    2．I am a volunteer．I set out to help clean up the beach after a violent storm a year ago．The sight I saw was heartbreaking．The broken houses seemed to be crying．I couldn't describe how I felt．But something special among the debris （废墟） turned my day around．
    I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November．As I removed the debris from the beach，I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand．It was a jacket，and I was excited since Halloween（万圣节） was coming and I thought I had found a great costume（戏服）．After picking it up，I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point （西点军校），the United States Military Academy，and it had the name"deGavre"written inside．I realized the jacket might be important to someone．I decided to find the jacket's owner and return it．
    I called the West Point Museum，considering that if the family couldn't be found，the jacket should go there．The museum connected me with Kim McDermott，Director of Communications for the Academy's Association of Graduates．Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre，who was a 1933graduate and a war hero，but passed away in 1993．
    I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page，asking if anyone could help us find the family．In less than two hours，someone had found and called the hero's wife，Teresa．Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family，their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook．
    Finding Chester deGavre's jacket and connecting to his family with the help of Facebook have been so meaningful to me．I've formed a bond（纽带） with amazing people I might have never met．
    25．Seeing the sight（景象） after the storm，the author felt veryA．
    A．sad              
    B．surprised               
    C．nervous     
    D．disappointed
    26．What did the author think at first after he saw the jacket？B
    A．He should try to find its owner．
    B．He could wear it for Halloween．
    C．He should return it to West Point．
    D．He could send it to others for free．
    27．The author called the West Point Museum because he thoughtD．
    A．the jacket was made there
    B．the jacket's owner worked there
    C．the workers there needed the jacket
    D．the jacket might be collected by the museum
    28．According to the text，Kim McDermottC．
    A．happened to be the owner of the jacket
    B．was a student graduating from West Point
    C．could find a record of the graduates
    D．was a family member of the author．

    17．The loudest public food fight right now is about GMOs （转基因生物），or genetically modified organisms．Scientists add genes to corn，soybeans，and other plants，usually to protect the crops from insects or herbicides．Proponents say that makes crops easier to grow and cheaper while opponents believe that GMOs have been linked to depression，allergies，infertility，and even cancer．Many consumers and food-safety inspectors worry that GMOs cause an unnatural threat to our health and the environment．
    Although GMOs have been in our food supply for 20years，the controversy has moved to center stage．Recent documentaries and experts on The Doctor Oz Show have fanned the flames．About 75percent of consumers say they are concerned about the safety of genetically modified foods．Two states in the USA recently passed bills requiring labeling （标记） of all foods made with GMOs； many other states are considering mandatory labeling．The European Union （EU） already requires labeling，and several countries，including France，have banned the planting of genetically modified crops．So are GMOs safe-or should you avoid them at all costs？Here，a look at the evidence．
    Roughly 90% of the corn，canola，soybeans，and sugar beets grown in the United States have bits of DNA that originally came from a lab．Unless you've been eating only foods labeled 100percent organic-which must be GMO-free-you probably have GMOs in your system now．
    In a big red-flag-raising study，French researchers reported last year that rats developed huge tumors （瘤） after living on genetically modified corn for two years．"Genetic engineering can have unintended consequences，"says Bill Freese，science policy analyst for the Center for Food Safety．Artificial genes force plants to produce unnatural proteins （蛋白质），he says，and no one knows how those may affect human health．
    But scientists immediately criticized the French study．For one thing，the types of rats used in the study were highly prone （倾向于） to cancer，so it was predictable that some would develop tumors after eating GMOs，notes Nina Fedoroff，a professor of biology and life sciences at Penn State University．She adds，"We've eaten these foods for 20years and aren't walking around with giant tumors．"
    Hundreds of other studies have found no trouble with GMOs，says Ruth MacDonald，professor at Iowa State University．After looking at more than 130research projects，the EU concluded that there's nothing especially risky about them．
    In September，the editors of Scientific American denounced the efforts to label GMO foods，stating that there's no proof that GMOs can endanger people's health．Adding genes to crops isn't any more dangerous than traditional breeding （繁殖），which farmers have done for thousands of years，the American Association for the Advancement of Science declared in 2012．Old methods of modifying crops mixed tens of thousands of genes with unpredictable results．The fact that scientists can now insert single genes into corn or soybeans shouldn't raise any new alarms，says Fedoroff．
    There doesn't appear to be a scientific reason to ban GMO foods from your cupboard to protect your health．But it is healthy to limit your intake of the processed foods that often contain them．And don't assume that GMO-free packaged good is necessarily healthy．Organic cookies can still contain too much sugar or salt．
    63．Which of the following have made the argument about GMOs fiercer？B
    A．Some consumers and inspectors．
    B．Some documentaries and experts．
    C．Some newspapers and magazines．
    D．Some scientists and administrators．
    64．We can infer from the passage thatC．
    A．some countries like France have suffered severely from GMOs
    B．most crops grown in the United States are genetically modified
    C．EU consumers can buy GMOS or GMO-free foods as they like
    D．GMO-free foods can hardly be found in American markets now
    65．The underlined word"denounced"in Paragraph 7means"A"．
    A．condemned
    B．confirmed
    C．advocated
    D．assessed
    66．The author writes the passage for the purpose ofC．
    A．appealing to people to reject GMO foods
    B．proving GMO goods harmless for humans
    C．sharing with people opinions about GMOs
    D．throwing doubt on the results of researches．

    3．How many times do you have to fail at something in order to succeed？Did you know that THomas Edison failed 10，000 times while trying to invent the light bulb？He certainly had a"learn and do"atfitutle!He was able to turn each failed experiment into a successful way to invent the light bulb．So what can we learn from this？You can adopt the"fail forward"strategy too．
    In reality，none of us axe failures．It's true，we will experience times of defeat，problems，and disasters，but remember，each one of us is meant to succeed in life．However，we must choose our fate．Henry David Thoreau said，"Men are born to succeed，not to fail．"
    We can never be forced into having a happy and successful life．Whether or not you experience success or failure is completely controlled by what you think and do．You are the only one who can choose the thoughts that will keep you from achieving the abundant life and joy that you are meant to have．No matter how difficult things may seem，say to yourself．"I choose to be a happy and successful person．"
    Why do some people get what they want and others fail？I believe that getting what you desire in life takes planning，and it doesn't just happen by luck．So how do we plan for success？
    It has been proven that successful people do things more differently．than unsuccessful people．They recognize the patterns of success and follow them；one of those patterns is planning．They plan what they think and do，which sets them apart．They know exactly what they desire，have an intelligent plan for getting it，and then work their plan．They know what success will cost them in terms of time，energy，and results，and they devote the right resources toward making their plans happen．
    56．The writer refers to Thomas Edison toB．
    A．introduce his invention     B．put forward the topic of the text
    C．praise the inventor        D．show the way to success
    57．What Henry David Thoreau said implies thatA．
    A．everyone is able to be a success
    B．most people lack the confidence to succeed
    C．everyone can do nothing but succeed in his life
    D．no one can succeed without difficulty and suffering
    58．What is stressed in Paragraph 3？D
    A．You can have a happy life by chance．
    B．Your thoughts destroy your happy life．
    C．You are sure to experience hardship in your life．
    D．Your life is controlled by your attitude and your actions．
    59．The main idea of the last two paragraphs is thatA．
    A．planning plays an important role in success
    B．successful people differ from unsuccessful ones
    C．successful people have many patterns of success
    D．devoting the right resources cma help reach one's goal
    60．Which of the following would match the text？D
    A．All roads lead to Rome．         B．Think twice before you act．
    C．No pains．no gains．         D．Failure is the mother of success．
