The environmental group 350.org has launched a new
campaign called Climate Name Change that proposes to revise to how hurricanes
are named: call them after policymakers who say that humans are not to blame
for global warming.
This will save the Katrinas and Sandys of the world
from the injustice of having their names attached to major disaster, the group
says. And, as a bonus, it will produce some peculiar weather reports.
“Rick Perry leaves trail of death,” appears under a
broadcast titled “Rick Perry: The Tragedy.”
“Michelle Bachman is incredibly dangerous. If you
value your life, please seek shelter from Michelle Bachman,” says an official
while addressing a news conference.
The campaign is unlikely to influence the World
Meteorological Organization, which has since 1954 named Atlantic tropical
storms from an official list.
But the campaign’s goal seems less to actually name a
hurricane after the speaker of the house, and more to call attention to an
issue that this month has reached an alarming level of seriousness. The
campaign comes just a month before the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change will release its most recent report on the state of global warming and a
week after a draft（草稿）of the report was given away to Reuters.
In the draft, scientists concluded with near certainty
– about 95 percent sure – that humans are to blame for the worldwide
temperature hikes over the last few decades. That was a revision from the 2007
report, which put scientific certainty that human activities were driving
global climate change at about 90 percent.
And global warming, the report said, is not slowing
down – it, actually, is accelerating. That means that sea levels could balloon
upward as much as three feet by the end of the century, if emissions(排放量) continue at their current pace.
Still, as the Washington Post Climate notes, hurricanes
are not the best sign of global warming. Though current data suggests that
global warming will in the future stir up terrible super storms, there is still
not enough evidence to support the idea that climate change strengthens the
recent hurricanes that have torn at the US’s eastern coastline.
1.It can be inferred that__________ is one of the
policymakers who believe that humans are not to blame for global warming.
A. Katrina&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B.
Rick Perry&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& C.
Flossie&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D.
Sandy
2.350.org has launched the campaign with the real purpose of _________________.
A. changing the ways of naming hurricanes
B. introducing the methods of naming hurricanes
C. reminding policymakers to change their attitudes
D. calling attention to the coming report on global
warming
3.The draft of the global warming report tells us that _____________.
A. global warming is speeding up at the same rate
B. it is human beings that have caused global warming
C. the new report has a more accurate data than the
one in 2007
D. human beings are not the only one to blame for
global warming
4.The writer of the passage seems to believe that______________.
A. policymakers should be blamed for the global
warming
B. the campaign will cause the change of naming
hurricanes
C. global warming has no necessary relation to
terrible hurricanes
D. global warming will surely cause terrible super
storms in the future

Do people ever consider the possibility that, if
they’re exposed to increased reports about a social problem, it’s the reporting
that has increased rather than the problem? It’s increasingly clear that this
is the case with school bullying（欺凌）：Only news
reports about it have increased, not the behavior itself. In fact, both
bullying and fear of it are down among US middle school students
The rate of students who reported fearing an attack or
harm at school at all has dropped dramatically, from nearly 12% in 1995 to less
than 4% in 2011. For black and Hispanic students, it’s an even more encouraging
shift—from more than 20% of both groups of students worried about being
attacked at school to less than 5% in 2011.
The decline in actual physical violence in schools is
even more dramatic: It was down 74% between 1992 and 2010, according to the
latest US Department of Justice data.
What about cyberbullying? Online harassment
increased from 6% in 2000 to 9% in 2005 to 11% in 2010 between, and it’s
interesting to note that it increased less between 2005 and ’10 than in the
first 5 years tracked. Because social media is very much a reflection of school
social life for young people, the peer aggression seen in social media is a lot
like the peer aggression seen on school bathroom walls. So once it finds its
“dead level,” it will probably decline in the same way verbal and written
aggression have.
Besides education and crime prevention at the social
level, medicine treatment and better access to mental healthcare also
contribute to this downward trend in victimization of self and others.
The rise of social media is what people don’t
typically think of as a positive force in society. But Finkelhor, director of
the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire
says, “These technologies might have prevented crime and bullying by providing
more ways of help, more forms of social supervision, and interesting activities
that destroy forms of alienation(异化) that lead
to crime”.
1.From the first paragraph we learn that __________.
A. school bullying has increased because of increased
reports
B. school bullying has decreased because of increased
reports
C. the number of reports on school bullying has
increased
D. the number of reports on school bullying has
decreased
2.The underlined word is closest in meaning to
&_________&.
A. crime&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B.
aggression&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& C.
surfing&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D.
communication
3.The cyberbullying is still increasing probably
because ________.
A. it isn't as easy to control as the other school
bullying
B. it hasn't been concerned by the governments
C. it isn't part of school social life
D. it hasn't come to its top level
4.Finkelhor believes that social media have a ________
influence on the falling trend of school bullying.
A. positive&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B.
negative&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& C.

A towering South American plant that is believed to
kill animals with its spikes(尖刺) and use their rotting
bodies as fertilizer is about to bloom(开花) in
England. A rare Puya chilensis was planted at a greenhouse in Surrey, a county
in the southeast of England about 15 years ago. However, despite its
frightening description, the tall, spiked plant is considered a threatened
species.
The Royal Horticultural Society has been feeding the
plant a diet of liquid fertilizer. “In its natural habitat in the Andes it uses
its razor sharp spikes to snare and trap sheep and other animals, which
slowly starve to death and rot at the base of the plant, providing it with a
bag of fertilizer,” reads a description on the RHS website, which adds that the
plant gives off a “gruesome scent.”
But does the plant actually trap and eat sheep? Other
sources have simply said it is “believed” that the plant traps small animals
with its spikes. After the animals die of starvation, the plant is
&believed& to then use their rotting bodies as fertilizer to feed
itself.
&I'm really pleased that we've finally persuaded
our Puya chilensis into producing flower,& horticulturalist Cara Smith
said in a press release on the RHS site. Regardless of whether it actually
traps sheep, the plant does have sharp spikes that can grow up to 12 feet high
and 5 feet wide. However, it’s not all death and danger for this plant. Its
flowery blooms reportedly provide nectar(花蜜) for bees
and birds.
The Puya chilensis blooms annually in its native land
of Chile, but this is the first time it has done so after more than a decade of
cultivation efforts from the RHS. &We keep it well fed with liquid
fertilizer as feeding it on its natural diet might prove a bit problematic,”
Smith said. &It's growing in the dry section of our glasshouse with its
deadly spines well out of reach of both children and sheep alike.&
1.From the passage we learn that in England the Puya
chilensis _____.
A.&feeds on man-made liquid fertilizer
B.&often kills sheep and other animals
C.&has once bloomed 15 years before
D.&uses animals' rotting bodies as fertilizer
2.The underlined word “snare” in the second paragraph
probably means“_________”.
A. catch &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B.
stop &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& C.
fight &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D.
kill
3.We can infer from the passage that _____.
A.&it's dangerous to feed the plant
B.&it's certain that the plant kills sheep
C.&it's difficult for the plant to bloom in
England
D.&it's rare for the plant to bloom in South
American
4.What does the writer mainly tell us?
A.&A new plant is discovered in Chile.
B.&How a rare plant is fed in England.
C.&&A rare plant is going to bloom in
England.
D.&How a plant traps animals in South America.
When Marilynne Robinson published her first novel,
Housekeeping, in 1980, she was unknown in the literary world. But an early
review in The New York Times ensured that the book would be noticed. “It’s as
if, in writing it, she broke through the ordinary human condition with all its
dissatisfactions, and achieved a kind of transfiguration（美化）,” wrote Anatole Broyard, with an enthusiasm and
amazement that was shared by many critics and readers. The book became a
classic, and Robinson was recognized as one of the outstanding American writers
of our time. Yet it would be more than twenty years before she wrote another
novel.&
During the period, Robinson devoted herself to writing
nonfiction. Her essays and book reviews appeared in Harper’s and The New York
Times Book Review, and in 1989 she published Mother Country: Britain, the
Welfare State, and Nuclear Pollution, criticizing severely the environmental
and public health dangers caused by the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant
in England—and the political and moral corruption(腐败). In 1998, Robinson published a collection of her
critical and theological writings, The Death of Adam: Essays on Modern Thought,
which featured reassessments of such figures as Charles Darwin, John Calvin,
and Friedrich Nietzsche. Aside from a single short story—“Connie Bronson,”
published in The Paris Review in 1986—it wasn’t until 2004 that she returned to
fiction with the novel Gilead, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award
and the Pulitzer Prize. Her third novel, Home, came out this fall.
Her novels could be described as celebrations of the
human—the characters in them are unforgettable creations. Housekeeping is the
story of Ruth and her sister Lucille, who are cared for by their eccentric（古怪的）Aunt Sylvie after their mother commits suicide.
Robinson writes a lot about how each of the three is changed by their new life
together. Gilead is an even more close exploration of personality: the book
centres on John Ames, a seventy-seven-year-old pastor(牧师) who is writing an account of his life and his family
history to leave to his young son after he dies. Home borrows characters from Gilead
but centers on Ames’s friend Reverend Robert Boughton and his troubled son
Jack. Robinson returned to the same territory as Gilead because, she said,
“after I write a novel or a story, I miss the characters—I feel like losing
some close friends.”
1.Robinson’s second novel came out ____.
A. in 1980&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B.
in 1986 &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& C.
in 1998&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D.

2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Robinson’s achievements in fiction.
B. Robinson’s achievements in nonfiction.
C. Robinson’s influence on the literary world.
D. Robinson’s contributions to the environment.
3.According to Paragraph 3, who is John Ames?
A. He is Robinson’s close friend.
B. He is a character in Gilead.&
C. He is a figure in The Death of Adam.
D. He is a historian writing family stories.

Fannie Cratty wasn’t really my aunt. I only referred
to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh and
gave my mother cause to look angrily at both of us---at me for being disrespectful
of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior.
& &&&&& As a young
woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse owned
by Fannie Cratty. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fannie make the best
blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. Aunt Fannie was well known
for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. Even
though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive
(and she lived to be ninety-six!), she never made the jam without Ms. Cratty in
our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.&
& &&&&& Each August,
when blueberry season would roll around, my mother would prepare me for Aunt
Fannie’s visit. It was vital that I should be on my best behavior. After all,
the woman was old, wealthy, very strict with children. Whenever she was at the
house, I didn’t need to be reminded to guard my thoughts and watch my
tongue.&
&&&&&&&& One
year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process, Aunt Fannie
gave me a quarter(25分硬币) and then made me promise that I would
never spend it. “Hold onto this quarter,” she said, “and someday you will be
rich. I still have my very first quarter, given to me by my grandfather.” It
had obviously worked for her. So, I kept the 1938-quarter into a small box, put
it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.&
&&&&&&&& I now
have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. In people’s eye
Aunt Fannie’s success was due to that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a
common recipe. Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep
them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you
feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time
spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a
fortune that anyone can build.
1.Paragraph 2 implies that my mother&&&&
.
A. used to forget the secret blueberry jam recipe
B. wanted to show off her excellent cooking skills
C. was unable to make the jam without Aunt Fannie’s
direction
D. tried to convince Aunt Fannie that she would keep
the secret
2.According to Paragraph 4, the author believed that
Aunt Fanni was rich because&&&& .
A. she had kept her first quarter
B. she had never wasted money
C. she had worked very hard
D. she had kept her promise
3.The author thinks that we can feel wealthy if we&&&&
.
A. share our wealth with others
B. have good fortune and money
C. know the secret of a jam recipe
D. own lasting love and friendship
4.Which would be the best title for this passage？
A. An old quarter&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B.
Valuable Things
C. Blueberry Jam Recipe&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& 　　D. Memories

I have a friend who had a stammer (口吃) in his childhood, but he dreamed of becoming a
missionary(传教士). When he told his own desire to his
friends and relatives, some of them laughed at him, and some even held down his
enthusiasm &&&&&.
&I must change it.& said the boy angrily, “I
believe I can speak very &&&, I will do!&
When it was possible, he would spend an hour &&&&&to
chickens. He viewed the chickens as living persons, &&&&himself
to be the person in the speech.
&In the beginning, the chickens looked so &&&&&&&,
then they watched me curiously, putting down the food in the mouths and
listening to my words. It seemed as if they had been &&&&&&&by
my powerful and effective language. Sometimes they seemed to be listening to me
&&&&&&. Gradually, the effect of this
practice became more and more &&&and I had a better
understanding of the exact &&&&&of my stammer,

in the old saying: 'Young man should be more knowledgeable, but should not &&&&&much.'

criticized me seriously, which &&&&my shy
personality. I used to worry about being &&at, so I became a
stammerer. From then on, I kept &&&&&in front
of everyone because they didn't want to see my embarrassment. But later I found
myself talking in front of chickens, stammers disappeared &&&&&,
therefore I regained my &&.&
Now, the previous boy is the best at speaking and one
of the most &&&missionaries. You can hardly imagine he
used to have a serious language &&&&. So when you
