       Artificial flowers are used for scientific as well as for   decorative purposes (装饰的用处). They are made from a variety of   materials, such as wax (蜡) and glass, so skillfully that they can   scarcely be told from natural flowers. In making such models, skill   and artistry are called for, as well as thorough knowledge of plant   structure. The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of   Harvard University is the most famous in North America and is widely   known throughout the scientific world. In all, there are several   thousand models in colored glass, the work of two artist-naturalists,   Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolph.

       The intention (目的) was to have the collection represent (代表) at   least one member of each flower family native to the United States.   Although it was never completed, it contains more than seven hundred   kinds representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of fruits   showing the effect of fungus (菌类) diseases, and thousands of flower   parts and magnified detail (事情). Every detail of these is accurately   reproduced in color and structure. The models are kept in locked cases   as they are too valuable for classroom use.

(1) Which of the following statements about Leopold and Rudolph   Blaschka is true?

[  ]

A. They were farmers.     

B. They were brothers.

C. They were artists.     

D. They were florist.

(2) Which of the following is not included in the display at Botanical   Museum of Harvard University?

[  ]

A. Several kinds of native birds.

B. Magnified details of flower parts

C. A group of diseased fruits.     

D. Models of 164 families of flowering plants.

(3) The underlined word "it" refers to which of the following phrases?

[  ]

  A. "The collection".  

  B. "One member".  

  C. "Each flower family".

  D. "The intention".

(4) Where in the passage does the author mention the prerequisites   for making artificial flowers?

[  ]

  A. Lines 13-14.     

  B. lines 4-5.

  C. Lines 8-9.     

  D. Lines 11-12.

(5) Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

[  ]

 Can trees talk? Yes——but not in words Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate (互通信息) with each other Not long ago, resear- chers learned some surprising things First a willow tree(柳树)attacked in the woods by caterpillars(毛毛虫)changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that the caterpillars got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special vapour — a signal causing its neighbours to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty

   Communication, of course, doesn't need to be always in words We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar(花蜜)for honey So why shouldn't trees have ways of sending messages?

1 When attacked, a willow tree will protect itself by________

[  ]

A changing its leaveschemistry

B changing its leavescolour

C talking to caterpillars

D sending a special vapour

2 From the passage we know that catrpillars________

[  ]

A like willow trees

B enjoy eating fallen leaves

C feed on willow tree leaves

D could communicate with willow trees

3 Caterpillars will stop eating willow tree leaves which________

[  ]

A have a chemical change and become tasteless

B have a pleasant taste

C are being attacked

D are communicating

4 According to the passage, how do willow trees communicate with each other?

[  ]

A They talk in words

B They send out a special vapour

C They wave their leaves

D They make special sounds

5 According to the passage, bees communicate with each other by______

[  ]

A talking

As Christmas is coming, there are presents to be sent, and rooms to be cleaned. Parents are 1 with difficult jobs of hiding presents from 2 young children. If the gifts are large, this is sometimes a real 3 . On Christmas Eve, young children find the 4 almost unbearable. They are torn between the wish to 5 up late so that they Mil not miss the fun. The wish for gifts usually proves stronger. But though children go to bed early, they often lie 6 in bed for a long time, hoping to get a short 7 at Father Christmas.

Then I 13 in the bike for Jimmy and left it beside the Christmas tree. We know we would not get much 14 that night, for the children were sure to get up early. At about five o'clock the next morning, we were 15 by loud sounds coming from the children's room--they shouted excitedly! 16 I had time to get out of bed, Jimmy came 17 into our bedroom on his new bike and his sister, Mary, 18 close behind, pushing her new baby carriage.
