Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.
First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches, which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventing the free movement of air.
One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease , but it is a wound that will heal . Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible. It is important to make the area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the materials available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter , for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly .
61.Pruning should be done to _____.
A． make the tree grow taller.
B． improve the shape of the tree.
C． get rid of the small branches .
D．make the small branches thicker.
62．Trees become unhealthy if the gardener__________.
A．allows too many branches to grow in the middle
B. does not protect them from the wind
C. forces them to grow too quickly.
D．damages some of the small side branches
63.Why is a special material painted on the tree?
A．To make a wound smooth.
B．To prevent disease entering a wound.
C．to cover a rough surface.
D．To help a wound to dry.
64．What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage?
A．To give practical instruction for pruning a tree.
B．To give a general description of pruning.
C．To explain how trees develop disease.
D．To discuss different methods of pruning.
Examinations have a longer history in China than in any other country, yet it is today an issue around in which controversy flourishes. At each stage of their school lives children are faced with exams: exams to enter junior middle school, senior middle school, vocational school, colleges and universities. As a result of having constantly to think of these hurdles facing them children find themselves under constant pressure, unable to take time off from studying exam-oriented subjects to relax with friends or to develop other interests. Within school the concentration on exam success leads to the neglect of courses which are not central to the examinations and a method of teaching and learning which emphasizes training the ability to do well in tests but neglects developing the ability to think creatively.
Despite such criticisms the examination system still has its defenders. Without it, they argue, how can we test students’ abilities and evaluate the effectiveness of teachers and schools They believe that they provide the only objective way of selecting students and reduce the exercise of unfair back-door practices to gain advantage for children on the basis of influence or corruption. Examinations are also felt to offer the impetus to students to master their subject in a way in which they otherwise might not. "While too much anxiety can be a bad thing, a little anxiety can stimulate students to learn better than if left without any test to pass," says Li Jie, a leading advocate of the value of testing. "I can remember things now which give me great pleasure which I doubt I would have learned at the time if I had not had to do so for the examinations.\
65.Which of the following statements about emminations in China is correct?
People can make money out of examination.
only students of today have to take examination.
Students have to learn more about history than about any other subjects.
People have different opinions concerning the value of examinations.

[A] Students neglect those exam-oriented subjects.
[B] Students are unable to relax with friends or to develop other interests.
[C] Teachers neglect the training of the students' ability to do well in tests.
[D] Students only pay attention to the development of their ability to think creatively.
67. Which of the following has NOT been mentioned as the advantage of examinations？
[A] Examinations are the only objective way of selecting students.
[B] Examinations are the only objective way to eliminate the problem of corruption.
[C] Examinations can tell us that too much anxiety can be a bad thing.
[D] Examinations can better stimulate students to study.
68 Which of the following is an acceptable summary of the organization of this passage？
[A] Discussing a problem in education. [B] Refuting a long held opinion.
[C] Persuading people to believe an idea. [D] Presenting a controversial issue and arguments from both sides.
The next time you try for a high-ranking post, you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending phone call“made”by US President George W．Bush or British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
