In 1992, when Xi Jinping worked in Fuzhou, he came across a newspaper report about “My Guling,” written by a Chinese student studying in the United States.

The report described an American couple who tried in vain to revisit a southern Chinese town called Guling, where the husband, Milton Gardner, had spent 10 years of his childhood before moving back to the United States in 1911.

Gardner, who later became a professor of physics at the University of California, had been longing to revisit Guling since 1979 when the diplomatic ties between China and the US were set up. But he had never made the trip due to his failing health.

According to the newspaper, Gardner kept uttering (叨念) “Kuling, Kuling” in the final hours of his life.

After he passed away, his wife Elizabeth Gardner decided to carry out the dying wish of her husband and since then made several trips to China in an attempt to find the small town that her husband had so much affection about. Her efforts ended in vain as she had few clues (线索) about the exact spot of the town. But a Chinese student lodging (寄宿) at the Gardners’ recognized the small town as Guling near Fuzhou City from postmarks on some old mails of late Mr. Gardner. The student wrote an article about Gardners’ story and sent it to the People’s Daily, one of the major newspapers in China.

“After I read the story, I immediately contacted Mrs. Gardner through the departments concerned and invited her to visit Guling,” Xi told the media. Thanks to Xi’s arrangement, Mrs. Gardner finally arrived at Guling in August 1992. She met there with nine childhood friends of her husband, all of whom were over 90 years old at that time.

It was a happy occasion for Mrs. Gardner, who was later awarded the honorary citizenship of Fuzhou City, Xi recalled.

“She said that she would value this bond (纽带) of friendship between her husband and the people of China, because after seeing for herself the beautiful Guling and the warmth and goodwill of the Chinese people, she now understood why her husband had been so deeply attached to China.”

“I believe there are many such touching stories between our two peoples,” said Xi.

4. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner were brought up in a southern Chinese town.

B. The name of the town changed shortly after Milton Gardner left.

C. Guling might have originally been pronounced as Kuling in English.

D. Mrs. Gardner knew exactly where the small town lay in south China.

5. According to the passage, Mr. Gardner_________.

A. lived and worked in Guling for ten years

B. had few memories about the small Chinese town

C. kept in touch with his childhood playmates until he passed away

D. was deeply impressed by Guling’s people and environment

6. What played the most important part in making Milton Gardner’s wish come true?

A. The help from newspapers.

B. Mrs. Gardner’s hard efforts.

C. Mr. Xi’s concern and arrangement.

D The Chinese student’s letter to Mr.Xi.

7. From the passage we can learn that_____.

A. the Gardners’ story is a moving one with a happy ending

B. the Chinese student studying in the US must be from Fuzhou

C. the mails which became clues of Guling were sent by Gardner

D. the American couple revisited China trying to find Guling but in vain

Babies appear to know how to help those in need, according to researchers who studied signs of altruism in almost 100 children.

Researchers who wanted to see whether children would give up their food to a stranger without encouragement found the kids did just that ——even when they were hungry.

The scientists recruited 96 19-month-old children. During the experiments, a child and a researcher sat across from each other. In the control group of the first set of experiments, researchers threw a piece of fruit onto a plate where they couldn’t reach, but the child could. They then waited. In contrast, researchers in the test group pretended to drop the fruit on the plate, then tried and failed to reach it. This signaled to the child that the adult wanted the food.

Among the control group, only 4 percent of the children gave the piece of fruit to the researchers, compared with 58 percent, or over half, in the test group.

Next, the team explored if children would still be generous when it was at a cost to themselves. The first set of experiments was repeated with a separate group of kids before their lunchtime, when they were likely to be hungry. Similarly, 37 percent of the test group handed over their fruit, compared with none in the control group.

The experiments were repeated four times. Researchers got similar results each time. Babies with siblings (兄弟姐妹)and babies from Latino or Asian families shared more of the fruit, the team also found.

Carter Morgan, lead professor of the study, said, “We often think of babies as selfish. But here we find that they are willing to help others even when it comes at some ‘cost’ to the self.”

Addressing why children with siblings or from certain cultural backgrounds were more likely to share their fruit, Morgan said, “We believe this partly reflects what social psychologists call ‘ interdependence’, which stresses on the importance of interpersonal connections and adjusting to others. These social experiences that shape attitudes towards sharing appear to have an effect very early in life.”

8. The underlined word “altruism” most probably means ________ .

A. generosity B. creativity

C. friendliness D. confidence

9. What can be inferred about 19-month-old babies?

A. They know when to have lunch.

B. They understand signals for help.

C. They can classify different fruits.

D. They can express their needs freely.

10. Which graph best explains the findings of the experiments?

A.  B.

C.  D.

11. What can we learn from the text?

A. Attitudes towards sharing change greatly as people get older.

B. Babies from families with an only child are not willing to share.

C. It’s easier to control babies’ selfish desires when they are hungry.

D. Social experiences play a role in affecting babies’ behavior of sharing.

【答案】8. A    9. B    10. A    11. D

D

What would you think if someone suggested pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It would be ridiculous, right? But when it comes to devastation (毁灭) of the natural world, we aren’t so easily shocked. But we should be...or we’ll be in a lot of trouble.

Nature is shrinking by the day. Ancient forests are destroyed. Wetlands are becoming dry. Woodland is disappearing. And all in the name of progress. This is bad in itself, but it’s devastating for biodiversity.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals and other living things which are all inter-connected. The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life. The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis (光合作用) by green plants. In fact, all life on earth exists thanks to the benefit of biodiversity. More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species. And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals. Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.

The loss of biodiversity could be devastating. “It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edward O. Wilson, known as “the father of biodiversity”. He warned, “we are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will be unavoidable.”

But what can we do? The problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague. People might care about giant pandas, but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines. The Guardian newspaper is trying to help. It has started the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity. This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to reverse the decline in sea-life caused by industrial fishing, banning the fishing sharks by the Japanese fishermen and stopping the killing of dingoes in Australia, among many other things.

There is a lot to do. And we’d better get a move on if we don’t want to end up with a planet that can’t support life!

12. What does the author want to tell us by the comparison in paragraph 1?

A. It is unreasonable to pull down Big Ben. B. People take devastation of nature for granted.

C. The differences between Big Ben and nature. D. The great trouble we have been faced with.

13. What can we infer from Edward O. Wilson’s words?

A. It doesn’t matter to reduce biodiversity. B. People have done enough to preserve biodiversity.

C. The situation of biodiversity is very serious. D. Biodiversity loss has become unavoidable.

14. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 5 refer to?

A. The UK government. B. The concept of biodiversity.

C. The action to deal with problem. D. The Guardian newspaper.

15. Which of the following can be the suitable title for the text?

A. Biodiversity Battle B. Biodiversity Loss C. Planet Conservation D. Planet Changing

【答案】12. B    13. C    14. D    15. A
