AShree Bose is one of the most impressive kids graduating from Fort Worth Country Day High School this year. Bose has a large circle of friends, and there’s one who you may have heard of: President Obama. He has twice publicly recognized her achievements in cancer research and spoken with her in the Oval Office.If that isn’t enough, Bose recently gave a TED Talk about her work with the cancer drug Cisplatin, which also won her first prize at the Google Science Fair and recognition as one of Glamour magazine’s Young Amazing Women of the Year.After watching her grandfather struggle with liver cancer, Bose was determined to help out in any way she could. As a high school student though, her scientific choices were limited. She reached out to various hospitals and research centers, but doctors turned down her requests because they felt she was too inexperienced medically.Only the North Texas Science Health Center respected her determination and chose to guide her. The results were amazing.Bose chose to study a protein (蛋白质) and its reaction with the cancer drug Cisplatin. She noticed that when she prevented this protein from growing, Cisplatin was allowed to begin destroying cancer cells once again.“My project not only contributes to the understanding of the relationship between the protein and Cisplatin, but also suggests a newer, more effective treatment for patients who resist Cisplatin,” Bose said.Bose’s achievements aren’t limited to the lab, though. She was also captain of her swim team and editor-in-chief of her school paper.Bose is currently getting practical experience at the N ational Institute of Health and she’ll be attending Harvard in the fall. She plans to study molecular biology and go to medical school.Eventually, she would like to be a doctor.21.

This passage is probably taken from __________.A. a textbookB. a science magazineC. an advertisementD. an announcementCOver the years, Brian Wansink, director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, has studied such things as how far Americans typically drive to buy food, how many times we refill our plates at all-you-can-eat buffets and how we organize our kitchens. In the mid-2000s he famously coined the phr ase “mindless eating”(and wrote a book by that name) to fo cus attention on all the bad dietary decisions we make without really thinking about them.His new book, Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life, aims to change the design of restaurants, school lunchrooms, office cafeterias and homes so that the mindless choices we make will be more healthful ones. Some examples:Keep kitchen counters clear. No visible snack food, no bread, no nuts—not even breakfast cereal. In Wansink’s research, “women who had even one box of breakfast cereal that was visible –anywhere in their kitchen—weighed 21 pounds more than their neighbor who didn’t.”Trick yourself into drinking less wine. “We tend to focus on the height of what we pour and not the width, so we pour 12 percent less wine into taller wineglasses than we pour into wider wineglasses.” And the shape of the glass is not the only variable that affects how much we drink.Wansink writes: “Because red wine is easier to see than white wine, we pour 9 percent less red wine whenever we pour a glass.”Wansink said his researchers also found that people ate less at restaurants when sat in well-lighted areas near windows and doors, than in darker areas or in the back. They ate less if they were offered a doggie bag, or to-go box, before they got their meals: apparently the idea of getting a “free” second meal outweighed the impulse(冲动) to clean their plates. Workers who frequently ate at their desks weighed 15.4 pounds less, on average, than those who didn’t. Fruits and vegetables kept on the top shelf of the refrigerator were eaten at higher rates than those on lower shelves.The point, Wansink says, is to consider findings like those and change your environment or habits. Then you won’t have to think about it: You’ll just eat less.29. Why did Brian Wansink write Slim by Design: Mindless eating Solutions for Everyday Life?A. Because he wanted people to become thin.B. Because he wished to change the design of public places.C. Because he hoped to coin a new phase “mindless eating”.D. Because he intended to help people make more healthful dietary decision.30. According to Wansink, which of the following affects the amount of wine we drink: ____.A. the shape of wineglassesB. the color of wineglassesC. the taste of wineD. the quality of wine31. Wh at’s the main idea of the passage?A. Changing environment or habits of eating will help you eat less.B. Eating fruits and vegetables is better for your health.C. Keeping your kitchen counter clear of any food will help make you thin.D. Many people eat or drink too much without paying attention to it.DPeople are being lured (引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was the great thing about facebook —you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things — your city, your photo, your friends' names—were set, by default (默认) to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfyingexperience”.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator(议员) Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy is only the beginning, which is why I’m considering deactivating(撤销) my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.32. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.C. It provides loads of information to its users.D. It profits by selling its users’ personal data.33. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To provide better service to its users.B. To follow the Federal guidelines.C. To improve its users’ connectivity.D. To expand its scope of business.34. What does Senator Charles Schumer advocate(倡导)?A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.B. Ba nning the sharing of users’ personal information.C. Removing ads from all social-networking sites.D. Formulating (制订) regulations for social-networking sites..35. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.B. He doesn’t want his personal data abused.C. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。
