IV阅读理解:30分(共15小题;每小题2分,共30分)

A

All of my childhood and early, adult life, my mom weighed over 220 pounds (one pound =

0.454 kilograms). I could feel the pain that my mom experienced with her fatness.

I was never uncomfortable about my mother, but I think she was uncomfortable about herself, and that feeling was painful for all of us. And she began to lose weight.

After more than twenty years of battling obesity(肥胖), my mother completed a forceful eighteen-month diet that left her ninety pounds lighter than before. A new woman was born! At age twenty-eight, I got a new mom! For the first time, I met the woman my mother truly was, the beautiful little lady under the fatness. It wasn’t so much her new body that was the surprise, but rather her new spirit.

To celebrate her new size and to devote herself to dancing again, my mother joined a “Mrs. Forty-Plus” com petition, where she would have to model, give a speech and provide a dance performance. She told our family that she did not care if she won — she simply had always wanted to perform on stage.

She told each one of us, “I’m not doing it to win; I’m doing it to dance!”

The competition was exciting! I prayed(祈祷) that my mom would win, but while watching her on stage I was simply overjoyed just by her effort. To me, she had already won. She posed to perfection, her speech brought tears to everyone’s eye s, and her performance was wonderful.

That night, at age fifty-three, my mother was crowned (为......加冕) “Mrs. Forty-Plus”. She was the first person in our family to ever win such a title.

Nature responds to climate change. To understand it, we need to monitor (监察) key life cycle(循环) events - flowering, the appearance of leaves, the first frog calls of the spring -all around the world. But scientists can’t be everywhere so they’re turning to non-scientists, some times called citizen scientists, for help.

A group of scientists and educators set up an organization last year called the National Phenology Network. “Phenology” is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.

One of the group’s first efforts depends on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data (数据) about plant flowering and leafing every year. The program, called Project BudBurst, collects life cycle data on different kinds of usual plants from across the United States.

“People don’t have to be plant experts —they just have to look around and see what’s in their neighborhood,” says Jennifer Schwartz, an adviser with the project. “As we collect this data, we’ll be able to predict how plants and communities of plants and animals will respond as the climate changes.”

That data will help scientists predict not only how natural communities may change but also how these changes will affect people.

Scientists monitoring lilac (丁香) flowering in the western United States reported that in years when lilacs bloomed early —before May 20th —wildfires later in the summer and fall are larger and more severe. Lilac blooming could serve as an alarm(警报) bell, Jennifer says.

Improved monitoring is an important step toward predicting how natural communities will respond to climate change.

“The best way for us to increase our knowledge of how plants and animals are responding to climate change is to increase th e amount of data we have,” he says. “That’s why we need citizen scientists to get as much information from as many places on as many species over as long a time period as we can.”

64. The National Phenology Network is set up to ______.

A. research how nature makes response to climate change

B. keep a record of what is happening in nature

C. make a study of the first frog calls of the spring

D. judge what plants will die out in the future

65. The task of Project BudBurst is to ______.

A. grow more plants to improve the climate

B. collect information about usual plants

C. make citizens tell different plants

D. find out how many kinds of plants there are in America

66. By saying “Lilac blooming could serve as an alarm bell” in Para 6, Jennifer meant __.

A. lilac flowers could make people feel anxious or afraid

B. lilacs could warn people of the danger of wildlife

C. the blooming of lilacs could predict the happening of wildfires

D. the flowers of lilacs could be used to wake people up

67. The main idea of this passage is ______.

A. why we need to collect data about nature

B. when an alarm bell sounds for nature

C. what citizen scientists are in America

D. how nature responds to climate change

Dear MSN,

I live in San Diego. I’m single and would like to meet people near me. Can I do this on the Internet?

Searching in San Diego

Dear Searching,

On the Internet, you could easily go looking for love in all the wrong places, but here are lots of great ways to meet singles near you.

The Web is a good place to start. MSN also has international sites for Europe, Australia and South America.

There are several California-based MSN web communities where you can meet like-minded people near you as well as city-specific chat rooms for real-time interaction (互动). Hope for some clever friends. What about a little more excitement in your online interactions? Try the “Gaming Zone!”

I also tried MSN Search, looked under the “Personal” heading and found “Relationships”. Clicked on that, then found “Ads & Personals”, by “Region” and found San Diego specific personal from there. Try it!

Also, give “IRC” (Internet Relay Chat) and “Usenet Newsgroups” a shot. Many a net romance has started and then developed in these off-the-Web communities. If you’d rather make friends F2F (face to face), the Web has some helpful dating and redating tips.

A. getting help from MSN with his computer

B. winning the heart of a love from the web.

C. meeting single people online

D. looking for love in all the wrong places

A. shooting IRC and Usenet Newsgroups

B. giving you time and places to chat with others

D. supplying you with many methods to make friends

70. From the second letter we can infer that MSN treats an ordinary reader so kindly and warmly

because _______________.

A. it is its duty to help those who have trouble with their computers

B. it needs to attract as many readers as possible so as to make greater benefit

C. it likes to see more net romances to share their happiness

VII. 阅读理解.10分(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

If you're working on a project, the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you. As a director, I point, I suggest, I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go.

In the 1986 new movie, Jackie Gleason's character, Max Basner, gets unemployed from his job as a clothing salesman. The scene, shot (拍) on a boat, shows Max's despair(绝望) about being out of

work. I was looking for some gesture that would allow Max to show his feelings.

Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened. What could I possibly tell “The Great One” about acting? Out of fear I decided to direct by suggestion, an d I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene. “So Max is sad, right?” I said.

Gleason nodded.

“And he’s probably still carrying his pens with his name on them ---the ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?”

Gleason nodded.

“ So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired?” He was silent for a moment. “Why don’t I throw them all over the boat?” I stood up and turned toward the crew. “Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea. Let’s shoot it.”

After filming the scene, Gleaso n called me over and said with a smile, “Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow?” You and your team can discover the answers to problems together. When there are no prizes or gold stars for who gets the way to work out a problem first, you'll all benefit when everything turns out right.

A. make everyone work for you

第一卷

Protect Endangered Antelopes

The numbers of antelopes are decreasing. The reason for this is that they are being killed for the wool beneath their stomachs. Their fur is being used to make sweaters for people. As a result, antelopes are now an endangered species .

Since the loss of so many antelopes, the game keepers have begun to employ new methods for catching the hunters. At the same time, the WWF inspects the antelope reserves regularly so that the antelopes there are well protected. But this is not enough. We must make it clear to the public that antelopes are rare and invaluable. Anyone who hunts an antelope will be punished without mercy. Only in this way can we protect the antelopes from disappearing.
