Trees should only be pruned (修剪) when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and  unwanted  branches,  and  the

inexperienced  gardener  can be encouraged by the thought that more damage  results  from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.

Firstly, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.

One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce harm to the trees which have been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.

A. allows too many branches to grow in the middle

B. does not protect them from wind                                    

C..Forces them to grow too quickly      

D. damages some of the small side branches

73. Why is a special substance painted on the tree?

   A. To make a wound smooth  B. To prevent disease from entering a wound

   C. To cover a rough surface.   D. To help a wound to dry.

74. A good gardener prunes a tree_________.

A. at times throughout the year       B. as quickly as possible

   C.occasionally(偶尔) when necessary   D. regularly every winter

75. The best title for the passage may be “_______”.

A. Be careful not to prune trees     B. When to prune trees

C. Trees should be pruned with good reasons and in any cases

D. The pruning of trees

With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save these in a dangerous situation. That's a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called "Noah's Ark".

Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of these animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M's College of Veterinary, Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will probably become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.

"The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, but the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem," Kraemer believes. "They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort," adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A&M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.

"They are trying to do something that's never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah's Ark. We're both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there's a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. The cooperation between us is very much needed."

67. The final aim of "Noah's Ark" project is to___________.       .

A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas 

B. save endangered animals from dying out

C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study 

D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another

68. According to Professor Kraemer, ___________.

A. the long time lasting cloning research could be successful.

B. the eggs transfers immediately result in having a baby.

C. the lack of nuclear transfer could be a major problem to have new pandas.

D. if species should die out, basic building blocks would heal them.

69. The best title for the passage may be______________.

A. China's Success in Pandas Cloning

B. Helping Ways to Avoid Extinction

C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas

D. The Practice in Noah's Ark

70. From the passage we know that______________.

A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a panda

B. scientists try to implant a panda's egg into a rabbit

C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches

D. about two thousand species are to die out in a century

In today’s world, we rely on computers as never before. They are used for everything from ordering a pizza to running hospitals and military defense systems. Banking and credit card information is stored and accessed by computers. So what happens when a computer gets infected with a virus? One effect is that people’s access to their e-mail accounts is cut off. A more serious possible consequence is that billions of dollars could be lost.

A virus is a computer program that copies itself onto other programs and infects them. Similar to an easily spread disease, a computer virus goes from computer to computer, either adding to or changing the tasks a program is designed to do.

The first computer viruses were created in the mid’80s and had varying effects. Some caused files to be deleted, or made the letters on the screen appear to fall off. Others displayed a specific message once the computer was turned on.

Viruses today are much more widespread and dangerous than ever before. Perhaps the most damaging has been the “I Love You” virus. “I Love You” appeared in May 2000 and has possibly been the most destructive virus in terms of monetary loss.

The virus is released（释放） when an attachment（附件） to a fake e-mail message is opened. By changing the names of files on computers, “I Love You” makes them difficult to access. It also searches for important personal information, including passwords, which it sends to a Web site for others to see.

It is estimated that more than 45 million people in 20 countries have had their computers infected by the “I Love You” virus. Some say the cost of repair and lost business has been more than US$10 billion.

If you own a computer, it is important to keep it in good health by installing（安装） an anti-virus program. If updated frequently, it will protect your e-mail access-----not to mention your wallet.

51. What does “virus” mean in the article?

A. An easily spread disease.

B. A contagious (传染的) computer program.

C. An extremely small organism（微生物）which causes disease.

D. A parasite（寄生虫）in computer.

52. How dose “I Love You” virus spread?

A. It is spread when an e-mail account is opened.

B. It is spread through on-line chatting.

C. It is spread through e-mail.

D. It spread from web site to web site.

53. Which of the following is one of the damages brought by “I Love You” virus?

A. It deletes files.

B. It automatically turns on computers.

C. It automatically turns off computers.

D. It makes it difficult to access files.

54. Which of the following is the best way to guard against virus?

A. To load an up-to-date anti-virus program into our computer.

B. Not to use an e-mail account.

C. To upgrade our computer.

D. Not to use the Internet.

55. What is the purpose of the article?

A. To warn us against virus.

B. To remind us the importance of being healthy.

C. To stress the importance of computer.

D. To alert us to economic loss.

 Thanks a lot for the trouble you ______ to help us.

  A. took      B. put      C. made      D. had
