The art of growing dwarf trees，or"bonsai"（盆景）as their Japanese planters call them，is increasing in popularity in the United States．Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them．（36）B
In growing bonsai，in fact，one must be careful in choosing the type of tree，as the growing conditions are unusual（37）GVarieties of pines with small needles and hardwood trunks are especially suitable．（38）AThis is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined（被限制） to the tree's trunk and leaves，not its root system-a process quite unlike what is done with other plants．Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is to trim （修整） the roots and branches of the tree periodically （定期地）．Unless this is done，the plants will not have the proper proportions（比例） and will look unnatural．（39）FThe last thing one must do is to be careful to keep the tree well-watered．Because bonsai are grown in smaller-than-usual containers，they often need more water than ordinary houseplants do．
As can be seen from the above，the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort．（40）EImagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family．That is exactly what bonsai-growing is all about：establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world．

A．Then one must be careful in choosing the size of the container．
B．How can we meet the goal of making such a kind of art？
C．Why do so many people take a fancy to the art of bonsai-growing．
D．But one must get well prepared before starting bonsai-growing．
E．The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings can be great，however．
F．The ideal for bonsai plants are trees just like normal trees in everything but size．
G．Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai．

Once upon a time there was a boy who fond of reading．However，he was very poor to buy any books．That was the reason that he had to borrow books from a rich man who had a lot of books．The boy knew clearly that he has to finish reading the books he had borrowed and return it to the owner as soon as possible．A rich man，which was ready to lend any of his books to the boy，read few of his own books．With time going on，the boy read a lot but finally became a famous writer in his time．Though the rich man had so many book，he remained a man with little knowledge because of he seldom read his books．
6．A higher reading rate，with no loss of comprehension，will help you in other subjects as well as in English，and the general principles apply to any language．Naturally，you will not read every book at the same speed．You would expect to read a newspaper，for example，much faster than a physics or economics textbook-but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with．
The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction．They are all about five hundred words long．They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge．Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel．If you read this kind of English，with understanding at four hundred words per minute，you might skim （浏览） through a newspaper at perhaps 650-700，while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty．
Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved．Tests in Minnesota，USA，for example，have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty，for example，Tolstoy's War and Peace in translation，at speeds of between 240and 250words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension．Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons，once a week，the reading speed can be increased，with no loss of comprehension，to around five hundred words per minute．

32．According to the passage，the purpose of effective（有效的）reading with higher speed is most likely to help youC．
A．read a physics textbook only
B．improve your understanding of an economics textbook
C．study not only English but also other subjects
D．choose the suitable materials for you to practise reading
33．Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph？A
A．Those beyond one's reading comprehension．
B．Those concerned with common knowledge．
C．Those concerned with specialized knowledge．
D．Those with the length of about five hundred words．
34．The average speed of untrained native speakers in the University of Minnesota isB．
A．about 300words per minute
B．about 245words per minute
C．about 650-700words per minute
D．about 500words per minute
35．According to the passage，how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota？D
A．You can increase your reading speed by three times．
B．No real increase in reading speed can be achieved．
C．Yon can increase your reading speed by four times．
D．You can double your reading speed．
13．Kids need to get moving!
It's a back-to-school season，which is also a period of time parents decide on extracurricular activities for their kids．Will it be swimming lessons？Hockey？Cooking classes？The possibilities are endless and our courses&Programs section of our website is filled with information about various actibities．
But in addition to a glee club or dance classes，try to make sure your kids have some free time so they can go outside and run around．Canadian children are not nearly as active as they should be and parents are largely responsible，according to Particip ACTION，a famous national health organization．At least part of the reason is what the organization refers to as"the protection paradox（悖论）．"
The organization suggests that parents start to loosen the reins（缰绳）．Kids will be more active when they're outside and have the freedom to take risks．Yes，your kid may get injured，but a study shows most injuries are relatively minor-major injures are rare．And stranger danger isn't so big a problem as you think．The chances of a child being abducted（诱拐）by a total stranger are about one in 14million．
Throughout the Course&Programs section of our website，we've included plenty of articles and local information to help make sure your kids get enough healthy exercise and other activities that will help them develop their artistic skills．We hope that whichever you choose，it will involve physical activity for your kids．

D．To teach kids how to deal with a stranger．
3．语法填空 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式．
No one knows for sure when a fire will happen，so it is （1）extremely （extreme） necessary to make preparations before a fire starts．Check the fire escape in advance and make sure that you can find （2）it in the dark when lights have failed．Find out （3）where the nearest fire extinguisher（灭火器） is and read the instructions to learn how （4）to use （use） it．

In short，if you make preparations before hand and take precautions（预防措施） during the fire，chances are that （10）you will survive in case of a fire if it really breaks out some day．
10．Here are some of the world's most impressive subways（地铁）．
The Tokyo
Metro and
Toei Lines		Features：The Tokyo Metro and Toei lines that compose Tokyo's massive（庞大的） subway system carry almost 8 million people each day，making it the busiest system in the world．The system is famous for its oshiya---literally，"pusher"---who shove passengers into crowded subway cars so the doors can close．And you think your commute（上下班路程） is hell．
The Moscow Metro
 		Features：The Moscow Metro has some of the most beautiful stations in the world．The best of them were built during the Stalinist era and feature chandeliers（枝形吊灯），marble moldings and elaborate murals（精美的壁画）．With more than 7 million riders a day，keeping all that marble clean has got to be a burden．
The Hong
Kong Metro
 		Features：The Hong Kong MTR has the distinction of being one of the few subway systems in the world that act ually turns a profit．It's privately owned and uses real estate development along its tracks to increase income and ridership．It also introduced"Octopus cards"that allow people to not only pay their fares electronically，but buy stuff at convenience stores，supermarkets，restaurants and even parking meters．It's estimated that 95% of all adults in Hong Kong own an Octopus card．
Shanghai Metro
 		Features：Shanghai is the third city in China to build a metro system，and it has become the country's largest in the 12 years since it opened．Shanghai Metro has 142 miles of track and plans to add another 180 miles within five years．By that point，it would be three times larger than Chicago"L"．The system carries about 2.18 million people a day．
The London
Metro		Features：Londoners call their subway the Underground，even though 55 percent of it lies above ground．No matter when you've got the oldest mass-transit system in the world，you can call it anything you like．Trains started in1863 and they've been running ever since．Some 3 million people ride each day，e very one of them remembering to"Mind the gap"．

7．Cutting trees in half can help scientists understand the past and now it appears it can be used to predict the future．Researchers have been looking at ring growth from trees to make sense of past weather patterns such as droughts and rain．
    Combining data from the rings allowed them to create a copy of pictures of climate changes over the past 2，000 years and this information could also be used to foresee future famine（饥荒），unrest and conflict．The project has been named Old World Drought Atlas，or OWDA．
     Its main author，Columbia biologist Edward Cook，has already carried out similar projects using trees to create chronological（按顺序排列的） maps of drought  in Asia and North-America．He believes that combining the three atlases could throw light on the global causes of drought and climate change．
     The study，for instance，gave special attention to the importance of one of such causes，the North Atlantic Oscillation（涛动），in affecting climate patterns in Europe，and specifically in making Europe wetter north of the Alps and drier south of them．
     The OWDA also helped analyse historical events from a climatic perspective．For  instance，the 1740-174l famine in Ireland had so far been explained by an unusually cold winter and spring，but the atlas shows that unusually low rainfall over the spring and summer of 1741 could also have played a role．Finally this made growing food nearly impossible and caused a continent-wide famine．
      A better grasp of these processes could even make it possible to predict future  famine，unrest and conflict．
      Cook said，64The Old World Drought Atlas fills a major geographic gap in the data that's important to determine patterns of climate changes in time．That's important for understanding causes of many droughts，and it's important for climate modelers to test hypotheses（偎说）  of climate forcing and change．
  
32．Why is ring growth useful in research？B
A．It's the best way to understand the past．
B．It could be used to predict the future．
C．It could be used to prevent the outbreak of droughts and rain．
D．It isn't mentioned in the passage．
33．People worldwide can read chronological maps of droughtA．
A．in Asia
B．in Africa
C．in Europe
D．in South America
34．What is the author's attitude toward the study of OWDA？C
A．Positive．
B．Negative．
C．Objective．
D．Conservative．
35．Why did the author of the passage mention what Cook said？B
A．To show he interviewed Cook himself．
B．To tell us the importance of OWDA．
C．To compare climate variability．
D．To analyse how to predict droughts．
8．I have never seen such a boy ________________ Tom．（　　）
