11.The date of birth may affect one's chance to climb up to the topmost position in future career,a Canadian study shows.The study is based on (61)a sample of 375CEOs.
The study found that only 6.13percent and 5.87percent of the CEOs (62)were born (bear) in June and July.By comparison,people born in March and April represented 12.53percent and 10.67percent of the sample,it said.Professor Maurice Levi said their (63)findings (find) indicate that summer babies are (64)less likely (likely) to be CEOs due to a"birth-date effect".
In the United Sates,cut-off dates for school admission fall between September and January.Students born between June and July are the youngest in their class,(65)and/while those born in March and April are the oldest,(66)taking (take) into account that children with (67)birthdays (birthday) too close to the cut-off dates often start their school behind or ahead  (68)of schedule.
"With advantages on intellectual development,older children in the same grade tend(69)to perform (perform) better than the younger ones,"explained Levi."Early success is often rewarded with leadership and learning opportunities,leading to future advantages (70)that/which  are magnified (擴(kuò)大)throughout life."

分析 本文首先介紹了Maurice Levi 教授的研究發(fā)現(xiàn):一個(gè)人的出生日期可能會影響到他在未來的職業(yè)生涯中晉升到最重要位置的機(jī)會;其次文中論述了他的個(gè)人觀點(diǎn);在以375名首席執(zhí)行官為樣本進(jìn)行的研究中,由于出生于6,7月份的首席執(zhí)行官所占的比例明顯要低于出生于3,4月份的首席執(zhí)行官,所以Maurice Levi 教授認(rèn)為根據(jù)"生日效應(yīng)",夏天出生的孩子不太可能成為首席執(zhí)行官;他還認(rèn)為伴隨著智力發(fā)展的優(yōu)勢,在同年級中就讀的孩子往往年齡大的比年齡小的孩子表現(xiàn)得更好;早期獲得成功的人經(jīng)常會成為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的角色,可以得到更多的學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會,并會對影響他終生的未來前途更加有利.

解答 答案:
61.a(chǎn)   考查不定冠詞    此處表示泛指由375名首席執(zhí)行官組成的一份樣本;故填a;
62.were born    考查時(shí)態(tài)及語態(tài)   本句的意思是:該項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)只有6.13%和5.87%的首席執(zhí)行官分別出生于6,7月份;由于動(dòng)詞bear與主語the CEOs 是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,表示的是過去發(fā)生的動(dòng)作;所以這里應(yīng)使用一般過去時(shí)態(tài)的被動(dòng)語態(tài);由于本句的主語"6.13percent and 5.87percent of the CEOs"指6.13%和5.87%的首席執(zhí)行官們,表示復(fù)數(shù);故填were born;   
63.findings    考查詞類轉(zhuǎn)換以及名詞    此處用在形容詞性的物主代詞之后,指Maurice Levi教授以及他的團(tuán)隊(duì)的一些發(fā)現(xiàn);故用名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式findings;
64.less likely   考查句意理解以及形容詞的比較級     根據(jù)上文"The study found that…in March and April represented 12.53percent and 10.67percent of the sample,"可知,出生于6,7月份的首席執(zhí)行官所占的比例要明顯低于出生于3,4月份的首席執(zhí)行官,因此本句表達(dá)的應(yīng)是通過比對出生月份不同的首席執(zhí)行官們所得出的結(jié)論:由于"生日效應(yīng)",(與3,4月份出生的孩子相比,)夏天出生的孩子就不太可能成為首席執(zhí)行官;故用 less likely;  
65.a(chǎn)nd/while       考查連詞    根據(jù)上一句"Students born between June and July are the youngest in their class生于6,7月份的學(xué)生是班上年齡最小的"以及"those born in March and April are the oldest那些生于3,4月份的學(xué)生是年齡最大的"的句意可知,此處表示并列或比對;故填連詞and/while;      
66.taking      考查現(xiàn)在分詞    此處在句中作狀語,動(dòng)詞take與邏輯主語構(gòu)成的是主謂關(guān)系;故用taking;
67.birthdays    考查名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)    根據(jù)"that children with (67)(birthday)  too close to the cut-off dates那些生日過于接近截止日期的孩子們"可知,此處指的是那些孩子們的生日;故填名詞的復(fù)數(shù)birthdays;
68.of      考查固定短語     固定短語ahead of 意為:提前;在…之前;故填of;
69.to perform     考查固定短語      固定短語 tend to 意為:易于,有…的傾向;本句的意思為:伴隨著智力發(fā)展的優(yōu)勢,同年級中年齡較大的孩子往往比年齡小的孩子表現(xiàn)得更好;故填to perform; 
70.that/which       考查關(guān)系代詞      根據(jù)句意可知,本句是定語從句;先行詞future advantages(將來的優(yōu)勢)在從句中作主語;故填關(guān)系代詞that/which.

點(diǎn)評 語法填空主要考查了各種語法知識在短文中的具體運(yùn)用.做本題時(shí),需要在正確理解短文的前提下,逐句分析句意以及所考查到的語法現(xiàn)象;因此在平時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)中,應(yīng)熟練掌握各種語法知識,其中包括詞法,句法,各種時(shí)態(tài)語態(tài)以及虛擬語氣等.

2.For years we have been dieting strictly after the year-end overeating,afraid that when summer.comes,the bigger size we have accumulated will betray how we ate.Now scientists say,it's a little bug that causes obesity(肥胖).
As the holiday season with its abundant feasting arrives,millions of food lovers are keeping an eye on their figures.But scientists have found that weight gain is not about too much Christmas turkey or hot chocolates,but some bacteria in your guts(腸).
Chinese scientists recently discovered a type ofbacteria in guts that may be to blame for obesity.
A research team led by Zhao Liping,a professor in Shanghai,has identified a precise link between a particular kind ofbacteria and unusual weight gain.
"The endotoxin(內(nèi)毒素) released by the bacterium can activate(激活) a gene that helps produce fat.And it also deactivates a gene that consumes fat,"Zhao says.
Scientists have long believed that microscopic organisms in the gut,microbiota,may play a very important role in weight gain,but they had never been able to prove it.
In 2004,American microbiologist Jeffrey Gordon and his colleagues discovered a general link between obesity and gut microbiota in mice.
While a link was believed to exist,proving it was another matter.
"The list of diseases that they may play a role in is just growing and growing,"says Lita Proctor,director of the US National Institutes of Health."But the problem is that we're only able to look at associations and aren't yet able to conduct cause-and-effect studies."
In the clinical study,researchers found a growth of too much endotoxin-producing bacteria,leading t0 35percent ofthe gut bacteria,in an obese patient whose initial weight was 175kg.
Based on this information,researchers tried to cure the patient by feeding him a specialized nutritional liquid food to decrease the bacteria in his guts to ignorable amounts.
After 23 weeks,the patient lost 51.4kg,with his fatty liver disease having almost disappeared.

36.We diet strictly after the year-end overeating becauseD.
A.we won't betray ourselves
B.we eat too much turkey
C.there are bacteria in our guts
D.we don't want to look fat
37.What can be learned from Zhao's research?A
A.Obesity is related to a kind of bacteria.
B.Healthy diet helps reduce your fat.
C.Chocolate doesn't cause weight gain.
D.Too much food leads to overweight.
38.Which of the following statements is TRUE?C
A.Scientists didn't try to find out the cause of overweight.
B.There is a link between mice's overweight and human's.
C.Lita proved the link between bacteria and weight gain.
D.Scientists found bacteria may be related to many diseases.
39.The patient finally lost 51.4kg of his weight afterB.
A.35percent of his gut bacteria were killed
B.the amount of gut bacteria was decreased
C.he had a special kind ofoperation
D.his fatty liver had disappeared
40.What does the passage mainly talk about?C
A.People's eating habits.
B.Healthy lifestyles.
C.A medical discovery.
D.The consequence of obesity.

18.John Wesley Powell(1834-1902)Was a famous explorer of the American West.When he Was young,his mother put him under the guidance of George Crookham,a self-taught scientist,from whom he received a wide,but informal,education.Young John learned many things about the natural sciences.But his father preferred him to study religion.The argument continued for three years.Then John decided to leave home to seek further education.He soon discovered that he knew more about science than any teacher he met.He realized that the only good scientific education in the country came from colleges in the east,like Harvard and Yale.But he Was too poor to go to them,SO he got work as a school teacher in Illinois.Whenever possible,he went on scientific trips of his own.  
In 1861,civil war broke out in the United States.John joined the Union forces of the North.At the battle of Shiloh Powell lost his right arm.Despite his disability,he began his famous exploration of the Colorado River on May 24 1869.
It Was one of the greatest trips of discovery in the history of America.Never before had any white men traveled to that area.The trip Was far more dangerous than expected.The rivers were filled with rocky areas and waterfalls.Sometimes,the boats overturned or broke into pieces against big rocks.All along the way,Powell measured distances,temperatures,heights,depths and currents.He examined soils,rocks and plant life.Powell'S explorations led to the creation of US Geological Survey,which became responsible for all mapping and scientific programs of American lands.
Powell's scientific studies of western lands shaped his ideas of how those lands should be used.He suggested programs to control both crop farming and cattle raising.He Was especially concerned about water supplies.Many of his ideas were rejected at first and were not signed into law until years after his death because they were far ahead of his time.
66.Who do you think had a major influence on John Wesley Powell'S life?B
A.His mother.   
B.George Crookham.
C.His father.    
D.The teachers in Harvard and Yale.
67.John argued with his father becauseC.
A.his father refused him to leave home   
B.he wanted to go to college
C.his father wanted him to study religion
D.he wanted to work instead of study
68.The author wrote about John's experience of the civil war in order to show his following  characters exceptC.
A.his courage          B.his determination
C.his bad fortune      D.his braveness
69.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?B
A.The great discovery Powell made for America.
B.The difficulties and importance of Powell's exploration.
C.The way Powell carried out his great exploration.
D.The cause of the creation of US Geological Survey.
70.From the text we can see thatD
A.Harvard University gave Powell much support for his exploration
B.John was the first American to travel to the Colorado River
C.most of Powell'S ideas were signed into law before he died
D.Powell'S explorations caused the creation of US Geological Survey.
