    A

    From the jagged (锯齿状的) peaks of the Himalayas to the powerful Yangtze River that flows into the Pacific, China’s vast terrain (地带) and varied climate make it the sixth most biologically diverse nation on the planet.

    Since 1998, The Nature Conservancy has been working in China’s northwest Yunnan Province to protect some of the amazing natural and cultural diversity unique to this country for its future generations. In cooperation with Chinese local and state government agencies, the Conservancy established the Yunnan Great Rivers Project, which protects an area about the size of West Virginia.

    Did you know?

    ●China contains 10% of the world’s total species.

    ●At least 15% of China’s mammal species and 8% of its bird species are found nowhere else on Earth.

    ●Nearly 15,000 plant species are native to Yunnan Province.

    ●Yunnan is home to 75% of Tibetan medicinal herbs and 30 endangered species.

    What is the Nature Conservancy trying to do?

    Education for Sustainability (可持续性)

    The Nature Conservancy recognizes that environmental education is an important element of working closely with local communities to achieve sustainable conservation results. In response, the Conservancy launched a new program called Education for Sustainability which tests means of teaching and learning that combine conservation goals, social justice, and appropriate development and participation in a vision and mission for personal and social change.

    Promoting Green Tourism

    Tourism is both an environmental threat and an economic opportunity, with the potential to provide extremely needed income to northwest Yunnan. The Conservancy is working with local communities, government agencies, and tourism enterprises(企业) to develop strategies for “green” tourism which will limit the footprint of mass tourism while generating income for local people. In addition to combining tourism development and management at our five action sites, we assisted with regional marketing efforts to promote eco-tourism opportunities.

    1.Among the most biologically diverse nations on the planet, China ranks _______.

    A. tenth B. sixth C. fifteenth D. eighth

    Saturday was my husband’s birthday, but we spent most of the time in the car. We were driving to Phoenix for the weekend to celebrate his birthday and see the Warriors play the Suns.

    My husband is a lucky man. Not only has he lived to see another birthday, but he doesn’t mind driving 200 miles to see an NBA basketball game.

    In the car, his cellphone kept ringing with birthday greetings from family and friends. He put them all on the speakerphone so he could drive with both hands and I could listen in even though it wasn’t my birthday.

    Meanwhile, on the CD player, the Reverend AL Green began to sing Love and Happiness. A little good music makes a bad road better.

    Four hours later, we checked into hotel, got dinner and sat out a rooftop feeling glad to be alive.

    We had a great weekend—we ate too much, slept too little and the Warriors, well, they lost. But still, it was worth the drive.

    On the way home, I started thinking about birthdays. In our family, we celebrate four in January, four in February, and all the others throughout the year. Mine is next week.

    I felt lucky, like my husband, I will get cards and calls and maybe a few videos. I don’t need presents any more. When you’ve seen as many birthdays as I have seen, the only gift you truly want is to see one more.

    Birthdays are the mile markers on the road of life. They tell us how far we have come, but not how far we have gone.

    Life is a journey more than a destination. What matters is whom we choose as traveling companions, and how often we get to sit back and enjoy the ride.

    1.What helps to make their long journey drive to Phoenix better?

    A. The phone calls from their friends.

    B. The music played on their CD player.

    C. The beautiful view along the road.

    D. The desire to celebrate a nice birthday.

    2.What kind of birthday gift does the author really want?

    A. A wish to live another year.

    B. Calls and cards from friends.

    C. A live NBA game

    D. Videos from friends and family.

    3.What is the major lesson that the author took from the journey?

    A. People should learn to appreciate life together with their loved ones.

    B. Taking a long drive is a great way to celebrate a birthday.

    C. A meaningful life is like a journey with a clear destination.

    D. People shouldn’t rest on what they have but try to make new achievements.

    4.What could be the best title for this passage?

    A. My lucky Husband

    B. Driving to See a Basketball Game

    C. Mile Markers on the Road of Life

    D. A birthday journey

    A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.

    First, employers should take the responsibility for their retried employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.

    Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.

    In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately , as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.

    One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some workplaces especially for the elderly where they are independent.

    To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.

    1.What is the passage mainly about?

    A. The problem faced by the old in society.

    B. Why we should take responsibility for the old.

    C. How we can improve the lives of the old.

    D. Where the old can go to get their pensions.

    2.According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?

    A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire

    B. Increase saving levels of people during their working years

    C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old

    D. Make available pensions for those who have retired

    3.The underlined word “viable” most probably means ____.

    A. impossible B. practical

    C. useful D. successful

    4.What can be concluded from the passage?

    A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money

    B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age

    C. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people

    D. There is no single solution to the problem of the old

    One day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter（仲裁人）. I read the examination problem: “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer（气压计）. ”The student had answered; "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.”

    The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read：“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula（公式）to calculate the height of the building.”

    At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added, "Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.”,

    Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional(传统的) answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.

    The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.

    1.The student got a zero at the beginning because _____.

    A. the teacher wasn't satisfied with him

    B. his answer wasn't complete or correct

    C. the teacher didn't fully understand his answer

    D. his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics

    2.We know from the passage that _____.

    A. the student knew the expected answer

    B. the administrator told Bohr the height

    C. the author preferred Bohr's last answer

    D. the teacher was a very stubborn person

    3.We can learn from the passage that _____.

    A. instructors can teach students how to think

    B. arbiters can help students to get high scores

    C. students should be given more freedom in thinking

    D. teachers should make students use physical formulas

    4.What was Bohr's attitude toward his schooling?

    A. Optimistic B. Critical C. Approving D. Neutral
