Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours in life than by the
narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep
meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in
nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I
was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement( 限 制 ) and have strong opinions
about everything.
Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the
freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip
to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband
made the decision for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my
everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop
every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. 第 4 页 共 9 页
They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked
out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was
better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.
We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty
section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to
meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to
a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a
detour may uncover the best part of a journey — and the best part of yourself.
24. Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home?
A. It was less tiring B. It would be faster and safer
C. Her kids would feel less confined D. She felt better with other drivers nearby
25. The author stopped regularly on the country roads to _____.
A. relax in the fresh air B. take a deep breath
C. let the kids play with Banner D. take care of the lamb
26. What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?
A. Freeways are where beauty hides.
B. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.
C. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.
D. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.
27. What does the underlined word “detour” mean ?
A. A fast and straight road trip B. A route which is long and not direct
C. A pleasant and meaningful tour D. An unpleasant road trip
C
Nature has its own way of balancing itself out, but when we humans get involved, we tend to
throw things out of control. Forests and oceans are natural carbon sinks that absorb carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere, but since we've been pumping too much into the air, those sinks can't keep up.
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, led by biologist Tobias Erb, have figured out a
way to supercharge plants to make them better at absorbing CO2, which could be a key defense
against climate change.
Erb and his team figured out a way to make plants more efficient at absorbing carbon, so that
they consumed more carbon in a shorter amount of time. "If you think about plants, they are
efficient CO2-fixing filters, but they are not fast," Erb said. "I think there is a chance to improve
existing biology with synthetic(人造的) biology."
Erb's team identified 17 enzymes(酶) from nine different organisms, re-engineering three of
them, that had an enlarged carbon consumption. When those enzymes worked together as a team,
they worked better at not only plants' natural enzymes, but also themselves individually. Existing
enzymes in plants consume about 5 to 10 molecules( 摩 尔 ) of CO2 per second. The team of
enzymes that Erb used consumed 80 molecules per second.
So far, these enzymes have only been tested in test tubes in the lab, but the next step is real
world testing where the enzymes would be introduced into plants to see if the same result occurs. If
those tests show that plants really can be supercharged, we could have a new tool in the fight
against climate change where not only do we protect the amazing carbon-absorbing forests we have, 第 5 页 共 9 页
but we also add these super plants or an artificial leaf technology using the enzymes into other
mixed fields.
28. Why can't forests and oceans balance nature?
A. Because oceans and forests are getting smaller.
B. Because we human beings give off too much CO2.
C. Because a large number of forests are cut down.
D. Because there are too many creatures in the world.
29. Which is the key defense against climate change according to Erb and his team?
A. To increase the plants' ability and efficiency to absorb CO2.
B. To make oceans and forests to absorb more CO2 quickly.
C. To reduce the human's activities giving off too much CO2.
D. To increase the number of plants in the world.
30. What can we get from the last paragraph?
A. The enzymes have proved useful in real world.
B. The technology has worked against climate change.
C. The enzymes have not been used in the lab.
D. The technology may have a bright future.
31. This passage is intended to _______.
A. introduce a possible way to better plants' ability of absorbing CO2
B. call on people to pay more attention to the balance of nature
C. analyze the cause and result of climate change related to plants
D. explore the possibility of using plants to fight against climate change
D
A young woman sits alone in a café sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write
in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing café waiter: “Where are the toilets
please?” This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafés”, where customers are not
allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.
The concept rises from a desire to be alone among young Japanese, a situation brought by
economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social
isolation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos,
where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such
as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even
offers single women the opportunity to have a “one woman wedding” — a full bridal affair,
complete with white dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its
own media expression — “botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do
things completely on their own.
One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90
minutes from her home, to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly
at the entrance of the cafe, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I
like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it's always very busy. There are very few quiet
places in Tokyo, and it's a big busy city. I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own.
I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea of a quiet, calm
atmosphere.”
The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated 3.6 million
“hikikomori” — a more extreme example of social recluses (隐士) who withdraw completely from 第 6 页 共 9 页
society.
32. What is special about the “silent cafes”?
A. It provides various tea and books. B. People are not allowed to communicate.
C. It offers service by writing not by speaking. D. It has attracted many popular young people.
33. Which of the following brings about the idea of being alone in Japan?
A. The stable economic situation. B. The increasing social isolation.
C. The rapid development of the Internet. D. The rising demand for privacy.
34. What do we know about Higashikokubaru?
A. She doesn’t like to be a nurse. B. She doesn’t like the life in big cities.
C. She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place. D. She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A new concept in Japan B. Social recluses in Japan
C. Silent cafes D. Lonely Japanese

Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m Li Hua, a Senior Three student from China. Greatly interested in your winter camp intended for
international students, I’m writing to inquire about the program.
First, would you please tell me the specific time of the program and how long it will last, so that I can
properly schedule my time. Second, what core lectures and social activities does it offer to students? Besides, I
also wonder how much I have to pay for the program and whether accommodations will be provided for the

materials that provide further information regarding the program.
I am looking forward to getting your reply!
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
