    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. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U. S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.

    Rosa Parks(1913～2005)

    On December 1,1955，in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil—rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.

    1.What is Jane Addams noted for in history?

    A. Her social work. B. Her teaching skills.

    C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background.

    2.What was the reason for 0’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?

    A. Her lack of proper training in law. B. Her little work experience in court.

    C. The discrimination against women. D. The poor financial conditions.

    3.Who made a great contribution to the civil—rights movement in the U. S.?

    A. Jane Addams. B. Rachel Carson. C. Sandra Day O’Connor. D. Rosa Parks.

    4.What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?

    C. They are pioneers. D. They are Peace—lovers.

    Dear Dick,

    How nice to hear from you again! You want to know what is going on in schools in china. In short, things have begun to improve since we called on school to reduce learning load. I don’t know about the others, but I used to have to do works even on weekends by doing endless homework and attending classes as well. Now, I have more free time. I can follow my own interests, such as reading books, visiting museums, and taking computer lessons. In the evenings, I can watch news on TV or read newspapers. What’s more, I can go to bed earlier. As far as I know, everyone is happy about the new arrangement of things.

    Best wishes!

    yours,

    A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.

    Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism—if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.

    The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.

    As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.

    1. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?

    A. They were made last week.

    B. They showed undersea sceneries.

    C. They were found by a cameraman.

    D. They recorded a disastrous adventure.

    2. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?

    A. Frank Hurley. B. Ernest Shackleton.

    C. Robert Falcon Scott. D. Caroline Alexander.

    3. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?

    A. Artistic creation. B. Scientific research.

    C. Money making. D. Treasure hunting.

    阅读理解。

    I am Peter Hodes , a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips—of those , 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.

    I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:“Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said:“In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me，re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.

    For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’re got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.

    1. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph1?

    A. provider B. delivery man

    C. collector D. medical doctor

    2. Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42hours?

    A. He cannot stay away from his job too long.

    B. The donor can only wait for that long.

    C. The operation needs that much time.

    D. The ice won’t last any longer.

    3. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?

    A. To London. B. To Newark.

    C. To Providence. D. To Washington.

    Vegetarian UK

    Vegetarians and vegans

    Vegetarians (people who don’t eat meat) and vegans (people who don’t eat or use any animal products) are becoming increasingly common in UK culture. 1. A recent survey showed that three million people were vegetarian. Visit a British supermarket and you will see a wide range of vegetarian ingredients and prepared meals on the shelves, including vegetarian sausages and vegan cheese.

    2._________

    So why are Brits cutting out meat? Many are unhappy about the poor treatment of animals and the effects of meat and fish production on the environment. Worries about food safety (for example BES or “mad cow disease”) also play a part. 3. According to the Vegetarian Society, a meat-free diet could help reduce the risk of certain cancers and heart disease, as well as obesity and high blood pressure.

    Organic farming

    Another rising trend is in how UK food is produced. Many people are rejecting GM (genetically modified) food and intensive farming practices. They want their food to be organically produced. Organic farmers use very few or no chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers and organic meat is produced without the use of drugs and antibiotics. 4.

    Organic food

    According to the Soil Association, three out of every four UK households now buy some type of organic food. Some get organic meat, fruit and vegetables from farmers’ markets, where products are sold directly to the consumer. Others have a box of organic fruit and vegetables sent to their homes every week. 5. Although it’s often more expensive, fans of organic food say it tastes much better!

    A. A healthy diet

    B. A balanced diet

    C. Many people buy organic products in their local supermarket.

    D. More and more people are deciding not to eat meat or use animal products.

    E. A healthy soil reduces disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy.

    F. Others choose to change their eating habits to improve their general health.

    G. Organically farmed animals also have more living space and more nutritious food.
