Dr. Ellen Bronson of the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore alw ays w anted to w ork w ith animals. Unlike many animal-loving little girls, though, her first idea w as to be a naturalist. If a naturalist is someone w ho sits in the w oods and observes an imals and takes notes, then that’s exactly w hat she w as doing at the time. Dr. Bronson grew up “in the middle of now here”, and her parents didn’t let her w atch TV. “So I spent a lot of time hanging out in the w oods because there w as not a lot to do otherw ise,” she says. “I had a funny notebook that my parents still have, w here each page is about a certain animal.”
When she got a little older, being an animal doctor seemed like a better choice than w orking w ith animals in the forest, and the success in giving medical help to them satisfied her hugely, but she says that even the cases that don’t w ork out as w ell can be meaningful. “You also have the failures, w hich are hard at the time, but they help not just you but the w hole zoo learn,” She says.
And, of course, another advantage of the job is getting to w ork w ith really cool animals. “I really like the animals that feed on meat — they’re very tough, and you can get them through hard times,” she says.
Finally, another advantage of her job is how often she gets to w ork w ith an animal over its life. “We’re there doing medical examination w hen they’re born, w e w atch them grow up,” she says. “And w e w atch them as they age. We help them age peacefully and help them be pain-free, and then w e’re also there w hen they die. That is something very special.” 25. What can w e learn from the second paragraph?
A. Giving animals medical help is alw ays Ellen’s dream. B. Even failures can also mean something to Ellen. C. Failures in w ork are hard for Ellen to accept.
D. Observing animals gives Ellen greater satisfaction. 26. In her w ork w ith animals, she can .
A. earn fame and respect from her w ork. B. realize her dream of becoming a naturalist. C. take care of many animals from birth to death. D. keep all the animals in peace and free from pain. 27. Which of the follow ing best describes Dr. Bronson?
A. Generous. B. Well-educated. C. Grateful. D. Caring.
C
Once w hen I w as facing a decision that involved high risk, I w ent to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then w rote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave – and mighty (强大的) forces w ill come to your aid.
Those w ords made me see clearly that w hen I had fallen short in the past, it w as seldom because I had tried and failed. It w as usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, w henever I had plunged into deep w ater, forced by courage or circumstance, I had alw ays been able to sw im until I got my feet on the ground again.
Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you c an eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential pow ers w e possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas – even physical strength
greater than most of us realize.
Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, w as an excellent football player, even though he w eighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, w ho had nothing but me betw een him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I w as so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet ( 子弹) – and stopped him cold.” Boldness – a w illingness to extend yourself to the extreme – is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there w ill be setbacks ( 挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person w ho tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person w ho tries to do nothing and succeeds.
So, alw ays try to live a little bit beyond your abilities – and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed. 28. Why w as the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past? A. He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces. C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his w ay to success. 29. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part? A. Sw allow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities. C. Develop more mysterious pow ers. D. Learn to make creative decisions. 30. What w as especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game? A. His physical strength. B. His basic skill. C. His real fear. D. His spiritual force. 31. What is the author ’s purpose in w riting this passage? A. To encourage people to be courageous.
B. To advise people to build up physical pow er. C. To tell people the w ays to guarantee success. D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.

The days of having to carry a phone charger everyw here could soon be over. Michigan researchers have revealed a major breakthrough in harvesting energy from human motion. They say it could lead to smartphones pow ered for a w eek by the motion of a sw ipe (重击).
Michigan State University’s low -cost devic e, know n as a nanogenerator, has already been tested. Scientists success fully operated an LCD touch screen, a bank of 20 LED lights and a flexible keyboard, all w ith a simple touching or pressing motion and w ithout the aid of a battery. The groundbreaking findings, published in the journal Nano Energy, suggest “We’re on the path tow ard w earable devices pow ered by human motion,” said Nelson Sepulveda, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and lead researcher of the project.
“What I foresee, relatively soon, is the capability of not having to charge your cell phone for an entire w eek, for example, because that energy w ill be produced by your movement,” said Sepulveda, w hose research is funded by the National Science Foundation.
Electrical energy is created w hen the device is compressed by human motion. The com pleted device is as thin as a sheet of paper. The device used to pow er the LED lights w as palm-sized, w hile the device used to pow er the touch screen w as as small as a finger. Advantages such as being lightw eight, flexible and low -cost could make it a promising and alternative method in the field of Mechanical-energy harvesting.
The device also becomes more pow erful w hen folded. Sepulveda said, “You can start w ith a large device, but w hen you fold it once, and again, and again, it’s much smaller and has mor e energy. Now it may be small enough to put in a specially made heel of your shoe so it creates pow er each time your heel strikes the ground.”
Sepulveda and his team are also developing technology that w ould transmit the pow er generated by the heel strike to, say, a w ireless headset.
32. The underlined w ord “device” in the second paragraph probably refers to . A. a piece of equipment B. a special kind of smartphone C. a touch screen D. a flexible keyboard
33. What can w e learn about Nelson Sepulveda in the passage? A. He w orks as a journalist w riting for Nano Energy.
B. He plays a major role in the project of the nanogenerator. C. He invented a type of battery-free smartphone.
D. He collects funds for the National Science Foundation. 34. From the passage w e know that the nanogenerator A. becomes more pow erful w hen kept flat B. has already come into market in the USA C. is lightw eight and flexible though expensive D. makes it possible to produce pow er by w alking 35. The purpose of the passage is to . A. persuade people to buy the device B. bring in a new w ay to save energy C. introduce a breakthrough in science

Every year over 2,500 people die and 12,600 61 (injure) in home fires in America. Every day, Americans experience the great fear of fire. 62 most of them don’t understand fire.
To protect 63 (you), it is important to learn the basic characteristic of fire. In less than 30 seconds, a small flame can get 64 (complete) out of control and turn into a major fire. Most deadly fires occur in the home w hen people are asleep. If you w ake up to a fire, the fire spreads too quickly and the smoke is too thick, maybe there is just little time 65 (escape). Heat is more 66 (threaten) than flames. In five minutes, a room can get so hot 67 everything in it
starts to burn at once. Fire starts bright, but quickly produces black smoke and complete darkness. If you w ake up to a fire, you may be blinded and confused about w here you are or w hich 68 (direct) you should go. You are even unable to find your w ay around the home you 69 (live) in for ages. Fire produces smoke and poisonous gases. Breathing even small amounts of smoke and toxic gases can make you tired, sleepy and short of breath. As 70 result, you may not w ake up in time to escape.
