Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at special time. The question is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one experiment, flowers were kept in constant (持续的) darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of the day, did not open as they usually do. In fact, they continue to open at their usual time. This shows that they have some special ways of knowing the time. Their sense time does not depend on(依赖于) information from the outside world. It is inside them: a kind of “inner (内部) clock”. This discovery may not seem to be very important. However, it is later found that not just plants but animals have this “inner clock”which controls the working of their bodies and influences their activities. Humans, then, are also influenced by it. Whether we wish or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep or need for food.( ) 29. What had people thought before the experiment arrived at a conclusion?A.

Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? Do you say “yes” to invitations because you think you should, not because you want to? If you answered yes to at least two of these questions, then perhaps you need to “edit your friends”.Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school. The result is that we don’t have enough time to see our real, close friends. As our lives get busier, it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see, people we love and who really love us.Who are the friends you need to edit? A few years ago, I read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary possessions (物品). It said you should ask yourself about each thing you have: Is it useful? Do I like it? Do I feel better every time I look at it? If the answer is no to any of those questions, you should throw it away. Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends. What kind of friends will you probably need to edit? Sometimes it’s an old friend. Somebody who you used to have a lot in common with, but who, when you meet now, you have very little or nothing to say to. Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with, but who is taking up too much of your time. Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting, think “Do I really want to see this person?” and if the answer is no, say no, and make an excuse. In that way you’ll have more time to spend with your real friends.( ) 32. When do people need to edit their friends?A. They have moved to a different area.B.

What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3?A. We should often throw some possessions.B. Most of our friends are not necessary at all.C. We shouldn’t treat our friends as possessions.D. We should ask ourselves who our real friends are.DEach year Ben is glad when school is closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Ben knows that this day honours an important man, but Ben does not feel connected to him. However, the small-worldtheory (理论) connects Ben to Dr. King. Ben’s mom has a close friend, Amy. Amy’s uncle, Mark, once met and spoke to John Carter, the son of President Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King. In a way, Ben is only “five people away” from Martin Luther King Jr.The small-world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of people they know. Another name of this chain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a person from someone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or she knows directly. This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree of separation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know. Ben knew his mom but he hasn’t met her close friend Amy. Therefore Ben is one degree away from Amy. As the chain continues Amy’s uncle Mark is two degrees. John Carter is three degrees and his father is four degrees. Dr. King is five degrees away from Ben. The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world.The small-world theory has a lot to do with math. The theory assumes (假定) that each person knows 100 people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. Each of those 50 people knows another 50 people and so on. When someone continues the calculation（计算）to six degrees it is like this: 100×50×50×50×50×50 = 31.25 ×10 .This number is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There are over 6 billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could include everyone in the world.Does the small-world theory work? No one has ever proved it. Maybe the theory just invites people to think a little more about their places in the world.( ) 36. After reading the article, do you think what connects Ben to Dr. King?A. Ben’s mom and her friend, AmyB. the small-world theoryC. Ben’s schoolD. Martin Luther King Jr. Day( ) 37. Ben is four degrees away from ______.A. Jimmy CarterB. John CarterC. AmyD. Mark( ) 38. What is the meaning of “degrees of separation” in Paragraph 2?A. The chain to connect people.B. The relations between people.C. The steps of knowing strangers.D. The separation between strangers. ( ) 39. What is the small-world theory mainly about?A. How far Ben is away from Dr. King.B. How many people one can get to know.C. How people are connected in the world.D. How the degrees of separation are set up.( ) 40. We can learn from the article that ______.A. the small-world theory worksB. more research is needed to prove the theoryC. six degrees are needed to know the strangersD. th e writer’s purpose is to help people find out their places.四. 单词拼写(本大题共10分，每小题1分)(A) 根据句意，用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。
