19．A Good Custodian
I know a woman who tries hard to be a good custodian．
I pass her  every day after school as she pushes her cart down my
hallway．Of course，she is my building's cleaner，
One Tuesday morning I came into school and saw a （36）C on my
desk from my custodian，
It seemed that some unbearable first year students had damaged the bathroom in a particularly disgusting way and she had been （37）D to clean it．This took（38）B than she had expected． She had left the typewritten note on my desk to （39）A  for not being able to clean my room as she was （40）D to do．
At the beginning of the period，I shared her note with my first period（41）A When I mentioned that our custodian had apologized to us，their first （42）B was to volunteer to seek out and beat up those first year students for making our custodian have to clean up their （43）C．It turned out that just about all of my students also knew our custodian by name-all of them responded with smiles and （44）A for a long time about this time or that time when she'd（45）D each of them in the hallway．That she felt she needed to apologize （46）C a strong reaction from many of the kids．
As the class period was about to end，I asked them to（47）C  the floor like I do every period and thanked them for picking up any garbage （48）A  it wasn't theirs．My entire class disappeared； they each disappeared instantly（49）B their desks to pick up those annoying tiny pieces of paper that （50）B so easily from notebooks．One girl made a （an）（51）D that I later used with my other classes："Her job might be to clean the room，but she shouldn't have to clean up（52）A us．There's a difference．"
I believe that people know the difference between right and wrong．I believe that people appreciate it when others（53）D take care of them．And I believe that people，even adolescents who are not quite yet mature，appreciate it when they see someone who takes （54）Bin her work． Sometimes we need a （55）C of the things we take for granted…things like a good custodian to take care of us．

5．They are the sort of friends who are so close that they trust each other with their lives．If one fails the other is there to catch him．
They are Wellman，whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident，and Corbett，an experienced rock climber．Together，they climbed up Half Dome，the famous 2，000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park，through one of the most different routes．
During the climb，Crorbett took the lead，hit in the metal spikes（尖狀物） that guided the ropes and climbed up．Then，after Wellmanm pulled himself up the rope，Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again．This process was repeated time and again，inch by inch，for 13days．Wellman's job was not easy either．He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone．In all，Wellman figured that he had done 5，000pull-ups up the rope on the climb．
However，when the two men first met，they never talked about climbing．"He knew that was how I got injured．"Wellman said．Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training．
Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth．At one point，pieces of rock gave way，and Corbett dropped down quickly．Wellman locked their rope in place，stopping the fall at 20feet．His quick action probably saved his friend's life．
"Your partner can save your life---you can save your partner's life，"Wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends．"There are real close ties．"
21．Which of the following was a challenge for Corbett in climbing Half Dome？C
A．To climb up to remove the spikes．
B．To do 5，000pull-ups up the rope．
C．To climb it twice．
D．To lock the rope in place．
22．Why did the two men never talk about climbing when they first met？D
A．Corbett was poorly trained．
B．Wellman had lost interest in climbing．
C．Wellman hadn't decided whether to climb again
D．Corbett didn't want to hurt Wellman．
23．What do we know about Wellman？A
A．he stopped rock-climbing for some time．
B．he was disabled in a traffic accident．
C．he climbed Half Dome by himself．
D．he was saved by Corbett during the climb．
24．The main idea of the text is thatB．
A．two heads are better than one
B．friendship is very precious in life
C．the disabled should never give up
D．a(chǎn) man can be destroyed but cannot be defeated．

7．Does your country have a national species？In early 2013，BBC Wildlife magazine held a poll to ask readers to select a symbol for the UK．There were 10species to choose from，including the badger，the red squirrel，the otter and the robin．And the winner，with over 3，849votes（about 40% of the total），was the hedgehog!
The hedgehog is a small mammal with quills（刺）on its body．ft weighs between 250and 550grams，eats mostly insects，and curls up into a little ball when it feels threatened．It'sanocturnal（夜間活動的）animal that can be found in parts of Europe，Asia and Africa．There are no hedgehogs native to Australia or the Americas．
The name"hedgehog"came into use around the year 1450．It comes from the Middle English"hegge"（meaning"hedge"）．a(chǎn)nd"hogge"（which means"hog"）．Sadly，hedgehog numhers are declining in Britain．They've almost halved over the past 20years to less than a million．
Some people were disappointed that there were so few insects on the list．But Ben Hoare，an editor of BBC Wildlife，had a different opinion．He said，‘'All the other insects are very important，but I'm not sure they make a good national symbol．Fur and feathers tend to win over creepy-crawlies（爬行類昆蟲）．'
The hedgehog has long been popular in the UK．It's generally seen as a hard-working and friendly animal．And one of the characters from Beatrix Potter's books is a hedgehog called Mrs．Tiggy，Winkle．It's also popular with gardeners as it eats garden pests such as slugs and snails．
"Of course we consider them to be friendly because we see them in our gardens，"said Ben"And seeing all those hedgehogs run on the roads probably makes us even fonder of
them．

28．Why was-the hedgehog selected as a national symbol of the UK？D
A．It's good一looking．
B．It's rare in the UK．
C．It's endangered．
D．It's very popular．
29．Paragraph 2is mainly about the hedgehog'sA．
A．basic feature      
B．a(chǎn)ppearance         
C．eating habits       
D．weight
30．What is Ben Hoare's attitude towards hedgehog's victory？C
A．Doubtful．  
B．Disappointed．  
C．Supportive．  
D．Unsatisfied．
31．Mrs．Tiggy，Winkle might beB．
A．the name of a book     
B．a(chǎn) hedgehog       
C．a(chǎn) gardener         
D．a(chǎn) novelist．

（56）A，we can instill（灌輸） certain attitudes of mind-a willingness to accept uncertainty，and the lack of definite truths； independence of mind，and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to．
In addition to these （57）D qualities，a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of （58）D time．Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom-in courses in the humanities and the arts．Yet，at least as much （59）B will occur outside the lecture hall-on athletic fields，in music rooms，student theaters，concert halls，and so forth．
These are some of the （60）B of a liberal college education as I see them．I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard．
To begin with，I hope that we will think （61）A about what we want to accomplish here．It would be （62）C for you to set your sights on some limited goal，such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or another graduate school．
Second，I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here．There are many problems waiting for your help，and many people who could （63）B your efforts．
My final bit of advice．Whatever else we do，let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously．However great our problems may seem，however urgent our complaints，they are overshadowed（黯然失色） by the （64）Cof countless other people on our planet．

4．Farming is moving indoors，where the sun never shines，where rainfall is irrelevant and where the climate is always right．The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light，temperature，wetness，air quality and nutrition．It could be in a New York high-rise or a complex in the Saudi desert．It may be an answer to the
The world already is having trouble feeding itself．Half the people on Earth live in cities，and nearly half of those-about 3 billion-are hungry or ill-fed．Food prices，currently increasing，arebuffetedby dryness．Hoods and the cost of energy required to plant，harvest and transport it．And prices will only get more unstable．Climate change makes long-term crop planning uncertain．Fanners in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop．And the world is getting more crowded：by mid-century，the global population will grow from 6.8 billion to 9 billion．
To feed so many people may require expanding farmland at the expense of forests and wilderness，or finding ways to completely increase crop output．
Gertjan Meeuws has taken the concept of a greenhouse a step further，growing vegetables and house plants in enclosed（封閉的）and regulated environments．In their research station，water flows into the pans when needed，and the temperature is kept constant．Lights go on and off，creating similar day and night，but according to the rhythm of the plant．
A building of 100 square meters and layers（層）of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch，about 140，000 people．Their idea isn't to grow foods that require much space，like corn or potatoes．
Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful．Plants need only specific wavelengths of light to grow．Their growth rate is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions．They use about 90 percent less water than outdoors agriculture．And city fanning means producing food near the consumer，and there's no need to transport it long distances．
66．What can we mainly learn from Paragraph 2？C
A．The climate is worse and worse．
B．The city people live a hard life．
C．The world has difficulty feeding its people．
D．The world's population is increasing fast．
67．The underlined word"buffeted"in Paragraph 1 meansA．
A．badly affected        B．prevented      C．demanded      D．well achieved
68．Which of the following is true of the environments in the research station？C
A．The temperature is often changed．
B．Sunshine is in great need for plants．
C．Day and night depends on plants．
D．Air quality is controlled by plants．
69．It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuws's farmingB   
A．helps save sea water a lot                              
B．is highly adaptable
C．resembles greenhouse agriculture                        
D．suits the production of corn
70．What is the text mainly about？D
A．Development of indoor farming．                         
B．Great Revolution in farming．
C．Advantages of indoor farming．                          
D．Sunless，rainless indoor farming．

11．Areas of Tokyo which had usually been packed with office workers like sushi（壽司） restaurants and noodle shops were unusually quiet．Many schools were closed．Companies allowed workers to stay home．Long queues formed at airports．
As Japanese authorities struggled to avoid disaster at an earthquake-battered nuclear plant 240 km to the north，parts of Tokyo resembled a ghost town．Many people stocked up on food and stayed indoors or simply left．transforming one of the world's biggest and most populated cities into a shell of its usual self．
"Look，it's like Sunday-no cars in town，"said Kazushi Arisawa，a 62-year-old taxi driver，as he waited for more than an hour outside an office tower where he usually finds customers within minutes．"I can't make money today．"
Radiation in Tokyo has been negligible， briefly touching three times the normal rate on Tuesday，smaller than a dental X-ray．On Wednesday，winds over the Fukushima （福島） nuclear-power plant blew out to sea，keeping levels close to normal．But that does little to relieve public anxiety about a 40-year-old nuclear plant with three reactors in partial meltdown （熔毀）and a fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere after last Friday's earthquake and tsunami．
"Radiation moves faster than we do，"said Steven Swanson，a 43-year-old American who moved to Tokyo in December with his Japanese wife to help with her family business．He is staying indoor but is tempted to leave．"It's scary．It's a triple threat with the earthquake，tsunami and the nuclear radiation leaks．It makes you wonder what's next．"
56．The text is mainly aboutC   
A．the earthquake that happened in March
B．the government's effort to avoid disaster
C．the effects of the nuclear radiation leaks
D．the earthquake-battered nuclear-power plant
57．What did Kazushi Arisawa mean？D
A．There're usually more cars on Sundays．
B．He didn't care much about nuclear radiation．
C．He preferred to stay at home on Sundays．

8．Modern science suggests that a healthy lifestyle matters much to how long you can live and how well you live．Here are some tips for you to form a healthy lifestyle．
Keep a scientific diet．Keep in mind that sugar can be removed from our diet completely．Over intake of sugar is one of the main reasons for getting fat．Over intake of protein or fat and low intake of fiber can also lead to getting fat．We need only a few grams of protein every day to keep our body in order．Like rain to crops，not the more the better．
Be always in a good mood．There is a relationship between the mood and health．A good mood keeps you in high spirits．Thanks to the internet，we can enjoy and learn much without going out．Take a look at some online shops and pick up some bargains，enjoy music and movies and chat with some good friends．Just keep happy．
Enough sleep．Two studies show the reasons why teens and adults don't have enough sleep．With teens，a major reason is mobile phone use； with adults，it's work．Meanwhile，a third study of young children shows that a lack of sleep in early life may lead to serious problems in future．Everyone needs at least 8-hour sleep to recover from tiredness and the hurt caused by hard work in the daytime．
Proper exercise．Do exercise to keep away from fatness．Because of the quick pace of modern life，you don't have time to do exercise every day，but at least three times a week and 45minutes each time．
