Brn in 1940 in Nyeri, Kenya, Wangari Maathai spent her childhd in the Kenyan cuntryside and her yung adult life in the United States. She studied bilgy at Munt St. Schlastica Cllege in Kansas, then gt a master’s degree frm the University f Pittsburgh. After returning t Kenya and pursuing her PhD9 (攻读博士学位) at the University f Nairbi, Wangari became the first wman in East Africa t receive a dctr’s degree.
In the 1970s, Wangari was an active member f the Natinal Cuncil f Wmen f Kenya. Wmen came t the cuncil in part t search fr slutins t the envirnmental prblems—defrestatin(滥伐森林) and desertificatin (荒漠化) had caused many f the resurces wmen relied n fr fd and clean water t decrease.
With her knwledge f bilgy and her passin fr helping thers, Wangari decided t take actin. Wangari had tw gals in mind: t help restre envirnmental resurces and give wmen the ability t supprt their families in a self-sufficient, sustainable way. T achieve her gals, she came up with a practical but effective idea: t plant trees. The trees wuld reduce the effects f defrestatin, in additin t prviding fd and firewd fr lcal families. Wangari’s plan inspired the frmatin f the Green Belt Mvement in 1977, an rganisatin devted t envirnmental prtectin and pverty reductin in Kenya.
As the Green Belt Mvement grew, Wangari began t fcus n several different but intercnnected causes: envirnmental prtectin and human rights. In the late 1980s, she called n her cmmunity t ppse the cnstructin f a skyscraper (摩天大楼) in Uhuru Park, Nairbi’s central public space. In 1999 she led a prtest against the privatisatin（私有化） f Karura Frest in Nairbi, during which Green Belt Mvement members were beaten by private guards. Despite facing nging ppsitin and even danger, Wangari’s belief in her wrk was never shaken.
Wangari served n the bards f cuntless envirnmental rganisatins, and spke t members f the United Natins. Due t her tireless wrk, Wangari received the Nbel Peace Prize in 2004.

Everybdy, at sme pint in their lives, has experienced failure. It culd be smething as simple as nt getting the jb yu wanted, r getting fewer marks even after hard wrk. But what makes yu is nt yur failure, but hw yu get back up after being hit.
Once, a yung schl by was caught in a fire accident in his schl and was assumed that he wuld nt live. His mther was tld that he was sure t die, fr the terrible fire had destryed the lwer half f his bdy. Even if he were t survive, he wuld be lame(瘸) thrughut his life.
But the brave by did nt want t die nr did he want t be lame. Much t the amazement f the dctr, he did survive. But unfrtunately frm his waist dwn, he had n ability t act. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hspital. But his determinatin t walk was unshakable. At hme, when he was nt in bed, he had t stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself frm the chair and pulled himself acrss the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself alng the fence, firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he wuld be able t walk unaided. With his irn determinatin, he did develp the ability t stand up, then t walk n and ff, then t walk by himself and then t run.
He began t walk t schl, and then run t schl, t run fr the jy f running. Later in cllege he was n the track team.
In February 1934, in New Yrk City’s Madisn Square Garden, this yung man wh was nt expected t survive, wh wuld surely never walk, wh culd never hpe t run－this determined yung man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the wrld’s fastest mile.
A gd example f the pwer f psitive thinking and faith in ne’s self, Glenn Cunningham cntinues t be an inspiratin (鼓舞人心的人或事) fr many, and his stry, an bvius evidence t hw ne can regain his curage even when all difficulties are piled.

B．Great determinatin culd make a difference t Glenn.

D．Glenn culd live a nrmal life with the upper half f his bdy.

While Ellard Hunting and fellw researchers were ut studying the weather at a field statin in England, they nticed smething unexpected n their instruments. Thugh there was n strm appraching, the scientists’ electric field mnitrs recrded a curius increase in atmspheric electric charge(电荷).
Nearby, hneybees that lived in n-site hives were swarming (蜂拥) as they attempted t find a new hme. When the team tk a clser lk at their data, they discvered that the swarming hneybees had created an atmspheric electric charge. The researchers shared mre details abut their findings in the jurnal I-science.
“This is the first reprt f bilgy as a surce f space charge.” says Hunting, a biphysicist at the University f Bristl in England. Scientists had knwn that individual bees carry a small charge while flying thrugh the air, caused by the frictin f their bdy parts against the air and each ther. It’s similar t hw rubbing a balln n a piece f fabric creates static electricity. Scientists believe a bee’s charge helps pllen (花粉) stick t it and signals t ther bees which flwers have already been visited. But until nw, researchers had never recrded such a high vltage (电压) amng swarming hneybees.
As far as electricity generatin ges, a bee swarm’s charge isn’t s impressive: It wuld take abut 50 billin bees t pwer an LED light. But cmpared t the charges prduced by cmmn weather events, the bees’ charge density was six times greater than an electrified (带电的) dust strm and eight times greater than a thunderstrm clud.
Using the hneybee data, the researchers created a mdel t predict the ptential atmspheric electric charge f ther insects, including lcusts (蝗虫), mths and butterflies. “Lcusts swarm in biblical numbers.” says Liam O’Reilly, a c-authr and bilgist at the University f Bristl. Cluds f these insects can span up t 1,200 square kilmetres and cntain rughly 30 millin lcusts per square kilmeter. The researchers predict lcusts wuld have a much bigger influence n the atmsphere cmpared t hneybees.
Scientists hpe t cntinue explring hw bilgy influences physics and are curius t knw if smething similar is happening with ther wildlife, such as birds and bats.
32. What were the researchers ding when smething unexpected n their instruments happened?
A. Studying weather events. B. Testing their instruments.
C. Recrding insects’ behavir.D. Lking fr hneybees’ new hme.
33. What’s a bee’s charge used fr ?
A. Signaling t ther bees. B. Helping the bee fly fast.
C. Finding pllen mre easily. D. Aviding lsing their way.
34. What des the underlined wrd “biblical” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Limited. B. Full. C. Large. D. Slight.
35. What will the scientists cntinue t study next?
A. The wide applicatin f bilgy. B. Measures t prtect birds and bats.
C. The influences f dust strms n wildlife. D. Whether ther wildlife can prduce electric charge.

And he pedaled tw mre blcks befre arriving at the market. He lved the market’s sights and smells.
Peter’s eurs clinked(叮当响) in his pcket as he walked thrugh the market, examining each table. He stpped at a fruit stand, chse tw shiny apples and paid tw eurs. Then he stpped at the cheese table and asked fr half a pund f cheese, handing the waiter three eurs. Peter placed the items in his bicycle basket and pedaled back tward hme.

【答案详解】
A篇: 21．A 22．D 23．B
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要是“星期日科学”讲座中四月关于郁金香的相关内容介绍。
21．细节理解题。根据首段中的“Science n Sundays is a prgramme f free mnthly science talks which always brings the latest discveries in plant science, as well as research linked t the plant cllectin at the Btanic Garden, t the visitrs in a 30-minute shrt perid f time.(“星期日科学”是一个每月免费的科学讲座节目，在30分钟的短时间内，为参观者介绍植物科学的最新发现，以及与植物园植物收藏相关的研究。)”可知，“星期日科学”讲座节目是把最新的植物发现和与植物收藏相关的研究展示给参观者，由此可知，该节目是关注植物的科学。故选A项。
