Gerge Shull was brn in 1874 n a farm in Clark Cunty, Ohi, and his knwledge f plants and hybrids came at an early age. Being needed n the farm, Shull received his early frmal educatin ff and n. Hwever, it was supplemented(增补) by intense hme study s that by 1892he was teaching in a public schl, and later attending Antich Cllege.
In 1901, he graduated frm Antich and went t the University f Chicag t d graduate wrk. With his knwledge f btany and experience with farming practices, Shull passed a Civil Service exam, and was appinted as a btanical assistant at the U. S. Natinal Herbarium. After earning her dctrate, he was appinted t be in charge f plant wrk at the Statin fr Experimental Evlutin in 1904.
He began wrking n crn in 1905. Fllwing Gregr Mendel’s example, Shull btained purebred(纯种的) strains f crn thrugh self-pllinatin. The purebred strains were less healthy and prductive, but when he crssed the purebred strains, the hybrid yields were better than any f the parents r thse pllinated in the pen fields. He immediately recgnized the ptential fr using this strategy t imprve crp yields.
In 1915, Shull accepted a prfessrship at Princetn University. With his encuragement, Princetn University Press began the publicatin f a new jurnal, Genetics. Shull was the managing editr fr ten years. Genetics is still ne f the tp internatinal science jurnals.

C
Recently researchers are discvering that learning is easier, quicker and mre lng-lasting if it invlves the bdy. T sme extent, the discvery shuld cme as n surprise. Cnsider that many f us prbably began t understand basic arithmetic(算术) by cunting n ur fingers befre learning t cunt in ur head.
Cnventinal thinking had it that as we grew, we became mre able t think abstractly(抽象地), which might suggest teachers shuld help wean children ff bdy gestures t prepare them fr the adult wrld. But in truth, the physical wrld never really leaves ur thinking. Fr example, when we prcess verbs such as lick, kick and pick, medical scanners shw that the parts f ur brain that cntrl the muscles in ur face, legs and hands becme mre active.
This thery is called embdied cgnitin(体验认知), and it suggests that what ges n in ur minds cmes frm ur actins and interactins with the wrld arund us. It means that encuraging children t think and learn in a cmpletely abstract way might actually make lessns harder fr them t understand and remember.
Science is beginning t supprt the idea that actins really might speak luder than wrds in the classrm. Spencer Kelly, a psychlgist at Clgate University in New Yrk, has fund that peple spend three times as much time making gestures when the message they cnvey is particularly imprtant. Kelly has als fund evidence that students like a teacher better when that teacher uses arm and hand mvements t emphasize pints. Meanwhile, Susan Wagner Ck, a psychlgist at the University f Iwa in Iwa City, has fund that children pick up new cncepts mre effectively if they are taught t mirrr and repeat the gestures their teacher uses, and that lessns invlving wrds and gestures live lnger in a student’s memry than lessns using wrds alne.
28. The underlined phrase “wean children ff bdy gestures” in paragraph 2 means“ ”?
A. let children be aware f bdy gestures.
B. encurage children t use bdy gestures.
C. give children an accunt f bdy gestures.
D. make children stp using bdy gestures.
29. Accrding t embdied cgnitin, which f the fllwing statements can be inferred?
A. Our minds can decide ur actins.
B. It encurages students t study in an abstract way.
C. Interacting with the surrundings is imprtant fr ne's cgnitin.
D. Interacting with the wrld makes lessns harder fr us t learn.
30. What can we learn frm Spencer Kelly's study?
A. Yung students like t mirrr their teacher's gestures.
B. Bdy mvements can raise a teacher's ppularity.
C. Bdy language is mre pwerful than spken language.
D. Teachers use few bdy gestures when the message is imprtant .
31. What is the text mainly abut?
A. A new finding abut learning. B. Disadvantages f thinking abstractly.
C. The functin f bdy language. D. A study n classrm teaching.
D
The cmmnly held belief that it takes 21 days t frm a new habit can be traced back t a
1960 bk by plastic surgen Maxwel Maltz called Psych-Cybernetics. In his wrk treating patients wh had gne thrugh facial recnstructin surgery, Maltz nticed that it typically tk arund three weeks fr them t adjust t seeing their new faces in the mirrr. He als fund that individuals wh had lst a limb still sensed “phantm(幻觉的)”pains in the missing arm r leg fr abut 21 days.
Based n these perceptins(认知) f recvery time after significant physical changes, Maltz therized in his bk that it likely takes a minimum f 21 days fr the neurlgical path ways in ur brains assciated with ld behavirs and habits t g away, and fr new mental images and rutines t take firm rt. This idea f a standardized 21-day frmatin perid fr habits sn became widely accepted.
Hwever, Maltz was drawing causal inferences rather than cnducting strict scientific research. It wasn't until 2010 that health psychlgist Phillippa Lally at University Cllege Lndn decided t prperly study habit frmatin timelines. She designed a year-lng experiment that tracked 96participants as they each established a single new habit f their chsing. Every day, subjects reprted n whether they successfully perfrmed their intended behavir that day as well as hw autmatic the actin felt.
Lally' findings revealed that n average, it tk 66 days befre a habit became a nrmal part f a rutine and felt autmatic. But results varied widely, with habits frming anywhere frm 18 days up t 254 days between individuals. Cnsistency (连 贯 性) was the key factr in successfully making a behavir habitual, with smetimes missing days nt stpping verall prgress.
This landmark study prved the assumed 21-day standard t be false and shwed that a wide range f timelines are nrmal.
32. What is Maltz's assumptin based n?
A. A strict scientific research. B. Psychlgical wrk.
C. His persnal bservatins. D. Carefully designed surveys.
33. Why did Lally's team cnduct the research?
A. T supprt Maltz's thery n habit frmatin.
B. T explre the factrs in affecting habit frmatin.
C. T identify the timelines fr establishing new habits.
D. T explain advantages f develping gd behavirs.
34. What d we knw abut Lally's findings?
A. It is harder t frm a new habit than t stick t an ld ne.
B. There are large individual differences in frming habits.
C. Mst participants tk 66 days t make a behavir habitual.
D. Occasinal stps have a big effect n the prcess f habit frmatin.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Des It Really Take 21 Days t Build a New Habit?
B. Hw D We Develp Sme Psitive Daily Rutines?
C. What Are the Key Aspects t Establish a New Habit?
D. When Is the Best Time t Start Psitive Daily Rutines?

Many years ag, after my cllege graduatin, I finally tk a jb as the head cach at a schl in Baxley, Gergia. It was a small schl with a weak ftball prgram.
It was a traditin fr the schl's ld team t play against the new team at the end f spring practice and then autumn practice. The ld team had n cach, and they didn't even practice t prepare fr the game. Being the cach f the new team, I was excited because I knew we were ging t win. After all, my team attended at least ne training sessin each week during the spring mnths, and I was delighted t see that they had mastered the basic skills such as shrt pass, crss pass, and man-fr-man marking(盯人防守), mre imprtantly, learning t team up with thers. They trained hard and wanted t win the game. But t ur great disappintment, we were defeated by the ld team which seemed t be bund t lse!
I culdn't believe we had gt int such a situatin. My team was as embarrassed and depressed as I, lwering their heads and dragging their feet ut f the ftball field. When I gathered them tgether t reflect why we lst the game, sme students cmplained, “In a small schl with a weak ftball prgram, failure is due!” Other students said that they didn't have enugh time t make full preparatins fr it.
Listening t their reflectin, I was lst in deep thught. Suddenly, a saying ccurred t me, “Winners are made, nt brn.” My team might nt be the number ne team in Gergia, but they were depending n me. I had t change my attitude abut their ability and ptential. Instead f seeing my bys as lsers, I shuld push and encurage them. I shuld als help them t see themselves differently, and build themselves int winners.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I decided t d everything t help them win the game.



The autumn practice ended and again we faced the ld team.
