Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
What determines the kind of person you are? What factors make you more or
less bold, intelligent, or able to read a map? All of these are influenced by
the interaction of your genes and the environment in which you were 47 . The
study
of
how
genes
and
environment
interact
to
influence 48 activity
is
known
as behavioral genetics. Behavioral genetics has made important 49 to the
biological revolution, providing information about the extent to which biology
influences mind, brain and behavior.
Any research that suggests that 50 to perform certain behaviors are
based
in
biology
is
controversial.
Who
wants
to
be
told
that
there
are
limitations
to what you can 51 based on something that is beyond your control, such as
your
genes?
It
is
easy
to
accept
that
genes
control
physical
characteristics
such
as sex, race
and eye
color. But
can
genes
also
determine whether
people will get
divorced,
how 52 they
are,
or
what
career
they
are
likely
to
choose?
A
concern
of
psychological
scientists
is
the 53 to
which
all
of
these
characteristics
are
influenced
by
nature
and
nurture(
养育
),
by
genetic
makeup
and
the
environment.
Increasingly,
science 54 that
genes
lay
the
groundwork
for
many
human
traits.
From
this
perspective,
people
are
born 55 like
undeveloped
photographs:
The
image is already captured, but the way it 56 appears can vary based on the
development process. However, the basic picture is there from the beginning.

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.


When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones
–
the kind of high-tech,
solar-paneled masterpieces
that make the
covers
of architecture magazines. But
the U.S.
has
more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be __47__ wasteful to tear them all down
and __48__ them with greener versions. An enormous amount of energy and resources went
into the construction of those houses. And it would take an average of 65 years for the __49__
carbon
emissions
from
a
new
energy-efficient
home
to
make
up
for
the
resources
lost
by
destroying an old one. So in the broadest __50__, the greenest home is the one that has already
been
built.
But
at
the
same
time,
nearly
half
of
U.
S.
carbon
emissions
come
from
heating,
cooling
and
__51__
our
homes,
offices
and
other
buildings.

can't
deal
with
climate
change
without
dealing
with
existing
buildings,
says
Richard
Moe,
the
president
of
the
National Trust.


With some __52__, the oldest homes tend to be the least
energy-efficient.
Houses built
before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due
to the tiny cracks and gaps that __53__ over time and let in more outside air.


Fortunately, there are a __54__ number of relatively simple changes that can green older
homes, from __55__ ones like Lincoln's Cottage to
your
own postwar home. And efficiency
upgrades (
升级
) can save more than just the earth; they can help __56__ property owners from
rising power costs.

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.


In
families
with
two
working
parents,
fathers
may
have
more
impact
on
a
child
’
s language development than mothers, a new study suggests.


Researchers 47 92 families form 11 child care centers before their children
were a year old, interviewing each to establish income, level of education and
child care arrangements. Overall, it was a group of well-class families, with
married parents both living in the home.


When the children were 2, researchers videotaped them at home in free-play
sessions
with both
parents, 48
all
of their
speech. The study
will appear
in the
November issue of The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology.


The scientists measured the 49 number of utterance (
话语
) of the parents,
the number of different words they used, the complexity of their sentences and
other 50 of their speech. On average, fathers spoke less than mothers did, but
they
did
not
differ
in
the
length
of
utterances
or
proportion
of
questions
asked.


Finally,
the
researchers
51
the
children
’
s
speech
at
age
3,
using
a
standardized language test. The only predictors of high scores on the test were
the
mother
’
s
level
of
education,
the
52
of
child
care
and
the
number
of
different
words the father used.


The researchers are 53 why the father
’
s speech, and not the mother
’
s, had
an effect.


“
It
’
s
well
54
that
the
mother
’
s
language
does
have
an
impact,
”
said
Nadya
Pancsofar, the lead author of the study. It could be that the high-functioning
mothers in the study had 55 had a strong influence on their children
’
s speech
development, Ms. Pancso
far said, “or it may be that mothers are 56 in a way we
d
idn’t measure in the study.”

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
Every year in the first week of my English class, some students inform me
that writhing is too hard. They never write, unless assignments 47 it . They
fine the writing process 48 and difficult.
How awful to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it- 49
English , with its rich vocabulary . Being able to speak but not write is like
living in an 50
mansion
(
豪宅
) and never leaving one small room . When I meet
students
who
think
they
can
’
t
write,
I
know
as
a
teacher
my 51 is
to
show
them
the
rest
of
the
rooms
.
My
task
is
to
build
fluency
while
providing
the
opportunity
inherent
in any
writing activity
to 52 the moral
and emotional
development of
my students . One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal
in class every day.
Writing
ability is
like strength training. Writing needs
to be done 53 ,
just
like
exercise
;
just
as
muscles
grow
stronger
with
exercise
,
writing
skills
improve quickly with writing practice. I often see a rise in student confidence
and 54 after only a few weeks of journal writing .
Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach
to
strengthen
the
whole
student.
When
my
students
practice
journal
writing,
they
are
practicing
for
their
future
academic,
political,
and 55 lives
.
They
build
skills
so that
some
day
they might
write a
great novel,
a piece of
sorely needed
legislation, or the perfect love letter. Every day that they write in their
journals
puts
them
a
step 56 to
fluency
,
eloquence

(

),
and
command
of language .
