Lena could clearly remember the night she had to flee her home in Hungary. It was the beginning of the Second World War and her family needed to escape fast. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized possession - a beautiful silk scarf. Lena and her best friend, Monika, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they each wore tied around their neck as a symbol of their friendship. Lena had no idea that when she left for America that night, she would never return. Her family settled on the sunny west coast in California.

Lena kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Lena was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but her granddaughter reassured her, “Don't worry, Grandma, nothing's going to happen to your scarf. You'll see. It is going to bring both of us luck today." With that, Eliza kissed her grandmother on the cheek and left.

That afternoon, Eliza left the interview feeling confident that she had got the job. She decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. As she sat at her table, she felt someone staring at her. Sitting next to her was an elderly woman who could not take her eyes off her. “I'm sorry. Do I know you?" Eliza asked.

“I'm sorry, dear, but you remind me of someone I once knew," the old woman replied in an accented voice. “My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you're wearing around your neck." Eliza felt goose bumps go up her arms. She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the significance of the scarf. Could this be Monika, her grandmother's childhood friend?

Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman. “My name is Monika, dear. I'm originally from Hungary, but my family had to leave when I was 14 and I've been living here in California ever since." Eliza could not believe it. She said, “Monika, would you mind going somewhere with me? I want to show you someone very special." The elderly woman agreed and they left the restaurant together.

They walked the short distance to Lena's home and rang the doorbell. When Lena opened the door, she was amazed to see her childhood friend standing in front of her. The scarf had indeed brought good luck.

The rapid pace of global warming and its effects on habitats raise the question of whether species are able to keep up so that they remain in suitable living conditions. Some animals can move fast to adjust to a quickly changing climate. Plants, being less mobile, rely on means such as seed dispersal (传播) by animals, wind or water to move to new areas, but this redistribution typically occurs within one kilometer of the original plant. Writing in Nature, Juan P. Gonzalez-Varo sheds light on the potential capacity of migratory (迁徙的) birds to aid seed dispersal.

Gonzalez-Varo and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate change through the help of migrating birds. They analyzed an impressive data set of 949 different seed-dispersal interactions between bird and plant communities, together with data on entire fruiting times and migratory patterns of birds across Europe.

The authors hypothesized (假定) that the direction of seed migration depends on how the plants interact with migratory birds, the frequency of these interactions or the number of bird species that might transport seeds from each plant species.

Perhaps the most striking feature of these inferred seed movements is the observation that 35 percent of plant species across European communities, which are closely related on the phylogenetic tree (进化树谱), might benefit from long-distance dispersal by the northward journey of migratory birds. This particular subset (小组) of plants tends to fruit over a long period of time, or has fruits that persist over the winter. This means that the ability of plants to keep up with climate change could be shaped by their evolutionary history - implying that future plant communities in the Northern Hemisphere ( 半球) will probably come from plant species that are phylogenetically closely related and that have migrated from the south.

This study provides a great example of how migratory birds might assist plant redistribution to new locations that would normally be difficult for them to reach on their own, and which might offer a suitable climate.

46. The rapid pace of global warming and its effect are mentioned in Paragraph I _______.

A. to call public attention to seed dispersal

B. to show the threat of climate change to human beings

C. to provide the background of Gonzalez -Varo's research

D. to explain why some animals can adapt to climate change

47. How could plants keep pace with the rapid climate change according to Gonzalez-Varo?

A. With the help of wind and water.

B. With the help of migratory birds.

C. By adjusting themselves to the climate.

D. By relying on animals on land.

48. How did Gonzalez-Varo and his colleagues conduct the research?

A. By analyzing related data.

B. By conducting field research.

C. By interviewing experts.

D. By reviewing findings of previous studies.

49. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A. Most plant species benefit from long-distance dispersal.

B. The evolutionary history of different plants is similar.

C. Plants with longer fruiting times adapt better when transported farther.

D. Plant communities in different hemispheres will become less related phylogenetically.

50. What could be the best title for the text?

A. Impacts of Climate Change on Migratory Birds.

B. Different Ways to Redistribute Plants to New Climates.

C. Plants Struggle to Keep Pace with Climate Change.

D. Migratory Birds Aid the Redistribution of Plants to New Climates.

D

Even though people have been paralyzed ( 瘫痪的) playing sports like rugby and football, extreme sports take the whole ordeal (磨难) to the next level. Sports like downhill cycling are very dangerous because one would be going downhill, over rocky or dirt zone, through forests, even at potentially deadly speeds. A slip up could be your downfall.

Nobody who gets into extreme sports goes with the desire to do harm to themselves. With that, athletes train for years and years before they attempt anything extreme. To most people, extreme sports are extreme simply because they take more skill than what an average person has. An athlete with skill and training makes an extreme thing become a daily routine, which does not wipe out the danger, but greatly reduces it.

Even when there is a lot of skill involved, things might not go the athlete's way, not at all. Luck and circumstances have a lot to do with how things develop, whether above 8,000 meters or in a wood, going downhill. In some places, crossing the street is an extreme sport, considering how wild traffic can get.

Some view parkour, the sports of running, jumping and climbing under, around and through buildings, as an extreme sport, while it is more of a life philosophy, where the athlete does not have to do anything remotely dangerous. Free soloing, which means climbing a rock or ice face without safety gear, is absolutely deadly, where one slip means almost certain death, depending on the height, of course. Skateboarding is relatively safe, but if you constantly find ridiculous places to practice on, like the fence of a bridge, then things can get very complicated. The extreme part depends on the athlete.

To summarize, yes, extreme sports are dangerous, but the danger depends on the athlete, their choice of sport, direction in which they take it, as well as the circumstances. Some things are out of our control, while others we can influence through exercise and healthier risk choices.

51. Why is downhill cycling mentioned in Paragraph l?

A. To call for attention to extreme sports.

B. To introduce the origin of extreme sports.

C. To illustrate the danger of extreme sports.

D. To show the complexity of the extreme sports.

52. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about regarding extreme sports?

A. Extreme sports differ from one another.

B. Skill matters a lot in maintaining safety.

C. Athlete's luck is a key factor that influences safety.

D. Extreme sports are more dangerous than regular sports.

53. In Paragraph 4, several extreme sports are listed to _______.

A. explain danger depends on the athlete

B. show free soloing is the most dangerous

C. compare which one involves the most skill

D. demonstrate how to choose an extreme sport

54. Which would best describe the author 's attitude towards the danger of extreme sports?

A. Doubtful.

B. Objective.

C. Intolerant.

D. Uninterested.

55. Which of the following is the best title of the text?

A. Do Extreme Sports Test Your Courage?

B. Why Should Extreme Sports Be Banned?

C. Why Do We Love Extreme Sports So Much?

D. Are Extreme Sports Really That Dangerous?

第一节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。

When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn't afford the operation because her family was poor.

Her mother ran a boarding house in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic (阁楼) one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript (手稿). On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry". It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So, it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boarding house, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry's.

My father then set out to sell it. Eventually he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.

My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.

56. What did the author' s father do at SMU? (no more than 12 words)

57. Why was O. Henry's manuscript found in the attic? (no more than 20 words)

58. What does the underlined word “authenticated" in Paragraph 2 mean? (1 word)

59. Why did the author's father set out to sell the manuscript? (no more than 10 words)

60. What do you think of the author's intention of writing such a story of his father?

Please explain. (no more than 25 words)
