ASequoia trees are one of the largest and oldest of living things. Some of these treesare three thousand years old. The great sequoia tree grows along the western part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Sequoia can grow to be almost 32 feet tall.Another type of tree, called bonsai, grows in a pot in homes. A bonsai is a miniature （微型）form of a tree as it might be found in nature. Some bonsai trees have lived for more than 200 years.To begin a bonsai garden you plant a very small tree in a small pot. As it grows, you cut back the roots to keep the tree small. Branches are also cut back or forced to turn in order to form them into a special shape. In this way the branches can be kept from growing too long.A bonsai tree doesn’t grow to be more than 2 feet. Compare this with the largest living sequoia known, the General Sherman Tree in Sequoia National Park, which measures 275 feet tall and 103 feet around. Nobody ever cut its roots!Because sequoias have been around for millions of years, dinosaurs（恐龙）may have even rested beneath them. Bonsai trees were first created about one thousand years ago in China and were introduced into Japan two hundred years later.Would a sequoia make a good bonsai tree? Probably not. Unless, of course, you hada few thousand years to take care of it!31. What is mentioned in this text about the sequoia tree?A. It is popular in the world.B. It can be over thirty feet tall.C.

Theis is for their safety, and the safety of others.Drivers should always have sunglasse handy. Whether you are driving your own car or a bus full of people, the sun can be your enemy. The rays could cause you not to see the traffic that stopped 50 feet in front of you. Accidents like this can be avoided by always having sunglasses in your car.It is very important that parents teach their children from an early age to wear sunglasses. In addition, you are protecting very delicate（柔弱的）eyes as well. Children, especially the very young, are growing and developing in every way. Protecting their eyes with sunglasses from the start will recude the damage they will pay for later in life.Even babies can wear sunglasses. A child begins their life by being able to focus on objects only less than the inches from their face. A pair of baby sunglasses will keep harmful rays out of your baby’s young, delicate eyes.Anyone who spends long time in the sun should know the advantages of sunglasses. If you are extremely interested in water sports and spend a lot of time at the beach or on a lake, you could be at greater risk. Water sportsmen like water —skiers know howprotective sunglasses will save a lifetime of hardship. The sun reflecting-off （反射）thewater into your eyes can increase the damage. So do find a good pair of water sunglasseswhile you ride the waves.35. What does the writer want to tell the reader?A. The imortance of wearing sunglasses.B.The best time of wearing sunglasses.C.

The answer is yes...and no.Men take more risks（风险）. In sutdies, men as a whole are less careful than women,such as driving at higher speeds and closer to other cars, and not wearing seat belts. Theyeven make risker turns and take less time when parking.ell he drives. Men do BUT... how someone drives doesn’t necessarily equal how wseem to be better than women at certain driving tasks. However, this slight edge in abilitydoesn’t translate into better driving records. The kinds of accidents men get into are generally the result of their riskier driving. According to one study, men are more thanthan women, and more than 25three times as likely to be ticketed for “risky d riving”　percent as likely to be at fault in an accident.The ability to make good judgement is a powerful thing. Despite the research, scientists point out that it’s difficult to determine whether men are truly born to be better drivers than women, or if they’re simply more confident in their driving because they thought to be better, and thus show better skills. Similarly, the traditional view thatwomen are weaker drivers may unfavourably affect（影响）their performance behind thewheel.Women are catching up... which isn’t necessarily good news. Men may be responsible for more accidents than women, but the gap（差距）is getting smaller. Today,more women drive than ever before, which has the unfortunate increase in speeding,risky driving, and even death among women.The take-home: Learn from the strengths of both sexes. Drive confidently andcarefully. And don’t forget to wear your seat belt.38. Which of the following is a risk mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. Driving with careless women.B.
