二、阅读理解(A) It’s never a real problem for us when the weather gets cold. We can put on more clothes, stay next to a fireplace, turn on the air conditioner or simply travel to a warmer city to spend the winter – people have many different ways of dealing with the cold.
But things are not as easy for plants. Unlike humans, plants can’t move to escape the cold or generate heat ( 发热) to keep themselves warm. So how do they manage to survive the freezing winter?
It turns out that plants have their own strategies (策略)too, said a study published on Dec 22 in the journal
Nature.According to researcher Amy Zanne of George Washington University, US, the cold is a big challenge for plants. Their living tissues(活组织)can be damaged when they freeze. ―It’s like a plant’s equivalent to frostbite ( 相当于冻疮),‖ Zanne told Science Daily. Also, the process of freezing and thawing (解冻)can cause air bubbles(气泡)to form in the plant’s water transport system. ―If enough of these air bubbles come together as water thaws they can block the flow of water from the roots to the leaves and kill the plant,‖ she explained.
To live through cold weather, plants have developed three traits(特性), according to the study. Some plants, such as oak trees(橡树), avoid freezing damage by dropping their leaves before the winter chill sets in – effectively shutting off the flow of water between roots and leaves – and growing new leaves and water transport cells when the warm spring returns. Other plants, pine trees(松树) for example, protect themselves by narrowing their water transport cells, which makes it easier for cells to travel among air bubbles.
The third strategy is also the most extreme – some plants die on the ground in winter and start growing as new plants from seeds when conditions get warmer.
However, the study also found that these smart strategies were developed very slowly – over millionsof years of
evolution(进化). This leads scientists to worry that plants may not be able to deal with human-caused climate change, which has only started occurring over the past few decades.
Scientists are hoping that this study can help people find possible ways to save plants from the threatof climate change.
21.What is the article mainly about?
A.Why plants are not afraid of the winter chill.B.The ways that plants survive cold weather.
C.Changes in plants’ water transport system in winter.D.How plants evolve to keep up with climate change.
22.According to the article, if a plant freezes in the winter, ______.
A.it produces more living tissues to stay aliveB.its leaves quickly fall out and its roots begin to die
C.lots of air bubbles form in its water transport systemD.its water transport system could be blocked in the spring
23.What are scientists worried about when it comes to plants according to the article?
A.Plants may not be able to adapt to the increasingly cold climate.
B.Human activities might have a great impact on the pace of plants’ evolution.
C.Plants may not be able to evolve fast enough to adapt to human-caused climate change.
D.The strategies plants develop are not good enough to protect them against cold.
(B) Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event.There
were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.
Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans (嘟嚷声) when Ms. Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.Then Ms. Yates started to speak:
―I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth of your children, in my imagination. ‖
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:
―It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path. ‖
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar.

(C) February has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.
On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor decided that single men could become better
soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.
But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers secretly. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard.

Primary schools take children from the ages of five to eleven; secondary schools from then until they leave. The school year is from midSeptember to midJuly.

school hours are from about 900 to about 400, five days a week, Monday to Friday.

requirement for most universities. Oxford and Cambridge are more selective, and hold their own entrance exams.University courses for a first degree normally take three or four years, and are in one main subject and possibly a second, subsidiary subject.
