People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months. Squirrels (松鼠), for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.‎ They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut (黑胡桃) trees. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.‎ Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University‎ of ‎New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to ‎ develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”.‎ Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.‎ The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.‎ ‎21.The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.‎ A. find out the living conditions for squirrels B. learn squirrels’ influence on black walnut trees C. do something to get rid of squirrels D. save the forests in the American state of ‎Indiana ‎22.The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in ________.‎ A. the way they gather the walnut B. the time they have winter sleep C. the place they have winter sleep D. the place they store the walnuts ‎23.When Professor Swihart says “death traps for seeds”, he actually means that ________.‎ A. red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrels B. gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fights C. nuts above the ground will not develop into plants D. seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest ‎24.According to the passage, which of the following is true?‎ A. The black walnut is equally attractive to both gray and red squirrels.‎ B. Gray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.‎ C. Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.‎ D. The cleaning of forest land benefits red squirrels directly.‎ B When Joshua Blue, a head teacher at the Kennedy, hosts a lecture for his students, he wears a light violet-colored tie. "You don't want so many bright colors that the kids will get distracted," said Blue. Colors give off very specific signals, and different tie colors stand for very different impacts. Wondering what color tie to wear to your next meeting? Here's how to choose the perfect color tie for every occasion:‎ All powerful reds It's not a coincidence（巧合）that many politicians wear red-colored ties with light shirts and darker suits. "Red is the powerful color," said Mark Woodman, a trend analyst who studies color in Laurel‎, ‎Maryland. "There’s something about red that always comes back to strength and passion.” But the tone of your reds matters, too. Darker reds can help build trust, while lighter red and pink ties can be more of a statement about your personal style and be associated with creativity. When you want to convey a sense of ambition, consider a shiny red.‎ Royal purples Ross Znavor, an executive in financial services in New York, wears purple ties rather than red to business meetings because the color shows a bit of self-confidence and helps him create lasting first impressions. Purple, traditionally a sign of royalty and wealth is becoming more acceptable in the workplace.‎ Black affairs ‎"While you might not wear them to meetings on a regular basis, wearing black ties to a cocktail party or even a dinner is unique and attractive," said Zyla. But remember: the formal black color can feel aggressive in many situations. "Avoid it if you are a green-hand at work," Zyla said.‎ Right blues Afraid of sending the wrong message with your tie color? Consider blue as the all-purpose tie. Blue ties are a good investment because the color reminds people of the sky and ocean. "Blue is the safest color to wear," Lindsay said.‎ ‎25.Why do many politicians prefer red-colored ties?‎ A. Because they often wear light shirts and darker suits.‎ B. Because they want to get promoted.‎ C. Because red is related to strength and passion.‎ D. Because red gets their message across easily.‎ ‎26.Who will probably choose the purple ties?‎ A. Politicians. B. Businessmen.‎ C. Artists. D. Head teachers.‎ ‎27.What color tie will you consider if you are a green-hand at work?‎ A. Red. B. Purple.‎ C. Black. D. Blue.‎ C Mrs. Obama spoke to the graduates of Martin‎ Luther King Jr.‎ ‎High School on Saturday in her only high school commencement (毕业典礼) speech this year. The ceremony took place in the gymnasium of Tennessee‎ State ‎University.‎ The first lady told the 170 graduates that she spent too much of her time in college focusing on academic achievements. While her success in college and law school led to a highprofile job, she said, she ended up leaving to focus on public service. “My message to you today is that don't waste a minute living someone else's dream,” she said. “It takes lots of real work to discover what brings you joy and you won't find what you love simply by checking mailboxes or surfing the Internet.”‎ She said MLK reminded her of her own high school experience in Chicago.“My No.1 goal was to go to a high school that would push me and challenge me,” she said. “I wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievements.” “Unfortunately, schools like this don't exist for every kid,” she said. “You are blessed.”‎ The first lady told the graduates that failure may be a part of their college careers, and that how they respond to difficulties determines what they will become. “That's when you find out what you're really made of in those hard times,” she said. “But you can only do that if you're willing to put yourself in a position where you might fail. Overcoming difficulties has been a mark of many great people,” she said. “Oprah Winfrey was demoted(降职) from her first job as a news reporter, and now she doesn't even need a last name,” she said of media giant Oprah Winfrey. “And then there's this ‎ guy Barack Obama. I could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures. He lost his first race for Congress,” the first lady joked, “and now he gets to call himself my husband.”‎ ‎28.When choosing her high school, Mrs Obama .‎ A. wanted to study law B. was pushed to make a choice C. failed to find an ideal school D. was willing to meet challenges ‎29.By mentioning Oprah's example, Mrs Obama wanted to tell the graduates .‎ A. to be brave enough to risk failing B. to work hard to get promoted C. to start as a news reporter D. not to waste time doing what they dislike ‎30.Where can you probably find this text?‎ A. In a news report.‎ B. In a politics book.‎ C. In a graduation paper.‎ D. On Mrs Obama's blog.‎ ‎31.What do we know about Mrs Obama from the text?‎ A. She is a graduate of Tennessee‎ State ‎University.‎ B. This is the first time she has given a speech to graduates.‎ C. She complained about her school life in her speech.‎ D. She is enthusiastic about public service.‎ D The Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands and mountains, stretching about 6,700 kilometers from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2,000 years, some parts of the Great Wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared. However, it is still ‎ one of the most appealing attractions around the world.‎ No one can tell for sure when the building of the Great Wall was started, but it is popularly believed that it originated as a military fortification(要塞) against intrusion by tribes on the borders during the earlier Zhou Dynasty. Late in the Spring and Autumn Period, some states extended the defence work to prevent the attacks from other states.‎ It was not until the Qin Dynasty that the separate walls were connected to form a defensive system by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. After the emperor unified the country in 214 BC, he ordered the construction of the wall. It took about ten years to finish and the wall stretched from Gansu Province to Jilin‎ ‎Province. The wall not only served as a defence in the north but also symbolized the power of the emperor.‎ Further construction also experienced several dynasties. The present Great Wall in Beijing is mainly remains from the Ming Dynasty. Today, the Great Wall has become a must-see for every visitor to China. Few can help saying “Wow” when they stand on top of a beacon tower and look at this giant dragon. It has become a national pride of Chinese people.‎ ‎32.The underlined word “appealing” probably means “______”.‎ A. huge B. attractive C. ordinary D. moving ‎33.In the Qin Dynasty, ______.‎ A. the construction of the Great Wall was finished in 204 BC B. the emperor wanted to invade other minor states C. the defensive system of the Great Wall was separated D. the Great Wall began its way from ‎Jilin‎ ‎Province ‎34.According to the passage, the Great Wall _______.‎ A. is from the west to the east B. is as long as 6,700 miles C. was built in several dynasties D. was begun in the Qin Dynasties ‎35.The best title for the passage probably is _______.‎ A. History of the Great Wall B. Culture of the Great Wall C. Construction of the Great Wall D. Projection of the Great Wall 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选项。‎ No matter what problem we’re facing, we always find solutions. 36.
