She was kind. People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic class.On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mama asked calmly.“No,” I said.“We are going to volunteer at a childrens shelter today. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldnt stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle tug on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. “Hi. You want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I strive to instill (逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget. 46. The author admired her mom for _.

Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often askedPerhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup（基因构成）as human beingsWhat drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survivalPerhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possibleNearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared forWithout knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the dangerWith knowledge, we can lessen its effectsExploration also allows minerals and other potential （潜在的）resources to be foundEven if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful laterResources may be more than physical possessionsKnowledge or techniques have been acquired through explorationThe techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our livesWe have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systemsEven non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products （副产品）of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save usWhile space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangersThe danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to surviveWithout the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not existWhile Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planetsIt is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future51Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?ATo express his doubts BTo compare different ideasCTo introduce points for discussion DTo describe the conditions on Earth52What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?AHumans are nature-born to do so BHumans have the tendency to fightCHumans may find new sources of food DHumans dont like to stay in the same place53The underlined word spin-offs in Paragraph 4 probably refers to_Asurvival chances Bpotential resources Cunexpected benefits Dphysical possessions54What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?AOur genetic makeup BResources on the earthCThe adaptive ability of humans DBy-products in space exploration55Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?ASpace exploration has created many wondersBSpace exploration provided the best value for moneyCSpace exploration can benefit science and technology.DSpace exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.CAs the first woman Chancellor(总理) in Germans history, Angela Merkel topped Forbes magazines list of “The Worlds 100 Most Powerful Women” in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009.She has even been compared to Margaret Thatcher and many people called her “Iron Lady”Merkel was born in Hamburg, West Germany, on July 17, 1954.Six weeks after she was born, her family moved to Templin.

It is the worlds largest tidal mangrove forest (红树林)It covers 10,000 square kilometers of land at the mouth of the Ganges River in India and Bangladesh (孟加拉国)The study found that wilderness areas cover about 46% of the Earths land surface. However, they are home to less than 2.5% of the worlds population. Nineteen of the wilderness areas have only about one person for each square kilometer. Native people usually live in these areas.Wilderness areas help to influence the worlds weather systems and rainfall. They are also home to many plants and animals. Population growth and the spread of agriculture and mining operations threaten wilderness areas. But just 7% of all such areas have some form of official protection.61.
