How do you spend your free time during the weeks of summer holiday? Repainting the living room? Or doing exercise classes in the kitchen? For me, I am studying my family tree. But this might surprise you that trees also have families. There are mother trees who support and help feed child trees.According to Suzanne Simard, one of the world's famous tree researchers (研究者), trees should be seen as smart. They communicate with each other.They help each other and can even tell their family trees.
The largest trees in a forest are called mother trees. As they are the biggest, mother trees usually have the longest, most connected roots(根). Researchers found that the parent trees would send more nutrients(营养物) to their offspring than they would to a stranger tree. The offspring can take in more nutrients and do help to their own growth. Many people think trees are just a kind of plant, they don't change behaviors and make decisions, or have their own ideas, but what the researchers find is that they can do all.
Researchers also find dying trees even seem to know the future before they die, they warn their offspring to start making new root connections.
It's certainly going to change how you feel about going for a walk in the woods, with all those smart trees around chatting with each other. Maybe you wonder if they have family meetings.
39. What does the underlined word "offspring"in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Stranger trees. B. Young trees. C. Mother trees. D. Father trees.
40. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Mother trees can live for the longest time. B. Family trees always have a meeting together.
C. Mother trees get nutrients from the offspring. D. Trees have the ability to think and behave.
41. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Trees can communicate in their own way. B. Mother trees will help every tree in the wood.
C. We must protect trees and the environment. D. Family trees share nutrients with each other.

I have taught Spanish (西班牙语) to thousands of students over my thirty - six years at Walpole High School. I have taught the top students before,
and of course, those "troublemakers".
Vinnie entered my classroom as a nervous one on his first day of high school in September. It is the Spanish IA course, a course for students who failed in Spanish I. In fact, Vinnie didn't get a lot of success in Spanish in the middle school. He often went to class unprepared and could not see the point to learning another language. And yet there were other reasons to explain his behaviour. Vinnie was facing the hardest time in his life: the recent divorce(离婚) of his parents, a move from a house to a flat, and the stress of taking care of his younger twin brother.
From the start of my lesson, Vinnie was quite different from other students. He entered class each
day, took his seat quietly and took out what he needed for the lesson. At first he was somewhat shy about answering questions in Spanish, but as the term moving on, he became interested in topics about
his family and his interests. With time Vinnie became more willing to volunteer and even ask me questions. Unlike what we had seen in middle school, Vinnie rarely missed one lesson. On those rare situations that this happened, Vinnie would become very nervous and I had to tell him that he still had a
very good chance at getting an A.
Clearly, Vinnie was beginning to view himself as a student. Furthermore, I was beginning to view him as a model for the other students. He was my "go - to guy" when no one could answer a question.One of my proudest moments as his teacher was to call Vinnie to the stage to praise him for winning the Foreign Language Awards.
42. What did the teacher think of Vinnie at first?
A. He was crazy about the course.
B. He was quite a special student.
C. He had a gift of learning Spanish.
D. He was active in answering questions.
43. Why did Vinnie behave like that in middle school?
A. He wasn't interested in Spanish and had no gift.
B. His teacher didn't spend much time on him.
C. He wasn't happy because of his parents’ divorce.
D. He got some bad manners from other students.
44. What changed Vinnie at last?
A. The support of his family. B. The guide from the teacher.
C. The help from other students. D. The confidence from getting an A.
45. What's the best title of the passage?
A. Lighting the hope of success B. Learning Spanish seriously
C. Achieving success alone D. Being a patient teacher
五、信息还原(共5小题:每小题1分,满分5分)
根据对话内容,从对话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。
For many Chinese families, rice is an important part of almost every meal. Where does rice come from? 46 China has 22% of the world's population(人口), but only 7% of its farmland, so food was a big problem in China in the past. In the 1960s, it was so hard to plant rice because of several natural disasters. 47 Yuan taught farming at school at that time and he was really sad to see this. " 48 "he thought. He decided to work on a kind of hybrid rice(杂交水稻) because it can feed more people.
At the time, other scientists hardly believed hybrid rice had much importance. But Yuan and his team worked on it every day. 49
At last, in 1973, they grew a new type of hybrid rice. Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and even in bad weather. 50 People won't have to stay hungry any more.
Yuan solved the food problem in China. He is the pride of us Chinese.

When Major League Baseball (美国职业棒球大联盟) starts this month, its fans are going to look quite different and they won't be that loud and noisy.
That's because its teams will fill their stands (看台) with cardboard (纸板) of fans. The trend, which we first saw in European soccer leagues,has now made its way to the United States.
When MLB returns after the COVID - 19, fans will not be allowed to watch in the stands. That has made teams look for creative ways to attract more eyes.
One of the teams started this project on Monday. The project allows fans to put their pictures on an 18*30 cardboard and they will have the chance to see their cardboard appear on television. In 24 hours, they said they had already sold 1,000 "season tickets" for the cardboard.
The most exciting thing is that if someone's board gets hit, the team will send the ball to his house. The price of the board is different, but in Oakland, prices start at $49 and go up to $129,depending on the place in the stands.
These boards will be kept in the stands for the whole season and fans will be able to take their boards home as a souvenir (纪念品) when the season ends.
66. Why will the fans be quiet in the stands this year?
67. How do fans feel about the project of using cardboard in the stands?
68. If you have a chance, will you send your picture and pay for the cardboard? Why or why not?
