请阅读Passage 1，完成第21—5小题。
Passage 1
Every year on my birthday，from the time I turned l2，a white gardenia(栀子花)was
delivered to my house in Bethesda，MD．No card or note eanle with it．Calls to the florist wel．e al-ways in Vain—it was a cash purchase．After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender’s identi．ty and just delighted in the beauty and heady perfume of that one magical，perfect white flower nes．tied in soft pink tissue paper．
But I never stopped imagining who the anonymous giver might be．Some of my happiest mo-ments were spent daydreaming about someone wonderful and exciting but too shy or eccentric tomake known his or her identity．
My mother contributed to these imaginings．She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness who might be showing appreciation．Perhaps the neighbor l’d helped when she was unloading a car full of groceries．Or maybe it was the old man across the street whose mail
I retrieved during the winter so he wouldn’t have to venture down his icy steps．As a teenager，though．I had more fun speculating that it might be a boy I had a crush on or one who had noticed me even though I didn’t know him．
When l was 17，a boy broke my heart．The night he called for the last time．I cried myself tosleep．When I awoke in the mornin9，there was a messagescribbled on my mirror in red lipstick：
“Heartily know，when half-gods 90，the gods arrive．”I thought about that quotation from Emerson for a long time，and until my heart healed。I left it where my mother had written it．When I finally went to get the glass cleaner，my mother knew everything was all right again．
I don’t remember ever slamming my door in anger at her and shoutin9，“You just don’t under-stand!”Because she did understand．
One month before my high-school graduation，my father died of a heart attack．My feelings ranged from grief to abandonment，fear and overwhelming anger that my dad was missing some of the most important events in my life．I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation，tlle senior．class play and the prom．But my mother，in the midst of her own grief，would not hear of my skipping any of those things．
The day before my father died，my mother and I had gone shopping for a prom dress．We’d
found a spectacular one，with yards and yards of dotted swiss in red，white and blue．It made me feel like Scarlet 0’Hara，but it was the wrong size．When my father died，I forgot about the dress．
My mother didn’t．The day before the prom．I found that dress—in the right size--draped ma-jestically over the living—room sofa．It had just been delivered，still in the box．It was presented to me--beautifully，artistically，lovingly．I didn’t care if I had a new dress or not．But my mother did．
She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable，creative and imaginafive，imbued with a sense that there was magic in the world and beauty even in the face of adversity．In truth，my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia--lovely，strong and perfect--with an aura of magic and perhaps a bit of mystery．
My mother died ten days after l was married．1 was 22．That was the year the gardenias stopped coming．
21．The best title for this passage would be“__________”．
A．Life Without My Father
B．High School Graduation
C．Mystery of the White Gardenia
D．Love Between Mother and Daughter
22．Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a likely giver of the flower．9
A．The boy who broke my heart．
B．The old man I helped to get his mail．
C．An unknown boy who had noticed me．
D．The neighbour I assisted in unloading a car full of groceries．
23．The underlined word“scribbled”in Paragraph 4 means“__________”．
A．Dasted
B．written
C．scrawled
D．attached
24．At the end of Paragraph 6．the underlined phrase“those things”does not include“__________”．
A.graduation
B．the prom
C．her romantic imagings
D．the senior class play
25．Why didn’t her mother tell her that she was anonymous giver of gardenia?
A．Because she wanted to give her surprise．
B．Because she wanted her to continue to help other people．
C．Because she wanted her to solve the mystery herself．
D．Because she wanted her to feel there was beauty and magic in the wodd．
Passage 2
They’re faithful，friendly and furry—but under their harmless，fluffy exteriors，dogs and cats，the world’s most popular house pets，use up more energy resources in a year than driving a car，a new book says．
In their book Time to Eat the D09：The Real Guide to Sustainable Living．New Zealand--based architects Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological impact as drivin9 10，000 km(6，213 miles)a year in a 4．6 liter Land Cruiser．“There are no recipes in the book，”Robea Vale said，laughingly，in a telephone interview．
“We’re not actually saying it is time to eat the d09．We’re just saying that we need to think a．bout and know the(ecological)impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted．”
Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0．41 hectares(ha)of land，while growing and manufacturing a dog’s food takes about 0．84 ha-or l．1 ha in the case of a large dog such as a
German shepherd．Meat-eating swells the ec0—footprint of canines，and felines are not that much bet．ter，the Vales found．
The average cat’s eco-footprint，0．15 ha，weighs in at slightly less than a Volkswagen Golf，but still 10 times a hamster’s 0．0 1 4 ha—which is itself half the eco-cost of running a plasma televi．sion．
By comparison，the ecological footprint of an average human in the developing world is 1．8 ha，while people in the developed world take 6 ha．
With pets’diets under the control of owners，how can their unsustainable appetites betrimmed?
Convincing carnivorous cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a non-starter，the Vales say．
Instead they recommend keepin9“greener”，smaller，and more sustainable pets，such as gold．fish，hamsters，chickens or rabbits．
The book’s playful title and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully“recycled”．bybeing eaten by their owners or turned into peffood when they die，may not appeal to animal fans．
Offputting as the idea may be，the question is valid given the planet’s growing population and finite resources，Robert Vale said．“Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your d09．It’s not just about changing your lightbulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket．”he said．“It’s about much more challenging and difficult issues，”he added．“0nce you see where(cats and dogs)fit in your over-all balance of things--you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself．”
26．An appropriate title for this passage might be“__________”．
A．What Do You Know about Dogs and Cats
B．Cats and Dogs Are Energy consuming Pets
C．Cats and Dogs Consume More Energy Than Cars
D．Time to Eat the Dog：The Real Guide to Sustainable Living
27．Which of the tbllowing is a practice recommend by the Vales?
A．Keeping more green-colored，smaller and more sustainable pets．
B．Keeping medium-sized dogs，for they tend to consume less food．
C．Recycling the pets and turning them into pet food when they die．
D．Force cats and dogs to stop eating meat and become vegetarians．
28．The writer’s attitude toward keeping dogs and pets might best be summarized as“__________”．
A．negative
B．ambiguous
C．positive
D．reversed
29．The underlined word“offputtin9”in the last paragraph is closet in meaning to“__________”．
