24、   We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process (过程) is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant (连续的) darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”.

This discovery (发现) may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals —including man —have this “inner clock” which controls the working of their bodies and influences (影响) their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.

In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very useful, then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.

【1】A recent experiment showed that ________________.

A.different flowers open and close at different times of day

B.for their opening and closing, flowers do not need information from the outside world

C.flowers are influenced by weak light even when they are in a dark room

D.flowers can be used for telling the time

【2】The “inner clock” _________________________.

A.is an unimportant discovery B.is only found in animals

C.has not been understood by far D.has an effect on human life

【3】Further study of the “inner clock” will be useful because ________________.

A.it might help us in some way

B.we do not yet understand plants and animals well enough

C.the number of spacemen and airplane pilots is fast increasing

D.we should try to live more naturally than we do now

【4】Kept in constant darkness, flowers ________________________.

A.will not open or close as usual B.will not open any longer

C.will open as they do in natural conditions D.will always remain in full blossom (开花)

【5】________________ have a mysterious power of knowing time without information from the outside world.

A.Animals including man as well as plants B.All living things except man

C.Flowers are the only things in the world that D.Neither animals nor plants

25、Many people share their lives with animals. The animals are their pets (宠物) and also their beloved friends. Some even treat pets as their children. For most pet owners (主人), losing a pet is very much like losing a child, and that makes saying goodbye to the pet very difficult.

I work in an animal hospital and help people with their pets. I also have my experiences (经历) of losing pets—three of my cats died (死亡). So here I want to share with you some ways to deal with pets’ death. I hope the following tips will help you move on in some way.

●Let it out. Let yourself cry (哭) so that you can let out all your negative emotions (消极情绪).

●Talk about it. Spend some time with your family or friends and talk things out.

●Distract(转移) yourself from pain (痛苦). You can take a walk, listen to music, or read your favorite books. You can also just make yourself a good cup of tea.

26、Wanting: I want nothing but music

During the past few months, her name and songs have spread quickly on the Internet, over the radio, and in almost every corner of China. You would be considered totally “out” if you have never heard of her song “Stay in My Song”.

She is a girl full of courage. At only 16, Wanting left home and entered a Canadian school to study business, starting her life in a foreign country alone. Soon，she found that her true passion was music. She went on to get her degree(学位), but also tried her hand at songwriting. She did part-time jobs to keep on her study like many Chinese students who study in foreign countries, but never gave up her dream of being a musician. When the chance came, she bravely introduced herself to the CEO of Nettwerk and became the first Chinese singer-songwriter the company signed in 26 years.

Wanting’s music career started to take off in 2009 when she worked in Nettwerk. In 2011, after hearing the songs she wrote and recorded, the famous Chinese composer Zhang Yadong called her and would like to work with her.

With all the successes she has achieved in China, Wanting is recording her first English album. She is ready to conquer the world.

27、The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.

Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately, this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits（益处） to knowing more than one language.

One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.

Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.

Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.

The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The benefits of learning other languages.

B．The reasons why people come to America.

C．The importance of learning English

D．How to learn another language.

【2】The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to ________.

A．discuss the need for teaching a new language

B．introduce the passage’s main characters to the readers

C．describe the advantages of moving to another country

D．show the problems of speaking only one language

【3】The underlined phrase “multi-language speaker”（Paragraph5）means “people who know ________”

A．their mother language

B．new language

C．more than one language

D．body language

【4】According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can ________.

A．find a better job

B．make more friends

C．better understand history

D．communicate more independently

【5】Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?

A．Not knowing another language.

B．Forgetting one’s mother language

C．Refusing to learn another language.

D．Failing to communicate with others.
