions on GM products’ selling.

    4.What is the writer’s attitude towards GM products?

    A. Supportive.                         B. Suspicious.                  C. Indifferent.               D. Critical.
