20.You may be familiar with the following famous people,but have you heard of their graduation speeches,in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration.
●Michael Dell,University of Texas at Austin
And now you've accomplished something great and important here,and it's time for you to move on to what's next.And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps…You must also commit to the adventure.Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed with and go.
●J.K.Rowling,Harvard University
Half my lifetime ago,I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich…But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty,but failure.The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure,you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.
●Steve Jobs,Stanford University
Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick.Don't lose faith…Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work,and the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven't found it yet,keep looking,and don't settle.
●Bill Gates,Harvard University
We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another.They are making it possible not just for national governments,but for universities,smaller organizations,and even individuals to see problems,see approaches and deal with the world's inequities(不公平)like hunger,poverty,and so on.

11.Winter care for rosesDo roses need extra care for winter?Like so many other things in the garden,the answer is debatable.(36)G
Roses are grouped and referred to by type.Shrub roses are the hardiest and need little extra care.Hybrid tea roses and other roses are more likely to need winterization to survive or remain healthy.
(37)A And even shrub roses exposed to severe winter conditions can suffer.If roses are growing in a location that is subject to heavy winter winds,even the hardiest varieties may benefit from winterization.
Some gardeners live by the theory that if a plant can't grow well,the best bet is to replace it.(38)DIf you wish to do nothing with your roses,you also have chances of having plants around in the spring.If you like to baby plants along,winterization is for you.
Winterize roses after a hard freeze and cold weather.The first step is to add soil or other plant material over the crown(花冠)of the rose bush.The material should be about 12inches deep over the crown.The second step to winterizing roses is to tie up the plants.(39)F If the plants are tall,use ropes to provide support to them.
When spring comes,remove the added soil from the base of the plant.(40)B  This is the time to clean up cuts and reduce plant size if desired.

A.Location also plays a role,though.
B. Remove strings if plants have been tied up.
C.So they often change the plants they grow.
D.Other gardeners have plants that are almost like children.
E.You should consider sunshine and water when answering this question.
F.The main purpose is to prevent them from breaking off in the face of strong winds.
G.It depends on the plant variety,growing location and a gardener's personal preference.

5.Jack Armstrong sat up in the secondhand hospital bed that had been placed into a corner of his home in Cleveland.Jack had been in the military for five years when the war in the Middle East started.He'd survived his first tour in Afghanistan and earned a Purple Heart.After that he'd experienced several tours of duty in Iraq,one of which included the destruction of his Humvee while he was still inside.That injury had won him his second Purple.And he had a Bronze Star on top of that for rescuing three fellow soldiers and nearly getting killed in the process.After all that,here he was,dying fast in his house in Ohio.
His goal was simple:just hang on until Christmas.He sucked greedily on the oxygen coming from the line in his nose.Jack knew that one day soon it would be turned off because he'd be dead.Before Thanksgiving he was certain he would last another month.Now Jack was not sure he could make another day.
But he would.
"I have to,"he thought to himself.
"Jack,Jack honey?"
His wife Lizzie was bending down in front of him.She was still beautiful,though her looks had taken on a fragile edge.There were dark circles under her eyes and recently stamped worry lines on her face.Jack was the one dying,but in a way she was too.
His youngest child,Mike,toddled in and climbed on his dad's lap,resting his head against father's chest.Jack slowly slid his arm around his two-year-old son.Little fat fingers grasped his forearm,and warm breath touched his skin.It fell like the sharp point of needles,but Jack simply gritted (咬緊牙關(guān)) his teeth and didn't move his arm because there wouldn't be many more of these embraces.He slowly turned his head and looked out of the window,where the snow was steadily falling.It was truly beautiful.
He took his wife's hand.
"Christmas,"Jack said in a breathless voice."I'll be there."
"Promise?"said Lizzie,her voice beginning to break.
"Promise."

24.What made Jack win his highest military award?C
A.Surviving his Afghanistan tour.
B.Driving a damaged Humvee.
C.Saving his fellow soldiers.

12.Take a look at the following list of numbers:4,8,5,3,7,9,6.Read them loud.Now look away and spend 20seconds memorizing them in order before saying them out loud again.If you speak English,you have about a 50% chance of remembering those perfectly.If you are Chinese,though,you're almost certain to get it right every time.Why is that?Because we most easily memorize whatever we can say or read within a two-second period.And unlike English,the Chinese language allows them to fit all those seven numbers into two seconds.
That example comes from Stanislas Dahaene's book The Number Sense.As Dahaene explains:Chinese number words are remarkably brief.Most of them can be spoken out in less than one-quarter of a second (for instance,4is"si"and 7"qi").Their English pronunciations are longer.The memory gap between English and Chinese apparently is entirely due to this difference in length.
It turns out that there is also a big difference in how number-naming systems in Western and Asian languages are constructed.In English,we say fourteen,sixteen,seventeen,eighteen and nineteen,so one might expect that we would also say oneteen,twoteen,threeteen,and fiveteen.But we don't.We use a different form:eleven,twelve,thirteen and fifteen.For numbers above 20,we put the"decade"first and the unit number second (twenty-one,twenty-two),while for the teens,we do it the other way around (fourteen,seventeen,eighteen).The number system in English is highly irregular.Not so in China,Japan,and Korea.They have a logical counting system.Eleven is ten-one.Twelve is ten-two.Twenty-four is two-tens-four and so on.
That difference means that Asian children learn to count much faster than American children.Four-year-old Chinese children can count,on average,to 40.American children at that age can count only to 15.By the age of five,in other words,American children are already a year behind their Asian friends in the most fundamental of math skills.
The regularity of their number system also means that Asian children can perform basic functions,such as addition,far more easily.Ask an English-speaking seven-year-old to add thirty-seven plus twenty-two in her head,and she has to change the words to numbers (37+22).Only then can she do the math:2plus 7is 9and 30and 20is 50,which makes 59.Ask an Asian child to add three-tens-seven and two-tens-two,and then the necessary equation(等式) is right there,in the sentence.No number translation is necessary:it's five-tens-nine.
When it comes to math,in other words,Asians have a built-in advantage.For years,students from China,South Korea,and Japan---outperformed their Western classmates at mathematics,and the typical assumption is that it has something to do with a kind of Asian talent for math.The differences between the number systems in the East and the West suggest something very different---that being good at math may also be rooted in a group's culture.

33.What does the passage mainly talk about?D
A.The Asian number-naming system helps grasp advanced math skills better.
B.Western culture fail to provide their children with adequate number knowledge.
C.Children in Western countries have to learn by heart the learning things.
D.Asian children's advantage in math may be sourced from their culture.
34.What makes a Chinese easier to remember a list of numbers than an American?B
A.Their understanding of numbers.
B.Their mother tongue.
C.Their math education.
D.Their different IQ.
35.Asian children can reach answers in basic math functions more quickly becauseC.
A.they pronounce the numbers in a shorter period
B.they practice math from an early age
C.they don't have to translate language into numbers first
D.American children can only count to 15at the age of four.
