Grace Hemingway gifted her son, Earnest, a copy of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s epic poem Hiawatha on his sixth birthday. While it’s hard to say how much her choice of gift influenced Earnest Hemingway at the time, he grew up to become one of the most famous writers in history.
Books can make for charming gifts. Giving a book as a gift to someone is much more than a simple exchange of goods.
When giving books, think about your recipients’ (接受者) favorite. It is worth the time to try and find a rare copy, like first editions or signed copies. They’ll be delighted by the effort. Are your friends stuck in a dullness and in need of some motivation You can gift them a book that offers inspiration. Also, not mainstream yet useful guides related to their career are helpful.
A book when received as a gift has meaning to the recipient by itself if you’ve put some thought into it. An inscription (题词) adds to the appeal of your gift by making it more individualized. Without an inscription, although still meaningful, the book is just a book indistinguishable from hundreds of thousands of copies out there. A case for not penning down an inscription is that it makes it easier for them to pass it on to someone else if they don’t like the book.
Wondering if you should give your recipient a hardcover or a paperback There is no universal preference among readers. Some like the paperbacks because of the convenience, easy to carry around and travel with. But many people, including me, prefer hardcovers because they’re more traditional and last much longer. A study designed to find a relation between the weight of wine bottles and their prices found that in most cases the weight of a wine bottle related positively with the price. The weight helped consumers perceive the wine as better.
In a word books can make for memorable gifts. A good book gifted thoughtfully will create a pleasant memory.
4. Why is Earnest Hemingway mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To share a book. B. To present a fact.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To make a comparison.
5. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Who the gift should be given. B. How a book should be presented.
C. Where a proper book can be found. D. What kinds of books can be chosen as gifts.
6. Why is an inscription advised to be included in a gifted book
A. To make the book more personal.
B. To record the giver’s reading experience.
C. To make the content of the book more appealing.
D. To allow the book to be more pleasing to the eye.
7. What does the author want to convey when it comes to the study about wine bottles
A. Good wine is all in heavier bottles.
B. The weight of a book determines its price.
C. A hardcover book is often valued more as a gift.
D. The price of wine depends on the quality of its bottle.

主旨大意题。根据第三段“When giving books, think about your recipients’ (接受者) favorite. It is worth the time to try and find a rare copy, like first editions or signed copies. They’ll be delighted by the effort. Are your friends stuck in a dullness and in need of some motivation You can gift them a book that offers inspiration. Also, not mainstream yet useful guides related to their career are helpful.(送书的时候，想想接受者最喜欢的。值得花时间去寻找一本稀有的书，比如初版或签名本。他们会为你的努力感到高兴。你的朋友是否陷入了沉闷，需要一些动力 你可以送给他们一本鼓舞人心的书。此外，与他们的职业相关的非主流但有用的指南也很有帮助)”可知，本段主要介绍了选择哪些种类的书可以作为礼物送给别人。故选D项。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Wondering if you should give your recipient a hardcover or a paperback There is no universal preference among readers.

A study designed to find a relation between the weight of wine bottles and their prices found that in most cases the weight of a wine bottle related positively with the price. The weight helped consumers perceive the wine as better.(想知道你应该给收信人一本精装书还是平装书 读者之间没有普遍的偏好。有些人喜欢平装书，因为它方便，便于携带和旅行。但很多人，包括我，更喜欢精装书，因为它们更传统，更耐用。一项旨在寻找酒瓶重量与价格之间关系的研究发现，在大多数情况下，酒瓶重量与价格呈正相关。重量有助于消费者认为葡萄酒更好)”作者提到一项关于酒瓶重量与价格之间关系的研究，发现酒瓶越重价格越高，这说明重量与质量、价值有关联。类比到书本，精装书比平装书更重，因此作为礼物时更受珍视。因此，作者想要传达的是精装书作为礼物更有价值。故选C项。

On Tuesday, Virgin Atlantic flew a large passenger jet from London to New York using 100% “Sustainable Aviation（航空） Fuel（SAF）”. The flight was meant to show that it’s possible to fly using cleaner fuels.
The fuel used on the flight was mainly made from used cooking oils and animal fats. A small part of the fuel was made from corn waste. Virgin Atlantic says that using SAF cuts the flight’s pollution by 70%. SAF still pollutes when it’s burned, just like regular jet fuel. However, the difference is in how the fuels are made.
SAF is made from plants （and related animal products） that once absorbed carbon dioxide （CO2） from the air. When SAF burns, it just releases this same CO2 again. That’s different from jet fuel, which is made from oil exploited from underground, releasing CO2 that was deeply buried.
SAF may sound great, but it still has many problems. For one thing, SAF costs five times as much as regular jet fuel. That helps explain why only one-tenth of 1% of the fuel airlines currently use is SAF. Virgin Atlantic is hoping that its flight will encourage more companies to produce SAF and that this will bring the price down.
But even if the price of SAF drops, critics say there are still big problems with it. They say it’s easy to make small amounts of SAF out of plant waste. But to make as much SAF as the airlines really need would require farmers to grow plants for fuel instead of for eating. This could also lead to more forests being cut down for farmland.
Airlines like SAF because it can be used now in existing planes with no changes. They hope it will help quickly reduce airplane pollution until non-polluting fuels are developed.
Governments seem to agree that SAF is a step in the right direction. Both the United States and the European Union have set targets that will sharply increase the use of SAF in coming years.
8. What makes SAF superior to regular jet fuels
A. Its production method. B. Being pollution-free.
C. Its storage technology. D. Being easy to burn.
9. What does the underlined word “exploited” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Destroyed. B. Replaced. C. Drawn. D. Checked.
10. Why are only a few fuel airlines using SAF
A. SAF is heavy. B. SAF is expensive.
C. SAF needs new equipment. D. SAF may cause safety issues.
11. What is governments’ probable attitude towards using SAF
A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了可持续航空燃料（SAF）的优缺点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段 “However, the difference is in how the fuels are made.”（ 然而，不同之处在于燃料是如何制造的。）和第三段“SAF is made from plants （and related animal products） that once absorbed carbon dioxide （CO2） from the air.”（ SAF是由植物(以及相关的动物产品)制成的，它们曾经从空气中吸收二氧化碳(CO2)。）可知，制作方法让SAF优于普通的喷气机燃料。故选A项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“That’s different from jet fuel, which is made from oil exploited from underground, releasing CO2 that was deeply buried.”（ 这与喷气燃料不同，喷气燃料是由地下exploited的石油制成的，释放出深埋在地下的二氧化碳。）可知，喷气燃料是由地下开采的石油制成的。故划线词的意思是与drawn“抽出”接近。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“For one thing, SAF costs five times as much as regular jet fuel.”（ 首先，SAF的价格是普通喷气燃料的五倍。）可知，SAF价格昂贵。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Governments seem to agree that SAF is a step in the right direction.”（ 各国政府似乎都同意SAF是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。）可知，政府对SAF是支持的。故选D项。
D
Have you ever wondered why you might be a little taller than your friends or family Well, scientists believe the mystery of why humans are growing taller and reaching puberty (青春期) earlier is due to something in the brain.
We already know that better nutrition leads to greater height as humans have been growing taller on the whole in recent centuries. Better nutrition also causes people to reach maturity faster. Genes (基因) also play a role in how tall we become and we all grow and look according to the codes in our DNA. A lack of nutrition makes it harder for us to reach the full potential of our own genes.
According to the University of Maryland, our body requires a certain amount of energy to make us grow. But a new study suggests that a brain receptor (感受器) could be responsible for our growth. The study showed that the brain receptor MC3R is responsible for signals from food reaching a part of the brain called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). The hypothalamus is responsible for keeping things in check like body temperature and adjusting appetite and weight.
MC3R’s not working properly tends to mean that people are shorter and start puberty much later. Professor Sir Stephen O’ Rahilly, one of the authors of the study, said, “It tells the body we’re great here and that we’ve got lots of food, so grow quickly and have puberty soon.”
There is a lot about the brain we still don’t know. But this research could lead to further development of drugs for children with delayed growth and puberty starting much later. More understanding of the receptor won’t mean that we can make ourselves taller. That all still depends on genes, but it could help people with long-lasting illnesses, who need to build up muscle.
12. What can we learn from the second paragraph
A. Genes lead to faster maturity. B. Nutrition determines a person’s height.
C. Improper nutrition changes one’s genes. D. Better nutrition is important to growing taller.
13. How does MC3R work to get you taller according to the new study
A By taking in a large amount of nutrition itself.
B. By having us check body temperatures regularly.
C. By helping us control our appetite to lose weight.
D. By sending signals to inspire us to have more nutrition.
14. What will the new finding most probably contribute to
A. Finding ways to put off kid’s puberty.
B. Treating patients with long-lasting illness.
C. Developing medicine for kids with delayed growth.
D. Finding scientific exercise to get our muscle stronger.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Why Are Some People Shorter Genes Are to Blame
B. Why Are Some People Shorter Nutrition Is to Blame
C. Why Are Some People Taller The Key Is in Our Brains
D. Why Are Some People Taller The Key Is in Our Appetite
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了有些人比别人高的奥秘——关键在大脑。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“We already know that better nutrition leads to greater height as humans have been growing taller on the whole in recent centuries. (我们已经知道，更好的营养导致更高的身高，因为近几个世纪来，人类的整体身高一直在增长)”可知，更好的营养导致更高的身高。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The study showed that the brain receptor MC3R is responsible for signals from food reaching a part of the brain called the hypothalamus (下丘脑).(但一项新的研究表明，大脑感受器可能负责我们的生长。研究表明，大脑感受器MC3R负责食物信号到达大脑的下丘脑)”以及第四段“Professor Sir Stephen O’ Rahilly, one of the authors of the study, said, “It tells the body we’re great here and that we’ve got lots of food, so grow quickly and have puberty soon.”(Stephen O’ Rahilly教授是这项研究的作者之一，他说:“它告诉身体我们在这里很好，我们有很多食物，所以快快成长，快快进入青春期。”)”可知，MC3R是通过发出信号到达大脑的下丘脑，激励我们摄入更多营养让我们更高的。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But this research could lead to further development of drugs for children with delayed growth and puberty starting much later.(但这项研究可能会导致针对发育迟缓和青春期开始较晚的儿童的药物的进一步开发)”可知，新的研究发现可能会为发育迟缓的儿童开发药物提供帮助。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Have you ever wondered why you might be a little taller than your friends or family Well, scientists believe the mystery of why humans are growing taller and reaching puberty (青春期) earlier is due to something in the brain.(你有没有想过为什么你可能比你的朋友或家人高一点？科学家们认为，人类长高并提前进入青春期的奥秘在于大脑中的某种东西)”可知，本文主要介绍有些人比别人高的奥秘——关键在大脑。C选项“为什么有些人更高？关键在于我们的大脑”最符合文章标题。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了陈卉丽致力于保护和修复重庆大足石刻圆觉洞的文物。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：陈卉丽是一名文化遗产监测员和导游，二十年来，她一直致力于保护重庆大足石刻中的圆觉洞石刻。monitor为可数名词，句中用的单数，所以前应用不定冠词修饰，cultural为辅音音素开头，用a修饰。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：在带游客参观时，陈痛苦地意识到时间对洞穴造成的严重破坏。空处修饰空后的形容词，用副词修饰，pain的副词形式是painfully。故填painfully。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：这个平顶洞穴缺乏东西来支撑它的重量。空前是形容词性物主代词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，weigh的名词形式是weight。故填weight。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：有了相关的知识和对保护雕塑的强烈渴望，陈加入了保护中心。此处是固定搭配：eagerness to do sth.意为“做某事的强烈愿望”。故填to save。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：随着时间的推移，陈的经验越来越丰富，最终形成了她独特的文化遗产保护方法。本句是as引导的时间状语从句，go作从句谓语，根据后文grew可知，用一般过去时。故填went。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：随着时间的推移，陈的经验越来越丰富，最终形成了她独特的文化遗产保护方法。approach to中的to为介词，后接动名词作宾语。故填protecting。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：迄今为止，她参与了许多重大项目，包括历时八年的千手观音修复工程。根据句中的时间状语so far可知，这里应用现在完成时。主语She和involve之间是动宾关系，所以应用被动语态，且主语为第三人称单数，所以谓语应用单数形式。be involved in意为“参与”。故填has been involved。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：在她的团队的努力下，水力铁框架等措施现已成功地用于支撑元爵洞的顶部。本句缺少主语，所以空处应填名词作主语，根据谓语动词have可知，measure应用复数形式。故填measures。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：尽管她取得了显著的成就，但她仍然不满足。根据空后的名词短语，这里应用介词。“her remarkable achievements”和“Chen remains unsatisfied”之间是让步关系，虽然陈取得了不错的成就，但她仍不满意，所以应用介词despite(尽管)。故填Despite。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：在她看来，提高技术在文化遗产保护中的作用，培养这方面的年轻人才是非常必要的。根据句意可知“to improve the role of technology in cultural heritage protection”和“to train young talent for this field”两者是并列关系，用and连接。故填and。

第二节 （满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Kim’s family moved frequently from one place to another due to his father’s profession. Kim had to start a new school every few years. Therefore, Kim’s school life was terrible. He didn’t have any best friends.
One day, Kim went to his classmate Rocky’s home. As soon as they entered the house, Rocky’s pet jumped on Rocky and started licking his face. Rocky said, “My doggy loves me very much. Animals can’t speak, but they have feelings, too.” His words were so touchy that Kim thought about keeping a pet.
Kim talked with his mother. She was afraid of dogs. She said that if Kim kept a dog at home, then it would be entirely his responsibility. The real task for Kim was his father. They were pure vegetarian. His father knew that animal needs meat for growth, which he never bought in the market. Therefore, he said a clear no to Kim’s demand.
One day, Kim saw a puppy in the park, who was in pain because of an injured ear. The puppy was weeping. Kim couldn’t stop himself and took it home. He took good care of it and decided to keep it permanently at home. When his father saw the dog, he scolded Kim, the little pup sitting in the corner and listening to them. Since Kim requested him a lot, finally, he agreed unwillingly.
Kim named that cute puppy Dooner. He trained Dooner and took care of his food, water, and cleanliness. Dooner and Kim became good friends. Everyone loved Dooner except Kim’s father. Every time his father got home, Dooner would hide somewhere in the house.
Then the day came when the results of the examination were declared. Kim failed in one subject, which made Kim’s father disappointed. He scolded Kim and even blamed Dooner for Kim’s failure.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Although Dooner had left the house for several days, he decided to pick up Kim’s father’s wallet on the ground of the market and returned it.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Dooner hid himself in the corner, listening to everything. He felt the tension in the air and understood that his presence was somehow connected to Kim’s scolding. With a heavy heart, Dooner decided to leave to prevent further trouble for Kim. That night, he quietly slipped out of the house and into the darkness. Kim woke up the next morning to find Dooner missing. He searched everywhere but found no trace of his beloved pet. Days later, as Dooner roamed the streets, he stumbled upon Kim’s father’s wallet lying on the ground at the market.
Although Dooner had left the house for several days, he decided to pick up Kim’s father’s wallet on the ground of the market and returned it. As he approached the house, he saw Kim’s father frantically searching for something. Understanding the situation, Dooner carefully placed the wallet at Kim’s father’s feet and barked to get his attention. Surprised and grateful, Kim’s father picked up the wallet and looked at Dooner with newfound respect. He realized that the dog was more than just a pet; he was a loyal and intelligent companion. From that day on, Kim’s father’s attitude towards Dooner changed, and he welcomed him back into their home with open arms.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Kim小时候经常搬家，这导致Kim没有什么朋友，总是感到很孤单。一天，Kim去同学家看到了同学的狗，很喜欢，也想养条狗，母亲很支持，但是却遭到了父亲的反对。几天后，当Kim在公园散步时，看到一只无家可归的小狗因为耳朵受伤而痛苦不堪。出于同情，Kim决定把小狗带回家。之后Kim给那只可爱的小狗起名叫Dooner，并和他成为了好朋友，但是一次Kim考试成绩很差，受到了父亲的责怪，甚至把Kim的失败归咎于Dooner。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Dooner躲在角落里，听着一切。”知，第一段可描写Dooner不想因为自己使得Kim被父亲责骂，所以离家出走。
②由第二段首句内容“虽然Dooner已经离开家好几天了，但他还是决定在市场的地上捡起Kim父亲的钱包并把它还给他。”可知，第二段可描写因为Dooner的善举，父亲对Dooner的态度改变了。
2. 续写线索：带回家——照顾——成为朋友——成绩下降，父亲责怪——离家出走——看到钱包——归还钱包——父亲态度改变。

At Beaver Creek, The Extraordinary Awaits You Are no two snowflakes alike The snowflakes we see in the winter are most likely completely unique from one other. Beaver Creek is a great place to experience the beauty of the snow, with programs for everyone—from children, teens, and women-only lessons to small groups and private-guided experiences. First Track, from Beaver Creek Reserve, lets you be the first on the mountain, with an adventure that begins at 7:30 a.m. when you are met by ski professionals and taken on a private, guided tour—before the mountain is open to the public. Once you have skied, you are treated to a delicious breakfast at Allie’s Cabin. If you are looking for a higher level of comfort there is the White Carpet Club, from Beaver Creek Reserve. Located in the heart of Beaver Creek Village, it maximizes your time on the mountain by streamlining your access to it. At the club, there are private lockers and boot dryers, along with preferred self-parking and a slope-side ski waiter. A receptionist can assist with lift tickets, pass purchases, dinner reservations, and activity recommendations. Of course, there is more to explore during the winter in Beaver Creek as well. There is ice skating, snowshoeing, shopping, and spas—you name it, Beaver Creek has it. It is the perfect place to take advantage of the snow and be in the moment, in the mountains, together. The extraordinary is a rare combination of one-of-a-kind experiences designed to be shared with service that exceeds expectation. The extraordinary brings you closer to one another and offers a special place to belong together. Belong in The Extraordinary.

Grace Hemingway gifted her son, Earnest, a copy of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s epic poem Hiawatha on his sixth birthday. While it’s hard to say how much her choice of gift influenced Earnest Hemingway at the time, he grew up to become one of the most famous writers in history.
Books can make for charming gifts Giving a book as a gift to someone is much more than a simple exchange of goods.
When giving books, think about your recipients’ (接受者) favorite. It is worth the time to try and find a rare copy, like first editions or signed copies. They’ll be delighted by the effort. Are your friends stuck in a dullness and in need of some motivation You can gift them a book that offers inspiration. Also, not mainstream yet useful guides related to their career are helpful.
A book when received as a gift has meaning to the recipient by itself if you’ve put some thought into it. An inscription (题词) adds to the appeal of your gift by making it more individualized. Without an inscription, although still meaningful, the book is just a book indistinguishable from hundreds of thousands of copies out there. A case for not penning down an inscription is that it makes it easier for them to pass it on to someone else if they don’t like the book.
Wondering if you should give your recipient a hardcover or a paperback There is no universal preference among readers. Some like the paperbacks because of the convenience, easy to carry around and travel with. But many people, including me, prefer hardcovers because they’re more traditional and last much longer. A study designed to find a relation between the weight of wine bottles and their prices found that in most cases the weight of a wine bottle related positively with the price. The weight helped consumers perceive the wine as better.
In a word, books can make for memorable gifts. A good book gifted thoughtfully will create a pleasant memory.
4. Why is Earnest Hemingway mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To share a book. B. To present a fact.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To make a comparison.
5. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Who the gift should be given. B. How a book should be presented.
C. Where a proper book can be found. D. What kinds of books can be chosen as gifts.
6. Why is an inscription advised to be included in a gifted book
A. To make the book more personal.
B. To record the giver’s reading experience.
C. To make the content of the book more appealing.
D. To allow the book to be more pleasing to the eye.
7. What does the author want to convey when it comes to the study about wine bottles
A. Good wine is all in heavier bottles.
B. The weight of a book determines its price.
C. A hardcover book is often valued more as a gift.
D. The price of wine depends on the quality of its bottle.

On Tuesday, Virgin Atlantic flew a large passenger jet from London to New York using 100% “Sustainable Aviation（航空） Fuel（SAF）”. The flight was meant to show that it’s possible to fly using cleaner fuels.
The fuel used on the flight was mainly made from used cooking oils and animal fats. A small part of the fuel was made from corn waste. Virgin Atlantic says that using SAF cuts the flight’s pollution by 70%. SAF still pollutes when it’s burned, just like regular jet fuel. However, the difference is in how the fuels are made.
SAF is made from plants （and related animal products） that once absorbed carbon dioxide （CO2） from the air. When SAF burns, it just releases this same CO2 again. That’s different from jet fuel, which is made from oil exploited from underground, releasing CO2 that was deeply buried.
SAF may sound great, but it still has many problems. For one thing, SAF costs five times as much as regular jet fuel. That helps explain why only one-tenth of 1% of the fuel airlines currently use is SAF. Virgin Atlantic is hoping that its flight will encourage more companies to produce SAF and that this will bring the price down.
But even if the price of SAF drops, critics say there are still big problems with it. They say it’s easy to make small amounts of SAF out of plant waste. But to make as much SAF as the airlines really need would require farmers to grow plants for fuel instead of for eating. This could also lead to more forests being cut down for farmland.
Airlines like SAF because it can be used now in existing planes with no changes. They hope it will help quickly reduce airplane pollution until non-polluting fuels are developed.
Governments seem to agree that SAF is a step in the right direction. Both the United States and the European Union have set targets that will sharply increase the use of SAF in coming years.
8. What makes SAF superior to regular jet fuels
A. Its production method. B. Being pollution-free.

Have you ever wondered why you might be a little taller than your friends or family Well, scientists believe the mystery of why humans are growing taller and reaching puberty (青春期) earlier is due to something in the brain.
We already know that better nutrition leads to greater height as humans have been growing taller on the whole in recent centuries. Better nutrition also causes people to reach maturity faster. Genes (基因) also play a role in how tall we become and we all grow and look according to the codes in our DNA. A lack of nutrition makes it harder for us to reach the full potential of our own genes.
According to the University of Maryland, our body requires a certain amount of energy to make us grow. But a new study suggests that a brain receptor (感受器) could be responsible for our growth. The study showed that the brain receptor MC3R is responsible for signals from food reaching a part of the brain called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). The hypothalamus is responsible for keeping things in check like body temperature and adjusting appetite and weight.
MC3R’s not working properly tends to mean that people are shorter and start puberty much later. Professor Sir Stephen O’ Rahilly, one of the authors of the study, said, “It tells the body we’re great here and that we’ve got lots of food, so grow quickly and have puberty soon.”
There is a lot about the brain we still don’t know. But this research could lead to further development of drugs for children with delayed growth and puberty starting much later. More understanding of the receptor won’t mean that we can make ourselves taller. That all still depends on genes, but it could help people with long-lasting illnesses, who need to build up muscle.
12. What can we learn from the second paragraph
A. Genes lead to faster maturity. B. Nutrition determines a person’s height.
C. Improper nutrition changes one’s genes. D. Better nutrition is important to growing taller.
13. How does MC3R work to get you taller according to the new study
A. By taking in a large amount of nutrition itself.
B. By having us check body temperatures regularly.
C. By helping us control our appetite to lose weight.
D. By sending signals to inspire us to have more nutrition.
14. What will the new finding most probably contribute to
A. Finding ways to put off kid’s puberty.
B. Treating patients with long-lasting illness.
C. Developing medicine for kids with delayed growth.
D. Finding scientific exercise to get our muscle stronger.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Why Are Some People Shorter Genes Are to Blame
B. Why Are Some People Shorter Nutrition Is to Blame
C Why Are Some People Taller The Key Is in Our Brains
D. Why Are Some People Taller The Key Is in Our Appetite
