More than 40 years ago，John Williams gave away all of his belongings and went off to the mountains to live the way people lived 100 years ago.For food he traps wild animals，fishes in the rivers，and plants whatever he can.John lives in a cabin he made by hand，out of trees he chopped down with an ax.Though he has no relatives he knows of，he does have a deer he raised from a fawn.The deer lives in the house in the winter and goes with John when he goes into the forest for food.Nobody lives within fifty miles of his cabin in the mountains and John has not been out of the mountains during the entire forty years.One day last year I hiked in to see how John lives.It was like going back in time.There were no roads，no stores，no noise，no pollution，not even a post office.Most notable of all，there were no people and that's just the way John Williams wants to keep his part of the world—without people.But there is a paradox in his story.John is an educated man.He has books and nobody knows how he got them.Mostly he reads about his world，the forest，the animals，the plants，and the mountains.He has seen airplanes flying overhead but does not want to know about them.For him，electricity is lightning，not light bulbs，refrigerators，televisions，or washing machines.John Williams is 85 years old and had not had a sick day in his life. He attributes his long life to the fact that it has nothing to do with people and in order that he might enjoy many more years of health，happiness，and solitude，I will not tell you where his kingdom lies.There is no room there for you or me.【文章大意】本文讲述了John Williams住进深山老林里四十多年里过着孤身一人的原始生活，并介绍了其生活的基本状况。

Men have always believed that they are smarter than women. Now, a study has found that while this is certainly true, men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.In the study, scientists measured the IQ of 2500 brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent, but also in the bottom two percent.The study's participants were tested on science, maths, English and mechanical abilities.Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group, there were also twice as many men among the dolts.The aggregate scores of men and women were similar.One of the study's authors, psychology professor Timothy Bates, said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their home."The female developmental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground.," the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates, of Edinburgh University, as saying.The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds.It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics. Women have always found to be steadier in their learning.A past study has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds, while men are continuing to receive more thirds.The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors women's steady approach.16. The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.A. man are smarter then womenB. man are more stupid the womenC. a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been foundD. men are more likely to receive first class university degrees17 According to Timothy Bates, less women are in the smartest group because _________.A. they are born stupidB. they have to spend more time to tale care of their home than menC. they don’t like to take riskD. they are not expected to be high achievers18. The underlined word tallies with in the eighth paragraph means________.A. agree withB. deal withC. go againstD. go with19. It can be inferred from the passage that______.A. Women are steadier in their learning.B. men are more ready to take risk in everythingC. women are securing more firsts and secondsD. women are doing much better in academy20. Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage?A. Why are men smarter than women?B. Why are men more stupid than women?C.

SCS Global Services （SCS）has evaluated a new methodology for measuring the carbon sequestration（封存）ability of soil under the Verified（验证）Carbon Standard （VCS）, a leading greenhouse gas （GHG）accounting system. The methodology, developed by The Earth Partners, will allow land managers who sequester GHGs in grasslands and farmlands to produce carbon credits for sale in the voluntary market.Managers of grasslands and farmlands can increase carbon sequestration in soil by practices such as changing grazing（放牧）practices and operating treatments designed to improve the variety and productivity of plant groups. The Earth Partners is presently piloting this methodology with farmers across seven million acres of the Palouse River and Columbia Plateau regions in the Pacific Northwest.“The VCS program has achieved an important milestone in now combining grassland and rangeland carbon offset（抵消，补偿）projects," said Dr. Robert J. Hrubes, Executive Vice President of SCS."SCS looks forward to approving and verifying agricultural carbon offset projects that use this very powerful new methodology."The VM0021 Soil Carbon Quantification Methodology is based on decades of soil carbon research and testing conducted by top soil scientists. The methodology was developed by The Earth Partners and verified by Environmental Services, Inc. as well as SCS Global Services. It is the first soil carbon methodology to be approved for use under the VCS."This widely tested methodology is the first to specially deal with soils in a market," said Steven I. Apfelbaum, Chairman of Applied Ecological Services, Inc. and Director of Science with The Earth Partners. According to Apfelbaum, soils represent the second largest living sink of carbon on the planet.1. The new methodology is assessed according to.A. The Earth PartnersB. the Verified Carbon StandardC. Environmental Services, Inc.D. Applied Ecological Services, Inc.2. Carbon sequestration in soil can be strengthened by.A. selling carbon credits in the voluntary marketB. changing grazing practices and operating treatmentsC. reducing the variety and productivity of plant groupsD. decreasing farmlands in the Pacific Northwest3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The VCS program proves to be successful in carbon offset projects.B. Many soil Carbon Methodologies have already been approved for use.C. The new methodology has been tested in many fields including soil.D. Soils seem to be the largest living sink of carbon on the planet.4. What is the attitude of SCS towards the new methodology?A. Opposed.B. Cautious.C. Doubtful.D. Approving.【参考答案】1—4、BBAD阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

At the age of ten I could not figure out what this Elvis Presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have. I mean, he had a head, two arms and two legs, just like the rest of us. About nine o’clock on Sa turday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers, one of the older boys, what it was that made this Elvis guy so special. He told me that it was Elvis’ wavy hair and the way he moved his body.About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage（孤儿院）were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville, Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a hair cut.That is when I got this big idea, which hit me like a ton of bricks.If the Elvis hair cut was the big secr et, then that’s what I was going to get.All the way to town I told everybody, including the matron（女管家）from the orphanage who was taking us to town, that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him.When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Buster Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.We finally arrived at the big barber shop, where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans（孤儿). I looked at the barber and said, “I want an Elvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis?” I asked him, with a big smile on my face. “Let’s just see what we can do for you, little man,” he said. I was so happy when he started to cut my hair. Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing. She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head, like he was telling her “No”. Then he told me they were not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts. Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor.1.In the author’s eyes, Elvis Presley was _________.A. disgustingB. admirableC. ambitiousD. dynamic2. From the passage, we can know that _________.A.
