14、asons is small. Pruning involves cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the trees to grow in their own ways.First, pruning may be done to make sure that tr

15、ees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or de

16、ad wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus causing wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing the branches that are locking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provide

17、s an easy entry for diseases, but it is a wound that will heal (愈合). Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, or that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce the risk as far as possible. It

18、 is essential to make the area which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usual

19、ly done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without the interference (妨碍) from the leaves and it is, too, very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.（分数：2.50）(1).Why should pruning be done?A. Bec

20、ause it can make trees grow taller.B. Because it can improve the shape of the trees.C. Because it can get rid of the small ranches.D.

Because it can cover a rough surface.C. Because it can make a wound smooth.D. Because it can prevent dis

24、rest rate is. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks,

25、 which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. “The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with

26、 twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round peoples wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves. “Whether or not we are slaves of time today depend

27、s on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the t

28、ime. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candies, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious stud

29、ent of antiques should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your

30、 own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by the time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?（分数：2.50）(1).According to the passage, collecting antique clocks _.A. can hardly keep the value of your savingsB. will cost much of your moneyC. may increase your weal

31、thD. needs your bravery（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(2).By quoting (引用) the remark of a being from another planet, the author intends to _.A. suggest human beings are controlled by a clockB. describe why clocks can rule the planet EarthC. tell readers what clocks look likeD. compare clicks to human beings（分数：0.

32、50）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time?A. Counting the beating of ones own heart.B. Making use of candles, sand and water.C. Observing shadows cast by the sun.D. Keeping slaves busy day and night.（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(4).The underlined phrase “stately homes“

33、in Paragraph 4 means _.A. state-owned housesB. houses in very good conditionC. grand houses open to the publicD. houses where statesmen meet regularly（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(5).The purpose of the passage is _.A. to introduce the culture of antique clocksB. to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks

34、C. to compare different ways to make a future profitD. to tell people that we are the slaves of clocks（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.It seems that politicians around the world are thinking about the health of their countries. While in China, Chen Zhu has announced his plans for a universal health service and refo

35、rm across health services. Gordon Brown, the UK Prime Minister, has also announced he is planning to make some changes in our health service.The crux of Mr. Browns proposals is related to giving the NHS (National Health Service) a greater focus on prevention, rather than just curing patients.He is p

36、lanning to introduce increased screening for common diseases such as heart disease, strokes and cancer, for example, breast cancer. In Britain there are 200,000 deaths a year from heart attacks and strokes, many of which might have been avoided if the condition had been known about.Initially, the di

37、agnostic (诊断的) tests will be available for those who are vulnerable, or most likely to have the disease. One example is a plan to offer all men over 65 an ultrasound test to check for problems with the main artery (动脉), a condition which kills 3,000 men a year. The opposition have criticized Mr. Bro

38、wns proposals, saying that they are just a trick, and claiming that there is no proper timetable for the changes. They also say that Mr. Brown is reducing the money available for the treatment of certain conditions while putting more money towards testing for them.The NHS was founded in 1948, and is

39、 paid for by taxation. The idea is that the rich pay more towards the health service than the poor. However, in recent years there has been a great increase in the use of private health care, and its much quicker. The NHS waiting lists for operations can be very long, so many people who can afford i

40、t choose to pay for medical care themselves.（分数：2.50）(1).The underlined word “vulnerable“ in the fourth paragraph probably means _.A. sick B. weakC. wounded D. old（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(2).All the following statements are true except that _.A. all people should pay for their health care at the NHSB. some

44、g from diseasesC. the plan to reform the NHS in the UKD. the criticism of Mr. Browns proposals（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.The police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States

45、. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted the police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of Southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said that the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrat

46、ors were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstra

47、tions would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. “This project will beg

48、in on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law,“ he said. And the police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.

49、The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through the police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read “No Nukes is Good Nukes,“ “Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power,“ and “Stop Private Profits from Public Peril. “ They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by the police failed to dislodge the p
