12．Whether we're 2 years old or 62，our reasons for lying are mostly the same：to get out of trouble，for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others．But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child's lie is different from an adult's lie，and how the way we deceive changes as we grow．
"Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed．Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars，"says Dr．Lee，a professor at the University of Toronto and director of the Institute of Child Study．He has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older，why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying．The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage．Dr．Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras．Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy，which is put behind the child's back．Whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape．
For young kids，the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments．When the test-giver returns to the room，the child is asked if he or she looked secretly．At age 2，about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn't．By 3，half of kids will lie，and by 4，that figure is 90%，studies show．
Researchers have found that it's kids with better understanding abilities who lie more．That's because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind，which includes many brain processes，such as combining several sources of information and faking that information．The ability to lie-and lie successfully-is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called"executive functioning"，or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities．Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more．
62．What's the purpose of children telling lies？B
A．To help their friends out．
B．To get rid of trouble．
C．To get attention from others．
D．To create a popular image．
63．The underlined word"deceive"in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by"B"．
A．handle troubles                                       
B．tell lies  
C．raise questions                                   
D．do research
64．From the second paragraph we can know thatC．
A．which factors can reduce lying
B．why some lie more than others
C．it is normal for kids to tell lies
D．how lying changes as kids grow
65．What is NOT included in the passage？A
A．What to do with lying children．
B．Which kind of kids tells more lies．
C．Experiments about lying of young kids．
D．The reasons why kids tell lies．

3．As with any house guests，indoor plants require a certain amount of basic，regular attention if they are going to feel at home．The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed．
     A general rule for most plants being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit，a position out of cold air，safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight．
     Plants love company．When plants are growing together，they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions．A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement．There is no secret to this．Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony．
     Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood，but，again，if you follow a few simple rules，your plants should do well．Cold slightly warm water is therefore the answer．It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom．Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals-it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering．
The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October，and during this time，the established ones will benefit from regular feeding．This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer（肥料） at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength．It is important，however，to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive，when the soil in the pot is dry，or too soon after the plants has been potted up．
28．In Paragraph 2，the author mainly tells us toD．
A．buy plants that help clean indoor air         
B．create a new environment with plants
C．put plants on the sunny side of the room      
D．make sure of suitable conditions for plants
29．What's the benefit of plants growing together？C
A．It provides owners good company．
B．It makes it convenient to look after them．
C．It helps the air around them slightly wet．
D．It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture．
30．While watering the plants，what should we remember to do？A
A．Use water that is a little warm．
B．Pour the water into the pot holder．
C．Give small amount of water at one time．
D．Consider further watering in wet weather．
31．What is the best time to feed the plants？C
A．When the soil is dry．
B．When the temperature is high．
C．When their growth is active．
D．When they have just been planted．

20．Imagine entering a very large building and you have no idea how to get to the office you are looking for．But then，as you're standing there，a nearly silent balloon floats（飄） over to you and speaks to you．It asks you where you want to go．You tell it，and then it simply says"follow me"like a child's game，and begins to float off in the direction of your destination．It keeps going，as you follow，leading you to where you want to go．
The guide works itself，without any help from any human being．It says hello to people as they arrive in the building，speaks to them，processes their requests and then guides them to the destination．
The balloon has two tiny fans to help keep it floating and to provide just a touch of lift．Onboard is a wireless （無線的） receiver for receiving directions from a computer that directs the fans and sensors （傳感器） that let it know where objects are around it．
The idea of such a simple robot is one that has been on the minds of scientists for years，and has been mentioned in novels many times．Today the iPhone does something similar but has to be connected to the Internet which is sometimes difficult．This is why this little balloon might be the wave of the future-because it is so much easier to follow!

29．The balloon is used toA．
A．lead the way        B．bring people joy
C．catch the thief     D．welcome the visitors
30．The balloon gets to know its position with the help ofA．
A．sensors        
B．two tiny fans
C．a(chǎn) wireless receiver    
D．human beings
31．We can learn from the last paragraph thatD．
A．the idea of the balloon is new
B．the balloon is difficult to make
C．the balloon will replace the iPhone soon
D．the technology may become popular in the future
32．The text is most probably from aA．
A．science news report 
B．newspaper ad
C．book review

17．DAD was always full of advice，but one of the biggest lessons he taught me one summer was about having a strong work ethic （道德）．When my brother and I were growing up，we mowed （修剪） yards during the summer to earn pocket change．Dad was our salesman．He told our neighbors about our service and offered a price they could not refuse．My brother and I got﹩10 （64yuan） per yard．I later found out that our friends were charging﹩20or more for the same amount of work．
Every time we headed out to mow lawns，Dad was there to watch．I used to wonder why he came with us．He stood supervising （監(jiān)督） our work in the heat when he could have been inside relaxing with air conditioning and an icy drinking
One day we were cutting our next-door neighbor's yard．She always waited until the grass was knee-high to call us over．To make matters worse，we had an old lawn mower．This particular afternoon，I was finishing up and was tired and sweaty．
I was just about to cut off the lawn mower when I saw Dad pointing to one piece of grass．He yelled："You missed a piece．"
I frowned，hoping he would let it slide and let me go home．He kept pointing．So，tired and disappointed，I went back to cut that piece of grass．I mumbled to myself："That one piece isn't hurting anyone．Why won't he just let it go？"
But when I reached adulthood，I understood his message：When you're running a business，the work you do says a great deal about you．If you want to be seen as an entrepreneur （企業(yè)家） with integrity （誠實(shí)），you must deliver a quality product．That single blade of grass meant the job was not done．
Other neighbors took notice of the good work we did and we soon got more business．We started out with one client （客戶），but by the end of the summer we had five．

48．What lesson did the author learn from his dad？A
A．Being an honest person．
B．Being strict with oneself．
C．How to earn pocket change．
D．How to provide a quality product．
49．When the author worked on the neighbor's yard，C．
A．he was too tired to finish
B．he complained loudly about the tall grass
C．his father insisted on him being thorough
D．his father only appeared at the end for an inspection
50．When the author became an adult，he recognized thatC．
A．he should go to his father more often for advice
B．his father didn't believe he could do his best
C．the product you deliver shows the face of your business
D．low prices and quality service are key to successful businesses
51．From the text，we can infer thatC．
A．the author always followed his father's advice
B．the author decided to be a salesman just like his father

4．A．Control of Respiration
B．Basic Tips for Preserving Cut Flowers
C．Role of Respiration
D．Most Important Aspect of Flower Care
E．Need for Clean Water
F．Ways of Stopping Respiration
（61）B
While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around his house，few people know how to keep them for as long as possible．This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts．The key to keeping fresh cut flowers for a week or more without floral preservatives （which contain biocides that kill bacteria and fungus） is to keep the water fresh and the stems free of air pockets so they can continue to draw up water．
（62）D
An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature．For example，studies have shown that cut carnations （康乃馨） retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12℃than when kept at 26℃．Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care．
（63）C
Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long．Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects，such as bees，for pollination （授粉）．After that，they quickly dry up and die．The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide，called respiration （呼吸），generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and color．The making of seeds also depends on this energy．While all living things respire，flowers have a high level of respiration．A result of all this respiration is heat，and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high．Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower．Thus the greater the level of respiration，the sooner the flower dies．
（64）A
How，then，to control the rate at which flowers die？By controlling respiration．How is respiration controlled？By controlling temperature．We know that respiration produces heat，but the reverse is also true．Thus by maintaining low temperatures，respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly．
（65）E
Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed．Flowers find it difficult to"drink"water that is dirty or otherwise polluted．Even when water looks and smells clean，it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers．To rid the water of these unwanted substances，household chlorine bleach （含氯漂白劑） can be used in small quantities．It is recommended that 15drops of chlorine bleach （at 4% solution） be added to each liter of water．The water and solution should also be replaced each day．

1．Scientists in Colombia have trained a team of rats to help remove land mines from the countryside．Land mines are small bombs（炸彈） hidden in the ground and designed to explode（爆炸） when someone steps on them．
When trained，the rats can smell special metals in the mines and then signal（發(fā)信號(hào)） to their human team．Then why use rats for such an important job？
In the past，dogs have been used to find bombs．Rats have a good sense of smell and can respond to orders，just like dogs do．But rats are much lighter than dogs．They stand less of a chance of setting off the mines，which explode under a certain amount of weight．What's more，the best rats are cheaper to keep than dogs．It costs about the same amount of money to take care of one dog as it does 70rats．
The rats have already been used in Tanzania，an African country with many land mines．Luisa Fernanda Méndez and her team in Colombia are training the even lighter Wistar rats．These are the white rats with red eyes that scientists often use in laboratory experiments．"They even train their babies to perform their jobs，which saves us a lot of time，"Méndez said．
Colombia has the second-highest rate（比率） of deaths from land mine accidents in the world．Last year，land mines killed 695people-56of whom were children．A criminal（犯罪的）group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia，or FARC，as well as other organizations，have placed the mines．FARC are strongly against Colombia's government．The group has placed mines all around its own bases and in many places in the countryside．
In the past，the Colombian government hired peasants and poor farmers to find mines．Many of them died trying to find the well-hidden bombs．
Colombian police official Erick Guzmán hopes the team of rats can come to the rescue（援救）．"These rats will be a great help，"he said．
32．How do rats help to find land mines？C
A．By their special sight．
B．By their light weight．
C．By their sense of smell．
D．By their excellent hearing．
33．The advantage of rats over dogs in finding bombs is thatD．
A．they are cleverer．
B．they run faster
C．they have a better sense of smell
D．they don't make mines explode as easily
34．The underlined word"They"may refer toB．
A．scientists                  
B．Wistar rats
C．dogs                        
D．Méndez and her team
35．What is the passage mainly about？A
A．Specially-trained rats help clear land mines．
B．People in Tanzania are suffering from land mines．
C．Dogs are no longer used to find land mines．
D．Land mines have become a great danger to Colombians．

2．These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint．Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses，factories，and offices．
Green building means"reducing the effect of the building on the land"，Taryn Holowka of the U．S．Green Building Council（評(píng)議會(huì)） in Washington，D．C．，said．According to Holowka，building accounts for 65percent of total U．S．electricity use．
But green buildings can reduce energy and water use．Also，the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways，so that people can drive their cars less．That could be good for the environment，because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution．Green buildings are often built on developed land，so that the buildings don't destroy forests．
Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action．The Solaire has been called the country's first green high-rise building．According to Dettling，"We've reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50percent．"
The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power．"On the face of the building we have solar panels（光板） which change the sun's energy into electricity，"Dettling explained．
The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room．In addition，the building has lots of windows，allowing people to use the sun for light during the day．The Solaire cuts water by reusing it．
Not everyone is eager to move into a green building，however．Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources．Anyhow，Holowka said，"It's going to be big．"

32．A green building meansC．
A．a(chǎn) building that uses no electricity         
B．a(chǎn) building occupying less land
C．a(chǎn) building that saves energy and water      
D．a(chǎn) green-colored building
33．A green building is often built on an area of landA．
A．which has already been for buildings
B．which has thick forests around
C．where people of high income live
D．where traveling around by car is most convenient
34．When Holowka says inthe last paragraph，"It's going to be big"，she means that green buildingsB．
A．will be more comfortable 
B．will become popular in future
