27、Four Benefits of Having Plants in the Classroom
There are hundreds of different plants you might choose for your classroom. However, you need make sure that they can all live indoors and won't give our any harmful things.
【1】 We've tried to pick out the most important ones to show you just how great they are for students and their learning!
1. Plants freshen the air. 【2】 And they also take in CO2 and give out O2, which can help improve brain productivity. You can put just a few big leafy plants in the corner. You can even increase or decrease the humidity（湿气） in your classroom! This can help children with breathing problems, and improve air quality.
2. Plants improve students' mental（精神的）health. It's no secret that plants can add a touch of freshness and liveliness to any boring place! 【3】 Studies have also shown that classrooms that contain plants can reduce students' anxiety, sickness and absence. All this comes from a little plant.
3. 【4】 Having plants to study first hand is the best way to teach students about living things and plant biology. Using living plants can help students study plant growth over time. As well as biology, plants can also be used in lessons such as mathematics and art as a great way to draw students in.
4. Plants raise environmental consciousness（意识）. We think this is one of the best reasons to have plants in classrooms! When students are able to see the effort and care needed to grow plants, they develop a sense of ownership for these living beings. Developing knowledge of how important nature is can help them become connected to their environment outside of the classroom. 【5】

29、阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项.
Philosophers from Aristotle to the Beatles have argued that money does not buy happiness. But it seems to help. Since 2005，Gallup, a pollster (民意调查) has asked a representative sample of adults from countries across the world to rate their life satisfaction on a scale from zero to ten. The headline result is clear : the richer the country, on average, the higher the level of self-reported happiness. The simple correlation (相关性) suggests that doubling GDP per person lifts life satisfaction by about 0.7 points.
Yet the prediction that as a country gets richer, its mood will improve has an unclear record. In 1974 Richard Easterlin, an economist, discovered that average life satisfaction in America had failed to develop between 1946 and 1970 even as GDP per person had grown by 65% over the same period. He went on to find a similar disconnection in other places, too. Although income is correlated with happiness when looking across countries—and although economic downturns are reliable sources of short-term suffering—long-term GDP growth does not seem to be enough to turn the average frown (皱眉) upside-down.
The “Easterlin paradox (悖论)” has been hotly debated since, with some economists claiming to find a link between growth and rising happiness by using better quality data. On March 20th the latest Gallup data were presented in the World Happiness Report, an annual UN-backed study. The new data provide some evidence for both sides of the debate, but on the whole, suggest that the paradox is alive and well.
There are important examples of national income and happiness rising and falling together. The most significant—in terms of population—is China, where GDP per person has doubled over a decade, while average happiness has risen by 0. 43 points. Among rich countries, Germany enjoys higher incomes and greater cheer than ten years ago. Venezuela, once the fifth-happiest country in the world, has become miserable as its economy has collapsed. Looking across countries, growth is correlated with rising happiness.
Yet that correlation is very weak. Of the 125 countries for which good data exist, 43 have seen GDP per person and happiness move in opposite directions. Like China, India is a populous developing economy that is growing quickly. But happiness is down by about 1.2 points in the past decade. America, the subject of Easterlin’s first study, has again seen happiness fall as the economy has grown. In total, the world’s population looks roughly equally divided between places where happiness and incomes have moved in the same direction over the past ten years, and places where they have separated.
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.Economic downturns do not cause people’s unhappiness.
B.Economic growth increased average life satisfaction in America.
C.Long-term GDP growth does not necessarily make people happy.
D.The correlation between people’s mood and income can be predicted.
【2】Which of the following countries has both a better economy and happier people?
A.India. B.America. C.Venezuela. D.China.
【3】The passage is mainly developed by__________.
A.giving explanations B.presenting research data
C.giving definition D.listing examples
【4】Which of the following does the writer probably agree with?
A.The relationship between economic growth and rising happiness is uncertain.
B.Countries with similar population tend to have more things in common.
C.Half of the world enjoys growth when economy and mood are positive.
D.National income and happiness will always rise and fall regularly.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The elementary means of communicating with other people is conveying messages by voice. This fact is widely acknowledged and we recognize the voice as a(n) 【1】 characterizing the identity of a person. The array of voices is immeasurable as no two are exactly similar. They can be nasal, resonant or shrill produced in accordance with the individual physical【2】 of the throat.
One possible implementation of the 【3】 of voice recognition is voice profiling used by police analysts as a method of substantiating court evidence in trials. Every year, thousands of audiotapes with recorded interviews or 【4】 utterances are put to the purpose to help identify the probable 【5】. Specialists dealing with the voice investigation claim that people can give themselves away by their 【6】, inflections or other voice attributes like pitch, intensity and loudness. A recorded sample is usually 【7】 into electric impulses and later transformed into a pictorial recoding which is processed by a computer program. Very frequently voice analyst have a stake at deciphering the relevant information which may be 【8】 with background noise or other interfering sounds until they attain the 【9】 results.
Thankfully, these efforts help the police detect individuals who threaten their victims by phone or inform about bomb 【10】 or those who make offensive calls disturbing the peach of decent citizens.
