21、 The summer I turned 16, my father gave me his car --- a gift wasted on me at that age. The important thing was that Hannah and I could drive around.
Hannah was my best friend, a year younger but much taller, almost five foot ten. “Hannah's a knockout,” my mother always said. And that summer she signed with a modeling agency. She was already doing runway work.
A month after my birthday, Hannah and I went to the movies. On the way home, we stopped at the McDonald’s drive-through, putting the fries on the seat between us to share. “Let’s ride around a while,” I said. It was a clear night, full moon slung low over the desert. Taking a turning too fast, I plowed (撞)through a neighbor’s wall and drove into a full-grown tree.
We were taken in separate ambulances. I’d cracked(使裂开)my cheek bone; Hannah’s forehead had split wide open. End of her modeling career. What would I say to her?
When her mother, Sharon, came into my hospital room, I started to cry. She sat beside me and took my hand. “I rear-ended(追尾) my best friend when I was your age, ”she said, “I totaled her car and mine.”
“I’m so sorry.” I said.
“You’re both alive,” she said, “The rest is window dressing. I forgive you. Hannah will too.”
Sharon’s forgiveness allowed Hannah and me to stay friends throughout high school and college, to be at each other’s weddings … The scars are so faded that no one else would notice, but in the sunlight I can still see it just below her hairline --- for me, a mark of grace(优雅).

22、 A new pastor(牧师) named John reopened a church that had been abandoned in a suburb. He found it broken, and in need of a lot of repair work. His goal was to have everything done in time for his first service on Christmas Eve.
He worked hard. However, when John went to the church on Dec. 21, his heart sank: a large area of plaster (石膏) had fallen off the front wall due to a terrible storm the night before. John headed home, and on the way he stopped at a market selling items for charity.
One of the items was an exquisite( 精致的)handmade tablecloth. It was just the right size to cover up the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church. It started to snow. An old woman had missed her bus, and he invited her to wait in the warm church for the next one. As John put up the tablecloth the woman asked him to check the corner for the initials(手写字母). They were her initials: she had made this tablecloth 35 years before. Then the war broke out, and forced her to part with her husband.
John wanted to give her the tablecloth. but she asked him to keep it for the church. John insisted on driving her home which he thought was the least he could do.
What a wonderful service he had on Christmas Eve! John noticed one old man staring at the tablecloth on the front wall. The man said it was similar to one that his wife had made many years before.

23、 A new study by researchers at Yale and George Washington University is examining the human threats to the amphibian (两栖动物) family tree and calls for a rethinking of conservation priorities (优先) to preserve species diversity and- evolutionary heritage.
Amphibians represent an important sign of global change, scientists say, due to their particularly high sensitivity to disturbances in their environment. There are more than 7000 amphibian species on Earth, including frogs. “Amphibians are a globally endangered group for which threats from global change are outpacing our ability to safeguard species,” said Walter Jetz, lead author of a paper published online in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. Jetz is an associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Yale. Jetz and co-corresponding author R. Alexander Pyron of George Washington constructed the first comprehensive family tree for nearly all amphibious species alive today. The researchers used the data to examine historical diversification patterns of amphibians as well as levels of isolation on the family tree, also called evolutionary distinctness.
Amphibians are the most ancient group of terrestrial vertebrates(陆生脊椎动物) surviving today, with origins reaching back more than 300 million years. The authors found that select members of this group alive today carry more than 100 million years of evolutionary history distinct to only them. The long, separate path of these species may have resulted in the evolution of key functions for varied ecosystems. Thanks to the early origin of the group, such highly distinct species are found in all parts of the world.
With many species still insufficiently (不够地) studied in the wild to appreciate their risk of extinction or potential functions for the ecosystem, the researchers said, knowing their evolutionary distinctness and place on the family tree can provide invaluable insights. A worldwide focus on all species allows us to link threats and evolutionary history across regions in a way that was not possible previously”, Pyron said.
The researchers found that neither the type nor intensity(强度) of human threats to amphibian species was associated with their evolutionary distinctness. This means there is significant potential for conservation action to mitigate the effect human activities have the amphibian tree of life, Jetz said. “Our evaluation provides key baseline information for all amphibians surviving today that may help identification of threats and prioritization of research and conservation,” Jetz added. “We expect this information to be widely helpful for the large community of scientists and conservationists interested in amphibians and to empower national and local conservation efforts.” (The research is supported, in part, by the National Science Foundation.)
【1】What can we learn about amphibians from Paragraph 2?
A.They are threatening the surroundings they live in.
B.They are endangered due to their rapid evolution.
C.They are transforming their roles in the ecosystem.
D.The study of their family tree was neglected.
【2】What role does amphibians’ evolutionary distinctness play in the evolution of ecosystems?
A.Critical B.Minor C.Creative D.Ambiguous.
【3】The underlined word “mitigate “in the last paragraph most probably means .
A.recognize B.add C.lessen D.remove
【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To explain how amphibians adjust to the environment quickly.
B.To inform the public of the significance of protecting amphibians.
C.To gain more financial support for the National Science Foundation.
D.To share his experience in constructing amphibians’ family tree.
24、The apples that hang invitingly from trees in Tom Brown’s orchard(果园)are likely not found in your local supermarkets. They are the 1, 200 varieties that Brown has recovered from six southern states. Most haven’t been sold for a century or more; some were transplanted from the last known trees of their kind. All are finding a new life here in Tom Brown’s orchard.
One such apple is the Junaluska. It came from the Cherokee Indians more than two centuries ago and was named after a 19th-century leader. It was popular in the South before disappearing from commercial(商业化的)production by 1900. Brown came across the Junaluska in 2001. At first, he became curious about its unfamiliar name. Then, Brown found that its shape, color, and taste were like no apple he had ever seen before. With the farmer’s permission, he took a clipping(枝条)from the tree for his orchard and set about reintroducing the apple to the world.
Hearing that other lost apples might still be found in the area, Brown went in search of them. However, one dead end led to another. He had no choice but to reach out to local newspapers for help. The articles he ran led to suggestions from readers, and soon Brown was tasting many more varieties that were once thought lost.
In 1905, there were more than 7, 000 apple varieties in the United States. Then things changed. People moved to cities and grew less of their own food, while large businesses preferred selling ones that were familiar and shipped easily. Brown is anxious to bring back as many of the extinct or nearly extinct varieties as possible.
“These were foods that people had once cared about deeply, and that had been central to their lives, ”Brown says. “It felt wrong to just let them die and be lost forever. Everyone is responsible for protecting agricultural heritage. ”

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The football season was almost over. Sally had been playing football all summer. She really enjoyed running around with the other players in her bright orange uniform, chasing the black and white ball across the grassy field. As much as shewed, though, Sally still had not scored one single goal.
Before each game, they had a practice session. The coach showed Sally and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal. Sally was pretty good at passing the ball, but even during practices, she couldn't kick the ball past the goalkeeper. She wondered if she should quit football and join a different club.
“Don’t give up,” said the coach. But it was half-time, and Sally was feeling frustrated (沮丧). She was trying! Every time she got a chance to kick the ball, it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it. She sipped at her cola and pouted (撅嘴).
The break was over and the referee blew his whistle to start the game again. The two teams walked back onto the field, both determined to win. Sally bent, tied up her shoelace and heard her mother whisper in her ear. “Stay focused. Keep your eyes on the ball. Look for an opportunity to get the ball. You can do it.”
Sally stood up and took a deep breath. Even if she didn't get one goal all summer, she knew that she had tried her best. That was something to be proud of. So she smiled at her mother and headed to her position. The whistle blew, and the game continued.
The score was tied with one goal each. The green team was pretty good, but Sally's orange team was fast. The girls' ponytails bounced as they ran, with many feet kicking frantically (拼命地) at the ball when it came near them. It was a rather boring game and Sally's heart was no longer in it.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
