21、For many people who live in cities, parks are an important landscape. They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.

One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb much more of the sun’s heat and release it much more quickly than trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect.

Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks. However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投资) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.

Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land. In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetables and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy but also a smart environmental investment.

【1】The underlined word “emits” in the second paragraph probably means _________.

A. takes up   B. gives out

C. carries away   D. breathes in

【2】Which of the following contributes to the Urban Heat Island Effect?

A. More rooftop gardens.   B. More trees and grass.

C. More parking lots.   D. More building materials.

【3】When it comes to rooftop gardens, what can be inferred from the passage?

A. They make people much happier.

B. They provide more benefits from urban parks.

C. They help to save money and keep a healthy diet.

D. They have become very popular in recent years.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards rooftop gardens?

A. Supportive.   B. Doubtful.

C. Critical.   D. Objective.

22、Getting Motivated to Learn

Feeling a little unmotivated to do your schoolwork. That’s natural. It’s hard to stay focused, even when life is fairly normal. When the distractions of life tend to keep you sidetracked (拖延), get moving again with some of the following suggestions.

Don’t let others be a bad influence. “Live for the moment.” “【1】” “Don’t you want to have some fun?” “School’s a joke!” Don’t let them tell you what you want. You know what you want.

Keep your curiosity alive. 【2】 What inspires your curiosity? What do you question or doubt? Getting an education isn’t just about test scores and grades. Occasionally go beyond what your teachers require or what your textbook tells you.

Change your situation. When you find yourself completely unmotivated, you may need to change your situation. When you have a choice, seek out instructors who will inspire and encourage you; avoid those with whom you don’t seem to connect. If you find yourself with a teacher you feel isn’t the best for you, try changing your class schedule. 【3】

Use your talents and abilities. Do you have an essay to write or a speech to make? 【4】 Is music your passion? Be creative and use your talent to make your next class presentation.

Remember your dreams. What are your dreams for the future? Perhaps, you dream of writing the great American novel one day. You love writing fiction, but you feel stifled (窒息) with the writing assignments you’re given in school. 【5】 When you’re writing that essay, though, remember that those writing skills you’re learning and perfecting — even those boring grammar rules — can be applied to all of your fiction writing.

A．That’s understandable!

B．Forget that stupid class.

C．That’s impossible.

D．What are you interested in?

E．Pick a topic in which you are talented.

F．How can you keep away from boring lessons?

G．Don’t be afraid to drop a class and add another.

23、It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking, and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.

He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.’’ I thought it could be just about anything. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught up in the business of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise.

Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window, I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花) throughout the front lawn — blue, yellow and my favorite pink, with little faces moving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?

My father’s crocuses bloomed (开花) each spring for the next five seasons, always bringing the same assurance: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon.

Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses, so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs (块茎植物). But I never did. He died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.

On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual — my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.

How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadn’t bloomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.

Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but it built my faith for a lifetime.

【1】According to the first three paragraphs, we learn that .

A．it kept bothering (使烦恼) the author not knowing what the surprise was

B．it was not the first time that the author’s father had made a surprise

C．the author was unpacking when her father was making the surprise

D．the author knew what the surprise was because she knew her father

【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A．The author usually felt depressed in the season of winter.

B．The crocuses bloomed each spring before her father died.

C．The author’s father planted the crocuses to lift her low spirits.

D．The author often thought about her father after he died.

【3】The author’s father should be best described as .

A．a part-time worker who loved flowers

B．a kind-hearted man who lived with faith

C．a full-time gardener with skillful hands

D．an ordinary man with doubts in his life

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Crocuses — My Source of Faith

B．Crocuses — Father’s Hobby

C．A Pink Crocus — My Memory

D．Crocuses in Blossom — My Favorite

24、   On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

I turned around to find a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old.”

“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” I asked. She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel.”

I knew she was joking. I was curious (好奇) what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

“I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom (智慧) and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.

At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”

“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change...”
