It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the waterline. The Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village, to a height of one hundred and fifty meters. A simple, good-hearted old man, whose name was Jalpur, farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills. From his fields he could see the fishing boats that traveled up and down the coast. He could see the children playing on ‎ the sands; their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva River flowed into the sea; and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end.‎ All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and day out, the terrible hut that he slept in at night, a few tools and cooking pots – and his fields. The corn that he grew was all that made life possible. If the weather was kind and the harvest was good, Jalpur could live happily enough – not well,‎ but happily. When the sun was fierce, and there was little rain or no rain ,then he came close to the line ‎ between life and death. ‎ ‎   Last year the weather had been so kind, and the harvest promised to be so good, that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast.He had been ‎ thinking about doing this for some years. It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and hiswife. But he would go only if he could give; he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren. He would rather die hungry than do this.‎ On the day when Jalpur decided that he would harvest his corn, sell it, and move up the coast, he lookedout to the sea and saw a huge wave, several kilometers out, advancing on the coast and on the village of ‎ Shundagarh. Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned. Jalpur would have shouted, ‎ but the people were too far away to hear. He would have run down the hill, but he was too old to run. He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh, so he did the only thing that he could do:‎ he set fire to his corn. In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and smoke was rising higher. ‎ Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened. There, in the middle of his blackened cornfield, they found Jalpur; and there they buried him.‎ On his grave, they wrote the words: Here lies Jalpur, a man who gave, living; a man who died, giving.‎ ‎21. Which of the following could Jalpur NOT see from his fields?‎ A. Fathers taking their corn to market. B Mothers washing clothes.‎ C. Fishing boats traveling on the sea. D. Children playing on the sands.‎ ‎22. Why didn’t Jalpur live well?‎ A. He didn’t work hard. B. He only depended on good weather and harvest for survival.‎ C. The villagers kept taking his corn. D. He had too many children to feed.‎ ‎23. What did Jalpur do when he saw the huge wave?‎ A. He ran down the hill to tell the people.‎ B. He screamed loudly to get the villagers’ attention.‎ C. He set his corn on fire so the people of Shundagarh would leave the beach.‎ D. He stood still, not knowing what to do.‎ ‎24. The villagers were thankful to Jalpur because he had   ___   .‎ A. given them his corn in order to save them from hunger B. saved their village from being drowned by the wave C. given them many things during his life D. given his life in order to save theirs B Chester City Library offers a range of Library Special Needs Services to people who don’t have access to our library service in the usual way.

But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?‎ Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.‎ ‎28.

The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica,Mexico. These ancient life ‎ forms can be seen only with a microscope. Penelope Boston,who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA,the space agency of the United States,says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating ‎ minerals such as iron.‎ She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. If the findings are confirmed,they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions.‎ Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area.The genetic ‎ structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives. The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners ‎ began working in the caves,the area was separated from the surface and the outside world. Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe's Middle Ages. There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The ‎ clothing  keeps the crystals safe from human germs(病菌)or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.‎ ‎  NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last week's ‎ Announcement, So scientists could not say much about the findings.But Norine Noonan,a biologist with the University of South Florida,said she believed them."Why are we surprised?"Noonan asked."As a biologist,I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful." Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries, such as Ukraine and the United States.These microbes appear to be impossible to kill.Boston said they show how difficult ‎ life on Earth can be. 32. The existence of the ancient microbes relies on_____. A. surrounding insects B. diverse plants C. eating minerals D. absorbing air 33. What can we infer about the caves in Naica from the passage? A. The temperature in the caves is quite low. B. The caves have been explored since they were formed. C. The walls are covered by crystals. D. The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to. 34. What is the biologist Norine Noonan's attitude towards the findings? A. Neutral. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 35. What's the main idea of the passage? A. Living organisms bring hope to scientific research. B. Scientists Discover 50,000-year-old"super life" in Mexico. C. Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions. D. Caves provide living environment for living organisms.‎ 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,选项中有两项为多余项。‎ If you are interested in studying at an American university, you have to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language. 36 It is the most widely used language exam for American universities.‎ There are two major kinds of the TOEFL test. The first is the IBT, or Internet-based Test. It is offered ‎ in most of the world and accepted by nearly every university and scholarship program in the United States. _37  The PBT is less costly to take and does not require use of the Internet.
