He didnt look like any other doctor Id ever known. 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 pain, no gain”. He hardly watered his new trees, 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 twenty five years ago. They were all 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(逆境) seemed to benefit Doctor Gibbs trees in ways 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 meet with hardship. Theres always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is pray for deep roots, so when the rain falls and the winds blow, we wont be torn apart.5. With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often .A. kept watering them every morning B. beat them to make them grow deep rootsC. talked to them to get their attention D. paid little attention to them6. Which prayer does the author wish for his sons?A. Have an easy life, without too much to worry about.B. Be able to stand the rain and winds in their lives.C. Have good luck, encountering less hardship in their life.D. Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.7. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?AA Nice Doctor BThe Deep RootsCAdversity and Suffering DMy Childhood MemoryCBarbara McClintock was one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century. She made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes(染色体).Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. Her family moved to the Brooklyn area of New York City in 1908. Barbara was an active child with interests in sports and music. She also developed an interest in science.She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics.Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a Masters degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate.McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s was not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the Great Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand.An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Morton Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory. It was a research centre on Long Island, near New York City. McClintock started in a temporary job with the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent position in the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid.By the 1970s, her discoveries have had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize.8. When did McClintock get a doctorate degree?A. In 1921. B. In 1923. C. In 1925. D. In 1927.9.

If humans carry on like this, we will need two earths by 2030. The population of wildlife has fallen by 60% in thirty years.The report said British people are consuming (消耗) far more than the earth can deal with. If everyone lived such a lifestyle, humans would need 2.75 planets to survive. People are now living lifestyles which would require 1.5 planets, though there are great differences between rich and poor nations.Researchers studied the global change in land use and water consumption. The UK comes 31st in a list of countries based one “ecological footprint (生态足迹)” that measures how much land and sea each person needs to produce the resources they consume and to absorb (吸收) the wastes. The UK has fallen down from 15th place in the last report two years ago to 3lst place, but the WWF believes it is an increase in other countries efforts rather than a reduction in the UKs use of resources.Ireland has the 10th highest ecological footprint, while the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Denmark, Belgium and the US are the five worst countries for over-consumption of resources. The study suggests if the expected global population of 9.2 billion in 2050 were to eat a Malaysian diet, 1.3 planets would be needed but if everyone were to eat an Italian diet, humans would need almost two planets. Those countries that can provide the highest quality of life using the lowest amount of resources will not only serve the global interest, but will be the leaders in a resource-limited world.12. We will probably need _earths if we follow the British lifestyle.A. 1.3 B. 2.75 C. 2 D. 1.513. What do we know about “eco logical footprint ”?A. It has something to do with human demands for resources and their wastes.B. It is used to produce the resources and absorb the wastes.C. We can know the total amount of resources on the earth through it.D. It is about changes in land use and water consumption across the globe.14. The WWF believes that_.A. the earth wont be able to meet human needs after 50 years.B. the UK has possibly not reduced the use of resources over the past two years.C. Ireland has a lower ecological footprint than the UK.D. there are no big differences in lifestyle between rich and poor nations.15. It can be learned from the text that Malaysia_A. has a larger population than Italy.B. consumes fewer resources than Italy.C. would need almost two planets.D. has the highest quality of life.第二节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My father once worked for a big company.
