翻耕的 soil my hands blackened from digging in the ground As a child I loved following Dad around in the garden I remember Dad pushing the tiller 耕作机 ahead in perfectly straight lines Dad loved growing all sorts of things yellow and green onions watermelons almost as big as me rows of yellow com and our favorite red tomatoes As I grew into a teenager I didn t get so excited about gardening with Dad Instead of magical land of possibility it had turned into some kind of prison As Dad grew older his love for gardening never disappeared After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own Dad turned to gardening like never before Even when he was diagnosed with cancer he still took care of his garden But then the cancer bit by bit invaded his body I had to do the things he used to do What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone Too tired to weed them he simply let them be He only planted tomatoes For the first few years after he died I couldn t even bear to look at anyone s garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket Three years ago I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes That morning after breaking up a fair amount of soil something caught the comer of my eye and I had to smile It was my eight year old son Nathan happily playing in the freshly tilled soil 21 Why did the author like the garden when he was a child A The garden was planted with colorful flowers B The garden was just freshly tilled by his father C He loved what his father grew in the garden D He enjoyed being in the garden with his father 22 When all the kids started their own families the author s father A stopped his gardening B turned to other hobbies C devoted more to gardening D focused on planting tomatoes 23 What happened to the garden when the author s father was seriously ill A The author s son took charge of it B No plant grew in the garden at all C The garden was almost deserted D It brought the author a great harvest 24 We can infer from the last paragraph that A the author s son played happily in the garden B the author s son reminded him of his own father C the author s son was very glad to help the author 4 D the author s son will continue gardening as well B B Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy warm damp and thick But if you had been there around 15 000 years ago during the last ice age would it have been the same For more than 30 years scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold dry climate of the ice ages but till now no one has reached a satisfying answer Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change If it gets drier will it survive and continue to draw down CO2 Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past Unfortunately collecting information is incredibly difficult To study the past climate scientists need to look at fossilized pollen 花粉 kept in lake mud Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments 沉淀物 which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery There are very few roads and paths or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled 未取样 So far only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change 25 How do scientists study the past climate change A By predicting the climate change in the future B By drilling down deep into land sediments C By analyzing fossilized pollen in lake mud D By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon 26 Why is it difficult to collect information about the past climate change A Because scientists can t find proper equipment and machinery B Because it is very difficult to obtain complete samples C Because helicopters and aeroplanes have no place to land D Because none of the cores provide any information 27 Where is the passage most probably taken from A A medical journal B A news report C A travel brochure D A science magazine 28 The best title for the text may be A Secrets of the Rainforest B Climates of the Amazon C The History of the Rainforest D Changes of the Rainforest C C 5 Bringing up children is hard work and you are often to blame for any bad behavior of your children If so Judith Rich Harris has good news for you Parents she argues have no important long term effects on the development of the characteristics of their children Far more important are their playground friends and neighborhood Ms Harris takes to hitting the belief which has controlled developmental psychology for almost half a century Ms Harris s attack looks likely to strengthen doubts that the field was already having If parents matter why is it that a pair of twins raised in the same home are no more alike than a pair of twins raised in different homes Difficult as it is to follow the exact effects of parental upbringing it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer group in childhood and youth Ms Harris points how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at school in the way their parents speak But gaining a language is surely a skill rather than a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists look for Certainly it is different from growing up tensely or relaxed or from learning to be honest or hard working Easy though it may be to prove that parents have little effect on those qualities it will be hard to prove that peers have much more Moreover mum and dad surely cannot be ditche4 completely Young adults may as Ms Harris argues be eager to appear like their peers But even in those early years parents have the power to open doors they may firstly choose the peers with whom their young mix Moreover most people suppose that they come to be similar to their parents more in middle age So the balance of influences is probably complex as most parents already doubted without being able to prove it scientifically Even if it turns out that the genes they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as love and good example parents are not completely off the hook 29 According to Ms Harris A parents are to blame for any bad behavior of their children B children s personality is mostly shaped by their friends and neighbors C nature has a significant effect on children s personality development D parents will greatly influence their children s life in the long run 30 The underlined word ditched in Paragraph 4 could best be replaced by A proved B emphasized C compared D ignored 31 Which statement will developmental psychologists agree with A Twins raised in two separate families are different in personality B Twins raised in the same home are different in personality C Upbringing has a less significant effect on children s personality D Children from immigrant homes are more influenced by their peers 32 What is the author s attitude towards Ms Harris opinion A FearfulB DoubtfulC ApprovedD Disappointed D D The Best of Alaska 6 Nothing evokes 唤起 Alaska like a whale exploding out of the water or an eagle pulling a silver fish from the river

62 give to solve a problem one from a new friend and the other from 63 old friend people always tend to 64 adoption 9 the latter one although the new friend s advice may be better 65 disagree with the old proverb I believe that new friends are not 66 necessary worse than old friends Why Because the length of time cannot determine whether your friendship is better or not Once you call someone friend
