But the connection between tomatoes and potatoes may go beyond making a good meal. Huang Sanwen and his team recently carried out a study. They found the "parents" of the potato, which showed a surprisingly close relationship between the two plants. Scientists already knew that tomatoes and potatoes were each other's closest living relatives. So, Huang and his team took a closer look at their genes（基因）. They discovered that tomato plants interbred with a potato-like plant called Etuberosum about 9 million years ago. As a result, the modem potato plant came into being, with the tomato as its "mother”' and Etuberosum as its "father". However, Huang had another question: Why did only the potato develop underground parts-tubers（块茎）,but its "parents" did not? It turned out that the mix of genes from the tomatc and Etuberosum caused the potato plant to develop tubers. The genes from the tomato controlled when tubers grew, and the genes from-Etuberosum controlled how big tubers grew. Without genes from either "parent", no tuber could develop. These findings can help scientists find ways to make the potato plant stronger and better. Tha study also shows how different plants can be unexpectedly connected."Next time you eat potatoes Huang adds,"thank a tomato." 11.Why does the author mention "tomatoes and French fries"?

They might not have hcard of the "mere exposure effect"（单纯曝光效应）-the more one is exposed to something, the easier it is for him or her to like it. There are two main explanations for the effect. The first is certainty. Our minds naturally learn to be careful around new things that could possibly harm us. If we see something repeatedly without bad results, we are led to believe it is safe. The second is perceptual fluency（知觉流畅性）.We naturally prefer simple things that require little thought. Tasks like understanding something new take lots of attention and time, so we try to avoid them. Robert Zajonc, discoverer of the effect, tested how a group of people reacted to a set of disordered shapes. The shapes changed so quickly that it was impossible to notice that some were repeated. When the people were asked which shapes they liked most, they chose those that they had seen the most often, even though they were not aware of that. According to the effect, it takes about 15 repetitions for a person to develop maximum（最大限度）preference for a product. However, the effect does not work on everyone in the same way.If the exposure is too often, people get annoyed. Also, when people don't like a product at first,repetition can make them dislike it more. Now tell me what you think about ads. If mere exposure can create preferences that we are not aware of, should we be alarmed or forbid all the ads? Perhaps the point is not whether to forbid ads but how to help ourselves understand the influence of ads and make smarter choices. 21.According to paragraph 2, why do people prefer repeated things? A.Because they usually bring good results. B. Because they help people understand better. C. Because they seem safer and need less effort. D. Because people enjoy thinking hard about them. 22. In Zajonc's study, what caused people's preference for certain shapes? A.Personal tastes in art and beauty. B.People's first sight of the shapes. C. The order in which the shapes appeared. D.The number of times people saw the shapes. 23. According to the passage, which of the charts best shows the mere exposure effect? A. B. C. D. 24.What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To attack the advertising industry. B. To introduce a new research topic. C. To advise the government to forbid ads. D. To call for awareness of the effect of ads. 25.In which part of a magazine can you find this article? A.Stories. B.Science. C.Business. D.Education. 第二节 阅读下面短文，并从方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。（共5小题，每小题2分） A. It's important not to go to the same place to train. B. Running too often can be really hard on your body. C.This may increase your chances of running success. D. You don't need expensive sportswear to take up running. E.If you don't feel well, you need to stop and treat the pain. F.You can reduce that risk by starting a training program slowly. Running is a great way to get in shape and just about everyone can do it. However, new runners often make a number of common mistakes,which may have bad effects on their training or even the body. If you're just starting out, avoid doing these things. 26 Doing too much too soon One of the biggest mistakes new runners make is doing too much too soon. This may cause you to get hurt and force you to take time off. 27 The key is to increase your distance step by step. Not taling rest days Beginners might think they need to run every day to meet their fitness or weight-loss goals.However, this couldn't be further from the truth. 28 So it's important to give your body a rest. Not wearing the right equipment（装备） 29 However, it's important that you dress properly. The most important piece of equipment is a good pair of running shoes. So do some research before you visit a shoe store and be sure to find a suitable pair. Running through pain Running can be uncomfortable at times. 30 Remember: It doesn't make you less of a runner if you listen to your body to keep it healthy. 第三节 信息匹配（共5小题，每小题1.5分） 下面的材料A~F分别是六门校本课程的宣传，请根据五位学生的需求选出最适合他们的课程。 A.First Aid Training What do you know about the things in the survival tool box?

Horses play an important role in both Western and Chinese art but they 36 (show) in very different ways. In the West, the horse is 37 (close) connected to a hero or a ruler. A good example is Jacques-Louis David's famous painting "Napoleon Crossing the Alps". 38 reality, Napoleon crossed the mountains on a mule（骡子）,yet the painting places him on a strong, standing horse like a true ruler. Here, the horse becomes a part of the man and it 39 (serve) as a symbol of his victory and power. Chinese art takes a very different method. "The Tang Dynasty's Stone Reliefs of the Six Steeds*（唐昭陵六骏石刻）, 40 (honour) Emperor Taizong's war horses，tell another story. The emperor 41 (he) docs not appear on any of the horses. Instead, the animals stand either alone 42 beside a general. In one 43 (touch) piece of the Reliefs, a general gently takes out an arrow（箭）from a horse that is badly hurt and the horse shows no fear but trust. 44 artwork was made in praise of the deep connection between men and horses. In short, while Western art uses the horse to stress the importance of a ruler, Chinese art uses it to express trust, support, and 45 (brave).
