| One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to the chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo (竹子) trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their upright or original position after the wind had died down. When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back or return to its original position, the word resilience (恢复力) comes to mind. When used in reference to a person, this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's emotions. Have you ever felt like you are about to snap (突然折断)? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it. During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and you most likely endured (忍耐) unpleasant physical symptoms (症状). Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don't break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you. If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break! |
| 1. When the writer talks about the bamboo trees, he wants to tell us _____. |
| A. he can't forget those bamboo trees B. he used to watch them bend under pressure and return to their upright position C. he still remembers the good days as a child D. he admires the character of the bamboo trees |
| 2. Which of the following is TRUE? |
| A. When you have overcome some depression, you show resilience. B. When you are about to snap, we say you are resilient. C. If you feel like you are at your breaking point, you are fortunate. D. If you feel mentally exhausted, you are likely to experience pleasant physical symptoms. |
| 3. What does the writer mean by saying"Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you?" |
| A. You should make the best of the situation. B. You should try your best to get the best situation. C. You should try your best not to be defeated by the situation. D. You should try your best not to give up the best situation. |
| 4. What would be the best title for the passage? |
| A. My fondest memories B. Good times and bad times C. Enjoy the peace and quiet D. Bend, but don't break |

| Tower Bridge is one of London's most well known landmarks. Opened in 1894, this hydraulic (液压的) bridge can be raised to permit river traffic to pass underneath. Visitors to Tower Bridge can enjoy wonderful views of the River Thames from the bridge towers. There is also a museum which explain how the bascule bridge operates and discusses its history. Tower Bridge is often incorrectly referred to as London Bridge. London Bridge, however, is a different bridge that is located directly upstream from Tower Bridge. The British Museum is a "must do" for all visitors to London England. Treasures from around the world can be found in Britain's largest and most popular museum. To top it off, admission to the British Museum is free of charge. Due to the enormous size of the museums, visitors should prioritize what they wish to see. One "must see" is the Rosetta Stone-a key puzzle piece in the recorded history of humankind. The British Museum is located in the Bloomsbury district of London in London WC1. Greenwich Park is a beautiful large park located a few kilometers away from the centre of London. Attractions in Greenwich include the Cutty Sark, the Gypsy Moth and the Old Royal Observatory. A painted line at the observatory indicates zero degrees of longitude (经度). Many visitors to Greenwich enjoy having their photos taken with one leg in the western hemisphere (半球) and the other in the eastern hemisphere. Greenwich is the place where time was officially tracked-"Greenwich Mean Time" or "GMT". Greenwich is located in London SE10. The Eurostar high - speed train service provides fast connections between London and Paris and London and Brussels. The Eurostar trains pass through the 32-mile Channel Tunnel under the English Channel. The tunnel is also known as the "Euro Tunnel" or "Chunnel". The Channel Tunnel is considered to be one of the world's great engineering wonders. Trains leave form the Waterloo Rail Station which is located in south London. |

| Every year farmers in areas which often suffer flood in Southeast Asia lose millions of tons of rice to high water that kills their crops. That large amount of waste may soon be a thing of the past: SUBIA, a gene discovered by researchers which the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the University of California, allows rice plants carrying the gene to live completely under water for two weeks. Flood - resistant (抗水浸) rice turned up among the 110,000 types of seed stored at the institute. It produced disappointingly low yields (产量), but scientists were able to transfer the gene into more bountiful varieties. These have shown promising results in tests by growers in India and Bangladesh over the past two years. This rice success story would not have been possible without the treasure of genetic diversity hidden in the IRRI's vault (underground room). As the world faces new agricultural challenge-charging climate, bugs and diseases that have developed resistance (抵抗力) to old defenses - such genetic resources are likely to become increasingly valuable. Fortunately, the IRRI is one of more than 1,000 organizations around the world working to protect crop genes. Most plant species grown for food have an associated bank that stores thousands of samples; seeds of landraces, wild relatives, and varieties that are rare, old, or adapted to very specific environments. The banks ensure that it will be possible to develop new varieties in the future. The need for these botanical libraries has its roots in modern agricultural practices. According to the U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization, 75 percent of plant diversity has been lost over the last century. Of more than 30,000 eatable species, humans grow just 200 for food; 60 percent of plant calories in our diet comes from wheat, rice, and corn. |
| 1. According to the second paragraph, what can we learn about the flood-resistant rice? |
| A. It produces a small amount of rice. B. Scientists have developed many more varieties of it. C. Scientists have managed to improve its output. D. It can produce more rice than the other 110,000 types at the institute. |
| 2. From the passage we can infer that _____. |
| A. the newly - discovered gene will bring hope to the farmers in the areas often suffering flood B. scientists will not be able to change the fact that rice plants carrying the gene produce low yields C. the tests by growers in India and Bangladesh were hopeless D. 110,000 types of seed stored at the Institute are flood - resistant |
| 3. What's the main idea of the third paragraph? |
| A. The world faces new agricultural challenges. B. Such genetic resources are likely to become valuable. C. Scientists set up banks to store thousands of seed samples. D. We should owe the rice success story to the seed banks. |
| 4. As to the botanical libraries, the writer thinks they are _____. |
