16、.For example,studies have shown that cut carnations（康 乃 馨）retaintheir freshness eight times longer when kept at 12oC than when kept at 260c.Keepingfreshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most importantaspect of flower care.3 Flowers are not intended by nature to live very
17、 long.Their biological purposeis simply to attract birds or insects,such as bees,for pollination（授 粉）.Afterthat,they quickly dry up and die.The process by which flowers consume oxygen andproduce carbon dioxide（二 氧 化 碳），called respiration（呼 吸），generates the energythe flower needs to give the flower i
18、ts shape and colour.The making of seeds alsodepends on this energy.While all living things respire,flowers have a high levelof respiration.A result of all this respiration is heat,and for flowers the levelof heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high.Respiration also bringsabout the eventu
19、al death of the flower.Thus the greater the level of respiration,the sooner the flower 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 respirationproduces heat,but the reverse is also true.Thus
20、by maintaining low temperatures,respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly.5 Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in whichthey are placed.Flowers find it difficult to“drink“water that is dirty orotherwise polluted.Even when water looks and smell
21、s clean,it almost certainlycontains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers.To rid the water of theseunwanted substances,household chlorine bleach（含 氯 漂 白 齐 U）can be used in smallquantities.It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach（at 4%solution）beadded to each litre of water.The w

25、ot their clothes,ideas,or languages一 has changed as much as what they eat.The original chocolate drink was made fromthe seeds of the cocoa tree（可 可 树）by South American Indians.The Spanish introducedit to the rest of the world during the 1500,s.And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fas
26、hionable.In London,shops where chocolate drinks were servedbecame important meeting places.Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World.Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peruto Europe,where it soon was widely grown.Ireland became so dependent on it thatthousands of Irish people
27、 starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine（饥 荒）”of 1845 1846,and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and moveto America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World.But some others went in the opposite direction.Brazil is now the world,
28、s largestgrower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South Americancountries.But it is native to Ethiopia,a country in Africa.It was first made intoa drink by Arabs during the 1400 s.According to an Arabic legend,coffee was discovered when a person named Kal dinoticed that
29、 his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.He triedone and experienced the“wide-awake“feeling that one-third of the world spopulation now starts the day with.31 According to the passage,which of the following has changed the most in thelast 500 years?A FoodB ClothingC IdeologyD La
30、nguage32“some in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers toA some cocoa treesB some chocolate drinks.C some shopsD some South American Indians33 Thousands of Irish people starved during the“Potato Famine“becauseA they were so dependent on potatoes that they refused to eat anything elseB they

32、to the passage?A.One third of the world,s population drinks coffee.B.Coffee is native to ColombiaC.Coffee can keep one awake.D.Coffee drinks were first made by Arabs.第 二 篇 Teaching poetryNo poem should ever be discussed or“analyzed”,until it has been read aloud bysomeone,teacher or student.Better st
33、ill,perhaps,is the practice of reading ittwice,once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end,so the soundof the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are,in fact,preparations for reading it aloud,and thereading of the poem is,finally,the most telling“interpre
34、tation of it,suggesting tone,rhythm,and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work inhis or her own voice,on records or on film,is obviously a special reward.But eventhose aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or,bestof all,reciting（背 诵）it.I have come to think,in
35、fact,that time spent reading a poem aloud is much moreimportant than“analyzing it,if there isn,t time for both.I think one of ourgoals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is“a criticismof life,and a heightening（提 升）of life”,It is an approach to the truthof feeling”,and it“c
36、an save your life,.It also deserves a place in the teachingof language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don,t likeit should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teachpoetry must
37、keep in mind a few thing s about its essential nature,about its soundas well as its sense,and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetryas well as thinking about it.36 To have a better understanding of a poem,one shouldA discuss it with others.B analyze it by oneself.C copy it down in a
38、 notebookD practise reading it aloud37 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?A Extending your life.B Saving your 1ife.C Criticizing life.D Heightening life.38 According to the writer,one of the purposes of teaching English is to get studentsA to understand life.B to enjoy p
39、oetry.C to become teachers.D to become poets39 What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.B Poetry is more important than any other subject.C One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetryD Poetry is the foundation
40、of all language and literature courses40 The phrase umake room“in the last paragraph could be best replaced byA“build a booth”B uprovide equipmentv.C wleave a certain amount of time”.1）“set aside enough space”.第 三 篇“Salty”Rice Plant Boosts HarvestsBritish scientists are breeding a new generation of
41、rice plants that will be ableto grow in soil containing salt water.Their work may enable abandoned farms to becomeproductive once more.Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo,from Sussex University s School of Biological Sciences,have spent several years researching how crops,such as rice,could be made to growin w
42、ater that has become salty.The pair have recently begun a three-year programme,funded by the Biotechnologyand Biological Sciences Research Council,to establish which genes enable someplants to survive salty conditions.The aim is to breed this capability into crops,starting with rice.It is estimated
43、that each year more than 10m hectares（公 顷）of agriculturalland are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts（妨 碍 生 长）plants.The problemis 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 theMedit
44、erranean,a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop,allowingsea water to seep（渗 透）in.in Latin America,irrigation often causes problemswhen water is evaporated（蒸 发）by the heat,leaving salt deposits behind.Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally.Heavycon
45、centrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they needto survive.To overcome these problems,Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants thattake in very little slat and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affectthe plants growth.They have started to breed these ch
46、aracteristics into a newrice crop,but it will take about eight harvests before the resulting seeds areready to be considered for commercial use.Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known,Flowers and Yeowill try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants.Land
47、that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again,providing muchneeded food in the poorer countries of the world.41 Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is true?A They are students at Sussex University.B They are rice breeders.C They are husband and wife.D They ar
48、e colleagues at an institution of higher learning.42 Flowers and Yeo have started a programmeA to find ways to prevent water pollution.B to identify genes that promote growth in salty soil.C to breed rice plants that taste salty.D to find ways to remove excessive salt from soil.43 Which of the follo
49、wing is NOT mentioned as a cause of the problem discussedin the passage?A Natural barriers to sea water have been destroyed.B the water table has gone down after droughts.C Sea level has been continuously rising.D Evaporation of water leaves salt behind44 The word“affect“in Paragraph 6 could be best
50、 replaced byA influence”B“effect”C“stop”D“present”45 The attitude of the author towards the research project isA positiveB negative.C suspiciousD indifferent.第 5 部 分：补 全 短 文(第 46、50题，每 题 2 分，共 10分)阅 读 下 面 的 短 文，文 章 中 有 5 处 空 白，文 章 后 面 有 6 组 文 字，请 根 据 文 章 的 内 容 选 择 5 组 文 字，将 其 分 别 放 回 文 章 原 来 位 置，以 恢
