Superman had it right: if you want to keep something safe, build a mountain fortress (堡垒)above the Arctic Circle. That’s the thinking ---more or less---behind the Svalbard Global Seed Vault（地窖）. Almost every nation keeps collections of native seeds so local crops can be replanted in case of an agricultural disaster. The Global Seed Vault, opened on the far-northern Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, is a backup for the backups. It’s badly needed---as many as half the seed banks in developing countries are at risk from natural disasters. The vault can hold up to 4.5 million samples, which will be kept dry at about -18°C. Even if the facility(设施) loses power, the Arctic climate should keep the seeds alive for thousands of years.On an unusual old farm in New York City, workers are also storing away the seeds of the future. In this unlikely place, researchers are putting the seeds from flowering plants and trees in a sleeplike state called suspended animation (假死状态). Many years from now, other workers will wake up the sleeping seeds and plant them where they're most needed. These seeds are like the legendary (传说中的) Rip van Winkle, who fell asleep under a tree and woke up 20 years later. The small farm, called the Greenbelt Native Plant Center, is part of a global effort to save threatened(受到威胁的) plants and trees. The most important step is to collect seeds at exactly the right time---when they are just about ready to fall from the plant. The seeds are being kept in storage at the Greenbelt Center. When planted in the future, these seeds could help restore damaged parklands and forests.40. Why is the Global Seed Vault located in a far-northern Norwegian island?A. Because it is a place to keep everything safe.B. Because half the seed banks in developing countries are at risk.C. Because the climate there is fit for keeping seeds for a long time.D. Because it is the best place to fight against agricultural disasters.41. The Greenbelt Native Plant Center in New York City is unusual because _____.A. it is an old farm in a big city.B. it is the largest seed company in the world.C. it is set up to save the threatened plants and trees.D. it stores the seeds of most kinds of plants in New York City.42. To store the seeds well and last as long as possible, the most important thing is to _____.A. collect seeds at the right time.B. store them at a constant temperature.C. dry them in specially designed rooms.D. make it enter a state of suspended animation.43. The passage is mainly about ______.A. Global Seed Vault.B. saving seeds for the future.C. the challenges of collecting seeds for storage.D. the efforts made by Greenbelt Center to save plants.【参考答案】40—43、CCAB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。

When I was eight, I saw a movie about an island that had an erupting volcano and jungles filled with wild animals. The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the Volcano. It was a low budget movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life. But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten.The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I’d owned was sold to pay debts that I didn’t even know existed. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce（离婚）in the family. I’d lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right．I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange lava(火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination!The next day, I quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadn’t painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in th e colors spreading across the canvas(画布) in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people startedbelieving in me, too. The first painting sold for $ 1500.The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim (火山口边缘) of the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dreamI had more than 40 years ago is now reality. I’m living freely and happily ever after.44. Why did the writer go to Hawaii?A. To make a living.B. To spend her holiday.C. To free herself from trouble.D. To realize her childhood dream.45. Which of the following is the writer’s dream?A. Get close to wildlife.B. Live a free and happy life.C. Live in nature with animals.D. Become a successful painter.46.

The $ 11 billion self –help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “ I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed.” But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply stress how unhappy they are.The study's authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is too positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your stupid friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you're just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the authors were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-respect. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable."Those with low self-respect didn't feel better after the forced self-affirmation(自我肯定). In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren't urged to think positive thoughts.The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Instead, meditation (静思) techniques can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic way. Call it the power of negative thinking.41. What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?A. It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.B. It is a highly profitable industry.C. It is based on the concept of positive thinking.D. It has provided positive results.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。

Kids can be taught valuable lessons on nature from the time they are old enough to observe their surroundings.With the help of a parent，grandparent or caregiver，a small child can learn to explore parks，wooded areas and gardens.Parents and caregivers should take every available opportunity to introduce them to plant life，beneficial insects，wildlife and more.These types of lessons are important.One of the best ways to explore nature with a small child is on their level.Look for wild flowers，and point out their beautiful colors and patterns.Even a very small child can learn to recognize wild flowers.However，it is also important to teach a small child the importance of leaving nature untouched for others to enjoy.Leaving wild flowers alone will allow them to spread and continue their life cycle.They look beautiful in a vase，but they are even more lovely in their natural habitat. The world in between blades (叶片) of grass and under the leaves of flowers is seldom seen by human beings.When looking for ways to explore nature with a small child，take the time to get down on the ground and look for insects including ants，fireflies，ladybugs，earthworms and caterpillars.A child should be taught that living beings are not toys.They have feelings and needs.A small child should be taught that life is valuable to every living creature.Kids that are taught to respect nature will grow to be more caring adults.Plant life is also an important part of our environment，and it is fun to explore with a child of any age.Plant some vegetables or flower seeds when seeking additional ways to explore nature with a small child.If space is lacking，start a small container garden.Fill a pot with rich organic soil，and have the child help plant the seeds and care for the seedlings (幼苗) as they grow.Not only is it fun and educational，but it is also a great bonding experience and a way to positively influence a small and impressionable child.【解题导语】本文介绍了如何帮助孩子观察自然，了解自然，使他们长大后成为有责任心和同情心的人。

Many skilled young people are being forced into part-time and unskilled work, the report says. It warns of a "crisis" with more than six million people so disillusioned they have given up looking for work. The ILO（International Labor Organization）wants governments to make job creation a priority. It wants more training schemes, and also tax breaks for employers."The youth unemployment crisis can be beaten but only if job creation for young people becomes a key priority in policymaking and private sector investment picks up significantly," said Jose Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs, executive director of the ILO's employment sector.Since 2007, the number of young people without jobs has risen by four million - up from less than 12%, the Global Employment Trends for Youth Report says. Almost 13% of people aged between 15 and 24 - or almost 75 million - have no work, although this is slightly down on its peak in 2009.In the European Union, one in five young people are looking for work, the report claims. Some 27.9% of youths were unemployed in North Africa last year —a rise of five percentage points on 2010. In the Middle East, the figure stood at 26.5% in the report's regional breakdown. Even in East Asia, perhaps the most economically active region, the unemployment rate was 2.8 times higher for young people than for adults, the report said.But, the ILO report reveals, the true picture of youth unemployment is even more pessimistic. Many young people are extending their time in higher education because they cannot find jobs. Others are taking part-time unskilled work because they cannot find work in the fields they trained for.The ILO says that more than six million young people worldwide have given up looking for work and are becomingly increasingly detached from society. By not using their skills they are losing them, the report says, and if there is no improvement in thejobs market soon, they may be not only unemployed, but unemployable.The ILO suggests offering tax breaks to businesses hiring young people and offering more programmes to help kick-start careers.63. Which of the following is true according to Jose Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs?A. Since 2007, the number of young people out of job has risen to 4 million.B. Nearly 13% of the young people have no work.C. Job creation should be made a key priority in policymaking.D. The youth unemployment rate can never go down.64. The various figures in paragraph 3 and 4 were used to show_________.A. The employment situation is serious only in the European UnionB. The global youth employment situation is depressingC. East Asia enjoys a high youth employment rateD. Compared with the situation in 2009, the youth employment in 2007 is slightly better65. According to ILO, the following are caused by high youth unemployment rate except__________.A. The government calls on young people to take up whatever job is availableB. Many young people are making their time in higher education longerC. Some young people are taking part-time unskilled workD. Many young people have given up looking for work66. The ILO offered many solutions to the crisis of youth unemployment,including___________.a. making job creations a priorityb. more training schemesc. encouraging public investmentd. tax breaks for employerse. offering more entrepreneurship programmes to help start careersA. a b c eB. b c d eC. a c d eD. a b d e【参考答案】63-66CBAD【2014高考英语湖北省八校联考】阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
