1．Air pollution is getting more and more serious in many places around the world．The fact that public parks in cities become crowded proves that people long to breathe in green，open spaces．And，in these surroundings，they are generally both peaceful and peaceable．It is rare to see people being at odds or even fighting in a garden．It seems to be proved that if human beings can freely breathe and share air，there is no primary reason for them to struggle with one another．
       But do we only sense what life could be when we enjoy green spaces？
       The plant world silently shows us what a reflection of life truthfully is．It also helps us to a new beginning，urging us to care for our breath．We must，in turn，care for it，opposing any sort of pollution that destroys both our world and that of plants．The interdependence to which we must pay the closest attention is what exists between ourselves and the plant world．Often described as"the lungs of the planet"，the woods that cover the earth offer us the gift of breathable air by releasing oxygen．But their capacity to renew the air polluted by industry has long reached its limit．If we continue to pollute the air by filling it with chemicals and destroy the ability of plants to restore it we will soon pull our world into an unavoidable disaster．
      Humans must learn to share life，both with each other and with plants．This task can be carried out only when each takes it upon her 一 or himself 一 and only when all work together．The lesson taught by plants is that human life can only exist with nature．We must come to view the air，the plants and ourselves as the contributors to the protection of life and growth，rather than productive objects we can use and throw away freely．Perhaps then we would finally begin to live，rather than merely survive．

51．What does the underlined part"being at odds"mean？D
A．relaxing      B．exercising     C．hurrying     D．conflicting
52．According to the first paragraph，what does the author suppose might be the primary reason that people would struggle with each other？A
A．To get their share of clean air．
B．To pursue a comfortable life．
C．To gain a higher social status．
D．To seek economic benefits．
53．What does the author try to draw our closest attention to？B
A．The massive burning of fossil fuels．
B．Our relationship to the plant world．
C．The capacity of plants to renew polluted air．
D．Large-scale deforestation across the world．
54．How can human beings achieve the goal of protecting the planet，according to the author？D
A．By showing respect for plants．
B．By preserving all forms of life．
C．By consuming all natural resources．
D．By all making their efforts together．
55．What does the author suggest we do in order to not just survive，but live better？C
A．Expand the range of living．
B．Develop nature's potentials．
G．Share life with nature．
D．Explore new resources．

5．Born in 1949，Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion．Like many young athletes，she had Olympic dreams，but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games．The disappointment didn't stop her from going forward．Instead，she became interested in marathon swimming．A brilliant athlete，she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water．As a long-distance swimmer，she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance，danger，cold，and exhaustion．
    For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world's best long-distance swimmers．In 1970，she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario，setting the women's record for the course．In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida．Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975．
    Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in l978．Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide，it is rough and dangerous．After battling the water for two days，she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety．Even so，she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed．For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reading Cuba．That is how she defined success．It did not matter that her swim came up short；she believed she had touched the other shore．
    When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer，she continued to try new things-travelling the world as a reporter，writing books and giving public speeches about her life．Diana Nyad works to inspire others，just as she did when she swam the waters of the world．

56．What prevented Nyad from taking part in the Olympic Games？（No more than 5 words）A serious illness（did）
57．What does the underlined word"obstacles"mean？（1 word）Difficulties/Problems/Troubles/Challenges
58．What achievement did Nyad make in 1970？（No more than 10 words．）She swam a ten-mile marathon and set women's record．
Or：She swam a ten-mile marathon，setting the women's record．
Or：She set the women's record for a ten-mile marathon swimming．
59．Why did Nyad believe that she had touched the other shore？（No more than 10 words）Because she had tried her best（to fulfill the task）．
Or：Her strength of purpose was as important as reaching Cuba．
60．Please explain how you are inspired by Nyad．（No more than 20 words）I learned that once we set a goal，we should try hard to achieve it．
Or：We should never stop trying new things and we may achieve success in different fields．．

17．Henrietta Lacks was born in 1920 in Virginia and raised on a tobacco farm．She married her first cousin，David Day and later settled near Baltimore in Turner Station where Day worked at a steel mill．After giving birth to her fifth child，she was diagnosed with cervical cancer．She was treated at Johns Hopkins，the only hospital within twenty miles that treated black patients and had been established as a charity hospital．
    In an attempt to grow everlasting cells，Dr．George Gey took samples of all women who came to Hopkins with cervical cancer．After taking a biopsy （活检） of Henrietta's cervical cancer，researcher Dr．George Gey discovered that unlike any cells they had seen before，Henrietta's cells could not only reproduce，but thrive outside the body--a breakthrough that would change modern medicine．Actually，her cells doubled in size every 24 hours and Dr．Gey shared these cells for free with any researcher interested．Later，Dr．Stanley Gartler found that Henrietta's cells were even capable of jumping out of the petri dish（培养皿） and taking other cell types．As a result，these cells，named HeLa（for Henrietta Lacks） were essential in the research into cancer，AIDS，the effects of radiation and poisonous substances，gene mapping，and countless other scientific pursuits．And they've been used in tens of thousands of research studies．
    Ms．Lacks died not too long after her diagnosis in 1951．She unknowingly held the key to unlocking medical advancements in her tumor cells．Now，decades after Henrietta's death，her cells are still alive．For many years，her family knew nothing about the impact her cells had on medical science-she provided a crucial sample of cells that has furthered the knowledge of medical science and disease prevention．
    Now nearly 60years after her death，in May 2011，Morgan State University in Baltimore awarded her an honorary degree．

25．What is the passage mainly about？A
A．A woman's contribution to medical progress．
B．The contribution of Johns Hopkins．
C．The original research of cancer．
D．The death of a black patient．
26．Which word can describe the cells of Henrietta Lacks？C
A．Radioactive．B．Poisonous．C．Active．D．Interesting．
27．What does the underlined word"thrive"mean probably？B
A．Die．B．Grow．C．Break．D．Change．
