第一节 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When Luca first heard of the Island of Inventions, he was still very young. But its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. From that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which
might lead him to the island. He read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics and chemistry, even music.
Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like. It was a secret place, where all the great wise men of the world would meet to learn and invent together. Access to the island was totally restricted. To join, you had to have created some great invention for humanity. Only
then could you receive the special invitation — which came with directions to the island.
So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing. Every new idea he got, he made it into an invention, and if there were something he didn't understand, he’d seek others to help him. Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions. They too dreamed of one day receiving an invitation letter.
As years passed, the disappointment of not receiving their invitation made Luca and his friends work harder and co-operate more. They would meet in Luca's house, share their ideas and build new machines. Their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions. But still, no invitation came.
They didn’t lose heart. They continued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. Fresh young talent joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island.
One day many years later, Luca, already very old, was speaking with a brilliant young man named Roberts, who had written to him, asking him to join the group. Luca started telling the man of the wonderful Island of Inventions, and of how he was sure that some day they would receive an invitation. Surprised, the young inventor interrupted:
―You mean this place isn’t the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation?‖
It was only then that Luca realised that his dream had become true in his very own house. No island could exist which would be better than where he was now. No place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. Luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one.
26. Luca’s picture of the Island of Inventions was mainly based on
________.
A. scientific research B. his imagination
C. reports of others D. history books
27. Why did Luca and his colleagues probably never receive an invitation to the island?
A. Their ideas were not considered worthy enough.
B. They were too concerned with acquiring fame.
C. The organization had already broken up.
D. The island was not a real place.
28. What was Roberts’ reaction to Luca’s story of the island?
A. He thought he had already arrived at the island.
B. He was disappointed to discover it didn’t exist.
C. He was excited about receiving an invitation.
D. He expressed surprise that Luca believed in such fairy tales.
29. What did Luca learn at the end of the story?
A. The island of inventions did not exist.
B. He had wasted most of his life.
C. He had unknowingly built his own dreamland.
D. He finally would receive his invitation.
30. Which of the following best describes Luca?
A. Aggressive. B. Trusting. C. Creative. D. Easy-going.
B
Imagine putting a seed in a freezer, waiting 30,000 years, and then taking the seed out and planting it. Do you think a flower would grow?
Amazingly, scientists have just managed to do something very similar.
They found the fruit of an ancient plant that had been frozen underground in Siberia — a region covering central and eastern Russia — for about 31,800 years. Using pieces of the fruit, the scientists grew plants in a lab. The new blooms have delicate white petals. They are also the oldest flowering plants that researchers have ever revived from a deep freeze.
―This is like regenerating a dinosaur from tissues of an ancient egg,‖ said University of California, Los Angeles biologist Jane Shen-Miller.
The plant has a long history. Back when mammoths and woolly
rhinoceroses walked the land, an Arctic ground squirrel buried seeds and fruits in an underground chamber near the Kolyma River in northeastern Siberia. The ground became permafrost, a layer of soil that stays frozen for a long time.
Recently, Russian scientists dug out the old squirrel hole and found the plant remains 38 meters below the surface. Back at the lab, the team fed
nutrients to tissue from three of the fruits to grow shoots. Then the scientists transferred the shoots to pots filled with soil. The plants produced seeds that could be used to grow even more of them.
It’s important for scientists to know that plant tissues can still be revived after being frozen for a long time. That’s because many researchers are trying to preserve the seeds of modern plants by freezing them and then storing them in giant lockers at various spots around the globe. One such endeavor, an underground facility in Norway, is called the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. It stores hundreds of thousands of frozen seeds. If a plant ever
goes extinct, scientists could bring it back by taking its seeds from the Svalbard or other storage lockers.
―No one knows how long they are able to live for, but freezing is basically the format for many plant conservation attempts nowadays.‖ Shen-Miller said. It’s a good thing that at least some plants are tough enough to survive the experience.
31. How did the fruit originally get underground?
A. It was placed there by an animal.
B. It was trapped there during the ice-age.
C. It was planted there by ancient farmers.
D. It was buried there after the earthquake.
32. Which of the following was NOT used to recreate the ancient plant?
A. Modern nutrients. B. Parts of its fruit.
C. Its frozen seeds. D. Plant pots with soil.
33. Why are scientists interested in this discovery?
A. It helps them learn how plant life has changed in the past 30,000 years.
B. It can help guide future efforts to protect endangered plant-life.
C. It can provide directions for where to look for other ancient plants.
D. It proves that all plant life can survive for thousands of years when frozen.
34. The underlined word ―they‖ in the final paragraph refers to _______.
A. plants B. seeds C. scientists D. storage lockers
35. The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A. discuss a plant conservation effort
B. introduce some ancient plants
C. outline some causes of global warming
D. describe a scientific research project
C
As thousands of communities in the USA — especially in the South — became booming gateways for immigrant families from Central and South America during the 1990s and the early years of the new century, public schools struggled with the unfamiliar task of serving the large numbers of English learners arriving in their classrooms.
Education programs needed to be built from scratch. ―We had no teaching resources suitable for English learners here before. We had to develop them all ourselves,‖ a Texas principal said. Throughout the country, districts had to train their own teachers to teach English to non-native speakers or recruit teachers from elsewhere. School staff members had to figure out how to communicate with parents who spoke no English.
But even as immigration has slowed or stopped in many places, and instructional programs for English-learners have matured, serving
immigrant families and their children remains a work in progress in many public schools, especially those in communities that are skeptical, or
