Trees should

overgrown and
unwanted branches. And the inexperienced gardener
can be encouraged by the
thought that more
damage results from doing it unnecessarily than
from leaving the tree
to grow in its own way.
First, pruning may be done to make sure
that trees have a desired shape or size. The
object
may be to get a tree of the right
height, and at the same time to help the growth of
small
side branches which will thicken its
appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly,
pruning may be done to make the tree
healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood,
or branches that are rubbing against each
other and thus cause wounds. The health of a
tree may be encouraged by removing branches
that are blocking up the centre and so
preventing the free movement of air.
One result of pruning is that an open wound is
left on the tree and this provides an easy
entry for disease, but it is a wound that will
heal. Often there is a race between the
healing and the disease as to whether the tree
will live or die, so that there is a period
when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim
of every gardener to reduce that risk of
death
as far as possible. It is essential to make the
area which has been pruned smooth
and clean,
for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You
should allow the cut surface
to dry for a few
hours and then paint is with one of the substances
available from garden
shops produced
especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually
done in winter, for then
you can see the shape
of the tree clearly without interference from the
leaves and also
it is very unlikely that the
cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it
is, of
course, impossible to paint them
properly.
1. Pruning should be done to
___B___.
33
A. make the tree grow
taller.
B. improve the shape of the tree.
C. get rid of the small branches.
D. Make
the small branches thicker.
2. Trees become
unhealthy if the gardener ___A___.
A. allows
too many branches to grow in the middle
B.
does not protect them from the wind
C. forces
them to grow too quickly
D. damages some of
the small side branches
3. Why is a special
substance painted on the tree B
A. to make a
wound smooth.
B. to prevent disease entering a
wound.
C. to cover a rough surface
D. to
help a wound to dry
4. A good gardener prunes
a tree ___C___.
A. at intervals throughout the
year
B. as quickly as possible
C.
occasionally when necessary
D. regularly every
winter
5. What was author’s purpose when

A. to give practical
instructions for pruning a tree.
B. to give a
general description of pruning.
C. to explain
how trees develop diseases.

D. To discuss different methods of pruning.
warns, however, that people in poor
physical shape should start slowly, and build up
over
time.
China has taken the need
for more exercise to heart, with the government

was the designated World Health Day. Pamphlets and
posters based on the theme “Move for Health”
were distributed nationwide, encouraging
people to develop a positive and healthy
lifestyle.
6. Rapid economic development

A. an increasing number of taxi passengers

pressure.

A. Many

Passage Two:
For the most part, rapid economic
development has been a boon. But there is a down
side to development – health problems such as
overweight are all becoming more prevalent,
as
more people take taxis to work instead of riding
their bicycles, and other labor-saving
devices
become more popular.
An increasing fast
pace of life makes it difficult for people to
spend time working
out or playing sports. “I
know exercise is good for your health,” a young
lady said.
“But after a busy work week, the
only thing I want to do is watch some TV and go to
sleep.”
That attitude may explain the results
of a recent nationwide study, which suggested 15
percent of urban adults I China are
overweight, a large number of people over the age
of 40 suffer from high blood pressure and
cardiac ailments.
Local researchers found
that percent of elderly respondents were getting
enough
exercise, but less than 9 percent of
youngsters and the middle-aged got an adequate
amount
of physical activity.
Elderly
people understand the importance of protecting
their health. The young people,
however, are
busy working and use this as an excuse to avoid
exercise. In fact, physical
exercise doesn’t
require much time, money or a special gymnasium.
People can make use
of any time and any place
at their convenience to take part in sports.
Walking quickly,
cycling, climbing the stairs
and dancing are all helpful methods to enhance
one’s health.
The benefits of adding a
little more activity to your lift are priceless.
“There
is no need to be an athlete, however,”
a local doctor said. People should walk for 30
minutes a day and take part in other physical
activity three to five times a week. He

B. Nobody should take
part in physical activity in order to be an
athlete.
C. Moderate physical exercise is
usually enough for ordinary people.
D. Old or
sick people should only take part in physical
exercises of the slowest type.
10. By
referring to rapid economic development as “a
boon” at the beginning of the
passage, the
author means that _ A___.
A. it has benefited
the general public greatly
B. it has done harm
to people’s health nationwide
C. it is going
faster than anyone could have imagined
D. it
has helped to establish a positive and health
lifestyle of the public
harder a
student studies, the more heat his body gives off.
Male students emit more heat
than female
students, and the larger a student, the more heat
he produces. It is tempting
to conclude that
the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus
would be a hard-working,
overweight male
genius.
11. Until recently, body heat has

A. was
difficult to collect
B. came in variety

other
heat-emitting objects

heat is supplied by both human bodies and
conventional fuel
D. The heat is supplied
by human bodies, other heat-emitting objects, and
conventional fuel

campus, how many of the buildings are heated

collection system D
A. None
B. Two
C. Four
D. Six
14. According to the passage,
which of the following would produce the LEAST
amount of

Passage Three:
Every human being, no matter what he is doing,
gives off body heat. The usual problem
is how
to dispose of it. But the designers of the
Johnstown campus of the University of
Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem
– how to collect body heat. They have
designed
a collection system which utilizes not only body
heat, but the heat given off
by such objects
as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The
system works so well that
no conventional fuel
is needed to make the campus’s six buildings
comfortable.
Some parts of most modern
buildings – theaters and offices as well as
classrooms
– are more than amply heated by
people and lights and sometimes must be air-
conditioned
even in winter. The technique of
saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat
recovery”. A few modern buildings recover
heat, but the University’s system is the first
to recover heat from some buildings and reuse
it in others.
Along the way, Pitt has
learned a great deal about some of its heat
producers. The

Passage
Four：
Community service is an important
component of education here at our university. We
encourage all students to volunteer for at
least one community activity before they
graduate. A new community program called “One
On One” helps elementary students who’ve
fallen behind. Your education majors might be
especially interested in it because it offers
the opportunity to do some teaching, that is,
tutoring in math and English.
You’d have
to volunteer two hours a week for one semester.
You can choose to help a child
with math,
English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so
you could do a half hour of
each subject two
days a week.
Professor Dodge will act as
a mentor to the tutors ---- he’ll be available to
help you
with lesson plans or to offer
suggestions for activities. He has office hours
