| We each have a unique genetic (基因的,遗传的) make-up. Every cell of your body has the same set of about 100,000 separate genes made of DNA. These are the instructions for producing a person. Genes decide everything from the colour of your skin to the way your brain works. You have one of several billion combinations of DNA which come from the random mixing of your parents' genes. Except for identical twins (同卵双胞胎), no one has the same combination as another person. You are unique! You are unique in another way too: in the way you are raised and all the experiences you have from before birth to adult life.These experiences influence you, your behaviour and attitudes, and the choices you make. But are genes or life experiences more important in shaping your appearance and personality? Scientists are studying twins to find out. One set of twins occurs every 70 births---some are identical and others are non-identical twins. Identical twins are special because they share exactly the same genes and often the same environment. Non-identical twins are more like ordinary brothers and sisters. Some identical twins have been adopted and brought up in different homes. With identical genes but a different home environment, scientists can study twins to see how much a particular feature depends on the genes we inherit. For example, we know that eye problems, like short-sightedness, are mostly genetic. But resistance to pain is largely dependent on experiences. Genes also influence our eating habits. Identical twins brought up apart often like to eat at the same time of day and feel full after eating the same amount. Non-identical twins in similar circumstances have more varied eating habits. Identical twins are also more likely to follow the same patterns for marriage and divorce than non-identical twins. Scientists are trying to identify the different genes that influence our behaviour. Some people are thrill-seekers and get into risk-taking and adventurous activities. They take up extreme sports like bungee jumping and possibly take drugs. Scientists have discovered a gene which affects this. We could ask, "Are our lives determined by our genes or our upbringing?" Scientists are learning more all the time, but it is certainly true that both are important in making us who we are. |
| 1. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? |
| A. We cannot easily change our physical appearance. B. How we turn out depends on our parents' genes. C. Everyone has a physical double somewhere in the world. D. Both our genes and our experiences make us who we are. |
| 2. Why are scientists studying twins? |
| A. To find out how many twins are born every year. B. To discover what shapes us as individuals. C. To compare differences between twins. D. To study brother-and-sister relationships. |
| 3. According to the passage, __________. |
| A. one in 70 twins are genetically identical B. non-identical twins are usually not of the same sex C. twins separated at birth behave exactly the same D. identical twins are genetically the same |
| 4. Which of the following is most affected by experience according the passage? |
| A. Eating habits. B. Eye-sight. C. Pain resistance. D. Marriage patterns. |
| 5. What does the underlined "this" in Paragraph 4 refer to? |
| A. Our love of sport. B. Our attitude to risk-taking. C. Our skill at bungee jumping. D. Our ability to take drugs. |

| One-hundred-and seventh birthdays aren't usually celebrated for authors who aren't alive anymore. But Theodor Seuss Geisel-better known as the children's books author Dr. Seuss -who came into the world on 2 March, 1904, was an unusual man. Like generations of children I was raised on his wonderful stories. But when I now read them to my children it's not just the childhood memories I enjoy. His writing is brilliant and imaginative and flows with a self-confidence as sure as the words of a Shakespeare poem. Readers ride his characteristic rhythm (韵律) with an effortless joy that cannot be matched by any other modern writer: You have brains in your head You have feet in your shoes You can steer yourself any direction you choose And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed. Seuss's brilliant cartoons and clever words make his books a delight for adults but they attract mostly children of course. His stories teach kids moral lessons but in indirect and entertaining ways. The first Seuss book I was given was The Lorax, written just as the 60s were becoming the 70s. Seuss was ahead of his time, and in this book the dawn of concern for environmental problems are shown as the Lorax "who speaks for the trees" battles against an evil businessman who wants to destroy the forest and make goods "which everyone needs". It's not only a warning of the heavy price of environmental destruction, written well before most people had thought to worry, but it's also a smart analysis of consumer societies: "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." This is of course a moral message, but not of the kind designed to persuade the youngsters into behavior that adults want. I could go on, but hey, it's a birthday, and I'm sure you folks have some good toasts to raise for the party… |
| 1. What's the purpose of this passage? |
| A. To introduce Dr. Seuss's life. B. To analyze Dr. Seuss's books. C. To describe Dr. Seuss's writing style. D. To celebrate Dr. Seuss's achievements. |
| 2. Why does the author include Dr. Seuss's poem? |
| A. To encourage readers to use their brains and choose their own way. B. To give readers a sample of Seuss's story The Lorax. C. To provide readers with an example of Seuss's writing style. D. To explain how relevant Seuss's stories remain today. |
| 3. Why do adults also enjoy Seuss's books? |
| A. His words and pictures are imaginative enough to be enjoyed by all. B. His books give children obvious moral messages to learn from. C. He writes about adult topics in a way that is understandable to children. D. He was the first person to write about the environment. |
| 4. When was the book The Lorax written? |
| A. Early 1960s. B. Early 1970s. C. Late 1960s. D. Late 1970s. |
| 5. Which of the following is true about Seuss? |
| A. Many of the issues he discussed attracted greater concern in later years. B. He is widely considered as the twentieth-century Shakespeare. C. His books are more popular now than when they were first published. D. Most readers thought his ideas were difficult to understand. |
