was time to work harder than ever i continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons i even decided to take a class at a community（社区）college this class at the community college saved me $650 it was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the universityduring my second and third years of undergraduate schooling, i decided to work about five hours per week in the campus（校园）admissions office answering phones this provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out the overall situation looked hopeful as i approached my senior year as long as i could make as much money as i had the previous summer i wanted to go to israel to study for 3 weeks, but i hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in israel about two weeks later my mom called to tell me that i had $1,600 in the bank that i had forgotten about! one of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, i made as much that summer in the ten weeks when i was at home as i had made during the fourteen weeks when i was at home the summer before the way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to methis experience has shaped me in many important ways the first thing that i learned was the importance of a strong work ethic （伦理） working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar it also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations56 where did the writer probably work part-time before attending the university?a in a restaurant b in the tennis campsc in a company d in the admissions office57 the writer took a class at a community college mainly because_ a she wanted to save money b life there was relatively easyc summer time was tiring d it was required by the university58 the writers major concern about the trip to israel was that _ a her mother would not give her approval b she would fail to get credits in israel c a well-paid summer job would be lostd $1,600 couldnt be drawn out in time59 the passage is mainly about how the writer _ a made money on the college campusb managed to make full use of her vacationc was forced to support herself by her motherd was shaped by working part-time through college bthe james dyson award winners for 2011 have been announced, and the grand prize winner is a machine edward linacre of swinburne university of technology in melbourne has tapped the namib beetle（纳米比甲虫）a desert creature that survives in the extremely dry conditions on earthto create an irrigation system that can pull liquid straight out of dry desert airairdrop, as the system is known, borrows a trick from the namib beetle, which can live in areas that receive just half an inch of rain per year by harvesting early morning fogs from the air that gathers on its back during the early morning hours its skin helps to collect water drops passing in the wind, which then become liquid waterairdrop mimics this idea, in a larger amount, though the self-powering machine pumps water into a network of underground pipes, where it cools enough for water to condensate （凝结） from there the water is delivered to the roots of nearby plants linacres math shows that about 115 milliliters can be harvested from every cubic meter of air, and further development could raise that number even highersuch a system as airdrop could provide regular water to plants being grown in the worlds driest areas and because it is low cost and self-powered, the $14,000 award from dyson （linacres university also gets an additional $14,000） should help speed that along60 what does airdrop have in common with the namib beetle?a it has a useful irrigation systemb it looks exactly the same as the beetlec it pulls water drops out of dry desert aird it works only in the early summer morning61 it can be learnt that _a airdrop cannot work without a trained operatorb edward linacre designed a robot named airdropc airdrop works much better during harvest seasonsd airdrop is based on the research of the namib beetles trick62 the underlined word “mimics”（in paragraph 3） most probably means _a ignores b refuses c copies d recommends63 we can infer from the passage that _a linacre will share the prize of $14,000 with his universityb farmers in the dry areas will benefit little from this inventionc airdrop will be further improved and become more effectived all kinds of costs of airdrop will become higher and higherclangston hughes is usually thought of as a poet but
