As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. Second, I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I'll think about that tomorrow.41. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?A. A lot of care and the right soil.B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.C. Tomato plants grown alongside.D. Cages placed around the roots.42. The writer planted the tomato because __________.A. it cost only $1.25B. the soil was just right for itC. there was room for it in the gardenD. the roses' branches needed to be covered43. This year the writer's roses were __________.A. removed from the rose bedB. picked along with the tomatoesC. mostly damaged by too much sunlightD. largely hidden under the tomato plant44. By saying "the prize so dearly won" in paragraph 5, the writer wants to __________.A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoesB. show the hardship of growing the rosesC. express her liking for the rosesD. express her care for the tomatoes45. In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that __________.A. the roses cost the writer little moneyB. the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoesC. someone will help the writer make the decisionD. the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoesBIf there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls' poor performance in science and mathematics?It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause. Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for boys, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them. Interestingly, both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine (女性的)and attractive.However, if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses, there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls. This difference appears to be world-wide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other explanations too.Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers.Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and science courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.46. Girls are likely to think that ________.A. science courses are for both boys and girlsB. science courses make them more popularC. science courses make them successfulD. science courses are difficult for them47. The text mainly discusses ________ reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements.A. biologicalB. historicalC. socialD. personal48. What are boys usually encouraged to do at school?A. To get help with their homework.B. To play the leading role in class.C. To work with girl students in class.D. To learn to take care of others.49. What does the passage say about great mathematicians?A. Their teachers did not supply answers to them.B. They started learning mathematics at an earlier age,C. They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.D. Their success resulted from their strong interest in mathematics.50. The author would probably agree that ________.A. boys and girls learn in the same wayB. boys and girls are equal in general intelligenceC. girls are more confident in themselves than beforeD. girls should take fewer science courses than boysCThe professor's house, big and untidy, stood alone at one end of a huge garden. The place was totally uncared for, quite wild and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I fought my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.I was glad that I had found him. In twenty minutes he put me right on all the points that had puzzled me. As I got ready to leave, I looked out of his study window and said, "You're very fond of gardening, I see.""No, I'm not." he said. "But even so, I love this garden. It's as I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.""It could be made lovely. It seems a pity to let all this ground to go to waste. But perhaps you don't see it that way?""I don't. I lived here when I was a child, and I had more than enough of gardening then. It was my father's hobby, you see. Unfortunately, he wasn't fit enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us with a spade and a fork year after year, There was one right way andmany wrong ways. Each blade (叶片) of life was an enemy to be rooted out by hand, not just cut off. I've spent a good part of life at work here.""I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you're getting even!""I disliked it. That's putting it mildly (温和地). Then, of course, I didn't understand the effect it had. It used to worry me. It appeared in my dreams, a mistake here, something not quite straight there, the enemy showing its head in a place I was supposed to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.""And now it's yours, you're just letting it go to …""Ruin?" he said. "No, I don't agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like watching it grow in its own way. I make no demands on it. I never interfere with it, and it never interferes with me. It has freedom at last, and so have I.""But the path is overgrown. It's inconvenient for you, isn't it?""That's part of my pleasure," he laughed. "You can go out along the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don't get the sun."51.
