Tenzing left his home when he was ten to work and help his mother,who was looking after their 2-acre ancestral farm after his father’s death. He did temporary jobs for the first few years and then joined a Malaysian construction firm,where he learnt to drive,repair machines, work on the Internet and even speak English fluently.
“In those 13 years,I learnt everything—driving, mechanic work,and how to set up a small factory. This made me gain much confidence to do almost all jobs,” says Tenzing.
However, as his mother was getting older, on December 12, 2006, Tenzing returned to his hometown in Assam. Having visited several farms, he came to know that tea could be easily exported and many tea companies were buying tea; so he also decided to grow tea on his farm. But as his family had never grown tea,he had no idea how to do it.
Being a layman (外行)in this field, Tenzing went to meet with many tea experts and followed their instructions. But whenever lie sprayed pesticide (农药)on his farm, he’d get a headache and feel indisposed. So he started looking for alternatives, Tenzing did his research online and finally in 2007, he connected with people from a Canadian non-governmental organization and invited them to his farm, where they trained him. Thus, Tenzing started growing tea organically.
Today Tenzing has 25 acres of land, in which 7.5 acres is used for tea planting, and he grows almost all types of fruits and vegetables. His success inspired many, and farmers from other parts of the country also started coming to his farm to learn organic farming. He has trained about 30,000 farmers so far. Every year almost 100 tourists visit his farm from various parts of the world like the UK, Australia, Germany, etc.
24. What can we know about Tenzing?
A. He was mistreated at a young age. B. He lived a happy childhood.
C. He received much formal education. D. He had great learning ability.
25. Why did Tenzing want to grow tea on his farm?
A. Tea sold very well at that time. B. His mother was getting older.
C. His land was best for tea growth. D. He was tired of temporary jobs.
26. What does the underlined word “indisposed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Unfair. B. Motivated
C. Uncomfortable. D. Touched.
27. What can be inferred about Tenzing’s farm according to the last paragraph?

It’s easy to think that the globe’s vast oceans would be effective barriers to the movement of land animals. An elephant can’t swim across the Pacific, after all But it turns out that plenty of plants and animals have unintentionally floated across oceans from one continent to another. Now comes evidence that tiny, trapdoor (活板门) spiders made such a journey millions of years ago.
Moggridgea rainbowi spiders can be found on Kangaroo Island, which sits off the south coast of Australia. These spiders build a silk-lined burrow (地洞) in the ground, notes Sophie Harrison, a biologist in Australia. The burrow and trapdoor provide these spiders with shelter and protection. It
also provides them an out-of-sight spot from which to wait for approaching preys (猎物).
There is evidence, though, that the ancestors of them might have traveled millions of meters to get to Australia—from Africa. That isn’t as unlikely as it might at first seem. Australia used to be connected to other continents, long ago, as part of a supercontinent called Gondwana. And humans have been known to transport species (物种) all over the planet. But there’s a third option. The spiders might have rafted (乘筏) long distances across the sea.
To figure out which story was most likely true, Harrison and her colleagues looked at the spider’s genes. They looked at the genes in seven Moggridgea rainbowi spiders from Kangaroo, and five species of Moggridgea spiders from South Africa. The Australian and African spiders split off from a common ancestor some 2 million to 16 million years ago, the genes showed.
If a large swatch (块) of land washes into the sea, filled with arachnids (蛛形纲动物), the spiders may be able to hide themselves throughout the journey. Plus, they can “hold their breath” and survive on stored oxygen during periods of temporary flooding, the researchers note.
28. What is the common belief about land animals according to the text?
A. They are sensitive to natural disasters.
B. They are unlikely to move across oceans.
C. They can’t make a long ocean voyage.
D. They float across oceans accidentally.
29. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Biologists. B. Australians. C. The spiders. D. The preys.
30. How did the researchers conclude Australian and African spiders are from a common ancestor?
A. By comparing their genes. B. By observing their living habits.
C. By making changes to their genes. D. By studying their physical characteristics.
31. What could be the best title for the text?
A. These Spiders Traveled Globally to Hide Themselves
B. These Spiders Became More Adaptive When Traveling
C. These Spiders Crossed an Ocean to Australia for Survival
D. These Spiders Crossed an Ocean to Become Australians
D
For many, music is as important to the human experience as eating and breathing. We hear music everywhere—at home, the gym, parties and stores. But what kind of music do we prefer to listen to, and when and why do our musical preferences change?
The relationship between the change of seasons and musical preferences was the focus of a study led by psychologist Terry Pettijohn. He and his team based their research on a previous study that examined the relationship between popular music preferences and the Environmental Security Hypothesis (假设). The results showed that over time, when social and financial conditions were more risky, the songs of the year that were slower, longer, more comforting and serious were most popular. And during periods in which social and financial conditions were generally stable, the result is opposite.
Building on these findings, Pettijohn and his team wondered if the Hypothesis could also be applied to the change of seasons. For college students, the participants in this study autumn begins at the start of the academic school year. Gone are the carefree days of summer,when school is out. When summer comes’ clocks fall back, stealing an hour of daylight, which feel like losing precious time. Winter means colder temperatures, shorter days, and, in many places in the country, snow. Spring, however, is a different story. It represents a fresh starts and when clocks spring forward, we gain an extra hour of day light. As students walk into summer, they’re absorbed in the sunshine and social activity—and enjoy a break from school.
But do changing seasonal conditions influence musical preferences? To answer this question, the researchers designed two studies. What did they find? Both groups of college students favored more serious music during the seasons of fall and winter, and more active and energetic music during the spring and summer seasons. And these findings, Pettijohn argues, have practical significances.
32. The purpose of the question raised in Paragraph 1 is to ________.
A. present a different opinion on music
B. prove where to listen to music matters
C. introduce the topic on musical preferences
D. stress the importance of music to humans
33. What influences a person’s choice of music types according to the previous study?
A. Whether one has enough free time. B. Whether one lives in a stable situation.
C. Whether one is exposed to sunlight. D. Whether one chooses to change his life.
34. What does Paragraph 3 imply?
A. Spring has a special meaning to people.
B. Students aren’t fond of school in any season.
C. The Hypothesis disagrees with Pettijohn’s studies.
D. The length of summer time is longer than winter time.
35. How does Pettijohn feel about the findings of his studies?
A. It’s unexpected. B. It’s significant. C. It’s humorous. D. It’s discouraging.
