have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood. one tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. roses require a good deal of care, and if it werent for the pleasure they give, it wouldnt be worth the work. as it is, i have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. it was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. a big mistake. soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. the daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. the cage i placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves. now the task i face in harvesting the fruit is two fold(方面): first, i have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means i almost have to stand on my head, and once found i have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. second, i found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as i picked tomatoes in june, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light. here i am faced with a painful small decision: to tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. like scarlett in gone with the wind, ill think about that tomorrow.36what are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?a. frequent pruning and fertilizing.b. tomato plants grown alongside.c. cages placed around the roots.d. a lot of care and the right soil.37the writer

vienna has been added to unescos world cultural heritage list. thus, st. stephens cathedral, the imperial palace and many other historic buildings are now recognized as being among the 700 outstanding cultural and natural monuments of mankind - others include the pyramid fields from giza to dahshur, the historic center of rome, the kremlin with the red square, the chinese wall, the taj mahal and the grand canyon.viennas historic center, in its unity, is considered one of the most beautiful city landmarks in europe. three eras left their mark on the former residence of the habsburgs: the middle ages with gothic st. stephens cathedral whose spire points toward heaven, one of viennas landmarks; the baroque whose most important achievement is the imperial palace with its sumptuous cupolas (奢华的圆顶). and the ring boulevard era of the late nineteenth century, when such splendid buildings as the vienna state opera and the museum of fine arts were built to replace the former city walls.the imperial flair of the center of vienna is enhanced (加强) by numerous churches, mansions and parks, as well as by rich art collections gathered by wealthy rulers. and the centuries-old musical tradition ranges from the court chapel of the imperial palace to mozarts immortal (不朽的) music and the waltzes of johann strauss. also inseperably linked to the center of the city are the delights of viennese cuisine, the gemtlichkeit of viennese coffeehouses and nostalgic shopping at former purveyors (伙食承办商) to the imperial court.44which of the following is not mentioned as cultural and natural monuments of man-kind?a. the taj mahalb. the pyramid fieldsc. the kremlin with the red squared. the court chapel45the second paragraph is developed mainly by _.a. following the order of place b. providing examplesc. making comparisons d. analyzing causes46what does the underlined words “imperial flair” in the last paragraph mean?a. culture atmosphere b. art stylec. royal style d. royal palace47what is the passage mainly about ?a. the universal value of the world heritage in viennab. viennas becoming one of the cultural and natural monuments of mankindc. the introduction of the historic center of viennad. the special culture atmosphere of the historic center of viennaresearchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. alan beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and nancy edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old peoples depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “no one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激),” edwards points out. “the problem is how we promote that, especially for those without friends or help. a robotic dog could be a solution.”in the study, the robot, called aibo, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. before placing aibo in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. these old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after aibo. then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner. “i talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “when im watching tv, hell stay in my arms until he wants down. he has a mind of his own.” the aibos respond to certain orders. the researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. a robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns. “at the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry,” beck says. “but its amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.” “hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper. they will record their masters blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. aibos may even one day have games that can help stimulate older peoples minds.”48the purpose of beck and edwards study is to _.a. understand human-animal relationshipb. find the causes of old peoples lonelinessc. make lonely old peoples life betterd. promote the animal-assisted research49in the research, the old people are asked to _.a. note the activities of aibos b. keep aibos at home for 12 weeksc. analyze the collected informationd. record their feelings and activities50what is the advantage of aibo over live dogs?a. it can watch tv with its owner.b. it can help the disabled people.c. it responds to all the human orders.d. it is easier to keep at home.51the author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may _.a. keep old people activeb. cure certain diseasesc. change peoples beliefsd. look more like real dogsdespite the high technology and investment in flood defences by the environment agency, there is no way to stop all flooding - sooner or later nature will produce something that will beat even the strongest defences. warning people of this danger is very important if we are to prevent the great loss of life seen fifty-three years ago. indeed if the flood warning system that currently exists had been around on that cold, stormy night in january 1953, many lives would have been spared. the environment agency took over the role of flood warning in 1995 from the police who had to go door to door or sound alarms to get the news out. the service is being constantly improved and a combination of better technology and increased investment following the easter floods of 1998 has led to the creation of floodline and an automatic messaging system that can warn thousands of people in very little time.floodline 0845 988 1188 offers information and advice 24 hours a day and if warnings are in place, callers can get information either from local updates or by using a quickdial code for their area. the flood warning team in kent has also sent letters to the people living close to the rivers or the sea and invited them to join the avm (automated voice messaging) system. anyone choosing to take up
