To do so we need to have proper knowledge about gardening and its requirements so that we can use proper resources without wasting any of them.In today's busy life we don't get much time to spend on our environment. Gardening gives us a chance to do so. We can also have some pesticide-free and fresh food if we grow them in our garden. This is the right time to do some good to protect our own environment and gardening is one of the easiest ways. Do you want to start gardening, but you're not sure how?

To start with, the Telenoid will be trained to follow the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer, and to connect music with different emotional states. Chella then plans to see if the robot can use these connections to create music.Intelligence is often regarded as the ability to find connections between the existing things. But Chella suggests that a conscious(有意识的) creature should be able to go a step further and introduce new connections that result in the creation of something new.Some jazz musicians say that they should have a mental library of musical phrases so that they are able to combine them in new ways. More importantly, however, this combination happens in a state that is similar in a sense to dreaming. Chellawants to copy these states in a machine.“This work raises interesting questions about the link between consciousness and music making,” says Philippe Pasquier, a musician and computer scientist. But he is skeptical about whether a robot musician needs a physical body.Pasquier argues that the robots are faced with two challenges(挑战). Software that can copy Bach has already been developed. But interpretation（演绎）includes human's different tastes and judgments. “What ma de the Beatles famous was not so much their works, but the fact that the interpretations of the works were wonderful,” he says.It is not yet clear how a robot would go about interpreting music in a new way. But by copying humans and then learning to sing, Chella's robot could provide clues.What seems to be important is that human composers often listen to lots of music made by others. So Chella's robot had better listen to those jazz standards first.1.（1） Which of the following is the robot's first step before ittries to create jazz?A . Living with human beings in harmony.B . Connecting actions with human's emotions.C . Copying a human singer's movements and sounds.D . Learning to communicate with human beings freely.2.（2）The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 5 couldbe replaced by .A . doubtful.B . worried.C . certain.D . concerned.3.（3） What can we know about the robots like Telenoidfrom the text?A . They are household robots.B . They can talk with researchers.C . They are faced with two challenges.D . They will become human singers.4.（4） What can be concluded from the text?A . Chella's robot needs a physical body to make music.B . How to interpret jazz is a piece of cake for Chella's robot.C . A new kind of software should be developed to copy Bach.D . Chella's robot should listen to much jazz to create something new.二、任务型阅读5. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a vo ice say, “Can you hel p me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. In a natural reflex, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and s aid, “I d on’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”In a moment, I realized what I had done. I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. This incident re- awakened my belief in humility (谦恭), even though I’d lost it for a moment.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in the U.S. at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, serious-minded mother. Throughthe years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver amongmany other humble jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice (偏见). I remember a time, at age 17 —I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. I have also witnessed the same treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets of Washington, D.C., cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open. By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. And in writing this essay, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.56. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that_. A. the author was a native AmericanB. the blind woman needed the money badlyC. theauthor was as poor as the blind woman D. the authorregretted his act of prejudice57. According to Paragraph 4, hearing the father’s words, the author was probably_.A. rather hurtB. very excitedC. greatly inspiredD. deeply moved58. Which opinion does the author agree with?A. One should try to experience different kinds of life.B. One should think about one’s past as often as possible.C. Oneshould treat others equally with love and respect.D. One should be nice to the elderly and the disabled.59. Why does the author say he is thankful to the blind woman at the end of the passage?A. She has made him value what he has right now.B. Shehas reminded him of the past experiences.C. He has got a chance to think about his past and future because of her.D. He hasregained his belief in humility with her help.60. What can be the best title for the passage? A.How my dream comes trueB. A priceless lesson in the streetC.A Belief that will never change D.Learn from your pastBWhile famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize --- which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture ---on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves (曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements.Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that traditions once existed,” he sa id.“Many Chinese people have a misunde rstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being creat ed, ”he said.“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are,” said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined, with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.61. Wang's winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are .A. following the latest world trendB. getting international recognitionC. working harder than ever beforeD. relying on foreign architects62. What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A. Its hilly environment.B. Its large size.C. Its unique style.D. Its diverse functions63. The Xiangshan campus of the CAA in Hangzhou is also a green project because.A. it used more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different agesB. it has complex architectural space and abundant building typesC. the curves of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hillsD. it’s full of modern and traditional Chinese elements64. What made Wang’s architectural design a success?A. The mixture of different shapes.B. The harmony of old and new.C. The use of popular technique.D. The balance of complexity and simplicity.65. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang Shu?A. Spreading them to the world.B. Preserving them at museums.C. Teaching them in universities.D. Recreating them in practice.CThere has long been a notion (观念) that money buys happiness. However, although "we really, really tried that for a couple of generations, it didn't work," said Francine Jay, author of The Joy of Less, A Minimalist Living Guide: How to Clear, Organize, and Simplify Your Life.Thanks to a travel-inspired revelation (启发), Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12years. "I always packed as lightly as possible, and found it exciting to get by with just a small carry-on bag," she told CNN. " I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly, how amazing would it be to live this way? I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life."Jay decided to get rid of all her excess (额外的) possessions and live with just the essentials (必需品). "I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences, rather than things."Jay is a follower of a movement called "minimalism (极简主义)". Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world. They share the same feeling of disappointment with modern life and a desire to live more simply. Minimalists are typically progressive (开明的) and concerned about the environment, Leah Watkins, a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand, told Stuff magazine in March.But many simply experienced unhappiness caused by owning too many possessions. Depression with the materialism of our world isn't new. Englishromantic poet William Wordsworth summed up how dispiriting (令人消沉的) thiswas back in 1802, at the beginning of the industrial age, when he wrote: "Getting and spending, we lay waste on our powers". His preference was to go back to nature. Closer to our own times, the hippies (嬉皮士) of the 1960s also sought to “drop out” of modem life.And for many minimalists, their key is to unload. Without objects, they "believe people are forced more and more into the present moment and that's where lifehappens," wrote Stuff.But does simplicity ever feel like a sacrifice (牺牲)?"It's eliminating the excess - unused items, unnecessary purchases - from your life. Well, Imay have fewer possessions, but I have more space … Minimalism is making room for whatmatters most," said Jay.And "the real questions", according to Duane Elgin, US social scientist, are"what do you care about?" and "What do you value?"He told CNN: "It's important for people to realize minimalism isn't simply the amount ofstuff we consume. It's about our families, our work, our connection with the larger world, ourspiritual dimension. It's about how we touch the whole world. It's a way of life."66. What was the author's main purpose in writing the passage? A. Toexplore the trend of minimalism.B. To give tips on how to lead a happy life.C. To argue whether money buys happiness.D. T o recommend one of Francine Jay's books.67. What inspired Francine Jay to live a simple life? A. Abook she came across.B. Her desire to keep up with modem life.C. The pleasure she enjoyed from traveling lightly.D. Afollower of minimalism she met on a trip.68. According to Leah Watkins, a typical minimalist tends to _.a. be fed up with materialismb. like saving and visiting natureoften c. be angry about his or her current life d. be environmentally friendly and livewith fewer thingsA. a, bB. a, dC. a, b, cD. b, c, d69. The underlined word "eliminating" in Paragraph 8 probably means . A. removing B. distinguishing C. acc70. Which of the following would Duane Elgin probably agree with?A. Minimalism is a healthy lifestyle that is in conflict with modern life.B. Minimalism limits people's freedom to enjoy their lives to the fullest.C. Minimalism enables people to reflect on what truly counts in their lives.D.Minimalism means people have to sacrifice some pleasure to live simply.DOne day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeatmy strange problem — inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Child r en’s Room.” I s at down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to m y dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother’s call ret urned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction.
