1．The Erie Canal was the first important national waterway built in the US.It crossed New York from Buffalo on Lake Erie Troy to Albany on the Hudson River.It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.The canal served as a route over which industrial goods could flow into the west，and materials could pour into the east.The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation's largest city.
The building of the canal was paid for entirely by the state of New York.It cost ＄7，143，789，but it soon gained its price many times over.Between 1825，when the canal was opened，and 1882，when toll charges（過運(yùn)河費(fèi)） were stopped，the state collected ＄121，461，891.
For a hundred years before the Erie was built，people had been talking about a canal which could join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean.The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton.Those who were against the canal laughingly called it "Clinton's Ditch（溝）"．Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it.He and Governor Morris went to Washington in 1812 to ask for help for the canal，but they were unsuccessful.
Clinton became governor of New York in 1817，and shortly afterwards，on July 4，1817，broke ground for the canal in Rome，N.Y.The first part of the canal was completed in 1820.As the canal grew，towns along its course developed fast.The length of the canal is 363 miles.

2．My first term at MIT（麻省理工學(xué)院）was awesome-I got all A's，and I declared math as my major．My parents were expecting me to become a doctor like them so I was trying to satisfy them．But I was desperately running away from them．I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life．My third term，I ended up with a D in math．I didn't do that well in my other classes，either．It seemed like all my friends were doing so well，getting opportunities over the summers．
My fifth term，I realized that I was awful at higher-level math．I had lost all confidence in myself．I went to a few classes at the beginning of the term，but after by midterm，I had totally stopped．My only relief was the dance team I was on．I would sleep all day，and then go to dance practice，and then go back to sleep．As expected，I failed in all of my classes and had to withdraw from MIT．
I had no choice but to tell my parents．Instead of yelling or hitting me，though，they just held me and cried．The next day，my dad took a day off from work and took me to a nearby，small arts college．
I had lost all confidence in myself．Before my first biology test，I didn't think I could pass．I did pass．Since I had so much free time，I decided to join a biology lab．I realized that was what I wanted to do!I wanted to be a scientist!
This past May，I graduated with the highest honors，and now I have my PhD in biology．Though it ended up taking me 5 years to graduate from college，I can say now that dropping out of MIT was one of the best things that ever happened to me．I've realized that a person is not their grades．I've realized how much my parents loved me．I've finally discovered my passion（熱情）in life!
（1）How was the author's first term at MIT？
A．He was busy with exams．

C．He did well in all subjects．
D．He was fed up with math．
（2）How did the author's parents react to his failing at MIT？
A．They hit him．
B．They yelled at him．
C．They quit their jobs to teach him．
D．They forgave him for what he did．
（3）In the arts college，the author．
A．rebuilt his confidence
B．volunteered at many labs
C．found it hard to learn biology
D．hated the learning environment
（4）What do we know about the author from the last paragraph？
A．He felt sorry for his parents．
B．He discovered his true interest．
C．He realized the importance of grades．
D．He felt ashamed of his failing at MIT．組卷：5引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．Do plants listen to music？How can a plant possibly respond to music？Well，plants breathe through their many mouths，which are also known as stomata and it has been discovered that plant stomata respond to music!
A few years ago，scientists at the University of California，San Diego discovered what controls a plant's stomata.The two cells that form the stoma consist of specialized cells adjusted to the resonant（共鳴的）frequency of calcium（鈣）．When exposed to this frequency the stomata close.However，if the frequency isn't exactly right the cells will open again within an hour.This happens even if the concentration of calcium is high enough that the stomata would normally close.
When specific music or bird songs cause the plant to vibrate（顫動），but not at the exact frequency for calcium resonance，the stomata will open after a misjudgment of time，even though the plant would keep them closed under normal circumstances.
Testing has shown that a leaf fertilizer（肥料）applied to the plant will have more effect on the development and growth of the plant if its stomata are wide open.This is quite logical，because plants absorb the leaf fertilizer through their stomata.Combinations of frequency and leaf fertilizer are available for many different crops.However，if the stomata are forced to remain open，the plant won't be able to control the amount of water lost and so it risks dehydration（脫水）．As a result，exposing plants to music for over 3 hours a day could endanger their health.There could also be bad effects on plants if the volume or frequency is too high.
It isn't exactly clear how music influences the development and growth of plants，but more and more is being discovered about resonance physics and we're closer than ever to solid scientific proof and theories in this area.Maybe，in twenty years' time people will laugh if you say plants don't have ears!
（1）Why does the author ask the questions in Paragraph 1？
A．To express his doubts.
B．To present different ideas.
C．To describe the lifestyle of plants.
D．To introduce points for discussion.
（2）What does the underlined word "This" in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．The reopening of the cells.
B．The change in frequency.
C．The frequency of calcium.
D．The closing of the stomata.
（3）It call be inferred from the text that.
A．future plants are likely to have ears
B．how music affects plant growth is widely known
C．growers must be careful when exposing plants to music
D．the stomata don't affect the effect of leaf fertilizer on plants
（4）Which can be the best title for the text？
A．Benefits of Music to Plants
B．Influence of Music on Plants
C．How to Improve Plant Growth？
D．How Do Plants Listen Without Ears？組卷：21引用：3難度：0.6
