Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my fathers age, but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, “Fifty is what forty used to be.” He had made an inspirational point. Am I over the hill? People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling them that the high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.“You are not getting older, you are getting better.” says Dr. Joyce Brothers. This, however, is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.And so，as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net, I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally. Getting older, of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies(悼词). In fact, a poet named Robert Browning considered it the best change of all: Grow old along with me!The best is yet to be.Whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend (混合) of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher (哲学家) was right when he said. “Old is always fifteen years from now.”21. The author seems to tell us in Paragraph I that _. A. time alone will tellB. time goes by quickly C. time will show what is rightD. time makes one forget the past22. When the author turned fifty, people around him _. A. tried to comfort him B. got inspiration from him C. were friendlier with him D. found him more talkative23. The author considers his fifty years of life_. A. peaceful B. ordinary C. satisfactory D. regretful24. We can infer from the passage that _. A. the old should lead a simple lifeB. the old should face the fact of aging C. the old should take more exerciseD. the old should fill themselves with curiosity BAll Summer Camp ProgramsLlandovery, Wales, UKLanguage and Music for Life(LMFL)Founded in 1997, Language and Music for Life offers unique 2-week summer music and language courses.

FLC was founded in 1997 in FranceCNot all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife, Guia, own a bed-and-breakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests fresh vegetables from the garden.The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twenty-five years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting and working with shade plantings. He says visitors to his often ask how to plant in shade spaces. He said, “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other options.”For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours a day of direct sunshine, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even twelve hours a day of full sun, it also shows how plants and tree roots can share nutrients and water. Mr. Hoffman also plants asparagus around a tree at its drip line, the area below the outer limit of the branches. So when it rains, all the rain drips down right on the asparagus.The Hoffmans website includes a list of vegetables, flowers and herbs that have produced acceptably for them in partial shade. Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better in partial shade than in full sun.Moving them out of the sun helps control an insect problem withleaf hoppers.Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticides (农药). Instead, he plants the potatoes at the drip line, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Leaf hoppers dislike shade, and the hottest part of the day is when they do the worst of their damage.Time of day, brightness of the sun, shadows from trees, walls and buildings, these all influence how much sunlight falls or does not fall on plants. And extension agent Curtis Swift at Colorado State University says people interested in shade planting should also remember something else. The term “shade” can describe different amounts of darkness. He says it can even mean different things in different parts of the world.28. Whats the authors purpose of writing the passage? A. To show vegetables can be planted in the shade. B. To recommend an approach to managing a website. C. To present a kind of eco-friendly lifestyle. D. To introduce Mark Hoffman and his family.29. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Food and flowers produce more in the shade. B. Food growing in the shade contains more nutrients. C. Sun can affect the production of some plants. D. Food growing in the shade is the best choice for most plants.30. By using asparagus as an example, the author wants to explain that_. A. asparagus prefers to grow in the shade B. how plants and tree roots share water C. vegetables grow better in partial shade D. how leaves gain sunshine under the tree31. The underlined words “leaf hoppers” in Para five may be a kind of _. A. plans B. pesticides C. insects D. potatoes DIt is always the same minority of top pupils, usually sitting in the front, who raise their hands to answer questions, while the majority switch off. This deep-seated classroom habit is widening the achievement gap in our schools, according to the education expert Dylan William.Some sort of randomization process is required, William long ago decided, and his unusual solution is to write the pupils names down on lollipop（棒棒糖）sticks, the teacher then pulling them at random from a pot. No one can hide-everyone is potentially in the firing line.Over the course of one summer term, he put the idea into practice on a mixed-ability class of 12- to 13-year-olds at a school in Borehamwood. The aim was to involve every pupil in the lesson.A further innovation-small, hand-held whiteboards for each student-came as a direct result of an unforeseen problem with the lollipop sticks.Unable to show off their brilliance in the front of the class, the regular hands-up group were getting frustrated, and had even started to become disruptive（捣乱的）. “The high-achieving girls were really struggling,” William says. “Theyre used to putting their hands up only when they know the answer. The random lollipop method was putting some of the high achievers into the unaccustomed position of sometimes not knowing the answer.”“Its kind of embarrassing, because Ive got this reputation for being smart,” says Emily, after she has been caught out marking her disapproval by secretly removing her lollipop stick from the pot. Hence the mini-whiteboard.“The idea with the mini-whiteboard is that the whole class writes their answers before displaying their boards to the teacher-and each other. You can get an overall view of what the whole class thinks,” William says.“People are always pushing new technology and expensive ways of raising students achievement, but the fact is that this is something that every school could do,” he says.32. Why did William decide to change the classroom habit?A. To make the classes interesting.B. To mobilize the whole class.C. To pick out high achievers.D. To relieve teachers stress.33. What does William think of the use of lollipop sticks?A. It will be popular with high achievers.B. It is mainly intended for 12- to 13-year-olds.C. It gives everyone the chance to make their voice heard.D. It will greatly strengthen teacher-student relationships.34. Why did Emily take out her lollipop stick?A. To leave a mark on it.B. To show her smartness.C. To keep it as a souvenir.D. To avoid having her pride hurt.35. What purpose does the mini-whiteboard serve?A. To motivate students to learn better.B. To strengthen the role of lollipop sticks.C. To inspire teachers to use new tools.D. To cover students shyness.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donnes Devotion. It was written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely lonely life. Without other people, life will become empty and sad. 36 There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegies How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. 37 It was later put into 28 languages.
