However, it always confused him how to expand the output of his crops. This disturbing problem led to his regretting being a farmer. He would rather have chosen another job.One day, when skimming through a newspaper, Tuan read a comment on Yuan Longpin. He underlined Yuan’s nationality and occupation, and then focused on his discovery and the statistics of his research. He found the knowledge Yuan circulated very practical. Therefore, he made a summary and began to build up a new farming method. He planted super grain of rich nutrition and equipped himself to keep his crops roots free from bacteria and pests. He also enriched minerals in the soil while reducing chemical fertilizers. Though it cost him more time and freedom, he was full of hope.The next year, Tuan was sunburnt but satisfied with his production very much. Thanks to Yuan Longpin, he not only won the battle against hunger, but he could also export his crops abroad.新的耕种方式俊是一名越南的农民，几十年来，他都一直在努力使家人摆脱饥饿。

Then her garden gave her the idea for a business: She'd planted 20 bamboo forests on their sevenacre farm.Heinr icher started BooShoot Gardens in 1998. She realized early on what is just now beginning to be known to the rest of the world. It can be used to make fishing poles, skateboards, buildings, furniture, floors, and even clothing. An added bonus: Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbondioxide as a group of hardwood trees and releases 35 percent more oxygen.First she had to find a way to massproduce the plants—a tough task, since bamboo flowers create seed only once every 50 to 100 years. And dividing a bamboo plant frequently kills it.Heinricher appealed to Randy Burr, a tissue culture expert, to help her.“People kept telling us we'd never figure it out，” says Heinricher.“Others had worked on it for 27 years! I believed in what we were doing, though, so I just kept going.”She was right to feel a sense of urgency. Bamboo forests are being rapidly used up, and a United Nations report showed that even though bamboo is highly renewable,_as many as half of the world's species are threatened with dying out.Heinricher knew that bamboo could make a significant impact on carbon emissions(排放)and world economies, but only if huge numbers could be produced. And that's just what she and Burr figured out after nine years of experiments—a way to grow millions of plants. By placing cuttings in test tubes with salts, vitamins, plant hormones, and seaweed gel, they got the plants to grow and then raised them in soil in greenhouses.Not long after it, Burr's lab hit financial difficulties. Heinricher had no experience running a tissue culture operation, but she wasn't prepared to quit. So she bought the lab.Today Heinricher heads up a profitable multimilliondollar company, working on species from all over the world and selling them to wholesalers(批发商). “If you want to farm ba mboo, it's hard to do without the young plants, and that's what we have，” she says proudly.11．What was the main problem with planting bamboo widely?A．They didn't have enough young bamboo.B．They were short of money and experience.C．They didn't have a big enough farm to do it.D．They were not understood by other people.12．What does Heinricher think of bamboo?A．Fragile and affordable.B．Productive and flexible.C．Useful and earthfriendly.D．Strong and profitable.13．The underlined word “renewable” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”．A．able to be replaced naturallyB．able to be raised difficultlyC．able to be shaped easilyD．able to be recycled conveniently14．What do you learn from the passage?A．Heinricher's love for bamboo led to her experiments in the lab.B．Heinricher's determination helped her to succeed in her work.C．Heinricher struggled to prevent bamboo from disappearing.D．Heinricher finally succeeded in realizing her childhood dream.BAll over my garden I've planted nothing but roses, because I especially love the flower.A close friend came for a visit the other day. I told her that she should pick a bunch of roses to beautify her bedroom. I promised that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away.That girl friend of mine, walking into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end she didn't pick a single rose. I said that she could pick many flowers; I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn't make a living out of them. Saying so, I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no!To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said. With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told me that by no means should they be cut. Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so ironhearted as to destroy such a charming smile?My mind was shocked: the ugly earth, the tough earth, the plain earth—it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people.15．The writer plants nothing but roses in her garden probably because ________.A．she can make money out of themB．her friends like themC．she enjoys the roses very muchD．the roses sell well16．The underlined word “wafted” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”．A．given off B．lostC．destroyed D．thrown away17．Why did the writer's close friend refuse to pick a single rose?A．Because the roses were not beautiful.B．Because she loved the roses very much.C．Because she did not like this kind of roses.D．Because the writer did not want to give her any.18．What is the best title for the passage?A．The Pity of People to the RosesB．A Lover of FlowersC．A Lovely Rose GardenD．The Smiling Face of the EarthⅢ.完成句子阅读下列各小题，根据每句后的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。

Ⅰ.阅读理解Do you want to improve your memory？Are you struggling to remember names and faces as you get older？Try picking up the phone and speaking to someone.Scientists have found that holding a simple conversation could be just as effective as playing popula r ‘braintraining’ games that have reproduced a multimillion pound industry.Researchers compared 36 studies on memory exercises performed between 1970 and 2007.Some studies suggested both healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment (轻度认知缺陷)could remember words better after some memory training.However，other studies found this improvement was matched by those who were asked to hold a discussion about art.The finding that social interaction could be just as effective at keeping memory loss at bay comes after Age Concern warned more than a million people aged over 65 lived alone in their own homes.The charity warned solitary lifestyles were a ‘silent epidemic (静默的流行病)’spreading through the nation quickly.Dr Martin said most people experienced a cognitive decline in old age.This can include memory loss and inability to plan，pay close attention or perform tasks as quickly as before.The normal rate of decline seems to speed up in some people，leading to a condition called mild cognitive impairment，which some researchers see as a reason for developing mental diseases later in life.Although several studies have suggested that braintraining exercises could delay signs of cognitive decline，the studies and the types of training have many different kinds.The findings do not mean that longer，more intense or different exercises might not be effective，but that those which have been reported thus far have only limited effect.Dr Martin concluded researchers needed to improve the way they used their studies to eventually determine ways of preventing cognitive decline in old age.1．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A．People should play more ‘braintraining’ games.B．Training has a great effect on our health.C．Having a conversation can improve memoryD．People have no ways to improve memory【解析】段落大意题。
