，从每题所给的四个选项 （a 、b 、c 和 d ）中选出最佳选项 ，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 a we had known for along time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at special time. the question is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. in one experiment, flowers were kept in constant (持续的）darkness. we might expect that the flowers ,without any information about the time of the day, did not open as they usually do. in fact, they continue to open at their usual time. this shows that they have some special ways of knowing the time. their sense(感觉) time does not depend on information from the outside world. it is inside them: a kind of inner (内部的）clock. this discovery may not seem to be very important. however, it is later found that not just plants but animals have this inner clock which control（控制）the working of their bodies and influences their activities. human beings, then, are also influenced by it. whether we wish or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep or need for food.21before the experiment arrived at a conclusion ,people had thought that the flowers would_.a. never open in constant darknessb. change their usual time to openc. open ahead of the time as they usually didd. continue to open at usual time22the sense of time that flowers have is connected with_.a. its age and sizeb. light and temperaturec. a kind of strange power(力量）inside themd. some unknown information from the outside world23what will happen if we make good use of the inner clocka. well need less sleep or food.b. well be able to sleep as long as we wish to.c. well be able to change our work time when necessary.d. well have more energy to do our work better.24whats the chinese meaning of the underlined word affectsa. 产生 b. 影响 c. 给予 d. 依赖it is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents . they say their parents dont understand them .they often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways , that they are too serious(严肃) too strict with their children and that they seldom give their children a free hand . it is true that parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust(信任) and they often forget how they themselves felt when they were young .for example , young people like to act on the spot without much thinking . it is one of their ways to show they have grown up and that they can face any difficult situation . however , older people worry more easily . most of old people plan things ahead , at least in the back of their minds , and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected .when you want your parents to let you do something , you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it .young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes and in music . but they do not want to cause any trouble ; it is just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world , into which they have not yet been accepted . thats why young people want to make a new culture of their own . and if their parents do not like their music or hairstyle or clothes or their ways of speech , this will make the young people very happy .sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do . all you want is to be left alone and do what you like . it is natural enough , after being a child for so many years , when you were completely under your parents control .if you plan to control your life , youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understandyou. if your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility , they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do .25whom is this text written for ?a. parentsb. both parents and their childrenc. young peopled. teachers26the underlined expression “on the spot ” means _ .a. at the place where something happened.b. by oneselfc. immediatelyd. angrily27 according to the text , young people usually _ .a. ask for advice before they really start to do anythingb. do things without thinking carefully aheadc. are very strict with themselvesd. think in the same way as their parents do28 why do young people like to have clothes and music in their own way ?a. because they want to make their parents angry .b. because they try to get their parents into trouble .c. because they want to try something new and look different from the older people .d. because they know they are cleverer than the older people .fun dayto celebrate
