After that the  43   was poured into a cup. Turning back to his daughter,  he asked,  "What do you   44   ?" "Carrots,  eggs,  and coffee, " she answered.

本文讲述了父亲在女儿生活遇到麻烦时,用开水煮胡萝卜、鸡蛋和咖啡的烹饪方法,揭示了一个重要的人生道理:我们在经历了困难和挣扎之后,应该成为能够改变自己命运的主人。
小题1: B。 既考查动词短语含义:A长大;B放弃;C建立;D捡起;还需要把握人物思想状况:女儿对困难不知所措,想要放弃。
小题1: A。 动词短语搭配,take sb into 把某人带入某地,厨师父亲把女儿带进了厨房。

小题1: C。 下文提示:she got boiled and hard eggs,这一定是敲碎煮熟的鸡蛋后的结果。上文就是break。
小题1: B。 从本题开始升华文章中心。父亲用常识来解析生活哲理,所以选explained,解释。
小题1: C。 上文提示:each one had had the same unlucky experience — the boiled water, 意思是:每样物品都经历了相同的不幸—被煮过;但是每样物品却有着不同的反应。上下文存在转折关系。
小题1: B。 鸡蛋在煮熟之后变硬,所以选 after。
小题1: D。 考查动词固定搭配。当厄运“叩响”你的大门时(意思是困难来临时),你的反应是什么?

Stress(压力) is everywhere in our everyday life. Not only men have it, but also women and young people. 
The most important reasons of stress are: diseases, exams, making money, getting married, moving houses, changing jobs, ending friendships and so on.
How do you know whether you have stress? Give your answers to the following questions?
 
 
Yes
No
1
Do you easily get angry?
 
 
2
Do you often sleep badly?
 
 
3
Do you get headaches a lot?
 
 
4
Do you take sleeping pills (药片)?

6

7

8

If you answer “Yes” to more than two of these questions, you are one of those people with stress. So what can you do about it?
Doing relaxing exercises, talking with friends and listening to light music are all usual ways of relieving(减轻) stress. However, doctors now say that there are easier ways --- people should laugh and smile more often. When you laugh and smile, your body relaxes.

In 1993 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said”Stop! That’s our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930S, ‘ 40s and ‘ 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.

A new study finds that plants communicate with one another to warn of danger.
We often consider plants as the furniture of the natural world. They don’t move; they don’t make sounds, they don’t seem to act on anything. But as is often the case, plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical.
Over the years, scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, give out chemicals into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings can spread information about one plant’s disease or infestation(虫害), so other plants can protect themselves. But how plants receive and act on many of the information exactly is still mysterious.
In this week’s Science Magazine, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They have found out one chemical message and traced it all the way from beginning to end.
The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest(害虫). To start out, they grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube(管子). One plant was infested and placed upwind and the other was uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed(暴露) to the pest. The results showed that plants near sick neighbors before were able to protect themselves better against the pest.
They found one chemical appeared more often in the exposed plants. The chemical is called HexVic. The scientists discovered where HexVic come from, and put it over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to produce HexVic. Researchers made sure that uninfested plants could fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to protect themselves? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.
It is not a simple story, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. In a word, we know that plants not only communicate, but also look out for one another.
小题1:The underlined “traced” in the fourth paragraph probably means _________ here.
A.reportedB.followed
C.doubtedD.developed
小题2:For scientists, which are the right steps to watch tomato plants infested by a pest?
①  Place the infested plant upwind.
②  Place the uninfested plant downwind.
③  Expose the downwind plants to the pest.
④  Grow plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube.
A.③①②④B.①④③②
C.④①②③D.④②①③
小题3:You can put the sentence “The researches also studied leaves from exposed plants and unexposed plants.” At the beginning of
A.Paragraph 3B.Paragraph 4
C.Paragraph 5D.Paragraph 6
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.Communicating Plants and Terrible Diseases
B.Talking Plants and Friendly Warnings
C.Protecting Plants and Clear Information
D.Growing Plants and Mysterious Chemicals
