This was because all botany students had to spend several hours a week in a laboratory looking through a microscope at plant cells, and I could never once see a cell through a microscope. This used to make my professor angry. He would wander around the laboratory pleased with the progress all the students were making in drawing the structure of flower cells, until he came to me. I would just be standing there. “I cant see anything,”I would say. He would begin patiently enough, explaining how anybody can see through a microscope, but he would always end up angrily, claiming that I could too see through a microscope but just pretended that I couldnt. “It takes away from the beauty of flowers anyway.”I used to tell him.“We are not concerned with beauty in this course,”he would say.“We are concerned with the structure of flowers.” “Well,” Id say.“I cant see anything.” “Try it just once again,” hed say, and I would put my eye to the microscope and see nothing at all, except now and again something unclear and milky. “You were supposed to see a clear, moving plant cells shaped like clocks.” “I see what looks like a lot of milk.” I would tell him. This, he claimed, was the result of my not having adjusted the microscope properly, so he would readjust it for me, or rather, for himself. And I would look again and see milk.I failed to pass botany that year, and had to wait a year and try again, or I couldnt graduate. The next term the same professor was eager to explain cell-structure again to his classes. “Well,”he said to me, happily, “were going to see cells this time, arent we?” “Yes,sir,” I said. Students to the right of me and to the left of me and in front of me were seeing cells; whats more, they were . Of course, I didnt see anything. So the professor and I tried with every adjustment of the microscope known to man. With only once did I see anything but blackness or the familiar milk, and that time I saw, to my pleasure and amazement, something like stars. These I hurriedly drew. The professor, noting my activity, came to me, a smile on his lips and his eyebrows high in hope. He looked at my cell drawing. “Whats that?”he asked.“Thats what I saw,”I said.“You didnt, you didnt, you didnt!”he screamed, losing control of himself immediately, and he bent over and looked into the microscope. He raised his head suddenly. “Thats your eye!”he shouted.“Youve adjusted the microscope so that it reflects! Youve drawn your eye!”21Why couldnt the writer see the flower cells through the microscope? A. Because he had poor eyesight. B. Because the microscope didnt work properly. C. Because he was not able to adjust the microscope properly. D. Because he was just playing jokes on his professor by pretending not to have seen it.22What does the writer mean by “his eyebrows high in hope”in the last paragraph? A. His professor expected him to have seen the cells and drawn the picture of them. B. His professor hoped he could perform his task with attention. C. His professor wished him to learn how to draw pictures. D. His professor looked forward to seeing all his students finish their drawings.23What is the thing like stars that the writer saw in the last paragraph? A. Real starsB. His own eyeC. Something unknownD. Milk24In what writing style did the writer write the passage? A. RealisticB. RomanticC. SeriousD. HumorousBDo you scream on a roller coaster ride? You slowly climb up a steep slope until an almost vertical drop, and then. Ahh! Thrill-seekers like me are in luck because theme parks are pushing the boundaries of technology to create the fastest, tallest, scariest roller coasters the world has ever known. Alton Towers in Britain opened the worlds first 14-1oop roller coaster a few months ago, called The Smiler. Over in Abu Dhabi, Ferrari World claims to have the worlds fastest one. Ferrari Worlds Formula Rossa ride sends out passengers from 0-240km/h in just 4. 9 seconds. During this rapid acceleration they experience G-forces only fighter pilots usually feel: Up to 4. 8G. The designer of several rides at Alton Towers, said: While we can stand 6-8Gs for very short periods of time, ff we experience 5G for more than five seconds were likely to black out. On modern roller coasters passengers experience about 3G in tight turns and loops. But while we may have reached the limit in terms of G-forces, there is no technological limit to how fast or how high roller coasters can go-its all down to money. Alton Towers The Smiler cost 18m to build. Some companies are finding other ways to keep us amused. Theres a move towards indoor rides where the experience is improved by audio-visual technologies. For example, a company called Dynamic Structures is currently developing a coal-mine-themed ride for a client in Dubai that will combine speed and G-forces with 3D projection effects and robotics, which will trick your brain into thinking youre really falling. I cant wait to enjoy this one. What about you: Do you like being upside down?25. The underlined phrase black out in the second paragraph probably means _ A. stop breathing B. lose consciousness for a short time C. lose memory forever D. bleed to death26We can learn from the passage that _ A. all the theme parks are creating the fast roller coasters B. the Smiler sends out passengers from 0-240km/h in just 4.9 seconds C. it is unusual for fighter pilots to feel up to 4.8G D. the more the money is spent, the faster the roller coaster can go27What is the best title for the passage? A. The Fastest Roller Coaster B. The Smiler and G-forcesC. Screaming for Fun D. The New TechnologyCWe know that sugary sodas arent good for our bodies. Now it turns out that they may not be good for our minds, either. A new study of more than 260,000 people has found a link between sweetened soft-drinks and depression, and diet sodas may be making matters worse.Americans drink far more sodas than people in other countries as much as 170 liters per person per year. But the impact of this study isnt limited to the United States. “Sweetened drinks, coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical consequences. And they may have important mental-health consequences as well,” study author Dr Honglei Chen said in a statement.The study studied 263,925 people between the ages of 50 and 71. Researchers followed their consumption of drinks like soda, tea coffee, and other soft drinks from 1995 to 1996 and then. 10 years later, asked them if they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. More than 11,3000 of them had.Participants who drank more than four servings of sodas per day were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than participants who did not drink sodas at all. People who stuck with fruit punch(鸡尾酒), had a 38 percent higher risk than people who didnt drink sweetened drinks. And all that extra sugar isnt the actual problem. Researchers say that the artificial sweetener aspartame may be to blame.The study found a link but could not surely determine whether sodas and other sweet soft drinks cause depression. Still, the results “are consistent with a small but growing body of evidence suggesting that artificially sweetened beverages may be linked to poor health outcomes.”But theres a bright side for those who cant live without their daily sodas. Adults who drank coffee had a 10 percent lower risk of depression compared to people who didnt drink any coffee, according to the study. “Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk,” said Chen.28What has the new study of more than 260,000 people found?A. Sugary sodas arent good for the physical health of old people.B. Americans have a special tooth for sweet foods.C. Sweetened soft-drinks may increase the risk of depression.D. Sweetened soft-drinks have important physical consequences.29What do we know about the process of the study?A. About twenty-six thousand people participated in it.B. The oldest participants were below 80 when the study was over.C. Most of the participants had depression when the study was over.D. The study lasted more than ten years from the beginning to the end.30It is implied in the passage that _.A. more research is needed to confirm the new findingsB. the new findings arent consistent with any previous findingsC. cutting ones sodas intake will surely reduce ones depressionD. the new findings wont have an impact on peoples drinking habits31What should you drink in order to reduce the risk of depression?A.Sodas. B.Unsweetened coffee.C.Sugary coffee. D.Fruit punch.DBrazil is a federation that consists of twenty-six states and one federal district. The biggest majority of Brazils population belongs to the Christian religion and almost all of them are Catholics. This is something Brazil inherited being Portugals colony.Historically, the country was a colony claimed by people from Portugal and this made Portuguese the official language. The Portuguese reached Brazil in 1500 and until that moment it was inhabited by semi-nomadic(半游牧的) people. The Portuguese changed Brazil into a country of slaves until 1800, when Maria I of Portugal came to live in Brazil. The Queen did not stay long in Brazil, but during the 20 years of royal presence a lot of changes occurred: commercial ports to United Kingdom were opened; Brazil stopped being isolated from other countries. So at the moment of getting the independence on the 7th of September, 1822, Brazil already had the potential to develop. The Brazilian Empire, Pedro I, abolished slavery in 1888 in the face of Princess Isabel. A lot of European people started coming to Brazil and the industry of the country started working. In the 19th and the 20th century as it has been said above foreign people immigrated to Brazil and basically 5 million European and Japanese people became the residents of Brazil. The beginning of the 20th century was especially marked by the immigration of a lot of Asian people: Japanese, Korean and Chinese immigrants. As a matter of fact Japanese people do not immigrate a lot, and the fact that the Brazilian-Japanese people are the largest Japanese minority in the world does astonish greatly.The majority of the cultural inherits of Brazil are actually Portuguese, due to the fact that Brazil was Portugals colony for a very long time. The southern states mainly consist of European population and the north and the northeast consist of a mixed population including Africans, Amerindians and Europeans. Most of this population is Roman Catholic. No other country in the world has the same amount of Catholics. The modern tendency of Brazil is the growing number of people calling themselves Protestants. Around 7.4% of the population dont believe any god. Some Brazilians, especially in the northern states are mixed Africans who prefer following the traditional African religions. Only 1.8% of the population chose Buddhism, Islam or Judaism.Though Brazil always tried to maintain democracy, it was failed several times by the dictatorship（独裁） of Getulo Vargas. This fact could not affect the political situation in the country.32. Brazil was ruled by Portuguese about _. A. 22 years B. 300 years C. 322 years D. 328 years33. Who might block the development of Brazil?A. Maria I B. Pedro I C. immigrants D. Getulo Vargas34. The writer mainly tells us the _ of Brazil in the passage.A.
