Today, we study literature from a young age—learning about our histories, faraway worlds and influential people. Whether we notice or not, these stories—both fiction and non-fiction—guide us throughout our lives. They allow us to see the world through another’s eyes, open up our world and teach us about every subject known to man.
Despite their importance, many people throw out their old books—laying waste the wisdom that lies on each page. In an effort to save this knowledge and share it with those less fortunate, a garbage man in, Bogota, Colombia has been saving thrown-away books for 20 years and sharing them with those in need.
“I hated to see all the books in the dustbins of wealthier neighborhoods. So I started to rescue them,’’ said Gutierrez. The first book he found was a copy of the classic novel Anna Karenina. The Tolstoy book was later joined by The Little Prince, Sophie's World, The Iliad and a number of novels. Today, he has collected around 25,000 books.
His growing collection didn’t go unnoticed.Gutierrez’s neighbors were soon borrowing the books to help with their children’s homework. “There was a lack of them in our neighborhood, so we
started to help,”said Gutierrez.
The ground floor of Gutierrez’s home is now filled with books, from floor to ceiling. Over spilling with books, he opened it up as a free library, with the help of his wife Luz Gutierrez and their three children.
Word eventually spread around about Gutierrez and his books. Most of the books now come from donations. He now travels around the country, delivering free books to poor and remote districts. The library, named “The Strength of Words", has donated books to some 235 schools, institutions and community libraries across Colombia.
4. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By stating some facts.
B. By contradicting a theory.
C. By describing a scene.
D. By referring to documents.
5. What did the Tolstoy book mean to Gutierrez?
A. A heavy financial burden.
B. A companion in difficult times.
C. The beginning of his charity campaign.
D. One of his greatest achievements in life.
6. Which saying does Gutierrez's story lead us to believe?
A. A good book is a light to the soul.
B. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. One man's garbage is another man' s treasure.
7. What's the best title for the text?
A. Tolstoy books recovered from dustbins.
B. Literature now appeals to garbage collectors.
C. Free libraries popular with neighborhood kids.
D. Garbage man builds a library from rescued books.
C
They' re not the world' s tallest or longest bridges, but a string of river crossings made from tree roots are engineering wonders that contain lessons for modem architects.
The town of Cherrapunji in the Khasi Hills is credited with the world record for annual rainfall of over 75 feet! And in this rainy, wet climate, the rubber fig tree grows with abandon. The tree has a secondary root system that grows up above the ground floor and lets the tree easily grow on top of big stones and even out in the middle of streams. Long ago, the Khasis, a tribe in Meghalaya region, realized they could make use of these roots to their own advantage. By controlling and directing the secondary roots, they have created strong living bridges with which to cross streams and rivers by themselves.
To make a tree grow in a certain direction, the tribespeople use the trunks of a betel nut tree whose middle is got rid of, as a guidance system. The thin, tender roots of the rubber tree are placed so they grow in the direction of the tree trunk rather than fanning out. Eventually, the roots reach the other side of the river and grow into the soil. This process can take well over a decade before the bridge is fully functional and then over time the bridge grows and strengthens. Rocks are placed along the bridge' s sides to improve the footpaths.
Some of these bridges are over 100 feet long and can even support the weight of fifty or-more people at a time. These bridges are used daily by the people of the villages around Cherrapunji and a few are thought to be more than 500 years old. There is even a double decker bridge , known as the “Umshiang Double-Decker Root Bridge", which features two bridges grown right on top of each other. It is thought to be the only bridge of its kind.
8. What do we know about the bridges in Meghalaya?
A. They resemble the fig tree roots.
B. They're works of modern architects.
C. They take a very short time to build.
D. They're constructed by the villagers.
9. How is a betel nut tree used in building the bridges?
A. It plays the role of a guide.
B. It bears the weight of the bridge.
C. It protects the surface of the bridge.
D. It delivers materials across the river.
10. What does the third paragraph mainly describe?
A. A complex system.
B. A construction process.
C. A scientific theory.
D. A natural landscape.
11. What makes the “Umshiang Double-Decker Root Bridge” unusual?
A. Its history.
B. Its material.
C. Its shape.
D. Its length.
D
To look inside an ant nest is to meet with an alien civilization. The boiling mass of worker ants beneath an upturned stone is both strangely reminiscent of (联想到) human society and strikingly different. There is an organization that fascinates us and a long line of myrmecophiles (or ant lovers) leads back all the way to King Solomon, who in fact advised people to “go to the ant, consider her ways and be wise”. This was exactly the inspiration behind Planet Ant, a TV program showcasing what we know about the kingdom of ants, and what ants can teach us about the human world.
Like us, ants build structures, find food, defend their societies and manage waste, and-also like us-they must be well organized. For example, the leaf-cutting ants of Planet Ant have special waste disposal areas for storing harmful waste and a team of “waste-disposal ants” dedicated to keeping the nest clean. But ants achieve this familiar final result in a very different way to humans. Human societies have centralized control. In other words, someone tells us what to do. Ants, on the other
hand, have decentralized control and neither the queen nor any other ant directs work. Ant workers are the final self-starters, following specific, but potentially flexible, rules in certain situations.
Chemical trails underpin much of this self-organization. Foragers (觅食者) lay a mix of chemicals known as trail pheromone (信息素) behind them as they walk. Other ants follow the trail and if they find food they reinforce it, laying more pheromone as they return to the nest. Stronger trails are more likely to be followed, so trails leading to food become progressively reinforced, while trails with no food at the end fade away.
This combination of positive feedback and evaporation (蒸发) produces an effective foraging system that is very good at finding the quickest routes to food. This simple guiding principle, and others like it, have provided some useful solutions to the complex problems faced by engineers, computer scientists and businesses.
12. Why does the author mention King Solomon in the first paragraph?
A. To provide a background.
B. To show admiration for him.
C. To stress the wisdom of ants.
D. To explain an abstract theory.
13. How do ants behave while performing tasks?
A. They get orders from their partners.
B. They choose to do only routine tasks.
C. They strictly fol low the queen’s orders.
D. They follow their own senses and certain rules.
14. What does the underlined word “underpin” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Decide.
B. Support.
C. Develop.
D. Calculate.
15. What information can we get about trail pheromone from the text?
A. It comes from the food resources.
B. It appears before ants’
self-organization.
C. It leads the following ants to food.
D. It helps ants find their way back home.
