You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?

Jane Addams(1860~1935)

Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Rachel Carson(1907~1964)

If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.

Sandra Day O’Connor(1930~present)

When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.

Rosa Parks(1913~2005)

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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it. “Have you seen the tree?” She asked as I was sitting in the backyard enjoying the autumn twilight (暮色). “The one down at the corner,” she explained. “It’s a beautiful tree—all kinds of colors. All the passers-by stop to have a look. You ought to see it.” I told her I would, but I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later, I was jogging down the street when a splash of bright orange caught my eyes. For an instant, I thought someone’s house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.

I approached the tree to look at it closely. There was nothing remarkable about the shape of the tree. It was a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its colors. Like the mess of an artist’s palette(调色板), the tree blazed a bright crimson(深红色)on its lower branches and burned with vivid yellows and oranges in its center, and deep red at its top. Through these colors were light green leaves as yet untouched by autumn.

Walking closer I noticed several bare branches near the top, their small black branches scratching the air like claws. The fallen leaves lay like a red carpet around the trunk.

As I was amazed at this beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s comments about the stars. “If the constellations(星座)appeared only once in a thousand years, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they’re up there every night, we barely give them a look,” he made a remark in Nature.

I felt the same way about the tree. Because its beauty will last only a week, it should be especially precious to us. And I had almost missed it.

Once in the 19th century when a man noticed a brilliant display of northern lights(北极光)in the sky over Massachusetts, he rang a church bell to alert the whole town’s people. That’s what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to awake the countryside to its wonder.

I didn’t have a church bell, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed the same simple but important question Mrs. Gargan had asked me: “Have you seen the tree?”.

1.What did the author’s neighbor remind him?

A. To appreciate the beauty of the sunset.

B. To find what happened at the street corner.

C. To draw a picture of a tree.

D. To enjoy the beautiful tree in all colors.

2.From the passage we know _________.

A. the author felt it precious to see the beauty of the tree

B. the author thought of the stars as beautiful as the tree

C. the remarkable scene of the tree only appeared in a thousand years

D. People never had a close look at the tree

3.How did the author call on people to enjoy the wonder?

A. He rang the church bell.

B. He passed on the same question.

C. He awakened all neighbors up.

D. He required people to the corner.

4.The best title of the passage can be ________.

A. Have You Seen the Tree?

B. The Most Beautiful Tree

C. One of the Wonders in Nature

D. The Precious Moment in Life

A new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon when smokers buy cigarettes they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet.

Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy. Their friends won’t agree when they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table. The European Union announced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictures on packets to discourage smokers. To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.

“The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to the young,” said David Byrne, an EU health official. “Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for cigarettes.”

The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packs of cigarettes. The warnings included “smoking kills” and “smoking can lead to a slow and painful death.”

So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers. According to studies, smoking is the single biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more than 650,000 smokers die, more than one person a minute.

1.Why will the “new weapon” hopefully work better according to the passage?

A. Because it is easier to understand.

B. Because it shows both dangers and effects.

C. Because it can be seen by the smokers’ friends.

D. Because it is more powerful to catch attention.

2.The pictures chosen by the EU are supposed to work on ______.

A. young smokers B. smokers in Ireland and Belgium

C. all smokers D. young smokers’ friends

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Canada has been the first to use the EU’s “weapon”.

B. Many smokers don’t quite believe the written warnings.

C. The new form of warning has already proved to work.

D. Smoking has caused more deaths than anything else in EU.

Anne LaBastille was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey. Her first experience with the wilderness was in the Adirondacks in the northeast of New York, where she worked at a summer resort (度假胜地) to earn money for college tuition (学费) by caring for the horses, giving riding lessons, and working as a waitress. And she had many chances to begin her adventure in the Adirondack wilderness.

Anne returned to school in the fall, but she continued to spend as much time as she could in the Adirondacks. She grew to love her time alone in the mountains. Anne graduated from college with a bachelor's degree in conservation of natural resources (资源) and began working for the National Audubon Society in Florida as a wildlife tour leader.

Although Anne took great pleasure in showing people the animals living in the Florida Keys and the Everglades National Park, she longed for the mountains in the northern parts of New York.

As a result, Anne decided to build another cabin deeper in the woods at Lily Pad Lake.
