【题目】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 60 degrees 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 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- 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.

【1】In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us to___________.

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

【2】What’s the benefit of plants growing together?

A. It provides owners good company.

B. It makes it convenient to look after them.

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 wet weather.

【4】What is the best time to feed the plants?

【题目】Imagine looking for your lost dog. You step into a cave(洞穴). But instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave paintings. You see paintings of horses, deer, and bison that are drawn in black, brown, red and yellow. Your first question would probably be "Who did this?"

This is what happened to four French boys in 1940. They found the Lascaux caves. The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are 17,000 years old. They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro-Magnons.

Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today. They used tools, such as fishing nets. But their art was extremely good. The main cave at Lascaux is called the Great Hall of Bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colors. The largest animal is 18 feet long. There are smaller animals, such as bison, stags(雄鹿) and a bear. There is also a strange spotted two-horned (两只角的) animal.

To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of multicolored animals. One painting is called Little Horses. On the ceiling are horses and cows. The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a thinoceros (犀牛), a carefully drawn dead man, a wounded bison and a bird.

Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? Did the drawings call upon some magical power? Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck? There is one thing the paintings seem to tell us. The Cro- Magnons were interested in the world. They looked at beauty and they understood it.

【1】The author uses the word "you" in the first paragraph to _____.

A. pull the reader into the story

B. make it clear that this is a true story

C. give the reader good directions to find the caves

D. compare present-day readers with the Cro-Magnon people

【2】Most of the drawings in the caves are about _____.

A. boys B. tools C. dead men D. animals

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Cave paintings are beautiful.

B. Who found the beautiful cave paintings.

C. The Lascanx caves hold ancient colorful paintings.

D. Drawings of horses are on the walls of the Lascaux caves.

【题目】阅读理解

As I walked along the Edgware Road, I felt as though the world was closing in on me. All the sounds I take for granted, had gone. I had entered a world of silence. This unsettling experience occurred a few weeks ago when I agreed to go deaf for the day to support the work of the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, for which I am an ambassador.

When I managed to take a cab to the office of my manager, Gavin, I couldnt hear what the taxi driver was saying to me. Conversation was impossible. Then, when I reached the office, I had to ring the intercom five times as I couldnt hear a response.

Everybody said I was shouting at them--- I simply wasnt aware of how loudly I was speaking as I couldnt hear my own voice. Gavin kept telling me my phone was ringing, but I didnt realize. I was too busy trying to concentrate on reading his lips. And when he tried to tell me a code to put into my phone, I had to keep asking him to repeat it, more slowly. Eventually he lost his patience and snapped at me: Just give me the phone! I was shocked.

People couldnt be bothered to repeat themselves, so they kept trying to do things for me that I was perfectly capable of doing myself. I felt Id lost control.

Being deaf for the day was extraordinarily tiring. I had to work so hard to listen with my eyes, get peoples attention and use my other senses to make up for my lack of hearing. It was a huge, exhausting effort.

Until that experience I didnt realize how much I took my own hearing for granted, or the sorts of emotions and experiences deaf people go through. If a deaf person asks you to repeat something, never think: It doesnt matter. It does matter.

【1】Why did the author focus on reading Gavins lips?

A. By doing this he could understand what Gavin was saying.

B. He wanted to be aware of what the code was.

C. He attempted to get the code into the phone by himself.

D. He didnt want to bother Gavin to repeat what he was saying.

【2】What advice does the author give in the passage?

A. Speak at the top of your voice if you cant hear others speaking.

B. Repeat things as slowly as possible for the deaf.

C. Take your own hearing for granted.

D. Do as many things as possible for the deaf.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Its boring to live in a world of silence.

B. The author has to use gestures to communicate with his friends.

C. There are many other ways to help the deaf understand others.

D. Many ordinary people just take hearing for granted until they lose it.

【4】What can be the best title of the passage?

A. Helping the Deaf with More Patience

B. Dont Take Your Hearing for Granted

C. Listening with Eyes

D. The Importance of Reading Lips

Many people believe that that dogs should not be kept in large cities.They say that pet dogs should be banned because they are dangerous to man since they carry diseases and that they attack people especially young children.__ 【1】__ For example,they eat large quantities of food that could go to feed the poor and the starving of the world. What’s more , many people spend large amounts of money on their dogs ,even buying them beds and toys,taking them to doctors when they are sick ,burying them in pet cemeteries when they die. 2_

However I disagree with these arguments.many animals carry diseases than dogs .In fact people carry more diseases than dogs._3_ And if they are it is because they have attacked or frightened the dog. As for money spent on dogs , what people do with their money is their own business..Finally there will always be the poor in the world .

【题目】Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?

Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.

Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia, though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

1It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge

B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information

C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun

D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself

2What does the sentences “Television has not killed reading, however” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?

A. People only need reading, though.

B. Reading is still necessary today.

C. Reading is more fun than television.

D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.

A. Types of books.

B. Kinds of dictionaries.

C. Lists of history books.

D. Collections of stories and poems.
