New findings add to evidence that the plants are animal-like. Harm
38、er, a professor in the University of California at Davis, Department of Plant Biology, carried out a series of experiments on sunflowers in the field pots outdoors and in indoor growth chambers. By staking plants so that they could not move, Harmer showed that he could destroy their ability to track
39、 the sun. He also noticed that sunflowers prevented from moving were not as tough and leafy as those that were free to move. When plants were moved indoor with a settled overhead light, they continued to swing back and forth for a few days. The indoor plants did start tracking the “sun” again when t
40、he apparent source of lighting was moved across the room. The plants could reliably track the movement and return at night when the artificial day was close to a 24-hour cycle, but not when it was closer to 30 hours. When sunflowers track the sun, the east sides of their stems grew more rapidly than
41、 the west sides. At night, the west sides grew faster as the stem swung the other way. The team identified a number of genes that were expressed at higher levels on the sunward side of the plant during the day, or on the other side at night. A plant growth-regulating hormone, called auxin, appears t
42、o be a key driver. The “dance” to the sun cycle obviously slows when the sunflower matures (成熟) and its flowers open up. At that point, the plants stop moving during the day and settle down facing the sun in the east. “Bees like warm flowers, ” Harmer said, adding that the bees are cold-blooded, so
43、landing on a warm flower saves them energy and perhaps feels really good. “The morning warmth changes the flowers in a way to make them more appealing to insects, perhaps causing them to release more attractive scents earlier in the day, ” he said. “Were currently testing this idea. ”【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,

49、u wish to achieve in retirement, taking any government pensions (退休金) or payments into account.

50、 to retire at about age 30 after nine years of serious savings and low lifestyle expenses. A financial professional can help you determine what kind of timeline is realistic. Do it now: Start immediately. Early retirement becomes an impossible dream for many people simply because they didnt plan for
51、 it early enough. Work a little: For many early retirees, “retirement” doesnt mean the total absence of employment. Its common for people to quit a full-time position but maintain a small business on the side or work part-time at something they love for supplemental income. Do it smarter: Make sure
52、youre ready. Are you really prepared to say goodbye to your working life? Some people get depressed after retiring because they miss the office.

Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women. Many different studies show that men tend
58、 to talk much more than women. It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men; this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. In one study, it was found that w
59、omen spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting, as opposed to the thirteen-minute average it took men to describe it. Men and women also tend to have a very different non-verbal way of communicating, which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite s
60、ex is trying to say. Mens body language is much more reserved when talking to women. Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them. Men avoid other peoples body space while talking, and they also tend to sit back when talking. All of th
61、ese have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom. Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation. Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral. After learn
62、ing about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”? The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost. The question everyone asks hims

64、eed of mens and womens speech. C. The ability of mens and womens spoken language. D. The non-verbal vocabulary of men and women. 【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据第二段可知, 许多不同的研究表明, 男人比女人更爱说话。事实证明, 女性说话速度比男性快。这是由于女性比男性更经常被打断, 而且她们比男性更清楚、更准确、更迅速地说话。由此推知, 此处this指的是男人和女人说话的速度不同。故选B项。33.

65、 according to the third paragraph? A. Speed of understanding. B. Understanding of speech roles. C. Politeness of communication. D. Application of body language. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Men and women also tend to have a very different non-verbal way of communicating”可知, 男人和女人也有一种非常不同的非语言交流方式, 故选D项。34.
66、What is the authors attitude to the differences between mens and womens communication? A. Cautious. B. Favourable. C. Ambiguous. D. Skeptical. 【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After learning about our styles of communicating with each other. . . ”可知, 作者对男女之间的沟通差异是赞同的。故选B项。35. What is the best title for the text
