Without plants, people could not live. We eat plants. We take in oxygen that plants make. And we need plants for another reason: We need them because they are beautiful.
Imagine a world with no plants. Imagine no flowers with their sweet smells, their beautiful colors and their lovely shapes. Imagine, when the wind blows, we are not able to hear the leaves in the trees or watch the branches swing from side to side.
Everywhere people need beautiful plants. That is why we have parks full of trees and flowers. That is why people always like houses with room for some grass and a garden.
Do you talk to your plants? Do you give them love and take good care of them? Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, writers of a book called THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS, tell of an experiment in which two seeds were planted in different places. While the plants were growing, one plant was given love and hopeful ideas. After six months, the beloved plant was bigger. Under the earth it had more and longer roots; above the earth, it had a thicker stem and more leaves.
46. In the experiment, the two plants were ________.
A. talked to in two different ways
B. of different kinds
C. both given love and taken good care of
D. grown in the same place
47. At the end of six months________.
A. the plants were of the same size
B. one plant had longer roots than the other
C. one plant had longer roots; the other plant had a thicker stem
D. one plant had a thicker stem; the other plant had more leaves
48. Tompkins and Bird believe that plants ________.
A. can talk to each other
B. can take care of each other

49. The experiment tells us that _________.
A. without plants people could not live

D. plants need plenty of water, sunshine and f ertiliz er

It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends．Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone．This communication (交际) is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss (讨论) something．These things are difficult to say to their family members．However, parents often try to choose their children friends for them．Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends．Have you ever thought of the following questions?

You're sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠). Suddenly, you're yawning with him, though you're not tired.
This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagions(有感染力的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.
Hogo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we're feeling. “Emotions are close ly linked with states of internal(内部的)responses, ”he explained. “There are also more visible changes in our gesture and facial expressions. When we're in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there're the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure. ”
Hugo Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other Person, we even copy his behaviour. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you’re sitting-it's pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientist s believe it’s our way of telling each other that you’re parents. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle (微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions. ”
So, what lessons can we learn from this? “spend time with happy people—otherwise your
health could suffer, ” said Critchley. “When we’re sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we’re happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone aro und us. ”
45. According to Hugo Critchley, _________.
A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions
B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold
C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses
D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions
46. The underlined word “synchronise” in paragraph 4 means “_________”.
A. move slowly
B. change rapidly
C. relax temporarily
D. respond accordingly
47. From the passage we can learn ______.
A. sadness is as contagious as happiness
B. anger is less contagious than friendliness
C. surprise is more contagious than smile
D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions
48. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans.
B. Children like copying the actions of the fellow humans.
C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
D. People tend to communicate more with body language.
D
Celebrity(名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption（消费）on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.
C elebrity clothing lines aren’t a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they’re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.
However, for every success story, there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter ho w famous the product’s origins is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial（最初的）attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty (忠诚) returning to tried-and-true labels.
Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego’s（自我的）potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion—like celebrity—has always been temporary.
49. Fashion magazines today .
A. seldom put models on the cover
B. no longer put models on the cover
C. need not worry about celebrities’ market potential
D. judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly
50. A change in the consumer market can be found today that .
A. price rather than brand name is more concerned
B. producers prefer models to celebrities for advertisements
C. producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisements
D. quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned
51. The underlined sentence in paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly .
A. decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his products
B. damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general public
C. cut short the artistic career of a celebrity in show business
D. influence the price of a celebrity’s products
52. The passage is mainly about .
A. celebrity and personal style
B. celebrity and markets potential
C. celebrity and fashion design
D. celebrity and clothing industry
E
Homesick is a compound（复合）word made up of HOME and SICK．You know what each word means on its own, of course．But think about what the words mean when they are used together．Homesick means SICK FOR HOME．
Now think for a minute about．If you change the word home in the definition（释义）to the word sea, would the definition fit SEASICK? Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA? It means something quite different．Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA．When you are homesick, the only place you want to be at home．When you are seasick, the last place you want to he is at sea．
Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick? Heart- sick doesn’t mean that something is wrong with a person’s heart．People are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are broken．
But, on the other hand, we have such compound words as handshake and handbag．Perhaps you may write definitions for them and knowing something like this must be helpful in your English study．
62. When we say a person is heartsick, we mean that________．
A.his heart is broken
B.his heart needs testing
C.he’s sorry at heart
D.he’s terribly disappointed（失望）and sad

A.where you want to be most
B.where you want to be least

A.easy to know
B.difficult to know
C. impossible to learn

Dear Mike,
I am very glad to receive your e-mail. Now I’d like to tell you something that took place in my school yesterday. In the afternoon we held a growing-up ceremony for our coming 18-year-old birthday. At first we made an oath that we should have a sense of duty for our society as grown-ups from now on. Then we showed our thanks to our parents who had gone through hardships to bring us up and teachers who have been educating us patiently. And our teachers also gave us cards expressing their good wishes to us. Finally, we put on wonderful performances, singing and dancing. We learned a lot from the activity. I think it’s very important for us. I will remember the day in my life.
Yours.
Li Ming。
