AA good friend of mine was complaining about her son the other day. “Did you notice,” she started, “how he didn't wait for me to get my salad before he dived into his?”True enough, the boy attacked his plate faster than a cat in the wild. Without manners, we're no more than animals. Actually, that's not true, I've been watching and feeding a group of wild cats, and they show unusual politeness toward each other .Even when food is scarce, they take turns, leaving tat least a small part for the next in line.My mother educated her three children to have good manners all the time. We were made to feel very uncomfortable as if we were sitting on pins and needles until we got used to saying please, thank you ,pardon me, and I'm sorry. And I have to say, while it was a painful learning experience, it was one of the most valuable.I can't tell you how often I sat with my friends, eating at their dinner tables, and their parents thought highly of my good manners. While it was a little embarrassing. I knew even then that my mother's teachings were paying off.Many years later, when I was attending seminars across the country, my manners were quite useful.While I regret that I haven't been a perfect example, I'm still working on it. I suppose, in this regard, my mother lives on through me, I didn't have her beautiful singing voice or her green eyes, but she did make sure I received one of her finest characteristics.26.

Reporters talk about DNA found at the scene of a crime. They talk about p olice finding DNA “fingerprints.” Police sometimes use DNA as a clue to find out who committed the crime.DNA is a substance that makes up genes. Everything alive has genes．Plants have genes．Animals have genes. You have genes.Genes are the basic units of heredity（遗传）Heredity means all the characteristics you inherit from your parents. You get your genes from your parents. You inherit half of your genes from your mother. You inherit half of your genes from your father.Genes are a kind of code．A tree’s g enes tell what shape its leaves will be．A cat’s genes tell what color its fur will be. Your genes tell what color your eyes will be. Your genes tell what color your hair will be. Everything about you comes from the code in your genes.Genes line up on strands（链）called chromosomes（染色体）in cells. Everything alive ismade up of cells. Chromosomes are in the center, or nucleus, of cells.Different parts of you are made of different kinds of cells. Your muscles are made of muscle cells. Your skin is made of skin cells．The code in your genes tells your body to make different kinds of cells. The genes in each cell tell the cell how to work. They tell the cell when to make new copies of itself.An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel first saw inherited patterns in pea plants．He experimented with pea plants in the 1860s．One of the things, or traits（特质）, Mendel studied was what makes some pea plants tall and some short．He said that the traits must come from units of heredity passed from the parent plants. These units were later called genes.In the mid-1900s, scientists discovered that genes are made of DNA. In the 1970s, scientists learned how to change DNA with genetic engineering. Scientists also learned that problems with certain genes cause diseases. Muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia are some genetic diseases-diseases caused by problems in genes. Today, scientists are looking for ways to cure genetic diseases by changing genes through a process called gene therapy.31. What is DNA?A. DNA is a kind of gene.B. DNA is a substance that makes up genes．C. DNA is the basic unit of heredity.D. DNA is a measure to protect crime.32. Which of the following about genes is correct according to the passage?A. Plants, animals and human beings have the same genes.B. Half people inherit all genes from their mother, others from their father.C. Genes decide the trees shapes, the cats’ fur color and our eyes’ color as well．D. Genes will give you a code when you need them.33. Where are genes?A. Genes lining up on strands called chromosomes are in the center of cells.B. Genes hide in everything alive in your body.C. Genes can be nowhere but in your mind, controlling all your actions.D. Genes travel in your body and help cope skin, muscle, and eyes.34. An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel .A. first saw inherited patterns in peopleB. was interested in why plants were differentC. first called the units of heredity from parents genesD. was the first who discovered genes35. We can conclude that .A. scientists were less intelligent than monks in 1900sB. some genes are bad and can cause diseasesC. we don’t need to worry about genetic diseases any longerD. the discovery of genes may be of great help in our daily lifeCWhen 7-year-old Warren Buffett said,“I will be the richest man one day,” his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how tomake money by selling drinks, delivering newspapers and buying stocks. The American had already earned $9,000 (equal to $90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school.And this month the 78-year-old man, who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock market, took the place of Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, as the world’s richest man. Gates’ worth declined $1.5 billion to $55.5 billion in 33 days after the recent financial storm, according to Forbes Magazine.Buffett, the only son of a stockbroker, was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age. At 8, he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls. At 11 when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend, the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.As a paper boy during high school, Buffett delivered two competitor papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffett bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collected rent. Young Buffett stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $5. The experience taught him one of the virtues in investing, patience.After graduating from university, Buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-Cola, Buffett has become rich.“Learning is important to Buffett’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he over-achieved his aptitude (能力).” sa id Charlie Munger, his longtime business partner.36. The passage is mainly about ___________.A. why Buffett took the place of Bill Gates as the world’s richest manB. what effect Buffett’s childhood experiences had on his successC. how Buffett earned his fortune and achieved his aptitudeD. what Buffett dreamt about when he was a child37. Which of the following is true about Buffett?A. His worth is more than $ 55.5 billion now.B. He is next to Bill Gates in wealth at the present time.C He achieved great success on stepping into the stock market.D He bought 162,000 square meters of farmland by selling soda pop.38. How did Buffett behave at the stock market?A. He often prefers some inexpensive stocks.B. He will buy the stock whose price is lower than its value.C. He always borrows money from his friends to buy stocks.D. He will sell the stock if its price doesn’t go up.39. Which is the main factor that determines Buffett’s success?A. His education.B. His family background.C. His desire to learn.D. His cooperation with his partner.40. What can we infer from the passage?A. Buffett is an immediate success in the stock market.B. Buffett and Gates are business partners.C. His father helped him a lot in his business.D. Buffett has a good sense of business.DI am one of those people who are terrible at saying no. I take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things I'd rather not be doing. I get stuff done, but it's not always the best I can do, or the best way I could spend my time.That's why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter.Being a quitter isn't being someone who gives up, who doesn't see important things through to the end. I aspire (渴望) to be the opposite of that. The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when there's no value in what he's doing, or when that value comes at the expense of something more important.A friend of mine once told me: "I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it." Odd though it sounds, we all tend to do this. We get involved in something, realize we don't want to be a part of it, but keep on going. We say "Well, I've already invested so much time in this, I might as well stick it out."I propose the opposite: quit as often as possible, regardless of project status or time invested. If you're reading a book, and don't like it, stop reading. Cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is to stop before your losses grow even more, and quit. Instead ofreading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one. Isn't that a better use of your time?Step back for a second. Let's learn how to say "no" at the beginning, or in the middle, and free up more of our time to do the things we'd like to be doing, and the things actually worth doing. Saying no is hard, and admitting a mistaken yes is even harder. Both if we do both, we'll start to make sure that we're spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses. Let's be quitters together.41.The author wants to be a quitter, because he _______________.A. wishes to have more time for relaxationB. hopes to improve his personalityC. expects to make more efficient use of his timeD. has found it hard to do several things at one time42.The underlined phrase "at the expense of " in paragraph 3 probably means _____.A. at the end ofB. at the cost ofC. at the age ofD. at the back of43.In what circumstances does the author suggest quitting is a good idea?A. When you know a task cannot be finished.B. When you feel tired and need a rest.C. When you meet with difficulties along the way.D. When you realize what you are doing is not worth the time.44. If you stop reading a book after many pages, the author might think that _______.A. you are wise to cut your lossesB. it's a pity that you have wasted so much timeC. you should finish a book that you have startedD. you should regret choosing the wrong book45. The message the author tries to convey is to ___________.A. learn to say noB. live your life to the fullestC. create more valueD. stop doing many things at once第二节: 信息匹配(共5小题, 每小题2分, 满分10分)下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合的信息，请阅读下列应用文及其相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
