were treated with respect Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley s twin 15 year old children Mary and Nathaniel At that time most

Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christian At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem She became a Boston sensation after she CATTI 培训 wrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770 It became common practice in Boston to have Mrs Wheatley s Phyllis read poetry in polite society Mary married in 1771 and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health as a teacher and caretaker to a farmer s three children Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis s poems but once they heard she was a Negro they weren t interested Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel who was now a businessman to London It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health Thirty nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects Religious and Moral It was the first book published by a black American In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him He responded by praising her

in Africa C She went unrecognized as a poet during her lifetime D She only wrote religious poetry About fifty years ago plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins However they did not require organic nitrogen compounds These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds These activities by roots require energy of course The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compoundATP which drives the biochemical reactions Respiration also requires oxygen Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals In addition roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning Once leaves begin photosynthesizing they produce protein but only mature leaves can export protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids 61 What is the main topic of the passage A The relationship between a plant s roots and its shoots B What can be learned by growing roots in isolation C How plants can be grown without roots D What elements are necessary for the growth of plants 62 The underlined word themselves in Paragraph 1 refers to A plant physiologistsB solutions C laboratory flasksD roots 63 The scientists found what the isolated roots need is A quite natural B sugar minerals and vitamins C some rare vitamins D organic nitrogen compounds 64 Roots have the ability to A make proteins B obtain fresh air C produce inorganic nitrogen D carry out activities without energy 65 According to the passage what isATP A Abiochemical process CATTI 培训 B The tip of a root C Achemical compound D Atype of plant cell 66 The underlined word intact in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to A matureB wild C wholeD tiny 67 The use of the phrase comes in handy underlined in Paragraph 2 indicates that the process is A unavoidableB predictable C necessaryD successful 68 It can be inferred from the passage that in the early spring the buds of plants A export protein in the form of amino acids B do not require water C have begun photosynthesizing D obtain organic compounds from the root 69 Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage A The results of two experiments are compared B Ageneralization is made and several examples of it are given C The findings of an experiment are explained D Ahypothesis is presented and several means of proving it are suggested 70 Where is this passage likely to be found A Anewsletter B Amagazine C Astorybook D Anovel Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply For example the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1 of this cost Since the early twentieth century success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized these include vanillin the aromatic ingredient in vanilla and benzaldehyde the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries Other fragrances however have dozens even hundreds of components Only recently has it been possible to separate and identit3 these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy Once the chemical identity is known it is often possible to synthesize them Nevertheless some complex substances such as the aroma of fresh coffee have still not been duplicated satisfactorily Many of the chemical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances New products must be tested for safety and when used in food must be approved by the U S Food and Drug Administration The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied new car odor 71 From the passage we can learn that A natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dear B the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances is clear C the supply of
