29、the pre-planted carbomb .The research community (社团) will rightly be alarmed at these developments which have two aims :to draw public attention and to frighten people working in research with animals . The scientists insist that everything should be done to identify those responsible for the crimes
30、 and to put them on trial . The Defense Research Society has taken the practical step of offering a reward of 10，000 for information leading to those responsible , but past experience is not encouraging . People are unlikely to be attracted by such offers . The professional police will similarly be
31、challenged by the problem of finding a needle in a haystack .That is why the intellectual (知识分子) community in Britain and elsewhere must act more strongly in its own defense . There are several steps that can be taken , of which the chief one is to demand of all the organizations that exist with the
32、 declared aims of defending the interests of animals that they should declare clearly where they stand on violence towards people . And it will not be enough for the chairman and chairwoman of these organizations to make placatory (安抚的) statements on behalf of all their members . These people should
33、 also promise that it will be a test of continuing membership in their organizations that members and would-be members should declare that they will take no part in acts of violence against human beings .67The words “these developments” (Linel , Para .2 ) most probably refer to .Athe use of animals
34、in research Bthe acts of violence against scientists Cthe techniques of planting bombs in cars Dsetting up of new animal protection organizations 68Which of the following is true according to the passage ?AThe police gave up their efforts to find the criminals .BThe terrorists escaped with the help
35、of their organization .CThe attempted murder caused great anxiety among British scientists .DPeople supported the animal protectors in spite of their extremist acts .69The authors purpose in writing this article is to demand that animal-protecting organizations .Agive up the use of violence Bdeclare
36、 their aims clearly Ccontinue the dialogue with the scientific community Dhelp to fid those responsible for the attempted murder 70In the authors opinion , .Aanimal-protecting organizations should be declared illegal Bthe scientists should take effective measures to protect themselves Csince people
37、can lie , the problem about eh rights of scientists cant be solved Danimal-protecting organizations should help the police to fight against the acts of violence against scientists ETrees should only be pruned (修剪) when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , he number of such reasons is
38、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 .First , pruning may be done to make sure that trees h
39、ave 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 out diseased or de
40、ad 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 center 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
41、an easy entry for disease , but it is a wound that will heal (愈合) . 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 that risk of death as far as p
42、ossible . It is important to make the area , which has been pruned , smooth and clan , 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 materials available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose .
43、 Pruning is usually done in winter , for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference (妨碍) from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed . If this does happen , it is , of course , impossible to paint them properly .71Why should running be done
44、 ?ATo make the tree grow taller .BTo improve the shape of the tree .Cto get rid of the small ranches .DTo make the small branches thicker .72Trees become unhealthy if the gardener .ATo help a wound to dry .BTo cover a rough surface .Cdamages some of the small side branchesDAllows too many branches t
45、o grow in the middle 73Why is a special material painted on the tree ?ATo help a wound to dry .Bto cover a rough surface .CTo make a wound smooth .DTo prevent disease entering a wound .74A good gardener prunes a tree .Aseveral times throughout the year Bas quickly as possible Coccasionally when nece
46、ssary Dregularly every winter 75What was the authors purpose when writing this passage ?ATo discuss different methods of pruning .BTo introduce some common knowledge of pruning .CTo explain how trees develop disease .DTo give practical instruction for pruning a tree .答案：5660BDACD6165CADCA6670ABCAB7175BDDCB
