There is a lot to learn about the creations of Beatrix Potter — not only is she the author and illustrator of one of the world’s most famous children’s books, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, but also a pioneering conservationist with the spirit of a scientist.
“Potter grew up as the daughter of a wealthy Victorian family, but along with her brother filled an entire floor of their large house inLondonwith all sorts of animals.” said Anne Lundin, a retired professor for the UW-Madison School of Library Studies.
“As an adult, she was a frustrated botanical illustrator and scientist. That field was not open to her because she was female.” Lundin said. Potter was urged to turn the charming illustrations and stories she wrote in letters to children into books. She wrote 23 books in all— a body of work that has inspired plays, ballets, films and an astonishing amount of merchandise.
“Peter Rabbit is probably the most famous children’s book in the world, which was published 113 years ago and has really stood the test of time. It’s been translated into 36 languages. The parents and grandparents will share it with the next generation. ”said Lundin.
Potter also made a mark on the world through her land conservation. “In many ways, she was like Peter Rabbit, venturing into a world of adventure and risk. She withdrew fromLondonas soon as she started making some money on her books to theLake Districtand became an extremely important farmer and conservationist. She preserved and passed on 15 farms and over 4,000 acres, which was given back to the country as gifts in the 20th century.” said Lundin.
Even though she was born 150 years ago, she was amazingly modern—her embracing of the natural world, commented Jennifer Blatchley Smith, an artistic director of the show Peter Rabbit Tales to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Potter’s birth.
25. What helped Beatrix Potter to write The Tale of Peter Rabbit successfully?
A. Her life and work experiences.
B. Her specialty in animated（动画）pictures.
C. Her success in becoming a botanical scientist.
D. Her interest in animals in childhood alone.
26. What does the word “frustrated” in the third paragraph mean?
A. disappointed. B. devoted. C. motivated. D. inspired.
27. What is Beatrix Portter?
A. A botanist and artist. B. An extremely important farmer and scientist.
C. A writer, conservationist and farmer. D. An artistic director.
28. Why does the author write the article?
A. In celebration of Potter’s 150th birthday. B. In honour of Potter’s new contributions.
C. In praise of Potter’s spirit of selflessness. D. In support of Potter’s book promotions.
C
Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy, warm, damp and thick. But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold, dry climate of the ice ages, but till now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming. Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in theUKeach year. But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change? If it gets drier, will it survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.
Unfortunately, collecting information is incredibly difficult. To study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen（花粉）kept in lake mud. Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments（沉淀物）, which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled（未取样）. So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change.
29. How do scientists study the past climate change?
A. By analyzing fossilized pollen in lake mud.
B. By drilling down deep into land sediments.
C. By predicting the climate change in the future.
D. By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon.
30. Why is it difficult to collect information about the past climate change?
A. Because scientists can’t find proper equipment and machinery.
B. Because helicopters and aeroplanes have no place to land.
C. Because it is very difficult to obtain complete samples.
D. Because none of the cores provide any information.
31. The best title for the text may be ________.
A. Climates of the Amazon B. Secrets of the Rainforest
C. The History of the Rainforest D. Changes of the Rainforest
D
Lying alongside mountains of smelly garbage under the South American sun, Cateura is a long way from the conservatories ofPragueorVienna. Yet the township, which grew out of Paraguay’s largest dump（垃圾场）, is gaining an reputation as a hothouse for musical talent—and for its youth orchestra（管弦乐队）that plays instruments made from garbage. “The world sends us garbage. We send back music,” says Favio Chavez, leader of the “Recycled Orchestra,” during a recent visit by the group toLos Angeles. Orchestra members, poor children from Cateura, play violins fashioned from oven trays and guitars made from dessert dishes. The orchestra provides the youngsters an outlet and an escape, a chance to go beyond the mess of their slum （贫民窟）through the music of Mozart, and even Sinatra. “In the beginning, it was difficult to play,” says the 10-year-old violinist Celeste Fleitas. “But Favio helped me learn over time. From Favio, I have learned to be more responsible and value the things I have.”
The destination for more than 1500 tons of waste each day, the community has no safe drinking water and little access to electricity or sanitation（卫生设施）. Illiteracy is severe, and the children of the township often fall into drugs, violence and crimes.
Favio Chavez, a musical talent, came to Cateura as an environmental technician in 2006 and started a youth music school. He knew shop-bought instruments were beyond the means of villagers whose sheds are worth less than a violin, so he approached a carpenter to make some out of waste from the dump.
The orchestra caught the eye of Paraguayan filmmaker Alejandra Amarilla. She uploaded a short piece of the orchestra to YouTube in 2012, hoping to secure crowdfunding for what would become Landfill Harmonic, a documentary released across theUnited Statesthis month and promoting the youngsters on a tour of the world’s music halls later on.
32. What is the best title of the text?
A. Youngsters carry tunes from garbage to victory
B. A music talent hit the road to the world stage
C. A town for music fans
D. An orchestra on a global tour
33. What do we know about Cateura?
A. It has raised people’s awareness of recycling trash.
B. It has caught more attention through the orchestra.
C. It recycles more than 1,500 tons of rubbish per day.
D. It provides its children with better schooling conditions.
34. Why did Alejandra Amarilla upload a piece of the orchestra to YouTube?
A. To assist the youngsters with a world tour.
B. To collect funding for a documentary.
C. To organize carpenters to make instruments.
D. To catch the eye of theParaguaygovernment.
35. What can we learn from Favio Chavez?
A. To work in a team weighs more. B. To recycle things is to conserve things.
C. To be creative is a quality of a leader. D. To own nothing is no excuse to do nothing.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
While going through life with the pursuit（追求）of money on our mind, we’re often told that money can’t buy happiness. But what truth is there in the saying? Is there a relation between money and happiness? 36
Humans are very sensitive to change. When we get a rise, we really enjoy it. But some studies have shown that inNorth America, additional income beyond 75,000 dollars a year stops impacting day—to—day happiness. 37 They often end up spending all the money, going into debt, and experience ruined social relationships.
So surely money can’t really buy happiness. Well, recent studies suggest that the problem may actually be in the way that we spend money. 38 Studies show that people who spend their money on others feel happier. As for the people who spend money on themselves, their happiness is unchanged.
39 One experiment showed that instead of an organization writing a large check to a charity, dividing the amount up among employees, allowing them to contribute to a charity of their choice, increased their job satisfaction. Similarly, individuals that spend money on each other, as opposed to themselves, not only increase job satisfaction, but improve the team performance.
40 Interestingly, the specific way money is spent on others isn’t important. Spending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness.
A. Instead of buying things for yourself, try giving some of it to other people and see how you feel.
B. Money has more effect on the vast majority of people in the long run.
C. The same principle has been tested on teams and organizations as well.
D. In fact, people who win a lottery often report becoming extremely unhappy.
E. And if so, how can we use it to our advantage?
F. And while you’re saving up for these greatest experiences, don’t forget the daily joys in life.
G. Almost everywhere we look in the world, we see that giving money to others is positively related to happiness.

I attended to a summer school inLondonthis summer. Once we had a debate on “Which is better, a blog or a book?”. We divided into two groups. My group supported blogs. During the heating discussion, I pointed out that blogs were better than books for their convenient and low price. Then other student from the same group added, “A blog also build connections between the writer and the readers, and between the readers whose feelings are similarly by comments and replies. This communication further adds to a good social order.”
It suddenly occurs to me that all the reasons I had given were just based on the benefits of one side—the readers. And my classmate considered the connection between people and society as a whole, that impressed me a lot.

Dear Ms Jenkins,
I would like to express my apology for not being able to teach you to make Chinese knots this Saturday.
The reason is that I have got a cold, and the doctor suggests that I should lie in bed for one week or so. But don’t worry. I’ve asked a friend of mine, Han Meimei, to go there instead. She is good at making Chinese knots. She will go to your apartment at 9:00 this Saturday morning.
Please allow me to say sorry again. I have the confidence that you can learn how to make Chinese knots. Wish you a good time.
Yours,
