14．As with any house guests，indoor plants require a certain amount of basic，regular attention if they are going to feel at home．The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed．
A general rule for most plants being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60degrees Fahrenheit，a position out of cold air，safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight．
Plants love company．When plants are growing together，they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions．A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement．There is no secret to this．Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony．
Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood，but，again，if you follow a few simple rules，your plants should do well．Cold water direct from the tap can have a frightening effect on the roots of delicate plants．Slightly warm water is therefore the answer．It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom．Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals（間隔）----it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering．
The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October，and during this time，the established ones will benefit from regular feeding．This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer（肥料） at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength．It is important，however，to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive，when the soil in the pot is dry，or too soon after the plants has been potted up．
28．In Paragraph 2，the author mainly tells us toD．
A．buy plants that help clean indoor air
B．create a new environment with plants
C．put plants on the sunny side of the room
D．make sure of suitable conditions for plants
29．What's the benefit of plants growing together？B
A．It provides owners good company．
B．It helps the air around them slightly wet．
C．It makes it convenient to look after them．
D．It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture．
30．While watering the plants，what should we remember to do？A
A．Use water that is a little warm．
B．Pour the water into the pot holder．
C．Give small amount of water at one time．
D．Consider further watering in dry weather．
31．What is the best time to feed the plants？B
A．When the soil is dry．
B．When their growth is active．
C．When the temperature is high．
D．When they have just been planted．

分析 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，主要介紹了如何養(yǎng)室內植物．

解答 DBAB
28 D 考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)第二段的A general rule for most plants being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60degrees Fahrenheit，a position out of cold air，safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight．對于大多數(shù)第一次帶進室內的植物的總體規(guī)則是要確保他們有不低于60華氏度的合理溫度、遠離冷空氣的位置、避免寵物以及不要暴露在強光下．可知第二段作者主要是在告訴我們要為植物找到合適的條件，故本題答案為D選項．
29  B 考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章第三段的When plants are growing together，they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions．植物一起生長時，他們能在它們周圍創(chuàng)造出一種潮濕的（damp）環(huán)境，這種環(huán)境比干燥的條件要有益得多．可知本題答案為B選項．
30  A 考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章第四段的Cold Slightly warm water is therefore the answer．"因此冷的但是稍微溫暖一點的水是答案"．可知本題答案為A選項．
31．B 考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章最后一段的The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October，and during this time，the established ones will benefit from regular feeding．（大部分的室內植物從三月一直到十月份都處于活躍增長，而且在此期間它們受益于有規(guī)律的喂養(yǎng)）及最后一句的前半部分It is important，however，to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive…（然而確保不要在指物生長不活躍時喂養(yǎng)它們這一點是很重要的）．可知"在指物活躍時喂養(yǎng)是最佳時間"，故本題答案為B選項．

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關句，（1）排除與原文相關句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關句態(tài)度相反的選項  （3）排除用于過于極端或負面的選項（4）注意結合文章主旨和主題去排除．

9．Have you ever met the situation where you kept thinking that there are opportunities，or chances，which are better than your current one？This is the syndrome（綜合征） when you are looking at the other side of the grass and think that the grass is greener on the other side and is also what I call the"greener grass"syndrome．
Why are you like this？Uncertainty and curiosity play a big part in creating the"greener grass"syndrome．If you have this syndrome，you are likely to miss a lot of things you have now．When you are always focusing on other opportunities，sometimes you may waste the opportunity right in front of you．
So what can you do to treat the"greener grass"syndrome？Just remember：the grass always starts out a nice and shiny green，but will begin to wear a bit with use．Then，it still needs to be maintained in order to stay a nice shade of green．So as for your jobs，the first thing to do is recognize that your current job is your best choice right now．Try to focus on"what is"instead of"what if"．Secondly，always stick to your job，no matter which side you are at．Last but not least，always do your best in your current job．In conclusion，it is important for you to choose a side，and make the best．
24．Which one of the following thoughts is Not the"greener grass syndrome"？B
A．Students studying abroad must live a much more relaxing life than us．
B．I am better than I used to be．
C．What if I were a boy
D．If I could just lose 10pounds，I would feel better．
25．How can people deal with the"green grass"syndrome？A
A．Stick to whatever side you are at．
B．Just ignore the dulled green grass
C．Seek for the best choice．
D．Focus on"what if"
26．What is the purpose of this passage？C
A．To introduce a common medical syndrome．
B．To discuss ways to focus on different opportunities．
C．To persuade people to make the best of what they have．
D．To show people different ways to make the grass greener．
27．How is the passage organized？C
A．Opinion-Description-Discussion
B．Comparison-Argument-Explanation
C．Introduction-Explanation-Discussion
D．Explanation-Supporting examples-Main idea．

19．When you make a mistake，big or small，cherish it like it's the most precious thing in the world．Because in some ways，it is．
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes，beat ourselves up about it，feel like failures，get mad at ourselves．
And that's only natural：most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad，that we should try to avoid mistakes．We've been scolded when we make mistakes-at home，school and work．Maybe not always，but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction．
Yet without mistakes，we could not learn or grow．If you think about it that way，mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world：they make learning possible； they make growth and improvement possible．
By trial and error-trying things，making mistakes，and learning from those mistakes-we have figured out how to make electric light，to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel，to fly．
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler，make speech possible，make works of genius possible．
Think about how we learn：we don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it．You don't just read about painting，or writing，or computer programming，or baking，or playing the piano，and know how to do them right away．Instead，you get information about something，from reading or from another person or from observing，then you make mistakes and repeat，making mistakes，learning from those mistakes，until you've pretty much learned how to do something．That's how we learn as babies and toddlers，and how we learn as adults．Mistakes are how we learn to do something new-because if you succeed at something，it's probably something you already knew how to do．You haven't really grown much from that success-at most it's the last step on your journey，not the whole journey．Most of the journey was made up of mistakes，if it's a good journey．
So if you value learning，if you value growing and improving，then you should value mistakes．They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible．

56．Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes？A
A．Because we've been taught so from a young age．
B．Because mistakes make us suffer a lot．
C．Because it's a natural part in our life．
D．Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers．
57．According to the passage，what is the right attitude to mistakes？C
A．We should try to avoid making mistakes．
B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes．
C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn．
D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction．
58．The underlined word"toddler"in Paragraph 6probably meansD．
A．a(chǎn) school teenager learning to write     
B．a(chǎn) kindergarten child learning to draw
C．a(chǎn) primary pupil learning to read       
D．a(chǎn) small child learning to walk
59．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．most of us can really grow from success
B．growing and improving are based on mistakes
C．we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D．we read about something and know how to do it right away．

6．Teachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to preschool child．But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers．
The two-year study compared children who were read in this way in class with children who were not．Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading，spelling and understanding．These results were found one year and even two years later．
 Shayne Piasta，an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University，was a n author of the study．She says most preschool teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach．They already read story-books in class．The only diff erence would be increased attention to the printed text．"If you get children to pay attention to letters and words，it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling．"But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way．
   More than 300 children aged four and five were observed in classrooms．They came from poor families and were below average in their language skills．For thirty weeks，the children took part in a program called Project STAR-Sit Together and Read．The project is based in Ohio State．It tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to preschool children in their classrooms．
    There are different ways that adults can talk to children about print．They can point to a letter and discuss it，and even trace the shape with a finger．They can point out a word and discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story．And they can talk about the organization of the print--for instance，showing how words are written left to right in English．
56．What do we know about the ways preschool children are usually taught？B
A．Preference is given to the shape of the letters and the organization of the print．
B．More attention is paid to the picture，with words and letters being ignored．
C．The focus of the teaching is on bringing them up to be good readers．
D．Equal attention is paid to the texts and the pictures．
57．Shayne Piasta suggested that preschool teachers shouldC．
A．read storybooks regularly in class．
B．learn to manage their class well
C．often discuss the printed words and letters  
D．search for a better method of reading
58．The children who joined in Project STAR wereA．
A．very poor in their reading          
B．mostly cleverer than others
C．especially good at language skills   
D．worried about reading problems
59．Which of the following is TRUE about the study on language skills of preschool children？D
A．Many teachers want to change their way of teaching preschool children．
B．Attention of the pictures has made the children uninterested in reading．
C．Teachers are often prevented from taking different approaches to language teaching．
D．Project STAR aims to research into the results of reading books to preschool children in the classro om．
60．The last paragraph mainly tells usC．
A．why we should discuss the meaning of the print 
B．the shape of the letter is the focus of teaching
C．how we can teach children about print   
D．English words are usually written from left to right．

4．We often hear people say，"1have a good memory for things like that．"or"I can remember names．"
But do you know memory is the single most important thing and it has played a very important part？For early men，there were dangers all around them-bad weather．wild animals．The keys to keep on living lay in man's ability to remember these dangers and the ways he had dealt with them in the pest And as man learned how to deal with them，he became civilized Surprisingly，scientists have not yep found a way to open up the brain and observe its function without destroying it．Perhaps there are two types of memory，long-term and short-term．Short-term refers to those facts that stay with us for a few seconds to a few hours．For example，when you stay at a hotel，you remember the room and forget it as soon as you leave．Long-term memory，on the other hand，means you remember things for a long period of time．If you spend your honeymoon in a special hotel．it's likely that you'll remember your stay quite clearly．
Scientists also believe that a short-term memory can become a long-term memory if a lot of chemical and physical changes take place in the part of the brain．Although the human brain weighs three pounds，it contains 30billion nerve cells acting like a computer．When those changes strengthen the links in certain nerve cells，a thought becomes a part of the long-term memory．
21．To live safely，people in the past should be able to rememberB．
A．the learning ability          
B．the dangers around them
C．some wild plants              
D．their friends'addresses
22．How many types of memory are mentioned in the passage？B
A.1．
B.2．
C.3．
D.4．
23．A short-term memory can become a long-tam memory whenD
A．certain nerve cells get destroyed in daily life
B．the facts stay in the brain for quite a few hours
C．people become strong through different exercise
D．some nerve cells link strongly by certain changes
24．What's the best title for this passage？C
A．Living skills             
B．Chemical changes
C．Memory types          
D．Physical changes．
