bench somewhere. twenty-one years later i am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. my grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. she was the first in our family to reach that goal. but one year after i started college, she developed cancer. i made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. it meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. then i got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. in 1999, we adopted our first son. to lay eyes on him was fantastic-and very emotional. a year later came our second adopted boy. then followed son no. 3. in 2003, i gave birth to another boy. you can imagine how fully occupied i became, raising four boys under the age of 8. our home was a complete zoo-a joyous zoo. not surprising, i never did make it back to college full-time. but i never gave up on the dream, either. i had only one choice: to find a way. that meant talking as few as one class each semester. the hardest part was feeling guilty about the time i spent away from the boys. they often wanted me to stay home with them. there certainly were times i wanted to quit, but i knew i should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.in 2007, i graduated from the university of north carolina. it took me over 21 years to get my college degree！i am not special, just single-minded. it always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when youre in the midst of it, it just seems normal. everything you want wont arrive in your life on one day. its a process. remember；little steps add up to big dreams.38. what can we learn about the author from paragraphs 4 and 5?a. she

extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions（排放）. those that have taken early

love himself and will be successful in his own way.several weeks ago，i was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines.i kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he should concentrate better. he sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again.i was getting frustrated, but then it hit me.i

was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success.this child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.now those same people

preservation of the world.” this is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. the frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved. as john sauven of greenpeace uk points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. the urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real. some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans needthe rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. to mr.sauven, these ”ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.lee lane, a visiting fellow at the hudson institute, takes the opposing view. he acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. but that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. there are ever more people on the earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. while the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. if they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.i look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. one challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. and there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.this is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. what position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.67. john sauven holds that_. a. many people value nature too much b. exploitation of wildernesses is harmful c. wildernesses provide humans with necessities d. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong68. what is the main idea of para. 3? a. the exploitation is necessary for the poor people. b. wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials. c. useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation. d. all the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.69. what is the authors attitude towards this debate? a. objective. b. disapproving. c. sceptical. d. optimistic.70. which of the following shows the structure of the passage?a. b. c. d. cp: central pointp: pointsp: sub-point(次要点)c: conclusion【试题解析】短文在最后一段提到“this is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. what position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.”。由此结合上文可知，作者对于双方的辩论是持着客观的态度，a选项与此相符。因此，正确答案为a选项。【难度】一般70.【答案】d【试题解析】短文在第1段提出问题，在第2段和第3段分别列出了两方面的观点，第4段作者对两种观点谈了自己的看法，最后一段是全文的结论部分。由此可知，d选项就是短文的结构框架。因此，正确答案为d选项。【难度】一般。【广东省汕头市第四中学2013阶段性联合考试】d“dear anybody. your email address has been chosen by our computer. so, for no reason, wed like to give you a million dollars. all you need to do is give us your bank account numbers. can we interest you in some diet pills? and, by the way, i want to marry you.”i hate to let you down, but there is no “million dollars”. the diet pills dont exist and your future “husband” or “wife” has just proposed to a million others. these and a hundred other stories have been made up to steal your personal information or money or maybe just to infect your computer with a virus. welcome to the world of junk email.junk email or spam is probably the biggest global business thats ever existed. billions of spam emails are sent every day, making up around 80% of all email traffic. these incredible volumes of spam slow down the whole internet and cost businesses millions of dollars just trying to keep up with the next trick.your email programme probably includes a spam filter, which sorts out the mail you do want from the junk. but its impossible to stop it all and if you put together the seconds it takes to see through the deception (欺诈) in each one, they add up to a significant amount of lost time dealing with the spam that does get through.but who could fall for such obvious tricks? probably very few of us one in a million, perhaps. but when you are sending billions of these every day, for next to no cost, it doesnt take a genius to work out that someone is getting very rich.but who? its incredibly difficult to find out. most spam is sent using anonymous networks of infected computers, called “botnets”, some of which are made up of tens of millions of computers across dozens of countries. maybe your own laptop is sending out marriage proposals right now. its enough to put you off using email again!so what can you do
