10.Of course,she wasn't really my aunt and,out of fear,I never called her that to her face.I only (21)D to her as"My Aunt Fannie"because it always made my father chuckle and my mother look (22)Bat both of us-at me for being (23)Cof my elder and at my father for (24)Amy bad behavior.I (25)D both reactions so I grasped every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.
As a young woman,my mother had worked in the (26)B of a large Victorian farmhouse owned by Fannie Cratty and her twin brother,Farnsworth.They represented the (27)Cof the Cratty line.Neither had married (28)Ahad any living heirs(继承人) and my father once told me in a whisper that it was because they were both too (29)Dto share their family wealth.During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever(30)Bby anyone in Glenfield.She was noted for her jam and for never (31)A the recipe with anyone else.(32)Cmy mother knew the recipe by heart,as long as Aunt Fannie was alive,she (33)B made the jam without Ms.Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.
One year,after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a (34)A and then made me promise that I would never spend it."(35)C this quarter,"she said,"and some day you will be rich.I still have my very first quarter given by my grandfather."It had obviously (36)D for her.So I followed her advice.
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie.In people's eye Aunt Fannie's (37)Bwas attributed to that secret recipe.But to me,it was just a (38)Drecipe.However,I keep them as (39)Cto hold firmly the valuable things in life.Money can make you feel rich for a while,but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy.And that is a (40)Bthat anyone can build.

5.Certain plants and animals can survive under what seem like impossible conditions.Blind fish live freely under ocean depths that are absolutely dark and cold.Bacteria live at temperatures of 600°F or a higher in places where the heat comes from the deep earth.One of the most remarkable achievements that we can observe directly is the ability of the plants and animals in the desert.
In the Death Valley,temperatures of 134°F in the shade have been officially reported Yet lizards live there,along with 600species of plants,30species of mammals?and even fish.While the days are terribly hot,the nights are extremely cold.Temperatures can fall down by as much as 50°F.
Plants called xerophytes are perfectly adapted to the extremely dry conditions.These plants have survived by developing techniques for coping with their environment.Like all living things,they must have water,and they get it in several ways.
The mesquite and the prickly (多刺的)pear pick up moisture in opposite ways.The mesquite sends its roots down as deep as 60feet to tap the water table.The prickly pear,on the other hand,spreads its roots wide.These roots are shallow but they pick up whatever moisture is available at ground level.The paloverde saves water by shedding leaves in times of extreme drought The barrel cactus makes sure of a water supply by storing water in the plant itself.The saguaro cactus stores so much water that it can survive years of drought.But even the saguaro will die sooner or later if there is no rain.All these plants,although well adjusted to their environment,must eventually get water.
Even if the parent plants die,there are always seeds to keep the species alive.Since the desert is so tough,thousands of seeds must be released to produce one plant.To get rooted,these seeds must have exactly the right conditions.They can lie dormant(休眠)for months,even years,until a little water stimulates the sparks of life.

47.Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage?B
A.The Death Valley is a living museum,where many plants and animals exist.
B.Plants and animals can survive in the desert by adjusting to the environment.
C.Days in desert can be deadly hot,while nights can be terribly cold.
D.Bacteria survive in the ocean depth and the desert burning heat.
48.The prickly pear survives in the desert byC.
A.shedding leaves in times of drought
B.sending its roots down 60feet
C.spreading its roots wide
D.storing water in itself
49.The word xerophytes possibly comes from two Greek word roots that have the
meaning ofD
A.special techniques
B.living animals
C.water sheds
D.dry plants
50.What is the most important information the writer wants to tell readers in the last paragraph?C
A.Seeds can keep plants alive.
B.Water is a must in the desert.
C.Desert plants depend on seeds as well as water.
D Seeds get dormant for a very long time in the desert.

15.A recent study of ancient and modem elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct(不同 的)species.
     The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard Universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modem elephants-the Asian elephant,African forest elephant,and African savanna elephant.
     Once they obtained DNA sequences(序列)from two fossils(化石),mammoths and mastodons,the team compared than with DNA from modem elephants.They found to their amazement that modem forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.
     The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years.The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths.This result amazed all the scientists.
    There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species,but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.
    Previously,many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species,despite the elephants'significant size differences.The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5 metres.The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons,roughly double the weight of the forest elephant.But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species.However the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.
     Alfred Roca,assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois,said,"We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purposes.Since 1950,all African elephants have been conserved as one species.Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinctive animals,the forest elephant should become a bigger priority(优先)for conservation purposes."
46.One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that ofD.
A.the Asian elephant                       B.the forest elephant
C.the savanna elephant                     D.the mastodon elephant.
47.The underlined word"divergence"in Paragraph 4 means"C."
A.evolution      B.exhibition             C.separation       D.examination
48.The researchers'conclusion was based on a study of the African elephantsA
A.DNA        B.height                 C.weight          D.population
49.What are Alfred Roca's words mainly about?A
A.The conservation of African elephants.
B.The purpose of studying African elephants.
C.The way to divide African elephants into two units.
D.The reason for the distinction of African elephants.
50.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?C
A.Naturalists'Beliefs about Elephants
B.Amazing Experiments about Elephants
C.An Unexpected Finding about Elephants
D.A Long Scientific Debate about Elephants.

2.We were standing at the top of a church tower.My father had brought me to this place in a small town not far from our home in Rome.I wondered why.
"Look down,Elsa,"father said.I gathered all my courage and looked down.I saw the square in the center of the village.And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of the twisting,turning streets leading to the square."See,my dear,"father said gently."There is more than one way to the square.Life is like that.If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road,try another."
Now I understood why I was there.Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the bad lunches that were served at school.But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to Father for help,he didn't say anything.Instead,he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson.By the time we reached home,I had a plan.
At school the next day,I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home.Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly.She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered(喷溅出)"The cook must have gone mad!"Quickly I told her what I had done,and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me.I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago.I wouldn't stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal.Father's wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

51.The writer's father took her to the top of a church tower toC.
A.enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole town
B.find out how many ways lead to the square

D.help her forgot some unpleasant things earlier that day

A.Do something delicious for lunch.
B.Taste her bad lunch.

D.Speak to the school about lunch.
53.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5means?D

B.The matter of lunches was successful.
C.Her father persuaded her mother successfully.
D.The way the author thought of was effective.
54.What did the writer's mother think of her lunch soup after she tasted it?C
A.It was delicious.
B.It wasn't so bad as the author said.
C.It couldn't be worse.
D.It was as good as her cook did.
55.By sharing her own experience,the writer tried to tell usA.
A.when one road was stopped,we should try another
B.how bad the lunches of her school were
