AA mother and daughter have made their wedding days special—by having a joint ceremony(联合婚礼).Kim Milhano, 28, and Susan Scott-Williams, 51, got married together. The two are often mistaken for sisters. They combined their weddings at a hotel near their homes in Bristol. Mother-of-two Kim said, “Sharing my big day with another bride(新娘) could make it feel embarrassing(令人尴尬的). But it actually brought us double the joy.”After walking up two ways in a V-shape, the brides met their husbands for their ceremonies, which were followed by a huge party for 180 people. And because they had one large wedding instead of two, the family managed to save a quarter of the cost of the ￡8,000 event.Kim said, “When my husband Carlos rang me and said …I think you need to sit down‟, I was worried that one of the kids was hurt. So it was a bit of a relief(放松) when he said he wanted to have a double wedding with my mum and her husband Barry. Up until then day-to-day life had taken over and we‟d never had time or the money to plan a wedding.” “Mum and Barry were happy for us to do things completely in our way but I didn‟t want to take over. So we planned everything together—it‟s what our whole family is like. We spent months planning the big day together. Thankfully we never had different opinions!”21. Why was the wedding special?A. The wedding was much more joyful than an ordinary one.B. The mother and her daughter shared the same wedding day.C. The ceremony was held at a hotel near the brides‟ homes.D. The couples successfully saved the money for the ceremony.22. By saying “I didn‟t want to take over”, Kim hoped ________.A. she was worried about the weddingB. her mother had another weddingC. the two families lived together after the weddingD. she and her mother discussed the wedding together23. The author‟s attitude towards the joint wedding can be described a s ________.A. uninterestedB. disappointedC. hopefulD. supportiveBThe world‟s most popular type of banana is facing a major health crisis. According to a new study, a disease caused by a powerful fongus(真菌）is killing the Cavendish banana, which accounts for 99% of the banana market around the globe. The disease, called Tropical Race 4(TR4),has affected banana crops in southeast Asia for decades. In recent years, it has spread to the Middle East and the African nation of Mozambique. Now experts fear the disease will show up in Latin America, where the majority of the world‟s bananas are grown.Once a banana plant is infected with TR4, it can‟t get water and nutrients. TR4 lives in soil, and can easily end up on a person‟s boots. If the contaminated(污染）boots are then worn on a field where Cavendish bananas are grown, the disease could be transferred. “Once a field has been contaminated with the disease, you can‟t grow Cavendish bananas there anymore.” s cientist Randy Ploetz says.Cavendish bananas are produced in mass quantities and are popular among consumers. But once one banana plant gets infected(感染)，it just runs like wildfire through that entire plantation. One solution to solve the problem, Ploetz says, is to try to develop new bananas that can resist TR4. “It really needs to be done, but we don‟t have it yet.” He notes that we still have time before we need to worry about the Cavendish banana disappearing.24. The disease, called TR4 has affected banana crops in the following areas EXCEPT .A.MozambiqueB. Latin AmericaC.the Middle EastD. southeast Asia25. If a banana plant is infected with TR4, the banana plant will probably die of________A. coldB. poisonC.heatD.thirst26. We can infer that the disease called TR4 can__________ .A.damage a person‟s boots.B.be cured easily with chemicals.C. last for a long time in the soil.D.be prevented from spreading.27 .What is the ideal way to solve the problem?A. To promote the sales of bananas.B. To throw away the infected bananas.C. To develop a new variety of the bananas resisting TR4.D. To bury the infected bananas in the soil.CProfessional English Training TutorWe are agency company, seeking professional business English training tutor for a US company.

The bees, spotting the food beneath the screen, learned to pull the “flowers” out by pulling the string with their legs and feet to be able to get to it.From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training, only two of 110 weresuccessful.Another group of bees was then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings, and 60 percent of them successfully learned the skill. Finally，trained bees were put in colonies, and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a ma jority of the colony‟s worker bees.Lars Chittka,, a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project, said the team is interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees‟ learning and teaching skills.32. What does the underlined wor d “exclusive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.ordinary.B. unique.C. beneficial.D. widespread.33. What did the researchers find about bees?A.Bees learn best in insects.B.Bees are as clever as birds.C.Bees are born good learners.D.Bees can be trained to learn skills.34. What may the research team focus on next?A. What else bees can do.B. Where bees learn skills.C.How bees teach others.D. How bees‟ brain work.35. What may be the best title for the text?A. Small bees, great abilitiesB. Bees can learn and teachC. Bees are smarterD. Let bees learn第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
