3、Reading Comprehension
(1)、 Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, 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 a 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 causing 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 essential 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 substances 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 it is, too, very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.
1. Pruning may 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
2. Trees become unhealthy if a 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
3. A special substance is 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
4. A good gardener prunes a tree ______.
A. at intervals throughout the year
B. as quickly as possible
C. occasionally when necessary
D. regularly every winter
5. What was the writer's purpose when writing this passage?
A. To give practical instructions for pruning a tree.
B. To give a general description of pruning.
C. To explain how trees develop diseases.
D. To discuss different methods of pruning.

(2)、 In every society it is necessary to have a general system of laws to ensure justice. Laws are designed to make certain that people's rights are protected and that people respect each other's rights. Sometimes, however, laws are passed which are specific to a time or situation. For example, a town in Indiana once passed a law making it illegal to shoot open a can of food. Apparently, some gun-carrying citizens forgot their can openers and naturally enough, used their guns to do the job. This disturbed other citizens, and endangered their lives, so a law was passed to prevent it.
Specific laws sometimes remain in existence long after the problem has disappeared. The laws then seem strange. For example, the Indiana law was no longer necessary when citizens stopped carrying guns and using them as can openers. Since the law was no longer needed, what once made sense now seems like nonsense.
Sometimes laws designed to serve a good purpose were passed but somehow these became mixed up in their wording. As a result, the laws don't make sense. In one state there is a law which says that it is "illegal to move or to attempt to move a motor vehicle." Obviously, a massive traffic jam would occur if everyone suddenly obeyed that law. But no one does, of course, because the intention of the law was not to prevent owners from moving their own cars. It was to prevent people from moving (stealing) other people's cars.
It is often harder to repeal (废止)a law than to pass one, so many of these old laws remain in existence. Because they no longer fit the way people live or because the problem no longer exists, these laws are ignored. Everyone understands that and life goes on. Thus, laws that once made very good sense now seem like nonsense.
1. According to the passage, laws are designed for the purpose of ____________.
A. protecting people's rights
B. making people respect each other
C. preventing gun-carrying
D. punishing criminals
2. The word "job " in paragraph 1 refers to ___________.
A. working
B. shooting
C. preventing gun-carrying
D. disturbing others
3. The author used the Indiana law as an example to explain _________.
A. how some laws are passed and changed
B. how people in Indiana open cans
C. why some laws may seem strange
D. why people in Indiana no longer use their guns
4. What's the problem with the law concerning motor vehicles?
A. It leads to traffic jams.
B. It is not clearly written.
C. It is not designed to serve a good purpose.
D. It has been out of date.
5. We can conclude from the passage that ___________.
A. a law system is necessary for every society
B. some laws that don't make sense may also get passed
C. it is more difficult to change the old law than pass a new one
D. some laws may seem strange as time passes
