People who knew them both could hardly believe they were from the same planet, let alone the same family. The boys were not unkind toward one another, but their personalities（个性）were so different that it was difficult for them to reach a decision they both liked. Their mother frequently played the judge in their disagreement. Ishmael, the older brother,was athletic. He played baseball, football, and basketball Isadore, the younger brother, hated sports. He was quieter and less active than his brother. He preferred spending his time on the computer, making short videos and writing short articles. Ishmael loved classic rock. He listened to bands like the Beatles. Isadore didnt care much for those bands. He preferred music from Central Africa. Luckily for their parents, both boys enjoyed listening to music through headphones. One other thing the brothers did agree on was that they wanted a pet. Mom had resisted getting one, but after both brothers had begged, she finally agreed.“We can get a pet, as long as you two take care of it,” she said.That means you do the feeding, you do the training, and if it needs to be walked, you do the walking. “No problem, Mom,”Ishmael and Isadore said together. “Good, we all agree,” Mom said. “Now, what kind of pet are we going to get?”24.The two brothers mother often had to be the judge when they _.

A.brothers and their pet B.brothers and their life C.brothers of different personalities D.brothers of different hobbiesC A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good nights sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod offif it is milked from a cow at night.    Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.   The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.   Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.   Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.   While the effect of cow milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.   Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.   Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.28.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_. A.were more anxious              B.started sleep more easily C.were less active                D.woke up later 29.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text? A.Its been tested on mice for ten times. B.It can make people more energetic. C.Its used in sleeping drugs. D.It exists in milk in great amount. 30.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Milk Drinking and Health         B.Fat, Sugar and Health C.An Experiment on Mice           D.Night Milk and Sleep 31.How does the author support the theme of the text? A.By giving examples.             B.By providing research results. C.By stating arguments.           D.By explaining statistical data.D Children are losing the ability to play properly because they are being given too many toys and games, according to a new research.   The studies show that children, especially those under five, are often overwhelmed (不知所措) and actually play less than those with fewer toys. It may even harm their development. The studies show that giving children too many toys or toys of the wrong type can actually be doing them harm. They get overwhelmed and cannot concentrate on anything long enough to learn from it.   The conclusions have been backed up by British research looking at children with relatively fewer toys, whose parents spend more time reading, singing or playing with them. It showed such children surpass (胜过) youngsters from richer backgrounds, even those who could use computers.   Some parents notice the ill effect early. Orhan Ismail, a researcher saw a change for the worse in Cameron, his 10-month-old son, after he was given a lot of toys last Christmas.   Ismail said, “If there are too many toys in front of him, he will just keep flitting（掠过） around them and then end up going off and finding something like a slipper to play with. Now we just get out one or two toys and hide the rest in a box.”   Alexander and her husband also decided to limit the toys their 6 daughters play with. She believed many toys limit childrens imaginations. She said, “A Barbie can only work as a Barbie. But a cardboard box can become anything. The only limitations are in the childs mind.”   Experts hesitate to put a figure on the number of toys children should have, but many believe two dozen is enough for children of preschool age.32.From which paragraph can we learn that “British research group has been in favour of the conclusion”? A.Paragraph 3. B.Paragraph 4. C.Paragraph 5. D.Paragraph 6. 33.In the writers opinion, a Barbie_.

D.The proper number of toys given to the children depends on their ages. 35.It may NOT be a good idea to_. A.spend more time reading or playing with children B.choose right types of toys for children C.ask experts for the exact number of necessary toys D.put out one or two toys and hide the rest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。Tips for Reading ShakespeareFor a beginner, Shakespeare can sometimes seem like a bunch of strange words put together in no reasonable order.
