She preferred to take winding country roads to her grandmother ’shospital. When she drove through the rocky town of Harpers Ferry, the beauty of the rough waters was always appealing to her.Toward the end of her journey, Mary had to get on highway 81. It was here that she discovered a surprising bit of beauty during one of her trips. Along the shoulder of the highway, there was a long stretch of wild flowers. They were thin and delicate and purple, and movedback and forth in the wind as if whispering poems to each other.The first time she saw the flowers, Mary was seized by an uncontrollable urge to pull overon the highway and pull a bunch from the soil. She carried them into her grandmother’sroom when she arrived at the hospital and placed them in a vase by her bed.For a moment her grandmother seemed more lucid （清醒的） than usual. She thanked Mary for the flowers, commented on their beauty and asked where she had gotten them. Mary was overjoyed by the ability of the flowers to wake something up inside her sick grandmother.Afterwards, Mary began carrying scissors in the car during her trips to visit her grandmother. She would quickly glide onto the shoulder, jump out of the car, and clip a bunch of flowers. Each time Mary placed the flowers in the vase, her grandmother ’seyes would light up and they would have a splendid conversation.One morning in late October, Mary got a call that her grandmother had taken a turn for the worse. Mary was in such a hurry to get to her grandmother that she sped past her flower spot.She decided to turn around, head several miles back, and cut a bunch.Mary arrived at the hospital to find her grandmother very weak and unresponsive. She placed the flowers in the vase and sat down to hold her grandmother ’shand. She felt a squeeze on her fingers. It was the last conversation they had.24.

In this cold and deserted environment, no grains, no gardens, no trees can grow. Yet at the end of a130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with humanity ’smost precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collection more than a half-billion seeds.A quiet rescue mission is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked climate change will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity of crops around the world, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties. This is a seed collection, but more importantly, it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds: the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot, dry weather.Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault. In sealed boxes, behind multiple locked doors, monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in below- zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protectedin their mountain fortress. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of retaining their ability to grow for thousands of years.Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea, and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved and funded it. But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy, impractical, and expensive idea.We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired, fed up, and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change. If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost, this would repay our efforts.The Seed Vault is about hope and commitment —about what can be done if countries come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant, long-lasting, and worthy of who we are and wish to be.28. What is the Seed Vault according to the passageA. It’sa tunnel where the collected seeds are displayed.B. It’sa stone room that contains the seeds of endangered crops.C. It’sa seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agriculture.D. It’s a lab where researchers study how to maintain the diversity of crops.29. What does the underlined word “v iable”in Paragraph 3 probably meansA. Mature.B. Alive.C. Clean.D. Valuable.30. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tells usA. How the seeds are preserved.B. Where people keep the seeds.C. Why the seeds are protected.D. What people do to study the seeds.31. We can know from the passage that _.A. the Seed Vault offers a solution to climate changeB. most countries took part in rescuing the seed varietiesC. the Seed Vault guarantees to prevent the loss of crop diversityD. many people originally considered building the Seed V ault unwiseDWhat kind of amusing activities will you participate in during your life Will you be spendingyour free time doing safe sports with little danger or will you always be one of the first peopleto try the next popular extreme activity Scientists have been interested in finding out why some people seem to prefer dangerous activities.Researchers have found that men often try to impress other people by proving that they are courageous and fearless, and they are more likely to take risks when people are watchingthem or when they are competing against other men. Research also shows that as people get older they usually behave more responsibly and try not to take unnecessary risks. In addition, when people are in stable relationships, they seem to be less attracted to daring activities.Some people seem to be more daring than others, but there are many different types. Do they take all types of risk Psychologists have identified a number of categories of risks. These include financial risks, risks related to health and safety, amusing risks and social risks.Psychologists discover that just if a person enjoys bungee jumping, it doesn ’tmean he or she will take chances when investing money or that he or she will tell a joke to a group of strangers.Interestingly, research shows that in most cases men are less cautious than women, but women take more social risks than men. Men are more likely to make career changes as they get older and to express unpopular opinions in business meetings.Yet, at the end of the day, the probability of particular people taking a risk depends on what type of people they belong to. In general, optimistic people are more likely to take risks because they focus on the possible positive outcomes of their actions. On the other hand, pessimistic people are the complete opposite.32.Why do men try to prove they are brave according to the researchA. To attract people ’s attention.B. To take on more responsibility.C. To make favorable impressions on people.D.To develop stable relationships with others.33.What does the example of bungee jumping indicateA.There are more than one type of risk.B.Bungee jumping is dangerous, but popular.C.People take one type of risk, but not another.D.Some people are more courageous than others.34.What have researchers discovered about womenA.They are willing to take risks.B.They are always changing jobs. C.They are good at doing business.D. They are usually more conservative than men.35. What mainly determine whether people take risks possiblyA. Their personalities.B. Their financial conditions.C. There social relationships.D. Their expectations of outcomes.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
