So she asked her dad for help.“Well,” he said. “How about this: you do some research first and then come back to me with a design.”A week later, Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad. She named her go-kart “Blue Lightning”. Dad looked over her work, thinking. “Well, thats interesting,” he said. “Have a try. Just build Blue Lightning as youve designed.”Over three weekends of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go-kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed.After she did that, Sally drove back to Dad. “Well,” she said. “Now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive.”“Oh, do you?” he said. “Please share.”“When I drove fast, there was a lot of pushback,” she said. “I think its because of the lightning bolt (闪电) shape.”“Very good!” Dad said.“So, why didnt you tell me about that problem in the first place?” Sally asked.Dad laughed. “Wheres the fun in that? If you give a man a fish, hell eat for a day. But if you teach a man to fish, hell eat for a lifetime.”Sally said, “I see. Anyway, designing is half the fun !”Dad smiled. “Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process. We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way.”That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder. When she showed Dad her new go-kart, he nodded with pride.Finally came the race. Sally wasnt worried about whether she would winin her mind, she had already won, by building something better than ever before.26 . Sally thought of building a go-kart to.Apractice drivingBenter for a raceCplay with friendsDdo some research27 . What did Sallys dad ask her to do after she built the go-kart?ATo have a test drive.BTo take a good rest.CTo give it a cool name.DTo paint it light blue.28 . Sallys story mainly tells us that .Awinning a race is importantBfishing brings us a lot of funCdriving experience is necessaryDlearning happens during the processWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation(代)?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much mere complex(复杂的)than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation(合作)and support, passing around necessary nutrition(营养)depending on who needs it. Nutrition is shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌)networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological(生态)system give and receive the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元)in our head, and when one tree is cut down, it influences the whole forest.Simard talks about mother trees，usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals(矿物质)to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” without noticing these highly complex tree societies or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing they chances of survival for the forest.We didnt take any notice of it. Simard says sadly. Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance. If we could put across the message to the forestry industry，we could make a huge difference to our environmental protection efforts for the future.29 . Mother trees are extremely important because they.Alook the largest in size in the forestBpass on nutrition to young treesCseem more likely to be cut down by humansDknow more about the complex tree societies30 . The underlined word it in the last paragraph refers to_.Ahow tree societies workBhow trees grow oldChow the forestry industry developsDhow young trees survive31 . What would be the best title for the passage?AOld Trees Communicate Like HumansBYoung Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionCTrees Are Useful to Our SocietyDTrees Are More Admirable Than You Think根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填人题前括号内。Travel Arrangements（安排）Date: 30 April, 2012 For: Wang MeiMay 4Leave BeijingAir China Flight CA 111Confirmed（确认）Please check-in（办理手续）at least two hours beforeleaving time10: 00 amMay 5Arrive in SydneyHotel bus will take you to the hotel 9：30 amMay 5Holiday in SydneyConfirmedIn: 5 May, 2012 0ut: 10 MayNights: 5 May 10Own arrangement with host familyMay 14Leave SydneyQantas Airline Ltd Flight QF 33312: 30 pmMay 14Arrive in PerthThe guide will collect you from the airport for fourdays return bus trip to Monkey Mia15: 30 pmMay 18Leave PerthQantas Airline Ltd Flight QF 444Confirmed11: 00 amMay 18Raffles Hotel, SingaporeIn: 18 May, 20120ut: 19 MayNights: 1 May 19Arrive in Beijing 16: 00 pm32 .
