阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
I am in my father’s house in Connecticut, sitting at a crowded table with my brother, my two sisters and all our partners, talking about a tree.
“He doesn’t want it cut down.” My sister says when my father has gone to bed and none of us speaks of the tree in his presence. “He says he used to climb it when he was a boy.”
When I was last here, a year and a half ago, for my father’s 90th birthday, Hurricane Irene drove seawater into the roads. The large tree that hangs over the houses swayed (摇摆)alarmingly, but it stayed up.
Last October, Hurricane Sandy accused a great deal of damage. Six months on, many of
the surrounding houses are on sale, but the tree that hangs over the house still stands.
“That tree,” my brother says, “has survived the two worst storms of the last 100
years.”
Though my brother thinks highly of the amazing staying power of the tree, my sister says that the tree should never have been planted: it stops light from reaching the house. My other sister’s partner says that all trees fall down eventually. There is plenty of evidence
for what he says: throughout the neighborhood, the remains of similarly sized trees lie on

their sides, with their roots in the air. During this discussion, I offer to pay a quarter of whatever is required to remove the tree.
“A guy I talked to,” my brother says, “told me it could cost us$10,000.”
As night wears on, the discussion becomes increasingly meaningless. There is no point in reaching any kind of agreement, since the decision is not for us to make. It’s my father’s tree, and he has refused to cut down the only thing in the neighborhood older than him.
21.When does the discussion take place? A. After lunch B. After supper
C. At the weekend D. Before their father’s 90th birthday
22. What can we learn about the two storms that the tree has survived? A. The first storm happened a year ago. B. The second storm lasted for six months.
C. The first storm damaged the tree more than the second one. D. They were the two worst storms of the last 100 years. 23. What is the author’s opinion about the tree? A. He admires its amazing staying power B. He thinks it should never have been planted C. He would like to have it removed D. He wants to sell it for some money 24. According to the text, the tree_________ A. is more than 90 years old B. has survived two storms in its life
C. will fall down after the author’s father’s death D. is the only large tree in the neighborhood

Humans may be a bad influence on their best friends---at least when it comes to problem-solving. In a task that wasn’t very tough, wolves performed must better than dogs. All the animals had to do was pull the lid off a food container, containing a sausage treat.
Monique Udell studies animal behavior at Oregon State University in Corvallis. She tested 10 pet dogs and another 10 dogs from an animal shelter. In one set of tests, a person was nearby but did not encourage or discourage the dogs. Those dogs typically spent 10 to 15 percent of their time gazing at the person. They spent a mere 5 percent of their time or less touching the container.
Udell offered the same challenge to wolves. These animals had been raised and fed by people but still lived outdoors. Here, the wolves didn’t look at the nearby person. Instead, they devoted about 90 percent of the time to struggling with the box holding a treat.
When someone walked around the dogs and actively encouraged them to keep trying to open the box, the dogs did spend more time handling the problem. A few more even managed to open the box. But their success rate still did not match the wolves. The dogs and wolves were also tested when no one was present. But even then, the dogs didn’t paw or teat the box much more than they did when a human was present. 29. According to paragraph 2, how did the dogs perform in the experiment? A. They showed reduced intelligence
B. They found the treat in the box less attractive
