25、Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering(不开花的) plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds(种子). The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady(阴凉的) places, they usually grow into new plants.
【1】What fact does the passage lead you to believe?
A. Of all living things, animals are most important.
B. Spores are seeds.
C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.
D. Without plants, man will die out.
【2】The paragraph following the passage will be about ________.
A. how plants can make food from air
B. how spores grow into new plants
C. why some plants have no seeds
D. why non-flowering plants are more important than flowering plants
【3】This passage is most likely to be taken from ________.
A. a story book B. a novel
C. a science magazine D. a laboratory report
26、 Architects(建筑师) have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical basis(实证依据). They are discovering how to design spaces that develop creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.
Researches show that the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research suggests that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence the owner’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically(学术地), and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms mainly overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we’re almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管),” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That’s what we’re all struggling with.”
【1】What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?
A. The height of the ceiling. B. The freedom of people.
C. The outlook of environment. D. The shape of the furniture.
【2】What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A. The classroom with roads around can be filled with more students.
B. The students in large classrooms can pay more attention on maths.
C. The views outside the window may affect the students’ grades.
D. The researchers in the University of Georgia may get higher scores.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A. Test standards may encourage people to search more.
B. Students in a bright classroom may feel more relaxed.
C. Children in greenness may improve their grades quickly.
D. Room designs may influence people’s work and feelings.
27、 Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what pressure is. Pressure is what you feel when you are worried about something.
This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid-all of which can give you a stomachache or headache.
However, there are different kinds of pressure. Some kinds of pressure are good and others are bad. Good pressure might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of pressure can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the pressure pushes you to prepare better before the test.
On the other hand, bad pressure can happen if the pressure lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of pressure isn’t going to help you. And it can really make you sick.
The best way to fight pressure is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Relaxation, and Food. If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably fight pressure.
根据短文内容,判断句子正(T)、误(F)。
【1】In the writer’s opinion, pressure is what you feel when you are excited about something.
【2】All kinds of pressure are bad for our health.
【3】When good pressure happens, it can help you to get things better done.
【4】You can really feel sick if the pressure lasts long.
【5】If you want to fight pressure, you’d better have a balanced life.

“I talk to him all the time,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “W【5】I do, he’ll stay with me. When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”

Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by e【7】walking it or playing with it.
“At the beginning, it was b【8】that no one would like the robot dog because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says. “But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.” “Hopefully, down the road, these robot p【9】could become more valuable health helpers. They will r【10】their masters’ data of health conditions. They may even one day help older people in many other ways.”
