The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home, he did not know where lo plant it.He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come al night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit.Finally he planted the tree in his woods (树林) where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died. Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place. Whats the difference?” the farmer said angrily.If I had planted the tree near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit.”Yes, said the friend, but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit.

Thats why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。35 .

A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine(联合) the two to do something for your local environment? It may be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone, you will be able to bury(埋) it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower. A biodegradable(生物可降解的) mobile phone was introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage people to recycle. Scientists have thought of a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic, but overtime it can breakdown into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals(有毒的化学物质). British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover with a sunflower seed(种子). When this cover changes into waste, it forms nitrates(硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow. “We have only put sunflower seeds into the cover so far. But were trying to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time,” said one scientist.As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are always throwing their mobile phones away. This means producers are under pressure(压力) to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal(金属) and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can reduce the harm to nature, according to the scientists. “The seed is released(释放) and the flower grows in the pot, so you dont have to worry about the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan, the leader of the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.40 . Scientists did this type of research about biodegradable mobile phones in order to _.Amake the mobile phones more beautifulBencourage people to recycleCfind a new way to grow flowersDproduce more mobile phones41 . Millions of mobile phones have been sold this year and people will _ within two years.Abury most of them in the gardenBput sunflower seeds into most of themCtake out their coverDthrow most of them away42 . What does the underlined phrase “break down” mean?Achange into chemicalsBnot workCbe dividedDbreak out43 . We can infer(推断) from the passage that _.Athe new type of mobile phones is already on the marketBsome 650 million mobile phones have been sold within two yearsCBritish scientists are doing the researchDroses perform best in this type of mobile phones44 . Whats the best title of the passage?Athe Harm to NatureBthe Developing Phone TechnologyCPhones and FlowersDMobile Phones and EnvironmentQuiet classes, quite a few exams and long hours at school This might sound like the daily life of many Chinese high school students. But a group of 50 Grade 9 students from Bohunt School in Hampshire, UK, decided to try out Chinese schools for four weeks. This idea has been made into a BBC documentary called Are Our Kids Tough Enough? Chinese School.Five Chinese teachers came to a UK school to teach the British students in Chinese way , they came from some excellent schools in big cities including Nanjing and Xian. one month later, students in Chinese classes would have the same tests as other British students in math, science and Mandarin to see who would test better.The Chinese teachers came in with full confidence, but they quickly found discipline（纪律）was their biggest challenge. “When I walked into the classroom , some students were chatting, some students were eating, somebody was even putting make-up on her face. I had to control myself, or I would have gone crazy,” said one of teachers, Li Aiyun.The British students also complained. Many of them found the classes boring. “In class , we just repeat, repeat ,repeat and copy a lot of notes from the board,” one student said. The students finally took the tests, and the results came out on August 18th. The Chinese class did better . Chinese teachers were happy, but they thought it was because those students are more hard-working. They also realized their teaching way was “a bit too rigid（死板的）”,Its very hard to say which education system（体系）is better . But I think we can learn from each other,” said Li.The British teachers also believe and results are very important. Neil Strowger , the headmaster of bohunt said : “We probably do need a longer day at school, but do we really want children to work 15 to 16 hours a day.45 . Are Our Kids Tough Enough? Chinese School is _made by BBC.Aa documentaryBa movie C.newsCa talk show46 . In Britain, high school students may _ at school.Astudy for 15 hours a dayBhave a lot of free talks in classChave quite a few examsDhave many notes to take47 .

From this program, we know that _.AChinese education system is much better than BritainsBBritish teachers dont like Chinese education system.CWe should learn from each other to improve our education systemDBritish students should come to study in Chinese schools.四、填写适当的单词补全句子短文填空（10分）If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time，they become weak；when you start using them again，they slowly become strong againEverybody knows thatYet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the s49 . wayWhen someone says that he has a good memory，he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by u50 . itWhen someone else says that his memory is poor，he really means that he does not give it enough c51 . to become strongIf a friend says that his arms and legs are weak.
