. DuPont Hospital for Children. He estimates that Kenadie’s condition, primordial dwarfism, is so rare that there are only about 125 people like her in the United States and Canada. Primordials, unlike other dwarfs, have what are considered normal proportions, but their growth is retarded(阻礙 )almost from the momenl of conception. In fact, the Dame of the condition es from one of the definitions of the word primordial“ from the moment of conception”. Kenadie weighed only pounds when she was born. Her hand was as big as a quarter, and her foot was only an inch and a half long.“ I just want to hear her cry. If she cries,” Kenadie’s mother, Brianne Jourdin?Bromley, said she remembered thinking.“ Then she’ S alive. And then we just heard this tiny, tiny little neow.” Kenadie was so small that nurses called her“ Thumbelina”. Doctors who had never seen a child as small as she was warned that the prognosis was not good. “ They really believed that she would not live,” Brianne said.“ And then you go back to her and you’d think,‘ Well, how can she not be OK? She’s so perfect.’” Thinking back to Kenadie’s birth, her proud father, Court Bromley, said,“ I have never seen anything so incredible and so perfectly formed.” Little did Brianne and Court know that they both carried a defective gene that gave them a one in four chance of having a child like Kenadie. “ The only way they’re identified is after they’ve had one child,” Scott said.“ There’s nothing we know of that causes that mutation. Nothing that you can do to fix it or change it. It’s purely chance.” Title: The 71 people in the World Name Kenadie 72 old Height 73 inches 74 10 pounds How many people who are like her in the USA and Canada? about 75 when she was born weight her hand her 76 the nurses the 77 78 pounds as big as a 79 only one and a half inches long call her 80 believe that she wouldn’t 1ive 第五部分:書面表達(dá) (滿分 25分 ) 據(jù)報(bào)道,法國(guó)生產(chǎn)汽車的雪鐵龍公司 (Citroen)在廣告中使用 了我國(guó) 領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人毛澤東的照片。 bring sth. into existence 意為“使某物產(chǎn)生”。 26. 【解析】 C 考查“ make+介詞”的用法?!?It is the first time+從句”,從句的時(shí)態(tài)常用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。 32. 【解析】 C 考查時(shí)態(tài)?!?知選用現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)。 42.【解析】上班是迫不得已的事,因此用 had to。 47.【解析】 “我”開(kāi)始做些手勢(shì)。 53.【解析】 walk around意思是“四處走走”??赏茢啻祟}答案為 D。 63. 【解析】 A 從文章第五段可知此題正確答案應(yīng)為 A。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段后半部分可推斷此項(xiàng)正確。 70. 【解析】 C 寫標(biāo)題,綜合一、二兩段文字可得知本文主要講述太空輻射的影響。倒數(shù)第二段表明人們當(dāng)初對(duì)機(jī)器狗的看法是錯(cuò)誤 的, 但這并不意味著未來(lái)機(jī)器狗能改變?nèi)藗兊男拍?,所?C 項(xiàng)不正確;其余兩項(xiàng)在文中沒(méi)有信息支持。 65. 【解 析】 C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章是按上班前在家中活動(dòng)的時(shí)間順序來(lái)安排的。 第三部分:閱讀理解 56. 【解析】 B 此題是事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。 50.【解析】“坐在桌旁”用 at the table。 shortly after 連詞詞組,??不久以后”。 38.【解析】 take a taxi“乘出租車”。 34. 【解析】 B 考查“代替”的幾種英譯法?!边x A。 look into意為“調(diào)查”。 convince sb. of sth.意為“使某人相信某事”。 2.詞數(shù) 150 左右。s advice.

Our feelings of wellbeing at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two. Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference. Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is plex. In the past halfcentury, average ine has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues. “ Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other waysscientists or actors, for examplemay happily accept relatively poorlypaid jobs. In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desiresnot just for money, but for friends, family, job, healthrose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap(差距 ). Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than ine alone.“ The gap measures just blow away the only measures of ine,” says Michalos. Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad.“ Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied?” asks Professor Laura Carstensen. In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between
