13.I passed all the other courses that I took at my university,but I could have never passed botany.This was because all botany students had to spend several hours a week in a laboratory looking through a microscope at plant cells,and I could never once see a cell through a microscope.This used to make my professor angry.He would wander around the laboratory pleased with the progress all the students were making in drawing the structure of flower cells,until he came to me.I would just be standing there."I can't see anything,"I would say.He would begin patiently enough,explaining how anybody can see through a microscope,but he would always end up angrily,claiming that I could too see through a microscope but just pretended that I couldn't."It takes away from the beauty of flowers anyway."I used to tell him."We are not concerned with beauty in this course,"he would say."We are concerned with the structure of flowers.""Well,"I'd say."I can't see anything.""Try it just once again,"he'd say,and I would put my eye to the microscope and see nothing at all,except now and again something unclear and milky."You were supposed to see a clear,moving plant cells shaped like clocks.""I see what looks like a lot of milk."I would tell him.This,he claimed,was the result of my not having adjusted the microscope properly,so he would readjust it for me,or rather,for himself.And I would look again and see milk.
I failed to pass botany that year,and had to wait a year and try again,or I couldn't graduate.The next term the same professor was eager to explain cell-structure again to his classes."Well,"he said to me,happily,"we're going to see cells this time,aren't we?""Yes,sir,"I said.Students to the right of me and to the left of me and in front of me were seeing cells; what's more,they were quietly drawing pictures of them in their notebook.Of course,I didn't see anything.
So the professor and I tried with every adjustment of the microscope known to man.With only once did I see anything but blackness or the familiar milk,and that time I saw,to my pleasure and amazement,something like stars.These I hurriedly drew.The professor,noting my activity,came to me,a smile on his lips and his eyebrows high in hope. He looked at my cell drawing."What's that?"he asked."That's what I saw,"I said."You didn't,you didn't,you didn't!"he screamed,losing control of himself immediately,and he bent over and looked into the microscope.He raised his head suddenly."That's your eye!"he shouted."You've adjusted the microscope so that it reflects!You're drawn your eye!"

21.Why couldn't the writer see the flower cells through the microscope?C.
A.Because he had poor eyesight
B.Because the microscope didn't work properly
C.Because he was not able to adjust the microscope properly
D.Because he was just playing jokes on his professor by pretending not to have seen it
22.What does the writer mean by"his eyebrows high in hope"in the last paragraph?A
A.His professor expected him to have seen the cells and drawn the picture of them
B.His professor hoped he could perform his task with attention
C.His professor wished him to learn how to draw pictures
D.His professor looked forward to seeing all his students finish their drawings
23.What is the thing like stars that the writer saw in the last paragraph?B
A.Real stars          
B.His own eye
C.Something unknown
D.Milk
24.In what writing style did the writer write the passage?D

1.About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table,I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation.At one point the woman asked,"So,how have you been?"And the boy-who could not have been more than seven or eight years old-replied."Frankly,I've been feeling a little depressed lately."
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing.As far as I can remember,my friends and I didn't find out we were"depressed",that is,in low spirits,until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years.Children don't seem childlike anymore.Children speak more like adults,dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say,but it certainly is different.Childhood as it once was no longer exists.Why?
Human development is depended not only on born biological states,but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge.Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social posifions.Children have always been taught adult secrets,but slowly and in stages;traditionally,we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30years,however,a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been equipped in 98percent of American homes.It is called television.Television passes information to all viewers allke,whether they are children or adults.Unable to resist the temptation(诱惑),many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging,more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print,as a matter of fact,allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain.Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.

41.According to the author,feeling depressed isD.
A.a sure sign of a mental problem in a child
B.a mental state present in all humans,including children
C.something that cannot be avoided in children's mental development
D.something hardly to be expected in a young child
42.Traditionally,a child is supposed to learn about the adult worldB.
A.through connection with society     B.gradually and under guidance
C.naturally without being taught      D.through watching television
43.According to the author'that today's children seem adultlike results fromA.
A.the widespread influence of television
B.the poor arrangement of teaching content
C.the fast pace of human scientific development
D.the rising standard of living
44.What does the anthor think of communication through print for children?D
A.It enables children to gain more social information.
B.It develops children's interest in reading and writing.
C.It helps chlldren to read and write well
D.It can control what children are to learn.
45.What does the author think of the change in today's children?B
A.He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny.
B.He thinks the change worthy of note.
C.He considers it a rapid development.
D.He seems to be upset about it.
