    C
    A blow-fly was looking for an ideal place like rotting meat to lay her eggs so that when her little babies were born, they could feed on the meat.
    As she turned a corner in the grassland, she smelt something that smells like rotten meat in the air! With a great joy she landed on it and laid her eggs. She was happy that her children would have enough food to eat.
    But the fly did not know she had made a great mistake. What she had sat upon was not meat but a flower, which smells badly. It is called a carrion flower. So, when the blow-fly’s eggs hatched and the little maggots（蛆）came out, they had nothing to eat. They died of starvation.
    The carrion flower is one of the many flowers which send out dirty smells to attract flies. The Rafflesia stinks like rotting meat, while the tropical Lords and Ladies flower gives out a smell like rotting fish.
    They do it for a special reason. These plants cannot move from their place. But it is important for the male cell of one plant to get in touch with the female cell of another plant. Once that is done, the seed of the plant will bloom and give birth to another plant.
    The plant uses its stink to attract flies. As soon as the blow-fly sits on the follower, it is captured by the flower with strong hair. When the hair falls, the fly is free to fly- but it takes some pollen（花粉） with it. And goes and sits on another plant. The male cell of one plant meets the female cell of the other. The seed gets new life.
    64. Why did the fly land on something smelly?
    A. She was too careless before her bearing.       B. She liked the particular smell very much
    C. She hoped to find some food for her babies.    D. She couldn’t find a better place for delivery.
    65. The little maggots finally died because_________.
    A. they were born too weak             B. they lacked food available
    C. carrion flower were poisonous         D. their mother didn’t take care of them
    66. Flowers like carrion flower and Rafflesia naturally smell terrible so that_________.
    A. they need insects to spread their pollen     B. they succeed in producing more seeds
    C. their seeds can be carried to other places    D. they can manage to absorb more nutrients
    67. What is the best title of the text?
    A. Dirty Tricks        B. Smelly Plants   C. A strange Flower   D. Secrets of Nature.

    There's a man in the habit of hitting me on the head with an umbrella.At first I couldn't stand it；now I'm used to it.

    　　 I don't know his name.I know he's average in appearance，wears a gray suit，and has a common face.One hot morning，when I was sitting on a tree?shaded bench in Palermo Park，reading the paper，suddenly I felt something touch my head.It was the very same man who now，as I'm writing，keeps striking me with an umbrella.

    　　 On that occasion I turned around filled with anger.He just kept on hitting me.I asked him if he was crazy.He didn't even seem to hear me.Then I threatened to call a policeman.Calmly，cool as a cucumber，he stuck with his task.After a few moments of hesitation，and seeing that he was not about to change his attitude，I stood up and hit him on the nose.The man fell down.But he immediately got back on his feet，obviously with great effort，and without a word again began hitting me on the head with the umbrella.His nose was bleeding and，at that moment，I felt sorry for him.I felt regret for having hit him so hard.After all，the man wasn't exactly hitting me；he was merely tapping me lightly with his umbrella，not causing any pain at all.Of course，those taps were extremely bothersome.As we all know，when a fly lands on your forehead，you don't feel any pain；what you feel is annoyance.Well then，that umbrella was one huge fly that kept landing on my head time after time.

    　　 Convinced that I was dealing with a madman，I tried to escape.But the man followed me，wordlessly continuing to hit me.So I began to run(I should point out many people run as fast as I do)．He took off after me，trying to land a blow.The man was out of breath so that I thought，if I continued to force him to run at that speed，he would drop dead right then and there.

    1．When the man began to strike the author with an umbrella，the author________.

    A．became angry

    B．called the police

    C．turned around and escaped

    D．turned around and fought back

    2．The author would most probably agree that the man was

    ________.

    A．deaf 　　　　 B．blind

    C．dead 　　　　 D．mad

    3．The author felt sorry for the man because________.

    A．the man formed a bad habit of beating others

    B．he hit the man so hard that his nose bled

    C．the man couldn't catch up with him

    D．there was a fly on the man's head

    4．It can be learned from the passage that the man ________.

    A．shouted loudly while hitting the author

    B．wanted to tell the author something

    C．ran after the anthor breathlessly

    D．acted as if he were a fly

    When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer than most of the adults in our community.
    　　When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres, and his life’s goal was to make it a forest.
    　　The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out(淘汰) the weaker trees early on.
    He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture. I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
    　　So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he’d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
    Dr. Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re extremely tall, big and robust since they have deep roots now. However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.
    It seems that adversity(逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could. I stood there deep in thought.
    　　Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies, the rising and falling of life within. I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think it’s time to change my prayer(祷词) because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship..
    【小题1】According to Dr. Gibbs’ theories, trees will become weaker if they______

    A．are lack of careB．are wateredC．are weeded outD．are beaten
    【小题2】.According to Para.3 and Pare.4, we can infer that Dr. Gibbs’moto（座右铭）may be_____
    A．“seeing is believing”B．“Put everything in proper use”
    C．”Practice makes perfect”D．“No pains, no gains”
    【小题3】.The underlined word robust in Para.5 most probably means______
    A．strongB．strangeC．deepD．old
    【小题4】 Which of the following may be the author’s best prayer for his two sons now ?
    A．I wish them strong wings, with which they can fly higher and touch the sky.
    B．I wish them nice fortune so that they can meet people like Dr. Gibbs in the future.
    C．I wish them deep roots into the earth since the rains fall and the winds blow often.
    D．I wish them great shades under the tree since the sunlight is always sharp and bitter.
    【小题5】 Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
    A．A Nice DoctorB．The Deep Roots
    C．Adversity and SufferingD．My Childhood Memory
