5．One sentence from the news in Washington has remained in my mind since a trip last summer："When you see people run against the crowd escaping（61）fromthe danger，they are （62）probably（probable） firefighters，police or journalists．
I think this is most true for the firefighters．Whenever and wherever （63）disasters（disaster） happen-9/11 Attacks in New York 14 years ago or the explosion in Tianjin on Wednesday night-it is always the firefighters（64）that/whotake the lead to run to the very center，saving lives by（65）risking（risk） their own．I cried today near the explosion site，not because of the smoke from the ongoing fire（66）butbecause of a short message a firefighter sent to a trusted friend that went viral online．It reads，"If I cannot make it，my father is（67）yours（you）； and please remember（68）to sweep（sweep） my mother's tomb．"I was thrilled later to learn that he did make it
"Everyone knows it's （69）dangerous（danger） to be a firefighter．But he has always liked it and has done it for 12 years，"his father said．"He survived this time，but no one knows what（70）will happen（happen） next time．"

2．"Eat local．"It's one way to reduce human effect on the planet．Eating local means to try to buy and consume（消耗） foods that are grown in places close to home．However，most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown or produced．Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands of miles away．During the transportation，greenhouse gases are produced，causing global warming．So the shorter the distance your foods must travel，the less the harm is done to the environment．
But how do you get local food if you live in a large city，hundreds of miles away from farms？Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a"vertical（垂直的） farm"．
A vertical farm is a glasswalled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper（摩天大楼）．Since the garden is built upwards，rather than outwards，it requires much less space than an ordinary farm．The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming．Vertical farms could be a key to this situation．Despommier imagines a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor．The walls of the building would be clear，to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible．Depending on a city's water resources，Despommier thinks hydroponic（水培） farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants．
Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a city's waste water and fill it with nutrition to make the crops grow．If this method works，it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water．
The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world．Scott Stringer，a government official from New York City，thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming．"Obviously we don't have much land left for us，"Stringer said，"But the sky is the limit in Manhattan．"
Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality．"But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way．"he says．
8．Why are people advised to eat local？C
A．Because it means convenience to people．
B．Because it can help people save a lot of money．
C．Because it is environmentally friendly．
D．Because local food has more nutrition．
9．Which is one of the vertical farm's benefits when compared with ordinary farming？B
A．It produces healthier food．
B．It needs less space of the city．
C．It consumes more energy of the city．
D．It does less harm to the cities．
10．From Stringer'words we can conclude thatD．
A．Manhattan has a great potential（潜力） for development
B．there is a limit for using empty land in Manhattan
C．the height of buildings in Manhattan is limited
D．people can make full use of vertical space of Manhattan
11．What can we infer about the vertical farming in the passage？B
A．It has solved the problem of the food shortage in a big way．
B．In a vertical farm，soil may not be needed to grow plants．
C．It is a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor．
D．Crops are mainly grown in the rainwater in a vertical farm．

9．The vast，rural stretches of the United States have，in many ways，defined the American spirit．Up until the 20th century，the majority of Americans lived in the countryside，in what's called"Middle America"or"the Heartland"．
But research has shown that growing up in America's Heartland can put students at a disadvantage when it comes to their college education．This，in turn，can hinder （to make it difficult for something to develop or succeed ）their social mobility．
A 2015study released by the US Department of Education investigated the gap between urban and rural college students，by concentrating on a group of high school graduates from Indiana．
US'national statistics had previously shown that only 27percent of rural students enroll in college，compared to 37percent of city kids．
What the study found was that urban and rural students left high school with similar academic backgrounds．Yet，the rural students were more inclined to settle for two-year colleges or less selective universities，even though they had the potential to attend to better schools．
The researchers say distance heavily influenced the students'decisions．"The farther rural graduates'high schools were from colleges，the more likely rural graduates were to enroll in a two-year college or to‘undermatch'with a college，"the report read．Many of the rural students indicated that living close to family was a priority．
But the researchers also noted that resources were scarcer for the rural students．Selective universities tended to concentrate their recruitment efforts on dense，urban centers，where there were more students to meet．
A rural teen's educational opportunities may also depend on gender．Casey Quinlan，writing for The Atlantic，notes that rural women are more likely to marry sooner．"Early marriage occurs most frequently among young adults with low educational background，"Quinlan said，citing a 2010study．
But the problem of social mobility isn't limited to the rural population．The United States has one of the highest rates of income inequality among developed nations．And by some measures，rural residents might have an advantage．
Stanford University's 2015Poverty and Inequality Report found that poverty was hardest to escape in the American South，and in places with high racial segregation．It concluded that urban areas actually"tend to have lower rates of social mobility than rural areas"．
"The successful children growing up in rural areas do not just ‘move up' but also generally‘move out'．That is，they typically move to large metropolitan areas，often out of their state of birth，"the report explained．
Rural areas are also hoping to give their residents a boost up the social ladder．In Kansas，graduates can get 15，000 （95，297yuan） to pay off their student debt if they move to a rural county．They keep more money in their pockets and get to enjoy more economic freedom as a result．
74．What is the main reason that the rural graduates choose to enter two-year college or to‘undermatch'with a college？B
A．The graduates in the rural areas start a family as early as possible．
B．Many of the graduates regard living close to family as a priority．
C．A rural teen's educational opportunities may also depend on gender．
D．Most young adults with low educational backgrounds lose the chance easily．
75．The successful children growing up in rural areas do not just ‘move up'but also generally‘move out'Here‘move up'means that they canD．
A．enjoy luxury life like top class
B．develop themselves faster than ever
C．come into the top class of a college
D．climb to the top of the social ladder
76．From the research released by the US Department of Education，we know thatB．
A．the gender gap might hinder the development of the graduates in the rural area
B．the distance outweighs the academic backgrounds in graduates decision making
C．the social ladder gap might stop graduates from being enrolled into better colleges
D．the racial segregation stops the graduates in the rural area getting high salary
77．From what author has described in the last paragraph We can predict thatB．
A．the policy might encourage girls in the rural area marry earlier
B．the policy might attract more graduates to work in the rural area
C．the policy might make selective universities to focus on the rural area
D．the policy might make it easier for the graduates to develop better and faster．

19．The car is aconvenient（方便的） means of transport，but we have made it our way of life．

6．Eventually（最后；终于），the soldiers made a breakthrough and the D-Day landings were successful．

9．Without mypermissionanyone is not allowed to enter．（允许）

10．The little boy does not have the intelligenceto tell right from wrong．
