8．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．
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．

12．When others get off the train to finally go home，Leonie Muller slays behind．That's because she is already home：The train is her apartment，and she says she likes it that way．The German college student gave up her apartment in spring．"It all started with an argument I had with my landlord，"Muller told The Washington Post via e-mail．"I immediately decided I want to live there anymore and then I realized：Actually，I didn't want to live anywhere anymore．"
Instead，she bought a subscription （会员费） that allows her to board every train in the country for free．Now，Muller washes her hair in the train bathroom and writes her college papers while traveling at a speed of up to 190mph．She says that she enjoys the freedom since she gave up her apartment．"I really feel at home on trains．It's like being on vacation all the time，"Muller said．
"I want to inspire people to question their habits and the things they consider to be normal，"Muller told The Post．"There are always more opportunities than one thinks there are．The next adventure is waiting just around the comer-provided that you want to find it．"
Muller frequently travels late at night，although she tries to sleep at the apartments of relatives or friends．Often，she is accommodated by her boyfriend，her mother or grandmother．"Normally，we would have to have a long-distance relationship，but living on a train enables me to see him all the time，"Muller told German TV station SWR regarding her boyfriend．"Most of ray friends really like the idea，although some consider it to be quite adventurous．Others，however，have reacted more negatively．They feel offended by the fact that I question the ordinary way of life and living．"
The only problem？"Possessing a headset that reduces most surrounding noises is important，"she said．

28．What do we know about the direct reason for Muller s choice to live on trains？A
A．She had an argument with her landlord．
B．She wanted to visit more people on the way．
C．She had to finish her graduate paper on the topic．
D．She planned to act against tradition．

A．She can have more holidays．
B．She can escape from college life．
C．She can possess a headset．

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．
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．
