When I was 22, I met Sue whose father was also a heavy drinker, so my behavior didnt surprise her. We were soon married
36、and later had two daughters. I started my first business when I was in my mid-twenties. A few years later, I bought a large chicken farm. Even with this success, though, my drinking was always a problem. It affected my marriage and family so much that I knew I had to make up my mind to stop drinking
37、. So I tried great efforts. But two years later, I began drinking again. When I was in my mid-thirties, I sold both of my businesses, and bought the big house on the hill. I was not at all happy, although I had everything that was supposed to make me happy. I sold our big house on the hill and bough
38、t a large land, where I built a new house. Our marriage was in big trouble, and my finances would go down the drain.

39、 I was 38, and my kids had to go through our divorce. I spent 6 months in giving up drinking on a school camp. Nearly a year later, I met my childhood neighbor girl, June.

40、 continued about ten years. Everything was going so well when I felt there was something wrong with my body. I went to see a doctor, and the medical examination came out that I had ALS(肌肉萎缩症).

47、tating for biodiversity. Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals and other living things that are all interconnected. The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life. The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis (光合作用) by green plants. Insects, worms an
48、d bacteria break down waste and make soils rich. And tiny organisms clean the water in rivers and sea. In fact, all life on the earth exists thanks to the benefits of biodiversity. More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species. And 30 percent of
49、 medicines are developed from plants and animals. Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.The loss of biodiversity could be devastating. “It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said
50、Harvard University biologist Edward O. Wilson, known as the “father of biodiversity”. He warned, “We are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will become irreversible (不可挽回的).”But what can we do? The present problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague (含糊的). Peo
51、ple might care about giant pandas, but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines. The Guardian newspaper is trying to help. It has launched the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to co
52、nvince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity. This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to reserve the decrease in the sea-life caused by industrial fishing, stopping fishing sharks by the Japanese f
53、ishermen and banning the killing of dingoes (wild dogs) in Australia, among many other things.There is a lot to do. And wed better act quickly if we dont want to end up with a planet that cant sustain life!64. The writer thinks it _ to pull down Big Ben to make way for a car park.A. unreasonableB. n
54、ecessaryC. difficultD. reasonable65. Edward O. Wilson thinks that _.A. it doesnt matter to reduce biodiversityB. people have done enough to preserve biodiversityC. the situation of biodiversity is very serious D. biodiversity loss has become irreversible66. When it comes to biodiversity, the present
55、 problem is that _.A. people dont realize that biodiversity is vital to everyday lifeB. people are not aware that giant pandas are endangeredC. people might not clearly know what is biodiversity and what should be protectedD. people hunt sea creatures for foodDJohn Blanchard stood up from the bench,
56、 straightened his Army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didnt, the girl with the rose.His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the
57、 shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owners name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located h
58、er address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a
59、fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldnt matter what she looked like.When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting - 7:00 PM at the Grand Central Station in New
60、York. “Youll recognize me,” she wrote, “by the red rose Ill be wearing on my lapel.” So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face hed never seen.Ill let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened: A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her
61、 blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, attr
62、active smile curved her lips. “Going my way, sailor?” she murmured.Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her th
63、ick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.And there she stood. Her p
64、ale, plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her.This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love
65、, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment. “Im Lieutenant（中尉）John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could
66、 meet me; may I take you to dinner?”The womans face broadened into a tolerant smile. “I dont know what this is about, son,” she answered, “but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go
67、and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”Its not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynells wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive. “Tell me whom you love,” Houssaye wrote, “And
68、I will tell you who you are.”67. How did John Blanchard get to know Miss Hollis Maynell?A. They lived in the same city.B. They were both interested in literature.C. John came across Hollis in a Florida library.D. John knew Holliss name from a library book.68. Hollis refused to send Blanchard a photo
69、 because _.A. she thought true love is beyond appearanceB. she wasnt confident about her appearanceC. she was only a middle-aged womanD. she had never taken any photo before they knew69.When Blanchard went over to greet the woman, he was _.A. disappointed but well-behaved B. satisfied and confidentC
70、. annoyed and bad-mannered D. shocked but inspired70. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Dont Judge a Book by its Cover B. The Symbol of RoseC. Love is blind D.

Thank you.
