It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2017. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
36．Why was the bike so important to the couple
A．They used it for work and daily life. B．It was their only possession.
C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D．The man’s job was bike racing.
37．What does the underlined phrase mean
A．go very far to see someone B．walk out on foot to greet someone
C．help someone with one’s best D．enjoy the moment with someone
38．We can infer from the text that ______.
A．the couple worked 60 hours a week B．people were busy before Christmas
C．the stranger brought over the bike D．life was hard for the young family
39．How did people get to know the couple’s problem
A．From a stranger. B．From a newspaper. C．From TV news. D．From radio broadcasts.
40．What do the couple learn from their experience
A．Strangers are usually of little help. B．One should take care of their bike.
C．News reports make people famous. D．An act of kindness can mean a lot.
Although it has been revealed in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的) cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops.
Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made cries at frequencies humans cannot hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.
Microphones placed 10 centimetres from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, which the team says insects and some mammals would be capable of hearing and responding to from as far as 5 metres away. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed, the researchers suggest. Plants could even hear that other plants are short of water and react accordingly, they speculate (推断).
On average, drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average.
It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to recognize between the plants’ sounds and the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sound’s intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example.
Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.
“The suggestion that the sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture seems feasible (可行的) if it is not too costly to set up the recording in a field situation,” says Anne Visscher at the royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the UK.
She warns that the results can’t yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that idea remains based on guesses for now, she says.
41．The experiment by researchers at Tel Aviv University shows that ______.
A．tomato plants cry more often than tobacco when hurt
B．plant sounds can be heard by plants quite far away
C．humans can hear water-hungry plants crying
D．moths like laying eggs on stressed plant
42．Which one of the followings may make the most sounds according to the research
A．Water-hungry tobacco. B．Stem-cut tobacco.
C．Drought-stressed tomato. D．Stem-cut tomato.
43．What is Anne Visscher’s attitude towards the finding of the experiment
A．Disappointed B．Cautious. C．Appreciative. D．Optimistic.
44．Taking advantage of the new research finding, farmers can ______.
A．harvest crops in time B．reduce greenhouse effects
C．diagnose plant condition faster D．detect and remove insects easily
45．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．Plants get stressed Just Like Us. B．Sounds of Plants Detected Far Away.
C．Cries of plants break Farmers’ Hearts D．Plants scream in the presence of stress
The traditional school year, with three months of vacation every summer, was first implemented when America was an agricultural society and the summer months were needed for farm work. Since then, we’ve completely changed as a nation. Students no longer spend summers farming, but they aren’t in school, either. The average American student receives 13 weeks off from school each calendar year — with about 11 of those during the summer. Few other countries have more than seven weeks off in a school calendar.
With the U. S. lagging behind other countries in academics, it’s time to consider year-round schooling. One benefit of this change is that students will not fall victim to the “summer slide,” or the well-documented phenomenon where students forget some of the knowledge they have acquired when too much time is taken off from school. Decades of research shows that it can take from 8 to 13 weeks at the beginning of every school year for students to get back to where they were before the summer holiday.
But year-round schooling isn’t just about academics. Teachers and students experience a closer relationship in year-round schools than they do in traditional schools and, in the absence of any long-term break, students do not feel detached from the school environment. These closer bonds and greater attachment pay off. Research shows that students in year-round schools are more self-confident and feel more positive about their schooling experience.
But don’t kids need time to relax Some childhood development experts believe that time off from school is vital to healthy development as kids are not designed to spend so much of their time inside classrooms and the summer break provides a perfect opportunity to get outside. The problem with this argument is that most children aren’t playing outside or even spending time with other kids. While some children visit summer camps, most stay at home, watching TV or playing games on electronic devices, which hardly benefits them.
The U. S. has changed from a farming economy to a knowledge-and innovation-based economy, so it makes sense for the school year to change as well.
46．Why did America’s traditional school year have a three-month summer vacation
A．Students needed to help with farm work.
B．Students needed time to learn necessary farming skills.
C．The agricultural society then attached less importance to academics.
D．America lagged behind other countries in making a scientific school calendar.
47．What benefit will year-round schooling bring students in addition to improving their learning
A．It will help them get back to where their lessons started.
B．It will enable them to absorb what they have learned.
C．It will familiarize them with the school environment.
D．It will strengthen their relationship with teachers.
48．What do some childhood development experts believe about the long summer vacation
A．It meets students’ need to study on their own.
B．It enables students to learn about the outside world.
C．It satisfies students’ desire to stay longer at home.
D．It contributes to students’ healthy growth.
49．What is the argument against the experts’ idea of a long summer vacation
A．It does little good to most students. B．It benefits many students playing outside.
C．It leads students to neglect their studies. D．It makes students addicted to computer games.
50．What does the author think of the traditional school year in the U. S. today
A．Well-grounded. B．Culture-bound. C．Outdated. D．Welcomed

Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I am an aerospace engineer from India, I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master's degree in IT and graduate from a US university.
I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so fascinated with the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind in chasing a master's degree in IT.
At first, I came across too many difficulties and ing from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the course seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up.
Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans' accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day.
I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation.
When you have a dream to realize, there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary.
51．Why did the author's family and friends say that it was hard for him to pursue a master's degree in IT (no more than 8 words)
52．What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean (no more than 5 words)
53．What is the main idea of paragraph 3 (no more than 10 words)
54．What made the author graduate with a higher GPA and a good job offer (no more than 15 words)
55．How does the author's story inspire you (no more than 25 words)

【解析】31．细节理解题。根据第一段第一行“The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.”可知，优胜者俱乐部是专门为青少年设计的银行账户。故B正确。
32．细节理解题。根据第四部分“You may never need to come to a bank at all. With the Winners Club you can choose to use handy tellers and to bank from home using the phone and the Internet···”你可能根本不需要去银行。在优胜者俱乐部，你可以选择使用方便的出纳员，在家里使用电话和互联网进行银行业务。由此可知，优胜者俱乐部为会员提供方便的服务。故C正确。

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一家经济困难，自行车是唯一的交通工具，结果某天却被偷了。作者于是写信给报纸讲述了自己的故事，接着很多陌生人主动提出帮助。
【解析】36．细节理解题。根据第二段“The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.(那辆黑色的科纳18型自行车是我们唯一的交通工具。特雷弗用它来上班，每周花60个小时来养家糊口。自行车还可以用来买东西，这样我们就不用从住处走很远的路了)”可知，自行车对这对夫妇如此重要因为他们把它用于工作和日常生活。故选A。
37．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. (不久之后，我们这个地区的几个人主动提出要帮忙。一个很棒的陌生人甚至买了一辆自行车，然后打电话给我丈夫来取)”可知，陌生人主动提出帮忙，甚至买了自行车给作者一家，说明在尽力帮助作者一家。故划线词意思是“尽力帮助某人”。故选C。
38．推理判断题。根据第一段“While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.(当大多数人都在给汽车预热的时候，我的丈夫特雷弗却不得不早起，骑着自行车离家四公里去上班)”以及第二段“The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. (那辆黑色的科纳18型自行车是我们唯一的交通工具)”可知，买不起汽车，自行车是唯一的交通工具，说明这个年轻家庭的生活很艰难。故选D。
39．细节理解题。根据第三段“I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help.(我很伤心有人会偷我们的自行车，所以我写信给报纸，告诉他们我们的故事)”可知，人们是从报纸上知道这对夫妇的麻烦的。故选B。
40．推理判断题。根据最后一段“People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.(人们说微笑可以从一个人传递到另一个人，但陌生人的善意行为更是如此。这种经历在我们的生活中产生了广泛的影响，因为它增强了我们对整个人类的信心。它也影响了我们，让我们更加注意与他人分享的方式。无论大小，一个善举都表明有人关心你。结果可能是永恒的)”可知，这对夫妇从他们的经历中学到了一个善举意义重大。故选D。
【答案】41．A 42．C 43．B 44．C 45．D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。 文章主要讲述了以色列特拉维夫大学的研究人员发现番茄和烟草植物在缺水或茎被切断等受到压力时会发出人类听不到的超声哭声，并且介绍了相关实验以及这种发现对精准农业的潜在意义等。
【解析】41．推理判断题。根据第四段“When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. (当植物茎被切断时，番茄植株在接下来的一个小时内平均发出25个声音，烟草植株发出15个声音。)”可推断研究表明番茄植株受到伤害时比烟草更容易哭泣。故选A。
42．细节理解题。根据第四段“On average, drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average. (受干旱胁迫的番茄植株平均每小时发出35个声音，而烟草植株每小时发出11个声音。当植物茎被切断时，番茄植株在接下来的一个小时内平均发出25个声音，烟草植株发出15个声音。未受压力的植物平均每小时发出的声音少于一个。)”可知抗旱番茄发出最多的声音。故选C。
43．推理判断题。根据最后一段“She warns that the results can’t yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that idea remains based on guesses for now, she says. (她警告说，这些结果还不能扩展到其他压力，比如盐或温度，因为这些可能不会导致声音。此外，她说，目前还没有实验证明飞蛾或任何其他动物是否能听到植物发出的声音并做出反应，所以这个想法目前仍然是基于猜测。)”可知她警告说这个想法目前仍然是基于猜测，故推断她对实验结果持谨慎态度。故选B。
44．推理判断题。根据第五段“It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to recognize between the plants’ sounds and the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sound’s intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example. (甚至可以通过区分声音来知道重音是什么。研究人员训练了一个机器学习模型来识别植物的声音和温室里的风、雨和其他噪音，在大多数情况下，根据声音的强度和频率，正确识别出压力是由干燥还是割伤引起的。例如，耗水的烟草似乎比切好的烟草发出更大的声音。)”和第六段“Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest. (研究人员认为，让农民能够倾听缺水植物的声音可能“在精准农业领域开辟了一个新的方向”。)”可推知利用这项新的研究发现，农民可以更快诊断植物状况。故选C。
45．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Although it has been revealed in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的) cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops. (尽管近年来人们发现植物有视觉、听觉和嗅觉，但它们仍然通常被认为是沉默的。但是现在，人们第一次记录到它们在受到压力时发出超声波叫声，研究人员表示，这可能会开辟一个精准农业的新领域，让农民倾听缺水的作物。)”可知文章主要讲述了以色列特拉维夫大学的研究人员发现番茄和烟草植物在缺水或茎被切断等受到压力时会发出人类听不到的超声哭声，并且介绍了相关实验以及这种发现对精准农业的潜在意义等，所以D选项“植物在压力面前会尖叫”符合文章大意。故选D。
【答案】46．A 47．D 48．D 49．A 50．C
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。作者在文中介绍了长暑假学年的由来以及全年制教育的益处，指出美国应该从传统的长暑假教育转向全年制教育。
【解析】46．细节理解题。根据第一段“The traditional school year, with three months of vacation every summer, was first implemented when America was an agricultural society and the summer months were needed for farm work.(传统的学年，每年夏天有三个月的假期，最初是在美国还是一个农业社会的时候实施的，夏天的几个月需要从事农业工作)”可知，美国传统的学年有三个月的暑假是因为学生需要帮忙做农活。故选A。
47．细节理解题。根据第三段“Teachers and students experience a closer relationship in year-round schools than they do in traditional schools and, in the absence of any long-term break, students do not feel detached from the school environment.(在全年制学校里，老师和学生的关系比在传统学校里更密切，在没有任何长期休息的情况下，学生不会感到与学校环境脱节)”可知，除了提高学生的学习能力外，全年制学校将加强学生与老师的关系。故选D。
48．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Some childhood development experts believe that time off from school is vital to healthy development as kids are not designed to spend so much of their time inside classrooms and the summer break provides a perfect opportunity to get outside.(一些儿童发展专家认为，离开学校的时间对健康发展至关重要，因为孩子们不适合在教室里花那么多时间，而暑假提供了一个到外面去的绝佳机会)”可知，一些儿童发展专家认为长暑假有助于学生的健康成长。故选D。
49．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The problem with this argument is that most children aren’t playing outside or even spending time with other kids. While some children visit summer camps, most stay at home, watching TV or playing games on electronic devices, which hardly benefits them.(这种观点的问题在于，大多数孩子都不出去玩，甚至不花时间和其他孩子在一起。虽然有些孩子参加夏令营，但大多数孩子呆在家里，看电视或玩电子设备游戏，这对他们几乎没有好处)”可知，专家们反对放长暑假的理由是它对大多数学生没有什么好处。故选A。
50．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The U. S. has changed from a farming economy to a knowledge-and innovation-based economy, so it makes sense for the school year to change as well.(美国已经从农业经济转变为以知识和创新为基础的经济，所以学年的变化也是有意义的)”可知，作者认为当今美国的传统学年过时了。故选C。

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could 16 tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he 17 in class.
When I took the first exam, I was 18 to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, 19 English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained 20 .
I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that 21 because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I 22 with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his 23 .
One more test before the final exam. One more 24 to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time， 25 the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my 26 did no good and everything 25 as before.
The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what 28 I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 26 goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 27 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have 31 with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A．I hurried into professor Jayne’s office. He 28 to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you 29 , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2017. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
36．Why was the bike so important to the couple
A．They used it for work and daily life. B．It was their only possession.
C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D．The man’s job was bike racing.
37．What does the underlined phrase mean
A．go very far to see someone B．walk out on foot to greet someone
C．help someone with one’s best D．enjoy the moment with someone
38．We can infer from the text that ______.
A．the couple worked 60 hours a week B．people were busy before Christmas
C．the stranger brought over the bike D．life was hard for the young family
39．How did people get to know the couple’s problem
A．From a stranger. B．From a newspaper. C．From TV news. D．From radio broadcasts.
40．What do the couple learn from their experience
A．Strangers are usually of little help. B．One should take care of their bike.
C．News reports make people famous. D．An act of kindness can mean a lot.
Although it has been revealed in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的) cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops.
Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made cries at frequencies humans cannot hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.
Microphones placed 10 centimetres from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, which the team says insects and some mammals would be capable of hearing and responding to from as far as 5 metres away. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed, the researchers suggest. Plants could even hear that other plants are short of water and react accordingly, they speculate (推断).
On average, drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average.
It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to recognize between the plants’ sounds and the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sound’s intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example.
Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.
“The suggestion that the sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture seems feasible (可行的) if it is not too costly to set up the recording in a field situation,” says Anne Visscher at the royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the UK.
She warns that the results can’t yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that idea remains based on guesses for now, she says.
41．The experiment by researchers at Tel Aviv University shows that ______.

The traditional school year, with three months of vacation every summer, was first implemented when America was an agricultural society and the summer months were needed for farm work. Since then, we’ve completely changed as a nation. Students no longer spend summers farming, but they aren’t in school, either. The average American student receives 13 weeks off from school each calendar year — with about 11 of those during the summer. Few other countries have more than seven weeks off in a school calendar.
With the U. S. lagging behind other countries in academics, it’s time to consider year-round schooling. One benefit of this change is that students will not fall victim to the “summer slide,” or the well-documented phenomenon where students forget some of the knowledge they have acquired when too much time is taken off from school. Decades of research shows that it can take from 8 to 13 weeks at the beginning of every school year for students to get back to where they were before the summer holiday.
But year-round schooling isn’t just about academics. Teachers and students experience a closer relationship in year-round schools than they do in traditional schools and, in the absence of any long-term break, students do not feel detached from the school environment. These closer bonds and greater attachment pay off. Research shows that students in year-round schools are more self-confident and feel more positive about their schooling experience.
But don’t kids need time to relax Some childhood development experts believe that time off from school is vital to healthy development as kids are not designed to spend so much of their time inside classrooms and the summer break provides a perfect opportunity to get outside. The problem with this argument is that most children aren’t playing outside or even spending time with other kids. While some children visit summer camps, most stay at home, watching TV or playing games on electronic devices, which hardly benefits them.
The U. S. has changed from a farming economy to a knowledge-and innovation-based economy, so it makes sense for the school year to change as well.
46．Why did America’s traditional school year have a three-month summer vacation
A．Students needed to help with farm work.
B．Students needed time to learn necessary farming skills.
C．The agricultural society then attached less importance to academics.
D．America lagged behind other countries in making a scientific school calendar.
47．What benefit will year-round schooling bring students in addition to improving their learning
A．It will help them get back to where their lessons started.
B．It will enable them to absorb what they have learned.
C．It will familiarize them with the school environment.
D．It will strengthen their relationship with teachers.
48．What do some childhood development experts believe about the long summer vacation
A．It meets students’ need to study on their own.
B．It enables students to learn about the outside world.
C．It satisfies students’ desire to stay longer at home.
D．It contributes to students’ healthy growth.
49．What is the argument against the experts’ idea of a long summer vacation
A．It does little good to most students. B．It benefits many students playing outside.
C．It leads students to neglect their studies. D．It makes students addicted to computer games.
50．What does the author think of the traditional school year in the U. S. today
A．Well-grounded. B．Culture-bound. C．Outdated. D．Welcomed

Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I am an aerospace engineer from India, I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master's degree in IT and graduate from a US university.
I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so fascinated with the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind in chasing a master's degree in IT.
At first, I came across too many difficulties and ing from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the course seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up.
Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans' accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day.
I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation.
When you have a dream to realize, there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。 文章主要讲述了以色列特拉维夫大学的研究人员发现番茄和烟草植物在缺水或茎被切断等受到压力时会发出人类听不到的超声哭声，并且介绍了相关实验以及这种发现对精准农业的潜在意义等。
【解析】41．推理判断题。根据第四段“When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. (当植物茎被切断时，番茄植株在接下来的一个小时内平均发出25个声音，烟草植株发出15个声音。)”可推断研究表明番茄植株受到伤害时比烟草更容易哭泣。故选A。
42．细节理解题。根据第四段“On average, drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average. (受干旱胁迫的番茄植株平均每小时发出35个声音，而烟草植株每小时发出11个声音。当植物茎被切断时，番茄植株在接下来的一个小时内平均发出25个声音，烟草植株发出15个声音。未受压力的植物平均每小时发出的声音少于一个。)”可知抗旱番茄发出最多的声音。故选C。
43．推理判断题。根据最后一段“She warns that the results can’t yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that idea remains based on guesses for now, she says. (她警告说，这些结果还不能扩展到其他压力，比如盐或温度，因为这些可能不会导致声音。此外，她说，目前还没有实验证明飞蛾或任何其他动物是否能听到植物发出的声音并做出反应，所以这个想法目前仍然是基于猜测。)”可知她警告说这个想法目前仍然是基于猜测，故推断她对实验结果持谨慎态度。故选B。
44．推理判断题。根据第五段“It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to recognize between the plants’ sounds and the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sound’s intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example. (甚至可以通过区分声音来知道重音是什么。研究人员训练了一个机器学习模型来识别植物的声音和温室里的风、雨和其他噪音，在大多数情况下，根据声音的强度和频率，正确识别出压力是由干燥还是割伤引起的。例如，耗水的烟草似乎比切好的烟草发出更大的声音。)”和第六段“Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest. (研究人员认为，让农民能够倾听缺水植物的声音可能“在精准农业领域开辟了一个新的方向”。)”可推知利用这项新的研究发现，农民可以更快诊断植物状况。故选C。
45．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Although it has been revealed in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的) cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops. (尽管近年来人们发现植物有视觉、听觉和嗅觉，但它们仍然通常被认为是沉默的。但是现在，人们第一次记录到它们在受到压力时发出超声波叫声，研究人员表示，这可能会开辟一个精准农业的新领域，让农民倾听缺水的作物。)”可知文章主要讲述了以色列特拉维夫大学的研究人员发现番茄和烟草植物在缺水或茎被切断等受到压力时会发出人类听不到的超声哭声，并且介绍了相关实验以及这种发现对精准农业的潜在意义等，所以D选项“植物在压力面前会尖叫”符合文章大意。故选D。
