This time I will give him a big surprise,” I thought.When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over. To my surpr ise, all the questions were different. Later I felt nervous.

It is usually believed that both genes(基因)and environment may affect(影响)people’s temperaments in different ways . But now scientists have found that the season of birth also pla ys a role.②Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 univers ity students. In the study, the students needed to finish a quest ionnaire(问卷 ). The purpose of it was to find out which of four ki nds of temperaments they most had. From the questionnaire, scient ists found that the students always answered something like “My m ood often changes for no reason” and “I love to deal with new pro jects, even if it is risky”. These answers were then matched with their birthdays.③They discovered that people born in summer easi ly change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.④The study also found that those born in autumn less p robably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to c ry, while those born in winter were not easier to be angry.⑤Scien tists said that this was probably because the seasons had an infl uence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals a re important to control people’s moods even in adult life.⑥“It se ems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance o f developing certain mood disorders(紊乱), ” lead scientist Xenia G onda told The Telegraph.38.

What’s the best title for this passage?A. Seasons and Moods B. The Influence of Genes C. Moods and Health D. The Importance of Birthplaces五、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共 10 分,每小题 2 分)Loan wordsOur class project last month was to find out more about loan words, words w hich are borrowed by one language from another.There are thousand s of loan words in English, because English is influenced by a va riety of different languages, and, for that reason, it has a huge number of loanwords. It is said that 80 percent of English words come from other languages. Some speakers prefer using foreign wo rds and phrases in place of English ones—they think they sound mo re interesting.Two Asian languages which have a lot of loan words are Japanese and Korean. Most of the loan words in Japanese come from Chinese and English. Chinese words, and the Chinese charact ers, first came into the Japanese language more than 1,000 years ago. Chinese characters which are used in Japanese are called kan ji, and many Chinese Kanji have different meanings or pronunciati ons, as well as occasionally being written slightly differently.I n recent times, Japanese has also borrowed many words from Portug uese, German (especially medical words), French and Italian (espe cially words about music and food). Non- Chinese loan words are w ritten in another alphabet, called katakana.There are also a lot of Chinese words and characters in Korean. More recently, Korean has also taken a lot of words from English. However, when they ar e used in Korean, the meanings of many words and expressions chan ge. For example, the English word “dessert” means something sweet that you eat at the end of a meal. In Korean, the word now means something you drink at the end of a meal—tea, coffee or a soft d rink.42. What are loan words?_______________43. Why does English have a huge number of loan words?_______________44. When did Chin ese words first come into the Japanese language?_______________45 .
