In 1901，Karl Landsteiner，an Austrian scientist，discovered that there are four types of blood.These four blood types were named A，B，AB and O.People have one of these four types.
Blood type O is the most common around the world.Blood type A is the second most common，and type AB is the least common.If people with type A blood are given type B blood，or people with type B blood are given type A blood，they will probably die.
In 1927，a Japanese doctor，Furukawa Takeji，carried out research and came up with the idea that people with different blood types also had different personalities.He said that people with type A blood are usually calm and serious;people with type B blood are curious，cheerful and outgoing;people with type O blood are generous and honest;those with type AB blood are often caring，original and careful.
More recently，a doctor in the United States wrote a book that links blood types and what people eat.For example，his book suggests people with type O blood should eat more meat and less bread.A diet for people with type A blood includes more vegetables.His book，Eat Right for Your Type，has been a hit with people who want to lose weight.However，Dr.Peter D'Adamo believes that eating food that matches a person's blood type can do more than help them lose weight.He thinks it w ill make the person healthier in other ways，too.
76.The Austrian scientist，Karl Landsteiner found that there are ________________________.
77.People with type B blood will be in danger if they are given ________________.
78. The Japanese doctor found people with type B blood are usually ________________________________.

第Ⅱ卷 笔试部分
五、21.B 点拨：由句意可知，第一个空表泛指且vacation以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a;第二空表示特指。故选B。
22.A
23.B 点拨：考查副词词义辨析。really“真正地”;hardly“几乎不”;nearly“几乎”; clearly“清晰地”。此处表示“在那时我几乎不能控制自己的感情”，故选B。
24.D
25.A 点拨：stop to do sth.意为“停下(一件事)去做另一件事”;stop doing sth.意为“停止正在做的事”。由句意可知选A。
26.C
27.B 点拨：all“全部”，指三者或三者以上;both“两者都”;neither“两者都不”;either“(两者中的)任何一个”。根据常识可知，马路有两边，故排除A项。由句中的关键词sides可知either不合题意，排除D项。结合句意“我的家乡正变得越来越美丽，马路两边都种植着花草树木。”可知，both符合题意。
28.A
29.D 点拨：词语辨析法。考查疑问词的辨析。how如何;what什么;when什么时候;which哪一个。根据问句句意“成都、北京和上海，你想要选择在哪里居住?”可知选择答案D。
30.A
31.D 点拨：考查形容词的最高级。 “one of the +形容词最高级+可数名词复数”表示“……中最……之一”，故答案选D。
32.A
33.D 点拨： 上句句意：看，有人正在树下跳舞。表示“某人”且用于肯定句中用somebody;在否定句中用anybody;everybody 意为“每一个人”;nobody意为“没有人”。 故选D。
34.A
35.D 点拨：考查介词用法。 句意：在蔬菜和水果里的化学物质对我们的健康有害。be bad for是固定搭配，意为“对……有害”。
六、36.B 点拨：固定搭配法。look out of the window“向窗外看”，搭配其他词不合情理。
37.A 点拨：see“看到”，强调结果;look“看”，强调过程，不可直接跟宾语，跟宾语时，用look at。故此处要用表示强调结果的see。
38.D 点拨：已经不是第一次提到这列火车，故应该用定冠词。 39.B 40.A
41.B 点拨：由下文可知是询问价格，故用 how much。
42.C
43.A 点拨：从下文可看出是让他买两个蛋糕。
44.B 点拨：some time later 过了一段时间。 45.A
七、A 46.C 点拨：细节理解题。由第二个表格可知，得分越少，制造的污染越少。所以从第一个表格中选择分数最少的项目可以得知，经常回收用过的东西制造污染最少，故选C。
47.B 点拨：细节理解题。由第二个表格第二行As much pollution as the average person可知，8到10分是人们的平均得分。故选B。
48.B 49.A
50.D 点拨：主旨大意题。由问卷大意可知是绿色环保的主题。住的地方、回收东西、选择交通工具都只是其中的一部分，不能概括。故选D。

C 56.C 点拨： 主旨大意题。通读全文可知本文讲的是科学家Jane Goodall的经历，而答案C项最合适，所以选C。
