Because of my
19、husbands job, we have never had time to go to places like the pool or the beach together this summer. Ive got a lot more comfortable with taking them to other places but taking them both to water still scares me a lot.At six years old Cameron can hardly swim. Sure, he has got all the confidence in t
20、he world but hes lacking in skills. He loves the water and has confidence; in my book thats a sign of disaster. Poor little Logan will be four years old and is just now taking his first swimming lessons.I think that my own inability to swim has made it OK for me not to get the kids swimming. The bes
21、t I can do is to keep myself alive until help comes, but I know the basics. I guess if it meant saving one of the boys I could probably make it.As the boys cant swim, I think this will be the summer when they learn. In the past four weeks both of the boys have been taking swimming lessons. Monday th
22、rough Thursday, I spend an hour or so watching them learn how to avoid drowning.I have to give them both credit; they have improved ten-fold in the short amount of time. Cameron can actually swim. He doesnt have the endurance yet and the facts show that he has to work harder than the other kids but
23、hes getting it. Logan cried for the first few lessons and really wanted nothing to do with swimming. He is not as confident as his older brother but he is getting more comfortable in the water. For a kid who has hardly spent any time in water outside of the bathtub, he is doing an amazing job.26 We

27、f swimming30 Trees should only be pruned(修剪) when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damag
28、e results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees 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 thic
29、ken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the cent
30、re and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that ther
31、e is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk as far as possible. It is important to make that 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
32、 then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly
33、.31 What can we infer from the passage?（A）The author tends to favor pruning frequently.（B） Its easy to find a reason to prune trees.（C） Pruning trees properly is not easy.（D）Pruned trees will always grow taller.32 The benefits of pruning might include_.（A）the pruned trees may stop growing（B） trees m
34、ay become healthier（C） side branches may give way to unwanted branches（D）branches have the chance of rubbing against each other33 Unwanted branches blocking the center should be cut away so that（A）trees can have more sunlight（B） trees can have a desired shape（C） trees can grow healthily（D）air can mo
35、ve about freely34 According to the passage, after pruning,_.（A）pruned trees may get infected easily（B） the open wound will heal at once.（C） the disease often wins the race（D）the cut surface should be left unpainted35 What can we do to keep trees away from disease?（A）Paint the cut surface as soon as
36、possible.（B） Make the cut surface rougher.（C） Cover the cut surface with anything available.（D）Make the cut surface smooth and clean.35 Many psychologists in the early twentieth century believed that humans use only 10 percent of their brains, and even the great Albert Einstein once wrote that most
37、people use only a small portion of the grey matter between their ears. Its a theory that has often been put forward in television documentaries, magazines, advertisements and books over the past century.But nearly all scientists now agree the 10 percent theory is completely unfounded. In fact, they
38、question how this figure was ever arrived at in the first place and what areas of the brain are supposed to be unneeded. The theory supposes that if 90 percent of the brain were removed, a person would still be able to function normally, while in reality it is known that damage to even a small area
39、of the brain can result in extremely serious physical injuries and that many areas of the brain are used at the same time for some complex activities or thought processes.Throughout the course of one day, most areas of the brain are active at some time, even during sleep. The 10 percent theory sugge
40、sts that certain areas of the brain are not used, but scans slow activities throughout the entire brain and not in any separate part. The final argument against the 10 percent theory is the fact that doctors carefully map the brain before removing brain cancers so that they dont affect other essenti
41、al areas.From an evolutionary point of view, its highly unlikely that our comparatively larger brains would have evolved from our ancestors if the extra areas were not needed. In fact, there is absolutely no evidence to support the 10 percent theory.36 How did the 10 percent theory get such widespre
42、ad popularity?（A）It was promoted in various types of popular media.（B） Albert Einstein argued strongly in support.（C） It was proven in scientific research.（D）Few people could prove it wrong.37 The underlined word “unfounded“ is closed in meaning to “_“.（A）undiscovered（B） unproven（C） unknown（D）unnece
43、ssary38 Which of the following is TRUE according to the writer?（A）We use less than 10% of our brains.（B） Most brain disorders affect the same part of the brain.（C） The brain is less active during times of sleep.（D）The 10 percent theory does not make evolutionary sense.39 What can we infer from the p
44、assage?（A）People today use more of their brain than in the past.（B） Scientific opinion about the topic of brain use is equally divided.（C） Our understanding of the brain has changed greatly in the past decades.（D）Modern scientists have a complete picture of how the brain works.40 What is the main pu
45、rpose of the passage?（A）To present two sides of brain theory,（B） To criticize the 10 percent theory.（C） To explain how brain works.（D）To describe the history of brain research.二、Cloze40 What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I received an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, a
46、gainst a(n)【C1】_ of 100, scored 160.I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not possibly【C2】_ more than 80.【C3】_, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to himand he always fixed it.Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man designed questions for some intelligence
47、 tests. By every one of them Id prove myself a【C4】_ . In a world where I have to work with my hands, Id do poorly.Consider my auto-repair man again. He had a habit of telling jokes. One time he said,“ Doc, a deaf-and-dumb man【C5】_ some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on th
48、e counter and made hammering movements with the【C6】_ hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He【C7 】_ his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk brought him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the next man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors. 【C
49、8】 _ do you suppose he asked for them?“ I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out【C9】_ and said, “Why, you fool, he used his voice and asked for them. Ive been trying that on all my customers today, but I knew【C10】_ Id catch you.“ “Why is that?“ I asked. “Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc. I knew you couldn
