You might not think of plants as dangerous, but in this case they are threatening natures delicate food chain.The invaders are plants brought here from other countries to make gardens and yards

12、look pretty. Ever since people started to arrive on Americas shores, they have carried along trees, flowers, and vegetables from other places. Now there are so many of those plants, they are crowding out the native plants that have lived here since before human settlers arrived.And thats a problem,

13、says Dr. Doug Tallamy. Hes insect expert at the University of Delaware. He explains that almost all the plant-eating insects in the United States are specialized, which means they eat only certain plants. Monarch butterfly caterpillars(幼虫),for example, dine on milkweed. If people cut down milkweed a

14、nd replace it with another plant, the butterflies will not have the food source that they need to survive.But the trouble doesnt stop there. When insects cant get the right plants to eat and they die off, then the birds dont have enough bugs for their meals. Tallamy points out that almost all migrat

15、ing birds depend on insets to feed their young.“We cannot let the plants and animals around us disappear.” says Tallamy, “The way to preserve them is to give them food to eat. But when we plant non-native plants, we are clobbering the food chain, because then we dont have the insects the birds need

16、to live.”Fewer of the right plants mean fewer bugs, and fewer bugs mean fewer birds. And thats bad for the Earth, because we need a variety of living things to keep the planet healthy and beautiful.The good news is, garden centers sell native plants. “Just Google native plants and your location, and

17、 you can find out which plants really belong where you live,” says Tallamy26. How did green invades arrive at America?A. They fell down from space.B. They floated to the Americas shores.C.

22、ht on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyers pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid

If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payme

25、nts. If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money.

31、ay of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didnt know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

32、My name is Rose. Im 87 years old.

She jokingly replied, “Im here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of c

33、hildren, and then retire and travel!”“No seriously “I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now Im getting one!” “she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose because a campus icon（偶像）and she eas

34、ily made friends wherever she went .She loved to dress up and she reveled（陶醉）in the attention bestowed（赠给）upon her from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. Ill never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop playing b

35、ecause we are old“; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success/You have to laugh and find humor everyday. Yourve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the

36、opportunity in change.” Have no regrets. The elderly usually dont have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us study the lyrics(

37、歌词)and live them out in our daily lives.At the years end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.36.

38、ation provided in the passage, we know_.A. Rose finished the college degree within a yearB. Rose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college educationC.

40、ne-year-old is as old as a 87-year-old if he doesnt do anything40. The best title for the passage can be_.A. Growing Older or Growing Up B. Its Never too Old to learnC. Humour Does Count D. Challenge YourselfDBeing sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family,

41、friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity(长寿)boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers（鳏夫）were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers.

42、 Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm. Even if the odds are stacked against you(the conditions are not favourable),marriage can more than compensa

43、te. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt

44、smoke. Theres a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses; death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more

45、than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms(机制).

46、For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, child

47、ren and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The best social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says:” People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”41. William Farrs study and other studies show that_.A. social life provides an effective cure for

48、 illnessB. Being sociable helps improve ones quality of lifeC. Women benefit more than men from marriageD. Marriage contributes a great deal to longevity42. Linda Waites studies support the idea that_.A. older men should quit smoking to stay healthyB. Marriage can help make up for ill healthC. The m

49、arried are happier than the unmarriedD. Unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life43. It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side”(Line5,Para2)refers to_.A. the disadvantages of being marriedB. The emotional problems arising from marriageC. The responsibility of taking care of o

50、nes familyD. The consequence of a broken marriage44. What does the author say about social networks?A. They have effects similar to those of a marriage.B. They help develop peoples community spirit.C. They provide timely support for those in need.D. They help relieve people of their lifes burden45.

51、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Its important that we develop a social network when young.B. To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.C. Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.D. We should share our social networks with each other.四、信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
