15、w how to keep them for as long as possible. This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts.2 An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies have shown that cut carnations (康乃馨) retain their freshness eight times longer when ke

16、pt at 12 than when kept at 26. Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care.3 Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, such as bees, for pollination (授粉).

17、After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), called respiration (呼吸), generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and color. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things resp

18、ire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower

19、 dies.4 How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respiration. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower wi

20、ll age more slowly.5 Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to “drink“ water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can enda

21、nger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlorine bleach (含氯漂白剂) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach (at 4% solution) be added to each liter of water. The water and solution should also be replaced each day.A. Control

25、ods and the New WorldIn the last 500 years, nothing about peoplenot their clothes, ideas, or languageshas changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree(可可树) by South American Indians, The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during

26、 the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was

27、 widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine (饥荒)“ of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to th

28、e Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the worlds largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.

29、According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake“ feeling that one-third of the worlds population now starts the day with.（分数：15.00）(1).According to t

30、he passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years?（分数：3.00）A.FoodB.ClothingC.IdeologyD.Language(2).“some“ in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to _.（分数：3.00）A.some cocoa treesB.some chocolate drinks.C.some shopsD.some South American Indians(3).Thousands of I

31、rish people starved during the “Potato Famine“ because _.（分数：3.00）A.they were so dependent on potatoes that they refused to eat anything elseB.they were forced to leave their homeland and move to AmericaC.the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing potatoesD.the potato harvest wa

33、 drinks were first made by Arabs.B第二篇/BTeaching PoetryNo poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed“, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of

34、the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation“ of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the word in his or her own voi

35、ce, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting (背诵) it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing“ it, if there isnt

36、 time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life“, and “a heightening (提升) of life“. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling“, and it “can save your life“. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and liter

37、ature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who dont like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well

38、 as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.（分数：15.00）(1).To have a better understanding of a poem, one should _.（分数：3.00）A.discuss it with othersB.analyze it by oneselfC.copy it down in a notebookD.practice reading it aloud(2).Which of the

39、 following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?（分数：3.00）A.Extending your lifeB.Saving your lifeC.Criticizing lifeD.Heightening life(3).According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students _.（分数：3.00）A.to understand lifeB.to enjoy poetryC.to become teachersD.to bec

40、ome poets(4).What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?（分数：3.00）A.More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetryB.Poetry is more important than any other subjectC.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetryD.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literat

41、ure courses(5).The phrase “make room“ in the last paragraph could be best replaced by _.（分数：3.00）A.“build a booth“B.“provide equipment“C.“leave a certain amount of time“D.“set aside enough space“B第三篇/B“Salty“ Rice Plant Boosts HarvestsBritish scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants t

42、hat will be able to grow in soil containing salt water. Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive once more.Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex Universitys School of Biological Sciences, have spent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water t

43、hat has become salty.The pair has recently begun a three-year programme, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice.It is estimated t

44、hat each year more than 10m hectares (公顷) of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts (妨碍生长) plants. The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves (红树林) that create swamps (沼泽) and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down. In th

45、e Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep (渗透) in. In Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated (蒸发) by the heat, leaving salt deposits behind.Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning n

46、ormally. Heavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to survive.To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little slat and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants growth. They have st

47、arted to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use.Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all mann

48、ers of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world.（分数：15.00）(1).Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is true?（分数：3.00）A.They are students at Sussex University.B.They are

49、 rice breeders.C.They are husband and wife.D.They are colleagues at an institution of higher learning.(2).Flowers and Yeo have started a programmed（分数：3.00）A.to find ways to prevent water pollutionB.to identify genes that promote growth in salty soilC.to breed rice plants that taste saltyD.to find ways to remove excessive salt
