15、AWhen Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter(炼铜厂), and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on

16、, something happened inside him.Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No.”Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortun

17、ately, his teachers said there werent any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It would be a waste of his life to try to do it. Everyone knew that, he was toldEven if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldnt get his idea accepted.Paul later got married and had some kids. But his dream

18、would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote. Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into

19、the wasteland and started planting.And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hi

20、red Paul to do what he was already doing.Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child.36When P

21、aul was a boy, _.Ahe had decided never to leave his hometownBthe economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelterCno laws were made to protect the environment against pollutionDhe had determined to stop the copper smelter polluting the area37Why did Paul go to college to study the science of pl

22、ants?AHe wanted to find out the best way to save the area himself.BHe was interested in planting trees since he was young.CHe wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help him.DHe thought his knowledge would make his advice more persuasive.38What does the underlined phrase “the plain common sense”

23、 probably refer to?AThat it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.BThat his normal work and life would be greatly affected.CThat no one would like to join him in the efforts.DThat he had to keep everything he did secret.39The message of the passage is that _.Aaction speaks louder than wo

24、rdsBperseverance(持之以恒) will work wondersCGod helps those who help themselvesDmany hands make light workBAmazed zoo visitors watch as an orangutan(猩猩) named Bonnie swings along cables way above their heads. Shes not making a great ape escape; shes taking a “highway” to higher learning.Bonnie is trave

25、ling on the Orangutan Transit System, called the O-Line, at the National Zoo in Washington, D.CThe O-Line stretches from the Great Ape House, where Bonnie lives, to an exhibit called Think Tank. There she and other orangutans participate in a study trying to answer the questions: Do animals think? I

26、f so, how?Think Tank scientists look for clues that an animal is thinking. A baby orangutan following its mother is probably not thinking. But an orangutan using a stick to reach honey in a beehive probably is thinking. Its figuring out how to obtain a sweet treat.To learn more about what the orangu

27、tans are thinking, Think Tank scientists are teaching orangutans a language of symbols. The apes dont actually speak. They point to the symbols to show their thoughts.Each symbol stands for a word. Different categories of the symbols have their own shapes. Food symbols, for example, are rectangles(矩

28、形); object symbols are circles; and verbs are diamonds. Computers help the orangutans learn the symbolic language. After the apes are shown an apple, for example, their task is to touch the apple symbol on a computer screen. They can do so. All six orangutans have learned a few symbols, but only Azy

29、 and Indah have learned eight symbols and can use the computer. Azy and Indah choose to live at Think Tank. The others commute(往返) from the Great Ape House on the O-Line. All attend Think Tank sessions, though none are made to do so. “Theyre eager to learn”, one of the scientists says. “They never t

30、urn me down!”40What is the main idea of the passage?AScientists are doing research on whether animals can think and how they think.BBiologists have found that orangutans are more intelligent than other animals.COrangutans at the National Zoo can be taught to communicate with humans easily.DAnimals a

31、re being taught by scientists to speak to one another at the National Zoo.41The Orangutan Transit System refers to _.Aa way that can teach animals to learn things and communicate quicklyBa place for various animals in the National Zoo to participate in the studyCa walkway for the orangutans to trave

32、l to different sections of the zooDa line for the orangutans to travel between the Great Ape House and the Think Tank42According to the passage, scientists use a system of symbols to help _.Afind out which orangutan can learn the symbolic language fastBattract all the orangutans to live together at

33、Think TankCcommunicate with the orangutans and understand them betterDunderstand whether animals can learn a language and express themselves by using it43It can be inferred from the passage that _.Aa baby orangutan has his own intention though following his motherBmany animals in the wild can learn

34、symbolic languages to express their thoughtsCthe cleverer the animals are, the more knowledge they would like to learnDorangutans can form mental images in their minds when they see objectsCUnless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids(小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as w

35、e know it, say some scientists.Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and dont threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth. Buy $ 50 million worth of new t

36、elescopes right now. Then spend $ 10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one，the scientists say，well have a way to change its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldnt be cheap

37、. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500，000 years. Sounds pretty rare-but if one did fall，i

38、t would be the end of the world.“If we dont take care of these big asteroids，theyll take care of us，”says one scientist.“Its that simple.” The cure，though，might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth?“The world has less to fear from doomsday(毁灭

39、性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them，” said a New York Times article.44What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? AThey are heavenly bodies different in composition. BThey are heavenly bodies similar in nature. CThere are more asteroids than meteoroids. DAsteroid

40、s are more mysterious than meteoroids.45What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth? AIt is very unlikely but the danger exist. BSuch a collision might occur once every 25 years. CCollisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected. DIts still too early

41、 to say whether such a collisin might occur.46What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter（改变） the course of asteroids? AIt sounds practical but it may not solve the problem. BIt may create more problems than it might solve. CIt is a waste of money because a collision of

42、asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.DFurther research should be done before it is proved applicable.47We can conclude from the passage that . Awhile pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world Basteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near futur

43、e Cthe worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime DWorkable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth.DFor most of us, dieting is an annoying fact lifeWith so much information available, it can be diffi

44、cult to tell which weight-loss strategies really workLets start by taking a look at some confusing myths (荒谬)。1All calories are created equal.What you eat, not how much, is the main factor behind weight gainIn fact, the body burns many more calories digesting carbohydrates than it does digesting fat

45、 ,For every 100 calories of carbohydrates we consume in excess (超过)of our daily requirement ,only 75 are turned into body fat .But 97 of every 100 excess fat calories are turned into body fat .2Desserts and fast foods are forbidden.Some experts advise against describing foods as “ good ”and “bad ”.E

46、ven cakes ,pies ,and ice cream can be worked into a diet, Moderation is the keyBesides ,a plain hamburger on a bun is still a healthful choice ,So is baked chicken or a green salad with low cal,dressingBut watch out for French fries, and fried chicken of fish .3It makes no difference whether youre t

47、op or bottom heavyIn fact ,where weight is distributed makes all the differenceRecent studies suggest that people who store fat on the upper body (apple shape )rather than on hips and thighs (大腿)脚（pear shape ）may have an increased rick of heart disease.There is probably little you can do to change h

48、ow your body is genetically programmed to store fat ,But you can lost excess weight overall .4Fasting is the fastest diet .Some studies suggest that suddenly reducing calorie intake puts the body into “starvation mode ”,which causes it to conserve calories and decreases the rate of digestion .The mo

49、re often you deprive yourself of food ,the better your body may get at storing calories ,So ,in the long run ,repeated fasting may actually weaken your weight loss efforts.5To keep weight off ,simply watch what you eat According to studies ,exercise combined with dieting ensures weight loss better t

50、han dieting alone doesExperts also agree that having regular, moderate exercise is more important than occasional exercisesResearchers encourage patients to take the stairs instead of the elevator and park the car far from where you are going and walking.6Its all your fault that youre fat Research a

51、t the University of Pennsylvania, School of Medicine indicates that body shape and size are in large part decided by a persons genes. In short ,some people are naturally more likely to be fat than other.Moreover, someone who was fat in childhood will have more fat cells than a person of average weig

52、ht. Once made, the cells may enlarge or shrink (缩小),but they never disappear.Yet genes dont have to control your shape ,The size of your fat cells depends on you - on your eating habits and lifestyle ,Most important ,before getting caught up in dietary myths ,let good sense shape your eating habits

53、,Your body will thank you for it .48Which of the following statements is true?AAll calories are created equal .BYou can decide whether fat will be stored on your upper body or lower body.CWhile you are on a diet never eat desserts and fast foodDThe size of fat cells is decided by our eating habits a

Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little befo

57、re meeting U. S Route 20. Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt impressed，stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots. ” The purpose of th

58、ese causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U. S Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota. He wished for the thousandth time

59、in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fi

Robert Kincaid was alone as its possible to be an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends. He th

61、ought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fiftytwo now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinger. She knew all of the Weavers songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was

62、home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang. His long absences two or three months sometimes were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague (not clear) sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldnt when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and, she was gone. The note read, “Robert, i
