dangerous,but in this case they are threatening natures delicate food chain.the invaders are plants brought here from other countries to make gardens and yards look pretty.ever since people started to arrive on americas shores,they have carried along trees,flowers,and vegetables from other places.now there are so many of those plants,they are crowding out the native plants that have lived here since before human settlers arrived.and thats a problem,says dr.doug tallamy.hes insect expert at the university of delaware.he explains that almost all the plant-eating insects in the united states are specialized,which means they eat only certain plants.monarch butterfly caterpillars(幼虫),for example,dine on milkweed.if people cut down milkweed and replace it with another plant,the butterflies will not have the food source that they need to survive.but the trouble doesnt stop there.when insects cant get the right plants to eat and they die off,then the birds dont have enough bugs for their meals.tallamy points out that almost all migrating birds depend on insets to feed their young.“we cannot let the plants and animals around us disappear.”says tallamy,“the way to preserve them is to give them food to eat. but when we plant non-native plants,we are clobbering the food chain,because then we dont have the insects the birds need to live.”fewer of the right plants mean fewer bugs,and fewer bugs mean fewer birds.and thats bad for the earth,because we need a variety of living things to keep the planet healthy and beautiful.the good news is,garden centers sell native plants.“just google native plantsand your location,and you can find out which plants really belong where you live,”says tallamy26. how did green invades arrive at america?a. they fell down from space.b. they floated to the americas shores.c. they were brought in from foreign countriesd. they has lived here since human settlers arrived27. according to dr.tallamy,which of the followings about the insects in the us is not true?a. almost all the plant-eating insects in a place eat certain plants.b. monarch butterfly caterpillars cant survive without milkweed.c. if insects cant eat the right plants,they will find another one.d. the insects death will greatly affect the migrating birdssurvival28. the underlined word“clobber”in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _.a. protect b.damage c.create d.collect29. we can know whether a plant is native by _.a. googling on the internet b.asking dr.doug tallamyc.looking up in books d.searching in garden 30. what is the best title of the pass age?a. green invaderslocal living things b.green invadersdangerous food chainc.green invadersenvironmental protectors d.green invadesthreat to local naturebin western countries people have been using the installment plan since the first half of the twentieth century.today,a large number of families in great britain buy furniture,household goods and cars by installments.in the u.s.,the figure is much higher than in great britain,and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan.the price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash.there is a charge for interest.the buyers pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him.he then makes regular payments,weekly or monthly,until the full price is paid up.the legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.installment buying has advantages and disadvantages.it can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping,it increases the demand for goods,and in this way helps business and employment. there is ,however,the danger that when business is bad,installment buying may end suddenly,making business much worse.this may result in a great increase in unemployment.if the people on the installment plan lose their jobs,they will probably not be able to make their payments.if great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money.if businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit,it becomes more likely to have a depression.this is why,in some countries,the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.31. which of the following is true about the installment plan?a. british families just use the installment plan to buy furniture.b. more than 10 precent american families buy things on installment.c. americans spend more on installment buying than british people do.d. the payment of installment buying is easier than buying by cash.32. goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because_.a. the buyer has to pay extra money as interestb. the delivery of the goods charges extra moneyc. the buyer has to pay a down paymentd. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money33. what will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments?a. he might lose his job b.he will stop owning the item he has boughtc.he will have to sell what he has bought d.he will go into debt34. the advantages of installment buying might include all the followings except that _.a. purchasing power is strengthenedb. employment might be increasedc. people develop a good habit of saving moneyd. young couples are able to furnish their homes35. in some countries,the government controls the installment plan to_.a. increase employment b.avoid depressionsc.ensure that businesses make good profits d.ensure that people can pay for what they buycthe first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didnt know.i stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.i turned around to find a wrinkled,little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.she said,“hi,girl!my name is rose.im 87 years old.can give you a hug?”i laughed and enthusiastically responded,“of course you may!“and she gave me a giant squeeze.“why are you in college at such a young,innocent age ?”i asked.she jokingly replied,“im here to meet a rich husband,get married,have a couple of children,and hen retire and travel!”“no seriously“i said.i was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“i always dreamed of having a college education and now im getting one!”“she told me.over the course of the year,rose because a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went .she loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students.she was living it up.at the end of the semester we invited rose to speak at our football banquet.ill never forget what she taught us.“we do not stop playing because we are old“;we grow old because we stop playing.there are only two secrets to staying young,being happy,and achieving success/you have to laugh and find humor everyday.yourve got to have a dream.when you lose your dreams,you die!”she said.“the idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.”have no regrets.the elderly usually don;t have regrets for what we did,but rather for things we did not do.the only people who fear death are those with regrets.”she concluded her speech by courageously singing “the song of rose”.she challenged each of us study the lyrics(歌词)and live them out in our daily lives.at the years end,rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.one week after graduation rose died peacefully in her sleep.36. rose made herself known to the author in a _ manner.a. serious b.cold c.crazy d.humorous37. from the information provided in the passage,we know_.a. rose finished the college degree within a yearb. rose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college educationc. rose enjoyed her camus life very muchd. rose grew so old that she stopped playing38. rose delivered the speech_.a. at the graduation b.which she prepared carefullyc.ended with”the song of rose” d.to challenge all the other speakers39. according to her speech,_.a. whenever you have a dream,you succeedb. all people dont grow up while growing olderc. rose usually regretted having done somethingd. a nine-year-old is as old as a 87-year-old if he doesnt do anything40. the best title for the passage can be_.a. growing older or growing up b.its never too old to learnc.humour does count d.challenge yourselfdbeing sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life.relationships with family,friends,neighbours,even pets,will all do the trick,but the biggest longevity(长寿)boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. the effect was first noted in 1858 by william farr,who who wrote that widows and widowers（鳏夫）were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers.studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans.the effect holds for all causes of death,whether illness,accident or self-harm. even if the odds are stacked against you(the conditions are not favourable),marriage can more than compensate.linda waite of the university of chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart.likewise,a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke.theres a flip side,however,as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse;s death,and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems.even so,the odds favour marriage.in a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people,nicholas christakis of harvard medical school describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.so how does it work?the effects are complex,affected by socio-economic factors,health-service provision,emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms(机制).for example,social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system,leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life.people in supportive relationships may handle stress better.then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.a life partner,children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.the best social network is still being mapped out,but christakis says:”people are interconnected,so their health is interconnected.”41. william farrs study and other studies show that_.a. social life provides an effective cure for illnessb. being sociable helps improve ones quality
