what had held him back before? the next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. although our times together became easier over the years, i never felt closer to his at that moment. after so many years, im at last seeing another side of my father. and in so doing, im delighted with my new friend. my dad, in his new home in arizona, is back to me from where he was51. why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?a. he was silent most of the time. b. he was too proud of himself. c. he did not love his children. d. he expected too much of her.52. when the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel . a. nervous. b. sorry. c. tired. d. safe.53. what does the author think of her father after her visit to tucson? a. more critical. b. more talkative. c. gentle and friendly. d. strict and hard-working.bamerica is growing older. fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the united states were 65 or older. today, 10 out of every 100 americans are over 65. the aging of the population will affect american society in many ways-education, medicine and business. quietly, the graying (人口老化) of america has made us a very different society-one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.a persons age no longer tells you anything about his/her position or health. there is no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets retired. the social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isnt as strong as it used to be. it doesnt surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. public ideas are changing.many people say, “i am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” no one says “act your age” any more. weve stopped looking with surprise at older people, who act in youthful ways.54. what way is not mentioned in the article that the aging of the population will affect american society?a. medicine. b. business. c. education.d. marriage.55. the underlined word “one” in paragraph 1 refers to _. a. a society b. america c. a place d. population56. “act your age” means people should _. a. show respect for their parents young or old b. do the right thing at the right age c. be active when they are old d. take more physical exercise suitable to their age57. if a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _.a. unbelievableb. wonderful c. normal d. unreasonablec“if you talk to the plants, they will grow faster and the effect is even better if youre a woman.” researchers at royal horticultural society carried out an experiment to find that the voice of a woman gardener makes plants grow faster. the experiment lasted a month and by the end of the study scientists managed to discover that tomato plants grew up two inches taller when women gardeners talked to them instead of male. sarah darwin was the one making the plants registered the best growth. her voice was the most “inspiring” for plants than those of nine other gardeners when reading a passage from the origin of species. the great-great-granddaughter of the famous botanist(植物学家) charles darwin found that her plant grew about two inches taller than the plant of the best male gardener. colin crosbie, garden superintendent at rhs, said that the finding cannot yet be explained. he assumes that women have a greater range of pitch（音高） and tone（音调） which might have a certain effect on the sound waves that reach the plant. “sound waves are an environmental effect just like rain or light,”said mr grosbie.the study began in april at rhs garden wisley in survey. scientists started with open auditions(听力) for the people who were asked to record passages from john wyndhams the day of the triffids, shakespeares a midsummers night dream and darwins the origin of species.afterwards researchers selected a number of different voices and played them to 10 tomato plants during a period of a month. each plant had headphones（耳机） connected to it. through the headphones the sound waves could hit the plants. it was discovered that plants that “listened” to female voices on average grew taller by an inch in comparison to plants that heard male voices.miss darwin said, “i think it is an honor to have a voice that can make tomatoes grow, and especially fitting because for a number of years i have been studying wild tomatoes from the galapagos island at the natural history museum in london.”58what does the passage talk about? a. plants enjoy mens voices than womens. b. a botanical experiment in a museum. c. voices influence on plant growing. d. strange phenomenon（现象） at royal horticultural society.59what does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? a. plants need sound as well as rain and light. b. sound is basic for the plant to grow. c. sound has a good effect as rain or light does.d. plants cant live without sound, rain or light.60sarah darwin is most likely a (an)_. a. botanist b. gardener c. astronomer d. environmentalist61what can we learn from the passage? a. the experiment ended in may. b. scientist can explain the findings clearly. c. plants enjoy listening to the passages from masterpieces. d. the findings are of great importance to human beings.dover the years ive been teaching kids about a simple but powerful spiritthe ant philosophy. i think we should study ants. ants have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part：they never quit. thats a good philosophy. if theyre heading somewhere and you try to stop them，theyll look for another way. theyll climb over, and theyll climb around. they keep looking for another way. what a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where theyre supposed to go!second，ants think about winter all summer. thats an important perspective（态度，观点）. you can t be so naive （无知的）as to think summer will last forever. so ants are gathering their winter food in summer. an ancient story says, “dont build your house on the sand in summer.” there is some reason in what it says. it is important to think ahead. in summer, youve to think about the storm. youve got to think about freezing while you are enjoying the sand and the sun. the third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think about summer all winter. that is also important. during the winter, ants remind themselves，“this wont last long；well soon be out of here. ”and on the first warm day，the ants are out. if it turns cold again，theyll go back，but then they come out again if it is warm. they cant wait to get out. and here is the last part of the ant philosophy. how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? all that it possibly can. what an incredible philosophy, the “all-that-you-possibly-can” philosophy!what a great philosophy to havethe ant philosophy! never give up，look ahead，stay active and do all you can. 62. if ants have trouble reaching somewhere, they will_. a. give up their efforts at last b. look for others helpc. wait for a chance to come d. get there in another way63. the third part of the ant philosophy is_ . a. more important than the other threeb. to believe in yourself and think about no difficultyc. to be active and make use of every opportunityd. that we should know winter is longer than summer64. which of the following shows the “all-that-you-possibly-can” philosophy?a. we should try our best to do what we can. b. one should think of what
