题型：模拟题难度：来源：
Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes(基因)decide. In fact, because you have two
parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If
both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall
you"re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don"t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your
full potential (潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
No doubt (怀疑) you"re wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There"s no perfect or right
answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when
they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches
there are not nearly as important as the height you"re at now, how you"ve been growing up to this point, and
what other changes your body may be going through.
Don"t be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰)
during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or
later … between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You"ll usually begin to notice that you"re growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the
first changes of puberty.
B. 婴幼儿时期
C. 习惯养成期
D. 生长发育期
B. you can ask doctors for help
C. you should save the environment
D. You can record your growth during puberty
B. when is the time you grow fast
C. why you look like your parents
D. how you grow to a certain height
B. how much sleep time we need
C. why genes can"t decide everything
D. what healthy diet is
B. Girls" age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys".
C. The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed.
D. You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.

| What might the future be like? Here are some predictions: things to come, things to go. The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making getting travel tickets and the journey difficult. But in 28 years, Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to build more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020. And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem. Newspaper will come to an end in 2043. In the future, digital (数字的) newspapers will be sent to personal web tools through Internet. Readers can discuss topics with journalists and editors. Information will move faster. Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel (燃料). Coal, natural gas, solar power, nuclear power and even water can take the place of oil as sources of energy (能源). Schools will go electronic (电子化). Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students" library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world. There will be robot teachers, they will check homework on computers and communicate with the students" parents through e-mail. And school buses will be like spaceships, comfortable and safe. | |

| Is human blood all the same? "Yes." You may say. "It"s all red." Well, it"s not as simple as you might think. Blood is made up of different parts, such as red blood cells (红血球), white blood cells and platelets (血小板). Two chemical molecules (分子) on the red blood cells make people"s blood different. Scientists mark one molecule "A" and the other molecule "B". According to which and how many molecules are on the red cell, scientists divide blood into four types: A, B, AB and O. Your blood type will stay the same all your life. Scientists have been wondering if there are some links (联系) between people"s blood types and their personalities, but they are not certain. But some say that people with the same blood type may have things in common. What"s your blood type? Do you have family members or friends who are of the same type as you? Read the following. People with Type A: They look peaceful from the outside. But they ask too much of themselves that they may be very nervous inside. They get happy or sad easily. Sometimes they are shy but always very careful. They can easily win people"s trust. People with Type B: They have strong minds. Once they start a task, they don"t give up easily. They"ll try their best to finish it and do it well. Type B people always try to make themselves different from others. They want to do things in their own way. People with Type AB: They are maybe the strangest among all blood types. They can be both open and shy, noisy and quiet at the same time! They are responsible and always ready to help others. People with Type O: They are open and good at making friends. They always start tasks but don"t always finish them. They have lots of new ideas and love to be the centre of attention. They always strongly believe in themselves. | |

Look at the center circles of Diagram (图)A and Diagram B.  Which of the centre circles looks larger? Take a first look and you probably think that the centre circle in Diagram A is smaller than that in Diagram B. In fact , they are exactly the same size. Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see? A vase? Or two faces?  Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time. "What"s happening? Is something wrong with my eyes?" You may wonder at what you see. Don"t worry.

Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I shrunk the kids just make use of illusions. | |
