A (2013湖南省湖南师大附中模块)
Because plants cannot move or talk, most people believe that they have no feelings and that they cannot receive signals from outside. However, this may not be completely true.
People who studied plants have found out that plants carry a small electrical charge (电荷). It is possible to measure this charge with a small piece of equipment called “galvanometer”. The galvanometer is placed on a leaf of the plant, and it records any changes in the electrical field of the leaf. Humans have a similar field which can change when we are shocked or frightened.
A man called Backster used a galvanometer for his studies of plants and was very surprised at his results. He found that if he had two or more plants in a room and he began to destroy one of them － perhaps by pulling off its leaves or by pulling it out of its pot － then the galvanometer on the leaves of the other plants showed a change in the electrical field. It seemed as if the plants were signalling a feeling of shock. This happened not only when Backster started to destroy plants, but also when he destroyed other living things such as insects (昆虫).
Backster said that the plants also knew if someone had destroyed a living thing some distance away, because they signalled when a man who had just cut down a tree entered the room.
Another scientist, named Sauvin, achieved similar results to Backster’s. He kept galvanometers fixed to his plants all the time and checked regularly to see what the plants were doing. If he was out of the office, he telephoned to find out about the signals the plants were sending. In this way, he found that the plants were sending out signals at the exact times when he felt strong pleasure or pain. In fact, Sauvin could cause a change in the electrical field of his plants over a distance of a few miles simply by thinking about them.
36. Which of the following statements about the galvanometer is NOT true?
A. It is to measure the small electrical charge of plants.
B. It is often placed on a leaf of plants.
C. It is to record the change in the electrical field of the leaf.
D. It is rarely used in scientific studies.
37. Backster was surprised at the results of his studies because _____.
A. he destroyed an insect
B. he destroyed a plant by pulling off its leaves
C. he found that plants could express feelings of shock
D. he found that plants could move and speak after all
38. The plants sent out signals _____.
A. only when Backster Started to destroy plantsB. when Backster destroyed plants or other living things
C. only when he destroyed things such as insects
D. only when Backster placed the galvanometer on the leaves of the plants
39. The scientist called Sauvin _____.
A. did not agree with Backster’s ideas
B. did not get the same sort of results as Backster did
C. got different results from Backster’s
D. found out some of the same things that Backster did
40. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The electrical charge plants carry may shock or frighten us.
B. A tree will signal when it has been cut down.
C. Sauvin could make his plants send out signals some distance away.
D. Plants have no feelings because they cannot receive signals.
B (2013四川省棠湖中学外语实验学校月考)
Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
41. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
A. plants are important for life B. plants cannot grow without air
C. there are many plants in the world D. we can not live without water
42. Plants can make food from______.
A. flower, water and air B. water, sunlight and air
C. air, water and soil D. air, sun and light
43. What can we infer(推断) from the passage ?
A. Of all living things animals are most important B. Spores are seeds
C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds D. Without plants, man will die out
44. This passage may be taken from______.
A. a medicine book B. a novel
C. a science magazine D. an experiment report
45. The underlined word “protected” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A. damaged B. polluted C. prevented D. guarded
C (2013天津市南开区期中)
In China, most people ride bikes to school, or to work, or to places where they want to go.So China is called “kingdom of bicycles”．
But Americans are a people on the wheel. Wherever you go, you will see cars. There are so many cars that there is a traffic jam here and there. Now, more and more Americans would not consider it a healthy way of life. In fact, many Americans are strongly against the advancement of the wheel.We should encourage people to use less cars to save our environment and the energy.
Everyone wants to reduce pollution. But the pollution problem is very serious. People drive cars and the waste gas from them causes air pollution. On the other hand, the need for energy increases every day, and some sources of energy are running out. Oil will last for no more than 40 years, while coal could last another 300 years. The way we're heading is towards a world where people are going to go cold and hungry. Now in China many rich men live away from downtown. On holidays they go to some big cities and places ofinterest. Most of them use their own cars. But China is a country with a population of over l.3 billion. So, if you have enough money in the future, what will you do?
46. According to the passage, most Chinese people go to school or work by______.
A. bike B.bus C. train D. plane
47. In America, you will see_______ everywhere.
A. bikes B. cars C. oil D. coal
48. The waste gas from cars causes
A. air pollution B. traffic jams C. a waste of money D. energy problems
49. The end of the last paragraph suggests that________.
A. Americans should give up their carsB. the energy should be saved around the world
C. Chinese shouldn't become a people on the wheel
D. rich Chinese shouldn't use their own cars in China
50. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Bicycles or cars? That will make a difference
B. China is called "kingdom of Bicycles"C. Americans are a people on the wheel
D. Everyone wants to reduce pollution
第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项中有两项为多余选项。
I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收银台)in her general store. 51 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying” thank you”.
At first I was paid in candy. 52 I worked every day after school and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 53
By the time I was 12,my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妆品).I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid women would ask me such things as ”What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup ideas. 54
The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist, you needed to be a great listener. 55 Except they are no longer women buying cosmetics from me, instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.
A. Later I received 50 cents an hour.
B. Before long ,she let me sit there by myself.
C.I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.
D. Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.
E. My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility.
F. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.
G. Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.
