7．My mother loves flowers．As soon as warm weather comes around，you will find her planting，watering and weeding over everything．For many years we lived next door to each other，and she spent as much time in my garden as she did her own．After the flowers became plentiful each summer，she would cut colorful bouquets（花束）to enjoy inside the house-both hers and mine．I would often come home from work and find a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers on my coffee table．
Shortly before Christmas one year，a local flower shop offered a bouquetamonth special．It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years．
After the holidays，in early January，I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first month's bouquet．The small fresh colorful bouquet would hardly fill a small vase．
I was so embarrassed．However，after we returned home，she began to arrange the flowers she had received．"Mom，I'm sorry，"I told her．"I can't believe how skimpy that bouquet is．"She looked at me and smiled．"It's okay，"she said．"It allows me to better enjoy the beauty of each one．"
Mom's words helped me to realize something bigger and more important-when we have too many good things，we often fail to enjoy the beauty of each one．
Thanks，mom，for helping me understand that less is sometimes more．

分析本文讲的是妈妈跟女儿之间的故事，本来妈妈在她跟女儿的院子里种了花，并用花为女儿装饰了房子，女儿为感谢妈妈而去花店为妈妈买了一束花，但是这一束花太少了，女儿对妈妈感到抱歉，但是妈妈却教给女儿一个道理；有时候有些东西不是越多越好，数量少一点，对个体的关注就多一些．

解答 21-24．ABDD
21．A考查细节推理，根据文章第一段的I would often come home from work and find a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers on my coffee table．我每次放学回家，总会发现咖啡桌上布置了漂亮的花束．可见是她妈妈在她的桌子上放下这些花的，故本题答案为A选项．
22．B考查细节推理，根据文章第二段的It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years．这似乎是个感谢妈妈这些年为她所做的好机会．可知本题答案为B选项．
23．D考查细节推理，根据文章第三段的small fresh colorful bouquet would hardly fill a small vase．小花束很难填满这个小花瓶．可知作者感到很窘迫，因为她感觉到自己送的花束太小了，这里根本没有提及价格．Skimpy，就是瘦小的，故本题答案为D选项．
24．D考查推理判断，本文讲的是妈妈跟女儿之间的故事，本来妈妈在她跟女儿的院子里种了花，并用花为女儿装饰了房子，女儿为感谢妈妈而去花店为妈妈买了一束花，但是这一束花太少了，女儿对妈妈感到抱歉，但是妈妈却教给女儿一个道理；有时候有些东西不是越多越好，数量少一点，对个体的关注就多一些．故本题答案为D选项"用其它的方式看待事情"．

15．To extinguish （熄灭） different kinds of fires，several types of fire extinguishers have been invented．They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out．Most portable （手提式的） kinds operate for less than a minute，so they are useful only on small fires．The law requires ships，trains，buses and planes to carry extinguishers．
Since fuel，oxygen and heat must be present in order for fire to exist，one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire．If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature，the fire goes out．The cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire．Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get．
Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen．This is usually done by covering the fire with sand，steam or some other things．A blanket may be used to cover a small fire．
A third method is called separation，which includes removing the fuel，or material easy to burn，from a fire，so that it can find no fuel．
The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire．Fires have been grouped in three classes．Fires in wood，paper，cloth and the like are called Class A fires．These materials usually help keep the fire on．Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water．

8．If a fire breaks out on a bus，which of the follow should be ready there for you to use？D
A．Sand
B．Water
C．A blanket．
D．An extinguisher．
9．To cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin（盆） in order to stop the fire is an example ofA
A．cutting off the oxygen

2．Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound．In one second，light travels about 300，000km，but sound travels only 344m．You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race．If you stand some distance away from the starter，you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears．This great speed of light produces some strange facts．Sunlight takes about 8minutes to reach us．If you look at the light of the moon tonight，remember that the light rays（光线）left the moon 1.3seconds before they reached you．The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2million km per minute．In some cases（在某种情况下）the light from one of tonight's stars started on its journey to you before you were born．
Thus，if we want to be honest，we cannot say"The stars are shinning tonight．"We have to say，"The stars look pretty．They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth．"

41．If you stand 200meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race，you will find out thatB．
A．you can hear the gun before you see the smoke．

A．moon light
B．light rays
C．the nearest star

A．the  stars have been shining all the time．
B．the  stars seen tonight will be shining four years later．
C．the  stars were shining long ago but are seen tonight．
D．the  starlight seen today could be seen four years ago．

12．Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles（塑料瓶）？Some people think it is healthy and clean．Others drink bottled water because it's easy-you can carry it around with you．In hot countries，like Greece，we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer．
However，making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons．First of all，we need a lot of oil for plastic products．We usually use oil as a source of energy．If we reduced the number of bottles we made，we wouldn't need so much oil．Plastic bottles also pollute the environment．If we reused all our plastic bottles，we wouldn't need so much space for rubbish dumps．But in Greece，we don't reuse much of the plastic we use．In 2006，Greeks reused only about 10% of plastic waste．The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas．
So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin，stop and think．If you reuse it，you would help the environment．But what can you do when there isn't a bin near you？Well，there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again．For example，an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money，and if you cut a bottle in half，you will have a plant pot．Go green!You can make a difference．．
28．What is not mentioned about bottled water in this passage？D
A．It's healthy．
B．It's clean．
C．It's easy．
D．It's expensive．
29．Plastic products are made fromB．
A．energy
B．oil
C．rubbish
D．plants
30．Which is the best way to deal with used plastic bottles？A
A．To reuse them．
B．To make a piggy bank．
C．To make a plant pot．
D．To drop them into the river．
31．The underlined part in this passage tells us"C"．
A．To make a different life，you'd better go outside．
B．To look different，you'd better wear green clothes．
C．To protect the environment，you can do something．
D．To go green，you should use plastic products．

19．Three years ago，five parrots were set free in a world place of Arizona，thousands of miles from the Channel Islands in Jersey where they had been looked after by zookeepers．No evolutionary strategies informed them how to behave in this new landscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied by their kind for 50years．To the researchers'surprise，they failed to make contact with a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set free at the same time．Within 24hours the reintroducing ended in failure，and the poor birds were back in cages，on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme．
Ever since then，the programme has enjoyed great success，mainly because the birds now being set free are Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild，confiscated （没收）on arrival north of the border，and raised by their parents in the safety of the programme．The experience shows how little we know about the behaviour and psychology （心理）of parrots，as Peter Bennett，a bird researcher，points out："Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult．People like parrots，always treating them as nothing more than pets or valuable‘collectables'．"
Now that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out，biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds．Last year was an important turning point：conservationists founded the World Parrot Trust，based at Hayle in Cornwall，to support research into both wild and caged birds．
Research on parrots is vital for two reasons．First，as the Arizona programme showed，when reintroducing parrots to the wild，we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are to survive in their natural home．We also need to learn more about the needs of parrots kept as pets，particularly as the Trust's campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice，but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans．
5．What do we know about the area where the five parrots were reintroduced？B
A．Its landscape is new to parrots of their kind．
B．It used to be home to parrots of their kind．
C．It is close to where they had been kept．
D．Pine trees were planted to attract birds．
6．The reintroducing experience three years ago shows that man-raised parrotsC
A．can find their way back home in Jersey
B．are unable to recognize their parents
C．are unable to adapt to the wild
D．can produce a new species
7．Why are researches on parrots important according to the passage？B
A．The Trust shows great concern for the programme．
B．We need to know more about how to preserve parrots．
C．Many people are interested in collecting parrots．
D．Parrots'intelligence may some day benefit people．
8．According to the passage，people are advisedC．
A．to treat wild and caged parrots equally
B．to set up comfortable homes for parrots
C．not to keep wild parrots as pets
D．not to let more parrots go to the wild．
