9、nce failures. Here are the stories of a few of them.Abraham Lincoln (18091865)Abraham Lincoln was one of Americas greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War (from 1860 to 1865). However, his life was never easy. He started numerous businesses that failed, he went bankrupt twice, and
10、was defeated in 26 campaigns for public office. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content and satisfied with your failure.” Vincent Van Gogh (18531890) Van Gogh was one of the most famous and influential painters in the history of Western Art. Hes f
11、amous for paintings such as The Starry Night, The potato Eaters and Sunflowers. However, during his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting for a very small amount of money. Despite this, he carried on painting, sometimes even going without food so he could complete his collection of over 800 know
12、n works. Albert Einstein (18791955) Albert Einstein won the Noble Prize in Physics in 1921. However, he wasnt always considered a genius. He didnt speak until he was four, and couldnt read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he was slow, so he was expelled from school and couldnt ge
13、t into the Zurich Polytechnic School. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress.” Stephen King (19472018) Stephen King was one of the bestselling authors of all time, but his first book, Carrie, was rejected by about 30 publishers. Finally, Stephen threw it into the bin, but his wife f

16、 before Christmas in 1968, Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders had an adventure out to the moon, becoming the first human beings to near and orbit our closest neighbour in space. On Christmas Eve, they pointed a TV camera out of the window of Apollo 8 and showed a global audience of 1 bill
17、ion the ancient moon moving slowly below their spaceship. As that movie played, Anders began reading, “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.” “I didnt choose it,” he said last October, when all three astronauts met to mark the 50th anniversary of their moon flight, at Chicagos Muse
18、um of Science and Industry, where their spaceship is displayed. When the three men returned to earth on December 27, they were surrounded by a sea of joy. That kind of collective joyborn of collective effortcan seem beyond us now. From the factory floor to the three men in the spaceship, an estimate
19、d (估计) 400,000 people had a hand in making the moon flight possible. Behind the joy there was also a dark danger Apollo 8 might face. If the astronauts made it into the moon orbit but their engine failed to fire when it was time to return, rescue would be impossible. They would circle the moon forev
20、er. But the astronauts did come home, and in the process they gave the world another gift: the celebrated photograph that came to be known as Earthrise. Even fifty years later, Borman and Lovell continued to play jokes on Anders, 85 then.“Im still trying to figure out who did it,” said Borman, with
21、a wink (眨眼睛) “You did it, I think,” Lovell answered. “William did it,” Borman admits.“He didnt want me to take it at first,” Anders said. “I have never said it before publicly,” said Borman, “but Im just proud that I was able to fly with these two talented guys. You did a really good job. ”24The men
22、 pointed a camera out of the window of Apollo 8_.Ato show the moon to the worldBto read some sentences to the audienceCto do some research into the ancient moonDto record what they were doing in the spacecraft25What danger might the Apollo 8 astronauts face?ATheir engine might explode in the orbit.B
23、They wouldnt land on the moon successfully.CThey might have no chance to return to the earth.DTheir spaceship might catch fire in the returning journey.26How old was William Anders when he went into space in Apollo 8?A27. B30. C35. D50.27What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?ATh
24、e flight. BThe earth. CThe reading. DThe picture.CFor the first time, Chinas South Pole researchers can eat fresh vegetables grown regularly, according to Wang Zheng, the grower, who came home last month after a 400day mission in Antarctica. “Growing vegetables in Antarctica reminded me of The Marti
25、an, a scifi movie about an astronaut who survives alone on the Mars by eating potatoes he grows there,” Wang said on Friday. “I totally understand the main character of the movie. I understand how he feels when he watches a small green plant grow in a fragile manmade environment,” said the 40yearold
26、 doctor. But he admitted that the conditions he faced in the Antarctic were much better than those in the film. Wang said the growth chamber (生长室) at the Zhongshan Station, had only a low yield when it was established in 2013. The amount was too small to make it possible for researchers to have vege
27、table dishes. To increase the yield, he reduced the number of vegetable varieties and focused on only some fastgrowing ones, which makes the output stable. As a result, during much of his stay there, at least one vegetable dish, such as cucumbers, lettuce or cabbage, was served at every meal for a g
28、roup of 18 researchers. Wang, an orthopedist, said he knew nothing about botany or farming before he arrived at the station in December, 2014.“I was given this job probably because my office is next to the growth chamber, and as a doctor, I had more spare time than others,” Wang said. He considered
29、many factors, such as light, temperature and humidity. Light music is played in the 16squaremeter greenhouse around the clock. “Mild music is good for vegetable growth,” he said. “We also played Buddhist music, which has soft melody.” “Growers before me did very good work. My job was to maintain the
30、 chamber and keep everything working.” Before the harvest, researchers had a very limited vegetable supplymostly potatoes and cabbage, which taste awful after months of storage. “Because of our success in growing vegetables, we can have fresh vegetables every day,” he said. “The Russian station is n
31、o more than one kilometer away from ours. We even had enough vegetables to invite our Russian colleagues for dinner. ”28About Wang Zheng, which of the following is TRUE according to the text?ABefore Wang Zheng, researchers in South Pole have no vegetables to eat.BHe stayed in Antarctica for more tha
32、n a year before he came back home.CHis idea of growing vegetables in Antarctica comes from an astronaut.DHe was sent to breed vegetables because he is an expert in it.29What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 probably mean?AWetness. BPersonality. CSoil. DHeat.30Which of the following factors is
33、 not necessary for vegetable growth?ALight. BTemperature. CHumidity. DMild music.31What can we know according to the last paragraph?AThe former growers did not do as well as Wang did.BChinese and Russian researchers get on well with each other.CCabbage and potatoes are not suitable for cooking.DThe
34、Russian station is far away from the Chinese station.DWhen she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders, Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier. But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climat
35、e. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasnt there anymore.Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a fulltime lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell, US, an idea for a class
36、.This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies. She used the experiences of Native American tribes(部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fixthat “this is such an intractable probl
37、em that theyre going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic(怀疑论者). Then he did his own reading and research, and changed his mind.Dillon wasnt going into environmental workhe was a computerscience major. Yet, the potential for a wo
38、rldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a fulltime volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration(恢复) projects.Six months into the work, he decided that Atkinsons class was just what he was looking fora place where he co
39、uld discuss his concerns about a changing climate.Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.“We are already changing the planetso many species are going to be lost, displaced or massively impact
40、ed,” she said. “The future isnt going to be what they imagined.”32Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?ATo lay a basis for Fawn Sharps further research.BTo prove Fawn Sharps work is similar to Atkinsons.CTo lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.DTo show scientists concern
41、 about the Mount Anderson glacier.33Whats the main purpose of Atkinsons class?ATo explore how different people deal with climate change.BTo get students more concerned about the environmental issue.CTo find solutions to the environmental issue of Olympic Mountains.DTo teach students how to conduct r
42、esearch about environment.34Which of the following best explains “intractable” underlined in Paragraph Three?ASimple. BDifficult. CCommon. DInteresting.35How did Atkinsons class influence Dillon?AIt made him work as a parttime volunteer for restoration projects.BIt made him realize a planetwide clim
43、ate disaster would happen.CIt encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.DIt discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Concern about extinction the permanent loss of a speciesmotivates a

Certainly, endangered animals suffer no lack of support. _36_ Surprisingly, some of the most endangered
45、plants are species that, up until recently, were used by humans as necessary food crops. _37_ In order to maximize productivity, farmers have chosen to focus on a handful of high yield crops that can be harvested efficiently. At one time, the number of plant species used by humans to meet their nutr

Some experts even claim that humans actually rely on merely twelve species of plants for most of their food.A single food crop generally contains several species, which may be further divided into hundreds of varieties, but these var

Ninety percent of the 10, 000 wheat varieties cultivated in China in 1949 are no longer used._39_ Crop diversity is a factor that ensures the continuation of certain beneficial natural

66、 dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire.
