He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very 36 . When Doctor Gibbs wasn’t 37 lives, he was planting trees. His house was 38 on ten acres of land, and his life’s 39 was to turn this land into a forest. The good doctor had some 40 theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle: “No pain, no gain”. He never watered his new trees, a(n) 41 which is contrary to 42 wisdom.Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants 43 them because it made them grow weaker. He said you have to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest 44 . He talked about how watering trees made them develop 45 roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots 46 moisture(水分). So Doctor Gibbs would plant an oak(橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he’d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s 47 .Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him 48 some 25 years ago. They were tall and 49 .I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago.

Do it all by yourselves. Think you boys can handle it?”Dan and John seemed to grow six inches in their chairs at the thought of such an amazing responsibility. “We can handle it,” Dan promised. “We won’t let you down.”A few days before Christmas, Dan and John rushed in after school. They gathered the tools they’d need and brought them out to the yard, where the tree waited. I was cooking when I heard the happy sounds as the boys carried the tree into the living room. Then I heard the sound that every mother knows is trouble: dead silence. I hurried out to them. The tree was cut too short. John crossed his arms tight across his chest. His eyes filled with angry tears.I felt worried. The tree was central to our holiday. I didn’t want the boys to feel ashamed every time they looked at it. I couldn’t lower the ceiling, and I couldn’t raise the floor either. There was no way to undo the damage done. Suddenly, a thought came to my mind, which turned the problem into the solution.“We can’t make the tree taller,” I said. “But we can put it on a higher position.”Dan nodded his head sideways. “We could put it on the coffee table. It just might work! Let’s try it!”When Bob got home and looked at the big tree on top of the coffee table, Dan and John held their breath.“What a good idea!” he declared. “Why didn’t I ever think of such a thing?”John broke into a grin. Dan’s chest swelled with pride.56. The underlined part “grow six inches” (Para. 4) implies the brothers felt .A. proud B. nervous C. worried D. scared57. Who trimmed the Christmas trees this year?A. the writer B. the brothers C. Dan himself D. the writer’s husband58. How could the short tree be turned into a perfect one? A. By making the tree taller. B. By lowering the ceiling. C. By placing it on a coffee table. D. By raising the floor.59. What the writer’s husband said in the end showed .A. he expected too much of the brothers. B. he should not have given the brothers the task to trim the ChristmasC. he was too stupid to think of such an idea.D. he really appreciated what the brothers had done.BThe world’s native languages are dying out at an unprecedented(空前的) rate, taking with them irreplaceable(不能替代的) knowledge about the natural world, according to a new study.The study identified five global “hot spots” where languages are vanishing faster than anywhere else ---- eastern Siberia, northern Australia, central South America, the US state of Oklahoma and the US Pacific Northwest. “Languages are suffering a global extinction crisis that greatly goes beyond the pace of species extinction,” linguistics(语言学的) professor David Harrison noted, who said half of the world’s 7,000 languages were expected to disappear before the end of the century. Native people had an intimate(详尽的) knowledge of their environment that was lost when their language disappeared, along with other certain things often unfamiliar to us, Harrison stressed. “Most of what we know about species and ecosystems is not written down anywhere, it’s only in people’s heads,” he said. “We are seeing in front of our eyes the loss of the human knowledge base.”Harrison was one of a team of linguists who carried out the study. The researchers traveled to Australia this year to study native languages, some of the most endangered. According to Harrison, in Australia, they were heartened to see a woman in her 80s who was one of the only three remaining speakers of the Yawuru language passing on her knowledge to schoolchildren. He said such inter-generational exchanges were the only way native languages could survive. “The children had elected to take this course, no one forced them,” he said. “When we asked them why they were learning it, they said, ‘This is a dying language, we need to learn it’.” Also, while there they found a man with knowledge of the Amurdag language, which had previously been thought extinct. The researchers said all five of the hot spots identified were areas that had been successfully colonized and where a dominant language such as Spanish or English was threatening native tongues.60. What does this text mainly talk about?A. A study on native languages endangered. B. The knowledge of native languages.C. People’s efforts in saving native languages. D. Harrison and his study on languages.61. The underlined word “vanishing” in the second paragraph can be best replaced by .A. developing B. changing C. increasing D. disappearing62. According to Harrison, language extinction .A. causes the researchers lots of worriesB. speeds up the pace of species extinctionC. brings about a loss of knowledge about the environment D. threatens the existing of Spanish and EnglishCGuilin City Daily Bus TourDeparture Date: DailyTour Time: Around 8:00 a.m.—Around 5:30 p.m.Pick-up & Drop-off Service: Your hotel in the downtown Vehicle Model: Air-conditioned tour coach Type of Tour: Bus Day ToursTour Highlights: Reed Flute Cave, The Elephant Trunk Hill, The Fubo Hill, The Seven Star Park Itinerary(路线): 1.

But after the horrible disaster, people living by the coast received another shock – they saw a new island, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, in the sea just over a kilometer from the shore, reported BBC News.“I stepped out and was flabbergasted,” local journalist Bahram Baloch told the BBC. “I could see this gray, dome-shaped body in the distance, like a giant whale swimming near the surface. Hundreds of people gathered to watch it in disbelief.”This island has become a global curiosity. How was it formed in just a few minutes?As you might already know, many islands in the sea are formed by volcanoes. There are numerous volcanoes under the sea. As the hot lava (岩浆) erupts and cools down, it piles up and forms the shape of a mountain. When the mountain “grows” to higher than the sea level, the part that’s above the water is what we call an “island”.This is how the island was formed after the Pakistan earthquake, except that instead of an ordinary volcano, it was a “mud volcano” that brought about this island.Lava is not the only thing that’s locked under the Earth’s crust(地壳) – there is also gas. When an earthquake happens and breaks part of the crust, the gas is released at an extremely high speed, pushing mud up to the surface, according to National Geographic.But only earthquakes that are extremely powerful can cause mud volcanoes to push up enough mud to produce islands – and this 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Pakistan was strong enough. The island is about 20 meters high, up to about 90 meters wide and 30 meters long, nearly the size of a soccer field.In fact, mud volcano islands aren’t new. This is the fourth island of this kind in the region since 1945. But those islands usually didn’t last long.“It will probably be gone within a couple of months,” said Bill Barnhart, a researcher with the US Geological Survey. After all, “it’s just a big pile of mud that was on the seafloor that got pushed up”. 67. What is the article mainly about?A. the effects of the earthquake on Sept.24B. the differences between mud volcanoes and ordinary volcanoesC. the reasons for the formation of the new islandD. the suggestions about preventing an earthquake68. The underlined word “flabbergasted” (in Para.2) is closest in meaning to “______”.A. surprised B. anxious C. worried D. delighted69. We can infer from the article that ______.A. the new island formed within a few monthsB. scientists know little about volcanoesC. another earthquake is likely to happen in Pakistan D. not all earthquakes produce new islands70. According to the passage, mud volcano islands .A. are quite difficult to locateB. usually won’t exist a long timeC. are formed only by hot lava from volcanoesD. used to be part of the Earth’s crustE A white shark shipped from New York and placed into an outdoor pool for a Kmart commercial in Los Angeles died after showing signs of distress, an official from the animal welfare group that monitored the production said on Thursday.The American Humane Association (AHA), which certifies film and TV productions with animals, says everything possible was done to ensure the 1.5 meter shark's safety.The shark's death follows lots of criticism of the use of animals in Hollywood productions. The animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which said it received details on the shark's death from two whistleblowers(揭发者), criticized the AHA in a letter over the shark's death."Sharks are sensitive animals who, in captivity(囚禁), require a highly specialized and controlled environment," the PETA letter read. "Given the delicate nature of this species, why would the AHA approve the transport and use of this animal?"The shark was placed into a 227- liter outdoor tank in the Van Nuys suburb of Los Angeles, said Karen Rosa, a senior adviser of the AHA. She added that was a good amount of water for it. "We honestly don't know why the animal died. It was not being mistreated. It was not being harmed," Rosa said.Early in the day, the shark seemed to be in good condition, but at one point they noticed it showed signs of distress. "As far as I know, it was immediately insisted upon that the animal receive specialized aquatic veterinarian(兽医) care," she said.Oxygen was pumped into the tank and the shark was given a shot to try to stabilize it before it was transferred to an aquatic compound for care, where it died the same day, Rosa said.The shoot was for a Kmart commercial, but a representative for the retailer could not disclose any details."We take this matter seriously and safety is always our first concern," the spokesman for Kmart said in a statement.71. The shark was shipped to Los Angeles for____________.A. a study by the AHA B. a business activity.C. a film about animals D. a project by an animal welfare group72. From the passage, we can learn that PETA____________. A. monitor films and TV productions that have animalsB. sent a representative to the scene of the shoot C. believed the shark received specialized careD. didn’t think the shark was transferred very well73. What does Karen Rosa think of AHA? A. It had done all that it needed to do. B. It was against the rights of the animals.C. It had found out the reason why the shark died. D. It should be responsible for the shoot.74. What can we infer from the passage? A. The shark died due to a lack of water. B. Kmart was first to notice that the shark was showing signs of distress. C. Kmart claimed to ensure the animals’ safety but didn’t do it very well. D. The shark was given a highly specialized environment in captivity.75. What is the best title for the passage? A. Sharks Should be Forbidden for Commercial B. PETA Tries to Stop Shooting With Animals C. Sharks Are Sensitive Animals in Captivity D. Shark Brought to Los Angeles for Commercial Dies
