Without plants, people could not live. We eat plants. We take in oxygen that plants make. And we need plants for another reason: We need them because they are beautiful.
Imagine a world with no plants. Imagine no flowers with their sweet smells, their beautiful colours and their lovely shapes. Imagine, when the wind blows, we are not able to hear the leaves in the trees or watch the branches swing from side to side.
Everywhere people need beautiful plants. That is why we have parks full of trees and flowers. That is why people always like houses with room for some grass and a garden.
Do you talk to your plants Do you give them love and take good care of them Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, writers of a book called THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS, tell of an experiment in which two seeds were planted in different places. While the plants were growing, one plant was given love and hopeful ideas. After six months, the beloved plant was bigger. Under the earth it had more and longer roots; above the earth, it had a thicker stem and more leaves.
56. In the experiment, the two plants were ________.
A. talked to in two different ways
B. of different kinds
C. both given love and taken good care of
D. grown in the same place
57. At the end of six months________.
A. the plants were of the same size
B. one plant had longer roots than the other
C. one plant had longer roots; the other plant had a thicker stem
D. one plant had a thicker stem; the other plant had more leaves
58. Tompkins and Bird believe that plants ________.
A. can talk to each other
B. can take care of each other
C. should be grown in different places

59. The experiment tells us that _________.
A. without plants people could not live

When we say that Cambridge is a university town we do not mean that it is a town with a university in it. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town, it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, restaurants, market places and so on, but most of it is university, colleges, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students. The town was there first. Cambridge became a center of learning in the thirteenth century. Many students were too poor to afford lodgings（住宿）. Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply. This was the beginning of the present day college system.
Today there are nearly thirty colleges. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course: the numbers are too great. Many of them live in lodgings at first and move into college for their final year. But every student is a member of his college from the beginning. He must eat a number of meals in the college hall each week.
Students are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don’t try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures, as you will find crowds of people on bicycles hurrying in all directions. If you are in Cambridge at five minutes to the hour any morning of the term, you’ll know that you are in a university town. Stop in safe place and wait.
60. Why is Cambridge described as a university town Because ___ .
A. the university is in the town
B. The university buildings fit in well with the town
C. The size of Cambridge is just as big as the town
D. The separating line between the university and the town is not obvious
61. In the first paragraph “but most of it is university”, “it” refers to __ .
A. the rest of the city B. the town
C. the university D. the heart of Cambridge
62. Which of the following can best give the main idea of the second paragraph
A. Cambridge has a long history.
B. The town was built before the university.
C. Many students were short of money, so colleges were set up then.
D. It was cheaper for students to live in colleges than in lodgings.
63. People find it hard to drive through Cambridge at five minutes to the hour in the morning because of .
A. the large number of cars in the streets
B. streams of bikes going in all directions
C. safety control of the cars at this time
D. the speed limit of the car
C
A poem
Music notes fly through my ears.
Soft sounds float in the air，
as if they are floating on water.
Music is like a paintbrush，
painting sounds in the sky.
A warm sun shining bright，
clouds drifting far away in the night，
to the sounds of music.
Music is nature’s friend，
as one paints our earth，
and the other fills our hearts.
64.The writer compares music to the following EXCEPT ______.
A. sounds floating on water

All through history, explorers have led the way for people to move into new places. Today’s explorers are responsible for leading the way into space.
The first person in space was Yuri Gagarin from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ( USSR). Mr. Gagarin was sent into space on April 12, 1961 aboard Vostok 1. The Vostok 1 spaceship reached a point 325 kilometers ( 203 miles) high before it began to fall back to the earth. Mr. Gagarin’s journey only lasted 108 minutes, but that first trip into space marked the opening of the Space Age.
The first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova who was from the USSR.. Ms Tereshkova circled the earth for two days and 22 hours aboard Vostok 6 in 1963. During this journey, Vostok 6 completely circled the earth 48 times!

Neil Armstrong from the United States was the first man to set foot on the moon. When the Apollo 11 space team landed on the moon, Mr. Armstrong was the first person to step out of the ship, the Eagle, onto the moon on July 21，1969. The last people to visit the moon were members of the Apollo 17 space team in 1972. These men spent almost three days on the moon picking up rocks and collecting soil from the surface of the moon. They brought these samples back to earth for scientists around the world to study.
For the time being, only about 300 people from all around the world have gone into space, but this number will surely increase as scientists continue to explore space.

Without plants, people could not live. We eat plants. We take in oxygen that plants make. And we need plants for another reason: We need them because they are beautiful.
Imagine a world with no plants. Imagine no flowers with their sweet smells, their beautiful colours and their lovely shapes. Imagine, when the wind blows, we are not able to hear the leaves in the trees or watch the branches swing from side to side.
Everywhere people need beautiful plants. That is why we have parks full of trees and flowers. That is why people always like houses with room for some grass and a garden.
Do you talk to your plants Do you give them love and take good care of them Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, writers of a book called THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS, tell of an experiment in which two seeds were planted in different places. While the plants were growing, one plant was given love and hopeful ideas. After six months, the beloved plant was bigger. Under the earth it had more and longer roots; above the earth, it had a thicker stem and more leaves.
56. In the experiment, the two plants were ________.

When we say that Cambridge is a university town we do not mean that it is a town with a university in it. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town, it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, restaurants, market places and so on, but most of it is university, colleges, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students. The town was there first. Cambridge became a center of learning in the thirteenth century. Many students were too poor to afford lodgings（住宿）. Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply. This was the beginning of the present day college system.
Today there are nearly thirty colleges. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course: the numbers are too great. Many of them live in lodgings at first and move into college for their final year. But every student is a member of his college from the beginning. He must eat a number of meals in the college hall each week.
Students are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don’t try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures, as you will find crowds of people on bicycles hurrying in all directions. If you are in Cambridge at five minutes to the hour any morning of the term, you’ll know that you are in a university town. Stop in safe place and wait.
60. Why is Cambridge described as a university town Because ___ .
A. the university is in the town
B. The university buildings fit in well with the town
C. The size of Cambridge is just as big as the town
D. The separating line between the university and the town is not obvious
61. In the first paragraph “but most of it is university”, “it” refers to __ .
A. the rest of the city B. the town
C. the university D. the heart of Cambridge
62. Which of the following can best give the main idea of the second paragraph
A. Cambridge has a long history.
B. The town was built before the university.
C. Many students were short of money, so colleges were set up then.
D. It was cheaper for students to live in colleges than in lodgings.
63. People find it hard to drive through Cambridge at five minutes to the hour in the morning because of .
A. the large number of cars in the streets
B. streams of bikes going in all directions
C. safety control of the cars at this time
D. the speed limit of the car
C
A poem
Music notes fly through my ears.
Soft sounds float in the air，
as if they are floating on water.
Music is like a paintbrush，

to the sounds of music.

as one paints our earth，
and the other fills our hearts.

All through history, explorers have led the way for people to move into new places. Today’s explorers are responsible for leading the way into space.
The first person in space was Yuri Gagarin from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ( USSR). Mr. Gagarin was sent into space on April 12, 1961 aboard Vostok 1. The Vostok 1 spaceship reached a point 325 kilometers ( 203 miles) high before it began to fall back to the earth. Mr. Gagarin’s journey only lasted 108 minutes, but that first trip into space marked the opening of the Space Age.
The first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova who was from the USSR.. Ms Tereshkova circled the earth for two days and 22 hours aboard Vostok 6 in 1963. During this journey, Vostok 6 completely circled the earth 48 times!
Some of the people who have traveled in space leave the earth entirely. Twelve people have actually walked on the moon. Neil Armstrong from the United States was the first man to set foot on the moon. When the Apollo 11 space team landed on the moon, Mr. Armstrong was the first person to step out of the ship, the Eagle, onto the moon on July 21，1969. The last people to visit the moon were members of the Apollo 17 space team in 1972. These men spent almost three days on the moon picking up rocks and collecting soil from the surface of the moon. They brought these samples back to earth for scientists around the world to study.
For the time being, only about 300 people from all around the world have gone into space, but this number will surely increase as scientists continue to explore space.
