"You care for nothing but shooting dogs and catching rats. You will shame yourself and all your family," Darwin's father once said to him.
Most people know that Charles Darwin was the father of evolutionary biology. However, what is not widely known is what sort of person he was.
In his autobiography(自传), Darwin described himself as a rather "naughty'' child. He stole fruit from the trees on the side of his parents' house, made up wild stories, and tried to be the center of attention in the family.
Even worse, it seemed that Charles Darwin was a lazy young man and a slow learner at grammar school. He was a rather shy student but he did take great pleasure in showing off his athletic skills to the other schoolboys. It is not known how well Darwin did at school, but we could say that he was likely to be an unremarkable student.
When Darwin was nine years old, his father sent him to a boy's boarding school. At this school, Darwin learned classics, ancient history and Greek, all of which he found boring. He was not inspired much by his schooling. He found his only pleasure there was reading Shakespeare's historical plays, the poems of Byron, Scott, and Thomson. His increased interest in natural science was encouraged by events outside his formal education.
As Darwin grew older, collecting became his major hobby. It became very clear that Darwin was not taking his studies seriously.
1. We can infer from paragraph 1 that when Darwin was a child, his father thought _____.
A. he was not a common child B. he would become a great man
C. he didn't care about his family D. he wouldn't achieve anything
2. By mentioning that Darwin made up wild stories, the writer probably wants to show that Darwin _____.
A. had a gift for language B. liked to be the center of attention
C. was "naughty" when he was a child D. was a very good storyteller
3. The underlined word "unremarkable'' in paragraph 4 probably means "_____".
A. able B. honest C. ordinary D. ugly
4. What do we learn from paragraph 5
A. Darwin thought classics, ancient history and Greek boring.
B. Darwin was inspired much by his schooling.
C. Darwin disliked reading Shakespeare's historical plays.
D. Darwin's interest in natural science was encouraged by events in his formal education.

二、七选五
答案：BDAFE
解析：①根据下文"We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time."可知,舞蹈在美国无处不在。
②由上下文可推知,设空处应与教学活动有关。D项提到学生的感受,符合语境,且"My older students"与"them"相呼应。
③本段谈到跳舞给一对年轻夫妇带来的改变,由此可推知本段开始介绍跳舞的原因。
④上文提到这对夫妇来上课时情绪低落,离开时却面带微笑,这说明舞蹈改变了他们的感受。F项中"change their feelings"是对上文的概括。
⑤由上一句中"Even after all these years"以及下一句"I find it hard to stop!"可知,Andrea Hillier一直坚持跳舞,故E项符合语境。
三、阅读理解
答案：1-4 DCCA
解析：1.推理判断题。根据第一段中达尔文的父亲对达尔文说的话可知,父亲认为达尔文长大后会一事无成,会使达尔文自己和家庭都蒙羞。
2.推理判断题。第三段第一句提到,达尔文在他的自传里说自己是个非常“调皮的”孩子。作者在下文举了几个例子,是为了证明达尔文所说的这个观点。
3.词义猜测题。根据第四段前两句话可知,达尔文小时候在学校并不是出类拔萃的学生,只是一名很普通的学生,故此处应选C项(ordinary)。
4.细节理解题。根据第五段第二句可知,达尔文觉得古典文化、古代史和希腊语都很枯燥。
