They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.It is a complex tale，and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes.It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us.Further studies are needed to increase agricultural efficiency.56How do plants warn their neighbors?AThey make use of winds.BThey release some chemicals.CThey identify the chemicals.DThey are exposed early.57Whats the function of HexVic?AIt damages the cutworms body.BIt shows up more.CIt cures the disease.DIt sprays over healthy plants.58It can be inferred from the text that_Athere are not chemical signalsBthe phenomenon may be happening in less plant species than tomatoesCfarmers may benefit from the further studiesDplants are warned first by their neighbors59The passage is likely to appear in _Aa newspaper advertisementBa physics textbookCa science magazineDa finance reportBConsumers everywhere are faced with the same dilemma：given limited resources，what sorts of purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction? Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic (享乐的)gains than material purchases.The reason why experiences improve with time may be because it is possible to think about experiences in a more abstract manner than possessions.For example，if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth，you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberance(生气勃勃)，but youre less likely to remember exactly what you did daybyday.Material possessions are harder to think about in an abstract sense.The car you bought is still a car，that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket.Its more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory than a possession.Purchasing may have a negative impact on happiness because consumers often buy “joyless” material possessions，resulting in comfort but not pleasure.In general，people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase.This can be seen in both negative and positive purchases：hedonic adaptation would result in a positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.Experience，however，seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons.It is because of the unique nature of experience.Its more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable.After all，each of our youthful summers is different.Its well established that social comparisons can have a huge effect on how we view what might seem like positive events.One striking example is the finding that people prefer to earn $50，000 a year while everyone else earns $25，000，instead of earning $100，000 themselves and having other people earn $200，000.A similar effect is seen for possessions.When there are so many flatscreen HD TVs to choose from，its easy to make unfavourable comparisons between our choice and the others available.60An abstract sense in the passage refers to awareness of something _Ayou cannot think aboutByou cant remember wellCyou cannot understandDyou cannot see or touch61If you make an experiential purchase before a material purchase，you may go to_Aa theatre before going to a storeBan exhibition before going to a parkCa mall before going to a grocersDa market before going to a restaurant62The example of earnings is given to actually indicate_Ahow ridiculous people areBhow people feel contentChow nearsighted people areDhow people hold prejudice63It is implied in the passage that，after their material purchases，people might_Aenjoy their ownership of what they have boughtBpick every fault in the products they have gotCregret making a wrong decision to buy the itemsDleave what theyve purchased untouched at homeCELMONT，N.Y.(AP)Elmont High School senior Harold Ekeh had a planhe would apply to 13 colleges，including all eight Ivy League schools，figuring it would help his chances of getting into at least one great school.It worked.And then some，the teenager from Long Island was accepted at all 13 schools，and now faces his next big test：deciding where to go.“I was stunned，I was really shocked，”Ekeh told The Associated Press during an interview Tuesday at his home near the Belmont Park racetrack，his four younger brothers running around.He found out last week he had been accepted to Princeton University.That made him eight for eight in the Ivy Leaguehe had already been accepted to Yale University，Brown University，Columbia University，Cornell University，Dartmouth College，Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania.His other acceptances came from Johns Hopkins University，Massachusetts Institute of Technology，New York University，Stony Brook University and Vanderbilt University.“We are so proud of him，” said his mother ，Roseline Ekeh.“Hard work，dedication and prayer brought him to where he is today.”Born in Nigeria，Harold was eight years old when his parents brought the family to the United States.“It was kind of difficult adjusting to the new environment and the new culture，” he said.But he saw his parents working hard，“and I took their example and decided to apply_myself”He referenced that effort in his college essay，writing，“Like a tree，uprooted and replanted，I could have withered in a new country surrounded by people and languages I did not understand.Yet，I witnessed my parents persevere despite the potential to give in.I faced my challenges with newfound zeal; I risked insults，spending my break talking to unfamiliar faces，ignoring their sarcastic remarks.”“Harold is tremendously focused in everything he does.” said John Capozzi，the schools principal，“Hes a great role model.All the students and faculty are so proud of him.”Harold is the second Long Island student in as many years to get into all eight Ivies.Last year，William Floyd High Schools Kwasi Enim chose to go to Yale.Harold，who has a 100.51 gradepoint average and wants to be a neurosurgeon，said he was leaning toward Yale，and had heard from Enin，offering congratulations.Like Enin，hes likely to announce his college choice at a press conference later this month.The deadline to decide is May.64Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase“apply myself”？AWork hard.BWrite to the college.CMake a formal request.DMake an adjustment.65Which of the following is TRUE about Harold?AHe was born in a Nigerian family in the US.BHe planted a tree once he moved to the US.CHe was always welcome and popular in his schools.DHe paid a lot to make his way to offers from all Ivies.66Harold is probably going to_AHarvardBPrincetonCYale DMIT67What can we infer from this passage?AToo many cooks spoil the soup.BHe who laughs last laughs best.COne can kill two birds with one stone.DChance favors only the prepared mind.DThese days a green building means more than just the color of the paint.Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses，factories，and offices.Green building means“reducing the effect of the building on the land”，Taryn Holowka of the US. Green Building Council (评议会) in Washington，DC.，said.According to Holowka，building accounts for 65 percent of total US. electricity use.But green buildings can reduce energy and water use.Also，the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways，so that people can drive their cars less.That could be good for the environment，because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution.Green buildings are often built on developed land，so that the buildings dont destroy forests.Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action.The Solaire has been called the countrys first green highrise building.According to Dettling，“Weve reduced our energy use by onethird and our water by 50 percent.”The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power.“On the face of the building we have solar panels (光板) which change the suns energy into electricity，”Dettling explained.The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room.In addition，the building has lots of windows，allowing people to use the sun for light during the day.The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.Not everyone is eager to move into a green building，however.Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources.Anyhow，Holowka said，“Its going to be big.”68A green building means_Aa building that uses no electricityBa building that saves energy and waterCa building occupying less landDa greencolored building69A green building is often built on an area of land_Awhich has already been for buildingsBwhich has thick forests aroundCwhere people of high income liveDwhere traveling around by car is most convenient70When Holowka says in the last paragraph，“Its going to be big”，she means that green buildings_Awill be more comfortableBwill be more environmentally friendlyCwill become popular in futureDwill take the place of traditional buildings第四部分: 任务型阅读 (共 10 小题; 每小题 1 分, 满分 10 分) 请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意: 请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 每个空格只填一个单词。The Ebola VirusCurrently, the world is facing an epidemic (流行病) due to what is considered to be among the most dangerous viruses that humanity has ever faced the Ebola bleeding virus. Though there were announcements about experimental treatments that were reported to be successful in terms of treating the virus, people around the world continue to die from Ebola.Ebola was first discovered in 1976 in Africa, on the banks of the Ebola River, after which the virus has been named. Back then, there were two major outbreaks of the virus, and this is how people learned about it. There exist several strains of the Ebola virus, some of them are deadly to people, and some are not.The main symptoms of Ebola can appear in a period between the second and the 21st days of infection, but usually it happens on the eighth through 10th day. Among the symptoms that appear in the first turn, one should mention fever and chills, strong headaches, pain in joints and muscles, and general weakness. The
