11.Are you happy most of the time?Or do you easily get angry sometimes?Everyone has a different temperament(脾氣).It is usually believed that both genes(基因) and environment may influence people's temperament in different ways.Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role.
Scientists from Budapest,Hungary,studied 400 university students.In the study,the students needed to finish some questions to know which of four kinds of temperaments they most had.From the questions,scientists found that the students always answered something like"My mood(情緒) often changes for no reason."and"I love to deal with new projects,even if it is risky."These answers were then connected with their birthdays.
They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared 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 fall less probably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to cry,while those in winter were not easier to be angry.
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body.And the chemicals are important to control people's moods even in adult life."It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your change of developing certain mood disorders."scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.

根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容判斷正(T)誤(F)
51.Ages probably may influence people's temperaments according to the Paragraph 1.F
52.The underlined the word"depression"most probably means sadness.T
53.The answers to the questions of the study were matched with their birthdays.T
54.People born in winter get sad or happy more easily.F
55.The best title of this passage is"The Influence of Genes".F.

分析 這篇短文主要通過實驗講述人的脾氣不但受人的基因和環(huán)境影響,而且人出生的季節(jié)也起作用.研究表明,夏天出生的人比冬天出生的人情緒易變.研究還發(fā)現(xiàn),秋天出生的人極少有可能出現(xiàn)消極情緒,而冬天出生的人不容易生氣.這也許是人體內(nèi)化學(xué)變化起作用的結(jié)果.即使對成年人來說,化學(xué)物質(zhì)仍是控制人們的情緒的重要因素.

解答 51.答案:F;細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)短文第一段"It is usually be1ieved that both genes (基因) and environment may affect people's temperaments in different ways.But now scientists have found that the season of birth also plays a role."的描述可知,年齡不可能影響人的脾氣.故填F.
52.答案:T;詞義猜測題.根據(jù)下文"which may easily drive them to cry,"的描述可知,這里指的是秋天出生的人極少有可能出現(xiàn)消極情緒.故這里的depression指的是sadness沮喪.故填T;
53.答案:T;細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)短文These answers were then connected with their birthdays的描述可知,這項研究的問題的答案與他們的生日相匹配.故填T;
54.答案:F;主旨大意題.根據(jù)短文They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter的描述可知,冬天出生的人與夏天出生的人相比,不容易悲傷或快樂;故填F.
55.答案:F;標題歸納題.根據(jù)短文Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role等內(nèi)容描述可知,這篇短文主要通過實驗講述了季節(jié)對人的情緒的影響,即Seasons and Moods,不是基因的影響;故填F.

點評 通讀全文,了解文中所敘述的重要事實或細節(jié),結(jié)合題目要求作出正確解答.

1."Everything happens for the best,"my mother said whenever I faced disappointment."If you can carry on,one day something good will happen."
After graduating from college in 1932,I decided to try for a job in radio,then work my way up to sports announcer(播音員).I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station.But I was refused every time.In one studio,a nice lady told me that big stations didn't want to accept inexperienced persons."Go to the countryside and find a small station that'll give you a chance,"she said.
I returned home,Dixon in Illinois.While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon,my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department.Since I had played high school football in Dixon,I applied(申請).The job sounded just right for me.But I still failed in the interview.At that moment,mom's words came to my mind:"Everything happens for the best."Dad offered me a car to look for a job.I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa.The program director,named Peter MacArthur,told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office,I felt sad.I asked aloud,"How can a man become a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?"
I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling,"What did you say about sports?Do you know anything about football?"Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game.As a result,I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday's game!
On my way home,I thought of my mother's words again:"Everything happens for the best if you carry on.One day something good will happen."
