This group includes tiny bush babies, monkeys, and humans. Full-grown chimps are 4 to 5feet tall. The males weigh about 100 pounds, while the females weigh 90 pounds or less. Chimpanzees have long fingers and toes (脚趾)，and they are covered with dark fur except on their faces, which are very expressive.Chimpanzee HabitatChimpanzees live in western and central Africa. Some chimps live in thick rain forests. Others live in thinner woodland.Chimps usually walk on all four legs, but they can also walk upright. Chimps are good climbers and they can swing through trees. They usually sleep in trees at night. _Chimps live in groups, called communities，which may contain up to 80 members. Within each community are many smaller groups of friends and family members. Young chimps stay with their mothers until they are about 8 years old.Just like human beings who live and work in groups, some chips are more powerful than others. Getting a high position depends on more than size. Group leaders are usually strong-willed and clever.Chimps often “argue” over food to protect their children. Most quarrels end quickly, but sometimes chimps get hurt. Chimpanzees are powerful animals, and they will bite and kick if angry.Chimpanzees eat fruits, plants, insects, eggs, and small animals. They use small thin branches to “fish” inside insect nests for food. They use leaves to get water to drink. They also use stones to open nutshells.Chimpanzee CommunicationChimpanzees communicate with their voices. They shout loudly to show anger, fear and other emotions. They warn each other when enemies are near. Chimps also communicate with gestures and facial expressions. If a chimp holds out its hand, it is begging for food. A hug means “Hello” or “Im frightened.” Some chimps have even learned to use sign language.21. Which of the following can fill in the blank in the text? A. Chimpanzee Behavior B.

I could only blame myself. Nobodys hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadnt prepared Ray for. As parents, while we focus on our childs confidence and character, we perhaps dont always consider that we are also raising someones future roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father. I wanted to know that Id raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “Whats for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was delighted to find that he didnt say no.For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust (馅饼皮) and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven. I knew that he would rather have shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother-he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive-but it couldnt be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate more what you do as a mom,” he told me one day. www.ks5u.com Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more important, he realizes theres nothing masculine(男子气的) about being helpless. Not only can he make his own dinner, he can make it for his family, too. Thats what I call a man.D. always thought it attractive to do housework 26. The underlined part “more than just housekeeping” shows that Ray _. A. fell in love with housework B. did other work in the house C. began to be more confident D. acknowledged the authors efforts 27. What would be the best title for the text? A. Should boys be involved in housework? B. Present for future daughter-in-law C. Im proud Ive raised a curious son D. Dependent or independent?

DCancer researchers urged people on Wednesday to take more vitamin D to lower risk of cancer, saying studies showed a clear link. “Our suggestion is for people to increase their intake (吸入，摄入), through diet or a vitamin supplement,” Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview.Garland's research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the relationship between vitamin D and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 2004. “There's nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer,” he said, urging governments and public health officials to do more to fortify (增强) foods with vitamin D. Garland is part of a University of California at San Diego Moores Cancer Center team that published its findings this week online in the American Journal of Public Health. Vitamin D is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at around 100 international units（IU）a serving. “People might want to consider a vitamin supplement to raise their intake to 1000 IUs per day” Garland said, adding that it was well within the safety guidelines established by the National Academy of Sciences.The authors said that taking more vitamin D could be especially important for people living in northern areas, which receive less vitamin D from sunshine.“African Americans, who don't produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin colour, could also benefit significantly from a higher intake,” the authors said.32.

Heres how to believe in yourself.Remember that everyone struggles with confidence. Some people are good at hiding it, but nearly every person has struggled with his or her self-confidence at one point. 36 Accept compliment politely. When someone compliments you, make eye contact, smile, and say “thank you”. It shows that youre polite and have a secure sense of self-worth. If youre still uncomfortable taking compliments, try giving one back after youve accepted one. 37 38 Thats a simple and an effective psychological technique to become confident. When you are talking louder you are sending the signal that you are confident, and as you make it as a habit you will feel more confident. But dont be dominating(专横的).Look the part. Or, as the saying goes, “Fake it till you make it.” 39 Devote a little time each day to make sure youre presenting yourself well. Keep your shoulders back, walk with purpose instead of dragging your feet, and sit up straight. Smile and make eye contact. Its a small change, but it can work wonders on what other people think of you.Develop your interests. If theres a sport or hobby youve always wanted to be good at, nows the time! Improving your skills will show that you are talented, and make you confident. Learn a musical instrument or a foreign language; take up an art form like painting-whatever it is that catches your interest. 40 Remember that learning is a process, and youre in it for the small victories and the relaxing time, not to be the best ever.A. Make a list.B. Youre not alone!C. Talk a little louder. D. Stop comparing yourself with everyone else.E. Dont get discouraged if youre not immediately awesome.F. This can help you feel like the score is “even” and you havent been too prideful.G. If you know that you look like a confident person, eventually youll start to feel it, too.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。The story goes that some time ago, a man had very lovely little daughter.
