It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas, and as the newest doctor in our office, I had to work.The only thing that__1__my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a__2__ sent to me by a fellow I was dating—a dozen red roses.

第一节 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Mankind is still evolving(进化)，according to a recent study by a team of scientists led by a Yale University evolutionary biologist.But research suggests that the natural selection process is no longer driven by survival，perhaps because of differences in women's fertility(能生育性)．
The team examined 2,238 women in Framingham，Massachusetts，the US and studied the medical histories of some 14,000 residents since 1948.
They found that strong，slightly fat women tend to have more children.And if this trend were to continue for the next 10 generations，by 2,409 the average woman would be 2 cm shorter,1 kg heavier，and have a healthier heart.
That rate of evolution is pretty similar to what we see in plants and animals.Humans_don't_seem_to_be_any_exception，the team said.
Other recent genetic research backs up that belief.One study by John Hawks，an anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin at Madison，found that some 1,800 human gene variations (变异) are common in recent generations because of evolution.Among the changes are mutations (突变) that allow people to digest milk or resist malaria(疟疾)and others that govern brain development.
Since the Industrial Revolution，modern humans have grown taller and stronger.It's easy to assume that evolution is making humans fitter.But according to anthropologist Peter McAllister，the contemporary male has evolved physically into “the sorriest example of male ever on the planet”．An average Neanderthal woman，McAllister notes，could have beat Arnold Schwarzenegger in an armwrestling (腕力) match.And early Australian Aborigines could easily defeat Usain Bolt in a 100-m dash.
However，Douglas Ewbank，of the University of Pennsylvania，says that cultural factors tend to have a much greater impact than natural selection on future generations，so people tend to ignore evolution's effects.
And，despite evidence indicating evolution still works，Steve Jones，an evolutionary biologist at University College London，thinks that the impact of evolution on humans is not the most important.“What makes humans what we are is in our minds，in our society，and not in our evolution，”said Jones.
26．What does the underlined sentence “Humans don't seem to be any exception” imply?
A．Plants and animals are evolving faster than humans.
B．Evolution doesn't work in humans any longer.
C．The rate of evolution in plants and animals also applies to humans.
D．Humans are unique in their evolution.
27．Why is the recent genetic research quoted in the fifth paragraph?
A．To support the belief that mankind is still evolving.
B．To show human gene variations are common in recent generations.
C．To prove modern humans have grown fitter.
D．To suggest that the natural selection process is no longer driven by survival.
28．According to the passage，we can infer that Arnold Schwarzenegger________.
A．used to be a famous actor
B．is an American governor
C．is very weak
D．is very strong
29．According to Douglas Ewbank，which of the following factors plays a greater part in the future generations?
A．Culture. B．Evolution.
C．Natural selection. D．Genetic mutations.
30．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Mankind is still evolving.
B．Women will get fatter.
C．The history of human evolution.
D．Future women tend to have more children.
B

Finally the detective gets all the suspects together and gives away information that not everyone knows，until the real murderer is revealed.

People often blame things on their destinies.In fact, according to the author, it is your attitude and character, rather than destiny, that determine your life.Besides, the author advises us to seek every chance of “good luck” to enjoy life and not to worry about destiny.
Indeed，destiny can't decide one's success.The world famous musician Beethoven once said，“I'll catch the throat of destiny.”Although something in our life goes beyond our control，we can also achieve it by changing our attitude towards it.With determination and persistence, we will succeed at last.Mentioning this, I suddenly remember an issue, which can be a nice example for this.
Six years ago，I lost my father，who passed away for illness.Once I thought my future was helpless and hopeless，and was addicted to the Internet.Later，as I saw the optimistic boy without one leg, I changed my attitude towards life.Now，I'm living rather happily.Hadn't I seen the boy and changed my attitude, I think I would still be controlled by my destiny and never be happy.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history.An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook，a new view of the universe.It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity(识别) of time and space and so on —but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.
By 1914 young Einstein had been world-famous.He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin.He had few duties，little teaching and unlimited chances for study，but soon his peace and quietness were broken by World War Ⅰ.
Einstein hated fighting and killing.The great suffering of war affected him deeply，and he sat unhappily in his office doing little.He lost interest in his research.Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.
In the year following World War Ⅰ honors were increasingly put on him.He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physi.But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people.He was well known for his humble(谦逊的)manner.He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived.
In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize，and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism(纳粹) when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.

Ludwig van Beethoven was one of the greatest composers in musical history.He was born in Bonn，Germany in 1770.Both his father Johann and his grandfather Ludwig were musicians.
Ludwig's father gave him early musical training and hoped that the boy would become a musical genius like Mozart.He forced him to get up in the middle of the night and practise the piano.
When he was 7，Ludwig started playing in public and at the age of 13 became an assistant organist (风琴演奏者) at a small church in Cologne.In 1787 Ludwig van Beethoven travelled to Vienna where he met Mozart but after a short stay he had to go back to Bonn because his mother had died.He returned back to Vienna in 1792，where he stayed until his death.

The NBA's version of the Ming Dynasty is done.After helping pro (正面地) basketball gain a foothold in the world's most populous market，Chinese star Yao Ming has retired.
Yao made it official Wednesday，telling a news conference that a series of foot and leg injuries forced him to end his playing career at the age of 30.
“I will formally end my career，” said Yao，who became a household name in China before starting his NBA career with the Houston Rockets in 2002.Yao played eight seasons in the NBA.
“Today is an important day for me and holds a special meaning for both my basketball career and my future，” Yao said.“I had to leave the court since I suffered a stress fracture (断裂) in my left foot for the third time at the end of last year.My past six months were a painful wait.I have been thinking about my future over and over.Today I am announcing a personal decision，ending my career as a basketball player and officially retire.But_one_door_is_closing_and_another_one_is_opening.”
Yao said he would return to work with his former Chinese team，the Shanghai Sharks，with the possibility of becoming general manager.He already owns the club and wants to contribute more.
“My playing career started with the club.I hope I can do something for it，” Yao said.
He later appeared with his family on the stage to the applause and cheers of the crowd.He thanked a lot of people—his family，former coaches，even players like Shaquille O'Neal—“for making me a better player.I will be always with you.Thank you.”
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey was among those attending the farewell (告别) conference Wednesday.Morey made the long trip from Houston.Morey said 20 hours on planes was tiring but he would be sorry if he wasn't here.“It's a big moment，” Morey added.“Yao had a sense of humor，a great attitude and sense of responsibility.I hope we can continue his culture in the NBA.”
Yao had played six years with the Chinese national team before joining the Rockets，and was already a star in his home country.He carried the Olympic torch through Tian'anmen Square and his country's flag during the opening ceremony at the Beijing Olympic in 2008.He also donated D|S2 million and set up a foundation to rebuild schools in the wake of the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan.

2．B 细节理解题。根据文中第三段的“In 1787 Ludwig van Beethoven travelled to Vienna where he met Mozart...”内容可知，是在维也纳遇到的莫扎特。
3．C 推理判断题。根据文中第四段的内容“The Viennese thought that Beethoven was a strange man with his untidy appearance.He had wild black hair and lived by his own rules.”可知，因为贝多芬是一个不修边幅的人，所以维也纳人们把他看作一个奇怪的人。
