children from one lesson to another.understandably so.many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything，from organized sports to music，dance and more.but we can overdo it，leaving our children feeling a little burnt out，and according to parent educator diane loisie，its their school work that suffers the most，“after school，if theyre busy in a number of sporting events，besides，they need to do their homework，then the time theyll feel sleepy is in the classroom.your child needs free time.so if youre filling up that after school time，then its during the day theyre going to be taking a break.”professor claire mcdermott agrees that theres a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away.“relaxing time is important for children.its time just to do the things they want to do.children can go up to their room，or they can play around.it doesnt look like productive time；parents certainly wouldnt be saying wow，are they ever learning things now？ but this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day.it helps a child prepare for sleep，but it also helps to understand the learning thats gone on that day.”its hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons.after all，many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is part of that.however，loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them.“when we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything，then what were doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gain a skill.” so choose your childrens activities wisely.it may be one of the best things youve ever done for your kids and for the family drivers!46what is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?athey can get bored easily about everything.bthey might have no time to do the homework.cthey might not pay much attention to learning.dthey can not easily focus on learning during the day.47what does professor claire mcdermott think of childrens playing around?ait is productive. bit is a bad habit.cit is helpful. dit is a waste of time.48what is the main idea of this passage?adont be childrens drivers after school.blet children learn something from various subjects.cmake your children learn as much as possible.dchoose activities for your children wisely.btalking plants might sound like characters in a fairy tale.but recent scientific studies have shown that plants communicate with each other and with other living things in a surprising number of ways.to understand them，scientists say，we just have to learn their language.farmers are especially interested in what plants have to say.“plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有机体)they can communicate with giant bacteria，with other plants and with insects.they do this chemically，” said cahill，an ecology professor of the university of alberta in canada.plant scientists are just beginning to understand this chemical “language”cahill says studies have shown，for example，that plants can evaluate conditions in their immediate environment and take appropriate actions.plants have an ability，for example，to signal pain or discomfort caused by anything from temperature extremes to an insect attack.jack schultz，a professor of chemical ecology at the university of missouri，says when a plant senses that its being eaten，it cannot walk away from trouble；on the contrary，it will release a chemical vapor that alerts other plants nearby.“their language is a chemical language，and it involves chemicals that move through the air that are easy to be changeable，and most of all are smells that we are familiar with，” schultz explained.“all plants responded to the attack by changing their chemistry to defend themselves，” schultz recalled.“but we were quite surprised to find that nearby plants also changed their chemistry to defend themselves，even though they were not part of the experiment.”studies have also shown that plants under attack release pleasant chemicals.those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant.in the end，plants ability to communicate their needsand our ability to understand themcould help farmers reduce the use of poisonous chemicals，cut operating costs and limit damage to the environment.49the recent scientific studies have shown that plants can_.acommunicate with other living things in a chemical waybhardly react to any sudden change in temperaturecuse a very special chemical language which is familiar to usdrespond to the attack by giving off poisonous chemicals50when being eaten by an insect，the plant will_.awalk away from troublebchange its chemistry to kill the insect crelease a chemical vapor to

america, the rich soil of the amazon river basin（流域）in brazil is known as “black gold”. scientists found that the secret of this rich soil was charcoal（木炭）. local people made it from animal bones and tree branches. they mixed the charcoal with the soil about 1.500 years ago.now, scientists in the united states have done a modern demonstration. they say charcoal fertilization offers a revolutionary way to improve soil quality for hundreds or even thousands of years.mingxin guo and his team at delavare state university heated tree leaves, corn stalks（茎）, small pieces of wood and poultry waste into “biochar”（生物碳）. they reported their findings at a recent meeting of the american chemical society in new orleans.biochar could be good news for farmers with poor soil and hungry populations to feed. professor guo says it could even help against global warming. intensive（集约的） farming and overuse of chemical fertilizer give out carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. biochar does the opposite, he says. it traps carbon in the ground.the researchers planted winter wheat in containers of soil in a greenhouse some with biochar, some without. professor guo says the wheat grows much better in the pots with biochar. the soil was added two percent charcoal to. but he says even a one percent treatment will increase productivity.the results demonstrated that biochar can increase organic matter in soil. loss of nutrients in soil is an increasing problem worldwide as farmers try to grow more food for growing populations.next, the team will carry out a five-year study of biochar with spinach（菠菜）, green peppers and tomatoes.mingxin guo says he learns about the “black gold” in brazil from a magazine story. he explains that it was discovered in the jungle, in the area where waters flow to the amazon, in the 1960s. but it was not until recent years that scientists began to bring public attention to it.57according to the passage, which of the following statements is true?athe researchers will go on proving their theory.bthe leading researcher learns the theory from the magazine.ccharcoal was discovered 1,500 years ago.dcommon farming can produce more carbon dioxide.58biochar has the following advantages except that _.ait can improve the condition of the soilbit can be used as a kind of energycit can help against global warming dit can increase productivity of the corn59according to the research, the biochar can help against global warming because it can _.areduce the carbon dioxide bkeep the carbon in the soilcreduce the loss of nutrients in the soil dabsorb the carbon dioxide60which of the following can be the best title of the passage?ausing charcoal to make soil into “black gold”busing charcoal to reduce the carbon dioxidechow amazon river basin produces “golden black”dguos research on producing biochar第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框af选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。a. name of the same history textbook.b. benefits of sharing the same textbook.c. the origin of the idea of the same history book.d. the dislike for each other.e. the same history textbook in france and germanyf. reasons for the hatred between france and germany .61 highschool students in france and germany are to learn modern history from the same textbook starting in the 2012 school year. its thought that the new book will help the next generation of the french and germans develop a shared european identity. the book, called “historie/geschichte”, the french and german words for history, was co-written by historians from both countries. it will provide students from both sides of the rhine(莱茵河) with the different explanations of their common history.62the idea for the books came about in 2008, when high school students from both countries celebrated the 45th anniversary of the elysee treaty(爱丽舍条约)， a friendship agreement signed to show that france and germany had buried their postwar differences. the students suggestion soon got strong support from both governments. “the big lesson is that hatred wont last forever,” said french education minister gil
