5.Saving the Planet with Earth-Friendly Bamboo Products
Jackie Heinricher's love affair with bamboo started in her backyard."As a child,I remember playing among the golden bamboo my dad had planted,and when there was a slight wind,the bamboos sounded really musical."
A fisheries biologist,Heinricher,47,planned to work in the salmon industry in Seattle,where she lived with her husband,Guy Thornburgh,but she found it too competitive.Then her garden gave her the idea for a business:She'd planted 20bamboo forests on their seven-acre farm.
Heinricher started Boo-Shoot Gardens in 1998.She realized early on what is just now beginning to be known to the rest of the world.It can be used to make fishing poles,skateboards,buildings,furniture,floors,and even clothing.An added bonus:Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbon dioxide as a group of hardwood trees and releases 35percent more oxygen.
First she had to find a way to mass-produce the plants-a tough task,since bamboo flowers create seed only once every 50to 100years.And dividing a bamboo plant frequently kills it.
Heinricher appealed to Randy Burr,a tissue culture expert,to help her."People kept telling us we'd never figure it out,"says Heinricher."Others had worked on it for 27years!I believed in what we were doing,though,so I just kept going."
She was right to feel a sense of urgency.Bamboo forests are being rapidly used up,and a United Nations report showed that even though bamboo is highly   renewable,as many as half of the world's species are threatened with dying out.Heinricher knew that bamboo could make a significant impact on carbon emissions (排放) and world economies,but only if huge numbers could be produced.And that's just what she and Burr figured out after nine years of experiments-a way to grow millions of plants.By placing cuttings in test tubes with salts,vitamins,plant hormones,and seaweed gel,they got the plants to grow and then raised them in soil in greenhouses.
Not long after it,Burr's lab hit financial difficulties.Heinricher had no experience running a tissue culture operation,but she wasn't prepared to quit.So she bought the lab.
Today Heinricher heads up a profitable multimillion-dollar company,working on species from all over the world and selling them to wholesalers."If you want to farm bamboo,it's hard to do without the young plants,and that's what we have,"she says proudly.

56.What was the main problem with planting bamboo widely?A
A.They didn't have enough young bamboo.
B.They were short of money and experience.
C.They didn't have a big enough farm to do it.
D.They were not understood by other people.
57.What does Heinricher think of bamboo?C
A.Renewable and acceptable       B.Productive and flexible.
C.Useful and earth-friendly.    D.Strong and profitable.
58.The underlined word"renewable"in Paragraph 6probably means"A".
A.a(chǎn)ble to be replaced naturally                B.a(chǎn)ble to be raised difficultly
C.a(chǎn)ble to be shaped easily                     D.a(chǎn)ble to be recycled conveniently
59.What do you learn from the passage?B
A.Heinricher's love for bamboo led to her experiments in the lab.
B.Heinricher's determination helped her to succeed in her work.
C.Heinricher struggled to prevent bamboo from disappearing.
D.Heinricher finally succeeded in realizing her childhood dream.

分析 Jackie Heinricher開(kāi)始愛(ài)上了她后院的竹子."在小時(shí)候,我記得我在爸爸種植的金竹旁玩耍,當(dāng)有微風(fēng)吹過(guò)時(shí),竹子發(fā)出了令人難以置信的音樂(lè).這就是我的魔幻區(qū)域."
  Heinricher,47歲是通過(guò)培訓(xùn)的漁業(yè)生物學(xué)家,計(jì)劃在西雅圖干鮭魚(yú)工業(yè),在那里她與丈夫蓋伊索恩伯勒生活,但她發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)行業(yè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力太強(qiáng)了.她的花園給了她辦一個(gè)業(yè)務(wù)的想法:她要在她的7英畝的農(nóng)場(chǎng)上種植20棵竹子,并已取得了一些成功繁殖的成果,在那些小花園里(每小時(shí)成長(zhǎng)二英寸,成為了一個(gè)景觀,好像沒(méi)有那么快).
  Heinricher于1998年承包了竹筍花園.她意識(shí)這些只是剛剛開(kāi)始:令人難以置信的是竹子多才多藝,非常環(huán)保.它可以用來(lái)制造捕魚(yú)桿,滑板,建筑,家具,地板,甚至是服裝和床上用品(織物軟絲綢).另外一個(gè)好處:竹子作為一種硬木樹(shù)可吸收四倍二氧化碳,并釋放更多的氧氣,大概超過(guò)百分之三十五.如果Heinricher可以利用她的園藝技能來(lái)推動(dòng)綠色環(huán)保事業(yè),這樣會(huì)更好.
  起初,她不得不找到一種方法,來(lái)大規(guī)模的生產(chǎn),這是一項(xiàng)艱巨的任務(wù),因?yàn)橹褡踊óa(chǎn)生種子每50到100年才一次.所以竹子工廠經(jīng)常沒(méi)有材料可用.
  Heinricher呼吁組織培養(yǎng)專家蘭迪伯爾幫助她."人們不停地說(shuō)我們沒(méi)有成果出來(lái)"Heinricher說(shuō)."很多人工作了27年,我相信我們所做的,所以,我們只要堅(jiān)持,不放棄."
  她是感覺(jué)到有一種緊迫感.竹林正在迅速枯竭,聯(lián)合國(guó)的一份報(bào)告表明,即使是高度可再生竹子,有多達(dá)一半的世界物種瀕臨滅絕.Heinricher知道竹子可以對(duì)二氧化碳排放量和世界經(jīng)濟(jì)有重大的影響,但前提是可以大量生產(chǎn).而這只是她和伯爾經(jīng)過(guò)9年實(shí)驗(yàn)得出的結(jié)論-可以讓植物成千上萬(wàn)的增長(zhǎng).把剪好的竹子放入試管中,與鹽,維生素,植物激素,和海藻膠混合,植物發(fā)芽了,然后拿出來(lái),把他們放在溫室的土壤中.
  在破解了代碼之后,伯爾的實(shí)驗(yàn)室遇到了財(cái)政問(wèn)題.Heinricher在組織培養(yǎng)操作中沒(méi)有任何經(jīng)驗(yàn),但她不準(zhǔn)備辭職.于是,她購(gòu)買(mǎi)了實(shí)驗(yàn)室."這是一場(chǎng)可怕的挑戰(zhàn),"她說(shuō)."我從5個(gè)員工干到了55個(gè)員工[包括伯爾].我不怎么睡覺(jué).一夜之間就像在新兵訓(xùn)練營(yíng)里一樣.有時(shí)候,我奇怪我怎么會(huì)在這里."
  今天Heinricher擁有了一個(gè)盈利數(shù)百萬(wàn)美元的公司,與世界各地有貿(mào)易往來(lái)."如果你想做農(nóng)場(chǎng)竹子業(yè),沒(méi)有植株很難完成,這就是我們所經(jīng)歷的"她說(shuō).

解答 56---59 ACAB
56.答案A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段First she had to find a way to mass-produce the plants-a tough task,since bamboo flowers create seed only once every 50to 100years.And dividing a bamboo plant frequently kills it可知,竹子花產(chǎn)生種子每50到100年才一次,所以她們面臨的最大問(wèn)題是沒(méi)有足夠的竹子.故選A.
57.答案C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段"She realized early on what is just now beginning to be known to the rest of the world.It can be used to make fishing poles,skateboards,buildings,furniture,floors,and even clothing.An added bonus:Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbon dioxide as a group of hardwood trees and releases 35percent more oxygen"可知,Heinricher認(rèn)為竹子多才多藝,非常環(huán)保.故選C.
58.答案A.詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)"though bamboo is highly renewable,as many as half of the world's species are threatened with dying out"可知,前后兩句話之間為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故renewable與dying out意思相反,故選A.renewable可更新的,能再生的.
59.答案B.主旨大意題.根據(jù)全文可知,Heinricher是一個(gè)意志堅(jiān)定的人,不管遇到多大的困難,她的決心都不會(huì)變.故選B 她的決心幫助她獲得成功.

15.It was Sunday yesterday and my son and I walked a couple of miles in the morning.We got hungry so we decided to stop for a meal in a restaurant.While we were waiting in a line,a woman came in.She was very angry and talking about a beggar who had asked her for money.In her opinion,those people had the ability to earn their bread and butter.
I was feeling uncomfortable with the situation and wondering what I should say to my son later.I had told him that we should help those who were in need of help.At that time the lady said,"Today is my birthday,and nobody can bother me."
I knew this was my chance to help her change her thinking and to help her feel cared for on her birthday.I asked the waitress for help,telling her I wanted to pay for the woman's meal.
The waitress looked at me in surprise.I paid for our meal and that of the woman.When the woman finished eating her food,the waitress told her that it was I who had paid for her meal.Then the woman came to our table and tried to force her money on us.She even said,"I can't take your money,because I didn't help the person who asked me for money for food!"
I just smiled and said,"I just hope you have a very nice birthday."
She ended up sitting near us and talked with us.It turned out that she was crazy about animals.Hearing our stories of pet adoptions really cheered her up."You are a nice father,"she said.
She left,seeming to be happier and more thoughtful about all that had happened.I'd say it was worth the price.
21.The author and his son stopped walking that morning becauseC.

16.How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts(偷竊)?Around the holidays,many families don't consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts.With just a few simple steps,you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations.Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home.
●Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers,or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return.Nothing says"Hey,we are not home!"like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.
●Set several different lights in your house on random timers (隨機(jī)定時(shí)器).Don't leave your outdoor lights on all the time.Instead,put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights.If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time,it means that nobody is home to turn it off.
●If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation,leave them with a friend,rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them.When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day,they will know you are not home.
●Close all your curtains when you leave town.This is effective to deter possible thefts,as no one can see what is in your house.If they don't know what there is to take,then the risk is even greater for them to break in.
●This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday.Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home security system.

56.What is the main idea of the passage?A
A.to tell us how to prevent the thefts around the holidays
B.to let the outdoor lights on all the time
C.to tell us many families suffering from the thefts while they are on holiday
D.to tell you to have your neighbor go to your house to take care of your pet.
57.If you are on holiday in other places,the lights in your house shouldA.
A.be lit in an irregular way              B.be kept on all the night
C.be replaced by random timers            D be turned on only once one day

B.have no effect on preventing thefts
C.give a false impression on thefts.
D.be a little hard to be brought into effect.

13.A new power plant in Nakoso,Japan,might someday change everything for coal plants.Since the new power plant fired up in September,the designer,Mistubishi,is expecting to prove it's possible to burn coal without polluting.This technology is known as integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC).Proving IGCC works should give Mitsubishi's US partner,NRG Energy,the jump other hurdles to building new clean plants.
The project promised to solve the problem of the ages for power plants:how to produce cheap,clean,reliable electricity.No existing technology can do all three perfectly.
The problem is IGCC isn't there yet.It costs about 20 percent more than traditional plants.And even though it's easier to collect the resulting carbon dioxide from an IGCC plant than a traditional plant,there's no proven way to get rid of the greenhouse gas.One plan is to drill a shaft(通道) to pump the carbon dioxide underground,into saltwater formations.But there's no guarantee it will remain underground forever.
NRG administrators think solving the IGCC riddles is worth the trouble because they expect the U.S.will soon limit the amount of carbon dioxide that power generators may give out.
"With the additional cost of IGCC,to just voluntarily build something that's 20 percent more expensive,that's commercial suicide,"NRG chief administrator,David Crane said.
NRG administrators expect the cost to decline after six or seven plants are built.But other industry experts think it will take about a dozen plants for the price to be competitive with traditional coal plants.
Takaya Watanabe,a vice general manager of Mitsubishi,admits that the cost challenges are difficult."It's good for a company to say we want to be green,but unless someone is willing to pay,it's a dream.It won't keep our family eating rice,"he said.
64.What is expected of the new technology?A
A.To make electricity without polluting the air.
B.To produce energy without burning coal.
C.To keep the use of electricity cheaper.
D.To pump carbon dioxide more easily.
65.What's the biggest problem the companies are faced with?B
A.How to pump greenhouse gases.
B.How to deal with the high cost.
C.How to get along with other partners.
D.How to improve the new technology.
66.What can be inferred from the passage?D
A.New technologies are unacceptable to people.
B.It's unlikely to build more new power plants.
C.The companies are run on a tight budget.
D.Going green is easier said than done.

10.If you are afraid of the dark,it's not a big deal.It's perfectly normal to feel afraid After all,animals do too."Fear matters,"says Karen Warkentin,an ecologist."It's a good thing,"she adds,"because fear makes you do things that keep you alive."
Like kids,many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in variety of ways.A frightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shell.A small fish will swim away when a big,hungry fish approaches.
Some animals respond to fear in ways you might not expect.The first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs.Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying red-eyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.
In this species,female frogs attach jellylike clumps(果凍一樣的塊狀物)of their eggs to the undersides of leaves.The leaves hang on branches that dangle(懸掛)over ponds.After they hatch from the eggs,the tadpoles(蝌蚪)then fall into the water,where they eventually grow into
adult frogs.
Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching.If they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack,however,they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of schedule.As the snakes are unable to swim,by falling into the water early,the tadpoles can escape.
If hatching early helps protect red-eyed tree frogs from snakes,you might wonder why their eggs don't always hatch sooner.It turns out that hatching early brings its own danger.Once tadpoles land in the water,hungry fish and other animals like to eat them too.Staying in their eggs for a full 6 days,then,allows frog embryos(胚胎)to grow big and strong.This extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water.
 
68.It can be inferred from the passage that fears.D
A.help animals grow bigger and stronger
B.a(chǎn)re less common among young animals
C.help animals move a lot to fit the environment
D.a(chǎn)re more or less important in order for animals to survive
69.We are told in the passage that tree frogsA.
A.face danger both inside their eggs and in the water
B.will grow fast if they fall into the water later
C.a(chǎn)re surprisingly clever when inside their eggs
D.stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened
70.What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph?C
A.Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of schedule.
B.How the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack them.
C.Another example of animals that responds to fear in an unexpected way.
D.How tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falling into the.

17.Shopping is not as simple as you may think!There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand 商標(biāo)of product on the shelf.
Colouring,for example,varies according to what the producers are trying to sell.Health foods are packaged in greens,yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours.Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods,like chocolates,are gold or silver.
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently,researchers found that the colours turned the cusstomers off  because they made the product look weak and ineffective.Eventually,it came on the market in a dark blue and white package-blue because we think of it as safe,and white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper.But quite often a bottle doesn't contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend,on average,70percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it's not enough to have a good product.The founder of Pears soap,who for 25years has used pretty little girls to promote (推銷) their goods,came to the conclusion:"Any fool can make soap,but it takes a genius to sell it."

26.Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?C
A.The cost of its package.
B.The price of the product.
C.The colour of its package.
D.The brand name of the product.
27.The underlined part"the colours turned the customers off"(in Para.3)means that the coloursB.
A.a(chǎn)ttracted the customers strongly
B.caused the customers to lose interest
C.tricked the customers into shopping
D.had weak effects on the customers
28.Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?A
A.The way to promote goods.
B.The discovery of a genius.
C.The team to produce a good product.
D.The brand name used by successful producers.
29.According to the passage,which of the following statement is true?D
A.Making soap is so easy that any fool in the world can make it.
B.Greens,yellows or silver are considered to be healthy colours.
C.25years ago,the founder of Pears soap was a pretty girl herself.
D.The size of a product can have an effect on the shoppers.
30.Which of the following would be the best title for this text?C
A.Choice of Good Products         
B.Disadvantages of Products
C.Effect of Packaging on Shopping

10.Do you have a spare room in your house?Do you like to share your driveway in front of your garage with others?(36)B Many people are benefiting from this new business of renting.
Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb-an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in34,000cities and it has 800,000listings of rooms and apartments.(37)A
A British company is doing something with parking spaces.JustPark's founder,Anthony Eskinazi,says,"when I had the original idea.I spotted a driveway close to a spots stadium.It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in a commercial car park."(38)DAround 20,000people have advertised their spaces on the website,and he says around half a million drivers use it.
(39)EThey are people who run things like traditional hotels and commercial car parks.They are afraid of ending up losing money.
(40)C Regulations for these new businesses are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbour?Because this is a new business world,those rules aren't there yet.
A.They seem to have occupied the majority of the market.
B.Both of these can help you make money.
C.And there is another problem.
D.And his great idea has proved a success.
E.But the new business of renting has its competitors.
