He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind. When Doctor Gibbs wasnt saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle. “No pains, no gains”. He hardly Watered his new trees, an attitude which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water. So, instead of watering his trees every morning, hed beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attention. Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that Id watched him plant some 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity seemed to benefit Doctor Gibbs trees in ways that comfort and ease never could. Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately Ive been thinking that its time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to encounter hardship. Theres always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we wont be torn apart.1.

It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc.Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976. There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened Sudan, Ivory Coast, Reston, Bundibugyo, and Zaire. The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 out- break, and is believed to be attacking Guinea. Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats, which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on their blood. Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids of the infected animals. Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.Unfortunately, there are no disease - specific treatments for Ebola. Health - care workers only supply the infected people with physiological saline（生理盐水）to keep them in good condition. Ebola can kill 90% of those infected, especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa. Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the infected. The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.Whats worse, since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the influences of Ebola are huge damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries. It is feared that the disease may spread throughout west African countries. For every country, a strong health system can decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of Ebola.28. What is the function of the first paragraph in the whole passage? A. To arouse the readers concern. B. To summarize the whole passage. C. To give a detailed description of Ebola. D. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.29. What can we infer about the Ebola virus?A. It has caused a panic in many countries. B. It is the most dangerous virus in the world.C. A strong health system is important to fight against Ebola. D. Anyone who was infected Ebola will die.30. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us _. A. What the Ebola virus is B. How the Ebola virus spreads C. How the Ebola virus is treated D. How the Ebola virus affects the life31. Which of the following is tree?A. There are no effective drugs to treat Ebola by far. B. Ebola is now very common in Guinea.C. Those with a fever must be infected by Ebola. D. Females are easier to be infected by Ebola.参考答案、28-31 ACBA 【2014诊断性测试】阅读下面五篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Many of us dream of having thousands and thousands of dollar to spend on what we desireWe can buy lottery tickets, enter contests or spend hours building a business or invest in thestock market. We are sure that when we have plenty of money, we will be happy While having some money does have an impact on our level of happiness, having a lot ofmoney does not. It is reported that Americans whose income goes from $20,000 a year to $50,000a year are more likely to be happy. But beyond $50,000, happiness does not increase as salariesgo up. It is because we are never satisfied. Catherine Sanderson, a psychology professor atAmherst College says, We always think if we just had a little more money, wed be happier. Butwhen we get there, we are not. Daniel Gilbert, a psychology professor at Harvard notes,The more you make, the more youwant. The more you have, the less it brings you joy. We incorrectly assume weIl get morepleasure from more, and we dont. The things money can buy dont make you happy either. A lot of research suggests that youwont find the good life buying expensive toys. You finally buy that BMW youve alwayswanted and it soon loses its appeal. Then, instead of wondering if a new car is what really makesyou happy, you decide you just need a different new car. It is an endless cycle. To really be happy, you need to understand what makes you happy in the first place. Onesecret of happiness is people. Surveys have found that people need people. Those who have five ormore close friends are 50% more likely to describe themselves as very happy. Good relationshipshave a far greater effect on happiness than larger salary. Andrew Oswald, an economist atEnglands University of Warwick says, B you are looking for happiness in life, find the righthusband or wife rather than trying to double your salary. So invest your time and energy in people. The reward is much bigger in terms of happiness!31In Paragraph 1 the author intends to tell us the belief that A. we are unhappy because we often lack money B. people can buy what they want if they have enough money C. more money will make ones dreams come true D. happiness will result from more money32.

Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the PacificOcean for almost two decades. Weve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and wetry and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key thingsthat we measure is COx levels. And Weve been able to record this increasing quantity ofatmospheric CO, into the ocean. Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and一more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance ofthe sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular. As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid,carbonic acid, Dore explains. And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goesup and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it moreacidic. The seawater samples Dow and his colleagues have analyzed confirm what the theory predicts.The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meter
