  A

  In Singapore, most of us love window-shopping while some others enjoy having a picnic at East Coast Park or Changi Beach on sunny days. Singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional thunderstorm. However, we know that if it rains for long continuous periods, there will be more serious effects. Just recently the main shopping street of Orchard Road was flooded and some part of Bukit Timah was impassable to traffic. People reacted by writing in to the newspaper to complain about this! We forget that other countries suffer much worse effects. Elsewhere, heavy tropical(热带的)storms often result in floods that ruin crops especially in Thailand and Malaysia. This in turn usually means that the price of rice and vegetables here in Singapore will rise because we import these products from them. If there is a typhoon or tsunami, thousands of lives are lost too. This happened in Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand in 2004 and it serves to remind us of how Mother Nature can cause great damage.

  Weather patterns in general have changed dramatically in recent years. Scientists believe that global warming and the resulting melting of the polar ice-cap has caused the level of the ocean to rise. This in turn causes flooding of low-lying areas in countries where the land is rather flat and some parts of which is below water level. It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger, so it is now important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities, for example, illegal logging(伐木)or irresponsible forest-burning to clear land for farming.

  People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word“mouth.”

  For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest(抗议)and say “Do not bad mouth me.” Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”

  If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth.

  In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.

  Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something.

  The other person might protest: “I did not say that.

  Do not put words in my mouth.”

  Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family.

  There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person, “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth.

  This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.

  Parents might sometimes keep a child off sweet food as a form of punishment for saying bad things. For example, if a child says things she should not say to her parents, she might be described as a mouthy child. The parents might even tell the child to stop mouthing off..

  But enough of all this talk. I have been running my mouth long enough.

  61. When will a person probably say“do not bad mouth me”?

  A. When he feels down.

  B. When he is regretful.

  C. When he is spoken ill of.

  D. When he gets angry.

  【答案】C

  【解析】根据第二段第一句if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest(抗议)and say “Do not bad mouth me.”“如果你说一个人的坏话,这个人可能会抗议说不要说我坏话。”

  62.What will the person say if he feels sorry for what he has said?

  A. Do not bad mouth me.

  B. Stop mouthing off.

  C. Do not put words in my mouth.

  D. I really put my foot in my mouth this time.

  【答案】D

  【解析】根据第二段Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”有时人们对家人和朋友说了一些他们后来会后悔的话因为这些话上海了那个人。。。。说话的人就会说“这次我真的说错话了。”

  How far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know? Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease? These days that’s more than an academic question, as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.

  There are now more than a thousand genetic(基因的)tests, for everything from baldness to breast cancer, and the list is growing. Question is, do you really want to know what might eventually kill you? For instance, Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’(老年痴呆症).

  “If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease, that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious, through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you. It could really mess you up.” Said Dr. Robert Green, a Harvard geneticist.

  “Every ache and pain,” Smith suggested, could be understood as “the beginning of the end.”“That ’s right. If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, then every time you can’t find your car in the parking lot, you think the disease has started.”

  Dr. Green has been thinking about this issue for years. He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s. It was thought that people who got bad news would, for lack of a better medical term, freak out. But Green and his team found that there was“no significant difference”between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives. In fact, most people think they can handle it. People who ask for the information usually can handle the information, good or bad, said Green.

  71.The first paragraph is meant to__________.

  A. ask some questions

  B. introduce the topic

  C. satisfy readers’ curiosity

  D. describe an academic fact

  【答案】B

  【解析】通过两个问题引出话题。

  72.Which of the following is true of James Watson?

  A. He is strongly in favor of the present genetic tests.

  B. He is more likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.

  C. He believes genetic mapping can help cure any disease.

  D. He doesn’t want to know his chance of getting a disease.

  【答案】D

  【解析】根据第二段Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’。“James Watson要求如果他的基因表明他有很高的老年痴呆症的可能不要告诉他。”

  73.According to Paragraphs 3 and 4, if a person is at a higher genetic risk, it is__________.

  A. advisable not to let him know

  B. impossible to hide his disease

  C. better to inform him immediately D. necessary to remove his anxiety

  【答案】A

  【解析】根据这两个自然段可知,如果你提前被告知你将来可能患某种可怕的疾病会mess you up。

  74.The underlined part“freak out”in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to“_________”.

  A. break down

  B. drop out

  C. leave off

  D. turn away

  【答案】A

  【解析】根据下文But的转折,以及no significant difference可知,freak out的意思是A(精神垮掉)。

  75.The study led by Dr. Green indicates that people__________.

  A. prefer to hear good news

  B. tend to find out the truth

  C. can accept some bad news

  D. have the right to be informed
