According to the article, the mayor of the city formally apologized to an enraged professor who delivered a speech at the ceremony that was all but ignored by 20-year-olds in the city. The officials prepared 7,000 seats in a gymnasium where the ceremony was held for the 17,000 twenty-year-olds residing in the city. But most of the seats were empty during the speech. And many of the 20-year-olds who did show up ignored the professor and spoke among themselves or talked on their mobile phones. Some even made a ruckus outside the gymnasium. One 20-year-old who attended the ceremony said youngsters came to the ceremony not to listen to the speech but to see their classmates. The mayor criticized the young generation at a news conference on Tuesday, saying such behavior “is symbolic of the postwar era which failed to nurture healthy character and social intelligence. Personally, I feel people shouldnt generalize the whole generation or the whole era when he criticizes something. But it is also true that the generation gap is getting bigger and bigger regarding the ceremony of Coming-of-Age Day. So far this ceremony has been held with citizens tax money. Many older generations understand this festival as an entrance ceremony of adults world which requires maturity including responsibility, patience, and cooperativeness. Older people tend to be “educational to younger ones, while younger people tend to feel they finally obtain a right to behave freely because they are now adults. Though, ironically, young people have to ask their parents to buy them new clothes for the ceremony. It is about time to change the way we celebrate this festival, I think. The idea of blessing new 20-year-olds is not so bad. But there seems to be some other ways to celebrate more properly. The present way seems to me a little superficial and materialistic. It can provide solutionless arguments between different generations, instead of friendships and respects. Instead of eternally complaining about the youngs behavior at the ceremonies, people should consider how they can make their ceremonies worthier, I feel. 41. When the professor was giving a speech the 20-year-olds are not _. A. talking with each other B. chatting on their mobile phones C. talking with the professor D. making ruckus outside 42. According to the author,_. A. the festival is an entrance ceremony of adults world which requires maturity including responsibility, patience, and cooperativeness B. the younger tend to obtain a right to behave freely because they are now adults C. young people have to ask their parents to buy them new clothes for the ceremonyD. its time to end complaining about the youngs behavior at the ceremonies, and people should consider how to make their ceremonies worthier 43. Whats the best title for the article?A. There Are Solutionless Argument Between Different GenerationsB. Coming-of-Age Ceremony Should Be Much WorthierC. Old People Should Be Educational to Young PeopleD. The Younger Ones BehaviorB “Soon, youre going to have to move out! cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.Roses require a good deal of care, and if it werent for the pleasure they give, it wouldnt be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones, among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. Second, I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I pick tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light. Here I am faced with a painful small decision. To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, Ill think about that tomorrow.44. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?A. A lot of care and the right light.B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.C. Tomato plants grown alongside.D. Cages placed around the roots.45. The writer planted the tomato because_A. it cost only $1.25B. the soil were just right for itC. there was room for it in the gardenD. the roses branches needed to be covered46. This year the writers roses were _A. removed from the rose bedB. picked along with the tomatoesC. mostly damaged by too much sunlightD. largely hidden under the tomato plant47. By saying “the prize so dearly won in paragraph 5, the writer wants to _A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoesB. show the hardship of growing the rosesC. express her liking for the rosesD. express her care for the tomatoes48. In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that _A. the roses cost the writer little money B. the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoesC. someone will help the writer make the decisionD. the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes C 1. The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before. Changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science. 2. Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe. It has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life. 3. The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings; in pure sciencea wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science- a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment. 4. Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals. 5. William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together. The above brief review the ap
