24、   Spring is here, the colourful flowers are seen everywhere but it is a pity that many of us are not able to smell them while enjoying the colourful flowers.

Growing levels of air pollution from the factories and cars have reduced flower fragrances(芳香) by up to 90 percent in the US, compared with pre-industrial levels 100 years ago.

But if the trend is simply unpleasant for human noses, it may be life-dangerous for bees and butterflies.

Many insects find flowers by following the scent produced by those flowers.

The increasing pollution makes it difficult for them to find the flowers and feed on their nectar (花蜜).

Scientists have already found that flowers produce scent molecules (气味分子) that mix with polluted things, which breaks down the plants’ sweet smell.

With more pollution in the air, the scent molecules don’t remain powerful as long and travel shorter distances on the wind. In the mid-19th century, when pollution levels were first recorded, scent molecules would have been able to travel some 1,000 to 1,200 meters. Today, in the polluted air of large cities, scents may only make it some 200 to 300 meters.

Also, pollution from polluted air may fool the bee’s “nose”, making their search for flowers all the more difficult.

In a paper published recently in Scientific Reports, scientists said that the nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in polluted air could change many chemicals that work together to give a flower its special smell.

“This”, researchers said, “could prevent honeybees from reaching their flowers and prevent the pollination (授粉) of some of the world’s food crops.” Or, this could put in danger agricultural harvests worldwide.

But the bees seem to have learned to get used to the changing world. “In nature honeybees use their special eyes and flower smell to find out where a flower is for the first time,” the researchers said.

【1】According to the article, researchers have recently found that ________.

A.reduced flower fragrances have resulted in the dying out of many bees and butterflies

B.reduced flower fragrances are connected to growing levels of air pollution

C.polluted things in the air prevent flowers from producing scent molecules

D.flowers today can’t produce enough nectar because of air pollution

【2】What do the underlined words “the trend” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)?

A.Increasing air pollution.

B.Reduce flower fragrances.

C.Human beings’ worse sense of smell.

D.A growing number of power plants and cars.

【3】The scent molecules a plant produces are mainly to ________.

A.help flowers to produce nectar B.prevent insects from eating the plant

C.draw attention from bees and butterflies D.clear up polluted things in the air

【4】We can infer (推断) from the article that ________.

A.future food crops won’t depend on bees to complete their pollination

B.bees have great advantages in their senses compared to humans

C.world food crop production is likely to fall greatly in the near future

D.some bees have successfully get over the challenge of reduced flowers fragrance

26、   I love my Blackberry mobile phone – it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. However, I know there are times when I need to move away from these things and truly communicate with others.

I teach a course called History Matters in college. My goals for the class include a deep discussion of historical subjects and ideas. Because I want students to fully study the material and discuss with each other in the classroom, I have a rule – no computers, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule, some of them were not happy.

Most students think my reasons for this rule include negative experiences in the past when students made wrong use of technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. I’ve seldom had students make wrong use of technology in my classes; however, I have been e-mailed by students while they were in other teachers’ classrooms.

Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. As I noted above, I love technology and try to keep up with it.

The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions (中断) by technology often break students’ thoughts and make them depend too much on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep in themselves for ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.

I have been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations (评价) show student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize with deep conversation and difficult tasks, they learn at a deeper level – a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.

I am not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I will continue my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.

【1】The writer’s rule for his History Matters class is ____.

A.discussing historical ideas deeply

B.studying and discussing the materials

C.leaving technology out of the classroom

D.making right use of technology in class

【2】The word “negative” in Paragraph 3 means ____.

A.similar B.unforgettable C.special D.unpleasant

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.Students make right use of technology in other teachers’ classes.

B.The classroom is one of the good places to have deep conversations.

C.The writer encourages students to agree with others after discussion.

D.Students are unhappy with the writer’s way of teaching history.

【4】The writer wants to tell us that ____.

A.technology has different influences in different classes in college

B.technology makes it difficult to have true communication in class

C.history classes can help students to develop their deep thinking

D.it is time for him to give up his teaching method in history class

27、   When I was young, I hated my mother because she worked a lot and didn’t spend much time with me. Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life. About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad that I made so many friends there.

On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice. This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something rather than complaining(抱怨).

A girl stood up and started talking about how her mom was a drug addict (吸毒成瘾者) and how much she hated her mother. “I want a new mom,” she cried.“Unluckily, you can’t have one,” the leader said.“You have to accept the mother that you have.”This hit me hard. I knew that, for better or worse, my mom was my mom. I couldn’t choose another mom, but I could try to make the best of the situation.

【1】The writer didn’t like his mother when he was young because ________.

A. she didn’t love him B. she was too strict with him

C. she was too busy to be with him D. she was a drug addict

【2】The program for teenagers that the writer took part in lasted （持续）________.

A. a week B. three days C. two days D. only one day

【3】The writer started to change his thinking ________.

A. before he took part in the program B. during the first two days of the program

C. as soon as he came to the program D. after the exercise named “Chocolate or Toys”

【4】From the end of the passage, we can infer (推断) that ________.

A. the writer loves his father

B. the writer’s mom is a bad person

C. the writer’s mom loves her son

D. the writer will try to get along well with his mother

【5】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Choices can be made as we like.

B. Everyone should take part in a self-help program.

C. Chocolate can change one’s mind to things.

D. We should try to accept things instead of complaining about them.
