Plant scientists consider them as fruit. Most other people think of them as vegetables. Whatever you call tomatoes, there are many different kinds of this popular and healthy food.
There are two groups of the plants. Small tomato plants grow to about one meter. They can be planted rather close together. Some short kinds do not require special care and are often gotten crop by machines. Large tomato plants can grow over two meters tall. They also produce larger fruits.
People who grow only a few plants can place wire cages around each one. The cage can be made of wire fence material. The cage helps the plant grow taller and produce a better crop.
Tomatoes often need extra calcium (Ca), or the fruits may be ruined. Add lime to the soil can solve this problem. Dry lands may also ruin the fruits. Tomatoes need water regularly. The soil should never dry out completely. Dried grass or leaves placed around the plant can help hold water in the soil and stop the growth of unwanted plants.
Tomatoes are native to South America. The tomato is a member of the potato family. The leaves of the plant are poisonous, like the leaves of its relatives. Before the 18th century, people grew tomatoes only as pretty plants. They called the bright red fruit a “love apple”, but would not eat it.

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish   1  in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.
Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is   2  every corner of our country. The meanings of low carbon are   3  energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can’t wait  4  my ideas on how to promote it.
First,we should   5  a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy.   6  the no-car day, neither students   7  teachers are allowed to drive to school. At the same time,just walk or run. Use our   8  and enjoy the fun.
Second, we had better not use plastic bags   9  . No one can stand the “white pollution”,   10  it is wise to use cloth bags which can   11  again and again.
12 ,one thing   13  we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details. So, as students, we ought to turn   14  the lights the moment we leave, use  15  sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.

All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these:no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let’s do it now.

My work keeps me in Hong Kong most of the year,but I try to get away for a month in summer,usually in July.Now as you probably know,that’s the main 1 season in Europe.The favorite places for vacations and the famous cities are usually very 2 . But I’m not seeking(寻求) the sun—I can get lots of  3 in Hong Kong—and I’m certainly not seeking the crowds!So 4 I go on vacation,I buy a Train Pass(a kind of train ticket) that allows me first-class travel on most of the railways of Western Europe.First-class compartments(车厢) are 5 crowded and they are very comfortable.If you’re going on 6 trip, you can take a sleeping train for an extra charge.There are usually dining cars(餐车) in the train.
I find that train travel is restful and 7 .There’s always 8 to see.I particularly(特别地) enjoy 9 through Switzerland and Italy.You can get a very good 10 of what a country is like from a train because you don’t go too fast and you stop quite often.Also train travel is very safe,and I am never sick on a train 11 I am on a ship. Then there are always people to 12 to if you feel like a chat.
The reason that I seldom(很少) travel by plane is quite 13 : because train stations are usually built in the centre.I don’t have to 14 transport(运输工具), transport can be a problem when arriving by 15

What makes 15,000 men and women run for hours, and what makes them run through the streets on a cold day without coats? I was one of those runners.  The race is called marathon (马拉松).
I had never run more than eight miles before, and here I was training.  Since the race is in April, I had to run throughout the winter, and in Boston, winters are cold. For most people, just putting on their shirts, sweaters, jackets, and hats is exercise enough. I found myself out on the dark streets, running along ice sidewalks (人行道). Even in gloves, my fingers got so cold that they looked like red carrots. My nose didn’t get warm until lunchtime !
Finally, the big day arrived. The weather was cold, with ice and rain. Bang! The gun sounded, and we started. I didn’t go anywhere at first because I was standing behind so many people. I had to wait for them to move.
At first, the running was easy.  The other runners just seemed to pull me along. Somewhere around the 20-mile mark I even said to myself, "This is nothing, why did I train so hard?"
Then I hit "the wall". "The wall" is what marathon runners call the special point. I knew my body reached the point and I thought I couldn’t go any more. I was out of breath and my legs turned into pieces of wood.  I was almost falling down.  I can’t remember anything about the last five miles of the race.
I kept running though. At last, I heard a voice at the finishing line.
"You look good," my friend Ted said. "How did it feel?"
"Wonderful !" I replied.
For everything, if you devote yourself into it, there will be a way. I finished the race, at least, in my heart, I was the winner.
【小题1】Which one best describes the weather on the race day?

A.Cold and rainy.B.Cold and sunny.C.Dry and cloudy.D.Wet and foggy.
【小题2】 How did the writer feel about the race during the first 20 miles?
A.Difficult.B.Boring.C.Easy.D.Interesting.
【小题3】 According to the article, what must someone do to prepare for a marathon?
A.One must eat certain food and get plenty of sleep.
B.One must be willing to eat, sleep, and train twenty-four hours a day.
C.One must run along ice sidewalks every day.
D.One must be willing to train a lot and doesn’t give up easily.
【小题4】Then I hit "the wall". What do you think "hit the wall" means here?
A.撞击墙壁B.到达极限C.抵达终点D.中途加速

  Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.
  Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破坏)the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的).
  Everyone should just relax, say linguists(语言学家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."
  Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.
  However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."
  Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"
 【小题1】What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

A.To give an example of a foreign language.
B.To show an example of creative methods.
C.To express worries about using Netspeak.
D.To lead in the topic of Netspeak.
 【小题2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.
B.Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.
C.David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.
D.James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.
  【小题3】The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______.
A.be fairly sure B.be greatly surprised
C.think it a pity D.find it interesting
  【小题4】 What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet
B.Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?
C.Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?
D.Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages


After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one. In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态)water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life.
The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth. That is about 194 trillion(万亿)kilometres -500 million times farther away from us than the moon.
A spacecraft traveling at a one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years. A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft don’t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.
At present, scientists don’t know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g. What they know is that the planet is at the sight distance from its star to have liquid water. It’s also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface.
Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜)towards the planet and search for radiation(放射). By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals(化学物质)around the planet and discover it Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not. But it’ll probably be many years before we can do this properly.
People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.
【小题1】 What did scientists find in September 2010?

A.A planet with water. B.A planet similar to the earth.
C.A planet without life.D.A planet near the earth.
【小题2】According to the article, Gliese 581g ________.
A.is at the right distance from its starB.moves around the earth
C.is as far away from us as the moonD.can be reached in about 220 years
【小题3】 Paragraph 5 is mainly about ______.
A.the possibility of living on Gliese 581g
B.the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581g
C.the way of looking for life on Gliese 581g
D.the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g
【小题4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage above?
A.Gliese 581g, a Likely Living PlanetB.Gliese 581, a Likely Living Planet
C.Gliese 581g and Its StarD.Gliese 581g and Radiation
