The first step would be to place different-colored strips of cloth around all of the plants except one. Then, as regular intervals, you would observe and record and note 37 the plant had any insect damage or not.

This experiment may prove that the answer to your question is “No, it is not

different-colored strips of cloth 38 keep away insects.” Or you may find that answer is “Yes, certain insects are kept away by blue cloth, but not yellow cloth.” ...... 39 you have found, you are well on your way to understanding how you can use scientific thinking to solve a problem in you own life.

When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon （丝带）around a bomb”. Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo_________ (have) a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.

Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City , Kahlo suffered from polio（小儿麻痹症）at

the age of seven. Her spine （脊柱）become bent as she grew _________(old). Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had _________ unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught _________ to paint.

In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influences on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works, _________her later works from the 1940s, known today _________ her best works, show less influence from her husband.

Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico _________ (not hold) until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo’s works remained largely

_________(unnotice) by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.

The most difficult part of a Western-Chinese marriage is the cultural differences.The traditional Chinese culture is established on the Confucian philosophy, _________the western culture is based on ancient Greek civilization. Cultural differences exist in almost every aspect and therefore reflect also on relationships and marriage.

From the traditional Chinese point of view, marriage is a relationship concerning many aspects_________ _________ family, friends and relatives, while from the Western point of view, marriage is a contract signed between two people that is based on trust and love. Furthermore, Westerners’ marriages emphasize more the independence and privacy of the couple.

That is _________Westerners sometimes cannot understand why we Chinese need to support our relatives if we are asked to do so. Chinese need to maintain their “face” and “relations”. Even in a relationship, somehow still we _______(attach) to our family and relatives. Our partner has to understand it and at least does not __________(oppose) it.

It is not easy to maintain Chinese-Western relationship. Cultural differences may result _________ misunderstanding. Young Asian ladies are fond of western men because they believe they are more gentlemanly and in addition their appearances are more attractive. Western men may think Chinese ladies are _________(gentle) and more feminine.

My suggestion for the cross-culture relationship is always trying to put yourself in other’s shoes: accepting rather than _________(change); always respecting your partner _________ clarifying your own red lines; showing your interest in his/her different culture and carefully commenting on it and so on.

There are more and more cross-culture marriages occuring recently. I would like to take this chance to sincerely wish them the very best in their love journeys.

Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over 2 past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent. A taste for meat is 3 (actual)behind the change: An important part of its corn is used to feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn’s rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice 4 (improve)water quality. Corn uses less water 5 rice and creates less fertilizer(化肥)run-off. This switch has decreased 6 (pollute)in the country’s major lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people. According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total7 (globe)fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005—when the govern- ment8 (start) a soil-testing program9 gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons. That prevented the emission(排放)of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide.

Apparently, I had difficulty (31) ______ (adapt) myself to life in the city, let alone finding a job to my delight. After nine months of frustration, I eventually decided to go back to my small town. Not until I returned (32) ______I realize that a quiet town life was the best for me. Passage A 【答案】25. where 26. To earn 27. as soon as / as long as 28. exhausted 29. if 30. what 31. adapting 32. did 【解析】： 25. 本题考查非限定性定语从句。由于先行词为New York，故填关系副词where引导定语从句，同时在从句中做状语。 26. 本题考查不定式在句中做目的状语。根据后面内容some money to pay the daily expenses （一些钱来支付日常费用）可知，是为了赚钱，故填To earn。 27. 本题考查状语从句的连词。根据设空以及后面内容I was offered a good position, I would resign at once（我被提供一个好职位，我就马上辞职）的逻辑关系可知，这里填“一……就……”或“只要……”。故此处填as soon as 或as long as。 28. 本题考查过去分词表示“人的心理感受”。句意为：经过一段时间，高额的生活费用成了我本来就已经疲惫的肩膀上的负担。故填exhausted。
