He moved there a few years ago and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends My earliest memories of my father are a tall handsome successful man devoted to his work and his family but uncomfortable with his children As a child I loved him He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as successful as he was Whenever I went out with him on weekends I used to struggle to think up things to say feeling on guard On the first day of my visit we went out with one of my father s friends for lunch at an outdoor caf We walked along that afternoon did some shopping ate on the street table and laughed over my son s funny facial expressions 5 Gone was my father s critical 挑剔 air and strict rule Who was this person I knew as my father who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around What had held him back before The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood Although our times together became easier over the years I never felt closer to his at that moment After so many years I m at last seeing another side of my father And in so doing I m delighted with my new friend My dad in his new home in Arizona is back to me from where he was 51 Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult A He was silent most of the time B He

every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older Today 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65 The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways education medicine and business Quietly the graying 人口老化 of America has made us a very different society oneone in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages A person s age no longer tells you anything about his her position or health There is no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets retired The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school get a job or stop working isn t as strong as it used to be It doesn t surprise us to hear of a 29 year old university president or a 35 year old grandmother or a 70 year old man who has become a father for the first time Public ideas are changing Many people say I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age No one says Act your age any more We ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways 54 What way is NOTNOT mentioned in the article that the aging of the population will affect American society A Medicine B Business C Education D Marriage 55 The underlined word one in paragraph 1 refers to A a society B America C a place D population 56 Act your age means people should A show respect for their parents young or old

the text would most probably consider it A unbelievableB wonderful C normal D unreasonable C C If you talk to the plants they will grow faster and the effect is even better if you re a woman Researchers at Royal Horticultural Society carried out an experiment to find that the voice of a woman gardener makes plants grow faster The experiment lasted a month and by the end of the study scientists managed to discover that tomato plants grew up two inches taller when women gardeners talked to them instead of male Sarah Darwin was the one making the plants registered the best growth Her voice was the most inspiring for plants than those of nine other gardeners when reading a passage from The Origin of Species The great great granddaughter of the famous botanist 植物学家 Charles Darwin found that her plant grew about two inches taller than the plant of the best male gardener Colin Crosbie Garden Superintendent at RHS said that the finding cannot yet be explained He assumes that women have a greater range of pitch 音高 and tone 音调 which might have a certain effect on the sound waves that reach the plant Sound waves are an environmental effect just like rain or light said Mr Grosbie The study began in April at RHS Garden Wisley in Survey Scientists started with open auditions 听力 for the people who were asked to record passages from John Wyndham s The Day of the Triffids Shakespeare s A Midsummer s Night Dream and Darwin s The Origin of Species Afterwards researchers selected a number of different voices and played them to 10 tomato plants during a period of a month Each plant had headphones 耳机 connected to it Through the headphones the sound waves could hit the plants It was discovered that plants that listened to female voices on average grew taller by an inch in comparison to plants that heard male voices Miss Darwin said I think it is an honor to have a voice that can make tomatoes grow and especially fitting because for a number of years I have been studying wild tomatoes from the Galapagos Island at the Natural History Museum in London 58 What does the passage talk about A Plants enjoy men s voices than women s B A botanical experiment in a museum C Voice s influence on plant growing D Strange phenomenon 现象 at Royal Horticultural Society 59 What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean A Plants need sound as well as rain and light B Sound is basic for the plant to grow C Sound has a good effect as rain or light does D Plants can t live without sound rain or light 7 60 Sarah Darwin is most likely a an A botanist B gardener

summer That s an important perspective 态度 观点 You can t be so naive 无知的 as to think summer will last forever So ants are gathering their winter food in summer An ancient story says Don t build your house on the sand in summer There is some reason in what it says It is important to think ahead In summer you ve to think about the storm You ve got to think about freezing while you are enjoying the sand and the sun The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think about summer all winter That is also important During the winter ants remind themselves This won t last long we ll soon be out of here And on the first warm day the ants are out If it turns cold again they ll go back but then they come out again if it is warm They can t wait to get out And here is the last part of the ant
