I was going to write about gardening this month and the effects on abnormal children.

In the few years since Arthur’s diagnosis my family and I have been 36 a lot with our youngest son. We have 37 that like most children, he is happiest outside, and he’s in his element when either walking or doing things in the open air.

38 , the garden has become a bit like an open sensory room. When we’ve had guests at home，Arthur would behave well. But the 39 is where we’ve gone and he’s almost instantly 40 . In the early days a little grass in the garden worked wonders. It made the process of 41 more interesting to him, and meant that now thankfully he continues to eat a wide 42 of fruit and vegetables. Of course anyone who gardens knows

how 43 gardening can make you feel. I’ve heard time and time again from people how powerfully healing the 44 of gardening can be.

I believe that gardening has the 45 to empower those with autism(自闭症) — to build confidence that will 46 into other areas of their lives.

One landscape designer has an 11-year old son with autism, and says she has found gardening to be one of the 47 but most effective ways of helping him. 48 my youngest son learns to 49 the world and all that is 50 of him, to find his voice and make himself heard, the garden remains a(n) 51 .

Having a child with autism has taught us so many things. Entering his 52 to bring him more into ours has been challenging, but ultimately it has 53 our lives. One thing’s 54 : our future will not be normal — it will be a real rainbow of vibrant difference 55 . I think the world will be all the better for it.

36. A. through B. on C. off D. along

37. A. investigated B. revealed C. found D. illustrated

38. A. In the end B. Over time C. At best D. As such

39. A. garden B. room C. family D. yard

The Great Barrier Reef is more than worthy of its name. Coral of all shapes, sizes and colors cover more than 130,000 sq. mi. off the coast of Australia, making it the world’s largest reef system and supporting a surprising variety of marine (海上的) life.

But today the Great Barrier Reef is dying. The temporary warming effect of a major El Nino event—combined with ongoing climate change—has heated the waters around the reef to nearly unprecedented levels. That warming has in turn driven a mass bleaching(漂白；使变白) that has sucked the color—and the life—out of the coral. And the Great Barrier Reef isn’t alone. “This is the longest bleaching event ever recorded,” says David Kline, a Scripps Institution of Oceanography scientist. “It’s truly global, and it’s looking very severe.”

Bleaching occurs when ocean disruptions—warm water, pollution, algae overgrowth—drive away the symbiotic organisms that live on the coral and give it color. Within weeks, the reef could die, leaving behind a forest of lifeless, bone white coral. Scientists believe the bleaching now under way may kill more than 15% of the world’s coral.

It’s not just a matter of aquatic aesthetics. Reefs act as natural barriers that protect coastal communities from storms and flooding. Marine life depends on coral reefs as habitats, while coastal towns depend on them as tourist draws.

But a bigger worry may be what the bleaching suggests about future climate change. The rapid death of coral reefs demonstrates that climate change is irreversibly affecting the world right now, even as policymakers treat warming as something to be dealt with in the future. “Climate change may be slow sometimes, but other times it takes great leaps forward,” says Steve Palumbi, an ocean scientist at Stanford University. “This is one of those

leaps.”

Local solutions—like reducing fishing and cleaning up pollution—can help slow reef loss, but scientists say a global problem requires a global solution. Nearly 200 countries agreed last year to work to keep global temperatures from rising more than 3.6°F by 2100, but that goal will be tough to reach. And if governments fail, coral reefs will be only the first victims.

58. Which of the following is accounting for t he Great Barrier Reef’s dying fortune ?

A. bleaching has little impact on a global scale

B. the waters around the reef are extremely heated

C. El Nino event induces influential climate change

D. the color and the life of the coral has been sucked by bleaching

59. The reef loss can effectively be slowed by _______.

A. reducing fishing and cleaning up pollution

B. achieving the goal of global temperature rising ceiling

C. attaining the goal of global temperature falling lower limit

D. avoiding damaging coral reefs physically and artificially

60. What is the best title of the passage?

A. El Nino and the Great Barrier Reef

B. The Barrier of the Great Barrier Reef

C. Bleaching and the Great Barrier Reef

D. How to Solve Problems the Great Barrier Reef Faces

C

Reducing food waste around the world would help curb emissions of planet-warming gases, reducing some of the impacts of climate change such as more extreme weather and rising seas.

Agriculture is a major driver of climate change, accounting for more than 20% of overall global greenhouse gas emissions in 2010. Avoiding food loss and waste would therefore avoid unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions and help slight climate change. Up to 14% of emissions from agriculture in 2050 could be avoided by managing food use and distribution better.

Between 30% and 40% of food produced around the world is never eaten, because it is spoiled after harvest and during transportation, or thrown away by shops and consumers.

The share of food wasted is expected to increase quickly if emerging economies like China and India adopt western food habits, including a shift to eating more meat. Richer countries tend to consume more food than is healthy or simply waste it.

As poorer countries develop and the world’s population grows, emissions associated with food waste could soar from 0.5 gigatonnes (GT) of carbon dioxide equivalent per year to between 1.9 and 2.5 GT annually by mid-century.

It is widely argued that cutting food waste and distributing the world’s surplus food where it is needed could help tackle hunger in places that do not have enough — especially given that land to expand farming is limited. But the potential for food waste curbs to reduce emissions should be given more attention.

The researchers found that while global average food demand per person remains almost constant, in the last five decades food availability has rapidly increased —hiking the emissions related to growing surplus food by more than 300%.

The researchers did not look at how food waste could be shrunk, but initiatives to tackle the problem are already on the rise in both developed and developing countries. In January, for example, 30 company heads,

government ministers, and executives with foundations, research groups and charities launched a coalition to work towards cutting food waste by half and reducing food loss significantly by 2030.

The aims are in line with the new global development goals that took effect this year.

“Champions 12.3” —named after the food-waste goal number —includes the bosses of Tesco, Nestle, Rabobank, Unilever, Oxfam America, WWF International and the Rockefeller Foundation.

Andrew Steer, another coalition member who heads the World Resources Institute, noted then that if food loss and waste were a country, it would be the third largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world.

“Food loss and waste hurts people, costs money and harms the planet,” he said in a statement. “Cutting (it) is

a no-brainer.”

61. The climate change can be eased by the following measures except _______.

A. to ensure the management of food use and distribution

B. to develop good eating habits such as sticking to eating less meat

C. to carry out the plans of shrinking food waste designed by researchers

D. to prevent food loss and waste after harvest and during transportation

62. What could happen to emissions related to food waste by 2050?

A. Emissions of carbon dioxide can rise by up to 5 times yearly.

B. Emissions related to growing surplus food will increase by 300%.

C. Reducing emissions related to food waste can solve hunger problems.

D. An maximum of 14% of emissions from agriculture is avoidable without fail.

63. What does the underlined word “hiking” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?

A. pushing

B. raising

C. adding

D. moving

64. What can we infer from the passage?

A. 30%—40% of food produced across the world goes bad and is unfit to eat.

B. It will beat one’s brains out to cut food loss and waste to avoid climate change.

C. Food loss and waste were the first largest greenhouse gas emitters in the world.

D. Cutting food waste by half by 2030 is consistent with the new global development goals.

D

What does home really mean? Is it the people around you who make a place familiar and loved, or is it the tie to land that’s been in your family for generations? Anna Quindlen’s new novel investigates both, seen through t he eyes of Mimi Miller, who narrates the story of her life — and of the strike to the people and to the land she loves — from her 1960s girlhood to the present day.

The book begins with the summer Mimi is 11 and everything around her is about to change in Miller’s Valley. She lives with her parents, her older brothers — rakish Tommy and practical Eddie — and her Aunt Ruth, her mother’s sister, who keeps a terrible secret, and who never leaves the confines of her small house behind Mimi’s. The farm has been in their family for almost 200 years, and Mimi can’t imagine life beyond it.

The land has always been wet, it seems to Mimi. There’s always a sump pump(抽污泵) running in Mimi’s house, and when it storms, mud comes right up to the front porch. But then, the government steps in, deciding to flood “6,400 acres of old family farms and small ramshackle(摇摇欲坠的) homes and turn it into a reservoir by using the dam t o divert the river,” transforming corn fields into strip malls, drowning the valley under water, along with a way of life that has been perpetuating itself for generations. They’ll buy up homes and resettle everyone, insisting that new is so much better th an old. At first the town stubbornly resists, except for Mimi’s mother, who announces, “Let the water cover the whole damn place.”

But Mimi is desperate to stay. She has no idea what else there is to want, or where else she could possibly live or who else she could possibly be other than a girl on a farm with her family. Her father, too, is tied to the land he

loves, and Ruth balks at even stepping outside her house. But as the river is allowed in, dampening the ground, loosening ties, it seems to drown people little by little, forcing secrets to float up to the surface and change things in ways you might never expect.

Quindlen makes her characters so richly alive, so believable, that it’s impossible not to feel every doubt and dream they harbor, or share e very tragedy that befalls them. Mimi’s mother is mysteriously bitter toward Ruth, and closemouthed about why. Eddie grows into an efficient man, more like a “friendly visitor” than a brother, who sees and seizes opportunity, becoming an engineer and building new homes for the displaced, as if the future were like a bright, shiny penny. Tommy, the sibling Mimi adores, gets by working odd jobs, car repair, and later selling drugs and going off to war and prison, a man who just tragically never found his place.

But what’s Mimi’s place? “I knew there was a world outside,” she says. “I just had a hard time imagining it.” When she gets highest honors in school, her mother insists, “This is your road to something better than this.” And then to Mimi’s astonishment, she gets a full scholarship to medical school. She doesn’t want to leave, but finally, slowly, she begins to move toward her future, to gather ambition and purpose, and to truly see beyond the confines of her life.

If there is a weak link at all, it’s Donald, a childhood friend of Mimi’s who moves away, but hasn’t made more effort to visit more often. Still, the novel is overwhelmingly moving. We experience how the land changes through the “foggy mist of summer” to “the dry-ice mist of winter.” And the floodwaters channel in, “so that on the evening of the third day the people in town thought Miller’s Valley was having its first earthquake.”

The ending fast-forwards like a tide, carrying all these lives we’ve come to deeply care for into middle age and beyond, as people marry, birth children, move on and, yes, die. Family bonds are restructured, and secrets are revealed that either wedge people apart or bind them together. But Quindlen also allows her characters mystery —and some of what’s unknown stays unkn own, which polishes her story with a kind of haunting grace and truthfulness.

65. Anna Quindlen investigates the meaning of home through the following EXCEPT _______.

A. Mimi Miller and her life experiences

B. the offence to the people in Miller’s Valley

C. the invasion to the land in Miller’s Valley

D. different outlooks on leaving the family farm

66. The underlined word “perpetuating” in Paragraph 3 means _______.

A. existing

B. preserving

C. involving

D. keeping

67. What does the sentence “Ruth balks at even stepping outside her house.” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Ruth is reluctant to depart from her house

B. Mimi’s Aunt is greatly attached to the family farm

C. Mimi’s Aunt has a personality of natural reserve.

68. The characters in Quindlen’s novel are _______.

A. full of ambition and purpose

B. weakly linked interpersonally

C. strikingly lifelike and impressive

D. clearly revealed to the public in the end

69. What might Mimi’s future fortune be like?

A. She is admitted to medical school through a full scholarship.

B. She seizes opportunity to become a female engineer.

C. She eventually finds her place beyond the confines of her life.

D. She steps into the road to something other than highest honors in school.

C. A news report.

D. An Argumentative essay.

Silk Road Heads for the Hills

Famous for facilitating an incredible exchange of culture and goods between the East and the West, the ancient Silk Road is thought to have wandered across long horizontal distances in mountain foothills and the lowlands of the Gobi Desert. But new archaeological evidence hidden in a towering tomb reveals that it also ventured into the high altitudes of Tibet—a previously unknown arm of the trade route.

Discovered in 2005 by monks, the 1,800-year-old tomb sits 4.3 kilometers above sea level in the Ngari district of Tibet. When digging began in 2012, the research team examining the site was surprised to find a large number of typical Chinese goods inside. The haul lends itself to the idea that merchants were traveling from China to Tibet along a branch of the Silk Road that had been lost to history.

“The findings are astonishing,” says Houyuan Lu, an archaeobotanist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Geology and Geophysics in Beijing. Among other artifacts, archaeologists unearthed delicate pieces of silk with woven Chinese characters wang hou (meaning “king” and “princes”), a mask made of pure gold, and ceramic and bronze vessels.

They also were taken aback by what looked like tea buds. The earliest documentation of tea in Tibet dates to the seventh century A.D., but these buds would be 400 to 500 years older. To confirm the identification, Lu and his colleagues analyzed the chemical components of the samples and detected ample amounts of caffeine and theanine（茶氨酸）, a type of amino acid abundant in tea. Moreover, the chemical fingerprints of the tea remainders were similar to those of tea found in the tomb of a Chinese emperor of the Han Dynasty dated to 2,100 years ago, and both could be traced to tea varieties gro wn in Yunnan in southern China. “This strongly suggests that the tea (found in the Tibetan tomb) came from China,” Lu says. The findings were recently published in Scientific Reports.

Such early contacts between Tibet and China “point to a high-altitude component of the Silk Road in Tibet that has been largely neglected,” says Martin Jones, an archaeobotanist at the University of Cambridge. The evidence contributes to the emerging picture that the Silk Road—which the Ottoman Empire closed off in the 15th century—was a highly three-dimensional network that not only crossed vast linear distances but also scaled tall mountains.

Other studies, too, have documented signs of trade along mountain trails in Asia from around 3000 B.C.—routes now known as the Inner As ia Mountain Corridors. “This suggests that mountains are not barriers,” says Rowan Flad, an archaeologist at Harvard University. “They can be effective channels for the exchange of cultures, ideas and technologies.”

One day a boy in rags asked a building contractor（承包商）who was at the construction site of a skyscraper, “ How can I become as rich as you when I grow up?”

With a glance at the boy, the contractor replied, “First I would like to tell you a story about three

brick layers(瓦工) . The first brick layer liked holding a spade instead of working hard. He said that he wanted to be a boss in the future. The second one always liked complaining about the long hours of work and his low salary. The third one kept laying quietly without making any claims. Several years later, the fist layer was still holding his spade in the original place and the second gave the excuse of work injury for early retirement. Only the last one became the boss of the building company.”

The contractor continued, “You know, that is also how I got to where I am now. I once worked harder than the others. Soon my day came, and my boss noticed me and promoted me to his assistant. After I earned enough money, I also became a boss eventually.”

He concluded, “If you want to stand out among people and be successful, there is no easy way for you to do it but work hard. ”

One possible version:（范文为浅显的表达形式，满足大部分学生需求）

A boy asked a building contractor how he could become successful when he grew up. The contractor taught him that there’s no easy way to success but to work hard by telling him a story.

Everyone wants to be successful, but not everyone can achieve it. Having read the article, I realize that if we want to achieve success, we have to make a lot of effort.

In reality, there are many people who are always seekin g for the easiest way to success. They don’t bother to do small things, complain all day, and they escape from the difficulties, all of which prevent them from achieving success.

Many people would argue that good methods and the desire to take action immediately are more important than hard work. To be fair, all three of these elements are equally important. Hard work, therefore, is not the only part, but it is a necessary part, on the way to success. (161)

Badlands National Park is a national park in southwestern South Dakota. Visitors can hike and camp among mountains, rivers, and grasslands. Ancient rhinos, horses, and big cats once lived here. Nowadays, the park is mainly home to sheep and many small animals that live underground. (17) Badlands National Park has no formal reservation system, so visitors can stay as long as they like. However, this does not mean that there aren’t rules. You must register at one of the five different areas and speak to a staff member directly before setting out on an overnight trip.(18) Maps are strongly recommended and are available for purchase in the Badlands bookstore. Campfires are not allowed under any conditions; you must use a special kind of stove.(19) Pets are not allowed, either.Your location must be at least half a mile from a road. All garbage, including toilet paper, must be carried out, and all human waste must be buried in a small hole 6 inches deep and a minimum of 200 feet from any water source. (20) Finally, you should always check the weather forecast, as thunderstorms are common in summer. September and early October are the best backpacking months.

If you manage to finish it, you can reward yourself. Otherwise, punish yourself. What’s more, you can find a person to remind you to finish your work efficiently from time to time. Different people have different efficient times. But it doesn’t matter what time it is. Just don’t waste time, following the schedule strictly. Last but not the least, do it now, just from now.
