9．Dubai is a city of big business，expensive hotels，skyscrapers （摩天樓），and shopping malls．In the early 20th century，Dubai was a successful trading port．People from the world stopped in Dubai to do business．But it was still a small city，and most people lived as fishermen and businessmen．Then in 1966，oil was discovered．This brought a lot of money into the area，and soon Dubai began to change．
Today Dubai is one of the world's most important business centers．In fact，each year the city gets its money mainly from business，not oil．
Recently Dubai has attracted more and more visitors from abroad．They come to relax on its beaches，and every year，millions visit just to go shopping!
Dubai is also one of the world's fastest growing cities．Many tall buildings are built in months．The city also has many man-made islands．One of these，the Palm Jumeirah，is like a palm tree and is very beautiful．
The city is still an amazing mix of people from different countries．People from 150countries live and work in Dubai，and foreigners now outnumber Dubai natives by eight to one!
Many people welcome the city's growth．But an increasing number of Dubai natives worry about the speed of change．As a Dubai native says，"We must always remember where we came from．Our kids must know we worked very，very hard to get where we are now，and there's a lot more work to do．"

21．Why did people stop in Dubai in the early 20th century？D
A．To relax．  B．To buy oil．  C．To go shopping．  D．To do business．
22．In the last paragraph，what does the underlined part mean？C
A．We should always visit Dubai．
B．We should learn from foreigners．
C．We must always remember our past．
D．We don't have to worry about the future．
23．What's the main idea of the passage？A
A．Dubai is growing very fast．
B．Dubai was a big city before 1966．
C．Many tall buildings are built in months．
D．Many tourists come to relax on Dubai's beaches．

Last Friday we have a discussion about whether it is the only way out for senior students to go to college．Views vary from person to person．The majority of us consider this very necessary to go to college．They think it can be widen their knowledge and improve their qualities．Only in this way can they find better jobs before graduation．Very few students think it no use go to university，because the tuition is too high for their family to afford．What's more，it's rather hard for college graduates to seek satisfied jobs．Thirty percents of the students，however，believe"All roads lead Rome．"Therefore，it doesn't make some difference whether they go to college or not．

4．Throughout the world，clothing has many uses．It is used to provide protection from cold．It is also worn to prevent others from seeing specific parts of one's body．However，the parts of the body that must be covered vary widely throughout the world．Some clothing is worn to provide supernatural protection．Wearing a lucky shirt to take an exam is calling for supernatural assistance．
People in all cultures use clothing and other forms of bodily decoration to communicate status（身份），intentions and other messages．In North America，we dress differently for business and various leisure activities．North American women usually are much more knowledgeable of little difference in messages communicated by clothes than men．At times，this leads to silly mistakes of understanding of female intentions on the part of men．Of course，clothing styles also are intended to communicate messages to members of the same gender（性別）．
Long before we are near enough to talk to someone，their appearance tells their gender，age，economic class，and often even intentions．We begin to recognize the important cultural clues at an early age．The vocabulary of dress that we learn includes not only items of clothing but also hairstyles，jewelry，and other body decoration．In most cultures，however，the same style of dress communicates different messages depending on the age，gender，and physical appearance of the individual wearing it．
Putting on certain types of clothing can change your behavior and the behavior of others towards you．This can be the case with a doctor's white lab coat，or an army uniform．Most uniforms are clearly symbolic so that they can rapidly and unmistakably communicate status．For instance，the strange hairstyle and clothing of the English"punks"are essential aspects of their uniforms．
There are many forms of body decoration other than clothes that are used around the world to send messages．These include body and hair paint，and even body deformation．When doctors put braces on teeth，they are actually doing the same thing-deforming or reforming a part of the body to make it more attractive．
33．Which of the following is the best title for this passage？D
A．Clothing and Culture
B．Ways of Sending Message
C．Clothing and Social Behavior
D．Communication through Clothing
34．Some people wear lucky shirts to take an exam because they believeB．
A．clothes can hide t heir fear for the exam
B．clothes have extraordinary power
C．shirts can make them more comfortable
D．shirts provide protection against bad weather
35．From the passage，it can be inferred thatA．
A．clothing plays an important role in social activities
B．words of dress are unable to communicate different messages
C．dress is better than language in communicating messages
D．messages communicated by clothes are the same in different cultures．

1．（36）E
Britain may be the most red-headed country in the world．About 1to 2percent of the world's population has red hair，but in the UK the numbers are much higher，with 13percent of Scots，10percent of the Irish，and 6percent of people in England having red hair，according to the BBC．
（37）G
Scientists have tried to explain why some people have red hair for some time and now they may have found an answer：the dull weather in Britain．The human body needs vitamin D from sunshine，but unfortunately people living in Britain do not have enough of it because of its maritime climate．In fact，Britain gets even more cloud than countries in the far north of Europe．In Sweden，for example，the average daily hours of sunshine is 5.4．In Scotland it is only 3.1hours．
（38）D
To deal with this，the DNA of people living in these areas has changed slightly； scientists call this a mutation．Originally，the coloring on our body is a mixture of two kinds of melanin-black melanin is suppressed while only red/yellow melanin is made．The result is red hair，light skin color，freckles and a greater sensitivity to sunlight．
（39）C
However，what's more interesting is that the redhead DNA mutation is recessive，which means it is hidden and can often skip generations without showing．At least 1.6million Scots carry a redhead gene mutation，and most are unaware that they do．This is why a person who does not have red hair can still produce red-haired children if he or she is a carrier of this special DNA．
（40）B
The research on red hair，like many areas of science，is contradictory（不一致）．In 2002researchers showed that redheads are more sensitive to pain，and need more anesthetic during surgery than people with blonde or dark hair．However，in 2005scientists found that a MCRIR mutation gives redheads a higher tolerance for pain．Research into these aspects of red hair genetics continues．Redheads should though be more careful about their exposure to sunlight as they are at an increased risk of contracting skin cancer．If you are a redhead，the advice is not to stay out of the sun，but to be careful about how much exposure you get，and to cover yourself with a high factor sunscreen．

A．Redheads'benefits
B．Divided opinions
C．Inheriting（遺傳） characteristics
D．Gene mutation（基因變異）
E．Home of the redheads
F．Various weather types
G．Weather is to blame．
