I began to work as a salesgirl in a department store.I got there that morning and was introduced to all the salesmen and saleswomen.Throughout the day，one of the salesmen talked with me.I thought we might become friends.That evening after work we went out for dinner.We sat together and talked，but our numbers were never exchanged.
Around 10 p．m.I began my 2 hour drive back.For the first part of the drive I was thinking to myself how stupid I had been for not giving him my number.Then all of a sudden，when I had gone around a corner I was completely over in another lane.There was no time to even hit the brakes.I hit at once.The police came and cut the top of my car off to get me out.They sent me to the hospital quickly.
My mother got there late that night，and saw me lying in the emergency room.The next morning，mom called the manager and told him what had happened and that I would be in the hospital for a long time.A few hours later，I received a phone call—it was the guy I hadn’t given my number.Well，he came to visit me that night and the next night.We spent a lot of time together.
It was months before I would be walking and driving again，but he’d sit by me.I don’t think I could have pulled through it without him.Now I can walk freely，and just this week we are planning on getting married one year after the day we met.It’s just amazing how a tragedy like a car accident could bring about such a wonderful relationship!

(2010年江西师大附中，临川一中联考，E)
Plants have family values，too.It seems，with new research suggesting they can recognize close relatives in order to work together.Susan Dudley and Amanda File of McMaster University in Ontario，Canada，report they have demonstrated for the first time that plants can recognize their kin (亲属)．
Plants from the same species of wildflower grew aggressively alongside unrelated neighbors but were less competitive when they shared soil with their siblings (同胞)，the study found.This North American species，named sea rocket，showed more vigorous root growth when planted in pots with strangers than when raised with relatives of its kind.In addition to restraining root growth，such plants may also develop different stem lengths in the presence of siblings.
This is an example of kin selection，a behavior common in aninals in which closely related individuals take a group approach to succeeding in their environment，the researchers said.Kin selection also applies to competition，the scientists added，because if family members compete less with each other，the group will do better overall.
“Everywhere you look，plants are growing right up next to other plants，” Dudley said，pointing out that usually it’s a case of each plant for itself.“But sometimes those plants are related，and there are benefits to not wasting resources on being competitive.”
How the plants determine which of their neighbors are siblings remains a mystery，Dudley said.Learning and memory appear to be important for kin recognition in animals，but this isn’t an option for plants，she noted.Some researchers speculate (推测) that plants communicate through their roots，identifying themselves using tiny chemical signatures specific to each plant’s family.
The new study may have important implications (影响) for agriculture，Dudley added，since competition between plants can reduce crop yields. Planting more cooperative siblings together instead of strangers could theoretically mean better harvests.
5．What’s the main idea of this passage
A．Plants can recognize and communicate with their relatives.
B．Plants can be as clever as animals.
C．Study finds a good way to increase crop yields.
D．Study proves competition exists between plants.
6．According to the study，sea rocket________.
A．usually lived with unrelated neighbors
B．grew taller than its neighbors
C．showed kindness among siblings
D．needed a competitive environment
7．The underlined word “restraining” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.
A．exciting B．limiting
C．counting D．keeping
8．Which of the following is NOT true of kin selection
A．It is also found in the case of sea rocket.
B．It usually helps animals adapt to their environment.
C．It reduces competition between family members.
D．It is a common competition in the animal world.
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．D　该题考查形容词作状语。形容词一般作定语，但也可作状语。如：He lay in bed，awake.再如：Her husband came back，drunk.
2．C　to one’s surprise令某人吃惊的是；in surprise吃惊地。句意为：使我非常吃惊的是，我进教室时每个学生都吃惊地看着我。
3．A　occasionally意为“有时；偶尔”。eventually最终；urgently迫切地，急切地；conveniently方便地，便利地。根据句意“整个上午他都在忙于写那篇故事，偶尔停下来琢磨恰当的字眼”可知答案为A。
4．D　根据“as/so＋形容词＋a/an＋名词＋as”结构，可排除A、B两项；当名词为不可数名词或复数名词时，不能使用so，可排除C项。
5．A　now and then意为“不时，时而”，符合句意。here and there到处，处处，more or less或多或少，sooner or later迟早。
6．C　absolutely绝对地；extremely极端地；thoroughly详细地，彻底地；completely完整地。
7．C　be set in以……为背景，此处用过去分词短语，相当于一个非限制性定语从句which is set in Tang Dynasty的省略形式。
8．A　本题考查it作形式宾语的用法，真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语“to finish the work in such a short time”。
9．D　she played in the film是宾语从句，修饰role，构成短语play a role in sth.在……中扮演角色。
10．C　come out意为“出版”，符合句意。come about产生， come across偶然遇见， come over过来。
11．C　此题考查名词词义的辨析。抽象名词fun不可数，不可与a/an连用，也不可加s。而pleasure作不可数名词时，意为“快乐，娱乐，满足；意志，愿望”，也可作可数名词，意为“使人快乐的事，乐趣”，可与不定冠词连用。
12．D　moved用于“人感到感动”； moving则指事物“令人感动的”。
13．B　care about关心，顾虑，在乎，care for喜欢，想要，照顾，take care小心，当心，take care of照料，照顾。
14．B　make sb.do sth.，但用在被动语态中应为sb.be made to do；marry是及物动词，后直接跟宾语，即marry sb.。
15．C　本题考查分词的完成式作状语。wait发生在谓语动词realize之前，故用完成式。句意为：在排队等了半个小时后，汤姆突然意识到他把钱包忘在家里了。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】　第一天到百货商店上班的“我”和一个男售货员擦出了火花。在下班的途中，“我”因为注意力不集中而出了车祸，被迫住院治疗。最终“我”因祸得福，和那个男售货员牵手步入了婚姻的殿堂。
1．D　细节理解题。根据第二段的前两句可知，在驱车回家途中，“我”一直在怪自己没有把电话号码留给那名男售货员。第三到五句说，突然“我”驶入另外一个车道，甚至没有时间踩刹车，就撞上了(其他的车)。所以事故发生的原因是“我”开车时注意力不集中，换言之是“我”开车时不小心。
2．C　推理判断题。根据第二段的最后两句话，第三段的前两句及最后一段的第一句可知，“我”的伤势非常严重。
3．A　推理判断题。根据第三段的第二、三两句话可知：在“我”受伤住院的第二天，妈妈打电话给经理(向他)说明情况，几小时以后，那个男售货员就给我打来了电话，故他可能是从经理那里得知我住院的情况的。
4．B　推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段可知，在“我”住院治疗期间那个男售货员始终陪伴“我”、照顾“我”，相识一年后“我们”即将结婚，故作者认为正是这场车祸使“我”遇到了真爱。
【语篇解读】　研究表明植物能认出它的“亲戚”，还能进行交流。
5．A　主旨大意题。根据文章内容尤其是第一段内容可知本文的主题为“植物能辨认它们的‘亲戚’并进行交流”。
6．C　推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知C项正确。
7．B　词义理解题。根据前一句“sea rocket与其他种类的植物种在一起时会更强壮地生长”可知，在面对“同胞”时，它会限制根的生长。因此，在这里restrain的意思为limit (限制)。
8．D　判断正误题。由第三段第一句中的“...kin selection，a behavior common in animal...”可知，D项错误。
