One normal day after 20 years,the college received a letter and 100 seeds of pure white marigold.It was an old woman of over 70 years old.Some experts in the college doubted it,but in order not to let her down,those seeds finally took root(根) in the earth.The miracle appeared after one year;the field was covered by pure white marigold. Therefore,the old woman who was always unknown to the public became a new focus. The old woman was a flower-lover.When she read the announcement 20 years ago,she got very excited like others.But her eight children were totally against her decision.After all,a woman who never knew the seed genetics(遗传学) couldnt complete what the experts could never do,so her thought was only a day dream. Still,the old woman didnt change her mind and went on working.She planted some of the most common seeds and took good care of them.A year later,when the marigold came out,she chose one faintest(最暗淡的) from those golden and brown flowers and got the best seed.The next year,she again grew them and chose.Day after day,year after year,through many seasons,the old womans husband died,her children flew far,and a lot of things happened in her life,but only the wish to grow the pure white marigold took root in her heart. Finally,after 20 years on the day we all know,in the garden she saw a marigold,which was nearly white,but as white as silver or snow. A problem even experts couldnt deal with was solved by an old woman who didnt understand genetics.Was it a miracle(奇迹)? To take root in the heart,even the most common seed,can grow into a miracle! 21.According to the passage,the marigold is unusual. A.white B.purple C.brownD.golden 22.It can be learned from the passage that . A.the children didnt agree on their mothers decision B.the woman needed the great reward for her big family C.the experts also succeeded in growing the white marigold D.the woman took good care of the flowers instead of her family 23.The woman successfully grew the white marigold at last because she . A.was luckier than experts B.put her heart into flowers C.got support from her family D.studied the seed genetics well 24.The passage mainly talks about . A.the difficulties of getting the white marigold B.the possibility of going beyond experts C.the unforgettable development of marigold D.the importance of holding on to dreams B To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains,but actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain.Its first use was as a shade against the sun! Nobody knows who first invented it,but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the eleventh century BCE. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use:it became a symbol of honour.In the Far East in ancient times,the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office. In Europe,the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece.But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages,the use of the umbrella practically disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century.And again it was considered as a symbol of power.By 1680,the umbrella appeared in France and later in England. By the eighteenth century,the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.Umbrellas did not change much in style during all this time,though they became much lighter in weight.It wasnt until the twentieth century that womens umbrellas began to be made in a whole variety of colours. 25.According to this passage,the umbrella was probably first used in ancient. A.ChinaB.Egypt C.GreeceD.Rome 26.In Europe,the umbrella was first used against the rain . A.during the Middle Ages B.by the eighteenth century C.in ancient Rome D.in ancient Greece 27.This passage mainly talks about . A.when and how the umbrella was invented B.why the umbrella was so popular in Europe C.the development of the umbrella D.the history and use of the umbrella C What killed King Tut?Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypts most famous king was probably murdered.But a recent scientific study claims to have found a different answer to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery.A team of researchers now say that King Tut,the boy ruler,died of complications(并发症) from a broken leg. Tuts full name was Tutankhamun.He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler of Egypt.His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago.It was filled with royal riches,including a solid-gold coffin,a gold mask,and piles of jewelry. Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19.Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers,named Ay,who wanted to be king.But thanks to a major modern science project,it seems Ay is innocent. Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tuts death by using the tools of science,including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy(木乃伊).Scientist Carsten Pusch conducted the tests on Tut for the new study.He thinks a broken leg contributed to the young kings death. More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tuts tomb.This supports the teams findings.But how could a person die from a simple broken leg? Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tuts body that indicates he had malaria(疟疾),a disease carried by mosquitoes.Malaria severely weakens the immune system. Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the kings fracture(骨折) to become deadly.Finally,the young king was just too weak to recover.So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bonenot a jealous adviserare likely the real causes of King Tuts death. 28.It has long been believed by historians and scientists that . A.King Tut was the youngest ruler in the world history B.King Tut was the richest ruler in the history of Egypt C.King Tut was murdered by one of his advisers D.King Tut was poisoned by one of his servants 29.From the passage we can learn that . A.the king had been dead for 3,300 years B.the king was buried grandly C.the king was born with a bad immune system D.the kings body was well kept in the tomb 30.Researchers uncovered the mystery of King Tuts death by . A.testing the kings immune system B.studying the walking sticks found in the tomb C.performing experiments on mosquitoes D.applying DNA tests and electronic scan technology 31.The passage mainly tells us about . A.a different answer to King Tuts death B.a famous boy king in ancient Egypt C.a treasure-filled tomb discovered in Egypt D.a team of researchers studying ancient tombs D No one knows exactly when jazz was invented,or by whom.But it is said that it began in the early 1900s.Jazz is a new kind of music,for America and the world,and New Orleans is its birthplace. Who were the jazz pioneers?Most were blacks.This music was not written down,and at first only blacks played it.It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style.But soon they,too,were playing jazz. The popularity of this music spread.From New Orleans,it travelled up the Mississippi to Chicago,then to Kansas City and New York.By the 1920s,there were many jazz musicians,both black and white.Many of them were famous.One man was better than the rest.His name was Louis Armstrong. Louis Armstrong was a born musician.He was not only talented but also hard- working.He also had a good sense of humour and a big,good-natured smile.These personal qualities were valuable in his rise to fame.After he became famous,he travelled around the world.It seemed that everyone wanted to hear Louis play.But life was not always easy,especially at the beginning. Louis Armstrong was born in 1900 in New Orleans.His father never went to school and his mother could hardly read.When Louis was still a kid,his parents separated,and Louis lived with his mother.How hard their life was can readily be imagined.And yet Louis smiled through everything.He later wrote,“My whole life has been happiness.Life was there for me and I accepted it.Whatever happened has been beautiful to me.I love everybody.” 32.What can we know exactly from the first paragraph?

A.On the other hand,black is depressing. B.They tell us,among other facts,that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow upwe are born with our preference. C.The rooms are painted in different colours as you like. D.If you do,you must be an optimist,a leader,an active person who enjoys life,people and excitement. E.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. F.Life is like a picture or a poem,full of different colours. G.Colours do influence our moodsthere is no doubt about it. 第三部分语言知识应用(共两节,满分 45 分) 第一节(共 20 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 30 分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项。 Yesterday was Mothers Day.Unfortunately,my mother was not among the many happy mothers,as I couldnt visit her this year.I made a 41 on the phone that I would go to see her as soon as possible.
