60 or so men and women are gathering outside of the Emergency Food Shelf in the city of Burlington. Inside, volunteer students from the University of Vermont （UVM） are working busily to bake chicken, re-heat donated pizza, chop vegetables, make peanut butter and sandwiches, and put bananas and beverages （饮料）within easy reach of anyone who comes through the door.
Six nights a week, the Salvation Army makes dinner for the hungry. But on Sunday, the Army's day of rest, the UVM kids take over and make sure that anyone who's hungry gets fed.
This year the program is headed by a tall, blonde chemistry major. At age 22, senior Carly Hodgins has been a part of this group for four years and is a masterful organizer.
“Time to open up!” Carly yells.
The door swings open. Men and women who've been waiting outside silently walk into the building. Ten steps inside the door, each man or woman picks up a waiting plate and the students
start piling it with food. Every person gets a portion（ 一 份）of meat, vegetables, salad, potatoes, and pizza.
Carly stands at the end of the food line and offers a beverage. "Apple juice?” she asks, looking straight into the eyes of each diner. "Orange juice?” Her smile is a flash of sunshine.
I remember words buried long ago in my heart： ”I am hungry and you give me food. I am thirsty and you give me something to drink. I am a stranger and you welcome me.
When the last meal has been served and the last diner has gone back into the darkness,! wipe down a steel table in the kitchen and think about what these kids have done. Tonight, no one in Burlington will go hungry.
24. What is the UVM volunteer students' duty?
A. To help the Salvation Army make dinner.

Over the past few months, people in the United States have been watching some unusual television advertisements （广告）.They are unusual because they advertise a product that no American uses now or is likely to use in the future.
The advertisements show that a product called golden rice will help prevent blindness in millions of children.
None of these children live in the United States. They live in countries where white rice forms the main part of the diet. Too much white rice without other food causes lack of vitamin A. This can lead to blindness.
Golden rice has been developed to solve this problem through genetic（基因的）engineering. As well as TV advertisements, most news media carried stories on this great scientific development that would help some of the poorest children in the world.
It could also save the science of genetic engineering. People in Europe and America have learned more about genetically modified（转基因的）food over the past few years. And the more they learn, the less they like what they hear. People like science. And people like to eat food. But they would like the two things kept separate.
The truth is that a child would have to eat 9 kilograms of golden rice every day to get enough vitamin A. And Gordon Conway of the Rockefeller Foundation, which helped the development of golden rice, says that “the advertisements have gone too far.
Perhaps the main purpose of golden rice is to get people to accept genetically modified food. The TV advertisements sent a very clear message——if you don't accept this technology then poor children will go blind. It cost US $ 50 million to get that message across. That would buy a lot of food for poor children.
What do the people who are said to benefit from golden rice think of being part of this great scientific and social argument? Nobody knows. Nobody has asked them.
28. Why do you think children in the USA need no golden rice?
A. They don't need vitamin A. B. They have all kinds of food.
C. It is genetically modified food. D. There isn't enough vitamin A in it.
29. What is the main reason why golden rice is advertised in the USA?
A. Golden rice will prevent blindness in children.
B. Golden rice is the first genetically modified food.
C. People know little about genetically modified food.
D. People have not accepted genetically modified food.
30. According to the text, what kind of food do people in Europe and America like best?
A. Food that is rich in vitamin A.
B. Food produced in poor countries.
C. Food produced with no help from science.
D. Food produced through genetic engineering.
31. What is the author's opinion of the TV advertisements?
A. They are believable. B. They need improvement.
C. They are not telling the truth. D. They are put in a wrong place.
D
A visitor to The Silent Seed can open the door and then bang it with a loud noise. A few feet away, bending over his indoor flower bed, owner Jude Platteborze will never look up.
A light touch on his back, however, makes Platteborze straighten up with a wide smile, nodding. He makes them feel welcome without one word. He has to.
Platteborze, 31, who communicates through sign language, is deaf and hardly speaks. He usually uses a notebook to communicate with customers. He's just as happy, though, if the customers prefer not to talk, choosing instead to relax inside his store and explore the plants he's grown over years of self-taught planting techniques.
The Silent Seed opened a few months ago and was named after a poem his mother, Nancy Haverington, wrote about him when he was a baby and she realized he was deaf.
“Now this is my baby,“ Platteborze said of his store.
He takes care of all of the plants from young plants to their adult stage, and a large part of his business is selling the seeds （种子）.He has traveled across eastern North America collecting different plants and seeds. From those, he grows seeds for the next generation of plants.
To give customers an idea of what their seed purchase（购买）will look like, Platteborze built an oversized flower box in the store. Different kinds of plants are there for visitors to examine and learn about, and to provide the kind of environment that will make people want to stay for a while.
“I want to offer a feeling of peace, and a place where they can just sit and think and share their interest in connecting to nature,“ Platteborze said. "And they can take part of that with them to their house. ”
Platteborze’s mother thinks that his love of plants is connected with his deafness. Deaf babies often have trouble with balance, and it took Platteborze three times the normal amount of time to learn to sit up. As a result, Haverington said, he spent quite a long time belly-side（腹部）down in the grass, nose-to-nose with plants and bugs.
32. How did Platteborze learn how to grow plants?
A. All by himself. B. From his mother.
C. From visitors to his store. D. By travelling in North America.
33. What does the name of the store “The Silent Seed” indicate?
A. A deaf baby. B. Sign language.
C. Growth of plants. D. A peaceful environment.
34. According to the text, Platteborze's love of plants has a close connection to .
A. the way that plants grow B. his deafness in babyhood
C. his mother's encouragement D. his dream of being able to hear
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Getting Close to Nature B. Living in a Silent World
C. Growing Seeds in Silence D. Communicating in Silence

听第10段材料，回答第17至20题。
(Text 10)
Good morning. I’d like to talk about reading today. There are two things that you should do before reading a passage. One is to determine your reason for reading. Are you reading only for the pleasure of it? Or are you reading to search for some facts? Your purpose should decide how you read. Secondly, you should think about what the passage will tell you. What do you already know about that topic? This will help you to have a better understanding of the passage you are preparing to read. When you are ready to read, you should begin by skimming the passage, that is, reading quickly through the passage. In doing so, you should pay attention to the title and note the key words. While skimming, you should always notice the topic sentence of each paragraph. It often contains the main idea of the paragraph. Once skimming is done, you should read through the passage in more detail.

One Possible Version
“And how do you children earn money?” I asked.
“We have many ways to earn money,” he said. “We get up early to sell newspapers in the streets on weekends, or work in the stores in the neighborhood after school. Sometimes we get paid by looking after the neighbors’ children when the parents have to be away from home. Besides, we have a small garden where we grow vegetables all the year around, and we can get money by selling some of them. ”
As we were waiting for the bus, I kept thinking how lucky Mike was. He had a happy family in which the family members got on so well, trusting each other, thinking of each other and caring for each other. Moreover, he had a great mother. Her idea of the money bag not only taught the children the real value of money, but also the true meaning of it. Most importantly, it taught them how to be a person of good character. That day, I also learned a lot from the money bag.
