Their study say that 4,000 years ago in Babylon a son called Elmesu carved a fathers day message on a clay card. In his message Elmesu wished his father a long and healthy life. However, in modern times the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Fathers Day while listening to a Mothers Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. Sonoras father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Fathers Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.The noble idea of celebrating Fathers Day became quite popular in US so much so that President Woodrow Wilson approved of the festival in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge too supported the idea but it was President Lyndon Johnson who signed a Presidential Proclamation declaring the third Sunday of June as Fathers Day in 1966. Then in 1972, President Richard Nixon established a permanent national observance of Fathers Day to be held on the third Sunday of June. Most monly, children give Fathers Day cards and flowers to their father. Neckties are a popular gift on the occasion of Fathers Day. Due to the tradition of giving gifts, cards makers, florists and gift sellers campaign for Fathers Day Festival in a big way and cash in on the sentiments of the people.24.

Which of the following best explains “sentiments” underlined in the last paragraph?A. Actions.B. Feelings.C. Activities.D. Ines.CSometimes we may find that every week there are a lot of new stories about how climate change is affecting the planet, or new plans to battle its effects. But the concept itself isnt new at all - in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earths temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fouriers ideas spread, it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius weled the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.While Arrhenius findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has e a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.28. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The atmosphere.B. The greenhouse effect.C. The climate change.D. The heat from the sun.29. When did the scientists find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A. In 1903.B. In 1950.C. 200 years ago.D. By the end of 1950s.30. Whats the authors attitude towards Arrhenius wish?A. Positive.B. Indifferent. C. Supportive.D. Opposed.31. Whats the main idea of the text? A. Causes of climate change. B. Effects of greenhouse gases. C. Explorations on climate change. D. Findings about global warming.DIf you ask most people what water tastes like, theyll probably tell you that water has no taste and they may give you a funny look. But if you were a fruit fly, asking another fruit fly, that question might have a different answer.To a fruit fly, water has a taste. Scientists want to know how the fruit fly knows water because this information may help in learning how other animals or even individual cells manage to use water in the right way. Water is vital to life, but too much or too little can be deadly to a living creature. So by understanding how the fruit fly tastes water, researchers may learn more about other living things.According to the new study, a protein(蛋白质) called PPK28 makes it possible for a fly to taste water. Proteins build cells and tissues, fight disease and carry messages between cells. Its not surprising that a protein is responsible for the fruit flys ability to taste water.The PPK28 protein is part of a larger family of similar proteins. One of these related proteins is used by mammals (including humans) to taste salt. Scientists have not found a protein that enables humans to “taste” water.In the experiment, Cameron and his team pared normal fruit flies with fruit flies whose taste cells had been disabled. The fruit flies were given a special chemical that would glow(发光) when the fly used the PPK28 protein. Then the scientists led the flies to water. When the normal flies tasted the water, the PPK28 protein lit up showing that it was in use. The fruit fly in particular is so interesting that some scientists are hard at work creatinga plete map of the fruit fly brain. This map will show all of a flys neurons and help scientists understand how the neurons work together.32. How do most people feel when asked the taste of water?A. Amused. B. Frightened.C. Disappointed. D. Disgusted.33. Why do scientists want to know how the fruit fly knows water?A. To decrease the number of the fruit fly. B. To know more about other creatures.C. To manage to use water correctly. D. To describe the taste of water.34. What do we know about the PPk28 protein?A. It can make humans taste salt. B. The fruit fly cant live without it. C. It enables the fruit fly to taste water. D. The fruit fly uses it to avoid illnesses.35. What will the scientists continue to work at?A. Studying the fruit flys neuron systems.B. Telling more information about cells.C. Creating maps of human brains.D. Making the PPk28 protein.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处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Recently, a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their baby son 4Real. Even though New Zealand has quite liberal rules about naming children, names beginning with a number are not allowed. 36 In many countries around the world, unusual names for children are being more popular, especially since the increasing trend for celebrities to give their children unusual names. 37 The only restrictions on parents relate to offensive words such as swear words (脏话). Some parents choose names which e from popular culture. For example, there have been six boys named Gandalf after the character in the Lord of the Rings novels and films. 38 Since 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team. 39 Jordan, the British model, recently invented the name Tiamii for her daughter by bining the names Thea and Amy (the two grandmothers). Other countries have much stricter rules when it es to naming children. Countries including Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have an approved list of names from which parents must choose. In China, there are some rules about what you may call a child no foreign letters or symbols are allowed. 40 In Britain, some names which were previously thought of as old-fashioned have bee more popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl, or Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are not the strange ones. The top names are fairly traditional Jack, Charlie and Thomas for boys and Grace, Ruby and Jessica for girls.A. The parents finally came up with a plan.B. They decided to call him Superman instead.C. Names related to sport are also fairly mon.D. Other parents like to make up or bine names.E. You can call a child almost anything you like in Britain.F. A couple were recently banned from calling their baby .G.
