He looks exhausted and carries nothing. He appears along a downtown street, seemingly out of nowhere. We sometimes want to know where he sleeps at night. A few weeks ago he boarded the bus. A few stops later, a young woman boarded. She swiped (刷) her bus-card, only to find the machine would not accept it. The driver told her to pay the $2.25 fare. “I just bought this card,” she said. “I paid the money.” The driver said she could take the card back to the sales office and explain the problem. In the meantime she would have to pay the fare for that day. The woman became confused and distressed. The rest of us just watched, wondering how the problem would be solved. Suddenly the man rose from his seat, dropped a few coins into the fare box. “Youre lucky,” the bus driver said quietly. “He paid for you.” Silence fell over the bus. The rest of us had watched the womans discomfort, but he felt it. We lawyers, journalists and business people headed downtown to help fix the world. He fixed her world.

Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater of active volcanoes. But the 38yearold volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is. “Driving to work is more risky，” she insists. “And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres，” she adds, trying to make it all sound as ordinary as taking the dog for a walk. Hazel has been studying volcanoes for a long time, so its not surprising that she is used to the danger. Her interest in volcanoes began at school. A teacher gave her a book about Pompeii. “I remember reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of the city，” she explains. “The thought of all those people just frozen in time had quite an effect on me and I am still excited by their dangerous beauty today.” Nowadays, volcanoes are getting more and more unpredictable. There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps. These have resulted in some dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more dangerous than ever before. Hazel says that although she doesnt take any unnecessary risk, she has had some frightening moments. Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava. “I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it，” she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream. “I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1，000， so if you hesitated your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decisionthere wasnt time to do anything else.” And what about the future? “I havent been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet. And I would love to spend some time working in the Antarctic，” she says. “I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.” In other words, Hazel Rymer wont be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of Driving to work just yet. 1. Hazels claim that “Driving to work is more risky” than exploring volcanoes shows that _. A. people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the past B. Hazel does not really understand the dangerous situations she puts herself in C. there are many bad drivers in the place where Hazel lives D. Hazel is being modest and understating the dangers she faces 2. When did Hazel first become interested in volcanoes? A. When she was visiting Italy. B. When she was at school. C. When she was twenty. D. When she saw Vesuvius. 3. The underlined word “These” (Paragraph 3) refers to _. A. melting icecaps B. volcanic eruptions C. changes in sea level D. higher temperatures 4. When Hazel was on Mount Etna she had to _. A. take a dangerous route B. take an unnecessary risk C. leave her boots behind D. walk for ten hours around the mountain 5In the future, Hazel wants to _. A. revisit volcanoes she knows B. go on holiday to the Antarctic C. find a less dangerous job D. discover new things about volcanoes(一)【要点综述】 本文主要介绍了火山学家Hazel Rymer对火山的一些研究行动。1D 推理判断题。由此句话的前一句“But the 38yearold volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is.”以及此句话可知，Hazel Rymer说开车上班比对火山进行研究更危险可以得知，她是谦虚的，并且淡化其面临的危险。2B 细节理解题。由第二段第二句“Her interest in volcanoes began at school.”可知她在读书时就对火山感兴趣。3C 代词指代题。由画线词的前一句话“There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps.”可知，是海水高度的变化导致休眠火山的爆发，故C正确。4A 细节理解题。由第三段最后几句“I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it，she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream.I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1，000， so if you hesitated your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decisionthere wasnt time to do anything else.”可知，她选择了从熔岩流中走过，这是一条更危险的路。5D 细节理解题。由最后一段的内容“I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang”可知，Hazel将继续对火山进行研究，并发现一些新的东西。黑龙江省大庆市喇中2016高考英语阅读练习科普环保类Australias koalas could be dying out within 30 years, unless urgent measures is taken to stop the losing in population, according to researchers. They say development, climate change and bushfires have all related to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply. The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years. Previous estimates put the number of koalas at more than 100,000, but the latest figures suggest there could now be as few as 43,000. The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching. The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional(营养的)value of their staple food, eucalyptus leaves, leading to poor nutrition for them. Koalas, which live in the forests in Australias east and south, are very particular about what types of the leaves they eat.Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said: “The koalas are missing everywhere we look. Its really no tree, no me. If you keep cutting down trees you dont have any koalas.”She is hoping the new figures will persuade the governments Threatened Species Steering Committee (TSSC) to list the koala as threatened. But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koalas status as one of the countrys favorite animals would not be a factor. “Theres a number of species which are attractive and people have special feelings towards them. We dont consider that,” Mr. Beeton was reported as saying by the AFP agency.【小题1】The writer gives the example of the area in northern Queensland in Paragraph 3 to show that _. Athe environment is being polluted seriouslyBthe number of koalas is dropping quicklyCthe forests are being damaged heavilyDkoalas usually live in wild mountainous areas【小题2】Global warming is an important cause of koalas reduction because _. Athe leaves koalas eat are losing nutritional valueBkoalas cannot get enough water to drinkCkoalas can hardly stand the hot weatherDthe leaves koalas eat cannot grow in hot weather【小题3】According to Bob Beeton, _. Athey neednt pay special attention to koalasBa decision will be made to protect koalasCkoalas are his favorite animalsDkoalas neednt be protected at all科普知识型阅读理解(二) Europes deadly outbreak of a rare form of Ecoli(大肠杆菌) bacteria has brought new attention to food safety issues. Ecoli bacteria naturally live in the intestines(肠) of humans and many animals. Most kinds of Ecoli are harmless but some can make people sick.One of the problems when people get sick from food is that the simplest question is often difficult or even impossible to answer. Just what did the people eat that made them sick? Of course, one way to avoid such problems is to keep dangerous organisms out of the food supply. This_is_easier_said_than_done,_but scientists keep looking for new ways.Scientists in the United States have developed an experimental system that uses a hightech optical(光学的)scanner. The inspection system is fixed in the packing houses where produce is sorted for market. The system is designed to identify the produce polluted by soil or animal waste. The new scanner can also show damage and imperfections that might make the produce unappealing to shoppers.Scientists designed the system at a Department of Agriculture research centre in Beltsville, Maryland. Moon Kim of the Agricultural Research Service led the team.MOON KIM: “We were requested, we were asked, to develop a method to test the polluted produce. So we started with the apple as the model sample.”The scanner uses a highspeed camera placed over the conveyer belt that moves the produce along. As the apples move along the belt, the scanner captures images of each piece of fruit. A spectrograph device can use the light to check an apple to show evidence of damage. Moon Kim says the team hopes the system will be available before long.MOON KIM: “We are targeting for development in commercial plants for the next several years.”The scanner can direct a sorting machine to separate the bad apples from the good ones. The system is currently able to show the surface of only half the apple as it speeds by. The inventors hope to improve the process so it can show the whole surface.1. The passage mainly talks about _A. the danger of Ecoli bacteria to healthB. the way to avoid getting sick from foodC. a system to test the polluted produceD. the new attention to food safety issues2According to the passage, we know the new scanner _A. has already used in the supermarketB. is perfect to find out the po
