答案：D 考查形容词辨析。句中的every Sunday at 7说明有规律的，故选D，而A项“通常的”；B项“普遍的”；C项“平均的”均不合句意。另外，regular as clockwork表示“准时地”属固定短语。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
A
Because of different instruments, materials and cultural backgrounds, Chinese paintings have their own image and content in comparison to other types of paintings like Western paintings. Unique appearance of Chinese painting owes much to the use of the Chinese writing brush and the Chinese paper. There are four essential elements used in the creation of Chinese painting, the brush, ink, paper, and the ink stone. Without any of them the job can't be done.
For Chinese painting, the special pedagogy (教学法), the close relationship with the painter's personality and the unique Chinese philosophy are the most important. The painters are trained not only to convey the object but also the mood and spirit of the subject. The Chinese believe that the painting is also the expression of the painter's knowledge and temperament (性情). In this way, Chinese painting becomes something much more than art.
The most essential philosophy of China is the unity of heaven, earth and human beings. What the Chinese painters are trying to express is not something that meets their eyes, but their attitude to the great nature. They have a profound love and admiration for nature.
In the same theme the Chinese painters may spend hours contemplating (沉思) and drawing inspiration from the figures of nature. From the small or simple creatures that are chosen as subjects of art work, we can see how they enjoy the nature and their love devoted to the most humble things.
The Chinese painters find it unpleasant to contemplate and draw the human figure by itself. Human beings are part of the surroundings. They are all together. That is why Chinese paintings are simple in composition and full of harmony, overall balance and peace with all of creation. They are interested in the mood and spirit.
1．What mainly contributes to the unique appearance of Chinese paintings? A．The cultural background. B．The special pedagogy. C．The painting instruments.
D．The close relationship with nature.
答案：C 细节理解题。关键句是第一段中的“Unique appearance of Chinese painting owes much to the use of the Chinese writing brush and the Chinese paper.” writing brush和paper属于画画的工具，所以答案为C。
2．All of the following are important factors in Chinese painting EXCEPT ________. A．the teaching methods B．the Chinese philosophy
C．the personality of the painter D．the mood and spirit of the subject
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句话“For Chinese painting, the special pedagogy, the close relationship with the painter's personality and the unique Chinese philosophy are the most important.”可得知答案为D。
3．Why is Chinese painting considered as something more than art? A．It conveys the most essential philosophy of China. B．It expresses the painter's knowledge and temperament. C．It encourages the painters to love and admire nature.
D．It is simple in composition but full of harmony and balance.
答案：D 细节理解题。由第二段中的“The Chinese believe that the painting is also the expression of the painter's knowledge and temperament.”可知，因为国画同时也表达了绘画者的知识和性情，所以它不仅仅是艺术。故答案为B。
4．What is the Chinese painters' attitude towards only drawing the human figure? A．Disapproving. B．Acceptable. C．Excited. D．Doubtful.
答案：A 细节理解题。根据最后一段，尤其是第一、二句可知，国画画家认为单独画人物形象是unpleasant，所以答案为A。
5．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．the influence of Chinese painting
B．some basic information about Chinese painting
C．the relationship between Chinese painting and nature
D．the differences between Chinese painting and Western painting
答案：B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章从一些基本理论和知识角度介绍了国画，所以答案为B。
B
An Australian-based scientist announced yesterday he had made a step forward in forensic
(用于法庭的) DNA testing so that an individual can be identified by a single cell.
Ian Findlay, from the Australian Genome Research Facility at the University of Queensland, said current DNA testing required 200 to 500 cells to gain a similar level of accuracy. “What we have done has brought that down to one cell，” Dr. Findlay said after releasing details of his DNA testing technique at a Sydney conference.
The technology could allow investigators to pick up DNA identities from plastic cards and even build up a complete history of the people who have handled a paper document.
“You'd have to wear a space suit to stop yourself from leaving traces. You can identify cells on the paper, so you can work out where it's come from and who's touched it，” he said.
The technique could also be used to trace the thrower of a punch from cells left behind on the skin of his victim. Even the wearing of latex gloves would not help; small cells can pass through the gloves, and the constant flow of genetic material given off by the human body would leave further evidence.
“We gained a skin cell from a document dating back 30 years and managed to gain a DNA fingerprint. DNA evidence can remain fresh for decades, perhaps even centuries，” Dr. Findlay said. “ The potential for this technology to solve unsolved crimes is great，” he said.
But Dr. Findlay, named scientist of the year in 1998 by the European Society of Human Genetics, said the new testing needed to be scientifically validated,_which would take up to five years.
He said, “There are serious consequences taking on technologies too early. The public have to be sure that they have the utmost confidence in the security and court systems.”
6．The main advantage of the new technology is that ______. A．a single cell can identify an individual
B．it has brought down the cost of DNA testing
C．a higher level of accuracy can be acquired with a single cell D．it needs less than 200 cells to gain a certain level of accuracy
答案：A 细节理解题。第一段告诉我们，新技术领先一步(也就是其优势)就在于：能通过一个细胞识别一个人的身份 。
7．The underlined word “validated” means “________”． A．confirmed B．imagined C．supposed D．criticized
答案：A 词义猜测题。由下文“...take up to five years”可以看出，Dr. Findlay认为这项测试还需长达5年的进一步的科学证实，所以该词和confirm同义。
8．According to Ian Findlay, the new technology can ______.
A．help to keep DNA evidence fresh for decades and even centuries B．make the process of tracing the thrower much more simplified C．help to pick up DNA identities more easily D．be widely used in five years at most
答案：C 推断题。由第二段Ian Findlay所说的话可知，新技术把DNA测试所使用的细胞由200到500个减少到1个，所以可以推断出使DNA的采集容易多了。
9．The last paragraph suggests that ________.
A．the immediate adopting of the technology may cause mistakes B．the public have acknowledged the new testing technology C．it is safe to put the new technology into use now
D．Dr. Findlay is quite sure of his new technology
答案：A 推断题。这一段告诉我们太早采用(adopt)该技术会(因出错而)引起严重的后果。
10．The aim of the passage is to ________. A．praise Ian Findlay for his work B．report a piece of interesting news
C．inform us of the wide use of DNA testing D．tell us a recent improvement in DNA testing
答案：D 主旨大意题。综观全文，文章重点向我们介绍了澳大利亚正在进行的一项有关DNA测试所取得的巨大进步：由一个细胞确定一个人的身份的研究成果。

Recently, the students of Senior 3 in our school have had a discussion about whether we should have classes on weekends.
30% of them think they should have classes on weekends because the college entrance examinations will be held in June, and students should make full use of free time to review what they have learnt.
Another 30% are against the idea of having classes on weekends. They believe students should have a good rest on weekends so that they can study more effectively during the weekdays.
The other 40% of the students don't agree with either of the ideas above. In their opinion, study and rest are both important for students. They suggest one day of the weekend should be used to study and the other day to have a rest.
