Part I 阅读理解（第1–15题）
Passage A
If you are conducting businesses in foreign markets, it is necessary to know the customs and traditions of the locals when it comes to New Year's Day celebration. This knowledge can help you blend in better with your foreign co-workers or make a good impression on your target audiences. Let's find out how some European countries celebrate New Year's Day!
Denmark
While in some cultures, breaking things is a bad sign, Danish people welcome New Year's Day by smashing unused plates and glasses against the doors of family and friends. This action is performed with the aim of warding off evil spirits. Some people even stand on chairs and jump off them together at midnight in the hopes of bringing good luck.
Spain
People in Spain have a unique way to celebrate New Year's Day. It is a custom to eat 12 grapes at midnight on New Year's Eve, one at each stroke of the clock. Each grape is a representation of a month of good fortune in the coming year. If you are able to get all of them into your mouth, all of your wishes will come true!
Ireland
In preparation for New Year's Day, people in Ireland make sure their entire house, including their gardens and cars, is cleaned without a spot. They have the custom of throwing bread at the walls as the clock approaches midnight to scare away evil spirits and bring good luck in.
Greece
If you are offered a cake on New Year's Day in Greece, you may need tough teeth. As January 1st is also Saint Basil's Day in Greece, many Greeks celebrate this day with extra-special customs. They bake St. Basil's Cake with one special ingredient — a coin made of gold or silver. If you get a slice of cake that contains this coin, you will have a full lucky year.
Germany
Every year, millions of people flock to Berlin for one of Europe's largest New Year's Eve celebrations. It is called Silvester, during which people gather for wishing for good luck. They throw parties, watch fireworks, and drink a German sparkling wine. Families melt lead at home by holding a flame beneath a tablespoon, then putting it into water. The pattern shown is said to predict the coming year. For example, a heart or ring shape indicates an upcoming wedding while a pig is a sign of plenty of food.

Passage B
Today lots of people love to wear T-shirts for the fashionable feel. In most cases, people wear the right T-shirt under a sports coat instead of a traditional dress shirt and tie.
The T-shirt did not look like the T-shirt we know today until after the First World War (1914-1918). During World War I, some soldiers were wearing old-fashioned woolen uniforms during the summer, while other soldiers wore cotton undershirts that were significantly cooler.
During the 1920s the word "T-shirt" was added to a dictionary. By the Second World War, most soldiers wore cotton T-shirts as standard underwear. T-shirts were considered solely as underwear until the 1950s. In those days, even the word "underwear" was never mentioned in the upper social class.
So in the 1950s, it was quite shocking to see movie stars such as Jean Arc and James Ron wearing just a T-shirt! But by 1955 it became socially acceptable for young men to wear just a T-shirt without a regular shirt covering it. James Ron, the famous film star, made this style "cool" for teenage males across Europe.
Today T-shirts become part of people's way of life. People wear T-shirts that promote their favorite music band or sports team. People wear T-shirts advertising places that they have visited. T-shirts with images of cartoon characters are worn by children of all ages. In fact, you can find every cartoon character that ever graced the screen on a T-shirt somewhere.
5. What is the common purpose of celebration activities in the five countries?
- A. To get good luck.
- B. To be successful in business.
- C. To scare away bad spirits.
- D. To wish for a good harvest.

Passage C
Scientists have come up with a new way of identifying animals in an area by testing DNA sucked out of the air. The researchers believe their new method could help scientists keep track of animals that are hard to spot, including endangered animals.
A team of scientists in Denmark came up with the question: Could they identify the animals in an area from DNA that was simply floating in the air? At the very beginning, they didn't have high hopes for the new method.
Every living thing has DNA that can be used to identify it. All creatures leave bits of DNA behind them wherever they go — for example, from skin, hair, feathers, or waste. DNA left behind like this is called "environmental" DNA, or eDNA. Scientists can use this eDNA to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place.
Testing for eDNA isn't a new idea, but most of the time, scientists look for it in water. DNA in the air is usually so small that it would take a microscope to see it.
The Danish scientists worked on an experiment. They collected samples from different locations at a zoo, using vacuums and fans to collect extremely tiny bits of DNA onto very high quality filters. In the laboratory, they got the DNA from the filters and made copies of it to study. By comparing these samples with examples of DNA from different animals, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoo. They identified 49 different kinds of animals. They even identified DNA from animals that were inside sealed buildings.
The scientists chose to test in the zoo because there were rare animals not naturally found in the area. As Dr. Elizabeth Clare, who led the team, said, "There's no other way I would detect DNA from a tiger, except for the zoo's tiger."
The researchers are excited about the ways this new method could be used in the wild. Scientists have been looking for better ways to track endangered animals without interfering with them. If scientists know where animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them.
10. What can we know about people from the T-shirts they wear?
- A. Their preferences.
- B. Their families.
- C. Their ages.
- D. Their destinations.

答案：A
11. What could the new method help scientists do according to Paragraph 1?

- B. To identify rare animal species.

14. Why did the scientists collect samples in the zoo?

Part III 完形填空（第21–35题）
During the last fifty years psychologists have made us believe that differences between men and women are mainly the 21 of the way we are brought up.

But two books newly 25 say that, according to a recent scientific study, gender differences 26 because men's and women's brains work completely 27 and their biological differences mean that they can never think or 28 the same way.
