During the following three years, the fern grew more plentiful. And 4 nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.

| The Homeless World Cup is an international football event, where teams made up entirely of people who are homeless compete. The event has been held annually since 2003. It was at the end of 2001 that Mel Young, a famous expert in the media industry, came up with the idea of the Homeless World Cup. 18 months later the first event took place in Austria. It was such a success that people decided to do more. There are some interesting and special rules of the event. For example, players (male or female at least 16 years old) must have been homeless at some time after the previous year's World Cup or make their main living income by selling newspapers in the street or be asylum (政治避难) seekers. Anyone can take part, regardless of his or her abilities. There are at most 4 players per team to compete in the field. Games are 14 minutes long. In 2007, 48 nations, 500 players took a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent their countries for true spirit and glory in Copenhagen, Denmark. The winner in 2007 was Scotland. The 2008 Homeless World Cup took place in Melbourne, Australia. And in 2009 it was held in Milan. The latest Homeless World Cup was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in September 2010. Paris 2011 Homeless World Cup takes place August followed by the Mexico City 2012 Homeless World Cup. The success of the competition has been in two aspects-to attract the world's attention to the problems of homelessness and also to help participants live a better life. According to a survey by the Homeless World Cup Organization after 2006 Homeless World Cup, 92% of the players had a new motivation for life, 93 players successfully got rid of their dependency on drugs and alcohol, 44% improved their housing situation and 72% continued to play football. |

| Superman had it right if you want to keep something safe, build a mountain fortress (堡垒) above the Arctic Circle. That's the thinking-more or less-behind the Svalbard Global Seed Vault (地窖). Almost every nation keeps collections of native seeds so local crops can be replanted in case of an agricultural disaster. The Global Seed Vault, opened on the far-northern Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, is a backup for the backups. It's badly needed-as many as half the seed banks in developing countries are at risk from natural disasters. The vault can hold up to 4.5 million samples, which will be kept dry at about -18℃. Even if the facility (设施) loses power, the Arctic climate should keep the seeds alive for thousands of years. On an unusual old farm in New York City, workers are also storing away the seeds of the future. In this unlikely place, researchers are putting the seeds from flowering plants and trees in a sleeplike state called suspended animation (假死状态). Many years from now, other workers will wake up the sleeping seeds and plant them where they're most needed. These seeds are like the legendary (传说中的) Rip van Winkle, who fell asleep under a tree and woke up 20 years later. The small farm, called the Greenbelt Native Plant Center, is part of a global effort to save threatened (受到威胁的) plants and trees. The most important step is to collect seeds at exactly the right time-when they are just about ready to fall from the plant. The seeds are being kept in storage at the Greenbelt Center. When planted in the future, these seeds could help restore damaged parklands and forests. |
| 1. Why is the Global Seed Vault located in a far-northern Norwegian island? |
| A. Because it is a place to keep everything safe. B. Because half the seed banks in developing countries are at risk. C. Because the climate there is fit for keeping seeds for a long time. D. Because it is the best place to fight against agricultural disasters. |
| 2. The Greenbelt Native Plant Center in New York City is unusual because _____. |
| A. it is an old farm in a big city B. it is the largest seed company in the world C. it is set up to save the threatened plants and trees D. it stores the seeds of most kinds of plants in New York City |
| 3. To store the seeds well and last as long as possible, the most important thing is to _____. |
| A. collect seeds at the right time B. store them at a constant temperature C. dry them in specially designed rooms D. make it enter a state of suspended animation |
| 4. The passage is mainly about _____. |
| A. Global Seed Vault B. saving seeds for the future C. the challenges of collecting seeds for storage D. the efforts made by Greenbelt Center to save plants |

| When I was eight, I saw a movie about an island that had an erupting volcano and jungles filled with wild animals. The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the Volcano. It was a low budget movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life. But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten. The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I'd owned was sold to pay debts that I didn't even know existed. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce (离婚) in the family. I'd lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right. I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange lava (火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination! The next day, I quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what I'loved. I hadn't painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas (画布) in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1 500. The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim (火山口边缘) of the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. I'm living freely and happily ever after. |
| 1. Why did the writer go to Hawaii? |
| A. To make a living. B. To spend her holiday. C. To free herself from trouble. D. To realize her childhood dream. |
| 2. Which of the following is the writer's dream? |
| A. Get close to wildlife. B. Live a free and happy life. C. Live in nature with animals. D. Become a successful painter. |
| 3. We can infer from the passage that _____. |
| A. the writer had never done painting before B. the writer's parents encouraged her to divorce C. the writer's husband took away most of her money D. the writer wasn't sure whether she could survive in Hawaii at first |

| BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhuanet)-A new hotel concept has been realized in a village in Northern Sweden, which aims to make the simple treehouse become a world-class destination for travellers. The Treehotel, located in a place called Harads, will consist of four rooms when it opens on July 17th.. the Cabin, the Blue Cone, the Nest, and the Mirrorcube. Two additional rooms are scheduled to open in October. The long term vision (想象) is even more expansive. "Our goal in five years is to have 24 rooms from 24 different architects," says Treehotel co-founder Kent Lindvall. The first six rooms were designed by five different architects. The Mirrorcube which stands four meters high and four meters wide, and the walls of which are made with a mirrored glass, has drawn widespread attention as it will be attached to a single tree. "It's an interesting building. You can't find anything else like this in the world today. It's unique (独特的)," says Lindvall. "Everything will reflect in it-the trees, the birds, the clouds and the sun in the forest. So it could hardly be seen in the forest. This is untouched forest and we want to keep it the same way." Lindvall says the Treehotel's vision proves a powerful draw, with enquiries (询问) coming in from far and wide. "I think what's exciting here is that we're just 60 km below the Arctic Circle. It means there's a good possibility to have the northern lights in the winter and of course to have the midnight sun in the summer." The motto of the Treehotel is "Feel Free in a Tree" and expense will cost up to about $ 555.50 for two guests in the Cube, which is designed to hold up to four guests. |
| 1. The underlined word "expansive" probably means _____. |
| A. costing a lot of money B. covering a large area C. requiring knowledge and skills D. increasing suddenly and rapidly |
| 2. According to the passage, the Mirrorcube is a unique building because _____. |
| A. everything can reflect in it B. it's large with plenty of space C. there is a large mirror wall in it D. it has limited effect on local wildlife |
| 3. Which of the following statements is TRUE? |
| A. The Treehotel is ideally situated to enjoy the natural wonders. B. The Treehotel is a great base to explore the many local places of interest. C. Travellers can have a relaxed holiday at a reasonable price in the Treehotel. D. The six rooms of the Treehotel was separately designed by 6 different architects. |
| 4. Where can you most probably see the passage? |
| A. In a newspaper. B. In a magazine. C. In a website. D. In a science journal. |

| When we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a pinnacle (顶点) of sheer (纯粹的) delight. And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get. 1_____ I remember playing police and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play. Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved. For teenagers, or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes. 2_____ I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man. In adulthood the things that bring great joy-birth, love, marriage-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. 3_____ For Mulls, happiness is complex. 4_____ But I think a better definition (定义) of happiness is "the ability to enjoy something". The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health. While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever. Happiness isn't about what happens to us; it's the ability to find a positive for every negative (否定), and view a difficulty as a challenge. 5_____ |
| A. Love may not last; loved ones die. B. For a child, happiness has a magic quality. C. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life. D. Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. E. The dictionary defines "happy" as "lucky" or "fortunate". F. It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess. G. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love, and popularity. |

| Dear Mr. Smith, I'm very much glad to hear that your international shopping center will build non-smoking supermarket. In my opinion, it is a good idea to do so, for it can not only help the smokers to smoke less, and it can also do good to other customers' health. Since you had given up selling cigarettes, the customers don't like smoking are sure to support you. In addition, smoke in the shopping center may cause fire, which is very dangerous to both your possession and the safety of the customers. In a word, the non-smoking supermarket will not effect your business. To the contrary, it will help you attract more customers who want to keep health. Best wishes! Yours sincerely, Li Hua _______________________________________________________________________________________ |
