Whatever the reason is, you can soon bee totally _36_ of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather _37_ book. You soon bee interested in some _38_or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must _39_ off to keep some forgotten appointmentwithout buying a book, of course. This opportunity to _40_ the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. You can _41_ such places to your hearts content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will have an inevitable greeting, “Can I help you, sir？”You finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services _42_. Of course you may want to find out where a particular _43_ is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should _44_ carefully and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book. You have to be careful not to be _45_ by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to e out carrying one of the _46_ bestselling novels. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge _47_， you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section. (B)36. A. unknown B. unaware C. unmon D. unsuspecting(A)37.

When the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice a man, who sat in front of them, dressed in a plain, illfitting suit, never moving, his dusty face masking his age.Shortly after a snack at the Howard Johnsons outside Washington, they went back to the bus, and one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.“Were going to Florida，” she said brightly. “I hear its really beautiful.”“It is，” he said quietly, as if remembering something he had tried to forget.“Want some wine？” she said. He smiled and took a full glass. After a while, slowly and painfully, he told his story. His name was Vingo and had been in jail in New York for the past four years. Last week he was released from imprisonment and now going home.“When I was in prison I wrote to my wife，” he said. “I told her that I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldnt stand it, she could just forget me; Id understand. We used to live in Brunswick, just before Jacksonville, and theres a big oak tree just as you e into town. Last week, I wrote her again. I told her that if shed take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and Id get off and e home. If she didnt want me, forget it, no handkerchief, and Id go on through.”She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, caught up in the approach of Brunswick, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Now they were 10 miles from Brunswick, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances of joy. The oak tree was covered with yellow handkerchiefs, 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like small flags of wele flying in the wind. As the young people shouted, Vingo rose and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.(B)61. What attracted the six young people when their bus passed through New Jersey?A. The Howard Johnsons. B. A poorlydressed man.C. Golden beaches. D. A mysterious man with a mask.(D)62.

Yellow Handkerchiefs D. A Bus TripCWhen you look at yourself in the mirror, do you ever wonder why you look the way you do?No two faces look exactly alike, making a human face as unique as a fingerprint. Genetics (遗传学) obviously play a major roleno two faces share the same DNA. But even in identical twins, there are still small differences in their appearances. So what is it that makes each face different?The answer lies in a small piece of your DNA called a “gene enhancer”， according to a study published in Science. “There are thousands of enhancers in the human genome，” study leader Axel Visel, a researcher with Berkeley Lab. US. told Discovery.According to Visel, these DNA pieces act like switches, turning genes on and off and therefore determining whether a certain facial feature develops in a fetus (胎儿) while it is still in the womb (子宫)Whats interesting about gene enhancers is that they dont have to be found anywhere close to the genes they affect. They are able to control their targets from far away, which makes them even more influential.To test how powerful these special DNA pieces are in shaping the face, researchers deleted three of the gene enhancers in mice and pared them with normal mice at 8 weeks of age. The results showed that each enhancer deletion caused a distinct set of differences in the shape of the facefor example, causing an increase or decrease in facial length or width.In fact, scientists first noticed the existence of gene enhancers long ago, but they called them “junk DNA” back then because they didnt produce proteins and were thought to have no biological function. But now “its increasingly clear that important functions are embedded in this junk” Visel told New Scientist.Understanding this may help scientists learn why and how things go wrong as a fetus develops, leading to facial birth defects (缺陷) such as cleft lips. Maybe gene enhancers also play a role. (A)66. What did Visels recent study uncover? A. How gene enhancers help shape the appearance of the face. B. How gene enhancers affect the growth of the fetus.C. A new cure for facial birth defects. D. The connection between gene enhancers and genetic mutations(变异)(D)67. According to the article, gene enhancers _A. have a greater effect on genes closer to them B. used to be considered a good source of proteinC. werent discovered until recentlyD. have more biological functions than scientists used to think(C)68. What can we conclude from the article?A. As a fetus develops in the womb, the number of gene enhancers increases in the fetus.B. The changes in gene enhancers may have something to do with genetic mutations. C. The new findings about gene enhancers may help scientists learn more about facial birth defects.D. Genetic mutations are believed to be the major cause of facial birth defects.(A)69. What does the underlined “embed” probably mean?A. Root. B. Find. C. Absorb. D. Research.(B)70. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Gene Enhancers Affects Birth Defects B. Facing Gene EnhancersC. The Power of DNA piecesD. Gene Enhances Determines Your PersonalitiesPart Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
