Both the vegetables and the tree gave the place a wonderful appearance, which was the joy of the gardens owner. What no one knew was that the vegetables in the field and the tree couldnt stand each other. The vegetables hated the trees shadow, because it left them only just enough light to survive. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water before it could get to him, leaving him with just enough to survive.The situation became so extreme that the vegetables got totally fed up and decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up. The tree answered back by refusing to give the vegetables shadow from the hot midday sun, so they both began to dry up. Before long, the vegetables were really thin and the trees branches were drying up.Neither of them thought that the gardener, on seeing his vegetable field becoming worse, would stop watering it. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables really learned what thirst was. There seemed to be no solution, but one of the vegetables, a small courgette（小胡瓜）, understood what was going on, and decided to deal with it. Despite the little water and the unbearable heat, the little courgette did all he could to grow, grow.He managed to grow so big that the gardener started watering the field again. The gardener wanted to enter that beautiful big courgette in some gardening contest.And so the vegetables and the tree realized that it was better to help each other than to fight. They should really learn how to live in harmony with those around them, doing the best they could. So they decided to work together, using both the shadow and the water in the best combination to grow good vegetables. Seeing how well they were doing, the gardener now gave the best of care to his vegetable field, watering it better than any other field for miles around.56. What is the problem between the tree and the vegetables? A. They looked down upon each other. B. They didnt leave water to each other. C. They couldnt stand each other. D. They didnt know how to protect themselves.57. What is the result of the fight between the tree and the vegetables? A. They grew taller and stronger. B. They were both drying up. C. The tree defeated the vegetables. D. The vegetables defeated the tree.58. The courgette thought of ways to solve the conflict by . A. making peace with the tree B. working together with other vegetables C. entering the gardening contests D. growing big enough59. What can we learn from this passage? A. We ought to live in harmony with others. B. We ought to save as much water as possible. C. We ought to learn from each other in some ways. D. We ought to learn to respect each other.BAt the age of 16, Clara Barton was advised to become a teacher, since she was quite shy. She taught in Massachusetts for ten years, and was invited to Bordentown, New Jersey, to teach in a private school. She saw personally that these communities needed free education for their citizens, and she responded by creating a free school, one of the first in her state. Later, officials ignored her and appointed a male as principal instead. She resigned and moved to Washington DC, becoming the first woman employed by the U. S. Patent Office.Clara Barton was forever changed by her experience with the troops in the Civil War. She saw surgeons dressing wounds with cornhusks（玉米叶）, since they had nothing else. The medical supplies for the Army were well behind the troops, who were moving faster than their medical supply lines. She brought in a wagon of bandages and medical supplies that she had collected personally beforehand.Barton continued to work on the battlefields throughout the war.She helped in the identification process of 13,000 dead Union soldiers. Afterward, she was an important figure in a campaign to identify missing soldiers from the Civil War. This non-stop work debilitated her, and upon recommendation by her physicians, she traveled to Europe to recover herself.While in Europe, and still in poor health Miss Barton was moved by the hardship on civilians brought about by the France-Prussia war. She helped in their relief effort, and in that work she was inspired to create the Red Cross, which served all troops and civilians.Clara Barton returned to America and then began the establishment of the American Red Cross. The US government did not think there would ever be another war, after the horror of the Civil War. But she convinced them that the Red Cross would be valuable to serve in times of natural disasters, as well. This was her lasting legacy（遗产）, an agency that still provides aid to victims today.60. What does this text mainly tell us about?A. The establishment of the American Red Cross.B. A general introduction of Clara Bartons life.C. Clara Bartons contribution to the Red Cross.D. Clara Bartons service in the army.61. Why did Clara give up her job in the free school?A. Because officials didnt make her principal. B. Because she wanted to work in a Patent Office.C. Because she wanted to serve in the army. D. Because she was not satisfied with the pay.62. The underlined word “debilitated” in the third paragraph means . A. rewardedB. satisfiedC. disturbedD. weakened63. What is the greatest contribution made by Clara Barton? A. She set up a free school. B. She collected supplies for the army. C.

Besides, it uses a voice to tell you where the fire is.The alarm is the first UK product from Nest, which is run by iPod-inventor Tony Fadell. The company claims the devices batteries will last for up to seven years. The device will offer a spoken warning before it sounds a major alarm. Also it will use text messages and apps on your phones to alert users to low-level risks.The present smoke alarms constantly alert users to non-existent threats, which will make many users annoyed and finally remove their batteries altogether. “Weve all experienced the smoke alarm going off while were cooking. Sometimes, we need to search for the source of that non-stop low-battery chirp at midnight,” said Fadell. “Therefore, every time a smoke alarm cries wolf, we trust it a little less, and then in a moment of frustration we take the batteries out to stop the beep（嘟嘟声）. And that leaves us and our families at risk.”If the Protect smoke alarms are used, they can be set up in up to ten zones, so that the clear warnings tell users where the risk has been detected.“Safety shouldnt be annoying,” said Matt Rogers, Nest founder and vice president of engineering. “It was unacceptable to us that one in eight houses in the UK has a non-functioning smoke alarm. These products are required by law and are supposed to keep us safe, yet people hate them. We wanted to change that.”68. For what purpose did Nest create the Protect Smoke Alarm?A. To predict low-level fire risks.B. To experiment with a new battery. C. To improve present smoke alarms.D. To avoid the low-battery chirp.69. What did Tony Fadell really want to tell us in Paragraph 3?A. One of his cooking experiences. B. Disadvantages of present smoke alarms.C. His growing distrust of smoke alarms.D. His source of annoyance to crying wolf.70. Which of the following are the advantages of the Protect Smoke Alarm? a. Rechargeable batteries b. A talking smoke alarm c. Longer battery life d. Going off constantly e. Internet connection A. a, b, cB. c, d, eC. a, c, eD. b, c, e71. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. In the UK people seldom set up smoke alarms. B. Matt Rogers didnt like the safety requirements. C. Non-functioning smoke alarms make people annoyed. D. The government should pay attention to safety issues.EI was now in my twenty third year of residence in this island and was accustomed to the place and to the manner of living. If it had not been the savages（野人）who had come to the place to disturb me, I could have been content to spent the rest of my time there, even to the last moment, till I had laid me down and died, like the old goat in the cave.I had also arrived to some little recreations and amusements, which made the time pass more pleasantly with me a great deal than it did beforeAt first, I had taught my Poll to speak. And he did it so familiarly and talked so clearly and plain that it was very pleasant to me. And he lived with me no less than twenty six years. How long he might live afterwards, I dont know; though I know they have an idea in Brazil that they live a hundred years. Perhaps poor Poll may be alive there still, calling Poor Robin Crusoe to this day. I wish no other English ma
