三、阅读理解(共25小题,计25分)
阅读短文,完成31—45小题。
A
Are you happy most of the time? Or do you easily get angry sometimes? Everyone has a different temperament (脾气) . It is usually believed that both genes (基因) and environment may influence people’s temperament in different ways. Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role.
Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the
15
students needed to finish some questions to know which of four kinds of temperament they most had. From the questions , scientists found that the students always answered something like “my mood often changes for no reason” and “I love to deal with new projects , even if it is risky(冒险的).” These answers were then connected with their birthdays.
They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive(正面的) are mostly born in spring and summer.
The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood of depression which may easily make them cry, while those in winter were not easier to be angry.
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people’s moods even in adult life. “It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your change of developing certain mood disorders” scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.
根据短文内容,判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示,不正确的用“B”表示。
31. Ages probably may influence people’s temperaments according to the Paragraph 1.
32. The underlined the word “depression” most probably means sadness.
33. The answers to the questions of the study were matched with their birthdays.
34. People born in winter get sad or happy more easily.
35. The best title of this passage is “The Influence of Genes”.
B

“Oh, dear Madam,” continued the frog,“I am Mongy. Nice to meet you!”
“Nice to meet you,too! You can call me Christa. How is it possible that I can hear you,Mongy?”
15
“You wanted to get to know nature and the living things in the world,and you started paying attention to nature. Most people never pay attention to nature, so they only listen when they are young. But you heard the voices of nature calling you. You went even further than that and you tried to get along well with nature. That’s why you can hear me now. ”
It was at this moment that my life changed and I suddenly knew what my destiny(命运)would be from that day on.

How about you help me make some popcorn?” “All right.”
At that moment I knew the wonderful gift that I had been given. It was the important responsibility to develop a child’s sense of security (安全感). I learned that as a 50 , I should never “run away” from the opportunity to show my children they are wanted,
