27、   Flowers make people happy.And while that might seem obvious，there hasn’t been much research to prove the point until now.

Some new studies by Rutgers University scientists support the idea strongly，and the experts go on to assume that flowers have flourished on this planet，with their beauty evolving in recent thousands of years，partly because humans are so attached to them.

In a test，bunches of flowers were sent by florists to 113 men and women in a retirement community.All 113 got flowers and a notebook，but some got them earlier and received a second bunch when the others got theirs.By now you can guess the outcome.The more flowers，the more smiles.

The results of the studies got the scientists to thinking about how the flower industry of today has evolved into growing things that serve no other purpose than emotional(情感上的) satisfaction.Nature won’t even pollinate(授粉) many of the domesticated flowers.Just among roses，there are so many types created by humans that，clearly，flowers aren’t what they used to be.But it’s likely that our collective hand has played a role longer than you might think.

Geneticist(遗传学家) Terry McGuire suggests that nature’s prettier flowers got to survive and develop well because people didn’t destroy them when they cleared for agriculture.Instead，they grew them and have been doing so for over 5,000 years.“Because they’re a source of pleasure，we take care of them.In that sense they’re like dogs.They are the pets of the plant world，” McGuire says.

Here is one way that might have worked：

“Many species of flowers that are now planted used to grow only when the ground was disturbed，” McGuire explains.“As humans moved into agricultural settings，these flowers would have been weeds.”“These flowers might have been tolerated because of their beauty.The seeds would have been preserved and replanted.Over time，the best of these flowers might have been selected and the seeds more carefully preserved.”

【1】The underlined word “theirs” probably refers to ________.

A.flowers

B.notebooks

C.flowers and notebooks

D.a second bunch of flowers

【2】According to Terry McGuire，one possible way of flower evolution is __________.

a．the most beautiful flowers were chosen

b．people replanted the seeds of the flowers

c．flowers were wild plants at the beginning

d．people protected the prettier flowers while clearing land

A.c，d，b，a B.c，b，d，a

C.c，d，a，b D.c，b，a，d

【3】What is the best title of this passage?

A.More Flowers，More Smiles

B.Flowers：Pets of Plant World

C.Human’s Affection & Flowers’ Evolution

D.Human’s Love Towards Flowers

28、No rows of desks in this classroom, and no teacher lecturing at the front. In fact, that’s something Barrie teacher Liz Collett rarely does. Instead, she’s on the move, talking to students about their work, from the small group sitting on the floor playing games to others nearby figuring out a math problem.

The children in this class do not take a spelling test all year－in fact, the school avoids all pencil-and-paper tests－nor do they get assigned homework. Instead, their teacher gives them immediate feedback（反馈）on their work throughout the day.

Welcome to the school of the 21st century, a place where teachers and students cooperate all the time. Such advanced classrooms are trying things, which some might consider as coddling kids－letting students give a voice-recorded essay instead of a written one or even allowing teens to design their own courses.

Though some people blame（谴责）schools for dumbing things down（降低教育标准）, others will say such changes are actually based on the newest research on how to attract today’s youth and increase not only their interests, but also their achievements. Many of today’s school are not holding kid’s interests. And if they Ye not interested, they’re not learning－and isn’t that the point?

“Students today say they want their education to be useful and valuable, and don’t want it to be simply repeating the facts. That’s the kind of learning that be happening for many kids,” says Penny Milton, a researcher. “What we could argue is that to become good learners, they need to become thinkers.”

Jan Olson, anther researcher, says schools have been operating the same way since the Industrial Revolution. But the digital age is bringing an education revolution. While using technology is a part of it, what’s important for students is being able to use information and understand it, not just remembering it.

Today’s learner needs fewer traditional tests and more “effective” feedback, ongoing discussion with a teacher, which studies have found is the number one factor in Improving achievement.

【1】The first two paragraphs are used to   .

A. blame Liz for not being responsible for her work

B. describe what schools are like in the 21st century

C. give an example of a successful school lesson

D. question whether it is right not to assign homework

【2】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means “some people may think it as a way of ”

A. spoiling children

B. making children become lazy

C. leading children to make mistakes

D. caring about children

【3】Jan Olson thinks it important for students to   .

A. repeat the facts without really thinking

B. learn something related to technology

C. make full use of information

D. use technology to improve their grades

【4】Which is the most effective way to help students achieve more?

A. Assigning more homework

B. Offering immediate answers.

C. Giving more pencil and paper tests.

D. Holding more discussions with them.

29、My folks bought their first house in the early 1940s after Dad got a better job in Marquette, Michigan. We lived just inside the city limits in what was still a rural area.

In the spring of 1948, when I was 6 years old, my parents bought a calf（小牛）to replace our cow, which had been killed the year before. So one day we drove to a local farm and returned with a white and brown calf we named Tubby.

We didn’t own a truck, so Tubby rode home in the backseat of Dad’s car with my 9-year-old brother, Steve, and me. As you can imagine, the trip was a lot of fun for us kids.

Later that summer, Mom thought it would be cute to take a picture of me sitting on Tubby’s back. All went well until the snap of the camera shutter sent Tubby charging off on a run, with me holding on for dear life.

I lasted for about 30 feet before I hit the ground. Mom was quick enough to shoot a follow-up picture, so we had photos of me both on and off Tubby!

When summer had passed, the day arrived for poor Tubby to fill our freezer. I must have been somewhere else with my Mom on the fateful day, because I have no memory of how it happened. All I knew was that the barn was empty, and that we had plenty of meat for dinners.

I hadn’t lived on a farm like my mother, so I didn’t understand that what happened to Tubby was not unusual. Livestock aren’t meant to be pets, and most farm kids know and accept that truth.

Whenever we had beef for dinner, I would tearfully, “Is this Tubby?” This went on for a couple of weeks until Dad had finally had enough and declared, “No more cows!” That made me feel a little better about poor Tubby.

【1】The writer’s parents bought Tubby so that ____.

A. the family would have enough meat to eat

B. It would provide their children with milk.

C. they would have more cows in the future

D. they would no longer feel lonely on the farm.

【2】Which word can be used to describe the author’s mom?

A. Serious.   B. Strong-willed.

C. Careless.   D. Quick-minded.

【3】We learn from the passage that _____.

A. Steve was not so fond of Tubby as his younger brother.

B. the author’s mom thought it natural to kill a cow for meat.

C. the author had much trouble with Tubby in the summer.

D. the author was pleased to see their freezer filled with beef.

【4】We can most probably read the text above in a website on ____.

A. pets   B. education

C. diet   D. animals
