When my teacher took me outside，my sister ran up to me. She started crying，“Shes gone. Teresa，mommys gone.Shes dead.” I couldnt believe it. We jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital.Most of my families were there. The silence was terrible.

But weeks later，back home，Rhett Butler got the news that trees had been cut down in the area he visited.That experience led Rhett Butler to begin writing a book about rainforests and threats to their existence.But he did not publish the book.Instead，in 1999，he used his research for the book to create a website.The site is Mongabay. His purpose was to inform the public about tropical rainforests. But the subject quickly developed.As a former businessman，he became a respected writer of science and environmental stories.The popularity of Mongabay. attracted advertisers. Small ads on the site pay for its operations. Mongabay. has grown and led to other sites.For example，there is a site for children which is called kids.Mongabay. Another one，Wild M，is also about the island nation that Rhett Butler calls his favorite place.To keep his website going，he travels around the world on several major trips each year.His working tools are a laptop puter，cameras and sometimes diving equipment.He often calls on experts for information.For example，he interviewed Alison Jolly，a top experts on lemurs(狐猴)He interviewed Rodney Jackson，a biologist who established the Snow Leopard Conservancy.Stories like these have made Mongabay a favorite place on the Internet for researchers，students and teachers.In April，Time. named it one of the fifteen top climate and environment websites in the world.25Whats the main idea of the passage?ARhett Butler and his website. BRainforest on Malaysian Borneo.CHow Rhett Butler protected rare animals. DHow Rhett Butler made his website popular.26Rhett Butler didnt publish his book about rainforests because _.Amaking websites earns more money than writing booksBhe didnt want to bee a writerCthe book was not about rainforest protectionDhe wanted to use the information to create a website27Which of the following is NOT true about the Mongabay.?AIt was set up in 1999.BIt attracted many advertisers.CAt least two related websites grew from it.

FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the devices on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously，most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼)，and new devices appear continually. Before buying，it is up to judge the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.29It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are _.Aobjective Bcostly Cunreliable Dillegal30Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AThe court is in charge of removing dangerous products.BNew products are more likely to be questionable.CThe production of a device must be approved by FDA.DThe promoters usually just care about profits.31The Relaxacisor is mentioned as _.Aa product which was designed to produce electricityBa product whose distributor was involved in a legal caseCa successful advertisement of a beauty productDan example of a quality beauty product32The author intends to _.Amake consumers aware of the promoters false promisesBshow the weakness of the law on product safetyCgive advice on how to keep young and beautifulDintroduce the organization of FDADAlices Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most loved childrens books of all time，and many adults enjoy it as well.It tells the story of a young girl named Alice，who follows a rabbit entering a magical world called Wonderland. She has many experiences which seem to change the rules of reasoning or mon sense.The popularity of the book es from its imagination，interesting story，and art work.The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll.In fact，Lewis Carroll was not the writers real name.His real name was Charles Dodgson.One day，he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family. To keep them entertained on the ride，he told them a story in which Alice，the middle child，was the main character.They enjoyed the story very much.Charles later wrote the story down under the name Alices Adventures Under Ground and gave it to Alice as a Christmas present.Later，he gave a copy to his friend George MacDonald. George read it to his children and they loved it. George suggested to Charles that he make a book from his story. Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35,000 words.It was first printed in 1866，with art work by John Tenniel，under the name Alices Adventures in Wonderland. The book was an immediate success.One of its first fans was Queen Victoria.She immediately requested a collection of all of Lewis Carrolls works.She was surprised to find that they included many works on math.In fact，Charles Dodgson was a highly respected mathematician.This can be seen in many puzzles and plays on reasoning that appear in his books and poems.Since the story was first printed，it has kept selling up to the present day.It has been translated into over fifty languages and has had several movies based on it. The story is even mentioned in the popular 1999 film The Matrix by the character Morpheus.33The passage is mainly about_.ACharles family lifeBa girls adventurous experiencesCa magical world called Wonderland Dthe birth of a book and its lasting influences34Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AThe writer published his works under his real name.BThe character Alice originated from Georges child.CJohn contributed partly to the popularity of the book.DCharles offered a copy to George for advice.35We can learn from the passage that_.AQueen Victoria asked for a few of Charles writingsBCharles had a gift for reasoning and writingCCharles had all his works translated into fifty languagesDThe Matrix was based on Alices Adventures in Wonderland 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。 Going to college is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown.
