You don't know about me if you haven't read a book called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Mr. Mark Twain wrote the book and most of it is true. In that book robbers stole some money and hid it in a very secret place in the woods. But Tom Sawyer and I found it,and after that we were rich. We got six thousand dollars each-all gold.
In those days I never had a home or went to school like Tom and all the other boys in St Peters-burg. Pop was always drunk, and he moved around a lot, so he wasn't a very good father. But didn't matter to me.I slept in the streets or in the woods, and I could do what l wanted, when l wanted. It was afine life.
When we got all the money, Tom and l were famous for a while. Judge Thatcher, who was an important man in our town, kept my money in the bank for me. And the Widow Douglas took me to live in her house and said I could be her son. She was very nice and kind, but it was a hard life because I had to wear new clothes and be good all the time.
In the end,l put on my old clothes and ran away. But rfom came after me and said that I had to go back, and that I could be in his gang of robbers. So,1 went back, and the widow cried and I had to put on those new clothes again.I didn't like it at all. Her sister, Miss Watson, lived there too. She was always saying,。Don't put your feet there, Huckleberry', and'Don't do that, Huckleberry.7It was terrible. 21. Which is right according to paragraph 1 7

When I first started growing my own fruit and vegetables iti contai/ers, I found information about how, when and what to feed plants in containers surf)risingly hard to come by. Perhaps this isn't surprising. Crop nutrition is never going to be a sexy subject. At its best it' s a complicated and slightly smelly one. Still, if you want your plants to grow well in containers, you need to put a bit of thought into feeding them. You can devote a lifetime to leaming about crop nutrition. But I' ve found a little knowledge can go a long -way.
Plants need a mix of nutrients, just as humans need to consume a mix of protein, fat, carbohydrate, minerals and vitamins. They particularly need nitrogen ( N) for leaf growth, phosphorus ( P) for root growth, and potassium ( K) for fruit growth. All plants need all three, but leafy crops particularly need nitrogen, and fruit crops won't develop well without enough potassium. They also need a wide range of other nutrients,often in tiny quantities. I think of these as the equivalent of the vitamins and minerals we need to keep us healthy. Finally, plants need bacteria in the soil to break it down and release food to their roots, just as humans need bacteria to digest food in our stomach.
Most growing mixes you can buy in garden centers only contain enough nutrients for six weeks' growth. So for best results, you need the right fertilizer ( rich in either nitrogen or potassium) and you need to make sure the plant has enough vitamins and minerals and that there is plenty of soil life in your pots.
24. What does the underlined word “this\ A. to grow fruit and vegetables in containers B. to find information about growing fruit and vegetables . C. to feed fruit and vegetables in containers D. to get information about feeding plants in containers . 25. If you want to grow tomatoes, which nutrient will you use more?
A. Nitrogen. B. Phosphorus. C. Potassium. 26. 27.
D. Vitamin.
According to the writer, wluch will be needed if you want to get the best results?
a. the right fertilizer b, enough vitarr/ins and mineralsc. plenty of soil life d, protein, fat and carbohydrateA. abc B. bcd. C. acd. . D. abd.What's the main purpose of the passage?
A. To tell people most compost in garden centers contains few nutrients.B. To tell people to dedicate a lifetime to leaning about crop nutrition.
C. To tell people all plants need nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. D. To tell people some information about feeding plants in containers. ; C
Climate researchers met recently in Cameroon to talk about threats to Africa s land and ani mals. They said they believe the continent may lose a large number of its animal and plant species by the end of this century. They blame the expected losses on the warming of earth, population growth and unrestricted development.
The researchers represent 20 African, American and European universities. They say countries
in south of the Saharan desert are losing forest faster than any place on earth. Wood companies are cutting down trees to meet growing demand from China, Europe and the United States.
The population is growing at 3 percent per year. There are now homes, factories and farms on land that once was forest. Climate change also continues to threaten species.
Thomas Smith is the director of the Center for Tropical Research at the University of California. \, Africa may lose 30 percent 'of its animals and plants. And unfortunately with the increase in C02 that has been now judged to be up to three degrees in terms of rising global temperatures-that means we may lose 40 percent of all animals in Africa by the end of the century,\
The African chimpanzee is one such animal at risk. Mary Katherine Gonder studies chimpanzees in the Congo Basin. She says the forest home is disappearing. She also says hunters continue to kill the animals to sell as food. \, the distribution of those chimpanzees will change. Their habitat(牺居地)will change fundamentally and they will no longer be around. The habitat for those chimpanzees will be gone,\
Thomas Smith of the University of California says it' s possible to develop Africa and care for the environment at the same time. \, we need to develop green economies. For example, we are working with parties here to develop new ways of providing green jobs, for example areas that you can preserve, like forests, and at the same time produce 'crops that are appropriate for people to sell and to eat. \
28. According to the first paragraph, which is not the cause of the expected losses? A. The earth becomes warm. B. Population grows quick. C. Development is not limited. D. Hunting becomes fierce.
29. Why are countries in south of the Saharan desert losing forest faster than any place on earth? A. Climate change continues to threaten forests. B. People there cut trees to make fire.
C. Trees are being cut to satisfy great countries' increasing need.
D. Wood companies want to help China, Europe and the USA.30. What can we infer from Gonder' s words in Paragraph 5? A. Chimpanzees will be gone in the next 20 years. B. Chimpanzees' habitat may disappear one day.
C. The forest home of Chimpanzees has already disappeared. D. The African chimpanzee is one such animal at risk.31. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. We need to balance nature and people's needs.
B. It' s impossible to develop Africa and preserve nature. C. We are facing a very large number of challenges. D. It' s more important to provide for economic needs. D
A Robot Fish has been developed by National University of Singapore' s researchers from the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. This robot fish has movements which have been inspired by the movements of the carp(鳃鱼) .
There are various purposes that it can be used for. It can help in underwater archaeology(考古学). For example, it can enter a sunken city where human divers cannot enter,Just like a fish, it can also look at all the comers of particular wreckage. This robot can also be used for general
purposes such as detection of leakages in a pipeline or for laying down communication cables across oceans. It also has possible military uses. In order to copy carp movements, Mr. Fan studied the movements of the fish for around 3 months. He studied all the different movements of carp using different cameras and then converted these movements mathematically to transfer this data to the robot using many actuators(驱动器). Professor Xu commented on the robot that the current models that copy fish movements are capable only of 2D movements which limits their capability as they are not able to dive into water. He said that his model is the first model with 3D movements which allows it to dive as well as float with the help of its fins, just as a normal fish would do. Hence, this fish model robot has much greater movement capability. It would be much harder for enemies to detect as compared to traditional ones when used for military purposes.The researches want to make their robot fish even smaller, more realistic while adding moresensors such as GPS and video camera to it. This will improve its autonomous 3D movement. They are also planning to test the fish by giving it more difficult tasks such as detecting various objects.32. The author gave an example in paragraph 2____. A. to introduce the Robot Fish can help in underwater archaeology B. to show the Robot Fish can be used for general purposes C. to show the Robot Fish can lay down communication cables across oceans D. to tell us the Robot Fish has possible military uses33. Which is NOT true about the 3D Robot Fish? A. It is capable of diving into water. B.It cannot dive into water. C. It can float using its fins. D.It is difficult to detect.34. What's the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The researchers will give the robot more difficult tasks. B. The researches want to make their robot smaller. C. The researchers are going to test the robot. D. The researches plan to improve the robot.35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement used widely B. First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement treading the ocean C. First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement created in Singapore D. First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement's general purposes笫二节(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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you are interested in studying at an American umversity, you have probably heard about the Test of English as a Foreign Language. 36 .It is the most widely used language assessment exam for Amencan universities.
