25、nical problems with the tunnelB. “Soon, youre going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of
26、other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.Roses require a good deal of care, and if it werent for the pleasure they give, it wouldnt be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly wo
27、ody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with
28、full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means
29、 I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already ye
30、llow for lack of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, Ill think about th
31、at tomorrow.40What ate the requirements for the healthy growth of roses ? AA lot of care and the right soil. BFrequent pruning and fertilizing. CTomato plants grown alongside. DCages placed around the roots.41The writer planted the tomato because _. Ait cost only $1.25 Bthe soil was just right for i
32、t Cthere was room for it in the garden Dthe roses branches needed to be covered42This year the writers roses were _. Aremoved from the rose bed Bpicked along with the tomatoes Cmostly damaged by too much sunlight Dlargely hidden under the tomato plant43By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragrap
33、h 5, the writer wants to _. Ashow the difficulty in picking the tomatoes Bshow the hardship of growing the roses Cexpress her liking for the roses Dexpress her care for the tomatoes44In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that _. Athe roses cost the writer little money Bthe writer
34、 has a daily harvest of tomatoes Csomeone will help the writer make the decision Dthe writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoesCThe “Bystander Apathy Effect” was first studied by researchers in New York after neighbours ignoredand in some cases turned up the volume on their TVsthe cries of a
35、woman as she was murdered(over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficulty generally, they found that:(1) women are helped more than men;(2) men help more than women;(3) attractive women are helped more than unattractive women. Other factors relate to the number of people in the
36、area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to help. According to Adrian Furnham, Professor 0f University College, London, there are three reasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing:(1) “Shifting of responsibility”一
37、the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given. Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people there are, the greater the total shifting of responsibility.(2) “Fear of making a mistake一situations are often not clear. People think that t
38、hose involved in an accident may know each other or it may be a joke, so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep themselves to themselves.(3) “Fear of the consequences if attention is turned on you, and the person is violent.” Laurie Taylor, Professor of Sociology at London University, says: “In the
39、 experiments Ive seen on intervention(介入), much depends on the neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening, while in a football match, people get involved, and a fight would easily follow.
40、 ” Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of the individual: “The British as a whole have some difficulty intervening, but there are exceptional individuals in every group who are prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety: These would be people with a strong moral code or r
41、eligious ideals.”45. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Pretty women are more likely to be helped. B. People on a bus are more likely to stop a crime. C. Religious people are more likely to look on. D. Criminals are more likely to harml women. 46. Which phenomenon

Seeing a murder, people feel sorry that it should have happened. D. On hearing a cry for help, people keep themselves to themselves
43、. 47. The author wrote this article _. A. to explain why bystanders behave as they doB. to urge people to stand out when in needC. to criticize the selfishness of bystandersD. to analyze the weakness of human nature DAbout 90 percent of Chinese believe the polarization(分化) between the rich and poor
44、is “serious” in China, according to a survey conducted by China Youth Daily. And more than 80 percent of the respondents(对象) surveyed said something must be done to narrow the expanding gap between the rich and poor, while 14.1 percent said it was necessary.The polarization has aroused wide concern
45、among the public in recent years. The State Development and Reform Commission(国家发改委) said the Gini Coefficient had reached 0.47 for China, up from o.29 two decades ago. Usually, a country with a number above 0.4 is warned to pay attention to the income inequality problem.To find out the peoples view
46、, the survey covered 10,250 respondents, between the ages of 20 and 30 with a college education and a monthly salary between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan. Surprisingly, most disagreed with the view of experts who claim the urban-rural difference is causing the widening gap. More than 70 percent of the respo
47、ndents believed that “ the group of special interests” is the prime reason for the polarization, followed by “people in power” 68 percent, and “bosses” 50 percent.Another unexpected finding is that almost all agreed that a good educational background and knowledge were not the decisive factors in ga
48、ining wealth. About 95 percent said rich people are not necessarily those who are able to speak English or have a college education.Today in China, rich people , accounting for 10 percent of the population, control 45 percent of the total social fortune, and poor people, also 10 percent of the popul
49、ation, only control 1.5 percent, according to an investigation published by the National Bureau of Statistics last June.48.

51、of the social fortune among population?51. Whats the best title of the passage? A. Close the Gap between the Rich and Poor B. Surveys conducted by Chins Youth Daily C. Higher education, Higher pay D. Rich-Poor Divide Serious, Study FindsEVisitors from space may have landed on our planet dozens, even
52、 hundreds of times during the long, empty ages while Man was still a dream of the distant future. Indeed, they could have landed on 90% of the earth as recently as two or three hundred years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and local records, one can f
53、ind many reports of strange incidents that could be interpreted(解释) as visits from outer space. A winter, Charles Fort, had made a collection of UFO sightings in his book. One is tempted(引诱) to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had
54、 ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one cant take them too seriously, for before scientific education was widespread, even sightings of meteors(流星) and comets(慧星) gave rise to the most unbelievable stories, as they still do today.52. According to the passage visitors from space may
55、have landed on the earth _. A. long before man had dreamed of it B. long before there were human beings C. in the last few hundred years D. after the space age began53.
