21、Throughout history, environmentalists have had a great influence not only on natural spaces, but also on our lives. Here are four influential ones.
● John Muir (1838—1914)
His lifelong love for hiking began when he hiked to the Gulf of Mexico in 1867. Muir spent much of his adult life wandering and fighting to preserve the wilderness of the West, especially California. His efforts led to the creation of Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Park and so on.
● David Brower (1912—2000)
David Brower was connected with wilderness preservation. He became the Sierra Club’s first executive director in 1952, and then, over the next 17 years, the club membership grew from 2,000 to 77,000. The club achieved many environmental successes under his leadership. After leaving the club he went on to found other environmental groups like Friends of the Earth and Earth Island Institute.
● Rachel Carson (1907—1964)
Born in Pennsylvania, Rachel Carson studied biology at Johns Hopkins University. After working for the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Carson published The Sea Around Us and other books. Her most famous work, Silent Spring, described the harmful environmental influences of pesticides (杀虫剂). After Carson’s observations were proved correct, pesticides like DDT were banned.
● Wangari Maathai (1940—2011)
Wangari Maathai was from Kenya. After studying biology in the US, she returned to her home country to begin a career as an environmental activist. Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement, which, by the early 21st century, had already planted some 30 million trees, providing jobs and firewood for rural communities. In 2004, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

22、Far from the land of Antarctica, a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.
For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.
Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fish’s blood and measured its freezing point.
The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88℃ and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05℃. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.
The scientists’ next research job was clear: Find out what in the fish’s blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.
Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein. Or AFGP.
【1】What is the text mainly about?
A.The terrible conditions in the Antarctic.
B.A special fish living in freezing waters.
C.The ice shelf around Antarctica.
D.Protection of the Antarctic cod.
【2】Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?
A.The seawater has a temperature of -1.88℃.
B.It loves to live in the ice-salt mixture.
C.A special protein keeps it from freezing.
D.Its blood has a temperature lower than -2.05℃.
【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.A type of ice-salt mixture.
B.A newly found protein.
C.Fish blood.
D.Sugar molecule.
【4】What does “glyco-” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean?
A.sugar
B.ice
C.blood
D.molecule
23、British writer John Bunyan was born at Elstow, Bedfordshire, England, in November, 1628. His father was a maker and mender of pots and kettles, and the son followed the same trade. Though he is usually called a tinker, Bunyan had a settled home and place of business. He had little schooling, and he describes his early surroundings as poor and mean. He became much interested in religions, but it was only after a tremendous spiritual conflict, lasting three or four years, that he found peace. His struggles are related with extraordinary vividness and intensity in his “Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.” His writing began with a controversy against the Quakers (教友派), and shows from the first the command of a homely but vigorous style.
Like most working men at the time, Bunyan had a deep hatred for the corrupted, hypocritical rich who accumulated their wealth “by hook and by crook.” As a stout Puritan(清教徒), he had made a conscientious study of the Bible and firmly believed in salvation (拯救) through spiritual struggle.
Bunyan’s style was modeled after that of the English Bible. With his concrete and living language and carefully observed and vividly presented details, he made it possible for the reader of the least education to share the pleasure of reading his novel and to relive the experience of his characters.
Bunyan’s works include Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666), The Life and Death of Mr. Badman (1680), The Holy War (1682) and The Pilgrim’s Progress (1684).
The Pilgrim’s Progress is the most successful religious allegory (寓言) in the English language. Its purpose is to urge people to observe Christian doctrines and seek salvation through constant struggle with their own weaknesses and all kinds of social evils. It is not only about something spiritual but also bears much relevance to the time. Its predominant metaphor — life as a journey — is simple and familiar. The objects that Christian meets are homely and commonplace, and the scenes presented are typical English ones, but throughout the allegory a spiritual significance is added to the commonplace details. Here the strange is combined with the familiar and the trivial joined to the divine, and, a rich imagination and a natural talent for storytelling also contribute to the success of the work which is at once entertaining and morally instructive.
“The Vanity Fair,” is an excerpt from The Pilgrim’s Progress. The story starts with a dream in which the author sees Christian the Pilgrim, with a heavy burden on his back, reading the Bible. When he learns from the book that the city in which he and his family live shall be burnt down in a fire, Christian tries to convince his family and his neighbors of the oncoming disaster and asks them to go with him in search of salvation, but most of them simply ignore him. So he starts off with a friend, Pliable. Pliable turns back after they stumble into a pit, the Slough of Despond. Christian struggles on by himself. Then he is misled by Mr. Wordly Wiseman and is brought back onto the right road by Mr. Evangelist. There he joins Faithful, a neighbor who has set out later but has made better progress. The two go on together through many adventures, including the great struggle with Apollyon, who claims them to be his subjects and refuse to accept their allegiance to God. After many other adventures they come to the Vanity Fair where both are arrested as alien agitators. They are tried and Faithful is condemned to death. Christian, however manages to escape and goes on his way, assisted by a new friend, Hopeful. Tired of the hard journey, they are tempted to take pleasant path and are then captured by Giant Despair. Finally they got away and reach the Celestial City, where they enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.
【1】According to the passage, Bunyan hated the rich people mainly because ______.
A. his father was making and mending pots and kettles
B. Bunyan had poor and mean early surroundings
C. the rich usually got their wealth in dishonest ways
D. Bunyan studied the Bible to save the human souls
【2】What are the main characteristics of Bunyan’s works?
① The languages are concrete and living.
② The stories are carefully and vividly described.
③ The plots are romantic and twisting.
④ The works are easy to understand.
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④
【3】John Bunyan wrote the book The Pilgrim’s Progress in order to ______.
A. advise people to obey religious principles for salvation
B. tell people that life is a simple and familiar journey
C. add spiritual significance to the commonplace details
D. to combine the strange things with the familiar things
【4】What moral does the story of the last paragraph convey to us?
A. Any imaginable things might happen in a pilgrim’s dream.
B. Christian the Pilgrim likes reading the Bible with a burden.
C. People can struggle against weaknesses and evils for salvation.
D. People can enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.
24、 Leonardo da Vinci was one of the great creative minds of the Italian Renaissance(文艺复兴), not only hugely influential as an artist and sculptor but also immensely talented as an engineer, scientist and inventor.
Da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452 near the Tuscan town of Vinci. He was apprenticed(便当学徒) to the sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence and in 1478 became an independent master. In about 1483, he moved to Milan to work for the ruling Sforza family as an engineer, sculptor, painter and architect. From 1495 to 1497 he produced a mural of The Last Supper in the refectory of the Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan.
Da Vinci was in Milan until the city was invaded by the French in 1499 and the Sforza family was forced to flee. He may have visited Venice before returning to Florence. During his time in Florence, he painted several portraits, but the only one that survived was the famous Mona Lisa (1503-1506).
In 1506, Da Vinci returned to Milan, remaining there until 1513. This was followed by three years based in Rome. In 1517, at the invitation of the French king Francis I, Leonardo moved to the Chateau of Cloux, near Amboise in France, where he died on 2 May 1519.
The fame of Da Vinci’s surviving paintings has meant that he has been regarded primarily as an artist, but the thousands of surviving pages of his notebooks show the most brilliant of minds. He wrote and drew on subjects including geology, anatomy (which he studied in order to paint the human form more accurately), flight, gravity and optics, often moving from subject to subject on a single page, and writing in left-handed mirror script. He “invented” the bicycle, airplane, helicopter, and parachute some 500 years ahead of their time.
If all this work had been published in a form easy to understand, Da Vinci’s place as a pioneering scientist would have been beyond dispute. Yet his true genius was not as a scientist or an artist, but as a combination of the two – an ‘artist-engineer.’ His painting was scientific, based on a deep understanding of the workings of the human body and the physics of light and shade. His science was expressed through art, and his drawings and diagrams show what he meant and how he understood the way the world works.
【1】How many years did Da Vinci spend in Milan altogether?
A.2 years. B.23 years.
C.7 years. D.16 years.
【2】Which of the following places may Da Vince not have visited?
A.Florence B.France
C.Venice D.Rome
【3】What does the word “anatomy” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.The scientific study of the structure of human or animal bodies.
B.The scientific study of people, their societies, cultures, etc.
C.The study of ancient societies by examining what remains of their buildings, tools, etc.
D.The scientific study of the stars and planets.
【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Da Vinci passed away at the age of 67 in France.
B.Da Vinci tended to focus on several subjects on one single page in his notebook.
C.Da Vinci had designed the helicopter centuries before it was actually invented.
D.Da Vinci was more of a scientist than an artist because he was a pioneer scientist of his age.

26、请阅读下面短文,并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Li Shuangying said her 18yearold son, who just took this year's college entrance exam, would become a professional in the artificial intelligence (AI) field.
Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer science concerned with making computers behave like humans. The requirement for AI talents is a solid foundation of maths and English, so for senior high graduates, they should have a higher mathematical thinking ability and have a good command of English if they want to become professionals in AI.
Li Shuangying said her son always has been one of the top students in his class at one of the leading high schools in Zhongshan, Guangdong province. Zhongshan, which neighbors Guangzhou, has been one of China's pioneering cities in embracing reform and opening up. It flourished(繁荣) on laborintensive industries, but recent rising labor shortages and costs have become a real threat. In response, local manufacturers(制造商) have been quick to embrace automation(自动化)and adopt AIassisted robots for survival.
The company Li works for, a mediumsized home appliance manufacturer with annual output of about 1 billion yuan($150 million), is no exception. Li said she used to bring her son to her workplace from time to time, and he has developed a strong interest in AI, automation and robots.
“Our family all agree that AI is the trend, and it holds great potential for future development,” Li said. That view is shared by many college students and their parents, who consider AI a desirable major.
