10、icas greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War (from 1860 to 1865). However, his life was never easy. He started numerous businesses that failed, he went bankrupt twice, and was defeated in 26 campaigns for public office. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have fail

11、ed, but whether you are content and satisfied with your failure.” VincentVincent VanVan GoghGogh (1853185318901890) Van Gogh was one of the most famous and influential painters in the history of Western Art. Hes famous for paintings such asThe Starry Night, The potato EatersandSunflowers. However, d

12、uring his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting for a very small amount of money. Despite this, he carried on painting, sometimes even going without food so he could complete his collection of over 800 known works. AlbertAlbert EinsteinEinstein (1879187919551955) Albert Einstein won the Noble Pr

13、ize in Physics in 1921. However, he wasnt always considered a genius. He didnt speak until he was four,and couldnt read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he was slow, so he was expelled from school and couldnt get into the Zurich Polytechnic School.He later famously said, “Success

14、 is failure in progress.” StephenStephen KingKing(1947194720182018) Stephen King was one of the bestselling authors of all time, but his first book,Carrie,was rejected by about 30 publishers.

17、k Borman, James Lovell and William Anders had an adventure out to the moon, becoming the first human beings to near and orbit our closest neighbour in space. On Christmas Eve, they pointed a TV camera out of the window of Apollo 8 and showed a global audience of 1 billion the ancient moon moving slo

18、wly below their spaceship. As that movie played, Anders began reading, “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.” “I didnt choose it， ” he said last October, when all three astronauts met to mark the 50th anniversary of their moon flight, at Chicagos Museum of Science and Industry, wh

19、ere their spaceship is displayed. When the three men returned to earth on December 27, they were surrounded by a sea of joy. That kind of collective joyborn of collective effortcan seem beyond us now. From the factory floor to the three men in the spaceship,an estimated (估计) 400,000 people had a han

20、d in making the moon flight possible. Behind the joy there was also a dark danger Apollo 8 might face. If the astronauts made it into the moon orbit but their engine failed to fire when it was time to return, rescue would be impossible. They would circle the moon forever. But the astronauts did come

21、 home, and in the process they gave the world another gift: the celebrated photograph that came to be known as Earthrise. Even fifty years later, Borman and Lovell continued to play jokes on Anders, 85 then. “Im still trying to figure out who did it， ” said Borman, with a wink (眨 眼睛) “You did it, I

22、think， ” Lovell answered. “William did it， ”Borman admits.“He didnt want me to take it at first， ” Anders said. “I have never said it before publicly， ” said Borman, “but Im just proud that I was able to fly with these two talented guys.

25、 flight.BThe earth.CThe reading.DThe picture. C C For the first time, Chinas South Pole researchers can eat fresh vegetables grown regularly, according to Wang Zheng, the grower, who came home last month after a 400day mission in Antarctica. “Growing vegetables in Antarctica reminded me of The Marti

26、an, a scifi movie about an astronaut who survives alone on the Mars by eating potatoes he grows there， ” Wang said on Friday. “I totally understand the main character of the movie. I understand how he feels when he watches a small green plant grow in a fragile man made environment， ”said the 40yearo

27、ld doctor. But he admitted that the conditions he faced in the Antarctic were much better than those in the film. Wang said the growth chamber (生长室) at the Zhongshan Station, had only a low yield when it was established in 2013. The amount was too small to make it possible for researchers to have ve

28、getable dishes. To increase the yield, he reduced the number of vegetable varieties and focused on only some fastgrowing ones, which makes the output stable. As a result, during much of his stay there, at least one vegetable dish, such as cucumbers, lettuce or cabbage, was served at every meal for a

29、 group of 18 researchers. Wang, an orthopedist, said he knew nothing about botany or farming before he arrived at the station in December, 2014.“I was given this job probably because my office is next to the growth chamber, and as a doctor, I had more spare time than others， ” Wang said. He consider

30、ed many factors, such as light, temperature and humidity. Light music is played in the 16squaremeter greenhouse around the clock. 第 6 页 共 21 页 “Mild music is good for vegetable growth， ”he said.“We also played Buddhist music, which has soft melody.” “Growers before me did very good work. My job was

31、to maintain the chamber and keep everything working.” Before the harvest, researchers had a very limited vegetable supplymostly potatoes and cabbage, which taste awful after months of storage. “Because of our success in growing vegetables, we can have fresh vegetables every day， ” he said. “The Russ

32、ian station is no more than one kilometer away from ours. We even had enough vegetables to invite our Russian colleagues for dinner. ” 28About Wang Zheng, which of the following is TRUE according to the text? ABefore Wang Zheng, researchers in South Pole have no vegetables to eat. BHe stayed in Anta

33、rctica for more than a year before he came back home. CHis idea of growing vegetables in Antarctica comes from an astronaut. DHe was sent to breed vegetables because he is an expert in it. 29What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 probably mean? AWetness.BPersonality.CSoil.DHeat. 30Which of the

34、 following factors is not necessary for vegetable growth? ALight.BTemperature.CHumidity.DMild music. 31What can we know according to the last paragraph? AThe former growers did not do as well as Wang did. BChinese and Russian researchers get on well with each other. CCabbage and potatoes are not sui

35、table for cooking. DThe Russian station is far away from the Chinese station. D D When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders, Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier. But the glacier was gone,

36、melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasnt there anymore. Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a fulltime lecturer at the University of Washington Bot

37、hell, US, an idea for a class. This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies. She used the experiences of Native American tribes(部 落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fixthat “th

38、is is such an intractable problem that theyre going 第 7 页 共 21 页 to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.” Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic(怀疑论者). Then he did his own reading and research, and changed his mind. Dillon wasnt going into environmental workhe was a comp

39、uterscience major. Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a fulltime volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration(恢复) projects. Six months into the work, he decided that Atkinsons class was

40、just what he was looking fora place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate. Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes. “We are already changing the planetso many species ar

41、e going to be lost, displaced or massively impacted， ” she said. “The future isnt going to be what they imagined.” 32Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp? ATo laya basis for Fawn Sharps further research. BTo prove Fawn Sharps work is similar to Atkinsons. CTolead into the issue of loss

42、caused by climate change. DToshow scientists concern about the Mount Anderson glacier. 33Whats the main purpose of Atkinsons class? ATo explore how different people deal with climate change. BTo get students more concerned about the environmental issue. CTo find solutions to the environmental issue

43、of Olympic Mountains. DTo teach students how to conduct research about environment. 34 Which of the following best explains “intractable” underlined in Paragraph Three? ASimple.BDifficult.CCommon.DInteresting. 35How did Atkinsons class influence Dillon? AIt made him work as a parttime volunteer for

44、restoration projects. BIt made him realize a planetwide climate disaster would happen. CIt encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection. DIt discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文， 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多

46、red animals suffer no lack of support. _36_ Surprisingly, some of the most endangered plants are species that, up until recently, were used by humans as necessary food crops. _37_ In order to maximize productivity, farmers have chosen to focus on a handful of high yield crops that can be harvested e

47、fficiently. At one time, the number of plant species used by humans to meet their nutritional requirements numbered above 7, 000. Now, it is around 150. Some experts even claim that humans actually rely on merely twelve species of plants for most of their food. A single food crop generally contains

48、several species, which may be further divided into hundreds of varieties, but these varieties are quickly disappearing. _38_Eighty percent of the corn varieties grown in Mexico in 1930 have disappeared.
