Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. Its almost leafless, thread-li

21、ke stems（茎）hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.Dodder can find other pl

22、ants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomat

23、o smell-if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and disappear-even if the

24、re is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly

25、reduce a farmers harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field sec

26、retly.1、Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?ATo analyze the content of some food.BTo describe tie shape of dodder plants.CTo explain where the dodder plants come from.DTo argue that dodder plants can be used.2、What will happen if a dodder plant starts growing where there are

27、 no other plants around?AIt will die sooner or later.BIt will grow deep roots.CIt will attract other plants.DIt will cover the entire area of soil.3、What can be inferred from the passage?ADodder does not produce its own food.BDodder can affect farmers income.CDodder can only survive in the shade.DDo

28、dder only grows in the warm areas.4、What is the main topic of the passage?AA new variety of farm crops.BPlants that are harmful to humans.CThe special abilities of a dangerous plant.DRecent improvements in farming methods.23（8分）I was in the middle of a sweet dream when a noise startled me. Bam! Bam!

29、 It sounded like a hammer pounding on a tough nail. Bam! Bam! BAM! Who could be hammering at three in the morning? It must be Charlie again, making another invention.Just as I was putting on my slippers and clothes, the noise changed. I sat at the edge of my bed and listened. Tick! Tick! Tick! It re

30、minded me of my first wristwatch. Its regular pace had always helped mc fall asleep.I started dozing off, dangerously leaning to the left, when the ticking stopped. It was now replaced by a buzz, similar to the noise coming from a beehive in midsummer, only louder. I shivered Im allergic to bees ! E

31、ven just thinking about it or hearing a bee like sound makes me swell.“Thats it!” I shouted, now wide awake, “I cant take it anymore!” I marched to the next apartment and knocked. My neighbor immediately opened the door. His curly brown hair was sticking up every which way. He wore baggy striped pan

32、ts and a loose shirt.“Hi, there, Lucy! Whats up?” he asked.I pointed at my noiseless watch. “Do you know what time it is?”He grabbed my arm and glanced at my timepiece. “Oh, my! I didnt realize it was that late. Im busy working on a machine that can cure insomnia(失眠). Its almost finished. You want t

33、o see it?” I should have known. His last invention was supposed to get rid of bad smells, but it was powered by rotten eggs.1、What made the author sleepy again?AThe ticking sound.BThe coming of the bees.CThe smell of the rotten eggs.DHis neighbors silence.2、What was Charlie doing?AHe was inventing a

34、 wristwatch.BHe was working with the bees.CHe was making a new machine.DHe was fixing a broken clock.3、How did Charlie feel when he saw the author?AScared.BSurprised.CAnnoyed.DDisappointed.4、What can we learn about Charlies last machine in the last paragraph?AIt doesnt work.BIt makes a loud noise.CI

35、t gives give off terrible smells while working.DIt is the latest machine that can cure insomnia.24（8分）Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. Imagine how Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese soil, seeing a way of life quite differ

36、ent from anything hed seen before.And how marvelous must it have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia? His brain must have been packed with everything hed seen and heard, leading to the founding of the Silk Road.Some people have t

37、raveled all over the world, and travel is a way of life to them. They perhaps know what to expect before they travel. Thats why the best travel is when its for the first time. Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States. Of course, theyve probably seen the Statue of Liberty

38、 a thousand times on TV, and the White House, and all the other famous sights. But none of that would compare to the thrill of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into view.Although travel is often just for recreation, its also

39、 educational. We may not know that we are getting an education, but we still are.Were learning every day: new words in a new language, new people, and new ways of life. But this learning takes place in the school of the world, not the classroom. One of the lessons we learn is undoubtedly a moral one

40、. As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isnt necessarily the best way. The British politician Benjamin Disraeli summed this up well when he said, “Travel teaches toleration.”1、The author uses Marco Polo and Zhang

41、Qian as examples to .Aexplain how the Silk Road was foundedBpresent travel as an amazing experienceCshow how the way people travel has changedDdescribe important cultural exchanges in history2、By saying “the best travel is when its for the first time”, the author means that .Aones first trip is usua

42、lly the most challengingBno other trip is better than ones first tripCthere is always much to learn on ones first tripDpeople usually make better preparations for their first trip3、The underlined word in paragraph 4 probably means .Alearning BknowledgeCfun Drisk4、According to the last two paragraphs

43、, the author believes that .Atraveling should be included in formal educationBtraveling improves peoples confidence in their lifestyleCa foreign journey may raise peoples cultural understandingDthere is more to learn from adventures than being in classroom25（10分）Semi-retired advertising agency owner
