BWhen my sister Mertie told me she had put out tomato plants last summer, I was quite impressed.Since she was a garden-beginner, Mertie resear

17、ched exactly how far apart to space her tomato plants; what kind of fertilizer to use; how to keep away the bugs（害虫）, 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

18、who had also put out tomato plants were already enjoying the fruit of their labor.Frustrated(upset), 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

19、 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

20、.”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 discourage

21、d 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 t

22、he 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.24. To better grow tomato plants,what d

23、id Mertie do?A. Using little fertilizer. B. Keeping them well close.C. Watering them daily. D. Controlling pests on them.25. Why did Merties tomato plants fail to produce at the expected time?A.

24、e didnt manage the garden well.D. Because they required more time to produce.26. What does the author compare tomatoes to in the text?A. Goals. B. Experiences.C. Time. D. Imagination.27.

25、ss sometimes needs a little patience.D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.C“Hey, little boy, will you support me when Im getting old?” Wang Wenshan, 35, asked his newborn baby as he hugged him at home.The Chinese tradition of raising sons to support parents in their old age has been weaken

26、ed by the rapidly growing economy and improved standard of living. As is the case with more and more developed countries, China faces an aging society. People are living longer and having fewer children. Therefore, many Chinese families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one ch

27、ild and supports four elderly parents. But few realize that a problem is likely to happen ahead.The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries. The Information Office of the State Council, Chinas cabinet, issued（发行） a white paper on measures China has been taki

28、ng to help its elderly population. The paper said Chinas population entered the aging period at the end of the 20th century and the proportion of people aged 60 and above accounted for over 10 percent of the entire population. By the end of 2005, China had nearly 144 million people over 60, accounti

29、ng for 11 percent of the population, according to the white paper.An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the problem concerns every aspect of society. It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problem

30、s. It also challenges the labor force supply and the pension system.“I used to think that its not an issue for me to provide for the aged,” said Wang, whose parents and parents-in-law all enjoy pensions and medical insurance. But last year Wangs father suffered from a serious illness and afterward W

31、ang began to feel the pressure on his shoulders.After his father recovered, Wang opened a bank account for each parent and put away some money in the account every month to prepare for future uncertainties. In addition, he has to save money every month to provide for his sons future education. “Im n

32、ow breaking my back to support my family: saving pensions for the parents, my sons education funds, and living costs.”Wang also bought some commercial old-age insurance for himself. “We have to take precautions（预防） before it is too late, and many of my colleagues share the same view,” he said.28. Wh

33、ich of the following is not caused by an aging society?A. Social problems. B. Unemployment.C. More pressure on each family. D. The problem of the pension system.29. From the passage, we can infer _.A. the aging problem is one of the concerns of the Chinese governmentB. China will encourage young cou

34、ples to have more than one childC. many people have realized the aging problemD. children will not support their parents in China30. Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined word “inevitably”?A. Surprisingly. B. Certainly.C. Hopefully. D. Evidently.31. From the passage, we can se

35、e that _.A. China is the only country to face an aging societyB. most of the developing countries face an aging societyC. countries with a large population face an aging societyD. more and more developed countries face an aging societyDHow many times do you check your Facebook page in a day to see w

36、hether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs(拇指) up”?Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, dont worrypsychological findings have shown its completely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive from receiving a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or

37、winning money, and we cant help wanting more. According to the findings, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈回路) in the teens brains is particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were active when they received “likes” on the social

38、 network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from them worked all the same.So, does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.

39、 In “why do people long for attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to copy these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and u

40、nappreciated” might also lead you to long for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous, or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do

41、about it? The answer is quite simple. “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem（自尊）but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psych

42、ology professor Jennifer Crocker.So perhaps the answer to our addiction to “likes” is simply to focus on something larger than ourselvesa hard, but a worthy one.32. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The thumbs up from complete strangers dont work.B. Desire for attention can definitely create anxiety

43、.C. Feeling ignored might lead you to be in need of attention.D. The brain of teenagers is seldom sensitive.33. Whats the reaction of receiving “likes” on the social network to the brain?A. The social and visual parts become more nervous. B. The social and visual parts of the brain are active.C. The

44、 physical and sense parts of the brain become less sensitive. D. The whole brain becomes cleverer.34. Who wants to get more attention according to the passage?A. The one who is the only child. B. The old who lives happily with children.C. The young who feels anxious. D. Teens who want to discover th

45、eir mistakes.35. Whats Crockers suggestion about the negative effects of getting self-esteem?A. Doing an interesting matter. B. Working harder than ever before.C. Having a bigger goal than their self. D. Not checking your Facebook page in a day.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

46、项为多余选项。 How to protect your ears You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night. When you get outside, your ears are ringing. You have to shout to be heard. 36 So no harm doneright? Not quite. Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually

47、cause serious- and irreversible(无法治愈的)- hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss, and one in 20 have mild hearing loss. 37 But the good news is that the

48、re plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage and still listen to the music you love: Ask around. Put your earbuds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what youre listening to. 38 Turn it down. Buy noise-canceling headphones.

49、 A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volumes. Take breaks. 39 So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet. 40 You can buy a cheap pair at any dru

50、gstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts or while playing or practicing your own music without changing the quality of the sound.A. Use earplugs.B. Keep the volume below 70 percent.C. If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.D. But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.E. L

51、ike every other part of your body, your ears need rest.F. Unfortunately, theres no way to get back hearing youve already lost.G.
