阅读理解。    In the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted according to the
time of the year the person was born. From China comes the belief that the year of birth
influences one"s personality. In the past century, a new belief has arisen: the idea that
personality is related to one"s ABO blood type. People with blood type A, for example, are
considered more likely to be serious, hard-working, and quiet, while people with blood
type O are likely to be popular and outgoing, yet often unable to finish what they start.
Though this belief continues to be strong, some people question whether it is true.
    The blood-type personality theory (理论) started in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa
Takehji noticed personality similarities and differences among his workers. The idea soon
went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshitaka
Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is increasingly popular in
neighboring countries. Some young Koreans have taken to the theory. A recent study
showed 76 percent of Koreans aged between13 and 64 believing in the blood-type personality
connection. Though most Asians might believe in the blood-type theory, for many it seems
harmless and not something to be taken too seriously.
    Is the belief true? The scientists in Asia largely dismiss the belief as a modern-day
superstition (迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood
and personality. Generally, scientists warn against making predictions or important
decisions based on this questionable theory. 1. The writer uses blood type A and O as an example to explain ______. [     ]
A. the difference between two blood types
B. the relationship between the two blood types
C. the influence of blood type on one"s behavior
D. the connection between personality and blood type 2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? [     ]
A. It was lightly believed.
B. It was brought to them.
C. They liked and accepted it.
D. They stole the idea from others. 3. Which of the following is true according to the passage? [     ]
A. Most scientists in Asia don"t believe in the theory.
B. The blood-type theory began in Japan in the 1970s.
C. The blood-type personality theory is about blood type.
D. People don"t change their personality to match the theory. 4. What is the best title for the passage? [     ]
A. Is the blood-type theory poplar?
B. Is the personality changeable?
C. Is it in your blood?
D. Is it in you mind?

阅读理解。    All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most
animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the
same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each
kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain.
Some food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears.
    All life need sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are
"factories". They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air. Plants feed
all other living things. Animals can only use the sun"s energy after it has been changed into
food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating
animals are only eating plants directly.
    What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice,
vegetables. fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink mild. But men often break up the
food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. When these
rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them can not be eaten. If men eat the fish, they
will get diseases.
    Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking the lines puts all life in danger. 1. How does every living thing on the earth live? [     ]
A. Each plant can live alone.
B. Each animal can live alone.
C. If living things want to live, they must kill each other.
D. Every living thing on the earth cannot live without others. 2. Which living things can use the sun"s energy directly? [     ]
A. Animals.
B. Plants.
C. Both A and
B. D.All living things. 3. What do plants make food from? 
   They make food from _____. [     ]
A. sunlight, water and things in the soil and air

D. water, sunlight and things in the soil 4. Who often break up the food chain? [     ]
