3．George Orwell was the pen name for Eric Arthur Blair，who was born in 1903in India and died in 1950．Orwell was one of the popular writers back at that time and was very popular for writing news，fiction，literary criticism and poetry．
When Blair turned 5he was sent to a convent （女修道院） school as a day boy in Henley-on-Thames．The reason for this was that his mother wanted him to have the best education，although his family was not wealthy enough to pay for it．His mother asked her brother to see whether he could find a proper school where Eric Blair could be accepted．After some time they sent him to St Cyprian's School in Eastbourne，Sussex，England．At the school the headmaster decided to accept Blair and help him win a scholarship and help his parents by making an agreement in secret for them to pay only half of the normal school fees．After being sent to this school，Blair hated it．He managed to write articles well enough to be published in school magazines，win prizes，and then earn more scholarships into other expensive colleges．

Although he was an experienced writer，his lifestyle was not healthy．Blair's lifestyle consisted of heavy smoking．He also continuously placed himself in situations where it was constantly cold and damp．It was said that he had a love for strong tea and also was known for wearing casual clothing most of the time．As the years went on，he soon became sick and died in 1950．To this day some of his works are still read by many people．

13．The National Gallery of Art in Washington，D．C．，is one of the world's greatest art museums．Millions of people have entered its doors to see paintings by the world's fine artists．But if these priceless masterpieces are to be preserved，the Gallery must protect them carefully．The Gallery's 135-man guard force has successfully prevented theft，but protecting the paintings from nature is a greater problem．
In past times，the owners of paintings did not protect them from damaging changes in humidity and temperature．As a result，the life of these paintings was shortened．In the National Gallery，however，humidity and temperature are carefully controlled．The building is air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter．The air-conditioning and heating systems are so important to the life of the paintings that the Gallery has two of each system．If one should fail，the extra one can take over．
Light is another enemy of paintings．Ultraviolet rays （紫外線） in light cause paintings to fade （褪色）．Long ago，paintings often hung in dark churches and palaces．A coat of varnish （清漆） was a protection from the weak light．But when museums took over the care of many paintings，they were often hung in brighter light than before．Soon they were in danger of fading．The damaging effects of light were increased when the museums removed the varnish coating，yellowed with age．
To protect its paintings，the National Gallery installed （安裝） a special kind of glass in its skylights．This glass allows visible lights to enter the building but it keeps out harmful ultraviolet rays．The Gallery has also developed new and better varnishes which help to keep paintings from fading．Thanks to these new precautions （預防措施），many of the world's greatest paintings are being well protected for future generations to enjoy．
32．The text mainly tells us aboutD．
A．the guard force in the National Gallery
B．the air-conditioning and heating systems in the National Gallery
C．priceless paintings of past times
D．protecting great paintings from nature
33．What does harm to paintings according to the text？A

A．They had built glass boxes for the paintings．
B．They had taken over the care of the paintings．
C．They found the coatings yellowed with age．
D．They would add other coating materials to the paintings．
35．We can infer from the text thatB．
A．the National Gallery has done little to protect the paintings
B．the care of the world's greatest paintings is both a big responsibility and a great challenge
C．you can touch these paintings while you are in the National Gallery

12．In 1985，a lionfish was caught off the coast of Florida．Now they can be found not only in the Atlantic Ocean but also in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea．And they are continuing to move south．Lionfish are native to the Indian and western Pacific Oceans．So how did they end up in the Atlantic？Scientists believe some pet owners abandoned their unwanted lionfish and poured them into the sea．Little did they know the trouble their actions would cause．
The Atlantic Ocean turned out to be a comfortable home for lionfish．Their venomous spines （毒刺） protect them from sharks and other fish．Female lionfish can spawn （產(chǎn)卵） every few days，producing as many as 2million eggs per year．Other big fish would have competed with lionfish for food．Bet overfishing has removed many of these large fish．As a result，the fish have eaten so much that they have grown to be more then three times the size of their cousins in the Pacific and Indian Oceans．"They eat mostly fish，"says Stephanie Green，a scientist at Oregon State University．
All that eating has caused great changes．Scientists have found that when lionfish are present somewhere，many other fish，which are small enough for them to eat，disappear．Some of the fish they eat are greatly missed in their habitats．For example，parrotfish eat certain plants off corals（珊瑚），which allows corals to grow better．But they are now disappearing due to lionfish．
Scientists say lionfish are here to stay．But there are ways to deal with the problem．The key，says Green，is to keep lionfish numbers in check．In Florida，drivers can now go though a special training program and get certified（授予合格證書） to catch lionfish in areas where fishing is not usually allowed．And a number of restaurants have added the fish to the menu．"It's going to be a long-term battle，but the missing sea species will come back someday，"says Green．
33．What can we learn about lionfish？A
A．Its population is growing very quickly．
B．All of them are almost the same size．
C．They eat other big fish and even sharks
D．Most of them have gathered in the Atlantic．
34．Parrotfish were mentioned to show lionfish'sD．
A．loneliness
B．carelessness
C．weakness
D．harmfulness
35．What is Stephanie Green's attitude to the battle against lionfish？B
A．She doubts it．
B．She is hopeful of it．
C．She is worried about it．
D．She thinks it is against the law．
