The colors of the season, and the smells, have always thrilled me. I have always found joy in this time of year. The last few autumns of my l
22、ife, however, I recollect in shades of gray rather than cheerful oranges and yellows.When I became a single mother, every aspect of life took on new meaning. Since I was used to carrying out most of the parental duties without much help during my marriage, I truly did not foresee how different paren
23、ting would become after the marriage was over. But suddenly I realized I was a statistic. The daily routine was not changed so much; it was the angle at which I had begun to look at life.I believed my ex-husbands lawyer was tracking every grade the children made, and I was under a microscope in this
24、 new town where the children and I moved our “broken home.“ I feared having to eventually establish my family with each new teacher and each new term as a single-parent family. I just wanted to be us again, without the stigma (特征)of the label that put on us.During those few gray years, I would reass
25、ure myself that soon things would be better, and that I would someday be able to feel whole again. There is no mathematical equation of adults proportioned to children to equal a stable, loving family. Every family has its strengths. In fact, studies show that in families who read together, eat toge
26、ther and communicate openly, children are likely to succeed academically, as well as socially and emotionally. I am sure these, habits are just as effective when practiced in single-parent families. I realize now that I am not a statistic. We are an active, vital family in this charming community, w
27、here we are not marked by any stigma of any statistics of any focus groups.We are given opportunity, all of us. We are surrounded by beauty and immersed in possibility. There is joy to be found here, in what we see around us and in creating our own rendition of how we want to be seen. There is stren
28、gth and grace in our own willingness to break free from conformity without falling behind the barriers of self-imposed limitations or preconceived notions of where we should fit in this world according to research.（分数：6.00）(1).What does the last sentence of paragraph one imply?（分数：1.00）A.The author

32、s“ may possibly refers to（分数：1.00）A.a complete family would have a happier lifeB.a single mother would carry out the parental duties more successfullyC.a single parent family is marked by stigmas and different from those complete families in every aspect of lifeD.a complete family would bring up bri
33、ghter children(6).What is the authors main point?（分数：1.00）A.Every family has its happiness and unhappiness.B.Her family has suffered a lot.C.Her ex-husband is not a good man.D.Every family has its strength and can create its happiness.十、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Ask why most people are right-handed,
34、 and the answer might fall along the same lines as why fish school(鱼成群地游). Two neuroscientists suggest that social pressures drive individuals to coordinate their behaviors so that everyone in the group gets an evolutionary edge.Approximately 85 percent of people prefer their right hand, which is co
35、ntrolled by the left hemisphere of the brain. One theorized benefit of locating a particular function in one hemisphere is that it frees the other to deal with different tasks. But that idea does not explain why. population-wide trends for handedness exist in the first place.Moreover, evidence glean
36、ed in recent years has overturned the long-held belief that human handedness is a unique by-product of brain specialization attributable to language. A suite of studies has revealed brain lateralization in species from fish to primates(灵长类). Last August, for instance, scientists discovered that in t
37、he wild, chimpanzees show hand preferences.The presence of lateralization throughout the animal kingdom suggests some benefit from it, contend neuroscientists Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste and Lesley Rogers of the University of New England in Australia. Also, last August, in the
38、journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences, the two presented evidence to support their idea that social constraints force individuals toward asymmetry in the same direction. They noted, for example, that baby chickens attack more readily when a threat appears on their left. And Rogers has found that chi
39、cks with more asymmetrical brains form more stable social groups: perhaps by approaching each other on the right, she hypothesizes, the chicks fight one another less and are more likely to notice predators.Lateralization seems to confer an advantage for some fish as well. In certain species, the maj
40、ority tend to swim left when a predator attacks, whereas other species head right. The potential benefits of such patterns may not seem intuitive: a predator could learn that attacking a fish on one particular side is more effective. But Vallortigara and Rogerss idea fits with the conventional expla
41、nation of why fish school at all. When threatened, fish turning in the same direction have a greater chance of survival than if they scatter to become a darting swarm of head-butting fish.Nevertheless, the bird and fish. data do not explain human handedness.“The issue then becomes: maybe this latera
42、lization long predates the rise of the mammals,“ speculates Robin Dunbar ,an evolutionary psychologist at the University of Liverpool in England.（分数：6.00）(1).Fish school suggests that _.（分数：1.00）A.it was a necessary evolutionary processB.it has something to do with human right-handednessC.they need
43、to coordinate with other fishD.their brain function is unique(2).Locating a particular function in one hemisphere _.（分数：1.00）A.does not explain why handedness is such an overwhelming trendB.does not explain why 85%people are right-handedC.shows that human handedness is a unique by product of brainD.
44、enable people to think with the other hemisphere(3).What are the second finding of Giorgio Vallortigara and Lesley Rogers?（分数：1.00）A.Lateralization of animals.B.The human handedness and animal lateralization present common features.C.animal species suffer from lateralization.D.social conditions led
45、to the lateralization of animal species.(4).Due to _, human handedness is not a exclusive phenomenon in animal world.（分数：1.00）A.brain lateralization found in species from fish to primatesB.different brain structures of speciesC.brain specialization attributable to languageD.the asymmetrical brains o
46、f Chimpanzees(5).Why are baby chickens so prepared in fighting against enemies from left?（分数：1.00）A.Because other members stand on the right side.B.Due to surrounding conditions their brain developed toward asymmetry in the same direction.C.Because enemies always attack from left side.D.Because they
47、 can spare more attention to locate predator.(6).What can be the best title for this passage?（分数：1.00）A.Hand Preference of Chimpanzees.B.Human Handedness and Animal Lateralization.C.The Myth behind Human Handedness.D.An Unique Animal Behavior.十一、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Friction between Americas
48、military and its civilian overseers is nothing new. Americas 220-year experiment in civilian control of the military is a recipe for friction. The nations history has seen a series of shifts in decision-making power among the White House, the civilian secretaries and the uniformed elite (精英). Howeve
49、r, what may seem on the outside an unstable and special system of power sharing has, without a doubt, been a key to two centuries of military success.In the infighting dates to the revolution, George Washington waged a continual struggle not just for money, but to control the actual battle plan. The framers of the Constitution sought to clarify things by making the president the “commander in chief.“ Not since Washington wore his uniform and led the troop
