That means warm soil, proper night temperatures and no risk of a sudden reversion to winter.I no longer believe in settled weather. In the current age of climate confusion, a backup plan is always an essential part of a gardeners intention for an ideal tomato harvest.Where tomatoes are concerned, the best crop insurance is to root some extras from cuttings(剪枝). It can take a couple of months to grow garden-ready tomato plants from seed(种子), but cuttings can be ready to go in a few weeks. Yes, you could pick up some starts at a garden center, but its hard to find strong ones in good condition.Instead, buy one tomato plant, and turn it into many. Tomatoes root very quickly and easily. All you do is remove a tiny branch about 6 inches tall off the main stem(茎), carefully cut off all but the top two leaves, plant the tiny branch in a pot, and wait. Roots will emerge along the stem and new growth will soon appear if kept damp, warm and out of direct sunlight.If you have never rooted stem cuttings before, you will have gained not only a tomato crop but also a skill that you can now apply to other plants in your garden, both edible and ornamental(装饰性的). Tomato relatives such as peppers and eggplants can be similarly rooted, as can many herbs, especially those in the mint family. 21. The underlined word “reversion” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _. A. embarrassment B. punishmentC. returnD. temperature22. Why a backup plan is strongly suggested to guarantee an ideal tomato harvest? A. Because gardeners are fond of essential climate confusion.B. Because the author no longer believes in weather forecast. C. Because the more plans there are, the more successful the harvest will be. D. Because the weather can be changeable unexpectedly.23. What is the correct order to root a tomato properly according to the passage? a. carefully cut off all but the top two leavesb. kept the pot damp, warm and out of direct sunlightc. buy a tomato plant at a garden center d. plant the tiny branch in a pote. remove a tiny branch about 6 inches tall off the main stemf. roots will emerge along the stem and new growth will soon appear A.d-f-a-c-b-eB. c-e-a-d-b-fC. c-a-d-e-f-bD. a-d-c-b-e-fBFew things can get normally calm people angry like finding a parking ticket attached to the windshield of their cars, especially when they seem undeserved. But most people dont want to invest the time and energy to beat them.Now a new iPhone app, Fixed, will take on the task of beating a ticket: suggesting reasons it might be wrong, gathering supporting evidence and submitting proper paperwork to get drivers out of them. If the driver beats the ticket, they pay Fixed 25of what it would have cost.“When you mention parking tickets to people, most people think theyve received an unfair one,” said David Hegarty, the designer of Fixed, who came up with the idea after getting six parking tickets in one day.When someone gets a ticket, they snap a photo of it on their iPhone and enter the code. The app will tell them what percentage of those types of tickets are usually overturned and then show a list of possible reasons it could be found wrong such as a traffic sign covered by a leafy tree or a broken parking meter. If the motorists think they have a case, the app will remind them to get any additional photographic evidence with their phone and then digitally sign a letter.Fixeds business model isnt pletely new. There are panies that handle such cases for large panies such as FedEx and UPS. The difference is that Fixed is making the service available to individuals, thus helping in any area where the fee amount is small enough not to protest in person, but still big enough to make someone angry. “Thats our sweet spot,”David said.24. The inspiration of Fixed came from A. marketing analysis provided by iPhone B. similar software from Apple App storeC. David Hegartys personal experience D. successful cases of some drivers25. The underlined word “submit”, in Paragraph 2 probably means“ ”.A. give up B. hand in C. put down D. make up26. What does the 4th Paragraph mainly tell us about?A. What people can do to avoid parking tickets. B. Why evidence is important in paying a ticket.C. How the iPhone App Fixed works. D. Why a smart phone App attracts users.27. According to the last paragraph, Fixed is unique because A it targets individuals as its customers B. it is free for smart phone usersC. it was developed by FedEx and UPS D. it can easily beat most of parking ticketsC If your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said.Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Thats because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! Youre a great vegetable taster,” did not work as well.The study found that when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables-either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas in laboratory taste tests, the study said.Researchers randomly assigned（分派）173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”.Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day of 12 days. Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once disliked vegetable three months later.Why didnt the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.28. The purpose of writing the passage is_.A. to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetablesB. to show the procedure of an experiment on childrens dietC. to explain why children hate to eat vegetablesD. to present a proper way of verbal praise to parents29. The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ _”.A. shoot from behind the backB. make a fire in the backyardC. produce an unexpected resultD. achieve what was planned30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.B. It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables.C. Oral praise works quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.D. Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.31. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?A. By parison.B. By asking questions. C. By giving examplesD.By discussion.DThe sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to munity tool sharing. Since xx, a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world-Little Free Library. The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods from which residents can withdraw（取出）and deposit（存入）books. Little Free Libraries e in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults, or tour guides. In xx, Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother, who was a devoted reader. When he saw the people of his munity gathering around it, exchanging conversation as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further. “I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other,” Bol said. Since then, his idea has bee a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to Little FreeLibrary.org, there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world, located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia. The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human. For many people, the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries main appeal. “A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading; a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life,” says the Atlantic article. “Every book is a potential source of inspiration”. 32. How do Little Free Libraries get their books?A. The munities bought them. B. Tod Bol donated them. C. US government provided them. D. Citizens shared them.33. Why did Tod Bol want to build more Little Free Libraries? A. They can offer neighbors more chances to talk.B. He was inspired by the sharing economy. C. He wanted to promote his idea worldwide. D. They are a gift to please his mother.34. What does the author of the Atlantic article believe? A. Little Free Libraries are more popular than e-reader downloads. B. E-reader downloads are undoubtedly beneficial. C. Little Free Libraries are physical and human. D. The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries.35. Little Free Libraries attract readers most in that _. A. they are in various shapes and sizes B. they are located all over the worldC. they connect strangers together D. they may give readers a sense of discovery 第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） Taking a math test can be pretty stressful.
