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 wont even pollinate(授粉)many of the domesticated flowers.Just among roses,there are so many types created by humans that,clearly,flowers arent what they used to be.But its likely our collective hand has played a role longer than you might think.Geneticist(遗传学家)Terry McGuire suggests that natures prettier flowers got to survive and develop well because people didnt destroy them when they cleared for agriculture.Instead,they grew them and have been doing so for over 5,000 years.“Because theyre a source of pleasure,we take care of them.In that sense theyre 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 means _.Aflowers Bnotebooks Cflowers and notebooks Da second bunch of flowers 2、Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?AWe keep dogs because they make us happy.BPeople grow flowers for thousands of years.CThe more flowers people get,the happier they are.DPeople left all the flowers alive when clearing land.3、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 Ac,d,b,a,Bc,b,d,a Cc,d,a,b Dc,b,a,d 4、What is the best title of this passage?AMore Flowers,More Smiles BFlowers:Pets of Plant World CHumans Affection&Flowers Evolution DHumans Love Towards Flowers 22（8 分）Disney World is a very popular attraction.But going there can be costly.Here are some suggestions that can help you save money.Instead of eating at the park,get premade food from a nearby grocery store or even make your own lunch.Also,make sure to take your own water with you because spending$3 on water will make your stomach hurt.Another idea is to pack snacks or quick and cheap pick-me-ups as you make your way around the park.Of course youre going to want to take some Disney souvenirs home with you,but youll quickly realize that it comes with a price.Before buying anything,make sure you have a plan.Some suggestions for keeping costs down include picking your own pearl at the Japan store at Epcot,which is all about the experience and only$15.95 plus tax,or even getting special tradable collection pin that you can trade with Disney cast members or other guests.When you go to Disney World on rainy days,you may catch a lot of showers.But you dont have to.Go to a local Dollar Tree and buy disposable ponchos（一次性雨披）for$1.The ponchos at Disney are probably more durable（耐用的）,but they cost$9.For a family of five,the Disney ponchos would cost$45 versus spending$5 at the dollar store.It costs$17 to park in Disney for a day.Luckily,most non-Disney resorts offer free shuttles（来往的班车）to and from the park and all Disney resorts offer free transportation for guests as well.If you like to be on your own schedule without worrying about when the shuttle comes,then parking is your only choice.But waiting for the shuttle and going by a schedule isnt really difficult,either.1、According to the author,if you want to eat at Disney World,you can _.Ajust take pick-me-ups to save money Bget premade food at Disney World Cavoid food that stimulates your appetite Dprepare food before entering the park 2、What does the author think of buying pearl at the Japan store at Epcot?AIt can be a terrible experience.BIt enables one to get pearl at a reasonable price.CIts a good way to find a tradable collection.DIts the best way to get Disney souvenirs.3、If you buy four ponchos at a local Dollar tree instead of at Disney,you can save _.A$32 B$36 C$40 D$45 4、The author thinks it is advisable to _.Apark in Disney World for a day Bavoid going to Disney World on rainy days Cuse more durable ponchos at Disney World Duse transportation offered by the resorts 23（8 分）The one thing everyone loves to hate when it comes to the Internetthe user passwordis under fire now.Actually,its been under fire for a long time.In an ideal world,people would use a long string composed of completely random characters,numbers and symbols.Furthermore,a unique password would be used for every site or application the user uses.Unfortunately,the more complex the passwords become,the more people are likely to forget them.The longer the passwords are,the more easily forgotten they are.Therefore,people use the same password for every service or application.It is a no-no and extremely defeats the purpose of a password.Google is trying to kill off the user password,at least on Android devices by introducing the Trust API,which does what simple passwords cannot.It gives developers a framework for securing their applications using a number of security system and metrics(衡量标准)on the device.A Trust Score will be generated based on the metrics the device gathers and will allow or deny access to applications based on whether or not your Trust Score is high enough.The Trust Score will be generated based on metrics like your device location,face scanning and fingerprint,and the things like your typing speed or the way you speak.Taken one at a time,these metrics are not secure.But taken together,these metrics will help define the real“you”.Passwords have been around since the dawn of computing and although the security of systems has been improved,they haven9t done much to improve the usability of systems.Google appears to have the best of both worldsa highly secure system that end users won even notice.Maybe that never-ending conflict between security and convenience will be able to take a break once the trust system comes out.1、Why are passwords severely criticized?AThey cant protect users against all threats.BResetting them needs much time and effort.CThey arent suitable for the forgetful people.DIfs difficult to get both convenience and safety.2、How can the Trust API become secure enough?ABy combining various metrics together.BBy locking users private information.CBy providing users with Trust Scores.DBy changing users identity recognition ways.3、What can we know about the trust system?AIt hasnt been proved to be effective.BIt is widely used in many fields.CIt may make passwords out of use.DIt needs to be improved from now on.4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AArent Passwords Very Complex?BIs the Trust API Just Pie in the Sky?CWhat Can the Trust API Bring Users?DWill Passwords Soon Be a Thing of the Past?24（8 分）My grandmother Rosalind Einhorn was born exactly fifty-two years before I was,on August 28,1917.Like many poor Jewish families in New York City,hers lived in a small,crowded apartment close to their relatives.Her parents,aunts,and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names,but she and her sister were referred to only as“Girlie”.During the Depression my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit.No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school.A boys edocation was the familys hope to move up the financial and social ladder.Education for girls,however,was less significant both financially,since they were unlikely to contribute to the familys income,and culturally,since boys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a“proper home?!”Luckily for my grandmother,a local teacher insisted that her parents put her back into school.She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U.C Berkeley.After college,“Girlie”worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at Davids Fifth Avenue.When she left her job to marry my grandfather,Davids had to hire four people to replace her.Years later,when my grandfathers paint business was struggling,she jumped in and looked some of the hard steps he was reluctant to take,helping to save the family from financial ruin.She displayed her business ability again in her forties.After being diagnosed(诊断)with breast cancer,she beat it and then devoted herself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches.Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy.I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than my grandmother.When my grandmother had children of her ownmy mother and her two brothersshe emphasized education for all of them.My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania.When she graduated in 1965 with a degree in French literature,she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women:teaching or nursing.She chose teaching.She began a Ph.Dprogramme,got married,and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me.It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wifes help to support their family,so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer.The centuries-old division of labour stood.Even though I grew up in a traditional home,my parents had the same expectations for me.My sister,and my brother,all three of us were encouraged to do well in school,do equal routine tasks,and participate in after-school activities.We were all supposed to be athletic too.My brother and sister joined sports teams,but I was the kid who got picked last in gym.Despite my athletic shortcomings,I was raised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987,my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics.I dont remember thinking about my future career differently from the male students.I also dont remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children.My friends and I assumed that we would have both.Men and women competed openly and aggressively with one another in classes,activities,and job interviews.Just two generations removed from my grandmother,the playing field seemed to be level.But more than twenty years after my college graduation,the world has not evolved nearly as much as I believed it would.Almost all of my male classmates work in professional settings.Some of my female classmates work full-time or part-time outside the home,and just as many are stay-at-home mothers and volunteers like my mom.This mirrors the national trend.In comparison to their male counterparts(相同能力者),highly trained women are scaling back and dropping out of the workforce in high numbers.1、Why were the writers grandma and her sisters called“Girlie”?AThey had not yet got their given nams.BThey were highly valued by their ciders.CThey shared apparent similarities in many ways.DThey were regarded as less important than boys.2、From Paragraph 2 we can mainly learn _.Ahow people suffered during the Depression Bwhat res
