第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

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。

A

Brian was unhappy because he had to babysit his little sister Crissy on the first day of their mountain vacation since Mom had to pick up Dad at the airport and wouldn’t be back until later. “I’ll miss the Perseids this year,” he said.

“What are the Perseids?” Crissy asked.

“They’re lots of falling stars called a meteor shower (流星雨) that comes every August,” Brian replied, annoyed.

“ Let’s sleep on the deck (露天平台) tonight. We can both watch!” Crissy suggested.

That was not a bad idea, Brian thought. “OK. I’ll leave a note inside so Mom and Dad know we’re on the deck. Go and get your sleeping bag.”

When Crissy returned, she asked, “When will the stars come out?”

“Soon. The Perseids come early in the morning.”

They both soon fell asleep. Suddenly, Brian heard something moving on the other side of the deck. He tried to be very quiet so he would not frighten whatever it was. Carefully, he looked out of the sleeping bag and found there was a large black bear standing on his back legs. Crissy was awake too. “We have a visitor. It’s a bear,” Brian tried to sound confident so Crissy wouldn’t be frightened, but inside, he was very nervous.

“I’m scared,” Crissy said in a low voice.

“Just don’t move,” Brian warned.

The bear was now eating the hamburgers they had placed on the deck earlier. Brian covered both of them with his sleeping bag. Crissy closed her eyes and held her breath. Brian tried to stay still.

Minutes later, Crissy asked, “Is he gone?”

Looking out of the sleeping bag again, Brian replied, “Yep. I guess he was just hungry.”

“Well, I’m just glad he liked our dinner and didn’t eat ME!” Crissy laughed.

Brian laughed too, “Nah! That bear just wanted some just food!”

Crissy hugged her brother, and Brian hugged her back. Things didn’t turn out so badly after all, he thought.

“Look!” Brian said, pointing upward. Above their heads, the Perseids meteor shower had begun to move fast across the night sky like fireworks (烟花).

21. When Crissy knew a bear was visiting their deck, she felt_______.

A. unhappy B. annoyed C. frightened D. confident

22. What can we know about Brian from the passage?

A. He knew a lot of things about the bear.

C. Unusual sound at night D. Fireworks show

B

Dear Editor,

I have just returned home after studying for a year in Germany. But it seems that my parents don’t understand me now. They expect me to be the same person I was before I went abroad, but I’m not! Why can’t they let me be myself?

Jimmy

Hi, Jimmy,

As far as I know, people who have lived abroad often find that the adjustment (调整) to returning home is more difficult than their adjustment to living in a foreign culture. Why? We expect to have some problems when we go to a new place, speak a different language and learn the rules of a different culture ... But home? ... we know that place!

Your parents expect that the same person who boarded the airplane one year ago will be returning. Especially if they have never been abroad themselves, your parents probably won’t understand the changes that living abroad can cause in a person. On the other hand, you may have maintained (保持) an ideal mental image of your loved ones while abroad, an image that is broken into pieces when you return.

Remember you have been living a different lifestyle in your host country, and you have probably become very independent while staying there alone. Now that you’re home, you will be expected to conform (顺应)again to the lifestyle of your family. As a result, you may be upset about your parents’ involvement in your life.

Communication is the key to overcoming this problem. Tell your parents how you are feeling. Share with them information about cultural re-entry(重归), and ask them to be patient. This does not mean that you have to forget your experience and give up everything you’ve learned! Learn to find a balance between the old and new, just as you did when first adjusting to your host country’s culture.

24. What is Jimmy’s main purpose in writing the letter?

A. To criticize his parents. B. To ask for advice about his studies.

C. To complain about his parents. D. To ask for help.

25. What does the editor think of Jimmy’s problem?

A. It’s unusual. B. It’s normal. C. It’s serious. D. It’s interesting.

26. The editor thinks that both Jimmy and his parents ______.

A. have changed in the past year

B. have unrealistic expectations of each other

C. need to behave like they did before

D. need to find a balance between the good and bad

27. The author suggests that ______ would help solve Jimmy’s problem.

A. patience and trust

B. patience and politeness

C. better communication between family members

D. a deeper understanding of the host country’s culture

C

Like people, plants experience stress. And also, like people, the response to that stress can determine success.

Bad environmental conditions, such as drought, flood, heat and other stresses, affect yields(产量 ) more than crop pests and diseases. We are trying to find a way to equip plants with the ability to tolerate environmental stress and maintain high yields, said Stephen Howell, a professor of genetics and cell biology.

Plant cells produce proteins（蛋白质) and ship them to different parts of the cell. Under normal conditions, these proteins are folded into their normal, healthy structures as they are produced. When a plant is under stress, its cells produce poorly folded or unfolded proteins. Then a built-in system senses this and “sets off an alarm in the cell,” said Howell.

In response to the alarm, another protein (IRE1) starts working and creates a different process which activates (激活) the stress response genes whose products bring about defensive measures that help the plant survive.

“As it turns out, responses that are activated under stress conditions actually inhibit the growth of plants,” said Howell. “This allows them to preserve their energy to survive the stress conditions.”

For plants in the wild, this response is a help for survival, he said. In production of agriculture crops, however, this response reduces yiel
