I was also heavily bullied before this day by most of my classmates. They would insult kick, and push me down the stairs. Teachers did nothing as the other kids were “paying customers” but I was not. I didn’t want to involve my mother because she was going through a nasty divorce, and I wanted to protect her from more stress.
Then, this day came. These two kids were infamous(臭名昭著)for bullying anything that moved. Younger kids, mostly, as they were cowards. They had never bothered me before that day but had beaten several of my friends and classmates. But one day, as they started bothering my friends and me, I told them to go away. Their eyes lit up as they approached to beat me, and then they made a foolish mistake: they insulted my mother.
I just jumped on them, and it wasn’t pretty though. At some point, I got my ribs bruised by knee kicks by one of them while the other held me. I couldn’t breathe. However, they ended up worse. One had a broken nose and a black eye and was all scratched up with deep scratches. The other had three broken finger. I also trapped his head on my arm and punched him in the head hard that I had bruises on my hands, but he had a big black bruise on the side of his head for a week. I also remember kicking one in the stomach when they were on the floor until two teachers arrived and held me.
Because they had started it, I got no punishment or detention. Teachers were mostly shocked. I think the two boys were also quite embarrassed that a 10-year-old girl had won so they didn’t want to bring too much attention to the fact. But it was too late, dozens of students had seen it(none of which had been willing to defend a younger student from two bullies). The word got around the school. From that moment on, these two did not bother a single soul and kept a very low profile, and they would walk away the moment they saw me.
The best part was that because those two had beaten most of my bullies, my bullies were scared of me, and I was never picked on again. It also taught me that bullying is wrong, but defending yourself is good. I want to clarify that I am not proud to have put two kids in the hospital. What I did was uncontrolled and a bit of an overkill, but it was an unplanned reaction. I am, however, proud to have been the first and only to stand up to these two older boys.

5. Which kind of girl is the author according to the passage?

A. Most students and teachers disagreed with the author.
B. The two bullies were sympathized with by the school.
C. The struggles of the author were totally nothing but in vain.

Mamianqun, or horse-faced skirt, is a traditional Chinese fashion that has exploded in popularity in recent years, thanking in large part to a clothing production base called Cao County in Shandong province. What is the history behind Mamianqun, and how did it become a trending fashion? Let’s get into the world of Mamianqun and explore!
The skirt originated from Song Dynasty but gained popularity among women during the later Ming and Qing dynasties. However, in formal settings like the lunar Lantern Festival, men also wore the skirt. No matter who wears the skirt, it features a broad waistband that can be tied snugly at the waist flaring out into an A or H shape, smooth in the front and pleated (褶皱) at the sides and back.
It literally translates to horse-faced skirt. But, there may be no real horse face on it. The pleats and panels attached on it look like ancient defense turrets (炮塔) which are called Mamian for they protrude from walls like horses sticking out their heads. So, next time, don’t get surprised when no horse face is on the horse-faced skirt!
The Mamianqun now isn’t just for historical reenactments (重演), but for making a brand new comeback in numerous aspects. It becomes a kind of versatile garment perfectly suited for everyday wear even in a contemporary office setting. Its design makes it ideal for mix-and-match daily dressing, seamlessly integrating tradition with modernity and proving that it’s not just a relic of the past but a functional and stylish addiction to modern wardrobes. People are wearing them in the streets, in the offices. Social media influencers are all over it, showing us how to adapt age-old styles for today’s fashion.
This resurgence is fueled by a growing sense of cultural pride. Take the intricate, abundant and distinctive pleats which truly set the Mamianqun apart as an example. Designers draw inspirations from traditional Chinese cultural elements to create captivating patterns on the skirts. For instance, The Four Gentlemen Pattern represents traditional Chinese cultural symbols of plum (梅), orchid (兰), bamboo, and chrysanthemum (菊).
While it’s extraordinary to witness the resurgence of Mamianqun in modern times, it’s essential to understand the artisans behind these stunning creations......
8. Which of the statement below is correct according to the text?
A. Mamianqun went viral initially in the Song Dynasty.
B. Mamianqun leads the trend of fashion in modern Chinese society.
C. Mamianqun was designed only for the female in ancient China.
D. Mamianqun has the totally same features as it was in the past.
9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. skirt origination B. intricate pleats
C. ethnic patterns D. name sources
10. Which element below promotes the resurgence of Mamianqun most?
A. cultural pride B. numerous functions
C excellent designers D. supportive lovers
11 What may the author write in the ellipsis (省略号部分) in the last paragraph?
A. The patterns that are likely to appear on the skirts.
B. The path that promotes the resurgence of Mamianqun in China today.
C. The craftsmen that make Cao County a clothing production base.
D. The extraordinary craft that has the skirt gone viral recently.
D
Our tale begins two decades ago, when a group of Dutch women set out to find an explanation for the antisocial behavior of the males in their family. As well as having learning difficulties, these men and boys were likely to out bursts of aggression and were racking up a list of serious offenses, including murder. Suspecting that the behavior might be hereditary (遗传性的), the women approached geneticist Hans Brunner at the University Hospital in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Eventually, in 1993, he tracked down the crime: a dead variant of a gene called monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), located on the X chromosome (染色体).
Understandably, the announcement created a sensation. It was the first time a gene had been linked to human aggression and MAOA seemed to be responsible for a history of violence stretching back five generations.
In the following years, evidence poured in to support the connection between MAOA and aggression. Then, in 2004, journalist Ann Gibbons sealed the link by giving MAOA the headline-friendly label “warrior gene”. The nickname stuck, raising the profile of MAOA, and at the same time making misconceptions about how our behavior is affected by our genetic make-up.
Explaining the interaction between genes and behavior is one of the toughest tasks in biology. The publication of the entire human genetic code, a decade ago, dispelled any illusion that having the genetic blueprint of our species would give a clear insight into our nature. Instead, what became apparent is that we have far fewer genes than anyone imagined, and that understanding how these shape us as individuals is going to be a huge task.
Genes simply make proteins. So for behavioral geneticists the question is how, when and why they influence our behavior. Clearly, this involves a complex tango (探戈舞) between genes and environments. Working out the exact steps is very difficult, and conveying the findings to those without a scientific background is just as problematic.
12. What’s the main purpose of Hans Brunner’s study?
A. To help a group of Dutch women improve their rights.
B. To prove men are more aggressive than women.
C. To find the reasons for aggressive behavior.
D. To prove how important monoamine oxidase A is.
13. Why is the publication of the entire human genetic code important according to the text?
A. It proved a genetic blueprint would give a clear insight into our nature.
B. It proved the complex interaction between genes and behavior.
C. It showed we needed further research on how genes shaped us as individuals.
D It showed we actually have more genes than we imagined before.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. It’s difficult to find rough interplay between genes and behavior.
B. Studying the relationship between genes and the environment is like dancing the tango.
C. Everyone is responsible for discovering the principle on the interaction of genes and behavior.
D. Scientists have a long way to go before the public can understand the findings.
15. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Behavioral Geneticists: Discovering the MAOA Gene’s Impact on Aggression
B. From Warrior Genes To Behavioral Mysteries: A Dutch Study Sparks Thoughts
C. Genes and Environment: The Story of the MAOA Gene
D. Decoding Aggression: The Role of the MAOA Gene in Human Behavior

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was watching some little kids play soccer. These kids were only five or six years old, playing a real game-a serious game. I didn’t know any of them, so I was able to enjoy the game without the distraction of being anxious about winning or losing. I wished the parents and coaches could have done the same.
The teams were pretty evenly matched. I will just call them Team One and Team Two. Nobody scored in the first period. The kids were hilarious, clumsy (笨拙的) and terribly inefficient. They fell over their own feet, stumbled over the ball, kicked at the ball and missed it, but they didn’t seem to care. They were having fun.
In the second quarter, the Team One coach pulled out what must have been his first team and put in the scrubs (灌木), except for his best player who now guarded the goal. Team Two swarmed around the little guy who was now the Team One goalie. He was an outstanding athlete, but he was no match for three or four who were also very good. Team Two began to score. The Team One goalie gave it everything he had, recklessly (鲁莽地) throwing his body in front of incoming balls, trying valiantly to stop them.
Team Two scored two goals in quick succession. It infuriated (激怒) the young boy. He became a raging maniac-shouting, running, diving. With all the stamina he could muster, he covered the boy who now had the ball, but that boy kicked it to another boy twenty feet away, and by the time he repositioned himself, it was too late-Team Two scored a third goal.
I soon learned who the goalie’s parents were. They were nice, neat-looking people. I could tell that his dad had just come from the office-he still had his suit and tie on. They yelled encouragement to their son. I became totally absorbed, watching the boy on the field and his parents on the sidelines.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After the third goal, the little kid changed.

I was also heavily bullied before this day by most of my classmates. They would insult kick, and push me down the stairs. Teachers did nothing as the other kids were “paying customers” but I was not. I didn’t want to involve my mother because she was going through a nasty divorce, and I wanted to protect her from more stress.
Then, this day came. These two kids were infamous(臭名昭著)for bullying anything that moved. Younger kids, mostly, as they were cowards. They had never bothered me before that day but had beaten several of my friends and classmates. But one day, as they started bothering my friends and me, I told them to go away. Their eyes lit up as they approached to beat me, and then they made a foolish mistake: they insulted my mother.
I just jumped on them, and it wasn’t pretty though. At some point, I got my ribs bruised by knee kicks by one of them while the other held me. I couldn’t breathe. However, they ended up worse. One had a broken nose and a black eye and was all scratched up with deep scratches. The other had three broken finger. I also trapped his head on my arm and punched him in the head hard that I had bruises on my hands, but he had a big black bruise on the side of his head for a week. I also remember kicking one in the stomach when they were on the floor until two teachers arrived and held me.
Because they had started it, I got no punishment or detention. Teachers were mostly shocked. I think the two boys were also quite embarrassed that a 10-year-old girl had won so they didn’t want to bring too much attention to the fact. But it was too late, dozens of students had seen it(none of which had been willing to defend a younger student from two bullies). The word got around the school. From that moment on, these two did not bother a single soul and kept a very low profile, and they would walk away the moment they saw me.
The best part was that because those two had beaten most of my bullies, my bullies were scared of me, and I was never picked on again. It also taught me that bullying is wrong, but defending yourself is good. I want to clarify that I am not proud to have put two kids in the hospital. What I did was uncontrolled and a bit of an overkill, but it was an unplanned reaction. I am, however, proud to have been the first and only to stand up to these two older boys.
4. Why did the author refuse to fight back at first?
A. Because she was not strong enough to fight back.
B. Because she didn’t want to let her mother upset.
C. Because she was afraid of being lectured by teachers.
D. Because she didn’t treat the bullies seriously enough.
5. Which kind of girl is the author according to the passage?
A. Aggressive but Stubborn. B. Caring and Dignified.
C. Weak and Selfish. D. Ambitious and Smart.
6. What did the underlined sentence in the paragraph 4 imply?
A. Most students and teachers disagreed with the author.
B. The two bullies were sympathized with by the school.
C. The struggles of the author were totally nothing but in vain.
D. Many students and teachers knew the author’s fighting back.
7. What message does this article mainly convey?

Mamianqun, or horse-faced skirt, is a traditional Chinese fashion that has exploded in popularity in recent years, thanking in large part to a clothing production base called Cao County in Shandong province. What is the history behind Mamianqun, and how did it become a trending fashion? Let’s get into the world of Mamianqun and explore!
The skirt originated from Song Dynasty but gained popularity among women during the later Ming and Qing dynasties. However, in formal settings like the lunar Lantern Festival, men also wore the skirt. No matter who wears the skirt, it features a broad waistband that can be tied snugly at the waist flaring out into an A or H shape, smooth in the front and pleated (褶皱) at the sides and back.
It literally translates to horse-faced skirt. But, there may be no real horse face on it. The pleats and panels attached on it look like ancient defense turrets (炮塔) which are called Mamian for they protrude from walls like horses sticking out their heads. So, next time, don’t get surprised when no horse face is on the horse-faced skirt!
The Mamianqun now isn’t just for historical reenactments (重演), but for making a brand new comeback in numerous aspects. It becomes a kind of versatile garment perfectly suited for everyday wear even in a contemporary office setting. Its design makes it ideal for mix-and-match daily dressing, seamlessly integrating tradition with modernity and proving that it’s not just a relic of the past but a functional and stylish addiction to modern wardrobes. People are wearing them in the streets, in the offices. Social media influencers are all over it, showing us how to adapt age-old styles for today’s fashion.
This resurgence is fueled by a growing sense of cultural pride. Take the intricate, abundant and distinctive pleats which truly set the Mamianqun apart as an example. Designers draw inspirations from traditional Chinese cultural elements to create captivating patterns on the skirts. For instance, The Four Gentlemen Pattern represents traditional Chinese cultural symbols of plum (梅), orchid (兰), bamboo, and chrysanthemum (菊).
While it’s extraordinary to witness the resurgence of Mamianqun in modern times, it’s essential to understand the artisans behind these stunning creations......
8. Which of the statement below is correct according to the text?
A. Mamianqun went viral initially in the Song Dynasty.
B. Mamianqun leads the trend of fashion in modern Chinese society.
C. Mamianqun was designed only for the female in ancient China.
D. Mamianqun has the totally same features as it was in the past.
9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. skirt origination B. intricate pleats
C. ethnic patterns D. name sources
10. Which element below promotes the resurgence of Mamianqun most?
A. cultural pride B. numerous functions
C. excellent designers D. supportive lovers
11. What may the author write in the ellipsis (省略号部分) in the last paragraph?
A. The patterns that are likely to appear on the skirts.
B. The path that promotes the resurgence of Mamianqun in China today.
C. The craftsmen that make Cao County a clothing production base.
D. The extraordinary craft that has the skirt gone viral recently.

Our tale begins two decades ago, when a group of Dutch women set out to find an explanation for the antisocial behavior of the males in their family. As well as having learning difficulties, these men and boys were likely to out bursts of aggression and were racking up a list of serious offenses, including murder. Suspecting that the behavior might be hereditary (遗传性的), the women approached geneticist Hans Brunner at the University Hospital in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Eventually, in 1993, he tracked down the crime: a dead variant of a gene called monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), located on the X chromosome (染色体).
Understandably, the announcement created a sensation. It was the first time a gene had been linked to human aggression and MAOA seemed to be responsible for a history of violence stretching back five generations.
In the following years, evidence poured in to support the connection between MAOA and aggression. Then, in 2004, journalist Ann Gibbons sealed the link by giving MAOA the headline-friendly label “warrior gene”. The nickname stuck, raising the profile of MAOA, and at the same time making misconceptions about how our behavior is affected by our genetic make-up.
Explaining the interaction between genes and behavior is one of the toughest tasks in biology. The publication of the entire human genetic code, a decade ago, dispelled any illusion that having the genetic blueprint of our species would give a clear insight into our nature. Instead, what became apparent is that we have far fewer genes than anyone imagined, and that understanding how these shape us as individuals is going to be a huge task.
Genes simply make proteins. So for behavioral geneticists the question is how, when and why they influence our behavior. Clearly, this involves a complex tango (探戈舞) between genes and environments. Working out the exact steps is very difficult, and conveying the findings to those without a scientific background is just as problematic.
12. What’s the main purpose of Hans Brunner’s study?
A. To help a group of Dutch women improve their rights.
B. To prove men are more aggressive than women.
C. To find the reasons for aggressive behavior.
D. To prove how important monoamine oxidase A is.
13. Why is the publication of the entire human genetic code important according to the text?
A. It proved a genetic blueprint would give a clear insight into our nature.
B. It proved the complex interaction between genes and behavior.
C. It showed we needed further research on how genes shaped us as individuals.
D. It showed we actually have more genes than we imagined before.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. It’s difficult to find rough interplay between genes and behavior.
B. Studying the relationship between genes and the environment is like dancing the tango.
C. Everyone is responsible for discovering the principle on the interaction of genes and behavior.
D. Scientists have a long way to go before the public can understand the findings.
15. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Behavioral Geneticists: Discovering the MAOA Gene’s Impact on Aggression
B. From Warrior Genes To Behavioral Mysteries: A Dutch Study Sparks Thoughts
C. Genes and Environment: The Story of the MAOA Gene
D. Decoding Aggression: The Role of the MAOA Gene in Human Behavior
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了荷兰科学家Hans Brunner通过研究发现MAOA基因与人类攻击行为之间的联系,并探讨了基因与行为之间复杂的相互作用。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was watching some little kids play soccer. These kids were only five or six years old, playing a real game-a serious game. I didn’t know any of them, so I was able to enjoy the game without the distraction of being anxious about winning or losing. I wished the parents and coaches could have done the same.
The teams were pretty evenly matched. I will just call them Team One and Team Two. Nobody scored in the first period. The kids were hilarious, clumsy (笨拙的) and terribly inefficient. They fell over their own feet, stumbled over the ball, kicked at the ball and missed it, but they didn’t seem to care. They were having fun.
In the second quarter, the Team One coach pulled out what must have been his first team and put in the scrubs (灌木), except for his best player who now guarded the goal. Team Two swarmed around the little guy who was now the Team One goalie. He was an outstanding athlete, but he was no match for three or four who were also very good. Team Two began to score. The Team One goalie gave it everything he had, recklessly (鲁莽地) throwing his body in front of incoming balls, trying valiantly to stop them.
Team Two scored two goals in quick succession. It infuriated (激怒) the young boy. He became a raging maniac-shouting, running, diving. With all the stamina he could muster, he covered the boy who now had the ball, but that boy kicked it to another boy twenty feet away, and by the time he repositioned himself, it was too late-Team Two scored a third goal.
I soon learned who the goalie’s parents were. They were nice, neat-looking people. I could tell that his dad had just come from the office-he still had his suit and tie on. They yelled encouragement to their son. I became totally absorbed, watching the boy on the field and his parents on the sidelines.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After the third goal, the little kid changed.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the boy fell down on the ground, I saw the father start onto the field.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
After the third goal, the little kid changed. He could see it was no use. He stood there, hands on his hips, with an expression of utter defeat on his face. His shoulders slumped, and he looked over at his parents on the sidelines. His father gave him a thumbs-up and shouted, “Keep going, son! You’re doing great!” But the boy’s spirit was broken. He got the ball from the net and handed it to the coach, then he just stood there while huge tears rolled down his cheeks. He went to his knees and put his fists to his eyes, crying helplessly.
When the boy fell down on the ground, I saw the father start onto the field. His suit jacket flapping behind him, he rushed towards his son with a mix of concern and pride. Reaching the boy, he knelt down, offering a gentle hand to help him up. Instead of scolding or pressuring, he whispered words of encouragement, his voice filled with love and understanding. The boy nodded, wiping away a tear, and stood up straighter, his gaze once again fixed on the game. The father’s presence seemed to infuse the boy with a newfound strength, and he returned to the field with a renewed sense of purpose, his parents’ cheers echoing in his ears, driving him forward.
