The other day, my wife and I were in Kent County when we saw smoke on the horizon. We went about our business for a little while, and then curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to go over and check out the fire. It turned out there was a brush fire that got out of control and grew from 25 acres to 100 acres.
What struck me most about that day was the word “volunteer” written on almost every piece of emergency equipment that I could see. No one was getting paid to fight the fire that day. They were there because they chose to be, not because they had to be.
How many of us would wake up early one fine Sunday morning, get dressed in hot, bulky (笨重 的)clothing and risk our lives for no money and little reward? These folks do that all the time. I live in a densely populated (人口稠密的）area, and our local fire department is volunteer. Most of the time when we see these individuals, they are either on the way to or back from an emergency. We also occasionally see them collecting money on the side of the road. With either boots or helmets in hand, they ask for donations to keep them in the latest life-saving equipment. I think very few people give them the amount that’s equal to, say, a basic cable (缆绳）bill.
As a small business owner, I really can’t give these people enough money. And I don’t think our communities do enough to honor these people who risk their lives and volunteer. If you ever lose your faith in people, follow one of these trucks to a disaster and watch who jumps off and what they do. I believe you’ll be amazed by what total strangers are willing to do to protect you. 4. When the author was in Kent County the other day, he ____________. A. lost his business B. witnessed a big fire
C. had a quarrel with his wife D. acted as a volunteer firefighter

C. Volunteer firefighters often get up earlier than others.
D. More and more people are ready to be volunteer firefighters.
6. How does the author feel about people’s donations to volunteer firefighters? A. Excited. B. Confident. C. Curious. D. Disappointed.
7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Do what we can to prevent fires B. Don’t put yourself at risk of a fire C. Keep a warm heart in volunteer work
D. Don’t take volunteer firefighters for granted C
A new kind of rice, golden rice, may soon make its way into the world’s food supply by the year 2021, reports Science magazine.
Golden rice was actually first developed back in the 1990s by German scientists who were looking for creative ways to reduce rates of vitamin A deficiency(维生素A 缺乏症）in human body, which continues to be a major concern throughout the developing world. Beta-carotene (β一胡萝卜素), which exists in some plants, can change into vitamin A in our body.
In view of beta-carotene’s characteristics, German scientists tried and managed to make rice filled
with additional beta-carotene, which has a strong red-orange color. The beta-carotene that is added to this rice is actually what conduces to its special golden color. To German scientists, developing this rice was meaningful. But as with all GM (转基因的） crops, some people warn that the golden rice may be unnecessary and even harmful, possibly having some environmental consequences. Until now, those voices have prevented golden rice from being planted anywhere.
However, that’s about to change. Bangladesh now plans to become the first country to approve golden rice for planting. Recently, golden rice is receiving a series of tests before the final approval of Bangladesh. Tests conducted by the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) found no new farming challenges with golden rice and no big differences in quality between the crop and traditional varieties, with the exception that golden rice is more nutritious. Some other organizations are still doing tests about the environmental influences of the crop. If those results are also good, then golden rice will have received all the approval it needs to move forward with planting.
As for the future market for the golden rice, the crop will need to gain the public’s trust. And it remains to be seen whether golden rice will offer a better nutritional and economical choice compared to other sources of vitamin A, such as other vegetables where it occurs naturally. 8. What was German scientists’ main purpose of working on rice? A. To raise its output.
B. To make it look prettier. C. To collect its beta-carotene.
D. To improve its vitamin A content.
9. What does the underlined part “conduces to” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Causes. B. Changes. C. Removes. D. Lightens.
10. What do BRRI’s tests show about golden rice? A. It can hardly grow on the farmland of Bangladesh. B. It is nutritionally better than traditional rice. C. It may do serious harm to the environment. D. It is no different from other rice in taste.
11. How is golden rice’s future market in the author’s opinion? A. Promising. B. Worrying. C. Uncertain. D. Hopeless. D
Before war and time destroy more of our important cultural sites, we need to save them in 3-D digital libraries. Across 163 different countries, 1,000 natural and cultural historic places make up our most precious human heritage, which UNESCO calls World Heritage Sites.
We lose a little of that heritage every day. War, climate change and pollution have a bad effect, as do wind and rain. The $4 million a year that UNESCO spends on preservation is not nearly enough to take care of even the four dozen sites considered at approaching risk of being lost forever. Now there’s a better choice. New digital-conservation technologies let us hold on to them, at least virtually (虚拟地), through 3-D scanning, modeling and digital storage. Such projects can be accomplished through cooperation between governments, universities, industry and non-profit organizations.
To make a 3-D model, a laser (激光）scanner bounces light off an object and records the results. To reproduce every corner and opening, the scanner collects overlapping (重叠的）images from all possible angles. A computer then sews them together into one large surface image and draws lines from one point to another to create a wire-frame model. High-resolution digital cameras add color and texture. When fully put together, the models can be viewed, printed or operated.
These scans do more than preserve a memory in a database. With highly accurate measurements, archaeologists (考古学家）can find hidden passages or reveal ancient engineering tricks. School kids can explore places they might otherwise never see. And when a site is destroyed, the scans can even be used to reconstruct what was there. That has already happened for one World Heritage Site, the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda. Built of wood in 1882, they were destroyed by fire in 2010 and rebuilt in 2014, based in large part on 3-D models made in 2009. More than 100 World Heritage Sites have been already preserved as 3-D models, and conservationists are racing to record as many more as possible.
12. How does the author show the necessity for 3-D digital libraries in the first two paragraphs? A. By listing the threats to our human heritage. B. By introducing some damaged historical sites.
C. By quoting some experts’ views on heritage protection.
D. By explaining UNESCO’s research on World Heritage Sites. 13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The function of a laser scanner. B. The rejection of light off an object. C. The process of making a 3-D model.
D. The development of 3-D digital technology.
14. What do we know about the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda? A. It is metal-framed.
B. It is still in its original condition.
C. It was once destroyed in an earthquake. D. It was reconstructed thanks to 3-D models.
15. What does the author intend to say through this text? A. Never ignore the destructive power of war.
B. Take action to reduce pollution in historic places. C. Take advantage of3-D technology to keep history. D. Invest more money to preserve World Heritage Sites. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There was nothing in the house to eat and I was hungry. I was also absolutely annoyed because I had to go to the store before I could have breakfast. 16 Adding to my frustration (沮丧),by the time I got to the market, I couldn’t remember anything I needed. I wandered around and finally picked up a 40-pound bag of dog food and a few other things and headed for the checkout.
There were only three checkers working and every one of them had a long line, further fueling my bad mood. Then I really picked the wrong line. The people in front of me had two full carts (手推车)，and the checker started checking the goods. 17
I left to get the things that had brought me to the store in the first place, and went back to the
