　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Grandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965. Although his passing was very difficult for her, I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken forgranted, and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. One day, when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma.

　　I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. She had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpa's quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. Dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning. Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor.

　　Having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest. When I was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn. My attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point, but to make her happy, my mother and I attended the match. As if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered. I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance, and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance.

　　26. What did grandma learn from grandpa's death?

　　A. Good health was not there for everyone.

　　B. She should take dance lessons.

　　C. She had to struggle to live a better life.

　　D. She should wear beautiful dresses.

　　28. Normal grandmas usually ________ in the author's point of view?

　　A. took dance lessons

　　B. did some exercises at home

　　C. took care of grandchildren at home

　　D. did some housework at home

　　【答案】【解析】she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did.在作者眼中祖母就是能在家做做家务，故选D。

　　29. The author felt ______ when he was invited to watch grandma's match.

　　A. happy

　　B. proud

　　C. excited

　　D. uninterested

　　阅读下面五篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and

　　now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and

　　potentially harming sea life.

　　Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific

　　Ocean for almost two decades. "We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we

　　try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things

　　that we measure is COx levels. And We've been able to record this increasing quantity of

　　atmospheric CO, into the ocean. "Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and一

　　more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of

　　the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.

　　"As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid,

　　carbonic acid," Dore explains. "And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes

　　up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more

　　acidic."

　　The seawater samples Dow and his colleagues have analyzed confirm what the theory predicts.

　　The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and

　　his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up

　　CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.

　　"It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have

　　negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It’s potentially catastrophic."

　　35. What can be the best title of the passage?

　　A. Sea Life Facing Danger

　　B. Scientist Researching Seawater

　　C. Oceans Becoming More Acidic D. Climate Change Affecting Seawater

　　36. With the increase of atmospheric C02，＿．

　　A. more corals will appear in the sea

　　B. the surface water is becoming warmer

　　C. the chemical balance of the seawater is affected

　　D. the pH of the ocean out here has been increasing

　　37. Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric C02 on sea life?

　　a. Sea life is endangered. b. C02 goes into the surface water.

　　c. The ocean chemistry is affected. d. C02 levels in the atmosphere go up

　　e. C02 decreases the pH and makes the seawater more acidic.

　　A. abcde

　　B. dbcea

　　C. aebed

　　D. edcba

　　38. Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based on＿．

　　A. his research and analysis B. the expectation of other scientists

　　C. some former theory D. a major cause of climate change

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.

　　When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle:

　　"No pain, no gain". He hardly watered his new trees, an attitude which flew in the face of conventional wisdom.

　　Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive.

　　He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.

　　So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.

　　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 plant some 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.

　　I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb's trees in ways comfort and ease never could.

　　Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to encounter hardship. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be torn apart.

　　31. With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often______.

　　A. paid little attention to them

　　B. talked to them to get their attention

　　C. kept watering them every morning

　　D. beat them to make them grow deep roots

　　【答案】

　　【解析】He hardly watered his new trees,他没有给树浇过水，也就是他没有关注过它们。故选A。

　　32. What does the author think of the way Doctor Gibbs planted trees?

　　A. Original and reasonable.

　　B. Strange and harmful.

　　C. Interesting and funny.

　　D. Cruel and unacceptable.

　　【答案】【解析】I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.因为Doctor Gibbs种的树长的又高又粗壮，所以可推测作者认为他的做法是新颖和合理的，故选A。

　　33. What does the underlined word "Adversity" mean in the seventh paragraph?

　　A. Bad weather.

　　B. Lack of moisture.

　　C. Enough care or attention.

　　D. Difficult living conditions.

　　【答案】【解析】if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.可知比较难的条件，故选D。

　　34. Which prayer does the author wish for his sons?

　　A. Have an easy life, without too much to worry about.

　　B. Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.

　　C. Have good luck, encountering less hardship in their life.

　　D. Be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives.

　　【答案】【解析】I know my children are going to encounter hardship.祈祷儿子在人生中能够经历风雨，故选D。

　　35. Which of the following is the best title for the article?

　　A. Deep roots count

　　B. Prayers for my sons

　　C. Doctor Gibbs and his trees

　　D. Trees need no water

　　【答案】【解析】What we need to do is to pray for deep roots及deep roots在文章中多次出现，用它来表明数要扎深根人们要经历风雨才能更坚强，故选A。
