Some people like modern art， while others say that is rubbish. But a cleaner who works in the Tate Gallery in London isn’t able to tell the difference. The woman， whose name isn’t known， mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish， and threw it out with other bags. The plastic bag， which contained pieces of paper and cardboard， was later recovered outside the gallery， but the artist thought that it was too damaged to be put on show again.78-year-old Mr. Metzger explained that the exhibit， which he said was a copy of a similar work he had created in 1960，was meant to show that all art is temporary and “finite(有限的)”.
Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain which things should not be touched. They would not say whether Mr. Metzger would be paid any compensation(赔偿) for the incident. However， to make absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again， they decided to cover Mr. Metzger’s work every evening with a colored cloth. In this way the cleaners arriving after the gallery had closed to the general public would realize they should not touch it.
This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish. In 2001，in another London gallery， a cleaner threw away a work by the well-known British artist Damien Hirst. It was an arrangement of empty beer bottles， coffee cups， and overflowing ashtrays， which were meant to indicate the chaos in the life of an artist.
However， cleaners don’t always throw things away—sometimes they clean them! This was the case with a dirty bath， which was on show in a gallery in Germany. Without asking what the bath was doing in the gallery， the cleaners simply scrubbed it clean.
1.What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Cleaners Mistake Modern Art for Rubbish
B. Modern Art Shouldn’t Be Cleaned
C. What Makes a Great Work of Art
D. Cleaners Don’t Always Throw Things Away
2.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. People have different opinions on modern art.
B. Mr. Metzger would be paid much compensation.
C.A work of Damien Hirst was thrown away by a cleaner in 2001.
D. Some modern works are about the chaos of artists life.
3.The last paragraph is written to show that .
A. cleaners often make exhibits as clean as possible
B. cleaners can抰 always distinguish exhibits from rubbish
C. exhibits are usually difficult to clean
D. exhibits are not always so beautiful
C
Music has a great effect on everyone. But does music affect plants ，too？People have been experimenting with music for almost three decades. From school-level projects to higher-level scientific experiments， the effect of music on plants has been a confusing and debatable topic.
We know music is sound and sound is nothing more than a wave. Plant growth is a result of the cell division that takes place within the cells. But why is music associated with plant growth？In humans， music has a strong effect on our health and mood ，and over the years， people have claimed that the same effect has been observed on plants， too. Plants are sensitive by nature， and many people claim that they have feelings just as humans do. There are stories about plants shedding tears. Although scientists do not support these as facts， these myths have led them to take up various experiments on plants.
Various studies have proved that plants respond to acoustic(音响的) energy. It increases their rate of growth and their size， and influences their overall health. Dan Carlson， after a thorough study over a span of many years， has reached a conclusion that music helps plants absorb nutrients more efficiently.
It took Dan about fifteen years to develop a foliage spray(叶面喷剂) that is used beneficially with the sound frequencies. Carlson calls this spray 揝onic Bloom. His findings have proved to be beneficial for countless farmers and have resulted in梐ccording to Guinness Book of World Records梩he largest indoor plant on record.
The Purple Passion was treated with the Sonic Bloom process. It grew to be 1,300 feet tall and was alive even after 25 years. Its normal lifespan， however， is 18 months and it grows not more than 18 feet tall. The book， Secret of the Soil， writes about Sonic Bloom and its results. Sonic Bloom is also sold in the market.
1.What inspired scientists to experiment with plants?
A. The effects of music on humans.
B. Plants are sensitive by nature.
C. The cell division taking place within the cells.
D. People抯 unscientific description of plants.
2.What is the main idea of Para.3?
A. Nutrients are important to plants.
B. Music can have some good effects on plants.
C. How the rate of growth of plants can be improved.
D. What kinds of music can contribute to the growth of plants.
3.What did Dan Carlson develop?
A.A spray called 揝onic Bloom.
B.A method to grow larger plants.
C.A special plant that grows very fast.
D. Acoustic energy that plants respond to.

3. healthiest　考查形容词的比较等级。句意为：有机肉指的是只用最健康的食物喂养，且尽可能住在最干净的环境中的动物的肉。设空处应用形容词修饰后面的foods。根据and连接并列结构及该句的the cleanest可知，设空处也应用最高级，与后文保持一致。

9.　owners　考查词性转换及名词单复数。句意为：如果我对其他想紧跟我们步伐的饭店店主有什么建议的话，那就是：要有耐心。根据other修饰名词且后面定语从句的关系词为who可知，设空处填名词形式，且为人。other一般接可数名词复数，且who引导的定语从句的谓语动词为复数，故填owners。
10.　will succeed　考查动词的时态。句意为：只要相信你在做的事情并且不断努力，那么你肯定会成功。本句为“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”结构。陈述句多用一般将来时，故填will succeed。
