Young sunflowers turn and swing every day. New findings add to evidence that the plants are animal-like. 21．（6分）
Harmer, a professor in the University of California at Davis, Department of Plant Biology, carried out a series of experiments on sunflowers in the field, in 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 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 the 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 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 (激素), called auxin, appears to 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 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 “We’re currently testing this idea.” 1、Why did Harmer do the experiment on sunflowers? A．To see how sunflowers grow up B．To show what sunflowers’ genes are. C．To study why sunflowers track the sun. D．To check if sunflowers swing in cloudy days.
2、What does the underlined word “staking” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．tracking B．fining C．growing D．searching
3、What is the result of sunflowers being stopped from moving? A．They will produce a number of new genes. B．They will grow faster than usual. C．They won’t swing back though set free. D．They won’t grow well.
4、What is the advantage of sunflowers’ dance to the sun? A．They attract more insects. B．They save more energy. C．They mature more rapidly. D．They produce more flowers.
22．（8分）More than 135,000 UK drinkers will die from cancer caused by alcohol(酒精)by the year 2035, researchers say. Drinking too much will cause 7,100 cancer deaths a year by 2035, a rise of 13 percent on the present rate. A study by Sheffield University and Cancer Research UK shows that alcohol will cost the NHS(National Health Service) ￡53billion over the next ten years including ￡2 billion on cancer.
Although alcohol is known to cause many types of cancer including breast and throat most people don’t realize the relation between alcohol and cancer. A survey of 2,100 Britons by the researchers earlier this year found nine in ten did not associate drinking with cancer. The researchers used a computer model to work out the numbers of alcohol-related cancer deaths, hospital admissions(入院)and total costs to NHS over the next 20 years.
The study shows that a fifth of men and 1 in 10 women have alcohol every day---and many of these are middle-aged and middle class. Researchers are very worried about this group as they believe cancer may be caused by drinking over long periods. The study shows that even if the expense stays as it is, alcohol-related cancer deaths will rise from 6,299 in 2015 to 7,097 in 2034. Alcohol will lead to 891, 299 hospital admissions, up from 802, 118 in 2015, and 65, 005 will be caused by cancer.
Earlier this year Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies studied carefully the alcohol guidelines(指导方针)for the first time in thirty years. She told people there was no safe level of drinking and advised them to drink no more than 14 units a week. But researchers say this guidance isn’t enough and want the government to increase a little price per unit of alcohol.
1、What can we learn from the text?
A．Fewer people will die of cancer in the future B．Alcohol will be the only cause of cancer deaths
C．More and more people will get rid of the habit of drinking D．The computer model can offer researchers useful numbers
2、What does the underlined word “associate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Share B．Compare C．Connect D．Replace
3、The researchers hope the government can __________. A．raise the price of alcohol properly B．remove the nation’s drinking habit
C．improve middle-aged persons’ income D．provide fund for National Health Service 4、What may be the best title for the text?
A．People Having Alcohol Must Suffer from Cancer B．All People Have Known Alcohol May Cause Cancer
C．Researchers Are Trying to Discover the New Causes of Cancer
D．Alcohol will Have Worse Effects on British People over the Coming Years
23．（8分）The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. All she’s ever wanted to do is to become an elementary school teacher. However, Hipp has racked up(累计) $100,000 (about 0.67 million yuan) in student loan debt and isn’t able to earn enough through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server to live anywhere other than home. To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of adults who have been moving back in with their parents or never leaving home in the first place has been growing steadily.
The Pew Research Center recently reported that 2016 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangements of young adults in the US. Until 2016, the most common living arrangement for young adults was to be living in their own property as part of a couple. UBS Financial Services, a Swiss global financial services company, released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn’t want them to leave. The report shows that 74 percent of millennials(千禧一代) get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. Millennials see their parents as peers, friends and mentors（导师）. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said “Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn’t necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest, he said. “They may like living at home and being able to save money.”
He added, “While it has held back household formation and purchases on things, they are probably traveling more and eating out more. I don’t know if it represents a change in moral values, it’s much more common for adult children to live in their parent’s homes because it’s becoming part of the culture.” 1、What’s the purpose of Caitlin Hipp’s story? A．To prove the author’s view. B．To introduce her situation. C．To present the topic.
D．To make readers rethink about the problem.
2、What does the underlined part (Paragraph1) probably refer to? A．live with parents B．live independently C．stay at home D．leave home
3、According to Hoffman, which of the following is true? A．It isn’t necessary for millennials to leave the nest. B．They can spend less money on their daily life. C．Moral values are changing gradually. D．Young adults are living in a different life style. 4、What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Why is the number of the millennial growing steadily?
B．Why has the percentage of adults living with their parents been on the rise? C．Why are parents willing to help fund for young adults?
D．Why do more adults treat their parents as peers, friends and guides?
24．（8分） When a special occasion arrives， a colorful gift bag or a box often finds its way to a doorstep， an office desk or a mailbox． But once in a while， a present arrives at an unexpected moment as a reminder that someone is thinking about us．
Wanda Anderson of Richland， US， remembers such a gift． The rosebushes were finally in full bloom on that day in spring． Seeing roses always brings to mind Wanda's childhood memories． To this young girl， those flowers were a luxury． \"We never had money to buy extra things， so even a tired rose was something to cherish，\" Wanda said．
Nowadays， to have a backyard filled with many different roses is pure enjoyment． Wanda especially loves the very first blooms． Her husband， Dale， devotedly tends the roses and knows this little fact about his wife． So， on this particular morning， he picked the very first flowers of spring， fresh from the garden． But as Dale came back into the house， he was met by a neighbor who had stopped in for a quick visit． As the woman turned to go， Dale graciously （有风度地） handed the roses to her． And even though their visitor insisted she didn't want to take them， she was repeatedly convinced that the flowers were hers to keep． \"I told her I was happy for her to have the roses， but I really wasn't，\" Wanda said， recalling the emotions she was feeling right then．
Seeing her very precious first blooms go out of the door filled her with regret， and a bit of
selfishness． Throughout the rest of the morning， Wanda argued with herself， knowing logically it was \"better to give
than to receive．\" Nevertheless， she wished she could have kept the roses for herself．
Later that day， the couple headed to the post office， where Wanda waited outside in the car． Then， without warning， an older woman suddenly appeared at the car's open window， with a bunch of multicolored roses in her arms． \"These are for you，\" she said， giving the flowers to Wanda． \"They're my first blooms this spring．\" Totally surprised and overwhelmed （不知所措的） Wanda thanked the woman and bent for a moment to inhale （吸入） the ，roses' rich fragrance． When she looked back， the mysterious visitor was gone．
To this day， that \"special delivery\" changed Wanda． Now， her very first blooms always go to someone else， as a reminder that someone is thinking of them． 1、Why does Wanda love roses so much？ ______ A．She thinks that they stand for pure love． B．She was given them often as a child． C．Her husband always sends her roses．
D．She couldn't afford them when she was young． 2、How did Wanda feel after the neighbor left？ ______ A．Worried． C．Satisfied．
B．Upset． D．Relieved．
3、What changed Wanda's opinion of giving gifts？ ______ A．The flowers her husband bought her． B．The gifts her neighbor gave back to her． C．The roses she received from a stranger．
D．A mysterious delivery she got from the post office．
4、Why does Wanda always give away her roses to others now？ ______ A．To show off her beautiful flowers． B．To prove that she isn't selfish． C．To surprise people she loves． D．To show that she's thinking of them．
25．（10分）Years ago, students applying to colleges and universities had to have their applications and personal essays printed out and then “snail-mailed”. Flash forward to today’s world of Facebook, Instagram and WeChat, where photos, videos and mobile phones rule. Fortunately, several new tools are making it easier for college applicants to use technology to show off their personalities, skills and creativity.
ZEEMEE
One of the more popular innovations in college applications is ZeeMee, a free mobile app that allows students to upload personal profiles and videos to create visual resumes. More than 220 colleges and universities offer a ZeeMee option as part of the application process. The video can show the unique creative aspects of the applicants.
THE COALITION LOCKER
Another relatively new tool comes from the Coalition for Access, Affordability and Success, now used by more than 110 member colleges and universities. Among the group’s stated goals are getting students engaged in college prep early and using technology to create a supportive application process that encourages reflection and self-discovery.
Students who sign up for the free platform get access to a digital “locker”, which they can use all through high school to save class papers, artwork, newspaper stories, videos and photos to share with colleges when they eventually apply.
VIDEO — CHAT INTERVIEWS
At some schools, an interview with an admission officer is an important part of the application process. To make it easier, several virtual interviewing tools have popped up, such as a video-based platform from Kira. More than 140 universities worldwide use Kira’s video assessment tool to conduct real-time interviews with prospective students. During the interview, candidates are shown the questions prerecorded by the particular school and must respond in real time by talking into the camera on their laptop or phone. In addition to showing their ability, to speak fluently in English and think on their feet, it helps admission officers determine the “motivation, commitment and drive” of applicants.
UNIQUE SCHOOL TOOLS
Some universities have come up with their own ways to allow students to show their skills and personalities. For example, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, encourages applicants to display their technical abilities and creativity by submitting a “Maker Portfolio” —a written or videotaped description of a project that shows creative and problem-solving skills. While a new app would fit the bill, the project could be anything from an origami design to a potato cannon.
1、Which of the apps give students more guidance from their high school? A．ZEEMEE. B．THE COALITION LOCKER.
C．VIDEO — CHAT INTERVIEWS. D．UNIQUE SCHOOL TOOLS. 2、What does the underlined word “it” in the fourth part of the passage refer to? A．The video interview. B．The description. C．The application. D．The student’s ability.
3、What is the common feature required by colleges and universities according to the passage?
A．Creativity. B．Braveness.
C．Willingness to share. D．Technical ability.
