17.It would have been a success story if Fullerton High School senior Fernando Rojas,the son of Mexican immigrants whose schooling stopped in the eighth grade,was accepted to college.But the 17-vear-o1d achieved a surprising clean sweep-he was accepted to every Ivy League (常春藤)schoo1.
"I am so lucky,"Roias told The Orange County Register on Saturday."When I got all  eight,it was a blessing and a curse because I had to choose.I was excited and scared and  everything at the same time."
The first call came from Yale University in February.Within weeks calls,emails and letters followed from the other seven universities.Rojas also was accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools,the University of California,Irvine,and California State University,Fullerton.
He is one of four children of Raul Rojas,59,and wife,Mafia,56,who moved to Fullerton  from Jalisco,Mexico,in the early 1980s.
A national speech and debate champion,Rojas reasoned that if he applied to the eight Ivy  League schools,he might get into one.Sal Tinajero,Rojas'speech and debate coach at  Fullerton,told the newspaper that Rojas is a hardworking self-starter who thrives(茁壮成长)  on competition."His biggest motivation for speech and debate was his parents to know that  their hard work meant something,"Tinajero said.
After visiting several campuses,he settled on Yale,which costs 64,000ayearwithroomandboard.Heisresponsiblefor6,000;Yale scholarships and federal grant money cover the  rest.
He'll mostly take it easy during the summer before heading to Yale in late August.He's considering majoring in Latin American studies and perhaps a career as a lawyer or in  international affairs.

10.I grew up on a farm outside Poet Clinton,Ohio.I was the youngest son,with four brothers and four sisters,plus a girl my parents took in.By the late 60s,most of us were (41)B and had families of our own.One day,(42)Cwe were visiting my parents in late summer or early fall.Dad mentioned he'd (43)D wanted a Crimson King maple tree for the yard.Mom agreed that they were pretty.

8.A team led by a nurseryman (花圃工人) and his sons has raced against time for 20years,using branches from some of the world's biggest and most long-lasting trees to produce clones that could restore ancient forests and help fight climate change.
Now comes the most ambitious step of the project:getting the new trees into the ground.Plantings of two dozen clones from California's huge coastal redwoods will take place Monday in seven nations:Australia,New Zealand,Great Britain,Ireland,Canada,Germany and the U.S.
The lab-produced trees are genetic copies of three huge trees that were cut down in northern California more than a century ago.Remarkably,new branches still grow from the stumps (树桩),including one known as the Fieldbrook Stump,which measures 35feet in diameter (直径).It's believed to be about 4,000years old.
"We need to reforest the planet.To do that,it just makes sense to use the largest,oldest trees that ever lived,"said David Milarch,co-founder of the non-profit Archangel Ancient Tree Archive.
Milarch and his sons Jared and Jake,who have a family-owned nursery,became concerned about the condition of the world's forests in the 1990s.They began traveling across the U.S.in search of"champion"trees that have lived hundreds or even thousands of years,believing that better genes make it possible for them to outlive others of their species.Scientific opinion varies on whether that's true,with skeptics saying the survivors may simply have been lucky.
The Archangel team says they've developed several methods of producing genetic copies.They focus on towering sequoias (高耸的水杉)and redwoods,considering them best suited to absorb great amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2),the greenhouse gas primarily responsible for climate change.
The challenge is to find places to put the trees,people to look after them and money to continue the project,Jared Milarch said.The group is funded through donations and doesn't charge for its clones.
"A lot of trees will be planted by a lot of groups on Arbor Day,but 90percent of them will die,"David Milarch said."You can't plant trees and walk away and expect them to take care of themselves."Those receiving Archangel redwoods have promised to care for them properly.

28.According to the text,the clonesC.
A.are rather expensive
B.are based on dead ancient trees
C.have been experimented for 20years
D.have been widely grown across the U.S.
29.To reforest the planet,David Milarch chooses the largest,oldest trees becauseB.
A.they are lucky treesB.they have better genes
C.they are easier to plantD.they look more beautiful.
30.David Milarch's team believes that genetic copies from sequoias and redwoodsA.
A.can take in more greenhouse gases
B.are hard to survive for a long time
C.are likely to cause climate change
D.may be a threat to existing plants
31.What is stressed by David Milarch in the last paragraph?C
A.The need of financial support.
B.The difficulty of finding places.
C.The importance of caring for trees.
D.The challenge of running his group.
5.One day a man was walking in the street when he met a penguin (企鹅).It was a handsome and very brave bird. It seemed to take an immediate liking to the man,because it walked up to him and then followed him wherever he went.This was funny for a while but in the end became rather embarrassing(尴尬的).

A bored policeman looked up from what he was writing and said,"Just take it to the zoo,sir.''
"Oh,all right.''said the man.

6.Given that female bed bugs lay over 200eggs during their lifetime,it's not surprising that about one out of five American households have had or know someone who has had a bed bug infection.But a new study shows that an unexpected weapon may be useful in the fight against the tiny,biting enemies:color The BBC's Michelle Roberts reports that bed bugs appear to have strong preferences for certain colors.
A group of researchers became curious about whether bed bugs like certain colors,so they created tiny tents,or harborages of different colors and placed them in petri dishes(培养皿).The researchers then put bed bugs on the center of the dish,giving them ten minutes to choose which harborage they wanted to hide in.
Bed bugs are nest parasites(寄生虫)-that's why they love human"nests,"or bedrooms.So they're crazy about finding shelter.As a result,it would make sense that a bug placed on the scary broadness of a petri dish would rush for cover as soon as possible.
Most of the bugs ran to black and red harborages,passing by ones of other colors.And they weren't into yellow or green at a11.Overall,the bugs preferred harborages in this order:red,black,orange,blue,lilac,violet and green.Gender influenced the decisions because groups of single-gender bugs preferred the same colors Researchers guess that the decisions may have to do with bugs'considering different shelters as better or worse places to mate or perhaps stay safe from enemies.
"We originally thought the bed bugs might prefer red because blood is red and that's what they feed on,"says Dr.Corraine McNeill"However,after doing the study,the main reason we think they prefer red colors is that bed bugs themselves appear red,so they go to these harborages because they want to be with other bed bugs,as they are known to exist in groups."
28.What did the research discover?A
A.Bed bugs are particular about certain colors.
B.Bed bugs have a preference for living in groups.
C.Bed bugs are difficult toget rid of.
D.Bed bugs are afraid of dark colors.
29.The word"harborages"in Para 2can be replaced by"D".
A.bed rooms    
B.dishes    
C.eggs 
D.shelters
30.Bed bugs like red mainly becauseA.
A.they are red
B.red is beautiful
C.red can scare their enemies away
D.b1ood is red and they feed on blood
31.What colour sheet should people choose against bed bugs according to the research?B
A.Red.    
B.Yellow.    
C.White.
D.Black.
