The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological
disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries
might learn from its mistakes.
第5页 | 共12页For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western
civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the
Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first.
The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements
destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started,
which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
[来源:Zxxk.Com]
Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate
(磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a
very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines,
it removes the top layer of soil. T hen it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally
destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government
received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In
addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they
had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was
destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would
take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably
never happen.
60. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
第6页 | 共12页B. The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.
C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans
D. The phosphate mines were destroyed

One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its
most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor
for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would
include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of
the word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used.
This was a huge task. So Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and
the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English.
Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American
Surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as
“Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,”” 50 miles from Oxford.
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next
years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.
But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit
Oxford. So in 1897， Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived,
he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally insane.
Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing
to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit
Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.
In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port
to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was
completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions
from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.
61. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary _________.
A. came out before minor died
B. was edited by an American volunteer
C. included the English words invented by Murray
D. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary
62. How did Dr. Minor contributed to the dictionary?
A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers.
B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray.
C. He provided a great number of words and quotations
D. he went to England to work with Murray.

San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel
bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark.
The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give
squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.
The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds.
Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office
building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others
who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.
One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that day’s coffee break
discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge
idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会).The Council
approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge “Nutty Narrows.”
After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started Construction, They
built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose(消防水带). It cost 1,000.
It didn’t take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even
seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and
Nutty Narrows became know in newspapers all over the world.
In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made and
crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal
lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.
Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in
第8页 | 共12页memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.

For those who are tired doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine
that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application).
Strange though it may seem — “my wife already does that” was a common response among
attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)
this week — Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install (安装) a large
number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them “smart”.
Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it’s Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines
and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.
The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a
downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be
turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus.
Samsung says it’s not just something new — the app connection actually has some practical
uses.
“If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your
phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed and
第9页 | 共12页ready to go,” said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.
The company also says that with electricity rate(电价)varying depending on the time of day,
more control over when the machines are used can help save money.

Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do
—enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will
instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.

[1] Ashley Power’s mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was
thirteen, she was surfing the Internet regularly, but she couldn’t find anywhere for teenagers to
meet and talk. And one day she thought, “If I had my own website, I’d make it a really interesting
site for teenagers.”
[2]So, when Ashley was sixteen, she launched her own website, called Goosehead. She had
no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen
第10页 | 共12页site in the USA! It was getting 100,000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.
[3] After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lives in Los Angeles, was
asked to write a book called The Goosehead Guide to Life. The book is about how to design a
website and start a business. It begins with a section called “All About Ashley,” where Ashley
tells readers what it is like to be the boss of a company when you are only sixteen. “ I was so
happy. But it was crazy in a lot of ways. I got very stressed. I mean, I was only sixteen — I didn’t
even have a car! If you were sixteen and you had your own company, you’d be stressed, too！“
[4] In an interview Ashley gave advice to teenagers who wanted to start their own business,
“Just be strong and have your dreams and work hard at them. And don’t listen when _______,
because I heard ‘no’ a lot. Just keep going until you hear ‘yes’!”
