A
The Orphan（孤儿）Trains began 75 years ago. They helped thousands of children without parents or homes.
Some children were adopted by Christian families. Those who were not adopted were the official foster children.
Most Orphan Train children found good homes with loving Christian families. But a few ended up with families who used the children as servants. Anyway, if a child were being badly treated, the Orphan Trains usually found him or her a new home. They were not only provided with food and shelter but also kept away from a life of crime.
Clara and her two brothers were lucky to find good homes through the Orphan Trains. When Clara was about seven, her parents and a sister were killed when they tried to cross a river in New York State. She and her two brothers, five-year-old James and three-year-old Howard, were sent to different families in Kansas. Each child ended up with a different loving family. They were able to keep in touch with one another throughout their lives. Clara’s new mother was a school teacher. When she grew up, Clara married, moved to Texas and lived a happy life all through her life.
In an interview, the grown-up ―or phans‖ said they learned in the process of their life how important it is to be loved. They grew up to become loving, caring parents of their own children.

A.a traffic means for orphans

C. an education organization
D. an advertisement company

A teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the damaging, and often unseen, consequences of bullying. And her post about the powerful lesson has gone viral.
Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she introduced the children to two red apples. What the kids didn't know was that prior to the lesson, Dutton had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect. "I picked up the apple I'd dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple, that I thought it was disgusting, it was a horrible colour and the stem was just too short," Dutton wrote.
She then encouraged the students to do the same. Some of the children looked at her like she was ―cr azy‖, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.
Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with comments like: ―Your skin is beautiful," and "what a beautiful colour you are."
Dutton then showed the students both apples once again, highlighting that "there was no change, both apples still looked the same."
That is, until she cut them open. "The apple we'd said unkind words to was bruised and all mushy inside,"
she said. There was, she said, an immediate "light bulb" moment for her students. "They really got it. What we saw inside that apple, the bruises, the mush and the broken bits is what is happening inside every one of us when someone mistreats us with their words or actions."
Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.
―L et’s create a generation of kind caring children,‖ the teacher wrote. ―The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.‖
24.What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson?
A.She had introduced it to the kids
B.She had damaged it purposely
C.She had made it look perfect
D.She had coloured it brightly
25.What does the underlined part ―calling it names‖ (Para. 3) mean?
A.Saying rude things
B. Making fun of it
C. Cheering for it
D. Shouting at it
26.What did the teacher instruct the kids to do with the second apple?
A.Drop it
B. Praise it
C. Ignore it
D. Observe it
27.What’s the purpose of the teacher’s using two apples in class?
A.To draw the kids’ attention
B.To explain her personal preferences
C.To make a comparison between them
D.To help the kids understand the results of bullying

oseph Francis Charles Rock (1884–1962) was an Austrian-American explorer, botanist, and anthropologist(人类学家). For more than 25 years, he travelled extensively through Tibet and Yunnan, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces in China before finally leaving in 1949.
In 1924, Harvard sent Joseph Francis Rock on a treasure hunt through China’s southwestern provinces—the Wild West of their day. But gold and silver weren’t his task : Rock, a distinguished botanist, sought only to fill his bags with all the seeds, saplings, and shrubs he could find. During his three-year expedition, he collected 20,000
specimens for the Arnold Arboretum(阿诺德植物园).
Botany, though, was just one of Rock’s strengths. As an ethnologist(民族学者), he took hundreds of photographs of the Naxi, a tribe in Yunnan province, recording their now-lost way of life for both Harvard and National Geographic, and took notes for an eventual 500-page dictionary of their language. His hand-drawn map of his travels through
China’s―Cho-Ni‖ territory, in the Harvard Map Collection, includes more than a thousand rivers, towns, and mountains indicated in both English and Chinese, and was so well made that the U.S. government used it to plan aerial missions in World War II.
Scientist, linguist, cartographer, photographer, writer—Rock was not a wallflower in any sense. Arrogant and self-possessed, he would walk into a village or warlord’s place ―as if he owned the place,‖ said Lisa Pearson, the Arboretum’s head librarian.
In declaring his successful return under the headline ―Seeking Strange Flowers, in the Far Reaches of the World,‖ the Boston Evening Transcript ran a large photo of the daring explorer wearing in a woolly coat
and fox-skin hat. ―In
discussing his heroism including hair-raising escapes from death either from mountain slides, snow slides and robber armies, he waves the idea away as if it is of no importance.‖
The Arboretum and Rock parted ways after 1927, mainly because his trip cost Harvard a fortune—about $900,000 in today’s dollars. Fortunately, many of his specimens, many of his amazing photos, and his great stories remain.
28.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Rock’s service for the U.S government.
B. Rock’s cooperation with Harvard.
C. Rock’s work as a botanist.
D. Rock’s exploration in Southwest China.
29.What contribution did Rock make to the USA besides collecting new plants and specimens?
A.He traveled through some uncivilized places in China.
B.His hand-drawn map was used in WWII.
C.He showed heroism by escaping difficulties.
D.He made headlines in Boston Evening News.
30.How did Rock respond when people mentioned his heroic deeds?
A.Excitedly.
B. Proudly.
C. Calmly.
D. Nervously.
31.What caused Rock to stop work for The Arboretum?
A.The vast expense.
B. The dangerous journey.
C. The challenging tasks.

A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be ―running out of control‖. This idea is dangerous.
Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.
Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对), whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.
In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of ―c ontrolling‖science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible
huge impact(影响) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its
related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.
Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.
32.What can we conclude from the recent study?
A.People think highly of science.
B.Science is getting dangerously out of control.
C.People hold mixed opinions about science.
D.Science is used for both good and bad purposes.
33.According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?
A.The development of science will hopelessly slow down.
B.The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.
C.Businesses will have even greater influence on science.
D.People will work more actively to put science under control.
34.The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because .
A.scientists have failed to predict the outcomes
B.the ties between different areas need strengthening
C.united efforts are necessary for the development of science
D.people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science
35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Science and its applications bring us many dangers.
B.Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.
C.The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.
D.The development of science mostly lies in people's attitudes.

of his life leaping from one cash flow crisis to another , being constantly behind his suppliers’55 .
Another new book , Winston Churchill Reporting , by Simon Read , an American journalist ,
looks at one of the 56 Churchill eventually paid some of them : 57 .
Mr. Read investigates how Churchill went from a young army officer to being Britain’s
highest-earning war journalist by the age of 25 .
The Churchill name 58 helped open newspaper editors’ doors across London . But it was that the young 59 was willing to take risks on 60 across the world that marked out his columns from those of his
contemporaries .

Dear Dave,
In your last letter, you asked me about the Spring Festival. As is known to all, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country.
Usually, no matter how far away or how busy we are, we will try to come home for the celebration. On the eve of the Spring Festival, all the family members get together, making dumplings and having a feast. Children have great fun in setting off fireworks. Parents take their kids to pay a visit to relatives or friends. In addition to these traditional activities, people have a new tendency to celebrate it such as travelling and sending best wishes through Wechat.
Hopefully, you will come to China to experience it. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely, Li Hua。
