everyone can find their own personal styledthat we should share our closet with friendsbselena gomez and i are scheduled to meet at a lowkey coffee shop in encino. not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, i arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. as i was catching up on emails, selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. no bodyguard. not even a drop of makeup. she was ten minutes early and no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. selena was wearing bebe shorts. she had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.after making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. selena declared 2012 the year of movies. she filmed three: spring breakers, a drama; the getaway, an action flick; and hotel transylvania, a comedy. each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.now that her disney days are behind her, selena is at that unstable point in a child stars career where she is trying to grow upboth as a person(she turned 20 in july)and as an artist. “being part of the disney channel was such a blessing, and im super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something i would like to take on more seriously.” she continued, “i dont necessarily feel accomplished. i want to create a whole different person when it comes to acting.”selena has been working fulltime since she was seven years old and scored a role on barney&friends. in 2007, when she was offered the lead in wizards of waverly place, selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from texas to la , where they are settling

satisfied with her show in disney.cshe found her not accomplished in her performance in disney.dshe believed her being part in disney channel a blessing.27the underlined word in the last paragraph probably means “_”amoved bpicked cchanged dinformedcwould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?ubc professor simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined .although charles darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, simard shows just how wrong he was. in fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.nitrogen（氮） and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌） networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. this hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend .she explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow .when humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“we didnt take any notice of it .” simard says sadly .“dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” if we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.28.what would be the best title for the passage?a. old trees communicate like humans b. young trees are in need of protectionc. trees contribute to our society d. trees are more complex than you think29. in simards opinion, trees _a. compete for survival b. protect their own wealthc. depend on each other d. provide support for dying trees30.we can learn from the passage that .a. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.b. charles darwin had the same thought as simard.c. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected.d. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.31.the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .a. how “tree societies” workb. how trees grow oldc. how forestry industry developsd. how young trees survive detymology, the study of words and word roots, may sound like the kind of thing done by boring librarians in small, dusty rooms. yet etymologists actually have a uniquely interesting job they are in many ways just like archaeologists （考古学家） digging up the physical history of people and events. the special aspect of etymology is that it digs up history, so to speak, through the words and phrases that are left behind.the english language, in particular, is a great field to explore history through words as a language, english has an extraordinary number of words. this is partly due to its ability to adapt foreign words so readily. for example, english words such as kindergarten(from german), croissant(from french), and cheetah(from hindi) have become part of the language with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings. so english-language etymologists have a vast world of words to explore.another enjoyable thing about etymology for most word experts is solving word mysteries. no, etymologists do not go around solving murders, like the great detective sherlock holmes. what these word experts solve are mysterious origins of some of our most common words.one of the biggest questions english language experts have pursued is how english came to have the phrase ok. though it is one of the most commonly used expressions, its exact beginning is a puzzle even to this day. even its spelling is not entirely consistent-unless you spell it okay, it is hard even to call it a word. etymologists have been able to narrow oks origin down to a likely, although not certain, source. it became widely used around the time of martin van burens run for president in 1840. his nickname was old kinderhook. what troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before van buren became well known. it is likely that van buren could be called its primary source. etymologists will doubtlessly keep searching for the initial source. however, it is clear that oks popularity and reputation have topped those of the american president to whom it has been most clearly linked.32.the author mentions the words like croissant in paragraph 2 to indicate? a. words have changed a lot in the two languages b. what english-language etymologists are exploring now c. english has absorbed many words from other foreign languages d. the english vocabulary is difficult to the non-english-speaking people33.the underlined word pursued in paragraph 4 means ? a. looked upon b. dug up c. put in d. set down34.we can learn from the passage that etymologists a. discover the possible origin of words b. help detectives to solve mysterious murders c. write interesting stories for some newspapers d. explore the english language as well as the recent events35.what is the main purpose of the passage ? a. to present the history of english words b. to explain the procedure of an etymologists job c. to introduce the pleasure of the study of words and word roots d. to teach readers how to distinguish english and non-english
