Or do you easily get angry sometimes? Everyone has a 41 temp
18、erament. It is usually be1ieved that both genes and environment may 42 peoples temperaments in different ways. But now scientists have found that the season of birth also plays a role.Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the students needed to finish a 43
19、 . The purpose of it was to find out which of four kinds of 44 they most had. From the questionnaire, scientists found that the students always answered something like “My mood often changes for no reason“ and “I love to deal with new 45 , even if it is risky“. These answers were then matched with t
20、heir birthdays.They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods 46 to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood of47 which may easily drive the
21、m to cry, while those born in winter were not easier to be angry. Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had a(n) 48 on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to 49 peoples moods even in adult life.“It seems that when you are born may increase or 50
22、your chance of developing certain mood disorders ,“ lead scientist Xenia Gonda told The Telegraph. IV. Reading ComprehensionSection A (15)2016 年 2 月 23 日复旦附中英语刘老师4Last months explosion at a chemical warehouse(仓库)in Tianjin took the lives of 159 people, injured hundreds more and left several thousand
23、 people homeless. In the days after the tragedy, people around the country began to 51 money to help the victims. It was a wonderful example of the charitable spirit of Chinese people.Charity is what is known as a virtue, or moral goodness. The dictionary defines it as the 52 giving of help, usually
24、 in the form of money, to people in need. And a charity is a(n) 53 whose purpose is to raise money and help those in need. The Red Cross is one 54 of a charity. But charity also had a broader meaningthe unselfish love for others and, by loving them, making them better people. This meaning 55 us to b
25、e tolerant and forgiving.With 56 to the first definition, its important to remember that charity is the “voluntary” giving of money. Its a matter of 57 choice whether to give or not give. Jackie Chan, the Hong Kong actor and singer, was 58 , rightfully so, for donating 3 million yuan to the Tianjin
26、victims. 59 , Jack Ma Yun, Chinas second richest person, has remained silent on the tragedy and seems to have chosen not to give any money. Mas silence has infuriated many and over 50,000 people have gone online to 60 him for not opening up his sizeable pocket book. Their criticism, I think, is unfa
27、ir. By condemning Ma, the critics, themselves, are being uncharitable.Ma is a 61 person. A charity he controls gave over 14 billion yuan to worthy causes last year and will likely do the same this year. Whether some of this money finds its way to the Tianjin victims is 62 Ma: Will the money be used
28、wisely? Will it be effective, or are other charities and government agencies already providing 63 help for the victims? These are the questions that Ma is probably asking and they are the questions that everyone should ask themselves before making donations.As for Mas critics, they fall 64 of the se
29、cond definition of charity. They should be tolerant of other peoples decisions and actions, and not be so 65 to criticize. When it comes to charity, love and understanding are just as important as money.51. A. donate B. take C. borrow D. offer 52. A. contrary B. unavoidable C. voluntary D. acceptabl

She moves as elegantly through the hall of Londons Savoy as she does through the Amazon jungle. But while she loves the adventure, she is al
33、so glad to be back in “civilization”, at least for the moment.Shes just finished filming a TV series called jungle a demanding 19-week job that involved her exploring the dense jungles of the Congo, the Amazon and Borneo. She says that it was fascinating, but daunting as well. So what was her most c
34、hallenging experience? “Definitely climbing an 80-meter-high tree in Borneo, when Im scared of heights! I had to keep going up and up, when a voice inside me was saying, “Down! Down!” I kept thinking the ropes were going to break and send me plummeting down below.”And “down below” was where the bugs
35、 were. Apart from the usual mosquitoes, in the Amazon rainforest she was troubled by sand-fly bites. “Ive had some horrible bites but these really are the itchiest（最痒的）bites Ive ever had. At one stage, I counted 70 bites on one arm,” she says. “Just as annoying were the sweat bees in the Congo. They
36、 try to drink the sweat on your face and even the tears from your eyes. The most horrible thing, though, was trying to pull the slimy leeches（水蛭）off your skin. The more I pulled, the more they stretched and the tighter their jaws clung to my leg. I kept shouting, “Get them off!” and the film crew ke
37、pt saying, “Just a minute this makes a really good shot!”Charlottes journey into the heart of the worlds most significant rainforests was an inspiring experience. “The rainforest really is like a city. Each tree is like an urban highrise building with hundreds of residents. If you knock it down, you
38、 cause just as much disturbance and damage as if those residents were human. The jungle is extraordinary because although it only covers about 6 percent of the world, it contains over 50 percent of all known animal and plant species, plus lots more that are unknown, too.”2016 年 2 月 23 日复旦附中英语刘老师6Bac
39、k in London, what has she been enjoying since her return to “civilization”? “Ive been having lots of nice, long showers,” she says. “In the Congo, the possibility of using up our water supplies was always a worrying thought. And I find that when Ive been in hot, uncomfortable conditions for a while,

43、 world.Section BMapping AntarcticaAntarctica was on the map long before anyone ever laid eyes on it. Nearly 2,400 years ago, ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle believed that a great continent must exist at the bottom of the world. They thought it was needed to balance out the continents at
44、 the top of the world. In the 1500s, mapmakers often included a fanciful continent they referred to as Terra Incognita (Latin for “unknown land”) at the bottom of their maps. But it was not until the 1800s - after explorers had sighted and set foot on Antarctica - that mapmakers got down to the busi
45、ness of really mapping the continent, which is one-and-a-half times the size of the U.SWhile the coastline could be mapped by ships sailing around the continent, it took airplanes - and later, satellites - to chart Antarcticas vast interior (内陆). That job continues today. And it is a job that can st

He is a cartographer with the Polar Geospatial Center (PGC), which is based at the University of Minnesota and has a staff at McMurdo Station. PGC teamed
47、up with Google to use the companys Trekker technology to capture images of Antarctica for the Internet giants popular feature, Street View. A Trekker camera, which is the size of a basketball, is set about two feet above a backpack. The camera records images in all directions. “It weighs about 50 po
48、unds. I was out for two and a half days, hiking 10 to 12 hours each day,” says Kelleher. It was hard work, but really an incredible experience.” According to Kelleher there are plans to use the technology to create educational apps for museums.The PGC staff at McMurdo Station provides highly specialized mapmaking services for the U.S. Antarctic Program. For one project, Kelleher used satellite images to map huge cracks in the ice. That helped a team of researchers know
