A
When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there！There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms.“You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you，”said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on.When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”
Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.
I would like to say “thank you” to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

She bought the house in Washington in 1955 and she wanted to make it into a museum after her death. Many art experts helped Mrs Post create its fine collection.
Hillwood has many rooms which are filled with her treasures.

Thirty years ago, if you looked down from a plane at the east coast of Australia, you would be greeted by the breathtaking beauty of the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁), the world's largest coral reef. It stretched for over 2,600 kilometres in the blue sea, containing countless corals and small islands. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.
However, this natural wonder of the world is being taken away from us. Coral cover in the Great Barrier Reef has dropped by more than half over the last 28 years, The Guardian reported. “If the trend continues, coral cover could halve again by 2022，” said Peter Doherty, researcher at the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS)．So unless we start acting now, there won't be any “heritage” left in the future.
Coral reefs are an important part of the ocean's ecosystem.They are a source of food, and act as protection for young fish.But in the past three decades they have been under threat around the world mainly from increased storms, a growing number of crown-of-thorns starfish and coral bleaching (退色)．
Storm damage caused nearly half of the coral losses. In the past seven years, the reef has been affected by six major storms, each leaving a trail (痕迹) of destruction.
The crown-of-thorns starfish is also causing problems. Scientists believe that run-offs (地表径流) containing a large amount of fertilizers have caused the population boost of this coral-eating animal. Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish usually start two or three years after major floods in northern rivers.
Coral bleaching accounts for about 10 per cent of coral damage. It is usually due to ocean acidification (酸化) and rising temperatures because sea water absorbs more carbon dioxide from the air. This disrupts the corals' ability to grow and build structures.
The good news is that corals can recover if given the chance. But this is slow. And the future of the ocean's coral is largely in human hands.
“We can't stop the storms…But we can achieve better water quality, and we can deal with the challenge of crown-of-thorns starfish，” says John Gunn, CEO of AIMS. “However, its future also lies with the global response to reducing carbon dioxide emissions(排放)．”
33．What can we learn about the Great Barrier Reef from the article?
A．As the world's second largest coral reef, the Great Barrier Reef was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
B．The Great Barrier Reef has lost more than half of its coral cover since 28 years ago.
C．At the present rate of loss, the coral cover will reduce by another 30 per cent within a decade.
D．Coral reefs are an important part of the ocean's ecosystem and can prevent ocean acidification.
34．The underlined phrase “under threat” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．at risk B．out of sight C．in demand D．beyond recognition
35．What can we do to prevent further coral decline of the Great Barrier Reef according to the article?
a．Improve water quality.
b．Reduce global carbon dioxide emissions.
c．Disrupt the coral-eating starfish's ability to build structures.
d．Control the population of the crown-of-thorns starfish.
e．Make ocean absorb more carbon dioxide from the air.
A．a, b, c B．a, b, d C．a, c, e D．b, d, e

Thirty years ago, if you looked down from a plane at the east coast of Australia, you would be greeted by the breathtaking beauty of the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁), the world's largest coral reef. It stretched for over 2,600 kilometres in the blue sea, containing countless corals and small islands. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.
However, this natural wonder of the world is being taken away from us. Coral cover in the Great Barrier Reef has dropped by more than half over the last 28 years, The Guardian reported. “If the trend continues, coral cover could halve again by 2022，” said Peter Doherty, researcher at the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS)．So unless we start acting now, there won't be any “heritage” left in the future.
Coral reefs are an important part of the ocean's ecosystem.They are a source of food, and act as protection for young fish.But in the past three decades they have been under threat around the world mainly from increased storms, a growing number of crown-of-thorns starfish and coral bleaching (退色)．
Storm damage caused nearly half of the coral losses. In the past seven years, the reef has been affected by six major storms, each leaving a trail (痕迹) of destruction.
The crown-of-thorns starfish is also causing problems. Scientists believe that run-offs (地表径流) containing a large amount of fertilizers have caused the population boost of this coral-eating animal. Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish usually start two or three years after major floods in northern rivers.
Coral bleaching accounts for about 10 per cent of coral damage. It is usually due to ocean acidification (酸化) and rising temperatures because sea water absorbs more carbon dioxide from the air. This disrupts the corals' ability to grow and build structures.
The good news is that corals can recover if given the chance. But this is slow. And the future of the ocean's coral is largely in human hands.
“We can't stop the storms…But we can achieve better water quality, and we can deal with the challenge of crown-of-thorns starfish，” says John Gunn, CEO of AIMS. “However, its future also lies with the global response to reducing carbon dioxide emissions(排放)．”
33．What can we learn about the Great Barrier Reef from the article?
A．As the world's second largest coral reef, the Great Barrier Reef was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
B．The Great Barrier Reef has lost more than half of its coral cover since 28 years ago.
C．At the present rate of loss, the coral cover will reduce by another 30 per cent within a decade.
D．Coral reefs are an important part of the ocean's ecosystem and can prevent ocean acidification.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“…the world's largest coral reef.”可知A项不对；由第二段的“Coral cover in the Great Barrier Reef has dropped by more than half over the last 28 years…”可知B项正确；由第二段的“‘If the trend continues, coral cover could halve again by 2022…’”可知C项不对；由第六段可知海洋酸化可能会引起珊瑚死亡，所以D项不对。
34．The underlined phrase “under threat” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．at risk B．out of sight C．in demand D．beyond recognition
【答案】A
【解析】词义猜测题。上文提到了珊瑚覆盖面积大幅度减少，而后面紧接的是导致这一现象发生的原因，所以under threat在这里应该意为“受到威胁，有危险”，故选A。
35．What can we do to prevent further coral decline of the Great Barrier Reef according to the article?
a．Improve water quality.
b．Reduce global carbon dioxide emissions.
c．Disrupt the coral-eating starfish's ability to build structures.
d．Control the population of the crown-of-thorns starfish.

Now, I will give you a brief introduction to the Great Wall. The Great Wall is located in the northern part of China, the length of which is about 6,700 kilometers. In 1987, it was added to the World Heritage list. The Great Wall was originally built in the Qin Dynasty to defend against the attack of the enemies.
