Within this month.BLooking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental maths.I have only the unmemorable memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals, the local birds and, above all the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honour with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist： One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but all training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is bom. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.24. What impressed the author deeply during his childhood?A. Wildlife.B. Music.C. Languages.D.Literature.25. Why can’t the author remember his relatives clearly ?A. He didn’t live with them for long.B.The family was extremely large.C.He was fully occupied with observing nature.D. He was too young when he lived with them.26. According to the author, what personality should a born naturalist have first of all?A. Being knowledgeable.B.self-disciplined.C. Being full of ambition.D. Being full of enthusiasm.27. Why does the author say he is a naturalist not a scientist?A. He thinks he lacks some quality required of a scientist.B. He thinks he has much trouble doing mental arithmetic.C. He thinks he comes up with solutions in a most natural way.D. He thinks he just reads about other people’s observations.C“Time is a problem for kids,” s tates a news report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries “ leam time slowly ” because “ they don’t wear watches ’’ and “ parents don’t really know how to teach them time” . The kids grow up with this handicap and become adults —and then can’t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? of course—it’s the Flik F lak, made by a famous Swiss watch company.The Flik Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach kids how to tell time, of course it merely “controls their imagination”by presenting the “hour” hand as a beautiful red girl named Fla y and the “minute” hand as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to corresponding “blue” minutes on the dial, while Flak points to red hour numbers, which is supposed to teach young children how to tell time.The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band. Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it “ Kidproof”： if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine. The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $ 25. Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing for kids to tell time ； and it’s quite another for them to be on time.28. Why does the writer use the question in the first paragraph?A. To stress the role of time.B. To draw readers’ attention to the topic.C. To emphasize parents’ importance to kids.D. To invite readers to answer it.29. What does the underlined word “ handicap” in the first paragraph refer to?A. C hildren’s lack of concept of time.B. Children’s conflict on time with parents.C. Parents’ overact to children’s unpunctuality.D. Pare nts’ neglect on children’s education.30. How does the watch contribute to teaching children how to tell time?A. By being decorated with different fairies.B. By arranging the face in a fantastic order.C. With creative designs effective on children.D. With colorful “minute” hand and “second” hand.31. What does Peter Lipkin think of the watch?A. It’s effective in teaching children time.B. It’s the children’sfavourite watch.C. It can be easily damaged.D. It’s adaptable anddurable.DRunning may feel like a big task for most of us. But do you know our species has evolved to run better than any other animals on this planet? Cheetahs are the fastest land animals in the world. But do you know that humans can leave them in the dust? At least, in the long run. That’s right. When it comes to endurance (耐力），we can outrun cheetahs. wolves and even horses. So what makes humans such endurance running superstars? The secret weapon is our sweat. We have 2- 4 million sweat glands(腺）all over our body，which means we can run and cool ourselves at the same time. Having no fur is also a huge plus, In contrast, dogs rely on panting( 喘息) to cool down, and other animals, like horses and camels, also sweat, but less effectively. As a result, they overheat faster and must slow down sooner.So, why did humans get to be such great endurance runners, anyway? Some experts believe this became important around 2-3 million years ago, when we started hunting. Because we couldn’t chase down a gazelle(瞪羚）like a cheetah，early humans learned hunting.Studies show running can lower body weight and body fat. And the longer you train,the greater the benefits are. Just one year of training has been shown to reduce body weight by about 7 lbs, lower body fat by 2.1 % and decrease resting heart rate by 2. 7 % .It may seem really hard, or even impossible to run a mile or a marathon. But in fact, you were born to go on that run. We all were.32. In the first paragraph, cheetahs are mentioned to___________.A. show cheelahs are the fastest land animals in the world.B. introduce humans can run fastest on the planet in the long run.C. contrast wolves and even horses in one aspect of enduranceD. inform running may be a big challenge for most of us humans32. Why can we humans he endurance running superstars?A. We can pant to cool down our heat like dogs.B. We can sweat effectively like horses and camels.C. We have massive sweat glands and meanwhile no fur.D. We can run and overheat fastest to cool down ourselves.33. According to studies in the article, if you want to lose weight, what should you do?A. Eat a variety of vegetables and less fat.B. Work out at the gym every day.C. Exercise outside as much as you like.D. Conduct systematic training in running.34. What does the author intend to emphasize in the last paragraph?A. Humans have great running ability by birth.B. Humans can chase down animals like cheetahs.C. Marathoners don’t need hard training.D. Running can lower body weight and fat.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
