London: It‘s well known that Charles Darwin‘s famous theory of evolution (进化) annoyed many people because it was against the Biblical view of creation. But few know that it also created problems for Darwin at home with his deeply religious wife, Emma.

―Darwin held back the publication of On the Origin of Species to avoid offending (触怒) his wife,‖ says Ruth Padel, the naturalist‘s great – great – granddaughter. ―Emma told him that he seemed to be putting God further and further off‖, Padel says in her north London home. ―But they

B. He is going to a performance. C. He is going to the post

20. What did the woman think of her friend' s college life?

C. It was dull.

talked it through, and Emma once said, ‗Don‘t change any of your ideas for fear of hurting me.‘‖

As the world celebrates the 200th birthday of the man who changed scientific thought forever and the 150 th anniversary of his book today, even his opponents admitted he was a giant figure.

Though opposition to his theory continues, it is the elegant explanation of how species evolutes through natural selection that makes his 200th birthday such a major event.

More than 300 celebrations have been planned in Britain alone, where Darwin's face graces (使增光)the 10-pound bill along with that of Queen Elizabeth II.

Shrewsbury, the central England town where Darwin was born and raised, is holding a month-long festival for its most famous son. Down House, his former home near London, will hold a permanent exhibition recreating some of his most famous experiments.

Many more events have been planned all over the world. What would he be doing if he were alive today? Padel thinks he would properly be studying DNA and the immune system. 21．The main purpose of the author is .

A．to say something about Darwin and his wife

B．to introduce Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution C．to sing high praise for the book On the Origin of Species

D．to report some celebrations of Darwin‘s 200 th birthday and the 150 th anniversary of his

books

22．Which of the statements is NOT true based on the passage?

A．Everyone agrees with Darwin now.

B．Darwin was brought up in Shrewsbury.

C．Emma was not really fond of his theory. D．Darwin was very interested in living things. A．prevented from B．kept a secret

C．cared about

D．put off

D．a text

23．The underlined phrase ―held back‖ in the second paragraph probably means . 24．It can be inferred that the passage is most probably . A．a scientific report B．a news report C．an English composition B

When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking warmly. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me．She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother．It was very cool and lovely．

Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send an e-mail that gets read to the receiver on line by an attractive male or female or by a clown（小丑）．The software , which is free , can be downloaded at www.facemail.com. Facemail faces are lifelike , and they simulate（模仿）emotions based on emotions that you put in your text．

The company that develops the Facemail, is sure there will be broad uses in many fields．The reason why e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale ? And it is talking with Whirpool Company about using

the technology in a computer screen on a fridge．Then if Mom can‘t be home when the kids get back from school , she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat．

Facemail could get hot fast．Personally , I‘m a fan. Facemail is lively and funny at first , but if you select the clown , put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, you‘ve got a crazy mail.

25．The main advantage of Facemail is that ．

A．the e-mail can be read in a more lovely way B．you can talk with the person who sends you the e-mail C．you can put your own emotions in the e-mail as you like D．you can write an e – mail to anyone A．is a software hard to download

B．will take the place of the e-mail system

26．We can infer from the passage that Facemail ．

C．can destroy your e-mail if not properly used

D．is likely to be used in other ways in our daily life and work A．Michael Jordan will serve you himself on Nike website B．famous people like Michael Jordan also like to use Facemail C．Facemail can make shopping on the Internet more interesting D．Nike company is increasing its sales through the fame of Jordan A．Facemail is cool and funny

B．Facemail is a danger to the Internet C

Latest research shows that yawning(打哈欠) helps in keeping the brain cool, which is quite different from the popular belief that yawning promotes sleep and is a sign of tiredness.

Yawning involves opening the mouth while taking a long, deep breath of air. It is commonly believed that people yawn as a result of being sleepy or tired because they need oxygen. However, researchers at the University of Albany in New York said their experiments on 44 students showed that drawing in air helps cool the brain and helps it work more effectively. They said that their experiments showed that raising or lowering oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood did not produce that reaction.

Study participants were shown videos of people laughing and yawning, and researchers counted how many times the volunteers responded to their own ―contagious(传染性的) yawns,‖ reported the online edition of BBC News. The researchers found that those who breathed through the nose rather than the mouth were less likely to yawn when watching a video of other people yawning. This was because the blood vessels（脉管）in the nasal cavity sent cool blood to the brain.

The same effect was found among those who held a cool pack to their forehead, whereas those who held a warm or room-temperature pack yawned while watching the video.

An Agreement

I am a Senior Three student. I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can watch TV after school. My mother holds the view that students in senior three, shouldering heavy loads, are too busy to spare any time to watch TV. It seems to her that' once I am allowed to do that I'll not be able to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks that it is bad for my eyes to watch TV too often. But I really can't accept her ideas. I think it a relaxation to watch TV after a day's hard work. Watching TV can not only relax me, but broaden my horizons. Now we've at last reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends, and the programs should be limited to news, programs of entertainment, sports or science.
