核心考点
试题【Do you know  21 languages there are in the world? There are about 1500, but many】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
There is no excuse for not doing your assignments(作业). If you can’t come to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate and ask about homework. It is your responsibility(责任)to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher’s job to remind you of the missed assignments.
You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a make-up test(补考),you should take the test within one or two days after you return to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.
Be on time! It is impolite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. In the USA, it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.
In America, you should call your teacher by his or her last name instead of “ teacher”. Also you should use Mr, Miss, Ms or Mrs before the last name ( such as Mrs Smith or Mr Jones). This is polite. The teacher will tell you the title that he or she likes. It is impolite in the USA to eat, drink or chew gum during class. Don’t do these until the break. Also, removing your shoes in the classroom is not polite.
小题1:What should you do if you miss a class?
A.Give an excuse for missing the assignments.
B.Tell the teacher you can’t come to school or do the assignments.
C.Ask your teacher to remind you of the missed assignments.
D.Call your teacher or your classmate to find out what assignments were given.
小题2: When can a student miss a test according to the passage?
A.When he / she is late for the test.
B.When he/ she is really sick.
C.When he / she failed another test.
D.When he / she doesn’t want to have the test.
小题3: In America, if your teacher’s name is Susan Black, what should you call her politely?
A.Ms BlackB.Ms SusanC.Susan BlackD.Teacher Black
小题4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.A student is thought to be impolite when he / she takes off his / her shoes in
the classroom.
B.A student is thought to be impolite when he / she eats and drinks in class.

    Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.
There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families. (词数155)

How do you feel after you"ve stayed up late to finish schoolwork? Or the day after a slumber party? Scientists now say that your answers to these questions may depend on your genes.
Genes are stretches of DNA that work like an instruction manual for our cells. Genes tell our bodies and brains what to do. People have about 40,000 genes, and each gene can have different forms. So, for example, certain forms of some genes make your eyes blue. Other versions of those genes make your eyes brown.
In a similar way, new research suggests that a gene called period3 affects how well you function without sleep. The discovery adds to older evidence that period3 helps determine whether you like to stay up late or get up early.
The period3 gene comes in two forms: short and long. Everyone has two copies of the gene. So, you may have two longs, two shorts, or one of each. Your particular combination depends on what your parents passed on to you.
Scientists from the University of Surrey in England studied 24 people who had either two short or two long copies of period3. Study participants had to stay awake for 40 hours straight. Then, they took tests that measured how quickly they pushed a button when numbers flashed on a screen and how well they could remember lists of numbers.
Results showed that the people with the short form of period3 performed much better on these tests than the people with the long form did. In both groups, people performed worst in the early morning. That"s the time when truck drivers and other night-shift workers say they have the most trouble concentrating.
After the first round of experiments, participants were finally allowed to sleep. People in the group that performed well on the tests took about 18 minutes to nod off.
People with the long period3 gene, by contrast, fell asleep in just 8 minutes. They also spent more time in deep sleep. That suggests that people with the long form of the gene need more and deeper sleep to keep their brains working at top form.
小题1:We can know from the passage that genes can not ________.
A.tell our bodies and brains what to do
B.make our eyes blue or brown
C.decide how well you work without sleep
D.ensure whether you’re good at driving
小题2:Which of the following statements about the period3 is wrong?
 
A.It affects whether you like to stay up late or get up early.
B.It comes in two forms: short and long.
C.One has either two longs or two shorts of it.
D.Your parents determine what particular combination you have.
小题3: People with the short form of period3__________.
 
A.need to go to bed early and get up early
B.can work better than the people with long form of period3 without sleep
C.take less time to fall asleep after they stay up late
D.need more and deeper sleep to keep their brains working at top form
小题4:What’s the best title of the passage?
A.The Period3 GeneB.The Function of Genes
C.Wake up, Sleepy GeneD.Stay up Late or Get up Early?
