It shows small actions can make the biggest difference, but we must not be placent as there is always more we can all do to reduce waste and recycle what we use.” More than 7 billion carrier bags were issued by seven leading retailers in xx, but that number has fallen to slightly more than 500 million in the first six months of the 5p charge for singleuse carrier bags introduced in October xx.“We are delighted to see that the bag charge in England is showing positive results.

But does music affect plants, too? People have been experimenting with music and plants for almost three decades. From schoollevel projects to higherlevel scientific experiments, the effect of music on plants has been a confusing and debatable topic.We know music is sound, and sound is nothing more than a wave. Plant growth is a result of the cell division that takes place within the cells. But why is music associated with plant growth? In humans, music has a strong effect on our health and mood, and over the years, people have claimed that the same effect of music has been observed on plants, too. Plants are sensitive by nature, and many people claim that they have feelings just as humans do. There are stories about plants shedding tears. Although scientists do not support these as facts, these myths have led them to take up various experiments on plants.Various studies have proved that plants respond to acoustic (声音的) energy. It increases their rate of growth and their size, and influences their overall health. Dan Carlson, after a thorough study over a span of many years, has reached a conclusion that music helps plants absorb nutrients more efficiently.It took Dan about fifteen years to develop a foliage spray (叶面喷剂) that is used beneficially with the sound frequencies. Carlson calls this spray “Sonic Bloom”. His findings have proved to be beneficial for countless farmers and have resulted in according to Guinness Book of World Records the largest indoor plant on record.The Purple Passion was treated with the Sonic Bloom process. It grew to be 1,300 feet tall and was alive even after 25 years. Its normal lifespan, however, is 18 months and it grows not more than 18 feet tall. The book, Secrets of the Soil, writes about Sonic Bloom and its results. Sonic Bloom is also sold in the market.语篇解读：音乐是否对植物的生长有影响呢？尽管人们一直对这一问题有疑问，但已经有研究表明，音乐有助于植物的生长。28What inspired scientists to experiment with plants?AThe effects of music on human beings.BPeoples unscientific descriptions of plants.CThe fact that plants grew better with music.DThe cell division taking place within the cells.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段最后三句可知，有些人认为植物像人一样有感情，而且还有故事讲述植物流泪，正是这些不科学的描述使科学家萌生了对植物进行实验的想法。29According to the third paragraph, it has been proved that _.Aplants truly have emotionsBmusic has a bad effect on plantsCmusic is good for plants in a wayDthe growth of plants is decided by music解析：选C推理判断题。根据第三段第二、三句可推知，许多研究已经证实，音乐有助于植物的生长和健康，它在一定程度上对植物是有益的。30What did Dan Carlson develop?AA spray called “Sonic Bloom”BA method to grow larger plants.CThe largest indoor plant on record.DAcoustic energy produced from plants.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第四段前两句可知，Dan Carlson 研制了一款名为 Sonic Bloom 的叶面喷剂。31Why was the Purple Passion included in Guinness Book of World Records?AIt was the fastest growing plant.BIt was the most sensitive plant.CIt was the oldest indoor plant.DIt was the largest indoor plant.解析：选D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，该植物入选吉尼斯世界纪录是因为它是世界上最大的室内植物。D(xx重庆市九校联考)I hate Black Friday sales. Its often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their intentions are pletely unrelated to the festive time of the year.It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a childs bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his presence. He wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (文身) were an obvious passion of his.I started to give up the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best gift I had ever received for Christmas. The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions (预想) I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者和妻子想在黑色星期五大抢购时给儿子买辆自行车，无奈百货商店里人山人海。作者本想放弃，没想到一个陌生人把自行车盒子让给了他。这让作者改变了之前对他人的偏见。32How did the author feel when going into the store?AThe crowd was like small fish.BThey might not get the bike.CHe was excited to do the shopping.DThe whistle was blown too late.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too”可知作者进入商店时已经做好了买不到自行车的打算，故选B项。33What happened when the author was buying the bike?AHe was scared by a mans look at first.BA gentleman bought the bike for him.CA stranger helped him lift the box.DHe gave up the bike he first touched.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life.
