20、 dad had planted, and when there was a slight wind, the bamboos sounded really musical.”A fisheries biologist, Heinricher, 47, planned to work in the salmon industry in Seattle, where she lived with her husband, Guy Thornburgh, but she found it too competitive. Then her garden gave her the idea for
21、a business: shed plant 20 bamboo forests on their sevenacre farm.Heinricher started BooShoot Gardens in 1998. She realized early on what is just now beginning to be known to the rest of the world.

22、added bonus: Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbon dioxide as a group of hardwood trees and releases 35 percent more oxygen.First she had to find a way to massproduce the plantsa tough task, since bamboo flowers create seed only once every 50 to 100 years.

I believed in what we were doing, though, so I just kept going.”She was right to feel a sense of urgency. Bamboo
24、forests are being rapidly used up, and a United Nations report showed that even though bamboo is highly renewable，as many as half of the worlds species are threatened with dying out. Heinricher knew that bamboo could make a significant impact on carbon emissions (排放) and world economies, but only if
25、 huge numbers could be produced. And thats just what she and Burr figured out after nine years of experimentsa way to grow millions of plants. By placing cuttings in test tubes with salts, vitamins, plant hormones, and seaweed gel, they got the plants to grow and then raised them in soil in greenhou
26、ses.Not long after it, Burrs lab hit financial difficulties. Heinricher had no experience running a tissue culture operation, but she wasnt prepared to quit. So she bought the lab.Today Heinricher heads up a profitable multimilliondollar company, working on species from all over the world and sellin

30、nricher finally succeeded in realizing her childhood dream.答案课时作业(十六).1.D考查动词辨析。prevent意为“阻止”；present意为“赠送，提出，介绍”；prepare意为“准备”，均不符合题意。preserve表示“保护，保持”。句意：保持这些有趣的旧风俗对我们来说是必要的。2B动词短语辨析。句意：我在学习的时候无法容忍非常大的噪音。put up with忍受，容忍；keep away from使避开，使远离，get rid of 摆脱，远离。3A考查动词短语的辨析。句意：她在抽屉里偶然发现一些旧照片。come acr
31、oss偶然看到(读到、想到、碰到)；come about发生，造成；come after跟踪，继之后(不可用被动语态)；come at扑向、考虑。根据句意可知答案为A。4D考查形容词或形容词短语作状语。形容词作状语表示结果或伴随。tired but sound累但是很健康。5A考查连词的使用。now that相当于一个连词，引导一个句子，其中that也可以省略，意为“既然”；before和although“虽然”也是连词，但填入句中句意明显不对。as well as是介词短语，不可引导一个句子，可排除。句意：既然你长大了，就不应该依靠你的父母。6C考查固定结构。be restricted to
32、是一固定结构，表示“被限制在内”。句意：只有高中生才能参加这次竞赛。7C考查witness的用法。witness to (doing) sth.表示“证明(做了)某事”。故答案为C。8A考查动词在具体语境中的运用。abandon意为“放弃，遗弃”，如：abandon ones country/friend/family/a bad habit/hope背弃祖国/背弃朋友/抛弃家庭/革除恶习/放弃希望；involve牵涉；appoint任命，委派；tolerate 容忍，忍受。根据语境可知，答案为A。9C考查动词短语的词义辨析。burst out (crying/ laughing)突然(大哭、
33、大笑)起来；burst forth 突然发生，突然爆发；burst into (tears/laughter)突然(大哭、大笑)起来；burst in突然插嘴。很明显，答案为C。10A情景对话题。句意：“你后悔在会上提出你的观点吗？”“不后悔，相反，我觉得这很有必要。” on the contrary正好相反；first of all首先；on the other hand另一方面；in a word简而言之。.本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了在一辆公共汽车上，有两个小偷想偷我钱包里的钱，却被一个漂亮女孩发现以及这个女孩如何帮“我”摆脱这两个小偷的故事。11C根据that we stood for s
34、everal stops until a vacant seat was可知当时车内人很多，很拥挤。12B根据vacant一词可知为“空着的(座位)”，available意为“可得到的”。13Aidentify意为“认出，识别”；realize意为“意识到”；remind意为“提醒”；judge意为“判断”。根据the stranger可知作者并不认识她。14Dtakefor为固定搭配，意为“把认为是”。根据上文可知作者不认识这个漂亮的女孩，所以她一定是把“我”认成是其他某个人了。15B由于女孩的友好，作者也很有礼貌地跟她打招呼，与此同时他心里打算过后(later)和女朋友进行解释。故选B。1
35、6C17Daware of意为“意识到”。当作者的女朋友嫉妒地问这个漂亮的女孩是谁时，漂亮的女孩意识到作者当时的处境，所以先开口作了自我介绍。18C根据Im Nancy可知女孩在进行自我介绍。19B根据下一段But I was _ to search in my memory for someone called Nancy among my neighbors.可知，此处女孩说他们过去是邻居。20A由上文可知“我”的女朋友见“我”和这个漂亮的女孩打招呼，就问“我”她是谁，然后女孩作了自我介绍，并且表示“我们”曾经是邻居。由语境可知，女孩打招呼等一系列表现都很自然，故应选naturally。2
36、1Bin a hurry意为“匆忙地”；at a loss意为“不知所措地，茫然地”；at ease意为“舒适，自在地”；in time意为“及时”。根据上文可知，当女孩介绍她是“我”曾经的邻居时，“我”还是想不起来以前曾有这样一位邻居，可见“我”当时是很茫然的。22Csb. be doing sth. when为固定句式，意为“某人正准备做某事，就在这时”。23B留下电话号码以便日后联系。can表示“能够”。should 表示“应该”，A项时态不一致，must表示“必须”。故应选B。24A“Will you give me your cell phone number keep contac
37、ts later？”这是女孩的请求。25D根据下文and read the note 可知女孩给“我”发来了一条手机短信息。26Bseize强调“紧抓”这个状态，catch强调“接住”或“抓住”这个结果。根据and read the note可知此处强调的是“紧抓”的状态。27Dpick ones pocket为固定搭配，表示“扒窃”，相当于steal money from ones pocket。28CA意为“致命的，不治的，末端的”；B意为“以前的，前者的”；C意为“先前的”；D意为“后者的”。根据上文Then the girl got off the bus at the next st
38、op.可知女孩为了帮助我，才在下一站下车，事实上她本该在前一站就下车的。29Bintend to do sth.意为“打算做某事”。30Aincident表示“小事”；matter表示“事情，问题”；accident表示“事故”；affair表示“事件”。根据上文可知这是一件小事，故选A。.AAmelia的一生是奋斗的一生，她的独立性格和对人生的挑战精神让人印象深刻。31D根据第二段可排除A；根据第四段中“if there are things others cannot do or will not do”可知B项错误；根据第三段可排除C项；根据第六段最后一句可知D项是正确的。32A通过电影
39、表现飞行先驱者的精彩人生。present“呈现”，符合语境。33C34B整篇文章介绍了Amelia的事件，很明显是报纸上的新闻，故B项正确。B本文是一篇记叙文，其大意是说Jackie Heinricher开办了一家生意独特的公司出售有益于地球环境的植物竹子，并且还介绍她栽种竹子的艰辛历程。35A细节理解题。根据文章的最后一句可知本题选A。36C推理判断题。根据第三段大意可知本题选C。37A词义猜测题。由renewable的构成可知其词根是new，加后缀able意思是：能够更新的；加前缀re意思是：再，又，重新，由此可知本题选A。38B推理判断题。通过最后一段的首句可知Heinricher的生意很成功，结合前文所述她在获得成功之前所经历的困难，故本题选B。
