13、ion CBS 13. “ I think Ill be 18 when I get my Doctor of Medicine,” Tanishq said. Tanishq started community college at age 7, and last year he received associates degrees (副学士学位) from American River College, a community college in Sacramento, in general science, math and physical science, and foreign

14、 language studies. At first, professors at the college didnt want Tanishq in their classes because of his age. But finally a professor agreed to let him attend if his mother, a doctor of veterinary medicine (兽医学) , also took the class.“ There were times when I had to explain general relativity and s

15、pecial relativity to my mom,” Tanishq said. Biology professor Marlene Martinez said the boy was not afraid to ask lots of questions.“ In lecture he would always pop up with “ so, does that mean - or what about this?” Martinez said. Tanishq has always picked up knowledge quickly, his father, Bijou Ab

16、raham, told NBC News.“ We tested him and discovered that he was pretty smart,” Abraham said. “ We were surprised when we started giving him advanced stuff and he was picking it up really fast.” Tanishq says child geniuses are often seen as odd(古怪) .“ When you think of a genius, you think of a mad sc

C Today, many people use plants from other places to design their yards. Well, do they have any influence on ani

21、mal living nearby? As we know, plants supply food for things like insects and plant-eating animals. In turn, birds and meat-eating animals feed on these insects and plant-eating animals. It is easy to see how important plants are.Although exotic plants may look beautiful, they can cause problems whe

22、n there are too many of them. I live in Virginia, USA, and sometimes see a plant- commonly know as Kudzu- that seems to cover everything in the area, even climbing over whole trees and houses.Kudzu is an unbelievable plant since it grows very fast. It was first brought to the United States from sout

23、h-east Asia around the 1870s as a crop that farmers could grow. However, Kudzu quickly came to be considered harmful throughout the southern United States.Since Kudzu grows fast in many different environments, it can completely cover areas of land quickly. The plant is also not eaten by any insects

24、or birds in the United States so it can grow unchecked. Kudzu can cover trees, bushes, and even houses. It costs the United States 500 million dollars a year to just keep Kudzu at bay. The plant is a perfect example of what scientists call an invasive species (入侵物种), which grows rapidly and outcompe

25、tes other native plants.All exotic plants have the possibility to become invasive. Not only are they costly, but planting them in gardens actually takes away food from insects. If everyone filled their garden with plants native to where they live, many lovely butterflies and other native creatures w

26、ould be attracted to their backyards! So , take a look out of your window- how does your garden grow?18. We can learn from the passage that Kudzu in Virginia_.

28、 does author mainly discuss in the passage? A. Everyone should learn to love nature. B. It is a hard job to grow plants in yards. C. Gardening has become a serious hobby. D. It is important to say no to exotic plants.D I always believe that the book is better than its film adaptation（改编）for many rea

29、sons. Many parents want their children to read the book before watching the film adaptation. This is because if you read the book, you have an image in your head of what the characters look like, what their voices sound like, and what the scene looks like, and usually its pretty good. But when you w

30、atch the film, all those appearance get changed. When you watch a movie, you begin imagining that the characters in the book in fact look like the actors that are in the film adaptation. The film creators invite famous people to act out the characters in the book. For example, in the book Percy Jack

31、son and the Lightning Thief, Percy is expected to “look” like a 12-year-old who doesnt know what hes doing ad would lose any fight he got into. But in the film adaptation, Percy looks sort of athletic, and is 16 years old. So when you are reading the book, you see him as a sort of weakling (弱者), but

32、 when you see the movie, the image you had of him in your mind shattered. On the other hand, the film adaptation can also be better than a book. With a movie, you dont have to read anything. You can watch a movie while doing housework if you want to. But with a book, the only thing you can do is read. You cant read a book and do housework at the same time; thats impossible.One thing that I dont like about films is
