When she and her twin sister, Miriam, arrived in the Auschwitz death camp, they were met by Josef Mengele and became part of the cruel scientists experiments. Groning was a junior squad(小队)leader at the camp.While Groning could argue he was not directly responsible for procedures carried out on twins, nor for the mass murder of so many others, he played a critical role in the effort to kill Jews.After the war Groning led an ordinary, quiet life until he became alarmed by the rise of Holocaust deniers. He went public with his role and in September 2014 was charged as an accessory(从犯) to murder.When Groning went on trial in April 2015, Eva Mozes Kor was called as a witness. After her session, she walked straight up to the 93-year-old former Nazi and shook his hand.Eva Mozes Kor will never forget nor excuse what the Nazis did. Her two books make that clear： Surviving the Angel of Death and the earlier Echoes from Auschwitz. She has also spent her post-war years drawing attention to the Holocaust, in the hope of preventing a repeat of its horrors.At the same time, she is dedicated(致力)to healing rather than revenge. As she wrote in a Facebook post:Forgiving dots not mean forgettingwe all want to prevent these things from ever happening again. Forgiveness is about self-healing, self-liberation, and seif-empowerment. Lets all work together to teach the world how to heal.As a survivor suffering so much, Eva Mozes Kor is a role model for the kind of forgiveness that mends souls, a forgiveness that carries with it the responsibility to work for a world in which such horrors no longer happen.24. At the camp, Groning _.A. killed many Jews directlyB.treated Eva Mozes Kor badlyC.experimented on Eva Mozes KorD. contributed to killing more Jews25. Facing Holocaust deniers again, Groning felt _.A. amazed B. upset C. fearful D. quiet26. Why did Eva Mozes Kor shake hands with Groning?A. To show her mercy.B. To appreciate his justice.C. To expect to forgive him.D. To encourage others to follow her.27. What is the authors attitude to Kva Mozes Kors forgiveness?A. Objective. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.CBlue-eyed people have been living in Europe for at least 7,000 year, scientists have discovered.A man who lived on the Iberian Peninsula before Europeans became farmers probably had blue eyes but dark hair and skin, according to scientists who have sequenced(按序排列)his DNA. This surprising combination of eye, hair and skin coloring may not have unusual during his lifetime, but it is no longer seen among modern Europeans, reported by the journal Nature.The man, a Neolithic hunter-gatherer known to scientists as La Brana I, is of great interest to scientists because he offers a snapshot (简况) of what was in Europeans DNA before agriculture spread through the continent. Experts have theorized that certain genetic feature spread quickly among humans after they adopted the farming lifestyle. La Brana I shows that at least some of their predictions were correct.The mans skeleton, along with that of a male companion, was discovered in 2006 in a cave in what is now northeastern Spain. The site, known as La Brana Arintero, sits about 5,000 feet above sea level, and the cave provided a cold, refrigerator like environment that preserved his DNA.In the lab, scientists were able to remove enough DNA from a single tooth to reconstruct La Brana Is entire genome(基因组).They compared it to the DNA of other ancient Europeans (including Otzi, the 5,300-year-old mummy found in an Alpine glacier) and determined that he was a closer match with hunter gatherers than with farmers.When it came to genes that would influence La Brana Is appearance, the researchers found that their 7,000-year-old subject had versions of two skin pigment(色素) genes that either very rare or nonexistent among Europeans today. Then they looked at other places in the genome that influence pigmentation(色素沉着)and found a mix of ancient and modern gene variants(变种).Taken together, La Brana Is DNA “is likely to have resulted in dark skin pigmentation and dark or brown hair,” they wrote.However, his DNA indicates that his eyes were most likely blue, the scientists found. This suggests that gene variants for light-colored eyes and skin did not spread together, they wrote, adding that La Brana Is combination “of dark skin and non brown eyes is unique and no longer present in contemporary European populations. ” Today, a blue-eyed person would typically have fair skin.To get some idea of whether La Brana Is coloring was unusual for his day, the researchers will try to sequence the DNA of his companion, who has been named La Brana II.28. Why are scientists interested in La Brana I?A.They can know Europeans DNA.B.They can know the ancient agriculture in Europe.C.They can know European hunter gatherers DNA.D.They can know some of their predictions were correct.29. La Brana I remains as it was due to _.A.dry weatherB. a cold conditionC. proper protectionD. a high cave30. Which of the following is TRUE? A.La Brana Is gene variants spread together.B.La Brana Is DNA influences his appearance.C. La Brana Is appearance influences contemporary Europeans.D. La Brana Is gene is completely different from the contemporary Europeans.31. What does the last paragraph suggest?A. La Brana II has the same genome with La Brana I.B.Blue-eyed people were common in Europe 7,000 years ago.C.La Brana Is combination of dark skin and non-brown eyes is unique.D.It s not certain that La Branas appearance was common at that time.DThe huge explosion in Tianjin is only a symptom of a much bigger problem paguing(折磨)China today! Laws are often not enforced(执行), or are enforced half-heartedly. The law clearly prohibits storage of dangerous goods and chemicals within a certain radius of residential areas, and there must be strict adherence(坚持)to rules on storage and transportation, etc. The fact that this accident occurred so close to residential areas, resulting in devastating damage to homes and serious injuries to residents, shows that the law was not strictly enforced. Whoever approved the sitting of that logistic plant(物流工厂)in that particular area has a lot to answer for. Often, officials come to take action only after lives are lost.Another case in point is the unfortunate death of a young mother in the escalator accident in a shopping mail recently. Problems with elevators and escalators have been around for ages, and residents have made countless complaints, but to no avail. After the accident, city officials fan out all over the country checking on escalators for faults, and many escalators have been shut down for repairs.This kind of action is a kneejerk reaction (习惯反应)to a serious disaster! There are many disasters waiting to happen. And all are due to weak or non-existent enforcement. For instance, its well known that many residents add an extra floor to the roof-top of their apartment bocks, endangering the safety of the block, while others dig into their ground floor units to create an extra basement living area, hacking away concrete slabs and cutting steel bars which are the basic foundation of the building, seriously jeodardizing(危害) its safety. Neighbors complain, city officials come round and leave, saying they cant do anything as the owner wouldnt open his door for an inspection! They would often leave a note on the owners door telling him to stop construction, but true to form, the owner just ignores it. This is the kind of enforcement we see so often in China.What is urgently needed in China is a complete overhaul (大修) of the enforcement practice, with every official held accountable for his failure to enforce the law strictly! Why wait till lives arc lost before acting?32. What does the fact that the huge explosion in Tianjin resulted in serious injuries show?A.It is very difficult to enforce laws.B.People are not aware of the danger.C.The law was not strictly enforced.D.There is no law for ensuring us safe.33. In what purpose do some residents dig into their ground floor units according to the passage?A.To follow their neighbors.B.To create an extra basement living area.C.To protect themselves safe.D.To add an extra floor to the roof-top of their apartment bocks.34. How did the author develop the passage?A.Topic-Argument Explanation.B. Opinion-Discussion Description.C. Main ides Comparison Supporting examples.D.Introduction-Supporting examples-Conclusion.35. The author wrote the passage to _.A.blame some officialsB. make a complaintC.call on acting before lives are lostD. urge that more law should be made第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Start Your Day RightWhat we do in our day, how we act, and how we react to situations and to people, is equally important to how we start our day.
