题目列表(包括答案和解析)
A
Without plants, people could not live. We eat plants. We take in oxygen(氧) that plants make. And we need plants for another reason: we need them because they are beautiful.
Imagine a world with no plants. Imagine no flowers with their sweet smells, their beautiful colors and their lovely shapes. Imagine, when the wind blows, we are not able to hear the leaves of the trees or watch the branches swing (摇摆) from side to side.
Everywhere people need beautiful plants. That is why we have parks full of trees and flowers. That is why people always like houses with rooms for some grass and a garden.
Do you talk to your plants? Do you give them love and take good care of them? Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, writers of a book called The Secret of Plants, tell of an experiment in which two seeds were planted in different places. While the plants were growing, one plant was given love and hopeful ideas. After six months, the beloved plant was bigger. Under the earth it had more and longer roots; above the earth, it had a thicker stem(茎) and more leaves.

A. treated in two different ways B. of different kinds
C. both given love and taken good care of D. grown in the same place
42. At the end of six months ______.
A. the two plants were of the same size

第二节 完形填空(30分)
One cold day in the early spring of the year, my father, who was a farmer, was ploughing (耕地). I, eleven years old then, was 21 the horse. I didn’t do the 22 well as it was rather cold. I thought the task was a little 23 for me.
“Dad,” I said, “ 24 must I stay in the field?” “An hour,” he answered. An hour 25 a long time and I said, “I 26 if I can go home now. My 27 aches.”
“I’m very sorry,” said my father, “but can’t you 28 till it’s time for dinner?” “I think not-my headache is getting 29 .”
“Well,” he said, taking me 30 the horse and suspecting (怀疑) that my disease was rather in my heart than my head, “ you may go home. I don’t want you to work 31 you are sick. Go straight home, and tell your mother that I say you must take a large bowl of rhubarb (大黄). Tell her that I think it will 32 you a lot of good!”
There was no choice. I went home, of course, and I had to offer the 33 to my mother. I told her that I thought my head was better, 34 not to take the terrible 35 . But it was of no use and it was too late. She understood my case (情况) as 36 as my father did. She knew well enough that my disease was 37 . So she prepared a large bowl of rhubarb and I had to swallow all of it. Dear me! How 38 it was! I am sure I would rather ride the horse all day than be treated 39 that way. Since then I’ve never told another 40 .
Honesty is the best policy.
