hills and the stars appear in the sky The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house Every window in our wooden house has a view and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before Each look reminds us where we are There is space for our three boys to play outside to shoot arrows collect tree seeds build earth houses and climb trees Our kids have learned the names of the trees and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation As they tell all who show even a passing interest maple makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees The air is clean and fresh The water from the well has a pleasant taste and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water they never say anything against that The seasons change just outside the door We watch maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars putting out the first green leaves of spring The rainbow smelt fills the local stream as the ice gradually disappears and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter A family of bird rules our skies and flies over the lake 41 What can be learned from Paragraph 2 A The scenes are colorful and changeable B There are many windows in the wooden house C The views remind us that we are in a

B B Daily C I left university with a good degree in English Literature but no sense of what I wanted to do Over the next six years I was treading water just trying to earn an income I tried journalism but I didn t think I was any good then finance which I hated Finally I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher I loved working with books although the job that I did was dull I had enough savings to take a year off work and I decided to try to satisfy a deep down wish to write a novel Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55 000 words It takes confidence to make a new start there s a dark period in between where you re neither one thing nor the other You re out for dinner and people ask what you do and you re too ashamed to say Well I m writing a novel but I m not quite sure if I m going to get there My confidence dived Believing my novel could not be published I put it aside Then I met an agent 代理商 who said I should send my novel out to agents So I did and to my surprise got some wonderful feedback I felt a little hop that I might actually become a published writer and after signing with an agent I finished the second half of the novel The next problem was finding a publisher After two and a half years of no income just waiting and wondering a publisher offered me a book deal that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck of fate really When you set out to do something different there s no end in sight so to find myself in a position where I now

online learners worldwide Beginning this fall a number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be offered online through a new 60 million program known as edX Anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses Harvard President Drew Faust said during a meeting to announce the plan MIT has offered a program called OpenCourseWare for ten years that makes materials from more than 2 000 classes free online It has been used by more than 100 million people In December the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate known as MITx for people who complete certain online courses Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120 000 people signed up for the first MITx course She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open source edX platform Fasten your seatbelts Hockfield said Other universities including Stanford Yale and Carnegie Mellon have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online The Harvard MIT program will be monitored by a not for profit 非盈利的 organization based in Cambridge to be owned equally by the two universities Both MIT and Harvard have provided 30 million to start the program They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful 53 According to this text edX is A a part of the free MIT OpenCourseWare B a free computer program by MIT and Harvard C a Harvard MIT platform of free online courses D a free program online for universities worldwide 54 What is said about online education in the text A

C It is a standard to recognize online learners achievement D It is a new kind of free online course of Harvard and MIT E Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted in reaction to climate change which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world changing some living patterns scientists say Increased carbon dioxide CO2 in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth Predicting species reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology said the researchers of several U S universities They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services The study published on the Nature website uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1 634 species It found that some experiments had underestimated the speed of flowering 8 5 times and leafing by 4 times Across all species the experiments under predicted the speed of the advance for both leafing and flowering that results from temperature increases the study said The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plats will react to climate change it said Plants are necessary for life on the Earth They are the base of the food chain using photosynthesis to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet Scientists believe the world s average temperature has risen by about 0 8 since 1900 and nearly 0 2 every ten years since 1979 So far efforts to cut emissions of planet warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2 this century a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common leading to drought floods crop failures and rising sea levels 57 What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1 A Plants reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems B The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists expectation C Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns D Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather 58 We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that A plants flowering is 8 5 times faster than leafing B there are 1 634 plant species on the four continents C scientists should improve the design of the experiments 8 D the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change 59 Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because A they can prove the climate change clearly B they are very important in the food chains C they play a leading role in reducing global warming D they are growing and flowering much faster than before 60 What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the world s temperature A It has risen nearly 0 2 since 1979 B Its change will lead to weather extremes C It is 0 8 higher in 1979 than that of 1900 D It needs to be controlled within 2 in this century 第二节 根据对话内容 从对话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 选项中有两项多余选项 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 10 分 What
