Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Research shows that childhood friendships are important indicators of future success and social adjustment.Children’s relationships with peers (同龄人) strongly influence their success in school，and children with fewer friends are more at risk of dropping out of school，becoming depressed and other problems.
Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Child’s Play
When 6­year­old Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday morning，her eyes immediately scanned the playground for her friend Abbie.“Though they were only separated by a weekend，the girls ran right into each other’s arms and hugged，”recalls Rachel’s mother Kathryn Willis of Gilbert.“It was like a scene from a movie.”
Most parents instinctively (本能地) know that having friends is good for their child.Experts agree that friendship is not simply child’s play，but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life.
A Skill for Life
“Childhood friendships serve as a very important training ground for adulthood，” says Dr.Robbie Adler­Tapia，psychologist with the Center for Children’s Health & Life Development at the East Valley Family Resource Center.
Researcher William Hartup states，“Peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cognitive (认知的) development.”Hartup concludes that the single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior，but rather，how well a child gets along with other children.
The work of Arizona State University professor of Developmental Psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids，so is the lack of friends detrimental.
Good Friendships Don’t Just Happen
Experts agree that it is essential for children to es tablish high­quality friendships.But，researchers warn，these friendships don’t necessarily just happen.Often，a good friendship begins with involved parents.
Psychologist Dr.Lynne Kenney Markan believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading.
Bad Company
Many parents worry about the quality as well as the quantity of their child’s friendships.“When she was in 1st grade，her supposed ‘best friend’ began calling her names and threatening to hurt her，” says Mindy Miller.“My daughter wasn’t allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class.It really crushed her spirit.I told my daughter she didn’t need a ‘friend’ like that.”
“I’ll bend over backwards to help my son get together with a friend I think is good for him，” Adler­Tapia says.“I don’t look at it as manipulation (操纵)，just positive parental involvement.”
【语篇解读】研究表明，童年时期的友谊对孩子的将来有着非常重要的意义。

21．The example of Rachel and Abbie is used to illustrate that________.
A．childhood friendship is of great significance to their growth
B．a positive friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problems C．it is a proven fact that peer friendship is the most rewarding experience
throughout life
D．Rachel missed her friend Abbie very much because of their separation of one weekend
答案 A [细节理解题。

文中六岁的Rachel与她的朋友Abbie之间的友谊例证了本部分的标题Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Child’s Play，再结合文章首句可知应选A项。

]
22．The underlined word “detrimental” could be replaced by________.
A．aggressive B．disappointing
C．ridiculous D．harmful
答案 D [词义猜测题。

根据文中的“The work of Arizona State University professor of Developmental Psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids，so is the lack of friends detrimental.”可知，“detrimental”与句中的“beneficial”相对应，因此“detrimental”与“harmful”同义。

]
23．We can learn from the passage that high­quality friendship most probably results from______.
A．social skills and good study habits
B．school grades and classroom behaviors
C．academic success and social adaptation
D．positive parental involvement and social skills
答案 D [细节理解题。

根据Good Friendships Don’t Just Happen中的“a good friendship begins with involved parents”与“kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading”可知，D项正确。

] 24．From th e last paragraph we can conclude that Dr.Robbie Adler­Tapia agrees that________.
A．parents should regard making friends as something that just happens
B．it’s wise for parents to support and encourage healthy peer relationships C．parents only need to help their children to cope with difficult social situations
D．parents are supposed to encourage their children to make as many friends as they can
答案 B [推理判断题。

根据文章的最后一句可推知，父母应该在孩子交友的问题上给予指导，避免其受到不良影响，因此选B。

B
Can people change their skin color without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson？Perhaps yes.Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color.
The gene comes in two versions，one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans.The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans，researchers at the Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.
Scientists have changed the color of a dark­striped zebrafish (斑马鱼) to gold by inserting a version of the pigment (色素) gene into a young fish.As with humans，the skin color of zebrafish is determined by pigment cells，which contain melanin (黑色素)．The number，size and darkness of melanin per pigment cell determine skin color.
It appears that，like the golden zebrafish，light­skinned Europeans also have a mutation (变异) in the gene for melanin production.This results in less pigmented skin.
However，Keith Cheng，leader of the research team，points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.
Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ult ra­violet rays of the sun，which can cause skin cancer.
But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes，they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin
D．So the related gene changes，according to Cheng.
Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans，so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin color，said Cheng.
The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer.It also could lead to research into ways to change skin color without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.
【语篇解读】这是一篇科普文。

科学家们找到了决定人类肤色的基因。

25．Scientists have done an experiment on a dark­striped zebrafish in order to________.
A．find the genes that are different from humans’
B．prove the skin color of zebrafish is determined by the pigment gene
C．find out the reason why Africans’ skin color is dark
D．find out the ways to change people’s skin color
答案 B [细节理解题。

依据文章第三段可知，科学家把一种色素基因植入斑马鱼的幼
鱼体内，将其变成了金色，从而证明了和人类一样，斑马鱼的肤色也是由色素细胞决定的，由此可知B项正确。

]
26．The passage mainly tells us that________.
A．scientists have found out the gene that determines people’s skin color B．the new discovery could lead to research into ways to change skin color safely C．pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin color as he liked
D．people cannot change their skin color without any pain
答案 A [主旨大意题。

文章讲述了科学家通过研究斑马鱼发现了决定人类肤色的基因。

首段中的“Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color.”即研究的结果，也是文章叙述的中心。

27．The reason why Europeans are light­skinned is proba bly that________.
A．they are born light­skinned people
B．light­skinned Europeans have mutation in the gene for melanin production C．they have fewer activities outside
D．they pay much attention to protecting their skin
答案 B [细节理解题。

依据文章第四段可知，像金斑马鱼一样，欧洲人的产生黑色素的基因产生了突变，使得黑色素减少，才使他们肤色变浅了。

由此可知B项正确。

] 28．The writer’s attitude towards the discovery is________.
A．neutral B．negative
C．indifferent D．positive
答案 D [推理判断题。

依据文章最后一段的首句可知，这一发现有助于攻克皮肤癌等难题，由此可知作者对这个发现持肯定的态度。
