1、高等院校英语入学分级测试二级分类模拟题 18 及答案解析(总分:100.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Fast Reading(总题数:1,分数:10.00)Five Strange New Facts about Twins“The fascination with twins is as old as time,“ says Susan Kohl in her book Twin Stories. “Twins share a strong and powerful bond that neither time nor distance seems to shake.“ Because
2、of their unique relationship, twins are often the focus of research. Here“s a look at five recent studies that shine new light on these linked individuals, and what they can teach the rest of us. 1. Mothers of twins live longer Twins have been greeted as everything from an unwanted burden to “a sign
3、 of their father“s superior virility,“ says The Economist. But a new study from the University of Utah shows that twins “have more to do with their mother“s sturdy constitution than their father“s sexual power.“ Looking at the birth records for 59,000 women between 1800 and 1970, researchers found t
4、hat women who give birth to twins live longer, have healthier kids, and “ appear to be healthier“ themselves, says lead author Ken R. Smith. That“s probably because sturdier women have twins, not because having twins is good for you, the study notes. 2. But they get divorced more often It seems that
5、 twins can help unravel a marriage, say Dr. Anupam Jena and his colleagues at Boston“s Massachusetts General Hospital. When a couple“s only children are twins, parents are only about 1 percent more likely to get divorced than parents of singletons(单生子女). But add in more kids(or less income) , and th
6、e risk of divorce shoots up. The reason isprobably the added stress, both financial and emotional. 3. Twin fetuses(双胎儿) start playing at 14 weeks Examining 3D ultrasound images of five pairs of in-utero twins, a team at the University of Padova, Italy, found that fetuses started deliberately interac
7、ting at 14 weeks, reaching out and touching each other through the uterine wall. By 18 weeks, they spent more time stroking each other than themselves, and were equally careful when touching their co-twin“s sensitive eye areas. The results are “astonishing,“ says Jean-Philippe Riviere at Doctissimo.
8、 At 14 weeks, “they were already socializing with their sibling in the womb.“ 4. If you separate identical twins, they still end up similar Surveying decades of twin research, George Mason University economist Bryan Caplan found the “most prominent conclusion“ to be that “practically everything heal
9、th, intelligence, happiness, success, personality, values, interestsis partly genetic.“ We may latch on to the parenting-centric ideas of “Tiger Morn“ Amy Chua, says Helen Rumbelow in The Australian. But the dozens of rigorous studies on separated-at-birth twins is much more persuasive than “ Chua“s
10、 sample of one“: As adults, even separated twins are “very similar on almost every count.“ 5. But identical twins can get sick very differently In 1983, two identical twin infant boys were given a blood transfusion contaminated by HIV; decades later, one has an almost-normal immune system while the
11、other is faring much worse. Brigham Young University researchers recently tried to explain the different reactions. What they found, says Amanda Carpenter at Virology, is that once identical twins leave the womb and are “ exposed to different pathogens (病原体), bacteria, and microbes(微生物),“ their immu
12、ne systems are not identical at all.(分数:10.00)(1).According to a new study from the University of Utah ,which of the following is not true?(分数:2.00)A.The birth of twins is a sign of their father“s superior virility.B.The birth of twins has more to do with their mother“s sturdy constitution.C.The bir

16、w. In some way, a (an) 1 interview is like a persuasive speech. In an interview, the applicant seeks to 2 the employer to employ him or her. An applicant should make sure he knows certain information 3 to the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that job 4 to
17、 his career objectives. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible 5 the company. After 6 information about the company, the applicant is ready for the interview. The interviewer“s first 7 comes from the interviewee“s appearance. For both men and women, they should wear proper
18、 clothes and have neat, conservative length of hair. Although hairstyles and dresses are matters of personal 8 , many personnel directors form their initial impressions from these things. For example, one college 9 with long hair and casual clothes interviewed for a public relations job, His educati

That was because a professor 1 me to do so. She said, “Now is the time for you to travel around the world, 2 your knowledge through actual ex
21、periences and have fun!“ I 3 her. Since I started to work for a 4 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 5 of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business 6 , too. With the help of the Internet, I have als

He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the 9 around
23、us at the same time. So why don“t you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian 10 ?“ Those words reminded me of my 11 advice. As information technology 12 , you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various 13 you can get from traveling. Today
