21、Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?
UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex 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 and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.
Nitrogen（氮）and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌） networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just 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 brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.
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 to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.
“We didn't 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 towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.
【1】What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B. Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection
C. Trees Contribute To Our Society
D. Trees Are More Complex Than You Think
【2】In Simard's opinion, trees _______
A. compete for survival
B. protect their own wealth
C. depend on each other
D. provide support for dying trees
【3】We can learn from the passage that____________.
A. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.
B. Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.
C. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected.
D. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.
【4】The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to_________.
A. how “tree societies” work
B. how trees grow old
C. how forestry industry develops
D. how young trees survive
22、 Has anyone noticed how, with the passage of time, one’s relationship with one’s grown-up daughters and sons becomes changed? I’ve been aware of this for some time but I’m not quite sure how to deal with it.
Take the kitchen sink for example.
Following a family get-together at my place, I walked into the kitchen to find Kate, my daughter carefully cleaning the sink.
“Don’t do that; what are you doing that for?” I said, unhappy about the hidden criticism.
“Mum,” she said, “you really ought to put your glasses on when you clean the sink. Behind the tap here was black!”
But it’s not just things like kitchen sinks. Another time Kate arrived to pick me up to lunch. She looked at me and then asked, “Mum, why do you use brown eyebrow pencil when your hair is grey?”
A sudden memory of her, aged 14, going to her first mixed party flooded back. She had come in to say goodbye. For a moment I thought she’d been an accident. Both eyes were black. I remember suggesting that perhaps a little less eye make-up might be more effective.
Now I told her, “My hair used to be brown.”
“It looks absurd.”
“Mrs. Menzies had dark eyebrows with grey hair.”
“Yes, but you’re not Mrs. Menzies, are you?” she said triumphantly, as if that proved her point.
But a recent event made me realize that something really must be done.
She had returned some for a few weeks before getting married. One evening I went out on a dinner date. By the time my companion left me at the front door, it was about 2am. As I stepped in, an angry figure in a white nightgown stopped me.
“Well, what time of night is this to be coming home?” she shouted. “Where have you been? I’ve been worried sick!”
Shades of the past come back to disturb me. But what should I do about all this? Nothing, probably. Maybe, after all, it’s only a stage young people are going through.
【1】The daughter thought her mother didn’t clean the kitchen sink well because of her .
A.laziness B.carelessness C.unhappiness D.poor-quality glasses
【2】From the passage we know the daughter .
A.didn’t want to help with the sink
B.didn’t like brown eyebrow pencils
C.had an accident when she went to her first party
D.shouted at her mum because she came home late
【3】How does the mother feel after all these have happened?
A.Shocked. B.Proud. C.Envious. D.Confused.
【4】The author writes the stories to prove that .
A.their relationship became stronger
B.their roles changed as time passed
C.her daughter very much cared about her
D.her daughter got upset as she grew up
23、 As recently as 15 years ago, if you wanted to catch up on the news, you could look at a handful of publications or a few nightly programs. And if you wanted to listen to music, you could turn on MTV or fiddle with your radio. People in major cities had more options, because a large population can support specialty shops. 【1】.
Today, as we all know, access to information has exploded. One consequence, according to Toure, a cultural critic writing in Salon, is that the ability of pop culture to unify us-- he refers to the massive interest in Michael Jackson’s Thriller, or Nirvana’s Nevermind--has been eroded, probably forever. Steven Hyden, also writing in Salon, counters that whatever the advantages and disadvantages of a centralized pop-culture authority, the monoculture never actually existed.
【2】 Even when it supposedly existed, its content largely depended on other characteristics of your little corner of the world. In the 1992-1993 school year, I was a student at a multiracial and relatively urban junior high school in California’s central valley. We listened to Salt-n-Pepa, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and Kris Kross, with the latter having inspired a trend in which kids wore their clothes backwards. The next year I was enrolled in a mostly white junior high school in leafy Chiago suburb. One of the houses was famous for having appeared in the 1990 film “Home Alone”; the popular bands were Nirvana, Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins; and the biggest pop-cultural event of the school year was Kurt Cobain’s suicide.
But Toure’s point is about the virtues of common cultural experience. It seems he is recalling centralized media only in so far as it’s a distribution system that fostered ( 促进) that outcome.
【3】 It doesn’t matter whether a record is released by an important label or an indie ( 独立制片人); if it’s online, people can usually find, forward, share and promote it. But what’s interesting and perhaps surprising, given that both Toure and Mr Hyden seem to agree that the old distribution favored big media, is that we still have widely shared cultural experiences. Just think of Barack Obama doing the little hand gesture from Beyonce’s “Single Ladies ” video.
【4】. It’s safe to say that the monoculture never really existed, and that some artists still reach a wide audience, whether we like it or not.
A.That suggests that we like pop culture partly because it’s a shared experience, regardless of quality.
B.However, in vast areas of the world you had to work to get outside the mainstream.
C.Whether you like it or not, “monoculture” is here with us.
D.I think Mr Hyden is correct that the concept of a “monoculture” is a bit of a myth.
E.They see globalization as being the spread of a monoculture, based on western values, which is killing the cultural diversity of the world.
F.And it’s true that the ways we now consume pop culture to some extent level the playing field.
24、Drinking alcohol is a socially acceptable behavior in many parts of the world．Some medical experts say light drinking may even be good for your health, especially for the heart．But they say such health benefits should be compared to the many health risks connected with alcohol use．
Some research suggests that having one to two drinks of alcohol a day may offer some health benefits．Several large studies have shown that this type of moderate(适量的) drinking may lower the risk of heart disease and other diseases．
A study last year suggested that drinking small amounts of red wine may help lower the risk of breast cancer in women．Researchers at Medical Center in California studied 36 women．Each woman drank a glass of red or white wine every day for almost a month．Researchers collected blood samples from the women two times a month to measure their hormone(激素) levels．The next month the women who drank red wine were told to drink white wine instead．The white wine drinkers were told to drink red wine．The researchers found that the women who drank red wine had lower levels of the female hormone than the white wine drinkers．They said red grapes have chemicals that may help to lower the risk of breast cancer．
However, recent studies suggested that even small amounts of alcohol may generally increase the risk of breast cancer in women．They found that women who drink four small glasses of wine a week increase their risk of breast cancer by 15 percent．
Many studies have examined the harmful effects of alcohol use on the body．Alicia Ann Kowalchuk serves as medical director, saying “Healthy use for adults --- that's men under age 65 --- is no more than 4 drinks in a day and no more than 14 drinks in a week．And for women of all ages, it's no more than 7 drinks in a week and no more than 2 drinks in a day．” She says too much alcohol use has been linked to liver diseases, and many other cancers．
【1】How did the researchers carry out their study?
A． By following an example．
B． By listing facts．
C． By collecting information worldwide．
D． By comparing tested objects．
【2】Which of the following is the most beneficial to women with breast cancer?
A． A glass of white wine per day．
B． A glass of red wine per day．
C． Small amounts of alcohol per day．
D． Four small glasses of wine per day．
【3】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Nowadays, cars have become a very common vehicle in our life. As one of the most important transport, cars have improved our modern life in many ways. However, cars also bring about so many problems for people, which should be given more attention than any time before.
Cars enable people to travel to any place they like. Many people begin to travel frequently. This helps people connect with each other better than before. A more obvious influence of cars is the large number of jobs that they create. Jobs in several fields open up thanks to cars, such as jobs in car factories, gas stations and highways. This is a huge positive influence on society because they greatly reduce the unemployment rate.
At the same time, the problems that cars cause seem to be more and more serious. A mass use of cars is bound to have some negative consequences. The widespread use of cars has led to serious traffic jams in cities. They have resulted in a reduction in the use of public transportation in many cities. The need to use and develop public transportation has been much discussed and confirmed. And also, car accidents result in a number of injuries and deaths. There are hundreds of thousands of them worldwide every year. Exhaust fumes of cars pollute the air in cities around the world. Air pollution causes serious health problems and even results in the death of many people. It has become one of the most serious problems today. Efforts to develop pollution-free engines may be the final solution to this problem.
In conclusion, people should not only enjoy the benefits of cars, but also aim to deal with the problems cars have created. At the same time, the government should improve city traffic systems, encourage people to use public transportation, make efforts to improve road safety and encourage the usage of green fuels. Only in these ways can the benefits of cars outweigh their harmfulness.
