Baby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl, while boys will head for the toy cars,  a study has shown. The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.
Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 infants aged nine months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were stereotypically boys' toys - a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy.  The rest were girls’ toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.
Of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two-and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the children’s choice.
Dr Brenda Todd said: “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer moving objects, probably through hunting instincts（本能）, while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby.”

  1. 1.

    Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because         

    1. A.
      baby boys are much more active
    2. B.
      baby girls like bright colors more
    3. C.
      their parents treat them differently
    4. D.
      there is a natural difference between them
  2. 2.

    What can we infer from Paragraph 3 ?

    1. A.
      Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at all
    2. B.
      Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls
    3. C.
      The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is
    4. D.
      Parents should teach their babies to share each other’s toys
  3. 3.

    What conclusion did Dr. Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?

    1. A.
      Adults purposely influence their babies preference
    2. B.
      Babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings
    3. C.
      Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting
    4. D.
      Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted

Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes（基因）, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied（應用）, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(壽命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture (produce) human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.

  1. 1.

    What does “these two killers” in the second paragraph refer to?

    1. A.
      Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
    2. B.
      The two murderers who killed the cloned baby
    3. C.
      The two diseases of cancer and heart disease
    4. D.
      Hereditary diseases and cancer
  2. 2.

    What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?

    1. A.
      How gene technology can be applied to cure family diseases.
    2. B.
      Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
    3. C.
      Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.
    4. D.
      Gene technology can help the English imperial family out
  3. 3.

    What is the main purpose of writing this passage?

    1. A.
      Expressing the writer’s idea that gene technology will benefit people
    2. B.
      Telling people the advantages of gene technology
    3. C.
      Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people
    4. D.
      Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity
  4. 4.

    Which of the following worries people by using this technology?

    1. A.
      Scientists have already successfully cloned sheep.
    2. B.
      Most couple will normally give birth to babies.
    3. C.
      A good number of babies will be cloned
    4. D.
      The government will take action to control it.

Bacteria(細菌) are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or centimeters, bacterial size is measured in micron. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter; a pinhead is about a millimeter across, Rod-shaped bacteria are usually from two to four microns long, while rounded ones are generally one micron across. Thus, if you magnified a rounded bacterium a thousand times, it would be just the size of a pinhead, while a grown-up human enlarged by the same amount would be over a mile tall.
Even with an ordinary microscope(顯微鏡), you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a magnification of 100 times, one can hardly find bacteria. Nor can one make out anything of their structure(結(jié)構(gòu)), of course. Only by using special colors, can one see that some bacteria have wavy-looking “hairs” called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella move round a central point, pushing the bacteria through the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by their own power, while others can move along over surface by some little-understood “machinery”.
From the bacterial point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans. To a bacterium, water is as thick as molasses(糖漿) is to us. Bacteria are so small that they are affected by the movements of the chemical molecules(分子) around them. Bacteria under microscopes, even those with no flagella, often jump up and down in the water. This is because they knock with the water molecules and are pushed this way and that.

  1. 1.

    The underlined word magnified means _______________.

    1. A.
      enlarged                                                     
    2. B.
      widened                  
    3. C.
      killed                                                         
    4. D.
      caught
  2. 2.

    We know from the passage that _______________ is the smallest.

    1. A.
      a pinhead                                           
    2. B.
      a rounded bacterium 
    3. C.
      a microscope                                       
    4. D.
      a rod-shaped bacterium
  3. 3.

    The relationship between a bacterium and its flagella is most nearly like which of the following?

    1. A.
      A rider jumping on a horse back 
    2. B.
      A ball being hit by a bet
    3. C.
      A boat powered by a motor    
    4. D.
      A door closed by wind
  4. 4.

    Why does the writer compares water to molasses in the third paragraph?

    1. A.
      To tell us how difficult it is for bacteria to move through water.
    2. B.
      To suggest that bacteria are fond of different liquids.
    3. C.
      To show different chemicals are of different structures.
    4. D.
      To show that bacteria are the best swimmers.
  5. 5.

    Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?

    1. A.
      The characteristic (特點) of bacteria.      
    2. B.
      How bacteria reproduce.

Here’s an amazing way to get a hard-boiled egg into a bottle, even though the mouth of the boiled is smaller than the egg! What’s more, you don’t even need to touch the egg to get it to go in!
For this experiment you will need:
·a hard-boiled egg
·a glass bottle with a mouth just slightly smaller than the egg (a fruit-drink bottle works well)
·a 8-cm by 8-cm(3-inch by 3-inch)piece of newspaper
·a match
Remove the shell from the egg. Set the egg on the mouth of the bottle to see that the egg does not fit through the mouth.
Light the paper. Remove the egg from the mouth of the bottle and drop the burning paper into the bottle. Before the fire goes out, set the egg back onto the mouth of the bottle. Within a few seconds the egg will squeeze(擠) through the mouth and into the bottle.
As it entered the bottle, the egg may have broken into pieces. This happens when the diameter(直徑) of the egg is more than about 0.5 cm(about 3/16 inch) larger than the diameter of the bottle’s opening.
Why does the egg slide into the bottle, even though no one is pushing it? Because the pressure of the air is pushing it. Before the burning paper is put into the bottle, the pressure of the air inside is the same as outside. The burning paper, however, heats the air inside. This causes the air inside to expand. When the egg is placed on top of the bottle, it seals(封住) the bottle. When the fire goes out, the air inside cools. As it cools, the air contracts(緊縮), and the pressure of the air inside becomes less than the pressure outside. Then, the higher outside pressure pushes the egg into the bottle!

  1. 1.

    The best title of this passage can be      .

    1. A.
      An interesting story
    2. B.
      The pressure of the air
    3. C.
      Egg in a bottle
    4. D.
      Egg, bottle and match
  2. 2.

    What don’t you need in this experiment?

    1. A.
      Eggs.
    2. B.
      Water.
    3. C.
      Bottles.
    4. D.
      Paper.
  3. 3.

    Why will the egg break into pieces while entering the bottle?

    1. A.
      Because of the burning paper.
    2. B.
      Because the diameter of the egg is too larger than that of the bottles opening.
    3. C.
      Because it is cool inside the bottle.
    4. D.
      Because the pressure of the air inside is larger.
  4. 4.

    What is the most important to get the egg into a bottle?

    1. A.
      A match.
    2. B.
      A fruit-drink bottle.
    3. C.
      The pressure of the air.
    4. D.
      The burning paper.
