her backyard. “as a child, i remember playing among the golden bamboo my dad had planted, and when there was a slight wind, the bamboos sounded really musical.” a fisheries biologist, heinricher, 47, planned to work in the salmon industry in seattle, where she lived with her husband, guy thornburgh, but she found it too competitive. then her garden gave her the idea for a business: shed planted 20 bamboo forests on their seven-acre farm. heinricher started boo-shoot gardens in 1998. she realized early on what is just now beginning to be known to the rest of the world. it can be used to make fishing poles, skateboards, buildings, furniture, floors, and even clothing. an added bonus: bamboo absorbs four times as much carbon dioxide as a group of hardwood trees and releases 35 percent more oxygen.first she had to find a way to mass-produce the plantsa tough task, since bamboo flowers create seed only once every 50 to 100 years. and dividing a bamboo plant frequently kills it.heinricher appealed to randy burr, a tissue culture expert, to help her. “people kept telling us wed never figure it out,” says heinricher. “others had worked on it for 27 years! i believed in what we were doing, though, so i just kept going.”she was right to feel a sense of urgency. bamboo forests are being rapidly used up, and a united nations report showed that even though bamboo is highly renewable, as many as half of the worlds species are threatened with dying out. heinricher knew that bamboo could make a significant impact on carbon emissions (排放) and world economies, but only if huge numbers could be produced. and thats just what she and burr figured out after nine years of experimentsa way to grow millions of plants. by placing cuttings in test tubes with salts, vitamins, plant hormones, and seaweed gel, they got the plants to grow and then raised them in soil in greenhouses.not long after it, burrs lab hit financial difficulties. heinricher had no experience running a tissue culture operation, but she wasnt prepared to quit. so she bought the lab.today heinricher heads up a profitable multimillion-dollar company, working on species from all over the world and selling them to wholesalers. “if you want to farm bamboo, its hard to do without the young plants, and thats what we have,” she says proudly. 56. what was the main problem with planting bamboo widely?a. they didnt have enough young bamboo. b. they were short of money and experience. c. they didnt have a big enough farm to do it.d. they were not understood by other people.57. what does heinricher think of bamboo？a. renewable and acceptableb. productive and flexible.c. useful and earth-friendly. d. strong and profitable. 58. the underlined word “renewable” in paragraph 6 probably means “_”.a. able to be replaced naturally b. able to be raised difficultlyc. able to be shaped easily d. able to be recycled conveniently 59. what do you learn from the passage?a. heinrichers love for bamboo led to her experiments in the lab.b. heinrichers determination helped her to succeed in her work. c. heinricher struggled to prevent bamboo from disappearing. d. heinricher finally succeeded in realizing her childhood dream.bif you enjoyed the spring-like sunshine over the weekend and thought the weather has finally turned a corner, youre sadly mistaken.chilly (寒冷的) days and grey clouds are forecast for the weekmaking it far too early to pack away the winter woollies.temperatures will struggle to rise above zero at night and fail to make double figures during the day.people enjoy the spring sunshine in sefton park, aigburth, liverpool. forecasters have predicted a return to chilly weather this week.met office forecaster charlie said, “it was a nice, dry, bright weekend in many parts and monday is going to be a similar affair for many.”“temperatures will be between 5and 8, which is below average for the start of spring.”the sun will disappear from the south of the country after today, with dry but cloudy conditions forecast for tomorrow and wednesday. wednesday will be warmest of the three, with temperatures peaking at 9.but this is still two degrees below the march average for the district.overnight, temperatures will drop sharply, with lows of minus 3for the next three nights. “it will generally stay on the cold side of average,” said mr. powell.the march misery comes at the end of the coldest winter for more than 30 years. temperatures in december, january and february struggled to stay above zero, with the uks average 1.5, making it the deepest freeze since 197879.it claimed there was just a one-in-seven chance of a cold december to february.the agency also sadly predicted a “barbecue summer”, saying it was “quite optimistic” that it would be warmer and drier than average.following the two mistakes, the met office has dropped its long-range seasonal forecasts and will instead publish a monthly prediction for britain, updated once a week.in its defense, it says that while short-term forecasts are extremely accurate, britains size and geographical position makes long-term predictions much more challenging.it also points out that it gave warning of any heavy falls of snow this winter.60. according to the passage, the weather on tuesday in the south might be _.a. dry but cloudy b. sunny but chilly c. sunny and warm d. cloudy and chilly61. which of the following statements is true according to the passage? a. british people can put away their winter clothes now. b. the met office has shortened its forecast range. c. the weather forecast becomes more and more accurate. d. the agency was quite confident of long-term predictions.62. which of the following would be the best title for the passage?a. the big chill isnt over yet b. a warm spring finally arrivesc. a heavy snow is on the way d. the met office drops forecasts63. from the passage, we can conclude _.a. the weather report is more and more importantb. british people become worried about bad weather c. britain has just experienced a very freezing winter d. the met office can always predict any heavy snow falls accuratelyctwo earthquakes in two months: comparing the quakes in haiti (海地) and chile (智利)overview (概要) how do the earthquakes in chile and haiti compare? here, students perform a gallery walk to learn more about the earthquakes from a specific point, and then do a specific research and presentation project or response activity. finally, they seek answers to their unanswered questions. materials print copies of photographs, charts, documents and other visuals to display, as described below; computer (s) with internet access (optional), research materials, handouts.warm-up choose and prepare a “gallery” of photographs, graphics, news reports and other materials to display around the room to enable students to consider the 2010 earthquake in chile. depending on course program, choose materials for the gallery that provide a window on the two quakes, through one of the following specific points, or the focus of your choice:earthquakes through history putting the 2010 chilean and haitian quakes into historical view related to other earthquakes, including the 1960 chilean quake and the 2004 asian earthquake and tsunami.rescue and aid considering domestic and international response to the disasters by militaries, governments and aid organizations, including rescue and recovery as well as efforts to provide food, water, health care and shelter to those affected.related the article underwater plate cuts 400 mile gash compares several earthquakes:mr. lin figured that the quake on saturday was 250 to 350 times more powerful than the haitian quake.but paul caruso noted that at least on land, the effects of the chilean tremor (震动) might not be as bad. for one thing, he said, the quality of building construction is generally better in chile than in haiti. and the fact that the quake occurred offshore should also help limit the destruction. in haiti, the rupture (断裂) occurred only a few miles from the capital, port-au-prince. the rupture on saturday was centered about 60 miles from the nearest town, chillan, and 70 miles from the countrys second-largest city, concepcin. read the article using the following questions.questions for discussion with others and reading comprehension: how does the 2010 chilean earthquake compare to the 1960 chilean earthquake? why do scientists believe that the 2010 chilean earthquake will not cause the same level of damage as januarys haitian earthquake did?how does the 2010 chilean earthquake compare to the 2004 indonesian earthquake?what reasons do scientists give to explain why the indonesian quake caused so much more damage than the recent chilean earthquake?64. which of the following shows one of the reasons for slighter losses in chile than in haiti? a. position: b. power:65. we can infer that the article underwater plate cuts 400 mile gash includes _. a. the causes of the 2010 chilean earthquake and the 1960 chilean earthquakeb. the comparison between the 2010 haitian and the 2004 indonesian earthquakesc. the reason for the 2010 chilean quake being more powerful than januarys haitian earthquaked. the reason for less damage in the 2010 chilean quake than in the 2004 indonesian earthquake66. what is the passage most likely to be? a. a program for research. b. a guide to earthquake study.c. an advertisement for students.d. an introduction to quakes.dquickly, the picture comes alive with hyperlinks (超链接), offering the names of the buildings, towers and street features that appear in the photo. the hyperlinks lead to information about the history, services and context of all the features in the photo. you have just hyperlinked your reality.that might be a little unbelievable, but the technology exists and is no fevered imagination. this is not a cool small machine invented for the next james bond movie; this is a working technology just developed by european researchers. it could be coming to a phone near you, and soon.this, as the marketing types say, is a game changer. it develops a completely new interface (界面) that combines web-technology with the real world. it is big and fresh, but it goes much further and has much greater influence. the development of the system is most outstanding because image recognition technology has long been pregnant with promise, but seemed to suffer from an unending labour.now mobvis has not only developed image recognition; it has also developed more applications for the technology; and it has adapted it to the worlds most popular technology: the mobile phone.the mobvis system completely rewrites the rules for exploration and interaction with your physical environment. the system begins with panoramas (一连串景象). these panoramas form the basis of a city database. it can match buildings, towers, banners and even logos that appear in the panoramas. a user simply takes a picture of the street feature, mobvis compares the users photograph to the panoramas and then identifies the buildings from the picture you take and the relevant links are returned. then you simply click on the links, using a touch-screen phone, and the mobvis system will provide information on the history, art, architecture or even the menu, if it is a restaurant, of the building in question.67. which is introduced in the passage?a. a new game software. b. a popular mobile phone.c. a cool s
