What I notice is that the design quite complicated. Or, sometimes there is no real design and the layout (布局) just looks messy. Creating a garden without some form 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 of design is like trying to bake a cake without a recipe. With a cake you can add together ingredients (原料) from the cupboard and fridge in the hope that the result will be a perfectly baked cake. Both creating a garden and baking a cake follow outlines for getting a result. Know just when to add something, when to take the mix off the heat or how much oil to use, etc. An experienced garden designer can help you create a garden best suited to you and your lifestyle, rather than impose their own ideas on you. He will listen to and help draw out your ideas. By keeping the garden design simple you and your chosen designer will have created the structure of a garden, similar to the structure of a house together with some details. A golden rule to remember is that garden design is not about choosing the right plants. Don’t get caught up in the idea that you have to choose the right plants for the job straight away. Plant choice comes almost at the last minute in many cases, after you and your designer have created style or feeling you are wanting to have in your garden. Design is about creating a constructable (可构造的) image for the garden, including form and shape, sounds, smells, even tastes and often, believe it or not, plants are never used. By keeping the design simple, especially if you are learning about design or taking on the project by yourself, you are increasing your chances of a successful design, one that matches your standard for your life. 1. What is the passage mainly about? A. Designing a garden as simple as possible. B. Comparing garden-designing with cake-making. C. An experienced garden designer’s importance. D. Choosing plants for the garden. 2. Why does the author use baking a cake in the passage? 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 A. To show the basic steps of baking a cake. B. To imply how simple to design a garden. C. To state baking a cake is very complex. D. To introduce how to design a garden. 3. The underlined word “impose” in the third paragraph means . A. force B. turn C. improve D. imagine 4. By keeping the garden design simple, . A. you can get details from the garden designer B. you will be successful one day C. you can meet your standards in life D. you can match the structure of a house with that of a garden 5. What is the most important for garden design? A. Creating a constructable image for the garden. B. Choosing the right plants for your garden first. C. Inviting an experienced garden designer. D. Not rushing to choose plants for your garden. 【参考答案】1—5、ABADD 阅读理解 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can’t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering(干涉) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old. Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance(机械维修，保养) as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results will be. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by seeking the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You can’t ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope. When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun. 5. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. The values are different between the old and the young. B. The moral problems raised by old people. C. The personal freedom for the old. D. Old people’s viewpoint on life. 6. We can know from the first paragraph that________. A. Very old people would like to live alone to have more personal freedom. B. Very old people are able to keep their room clean. C. Very old people like to live with their children. D. Social services have nothing to do with very old people. 7. According to the author, which of the following is right? 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 A. The older a person, the more care he needs. B. Too much emphasis has been put on old people’s values. C. The human body can’t be compared to a car. D. It is easy to provide spare parts for old people. 8.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”. A. their money or their health B. the conclusion you come to C. your talk to the old people D. whether age is happy or unpleasant 5.B 主旨大意题。根据文章第 1 句 Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them 及全文内容可知，答案选 B。 6. A 推理判断题。根据文章第 1 段最后几句 Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old 可知，答案选 A。 7.

If an ultrasound generator is placed in a liquid, the waves move the liquid back and forth hundreds of thousands of times each second. This causes materials to mix quickly or to dissolve(使分解， 使溶解) in liquids. Paint manufacturers(制造商) use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors. The companies that make film for your camera find that mixing chemicals by the use of sound waves will produce a more sensitive film. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 The new lightweight(轻量的) type of washing machine uses ultrasonic waves to get clothes clean. Its special ultrasound generator is put into a pail of soapy water containing the soiled clothes. The sound waves drive the soapy water back and forth through the cloth so fast that everything is soon clean. There is also a new kind of dishwasher that works in much the same way. Ultrasonic waves can shake a liquid so fast that tiny holes form all through it. The liquid is actually torn apart by this action. Almost as soon as these holes are made, they fall together again. The result is a powerful pounding action. In the dairy industry this is used for the double purpose of making homogenized(使均匀，使匀质) milk and sterilizing(使无菌) it at the same time. If you look at some raw milk with a microscope, you find that it is made up of little drops of butter fat floating around in a watery liquid. In order to make milk easier to digest, these fat droplets(微粒) may be broken up by forcing the milk through very small openings. The result is called homogenized milk. When the ultrasonic method is used, the sound waves not only break up the droplets but also kill the germs in the milk by pounding them to pieces. 1. Why does a paint manufacturer use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors? A. Because it is cheap to use ultrasound to blend colors. B. Because the waves move the liquid so quickly that it can make materials mix quickly or dissolve in liquids. C. Because they can mix chemicals by the use of sound waves. D. Because the waves can clean the paint. 2. What properties does ultrasound wave have? A. Homogenizes and sterilizes the milk. B. Mix materials and break droplets. C. Kill germs and sterilize milk. D. Move liquids quickly. 3. What exists in the raw milk? A. Little drops of butter fat. B. Small holes. C. Fat droplets and germs. D. Chemicals. 4. Where is ultrasound wave not used? A. In the paint manufacture. B. In the shop mixing bread flour. C. In the film-making company. D. In the dairy industry. 1. B 事实细节题。根据其上句 This causes materials to mix quickly or to dissolve(使分解，使溶 解) in liquids 可知，答案选 B。 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 9 2. D 事实细节题。根据文章最后一段的第 1 句 Ultrasonic waves can shake a liquid so fast that tiny holes form all through it 可知，答案选 D。 3. C 事实细节题。根据文章最后一段的内容，特别是最后一句 When the ultrasonic method is used, the sound waves not only break up the droplets but also kill the germs in the milk by pounding them to pieces 可知，答案选 C 4. B 推理判断题。根据文章第 1 段最后提到的 Paint manufacturers(制造商)…以及 The companies that make film… 两句排除选项 A、C，根据第 3 段第 5 句的 In the dairy industry this is used for… 排 除选项 D，从而得出答案是 B。
