Willa Sibert Cather, Nebraska's most noted novelist, was born in 1873 in Virginia. At the age of ten, she moved with her family to Webster County, Nebraska, and lived on a farm there for two years before moving into the town of Red Cloud. Many of Cather's acquaintances and Red Cloud area scenes can be recognized in her writings. Cather graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1895. While attending the university, she was a drama critic for the Lincoln Journal.
She worked for Home Monthly and the Daily Leader in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and later taught English and Latin at Allegheny, Pennsylvania. She moved to New York and served as managing editor of McClure's Magazine from 1906 t0 1912. Cather continued her education and received a doctorate of letters at the University of Nebraska in 1917. She also received honorary degrees from the University of Michigan, the University of California, and from Columbia, Yale, and Princeton.
Cather wrote poetry, short stories, essays, and novels, winning many awards including the Gold Medal of the National Institute of Arts and Letters. In 1922 she won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel, One of Ours, about a Nebraska farm boy who went off to World War I. Her novel, A Lost Lady, was made into a silent movie in 1925.Other well-known Cather novels include My Antonia, O Pioneers, Death Comes for the Archbishop, and The Professor's House.
Cather died April 24, 1947 in New York. The Willa Cather Pioneer Memorial and Educational Foundation at Red Cloud, Nebraska preserved her childhood home and other buildings connected with her writings. In 1961 Cather was the first woman voted into the Nebraska Hall of Fame. She was inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1974 and into the National Women's Hall of Fame at Seneca, New York in 1988

Throughout Europe golf has been popular for many years. A recent report says that in Great Britain alone, 700 new golf courses(球场)will have to be built over the next ten years to meet people's needs.
This is all good news for golf lovers, but it worries those who want to protect the environment. Their argument is that the new courses are disturbing the balance of nature. Woods, ponds and fields are being dug up to make way for the courses. The birds and animals that used to live there are being killed or forced to leave. The amount of water that a club uses to keep its courses in good condition is reducing the amount of water available for industrial and other uses. The chemicals used to control insects are sinking into the underground water.
There may be some truth in this, but it is not the whole truth. The days are long past when building of any kind was allowed in beautiful places with no thought for the environment. Planning permission, nowadays, is as strict for golf courses as it is for any other type of development. Before any such project is given the go-ahead, many things are studied. It is only when it is clear no harm will be done to the area that the builders are allowed to move in.
A strong case can even be made that golf courses are actually good for the areas where they are built. Courses are usually built in the areas which are not areas of natural beauty. The new courses often make the area look livelier. To make holes more difficult, trees are planted and lakes are filled in around greens. Not surprisingly perhaps, it is not unusual to find that, within months of a course being completed, a lot of animals and birds have moved in.
Obviously, careful thought has to go into the design of the new courses. As few changes as possible should be made to the natural environment. Woods and wildlife should be also protected. But this can be, and is being, done. There is no reason why golfers and nature cannot live peacefully together.
25. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?
A. The rules for playing golf. B. How to protect the environment.
C. The disadvantages of building golf courses.
D. Whether golf courses should be built or not.
26. According to Paragraph 4, golf courses_________.
A. make local areas look more beautiful
B. provide more jobs for local people
C. are harmful to the local environment
D. waste too much water and money
27. Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude in the passage?
A. Uninterested. B. Worried. C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful.
28. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
C

NEW MEXICO一Make way for the final high-rise project: the space elevator. Long viewed as science story "imagineering", researchers are gathering strength in their search of something to push this uplifting imagination into actuality.
The elevator would be a smooth 62,000 mile ride up a long cable. Payloads(货物）can shake up the Earthtospace cable, experiencing no large launch forces, slowly climbing from our atmosphere to space.
Science fiction writers have been mentioning space elevators for years. Some call it a "thought experiment", but others point out that space exploration B.C.一Before Cable一will pale compared with what's possible within ten to fifteen years.
Edwards told SPACE.com that he's been wrapped up in space elevator work for some three years, supported by NIAC program. "I'm convinced that the space elevator is practical and doable". In 15 years we could have a dozen cables running at top speed putting 50 tons in space every day for even less, including upper middle class individuals wanting a joyride(观光)into space.
For a space elevator to fun_ction, a cable with one end attached to the Earth's surface stretches up-wards, reaching beyond Earth orbit. The cable remains unmoving over a single position on Earth. This cable, once in position, can be lifted from Earth by machines, right into Earth orbit. The hardest challenge has been finding a superstrong cable material. "That's what has kept this idea in science fiction for 40 years," Edwards said. "But the right cable stuff is no longer thought of as 'unobtainable'," he said. The answer is carbon-nanotube-composite ribbon(碳纳米管合成缆绳）
33.What is the space elevator mentioned in this passage?
A. It is a means of imaginary transportation by which people could reach space.
B. It is a smooth 62,000 mile cable with which people carry goods to space now.
C. It is a thought experiment which scientists are now doing.
D.lt is something that people are now searching for.
34.What is the meaning of "wrapped up in" as the words are used in the passage?
A. Contained. B. Surrounded by.
C. Deeply devoted to. D. Covered with.
35.The main purpose of writing this passage is ______.
A. to announce the realization of space elevator
B. to introduce the future space elevator
C. to attract more people to go sightseeing in space
D. to show the difficulty in building space elevator

On Self-protection of Teenagers
Recently, there is a widespread concern on frequent disappearance of teenagers.
These incidents, as we believe, mainly result from the inadequate Self-protection from the strangers and failure to stay calm in an emergency.
Waking up to the ill consequence, we can take some measures. For instance, never should we take a lift on a car without a taxi license. Besides, we’d better not walk alone, and when we have to , a safe distance from the strangers is a must. Moreover, it is highly advisable that we keep the valuables, such as a large amount of money, at home rather amount of money, at home rather than on ourselves. Finally, in case of an emergency, wisdom is more important than courage.
Safety is everything. Therefore, it is high time that we took every measure to protect ourselves.
