Arbor Day came from the mind of a tree lover named Julius Sterling Morton, who had a passion for planting all kinds of trees. Morton was born in Adams, New York, in 1832, but his life took a decisive turn on his wedding day in October 1854. After he and his bride, Caroline Joy French, were married in Detroit, they headed west for adventure in the wilds of Nebraska Territory. The couple settled on 160 treeless acres (the key word here is treeless).
Despite being busy with his work and having four sons, Morton planted thousands of trees on the homestead he called the Morton “ranche”. He planted an apple orchard, as well as peach, plum, and pear trees, plus cottonwoods, evergreens, beeches, and more.
Morton took every opportunity he could to spread the word. He gave speeches and filled his newspaper with agricultural advice, urging Nebraskans to plant trees and try new crops.
Today, the family home, Arbor Lodge, is a state park in Nebraska City, Nebraska. Over the years, Arbor Lodge grew from a four-room home into a 52-room mansion, complete with a terraced garden, a pine grove, and 65 acres of more than 250 varieties of trees and shrubs.
Julius Sterling Morton died at the age of 70 on April 27, 1902, writing just a month earlier that he hoped to plant trees as soon as the weather turned warm. A statue of him stands in the National Hall of Fame in Washington, D.C.
Highlights from Morton’s Career
·Morton worked as a journalist and a politician, becoming secretary and acting governor of the Nebraska Territory from 1858 to 1861.
·In 1872, Morton declared: “If I had the power, I would compel every man in the State who had a home of his own to plant out fruit trees.”
·In 1893, President Grover Cleveland appointed him U. S. Secretary of Agriculture. He also served on the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture and the State Horticultural Society.
24. What do we know about Julius Sterling Morton
A. He planted trees on weddings. B. He was crazy for adventure.
C. He was fond of planting trees. D. He had no time for planting.
25. What did Morton do to achieve his goal of tree planting
A. He spread words about his adventures.
B. He called on people to plant trees.
C. He tried to find adventures in the wilds.
D. He planted only fruit trees in his garden.
26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Arbor Lodge
A. To suggest planting more trees.
B. To show the great practice of Morton.
C. To illustrate the beauty of Morton’s home.
D. To prove human can change nature.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text

C. What Is the History of Arbor Day D. What Is the Power of Trees
C
Before we work on the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, I would like to give two suggestions that will greatly add the value you will receive from this material (阅读材料).
First, I would recommend that you do not see this material as a book, in the sense that it is something just read once and put on a shelf.
You may choose to read it through once for a sense of the whole, but the material is designed to be a companion in the continual process of change and growth. As you progress to deeper levels of understanding and practice, you are supposed to go back time and again to the principles contained in each habit and work to expand your knowledge, skill, and desire.
Second, I would suggest that you change from the role of learner to that of a teacher while reading this material. Take an inside-out approach and read with the purpose in mind of sharing or discussing what you learn with someone else within 48 hours after you learn it. Read as though you are going to teach it to others, while it is still fresh, and notice the difference in your mental and emotional process.
I am sure if you approach the material in this way, you will not only better remember what you read, but your perspective will be expanded, your understanding deepened, and your motivation to apply the material increased.
In addition, as you openly, honestly share what you are learning with others, you will be surprised to find that negative labels (负面标签) or perceptions others may have had of you tend to disappear. Those you teach will see you as a changing, growing person and will be more likely to be helpful and supportive as you work, perhaps together to integrate the seven habits into your lives.
28. Which part is the text most probably taken from
A. How to Use This Book. B. “Habits” Defined.
C. The Power of Principles. D. What You Can Expect.
29. What does the author suggest readers do
A. Read the book once and shelve it. B. Read for knowledge and skills.
C. Read the book time and again. D. Read the book as a learner.
30. What is the expected result if readers follow the suggestions
A. Find better approaches. B. Build better memories.
C. Improve reading skills. D. Better understand the book.
31. Which is closest in meaning to “perceptions” in the last paragraph
A. Attractions. B. Beliefs. C. Treatments. D. Capabilities.
D
Professor Dallas Smythe first described commercial media as a system for delivering audiences to advertisers. This perception of the viewing public as a “market” for products as well as an audience for advertising reflects the economic preference of the current media system in America. The unplanned side effects of advertising, however, concern many critics (评论家).
Dinar Godrej holds the view that advertising creates an attack on our senses, that advertising can act as a “compulsive liar”, and that the disorder advertising creates attacks us with images and ideas that result in a cultural change that creates desires for goods that only the wealthy can actually get. This author takes the point of view that there is really nothing positive that advertising contributes to a society, and that just about everything about advertising is negative.
John Calfee addresses many of these issues but also focuses on how the information in ads benefits consumers. He takes the position that advertising functions in the public’s interest, and that even the argument about ads can be beneficial because they can result in competitive pricing for consumers. He also states that individuals can learn about important issues (such as health) through ads.
There are also more neutral (中立的) views, such as those held by people who see it as an economic engine to deliver “free” programs to people, or the idea that advertising is an art form in itself. Whatever the perspective, one thing is true: Advertising can have both obvious and potential (潜在的) impact. It can be defended on solid ground and criticized on solid ground.
32. Why does Dinar Godrej think advertising can be a “compulsive liar”
A. It creates disorder in our body. B. It is full of images and ideas.
C. It changes our feelings for goods. D. It creates goods for the wealthy.
33. What are the benefits of advertising according to John Calfee
A. It helps control prices. B. It decreases public’s interest.
C. It avoids arguments. D. It is good for people’s health.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Few people hold neutral views on advertising.
B. We can not see all the impact of advertising.
C. Advertising encourages us to learn about art.
D. Advertising is seldom criticized by people.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward advertising
A. Positive. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Subjective.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If your child is applying to private school for middle school or high school, he can expect to have an interview with a member of the admissions (招生) team. There are some common questions that many students applying to private school can expect to experience. 36
·What recent current events has interested you
Students should think through their views and speak knowledgeably about the events. 37 Therefore, it’s beneficial for them to start following current events before entering a private school.
·Why are you interested in our school
It’s better if the student has visited classes at the school or spoken to teachers so that she can speak in a firsthand, vivid way about why she wants to attend the school. Clichéd (陈词滥调的) answers such as, “ 38 ” or answers like, “My dad said I would get into a really good college if I go here” don’t hold much water with admissions committees.
· 39
Students should be prepared to speak about their area of interest, whether it’s music, drama, or sports. 40 Private schools tend to encourage students to try new things, and sharing with the admission officer a desire to try a new sport or get involved with art is a great way to show a desire to grow and expand.
A. Your school looks great.
B. What do you do outside of school
C. The goal of the interview is to get to know the student.
D. This is also a chance for students to share a new interest.
E. How do you develop personal interest outside of school
F. Many private school history classes require students to read the news every day.
G. Your child can practice answering these questions to be fully prepared for the interview.

W: My husband and I spent a few weeks in London last year. We went there in autumn. We thought it was the best season to visit England. The weather was usually quite good and there were not too many tourists in October.
We stayed in a small hotel in the West End. We did most of our sightseeing on foot. We went shopping and spent a lot of money. What we liked most was going to the theater. We don’t have a lot of chances to see such wonderful plays at home. A lot of people said English food was very bad. But we didn’t think so. It was true that most of the restaurants were French, Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals.
In fact, we enjoyed our holiday so much that we have already decided to go there again next year. We are going to take our umbrellas, though. I’m sure we will need them sooner or later.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Today I’d like to talk about the power of music. Music has always been a powerful force in my life, shaping my moods and inspiring my thoughts.
I still clearly remember once when I was in low spirits, a soothing melody from campus studio attracted my attention. The stories, aspirations and soul expressed in the beautiful melody of the song Rice Field gradually lit me up. Drawing strength from the song, I picked myself up and continued to follow my dreams. Till now, I’m still grateful for the impact it has had on my life.
Music always heals me emotionally and mentally. If you want to heal stress, relieve pains, or find strength, music is the key. It’s there for every occasion and for everyone.
Thanks for your attention!
