On my granddaughter Mary’ s 21st birthday，I sat with her and her expired (过期的)driver’ s license on a hard wooden bench at the DMV (the Department of Motor Vehicles)，waiting for our number to be called. The broadcast system announced numbers to call ticket holders to reach the desk to take an eye test or renew a registration. I felt as though we were staying at a bingo game，waiting for the winning number to be called so we could jump up and collect the prize. And on that bench，I had a thought:The seemingly ordinary events I’ ve shared with my granddaughter were both my adventures and my rewards for just showing up. I grew up in an immigrant (移民)family in the suburb of Boston. A vacation for us was a bus trip to Central Square，with shopping bags filled with delicious foods like hard boiled eggs，followed by the muddy sand sucking our toes. I looked forward to these small outings. It sounded boring to seek out the simple pleasures，but it was not. I traveled to remote islands，to Europe，and to many of America’ s cities. Those trips were refreshing，but they were breaks. I prefer the mainstream of the ordinary. I like the day trips. But the most wonderful time was when Mary and I stayed in the reading room. We talked about her homework，and played the roles of two thinkers discussing the Enlightenment (启蒙运动). We had our private book club，reading A Prayer for Owen Meany and copying the voice of the main character. All of these ordinary moments are more valuable than the time it will take to travel around the world. Many people love adventures，like skydiving or climbing Mount Everest. But that is not who I am. I don’t need those adventure experiences. In the end，it turns out that just showing up is enough for me. 【1】What was the author doing at the DMV according to Paragraph 1？ A. Being with Mary to renew a license. B. Preparing to take a driving exam. C. Playing a bingo game with Mary. D. Celebrating Mary’ s 21st birthday. 【2】Why does the author mention her childhood？ A. To express her enthusiasm for traveling. B. To show her simple pleasures as a kid. C. To show her identity as an immigrant. D. To make a comparison with her life afterwards. 【3】What can be implied about the author from the text？ A. She was fond of reading by herself. B. She served as the best teacher for Mary. C. She had a good relationship with Mary. D. She was a sociable and caring grandmother. 【4】What is the best title for the text？ A. The unforgettable experience at DMV B. My pleasant childhood memories C. My life with my granddaughter D. Happiness from ordinary events |

 In the movie Jurassic World (2015), a theme park filled with dinosaurs, was brought back from extinction through cloning. Although the film is of course fictional, the methods used in it to bring animals back from the dead may soon become reality. Scientists from Harvard University in the US are currently working on resurrecting the woolly mammoth, a mammal that became extinct around 4,000 years ago. However, it wouldn’t be an exact copy of the hairy beast. “Our aim is to produce a hybrid elephant-mammoth embryo,” Professor George Church, head of the team of scientists, told The Guardian. “Actually, it would be more like an elephant with a number of mammoth traits. We’re not there yet, but it could happen in a couple of years.” The team is hoping to make a “mammophant” — a mix between an elephant and a mammoth. It would be like a regular elephant but have features from the mammoth that would make it more adaptable to cold weather. So why go through all the effort and expense to bring back an animal that died out thousands of years ago? The answer lies in climate change. It’s hoped that the creatures will stop frost in the world’s tundra (冻土带) from melting and releasing huge amounts of harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. “Mammoths used to keep the tundra from thawing (融化) by punching through snow and allowing cold air to come in,” said Church. “In the summer, they knocked down trees and helped the grass grow.” Church and his team are attempting to mix mammoth DNA, recovered from frozen samples of the animal found in Siberia, with that of the Asian elephant, which is its closest relative. “So far, scientists have managed to incorporate traits of the mammoth into elephant DNA. In a few years, they hope to make an embryo, but that’s a long way from creating a viable embryo,” Popular Science magazine wrote. Although we may not be seeing woolly mammoths at the zoo any time in the near future, it’s still exciting to know that there is still the possibility of a real Jurassic Park someday, however tiny that possibility may be. 【1】The underlined word “resurrecting” in Paragraph 3 probably means__________. A.making something adaptable to current condition B.studying a sample of something C.bringing something back to life D.producing a hybrid embryo of something 【2】What would a mammophant look like according to the text? A.It would be a combination of elephant, mammoth and dinosaur. B.It would be an exact copy of the woolly mammoth with long hair. C.It would look like a normal elephant but also share some mammoth traits. D.It would be like a bigger sized elephant with small ears and short hair. 【3】What is the main purpose of producing mammophants according to Church? A.To improve biodiversity. B.To help fight global warming. C.To remove frost in the tundra. D.To help grass grow in the tundra. 【4】What can be concluded from the text? A.The media holds a cautious attitude toward the mammophant program. B.A hybrid elephant-mammoth embryo is likely to be produced within two years C.The method used to produce mammophants was borrowed from the movie Jurassic World D.Scientists still have a long way to fulfill the goals of the mammophant program. |

The American self-image is spread with the golden glow of opportunity. We think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibility, not so much a classless society but as a place where class is changeable. However, we are not who we think we are. The Economic Mobility Project, an ambitious research led by Pew Charitable Trusts, looked at the economic fortunes of a large group of families over time, comparing the income of parents in the late 1960s with the income of their children in the late 1990s and early 2010s. Here is the finding: The "rags to riches" story is much more common in Hollywood than on Main Street. Only 6 percent of children born to parents with family income at the very bottom move to the top. Meanwhile, an incredible 42 percent of children born into that lowest are still stuck at the bottom, having been unable to climb a single rung (梯级) of the income ladder. It is noted that even in Britain -- a nation we think of as burdened with a hidebound(顽固的，死板的) class system--children who are born poor have a better chance of moving up. When the studies were released, most reporters focused on the finding that African-Americans born to middle-class or upper middle-class families are earning slightly less, in inflation-adjusted(扣除通胀后的) dollars, than did their parents. One of the studies indicates, in fact, that most of the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed to(归功于) the entry of white women into the labor force. This is much less true for African-Americans. According to one of the studies, the rich have seen far greater income gains than have the poor. Even more troubling is that our nation of America as the land of opportunity gets little support from the data. Americans move fairly easily up and down the middle rungs(横档) of the ladder, but there is "stickiness at the ends" -- four out of ten children who are born poor will remain poor, and four out of ten who are born rich will stay rich. 【1】What did the Economic Mobility Project find in its research? A.Children from low-income families are unable to move up to the top. B.Hollywood actors and actresses can get rich easily. C.The rags to riches story is more fiction than reality. D.The rags to riches story is only true for a small minority of whites. 【2】According to the passage, the author probably agrees that America should____. A.perfect its self-image as a land of opportunity B.have a lower level of upward mobility than Britain C.enable African-Americans to earn more than whites D.encourage the current generation to work harder than their parents 【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.The US is a land where brains, energy and ambition are what count B.Inequality remains between whites and blacks in financial gains. C.Middle-class families earn slightly less with inflation considered. D.Children in lowest-income families manage to climb a single rung of the ladder. 【4】What might be the best title for this passage? A.Social Upward Mobility. B.Incredible Income Gains. C.Inequality in Wealth. D.America Not Land of Opportunity |

Voluntourism Volunteering to help people in need combined with travelling to faraway places is a new trend in the travel industry. It is called voluntourism. People travel to other countries, learn languages and gain new experiences. 【1】 Recent statistics show that in the past few years voluntourism has been one of the fastest-growing areas of tourism. More than 1.6 million people around the world are volunteers in other countries. They help build schools, assist in hospitals and do farming work in developing countries. 【2】 They keep in touch with their host families after they return home, and many return to visit. There are many reasons why people want to engage in voluntourism. When people choose to join a voluntourism program, they are joining a global network of volunteers who are living and working with diverse cultures on projects that have a positive effect. The volunteers come from all over the world, and they will share the passion for giving back and the desire to broaden horizons. Some students also see it as a gap year after school, while others simply want to take time out from a job and do something else. 【3】 However, many voluntourists do not see volunteering as what it is. They think it is a cheap way of travelling and don’t really want to get involved in hard work. While voluntourism has been around for over a century, modern volunteering started with the Peace Corps, a program that the US government started in the 1960s. From then on, voluntourism has become more and more popular. Many organizations start similar projects. 【4】 And they have hundreds of different types of programs for people to choose from in more than 30 developing countries. The programs run year round and each volunteer chooses when they want to start and the duration they would like to stay for. 【5】 They say that if people really want to help those in need, there are many opportunities in their own community to do this. On the other side, volunteers are often not skilled enough for the tasks that they do. Travel experts point out that in some cases voluntourists are often taken advantage of by the organization that sets up the trips. A. Not everyone sees voluntourism in a positive way. B. Some of them establish lasting bonds with people there. C. And there are those who are bored and merely seek adventure. D. Most voluntourism organizations employ people from similar fields. E. They find it is the best way to get the best of the world. F. By participating in voluntourism, they are contributing to local economy. G. They offer voluntourism trips to suit people’s interest, experience level or age. |

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式（不多于3个单词）。 The Suma Aqualife Park in Japan is no stranger to turtle traffic. Every summer, hundreds of turtles make【1】 (they) way to and 【2】 the nearby ocean. While most manage to cover the short【3】 (distant), a handful 【4】(stick) inside the railway tracks 【5】lie between the ocean and popular park. According to the local officials, as the turtles are trying to cross the tracks, a few fall in. Unable to climb out, they start to walk along the track. The problem arises when a 【6】 (trap) turtle is close to a railroad switch that is in process of shifting to accommodate an incoming train. To save the precious animals, the officials teamed up 【7】 some engineers to create “turtle” tunnels. The tunnels provide a place for the turtles 【8】 (slip) into and protect them. They also help prevent costly train delays that occur every time a turtle gets caught in the switch. Since the tunnels were created in April, railway personnel have scooped up (舀取) ten turtles from the tunnels and 【9】 (safe) delivered them to the park. 【10】 Naoki Kamezaki, the head of the park, puts it, saving the turtles is a “refreshing feeling”. |
