7、ind Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. We dont know what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely
8、 ancient. This is logical, Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and many other purposes. Tribes l
9、iving today in the jungle of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge“ at all. Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct conta
10、ct with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, dis
11、covered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on, humans would inc
12、reasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.
13、 16 It is logical that a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 People cannot survive without plants. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon teach botany to their chi
14、ldren at school. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 19 Our direct contact with plants grows with the process of industrialization. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 20 Today people usually acquire a large amount of botanical knowledge from textbooks. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not menti
15、oned 21 People living in the Middle East first learned to grow plants for food about 10,000 year ago. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 22 Once mankind began farming, they no longer had to get food from many varieties that grew wild. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 三、 概括大意与完成句子 (第 23

17、hing before he went to sleep each day. Whether he went to bed at 10 p.m. or 2:30 a.m. made no difference. 2. “Speed Reading“ courses teach students how to read more quickly. In such courses, teachers often ask students to find out how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this too: look at y
18、our watch every 5 or 10 minutes and write down the page number you have reached. 3. Obviously, you should not increase your reading speed if you do not understand what you are reading. If you find something you dont understand in the book, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what is said,
19、why not read the chapter again? 4. Take four or five pages of an interesting book you happen to be reading now. Read these pages as fast as you can. Dont worry about whether you understand or not. If you keep doing this “lightning speed“ reading for a period of time, you will usually find that your

The opening paragraph often suggests the general direction and content of the article, while paragraphs that follow expand or support the first. The closing paragraph often gives a sum

25、during the April-May stormy season. One of the ferries, MV Mitali, was carrying far more people than it was supposed to. About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300, police said. The second ferry carried about 100 passengers. “The number of deaths is certain to rise,“ said an official
26、 in charge of the rescue work. “No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them survived .“ Ferries in Bangladesh dont always keep passenger lists, making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board. Besides the ferry .accidents, at least 40 people w
27、ere killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes, falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats. Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh, as are boating accidents. Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people. Officials blame these river

33、y? One place to save money is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank (猪形储蓄罐 ), one year later youll still have the same amount of money you put in. If you put your money in a savings account, one Year later, youll
34、 have more money than you put in. Why? When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money (and the money of other people, too) to loan money to people and businesses. The bank will send you a stat
35、ement several times a year. A bank statement tells you how much money there is in your account. It also tells you how much interest you have earned.

But she says its not for another two blocks. Who has the better sense of direction? Men or women. They both do, a ne
42、w study says, but in different ways. Men and women, Canadian researchers have found, have different methods of finding their way. Men look quickly at landmarks (地标 ) and head off in what they think is the right direction. Women, however, try to picture the whole route in detail and then follow the p
43、ath in their head. “Women tend to be more detailed,“ said Edward Cornell, who led the study, “while men tend to be a little bit faster and.a little bit more intuitive (直觉感知的 ).“ in fact, said Cornell, “sense of direction“ isnt one skill but two. The first is the “survey method“. This is when you see
44、 an area from above, such as a printed map. You can see, for example, where the hospital is, where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right. The second skill is the “route method“. This is when you use a series of directions. You start from the hospital, then turn left, turn right, go
45、uphill and then you see the supermarket. Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions. Both work, and neither is better. Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history. They argue it is because of the differen
46、ce in traditional roles. In ancient times, young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt. The trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places. The only way to know where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks the mountains, the lakes and so on. The women
