After reading it, he said, “I dont think this is up to your usual standards.” I said, “I need more information. What doesnt work?” He said he wasnt sure. I then took the letter and reread it.He asked, “How about if I look at it again and make notes between the space?” I agreed. A half hour later I looked at his notes and told him he didnt understand the situation and what I really wanted to express. He shrugged (耸肩) and said OK. I took the letter and went back to my computer and again revised. As I was writing, I could see my letter improving based on his suggestions. When I finished, I proudly handed the letter back to my husband. He read it for the third time and said, “Its still not right but I couldnt exactly say.” I was a little annoyed and then told him I was the writer and I had seen some goofy letters he sent out. But I picked up my letter and went back to the computer.After an hour of revisions, I went back to my husband apologetically with letter in hand. I told him I was sorry for what Id said and asked if he would please read the letter again because I did value his contribution. Being a very patient and kind-hearted fellow, he once again read my letter and declared that it was fine.This all leads me to the following: When you ask for advice on a project, be appreciative and grateful. Understand that the advice and suggestions you get may be negative. Understand that it may mean more work for you. And keep in mind that the final responsibility for the project is still yours. So be modest and thankful even if he or she has noted some problems.34Why did the author give her business plan to her husband at first?A. To show off her excellent work.B.

But unlike the zoos other residents, they are not real animals. These creatures are actually huge sculptures and theyre made entirely out of plastic trash from the ocean. These giant artworks, along with 14 others, are part of a traveling exhibit called “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea”. The Washed Ashore project, led by artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi, works to raise awareness about the problem of plastic pollution in Earths oceans.More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the worlds oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces. It often collects in spots called garbage patches, which spread over large areas of the ocean.Thousands of marine animals-including whales, sea turtles, and fish-die each year from eating or getting stuck in plastic bags and other items. Plastic pieces can also injure coral and kill sea grass.Washed Ashore and other organizations are working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 3000 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 sculptures of marine creatures that were harmed by plastic pollution.The artworks on display at the National Zoo include a 20-foot-long coral reef, a 12-foot-long shark, and a 16-foot-long parrot fish. Each one is made from hundreds of pieces of trash like water bottles and sunglasses.“These sculptures are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity on land and in the sea,” says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.38. Why is Angela exhibiting her sculptured animal? A. To prove her talent in sculpture. B. To attract most visitors to the zoo. C. To care about the plastic pollution in seas. D. To teach the people the use of plastic.39. What is stressed in Para. 3 according to the text? A. Why plastic is difficult to break up. B. What problems plastic litter causes. C. Where plastic pieces go at last. D. How garbage patches are formed.40. What are Washed Ashore volunteers doing? A. Collecting pollution trash from the beaches. B. Turning trash from the ocean into art. C. Raising 38,000 pounds for plastic pollution. D. Surveying the data of plastic litter in oceans.41. Which of the following best describe Dennis Kellys attitude to Pozzis sculpture? A. Doubtful B. Supportive C. Negative. D. Indifferent DMount Hood is the highest mountain inOregon, a state in the westernUnited States. At 3,400 meters it is attractive (有吸引力的) to many people, some of whom, of course, run into trouble. Each year 25 to 50 people have accidents or get lost onMount Hoodand require rescue. Although most of these are understandable accidents, a few result from careless risk-taking.In one recent case, three experienced climbers went hiking (远足) in the middle of a snowstorm in December. Most hikers climbMount Hoodin May or June when the weather conditions are favorable. But in December, the mountain is covered in snow and ice. Winds up to 135 kilometers per hour blow the snow around making it difficult to see. Temperatures can drop below freezing. As one rescue worker put it, “What were they thinking? They were just asking for it.”During a rescue a few years ago, a helicopter full of rescue workers crashed (坠毁) and the rescue workers were almost killed. Linda Carle, who lives in the Mount Hood area, asks,“If someone made a poor decision, why should rescue teams have to risk their lives to save them? Why do people take unnecessary risks and do things that arent right if they know that they can get into trouble?”Most of the Mount Hood rescue workers are either volunteers (志愿者) or part of the local sheriff s department. There is no charge for these rescues. It is the taxpayers (纳税人) who pay the bill. Linda Carle suggests that people who take careless risks and require rescue should be charged for the rescue. She feels it is only fair that costs for things like damaged helicopters and medical care for rescuers be paid for by the people who took the risks. What would you do if you were the local sheriff atMount Hood?42. What can we learn aboutMount Hood?A. It lies in the south of theUnited States.B. It is the highest mountain in theUnited States.C. The best time to climb the mountain is in May or June.D. Hundreds of people get lost in the mountain every year.43. What Linda Carle says in the third paragraph shows a feeling of _.A. peaceB. prideC. lonelinessD. anger44. According to Linda Carle, risk-takers should _.A. pay for all the costs neededB. learn to save themselvesC. be taxed at a higher rateD. work as volunteers45. The authors purpose in writing the text is to _.A. ask the government to provide more rescuersB. introduceMount Hoodto mountain climbersC. advise climbers to think twice before they actD. report some serious accidents inMount Hood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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you know how to pick a good book youll really like?
