From school-level projects to higher-level scientific experiments, the effect of music on plants has been a confusing and debatable topic.We know music is sound and sound is nothing more than a wave. Plant growth is a result of the cell division that takes place within the cells. But why is music associated with plant growth? In humans, music has a strong effect on our health and mood, and over the years, people have claimed that the same effect has been observed on plants, too. Plants are sensitive by nature, and many people claim that they have feelings just as humans do. There are stories about plants shedding tears. Although scientists do not support these as facts, these myths have led them to take up various experiments on plants.Various studies have proved that plants respond to acoustic (音响的) energy. It increases their rate of growth and their size, and influences their overall health. Dan Carlson, after a thorough study over a span of many years, has reached a conclusion that music helps plants absorb nutrients(养分) more efficiently.It took Dan about fifteen years to develop a foliage spray (叶面喷剂) that is used beneficially with the sound frequencies. Carlson calls this spray “Sonic Bloom”. His findings have proved to be beneficial for countless farmers and have resulted inaccording to Guinness Book of World Recordsthe largest indoor plant on record.The Purple Passion was treated with the Sonic Bloom process. It grew to be 1,300 feet tall and was alive even after 25 years. Its normal lifespan(寿命), however, is 18 months and it grows not more than 18 feet tall. The book, Secret of the Soil, writes about Sonic Bloom and its results. Sonic Bloom is also sold in the market.24. What inspired scientists to experiment with plants?A. The effects of music on humans.B. Plants are sensitive by nature.C. The cell division taking place within the cells.D. Peoples debatable opinion of the effect music has on plants.25. What is the main idea of Para. 3?A. Nutrients are important to plants.B. Music can have some good effects on plants.C. How the rate of growth of plants can be improved.D. What kinds of music can contribute to the growth of plants.26. What did Dan Carlson develop?A. A spray called “Sonic Bloom”.B. A method to grow larger plants.C. A special plant that grows very fast.D. Acoustic energy that plants respond to27. Why is the Purple Passion included in Guinness Book of World Records?A. It is the oldest indoor plant.B.

It can grow in the toughest conditions.CWhen my sister Mertie told me she had put out tomato plants last summer, I was quite impressed.Since she was a garden-beginner, Mertie researched exactly how far apart to space her tomato plants; what kind of fertilizer to use; how to keep away the bugs, etc. Once they were planted, she took care of them daily, anxiously awaiting the juicy tomatoes to appear. But, day after day, her plants were tomato-less while all of her neighbors who had also put out tomato plants were already enjoying the fruit of their labor.Frustrated, Mertie gave in and went to the market to search fresh tomatoes. While paying, Mertie told the farmer her troubles. The farmer paused to think for a moment and then asked, “Well, what kind of tomatoes did you plant?”“I think they were called Big Boy,” Mertie remembered.“Well theres your problem,” the farmer explained. “Big Boy and Better Boy tomatoes have a 95-day growing period whereas regular tomato plants produce fruit in as few as 70 daysyou just have to wait a little longer for the Big Boys.”With that new knowledge, Mertie went home with excitement, knowing they would be worth the wait.Thinking about my sisters gardening experience, I had to smile. She just didnt know that Big Boy tomatoes took longer-neither did I-but once she discovered that information, she was no longer discouraged and upset about the lack of tomatoes on her plants. Instead, she was encouraged and excited to see them a few weeks later.It makes me wonder how many of us have “Big Boy” dreams in our hearts, yet we just dont realize that they are of the “Big Boy” variety so we are discouraged and worn out with the waiting process. Instead of waiting with excitement, we give up on our dreams and figure we must have done something wrong to stop them from coming to pass. Frustrated, we see other peoples dreams coming true, and we wonder why ours havent yet been achieved.28. What is not mentioned in the passage when growing tomato plants?A. Watering them regularly. B. Keeping them well apart.C. Using suitable fertilizer. D. Controlling pests on them.29. Why did Merties tomato plants fail to produce at the expected time?A. Because she grew the wrong kind of tomatoes.B. Because they were destroyed by her neighbors.C. Because they required more time to produce.D. Because she didnt manage the garden well.30. What does the author compare tomatoes to in the text?A. Experiences. B. Goals.C. Time. D. Imagination.31. What does the text intend to show us?A. Its better late than never.B. Success sometimes needs a little patience.C. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.DThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.32What does the author say about silence in conversations?AIt implies anger.BIt promotes friendship.CIt is culture-specific.DIt is content-based.33Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?AThe Russians.BThe French.CThe Mexicans.DThe Chinese.34What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?ALet it continue as the patient pleases.BBreak it while treating patients.CEvaluate its harm to patients.DMake use of its healing effects.35What may be the best title for the text?ASound and SilenceBWhat It Means to Be SilentCSilence to Native AmericansDSpeech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分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Many students have to live with roommates while going to school or university.
