阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
In
the
state
of
Maryland,
a
girl
was
born
into
slavery
(奴隶制)
in
1820.
Her
parents
named
her
Araminta
Harriet
Ross.
She
was
to
become
Harriet
Tubman.
She
was
one
of
about
one
million
Africans
in
slavery
in
the United
States.
From
the
age
of
five,
Harriet
Tubman's
owners
made
her
work
very
hard.
First,
she
cared
for
the
child
of
the
farm
owner.
Then,
she
did
hard
work
on
large
farms.
Although
she
could
not
read
or
write,
Tubman
learned
from
her
parents
to
do
what
was
right.
Through
her
whole
life,
Tubman
put
herself
in
danger
to
help
other
people.
One
such
act
changed
her
life
when
she
was
13
years
old.
Because
she
helped
another
slave,
her
owner
threw
a
piece
of
metal
at
her
and
it
hit
her
on
the
head.
She
was
badly
hurt.
For
the
rest
of
her
life,
Tubman's
head
wound
caused
problems
for
her.
When
she
was
about
25
years
old,
Harriet
married
a
free
black
man
named
John
Tubman.
But
she
was
still
a
slave.
Her
life
was
so
difficult
that
she
decided
to
escape.
She
travelled
for
145
kilometres,
and
finally
crossed
into
the
North.
Tubman
became
a
free
woman.
But
Tubman
could
not
leave
her
family
enslaved
in
the
South.
So
she
travelled
back
to
help
them
escape
as
well.
Then,
she
made
many
trips
and
guided
about
300
slaves
to
freedom.
Tubman
also
fought
bravely
in
the
American
Civil
War
and
in
1865
slavery
was
not
allowed
in
the US.
Harriet
Tubman
died
in
1913.
Her
memory
brings
hope
to
many
people
—
especially
to
those
who
fight
for
justice
(正义).
She
encouraged
people
to
never
give
up.



“If
you
want
a
taste
of
freedom,
keep
going.”
21.

One
of
the
most
unusual
flowering
plants
in
the
world,
the
Snowdonia
hawkweed
(斯诺登水兰),
grows
only
in
Snowdonia
National
Park
in
northern
Wales.
The
area
is
rocky
and
mountainous,
and
the
air
is
cool
and
wet.
The
Snowdonia
hawkweed
prefers
this
area.
In
fact,
it
grows
nowhere
else
in
the
world.
It
is
even
picky
about
where
it
grows
in
the
park.
The
Snowdonia
hawkweed
is
about
two
inches
tall
with
bright
yellow
flowers.
It
may
not
be
the
most
beautiful
plant
in
the
world,
but
it
is
a
favorite
snack
of
sheep.
In
1953,
the
Snowdonia
hawkweed
disappeared.
People
feared
that
the
plant
was
gone
forever.
They
believed
that
the
sheep
there
had
eaten
the
last
few
plants.
So,
the
people
who
ran
the
park
took
the
sheep
away
from
the
area,
hoping
that
the
hawkweed
might
return.
In
2002,
almost
50
years
after
it
was
thought
to
be extinct,
a
group
of
plant
scientists
found
the
yellow
flowers
in
the
park
—
exactly
where
it
had
last
been
seen,
and
where
it
had
been
searched
for
without
success.
The
hawkweed
had
returned!
To
try
to
prevent
the
plant
from
disappearing
again,
scientists
collected
seeds
(种子)
from
the
plant.
Since
2002,
the
unusual
plant
has
continued
to
appear
in
the
park.
25.
The
Snowdonia
hawkweed
_____.
A.
is
the
most
beautiful
plant
in
the
world
B.
grows
everywhere
in
northern Wales
C.
produces
the
most
unusual
flowers
D.
is
an
extremely
unusual
plant
26.
What
happened
to
the
Snowdonia
hawkweed
in
1953
_____.
A.
worried
a
lot
of
people
B.
proved
nature
is
powerful
C.
made
the
park
less
attractive
D.
caused
a
rise
in
the
number
of
sheep
27.
The
underlined
word
“extinct”
in
Paragraph
3
probably
means
_____.
A.
growing







B.
disappearing
C.
unusual

D.
dangerous

C
A
new
law
in
Arizona
requires
high
school
students
to
pass
the
United
States'
citizenship
(公民身份)
test.
There're
100
questions
on US history
and
government
in
the
test.
The
Joe
Foss
Institute
helped
create
the
law.
They
want
to
pass
a
law
in
each
of
the
50
states
to
require
high
school
students
to
pass
the
test.
A
2010
national
test
showed
only
about
25
percent
of
students
in
their
final
year
of
high
school
had
a
good
understanding
of
American
government.
Thirty-six
percent
did
not
have
even
a
basic
understanding.
“That's
a
shame,
and
it's
not
only
a
shame,”
said
John
Hale,
the
Associate
Director
of
the
Center
for
Civic
(公民的)
Education
in
California.
Mr.
Hale
thinks
it
is
dangerous
when
citizens
do
not
know
or
care
about
how
their
government
works.
He
says
students
do
not
only
need
to
learn
facts
about
government.
They
should
also
learn
how
to
take
part
in
their
communities.
“Requiring
high
school
students
to
take
the
test
might
be
a
way
to
improve
students'
civic
behavior,”
he
says.
But
some
wonder
if
a
test
young
people
take
in
high
school
will
make
adults
more
active
in
their
communities.
Sam
Stone
writes
reports
for
the
Joe
Foss
Institute.
He
says
research
shows
that
civic
education
does
result
in
more
involved
(参与的)
adults.
He
noted
a
2012
survey
that
found
the
more
young
people
studied
civics
in
high
school,
the
more
likely
they
were
to
get
actively
involved
in
their
communities.
In
another
state, Virginia,
many
people
are
against
the
test.
Meg
Gruber
is
the
President
of
the
Virginia
Education
Association.
She
says
students
already
take
classes
in
civics
and US history.
And,
she
says,
schools
should
not
have
to
pay
more
for
the
test.
Sam
Stone
agrees.
He
says
his
organization
is
paying
for
an
online
testing
website.
Schools
can
use
the
website
to
give
the
test
for
free.
28.
The
US
citizenship
test
_____.
A.
is
a
required
test
all
over America
B.
was
created
by
the
Joe
Foss
Institute
C.
helps
students
understand
American
government
D.
has
been
included
in
American
law
for
five
years
29.
What
may
John
Hale
agree
with
A.
How
the US government
works
should
not
be
open
to
the
public.
B.
It's
a
shame
that
the US government
is
unpopular
with
students.
C.
Community
activities
outweigh
facts
about
the US government.
D.
The
US
citizenship
test
will
be
good
for
students
and
society.
30.
The
result
of
the
2012
survey
_____.
A.
was
different
from
Sam
Stone's
findings
B.
showed
civics
helped
students
become
more
active
citizens
C.
led
more
young
people
to
study
civics
D.
showed
students
were
as
interested
as
adults
in
their
government
31.
What
did
Meg
Gruber
think
of
the
citizenship
test
A.
Unimportant.








B.
Unpleasant.
C.
Acceptable.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Long,
long
ago
people
couldn't
write
and
they
had
no
books.
But
they
had
stories.
People
learned
the
stories
by
heart
and
taught
new
ones
to
one
another.
Sometimes
it
was
hard
to
remember
them
all. 36
The
ancient
Egyptians
wrote
their
stories
on
something
made
from
papyrus
(纸莎草)
plants.
People
in
other
places
learned
to
use
papyrus
from
the
Egyptians. 37 So
parchment
(羊皮纸),
made
from
goatskin,
later
took
its
place.
In
ancient China books
looked
a
little
different.
People
there
used
ink
to
write
on
bamboo
or
silk.
And
then
they
invented
paper.
Made
of
trees,
paper
was
easier
and
cheaper
to
make
than
papyrus
or
parchment. 38 Papermaking
later
spread
to
the
West,
but
there
was
a
big
problem
with
these
early
books.
Every
single
one
had
to
be
copied
and
written
by
hand.
39 They
carved
(雕刻)
a
page
of
words
into
a
piece
of
wood
or
stone.
They
could
then
print
the
page
by
spreading
ink
on
the
wood
or
stone
and
putting
it
against
paper.
But
it
wasn't
until
a
German
printer
invented
movable,
metal
letters
that
books
became
fast
and
easy
to
make.
The
letters
could
be
used
to
print
copy
after
copy,
and
the
letters
put
together
again
and
again
to
print
different
pages
of
words.
40 Once
a
luxury
(奢侈品)
only
the
rich
could
buy,
they
soon
became
a
treasure
everyone
could
enjoy.
A.
But
papyrus
grew
mainly
in Egypt.
B.
It
took
years
to
finish
making
just
one
book.
C.
Finally
books
could
be
printed
by
the
thousands.
D.
Things
grew
a
little
easier
when
writing
was
invented.
E.
Its
surface
was
smoother
and
better
for
writing
on
too.
F.
Books
in
the
West
didn't
change
for
a
long
time
after
that.
G.
The
Chinese
were
the
first
to
think
of
a
way
to
speed
things
up
a
little.

The
whole
school
was
talking
about
the
coming
trip
at
a
winter
camp.
And
everyone
was 41 ,
except
me.
“I'll
hate
it,”
I
told
my
parents.
“I'll
get
homesick
(想家的).
I'll
look
stupid
at
winter
sports,
and
everyone
will 42 me.”
“You
might
be
surprised,
Bree,”
said
Mom.
“The
only
way
to
find
out
is
to 43 .”
“It's
what
growing
up
is
all
about,”
Dad
added.
When 44 the
camp,
we
were
asked
to
share
one 45 .
“I'm
afraid
I'll
be
homesick,”
someone
said.
I
wasn't
the
only
one !
I
began
to 46 .
After
lunch,
we
were
asked
to
ski
(滑雪)
down
to
the
field.
I
skied 47 ,
but
I
still
hit
a
piece
of
ice
and 48 .
“Ha!
Ha!”
Behind
me,
somebody
started
laughing.
I 49 to
see
who
was
making
fun
of
me.
To
my 50 ,
I
saw
a
girl
in
the
same
awkward
(尴尬的)
position
I
was
in.
“I
thought
I'd
be
bad
at
this, 51 I'm
worse
than
I
expected!”
she
said.
52 ,
I
started
laughing
too.
After
being
so 53 of
falling,
it
was
a
comfort
not
to
fear
it
anymore.

At
dinnertime,
I
was
so
happy
to
be
talking
about
interesting
things
that
I 54 to
feel
homesick.
The
next
day,
I
was 55 to
try
ski
jumping
first,
even
though
I
didn't
want
to.
But
when
my
feet
left
the
ground,
I
felt
I
was 56 and
it
was
wonderful.

Maybe
Dad
was
right
when
he
said
“You
might 57 it
if
you
give
it
a
chance!”

Maybe
the
kind
of 58 Mom
and
Dad
were
talking
about
had
more
to
do
with
my
outlook
(态度)
than
my
looks.
