A little boy loved to come and play with it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples... He loved the tree and the tree loved him.‎ Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid; I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.‎ One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.‎ Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore... the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.‎ ‎“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest.

However, they’ve always felt superior in the kitchen. France has for centuries had a reputation for cooking excellence, and Britain for some of the worst cooking in the world. But according to a recent survey, that reputation may no longer reflect reality.‎ In the survey, 71% of the Britons said they cook at home every day, while only 59% of the French said they cook daily. British home cooks spend more time cooking each week and also produce a greater variety of dishes than French home cooks.‎ The reaction in London was predictably enthusiastic. British food has greatly improved since the 1990s. Once upon a time, the menu for many family meals would have been roast beef, potatoes and over-cooked vegetables, but not now. Home cooks are experimenting with the huge range of ingredients now available in British supermarkets and are preparing all kinds of new dishes, using the cookbooks that sell millions of copies every year. As a result, there’s much more ‎ diversity in British food now, compared to French food, which tends to be very traditional.‎ Some French people say that the survey did not show the whole picture. They agree that during the week French women don’t cook as much as they used to because most of them work and don’t have much time. They tend to buy ready-made or frozen dishes, but many of them make up for it on the weekend. There’s also a difference between Paris and the countryside. It’s true that people in Paris don’t cook much, but elsewhere, cooking is still at the heart of daily life.‎ For many French people, opinions about British food have not changed. When Bernard Blier, the food editor at a magazine, was asked about British food, he replied: “I don’t go out of my way to try it. It is not very refined. You can say that I’m not a fan at all.”‎ ‎28.According to the passage, nowadays British people ______.‎ A.cook less at home than the French every day.‎ B.no longer eat roast beef and over-cooked vegetables.‎ C.are more willing to try cooking all kinds of new foods.‎ D.buy more cookbooks than French people do.‎ ‎29.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?‎ A.French women cook less often now.‎ B.The French prefer ready-made dishes.‎ C.French women seldom cook on the weekend.‎ D.Cooking is at the heart of people’s life in Paris.‎ ‎30.What is Bernard’s attitude towards British food?‎ A.He would love to try it. B.He shows no interest in it.‎ C.He considers it worse than before. D.He considers it better than before.‎ ‎31.What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A.The history of British food. B.The history of French food.‎ C.The change in British food. D.The change in French food.‎ D Scientists say they have created a new device that can turn brain signals into electronic speech.The invention could one day give people who have lost the ability to speak a better way of communicating than current ones.‎ The device was developed by researchers from the University of California, San ‎ Francisco.Their results were recently published in a study in the journal Nature.Scientists created a"brain machine connection"that was set in the brain.The device was built to read and record brain signals that helped control the muscles to produce speech.These include the lips, tongue and jaw .‎ The study involved five volunteer patients who were being treated for epilepsy(癫痫).The individuals had the ability to speak and already had electrodes(电极)set in their brains.The volunteers were asked to read several hundred sentences aloud while the researchers recorded their brain activity.‎ The researchers used audio recordings to reproduce the vocal(发声的) muscle movement which is the key to producing human speech.Future studies will test the technology on people who are unable to speak.‎ The study reports the reproduced sentences were understandable to hundreds of human listeners asked to write out what they heard.The listeners were able to write out 43 percent of sentences with perfect accuracy.‎ Edward Chang is a professor of the university's Weill Institute.He was a lead researcher on the project.Chang admitted that much more research of the system would be needed to reach the goal of perfectly reproducing spoken language.‎ ‎32.Who will probably benefit most from this device?‎ A.Those unable to hear. B.Those unable to see.‎ C.Those unable to speak. D.Those unable to write.‎ ‎33.What do we know about the"brain machine connection"?‎ A.It could control the muscles. B.It could produce human speech.‎ C.It could transform brain signals. D.It could read and record brain signals.‎ ‎34.Which of the following is important for production of human speech?‎ A.Brain activity. B.Muscle control.‎ C.Audio recording. D.Vocal muscle movement.‎ ‎35.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?‎ A.Science. B.Fashion.‎ C.Education. D.Entertainment.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Love Your Parents Even if you think that your parents are mean at times， loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life． You love them for the fact that they created you， raised you， and are in part， a source of who you are． Here are some ways to love your parents．‎ ‎36.
