In our family, the presents we gave one another were almost always homemade. I thought that was the
definition of a gift: something you made for someone else. We made all our Christmas gifts: piggy banks from old
bottles, and puppets from retired socks. It didn’t seem like a hardship to me; it was something special.
My father loves wild strawberries, so for Father’s Day my mother would almost always make him strawberry
cakes. While we kids were responsible for the berries, we each got an old jar and spent the Saturday before the
celebration in the fields, filling it as more ended up in our mouths. Finally, we returned home and poured them out
on the kitchen table to sort out the bugs. I’m sure we missed some, but Dad never mentioned the extra protein.
In fact, he thought that was the best possible present, or so he had us convinced. It was a gift that could neverbe bought. As children raised by strawberries, we were probably unaware that the gift of berries was from the fields
themselves, not from us. Our gift was time, attention, care and “red” fingers.
Gifts from the earth or from each other establish a particular relationship, a duty of sorts to give, to receive,
and to exchange. The field gave to us, we gave to my dad, and we tried to give back to the strawberries. When the
berry season was done, the plants would send out its red runners to make new plants. So I would weed out little
fields of ground where the runners touched down. Sure enough, tiny little roots would emerge from the runner and
by the end of the season there were even more plants, ready to bloom under the next strawberry season. No person
taught us this—the strawberries showed us. Because they had given us a gift, an ongoing relationship opened
between us.
（ ）24．In the author’s opinion, a gift should be ______.
A．practical and interesting B．luxurious and special
C．purchased from a store D．made with personal effort
（ ）25．What did the children do for Father’s Day?
A．Making strawberry cakes. B．Finding the biggest strawberries.
C．Going strawberry picking. D．Baking fruit cookies.
（ ）26．What would the author do to give back to the strawberries?
A．Making homemade gifts for her father. B．Devoting time and attention to her family.
C．Waiting for the strawberries to get ripe again. D．Searching for fields for the plants to take roots.
（ ）27．What did the family learn from strawberries?
A．How to cook with strawberries. B．The importance of giving and receiving.
C．How to make all kinds of gifts. D．The procedure of growing strawberries.
C
“By removing needless details in pursuit of perfection, Van Den followed in the footsteps of many great
artists, writers, composers, and painters.”
Juhani Murros made an unexpected discovery during his visits to art galleries when he worked for an
organization in Ho Chi Minh City in 1990. A small still life in an unnoticeable gallery commanded the Finnish
physician’s attention. “It was not an eye-catching oil painting, yet its dark, mysterious colors and the emotional
tension of its disciplined composition set it apart.” Thus began a long journey of discovering the art and life of Van
Den, a Buddhist of mixed Chinese and Vietnamese ancestry who studied in Paris for less than two years during the
first French Indochina War.
Murros’ biography is, by necessity, brief because there is limited knowledge of the artist, mostly in oral way
by family and friends. Many of his paintings did not survive the damp Southeast Asian climate nor the political
chaos of his lifetime. However, the author’s research appears to be extensive, as much a years-long spiritual
examination of Van Den as a historical one. The artist’s love for country life is apparent in his work, and it is said
by those who knew him that he preferred to paint countryside scenes close to his heart and worked as an outsider.
He is uninterested in the more elegant work of academically recognized painters. Despite these limitations, Van
Den won Vietnam’s most honorable art award in 1960.
Murros gives an in-depth look into the life of this obscure master. The book introduces the readers to Van
Den’s art with photographs of his paintings, accompanied by short stories behind them. The book is as quiet as theartist’s work, but it is a satisfying read. Each stroke of words in the book connects to the readers; the narrative
awakens the artistic spirit in each one of us, encouraging us to follow our heart.
（ ）28．What first impressed Juhani Murros?
A．Van Den’s life story. B．Van Den’s painting style.
C．Van Den’s birth place. D．Van Den’s emotional stale.
（ ）29．What can we learn about Van Den?
A．His works are rarely available today. B．He showed great love for his country.
C．His works were of mysterious themes. D．He ever travelled in China and Vietnam.
（ ）30．What does the underlined word “obscure” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Famous. B．Obvious. C．Little-known. D．Shallow.
（ ）31．In which column of a newspaper can we read the passage?
A．Geography. B．Science. C．Health. D．Art.
D
As the Earth turns, its rotational axis (自转轴) naturally move a bit. Anything from ocean currents, to shifting
molten rock under the crust, to the melting of glaciers caused by climate change can cause the axis to drift (飘移).
Water stored in artificial lakes and season al changes in atmospheric winds can play a role as well.
But global warming isn’t the only human-caused factor moving the planet’s axis as some of us believe. A new
study estimates that between 1993 and 2010, the pumping of groundwater and the resulting sea-level rise caused the
axis to drift by about 2.6 feet. “Every mass moving around on the surface of the Earth can change the rotational
axis,” said Ki-Weon Seo, a geophysicist at Seoul National University.
In the study, the researchers used a computer model to look at the effects of different factors on the shift of the
axis. When they didn’t include groundwater removal in their model, their predictions did not match the level of
shift that scientists have observed. But when they look into account the massive amount of pumped water—which
totaled more than two trillion tons between 1993 and 2010— their model fit the real-world observations. From this
analysis, the researchers estimate that the axis is moving 1.7 inches per year due to groundwater removal. Of the
factors the study looked at, pumping groundwater was the second-largest contributor to the axis drifting, behind the
melting Greenland ice sheet.
The paper calls attention to just how much water humans have pumped, as Clark Wilson, a geoscientist at the
University of Texas, tells Science. “The precise number doesn’t matter really. What matters is that the volume is
so huge that it can impact the polar drift of the Earth,” he says. “Groundwater removed from sites at the Earth’s
midlatitudes (中纬度), such as in the U. S. and India, has a large impact on polar drift, compared with extraction at
the equator or the poles. However, most of the pumping has occurred in these high-impact zones, causing the water
removal to have a bigger effect on the axis,” says Wilson.
（ ）32．What does the author aim to do with the second paragraph?
A．To correct a wrong belief. B．To raise a question.
C．To introduce a scientist. D．To test a new theory.
（ ）33．The researchers used the computer model in their research mainly by ______.
A．putting it to field tests B．storing related information in it
C．comparing it with real-world facts D．doing real-world observations with it（ ）34．Which factor has contributed the most to the axis drift?
A．The atmospheric winds. B．The melting of ice sheet.
C．The artificial lakes. D．The groundwater pumping.
（ ）35．What could be a suitable title for the text?
A．Factors that Affect the Earth’s Rotation B．Challenges of Groundwater Our World Faces
C．Climate Change Has Shifted the Earth’s Axis D．Groundwater Pumping Has Changed the Earth’s Axis

参考范文：
A Cool Try!
Last summer vacation, to gain different life experience, I was accompanied by my parents to give Bungee
Jumping a first try.
Before the jump, professional instructors provided a detailed safety briefing, explaining the equipment, the
jump procedures, and what to expect during the fall and rebound. Then I was fitted with a harness, which was
attached to the rubber cord. As the moment of truth arrived, I stood on the edge of the jumping platform, heart
pounding and legs trembling. Eyes closed, I took the leap, with a mixed sensation of excitement, terror and
weightlessness.
The whole experience was over in a matter of seconds, but the memory of the thrill and the sense of
achievement last a lifetime, giving me confidence to face new challenges and embrace adventure.

M: Good morning everyone and welcome to your first day at Kingsville Electronics. My name is Eric and I am
the sales manager of the South New York region. Let me start off by saying how happy I’m to have you as a part of
the Kingsville Electronics sales team. I’m thrilled to have such a talented group of new employees in our sales
force. Since you’ve already received your company handbooks, we will start up today by reviewing some of the
most important department procedures and policies. We will have a short break at noon and then in the afternoon,
you will meet some of the senior sales representatives and other colleagues you’ll work with. Oh, there is an error
in your printed schedule. There will be a change, a switch, in times for the last two sessions. Some of the senior
sales agents won’t be here until 3: 00 p. m. so we’ll postpone it a little bit. Our team has continuously topped the
sales record of the national average and we hope you could do the same excellent job in the future.
