11、 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 didnt get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of magical land of p

12、ossibility, 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.Bu

13、t 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.F

14、or the first few years after he died, I couldnt even bear to look at anyones 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

15、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.21Why did the author like the garden when he was a child?A.

But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice

19、 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 atmosp

20、here 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

21、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 l

22、ook 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

23、enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled（未取样）.

26、 A news reportC. A travel brochure. D. A science magazine.28The best title for the text may be .A. Secrets of the RainforestB. Climates of the AmazonC. The History of the RainforestD. Changes of the RainforestWhile most of us are happy to take the credit when things go well, few of us are willing to

27、 take the blame when things go wrong. Rather than trying to hide our shame or embarrassment, experts found that we are simply less aware when our actions result in a negative outcome.The research may explain why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions.“Our result suggests that people

28、 may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes,” said Patrick Haggard, leading researcher and professor of the institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London.In a series of tests, participants were asked to press a key. A sound then followed, eit

29、her disapproving, neutral or approving, and they were then asked to estimate the time between the action and when they had heard the sound.Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes.

30、to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence, compared to when they had done well.“Effectively, we have found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just retell it differently. We make a weaker connection when there is a bad result. And respond much more strongly w

31、hen something good happens,”said Professor Haggard. When something goes right, everyone wants to take the credit, and when things go wrong, nobody is interested in putting their hands up.The researchers said our brain is“very much concerned”with reward, as good results are key to survival. Although

32、our own perception(认知) of whether we are guilty of something or not is changed by the outcomes, this does not provide a defense if we have done something wrong.“Our experience of our own responsibilities can be misleading and can be strongly colored by the outcomes of our actions.”said Professor Hag

33、gard.“We have to take responsibility for what actually do, not just for how we experience things.”29People who dont take the blame for their actions .A.always try to hide their shame or embarrassment.B.are only willing to take the credit when things go wellC.feel less responsible for negative than f

53、适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。An old proverb says, “Friends are like wine; the older, the better.” So, nowadays many people consider old friends to be 42 (important) than new friends. For example, if two pieces of advice 43 (give) to solve a problem, one from a new friend and the other from 44 old frien

54、d, people always tend to 45 (adoption) the latter one, although the new friends advice may be better.46 (disagree) with the old proverb, I believe that new friends are not 47 (necessary) worse than old friends. Why? Because the length of time cannot determine whether your friendship is better or not

55、.Once you call someone friend, he must be a person who is 48 (rely) and whose interests are in common with 49 (you). As time goes by, a friends outside look may change, but the inside characters of him and his interests 50 (change).It is just these unchangeable characters and interests 51 make him a friend to you. Therefore, on this point, there is no difference between old friends and new
