Being Brunel,Bristol To celebrate the life and work of famous civil engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel,Being Brunel opened in March on Bristols harbourside.The museum included a range of interactive and entertaining exhibits,including talking portraits of his friends and family and personal possessions,including an 1821 school report.It is a good place for families to strengthen connections. Royal Academy of Arts,London The RA reopened on 19 May for its 250th anniversary,following a renovation (翻新) with a gallery and expanded exhibition programme.These will include three galleries,which will host exhibitions with a focus on contemporary art and architecture.The grand faade (正面) of the Burlington Gardens building has also been restoredpossibly the first time its had a proper clean in its 150-year history. Vthey develop a personality and learn more about their environment and how they should best behave in it.They also help each other out whenever theres trouble. Personality,just as among people,varies among trees.Some are anxious,some bold.On the authors land,there are three oak trees growing close together.One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others.Since they all experience the same temperature,the same soil and the same length of day,such variables cant be the explanation.So whats happening?Well,this tree is simply more careful than the others.Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients.However,the longer a tree keeps its leaves,the higher the risk of injury. Not only do trees make their own decisions,they also learn from their mistakes.A tree,for example,keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again.This leads to several other conclusions:trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere.Obviously,trees dont have brains,but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences. But trees arent only clever when it comes to caring for themselves.They also support each other whenever theres trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients.For example,one time the author found a very old tree stump.Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil.But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living.How was this possible?Well,the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system,and had been for at least 400 years! Why do trees do such a thing?Its simple:its better together.Trees need the forest;it protects them from storms,provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了树的智慧:每棵树都有其不同的个性,遇到困 难时它们也会互相帮助。研究发现,树不但能自己做决定,还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。 28.Why does the author mention the three oak trees? A.To illustrate trees can learn from experiences. B.To show trees can make independent decisions. C.To explain trees are quite supportive to each other. D.To prove trees have the same personalities as humans. 答案 B 解析推理判断题。根据第二段第四句可知,三棵橡树中,有一棵总比其他两棵先落叶;结合第三段第一 句可知,树木能自己做决定。据此可推知,作者提及三棵橡树旨在说明树木可以自己做决定,故 B 项正 确。 29.According to the text,which of the following best describes general features of trees? A.Anxious and bold. B.Smart and adventurous. C.Helpful and well-behaved. D.Adaptable and supportive. 答案 D 解析推理判断题。根据第三段第一句并结合第三段内容可知,树木不仅能自己做决定,还能从自己的 错误中吸取教训。据此可推知,树木的适应能力强。根据第四段第一、二句可知,树木不仅善于照顾 自己,当遇到困难时,它们还相互支持,甚至照顾生病、虚弱的同类。据此可推知,树木之间互帮互助, 故 D 项正确。 30.What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing” mean? A.Give warnings.B.Offer assistance. C.Depend on others. D.Provide nutrients. 答案 B 解析词义猜测题。根据第四段尾句可知,树桩是由它的邻居从根处给予营养来滋养的;结合第五段第 一句和其后的内容可知,该处表示“为什么树木要互相帮助”,显然该短语是指提供帮助,故 B 项正确。 31.Where does this text most probably come from? A.A public lecture. B.A science book. C.An experiment report. D.A travel journal. 答案 B 解析推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了树的智慧。据此可推知,本文最可能 选自科学书籍,故 B 项正确。 D In todays society,language plays a key role in defining gender (性别) by vocabulary,and also the non-verbal (非语言的) vocabulary.Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women. Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women.It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men.This is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are,and also have the ability to speak more clearly,precisely,and more quickly than men.In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting,as opposed to the thirteen-minute average it took men to describe it. Men and women also tend to have a very different nonverbal way of communicating,which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say.Mens body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them.Men avoid other peoples body space while talking,and they also tend to sit back when talking.All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom.Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation. Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral.After learning about our styles of communicating with each other,I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating,what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”?The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex,“I wonder if theres something there?” would no longer exist. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了男性和女性因性别差异而导致在沟通方式 上也有所不同的现象。 32.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.The differences between mens and womens languages. B.The different speed of mens and womens speech. C.The ability of mens and womens spoken language. D.The non-verbal vocabulary of men and women. 答案 B 解析推理判断题。根据语境可知,代词 this 指代的是前面的句子“It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men”,可见,此处的 this 指的是女性比男性说话快的现象,故选 B 项。 33.In what way do men and women differ according to the third paragraph? A.Speed of understanding. B.Understanding of speech roles. C.Politeness of communication. D.Application of body language. 答案 D 解析推理判断题。根据第三段的整体内容,尤其是该段第二句“Mens body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.”可推知,本段主要讲的是男性和女性在非语言表达方式上的 不同,即肢体语言使用上的差异,故选 D 项。 34.What is the authors attitude to the differe

Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women.It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men.This is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are,and also have the ability to speak more clearly,precisely,and more quickly than men.In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting,as opposed to the thirteen-minute average it took men to describe it. Men and women also tend to have a very different nonverbal way of communicating,which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say.Mens body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them.Men avoid other peoples body space while talking,and they also tend to sit back when talking.All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom.Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation. Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral.After learning about our styles of communicating with each other,I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating,what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”?The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex,“I wonder if theres something there?” would no longer exist. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了男性和女性因性别差异而导致在沟通方式 上也有所不同的现象。 32.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
