【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 “Soon, you're going to have to move out!” cried my neighbour upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighbourhood.
One tiny 9inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren't for the pleasure they give, it wouldn't be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweetsmelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold(由两部分组成的). First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once they are found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the_prize_so_dearly_won. Second, I found two fullblown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves were already yellow for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision: to tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in GonewiththeWind, I'll think about that tomorrow.
(1)What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?
A.Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
B.Tomato plants grown alongside.
C.Cages placed around the roots.
D.A lot of care and the right soil.
(2)The writer planted the tomato because ________.
A.there was room for it in the garden
B.it cost only $1.25
C.the soil was just right for it
D.the roses' branches needed to be covered
(3)This year the writer's roses were ________.
A.removed from the rose bed
B.picked along with the tomatoes
C.largely hidden under the tomato plant
D.mostly damaged by too much sunlight
(4)By saying “the prize so dearly won” in Paragraph 5, the writer wants to ________.
A.show the hardship of growing the roses
B.show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
C.express her liking for the roses
D.express her care for the tomatoes

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。
The cases in Jingdezhen’s exhibition hall are full of delicate porcelain(精瓷) pieces, all apparently from ancient royal collections. Appearances are misleading, however, because every piece is of modern manufacture.
For their creator Huang Yunpeng, who has spent almost his entire life making porcelain in the city in Jiangxi province, the local industry’s reputation is closely connected with his personal life.
Huang is regarded by many as the industry leader in the town known as “China’s porcelain capital”, because of his use of traditional manufacturing methods. He’s a quiet man, but when the media crowded into the city, labeling it a “hub(中心) for fakes”, the 72-year-old suddenly found his voice. “It’s very unfair to our industry,” he said, pointing to several exquisite(精致的) pieces of original porcelain in his studio. “How could visitors enjoy these beautiful exhibits without our efforts?”
The pieces, owned by some of China’s top museums, were sent to Huang to be reproduced in detail.
“Making replicas(复制品) is an important way of protecting the treasures collected by the museums,” Huang said, “But their meaning goes far beyond that.”
Demand for fine old-style porcelain is sky-high, but few can afford the extra high prices, so replicas are made to fill the gap. For example, in 2010, a vase made during the rule of the Emperor Qianlong (1735-96)was sold for HK$250 million ($32.3 million) at an auction(拍卖) in Hong Kong, setting a new record, but Huang’s replica cost just 30,000 yuan ($4,830).
He said it’s hard to distinguish between the originals and his replicas by sight, but insisted that he doesn’t try to make his pieces feel like antiques. “That’s the difference between replicas and outright fakes,” he said.
Huang stressed that his logo is always visible on the base of the replicas, so purchasers will not be misled, but admitted he was concerned that some of the city’s smaller studios don’t follow that practice.
“They may make fast money but they will harm the industry’s long-term reputation. The law needs to crack down on these people,” he said.
(1)Which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 1?
A.Terrifying.
B.Confusing.
C.Charming.
D.Appealing.
(2)What do we know about Jingdezhen?
A.It is a hub for fakes.
B.It produces ancient royal collections.
C.It is known as China’s porcelain capital.
D.People there likes collecting antiques.
(3)Huang is regarded as the industry leader by many local people for____________.
A.his devotion to the porcelain making
B.his remarkable leadership
C.his large scale of porcelain making
D.his traditional manufacturing methods using
(4)Which of the following may be not the reason for the wide spread of the replicas?
A.People are forbidden to buy the ancient royal collections.
B.They can protect the ancient treasures collected by the museums.
C.Old-style porcelain is beyond people’s purchase.
D.Manufacturers can make a large profit with simple skills.
(5)Huang raised his concern about some small illegal studios mainly because______________.
A.they can’t meet people’s demands and needs
B.their products are of poor quality
C.they may affect the industry’s fame in the long run
D.they break the law

【题目】For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans. 1Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today. Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.

Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. 2 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.

Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 3 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants proved so popular

that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.

In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets (铆钉). This made the pants last a long time. Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.4.

By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion. 5The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.

A. As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.

B. Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.

C. He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.

D. However, he did not get much business for those products.

E. He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.

F. Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.

G. As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
(C)
Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens researches into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archaeologists (考古学家) says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.
“Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write.
The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.
The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.
Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.
Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist at Sheffield University, said, “Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”
The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.
(1)According to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because ________.
A.it is only a temporary measure on the human remains
B.it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research
C.it was introduced by the government without their knowledge
D.it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains
(2)Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.
B.Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh.
C.Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.
D.Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.
(3)What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?
A.The Ministry of Justice did not intend to protect human remains.
B.The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.
C.The law on human remains hasn't changed in recent decades.
D.The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law.
(4)Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.
B.Research time should be extended, scientists require.
C.Law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.
D.Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archaeologists warn.

【题目】In most parts of Britain,the black cat is a symbol of good luck and owning a black cat may bring good luck to the family.But recently,black cats can no longer enjoy so much favor.
