Part III
Reading
Comprehension
(40 minutes)
Section A
Directions:
In
this
section,
there
is
a
passage
with
ten
blanks.
You
are
required
to
select
one
word
for
each
blank
from
a
list
of
choices
given
in
a
word
bank
following
the
passage.
Read
the
passage through
carefully before making your choices. Each choice
in
the
bank
is
identified
by
a
letter.
Please
mark
the
corresponding letter for each item on
Answer Sheet 2
with a single
line through the centre. You may not
use any of the words in the
bank more
than once.
Did
Sarah
Josepha
Hale
write
“
Mary
’
s
Little
Lamb,
”
the
eternal
nursery rhyme
(
儿
歌
)
about a girl named Mary with a stubborn lamb? This
is still disputed, but
it
’
s clear that the woman
26
for writing
it was one of
America
’
s most fascinating
27
. In honor of the
poem
’
s
publication
on
May
24,
1830,
here
’
s
more
about
the
28
author
’
s
life.
Hale
wasn
’
t just a writer, she
was also a
29
was
particularly
social advocate, and she
30
with an ideal New England, which she
associated with abundant
Thanksgiving
meals that she claimed had
“
a deep moral
influence.
”
She
began a nationwide
31
to have a
national holiday
declared that would bring families together while
celebrating the
32
festivals. In
1863, after 17 years of advocacy
including letters to five presidents, Hale
got it. President Abraham Lincoln,
during the Civil War, issued a
33
setting aside
the last Thursday in November for the
holiday.
The true authorship
of
“
Mary
’
< br>s Little Lamb
”
is
disputed. According to
the
New
England
Historical
Society, Hale
wrote
only
part
of
the poem,
but
claimed
authorship.
Regardless
of
the
author,
it
seems
that
the
poem
was
34
by
a real event. When young Mary Sawyer was
followed to school by
a lamb in 1816,
it caused some problems. A bystander named John
Roulstone
wrote a poem about
the event. Then, at some point, Hale herself seems
to
have helped write it. However, if a
1916 piece by her great-niece is to be
trusted, Hale claimed for
the
35
of her life that
“
some other people pretended
that someone else
wrote the
poem
”

ten
statements
attached
to
it.
Each
statement
contains
information
given in one of
the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which
the information in derived. You may
choose a paragraph more than
once.

paragraph
is
marked
with
a

Grow Plants Without Water
[A]
Ever
since
humanity
began
to
farm
our
own
food,
we
’
ve
faced
the
unpredictable
rain
that
is
both
friend
and
enemy.
It
comes
and
goes
without much warning,
and a field of
lush
(
茂
盛
的
)
leafy greens one year can dry up and blow away the
next.
Food security
and
fortunes
depend on sufficient rain, and nowhere more so
than in
Africa,
where 96%
of
farmland
depends
on
rain
instead
of
the
irrigation
common
in
more
developed
places. It has consequences: South
Africa
’
s ongoing
drought
—
the
worst
in
three
decades
—
will
cost
at
least
a
quarter
of
its
corn
crop
this year.
[B]
Biologist
Jill
Farrant
of
the
University
of
Cape
Town
in
South
Africa
says
that
nature
has
plenty
of
answers
for
people
who
want
to
grow
crops
in
places
with
unpredictable
rain
fall.
She
is
hard
at
work
finding
a
way
to
take
traits
from
rare
wild
plants
that
adapt
to
extreme
dry weather and use them in food crops. As the
earth
’
s climate
changes and rainfall becomes even less
predictable in some places, those
answers will grow even more
valuable.
“
The
type
of
farming
I
’
m
aiming
for
is
literally
so
that
people
can
survive
as
it
’
s
going
to
get more and more dry,
”
Farrant says.
[C]
Extreme
conditions
produce
extremely
tough
plants.
In
the
rusty
red
deserts
of South Africa, steep-sided rocky hills called
inselbergs rear
up from the plains like
the bones of the earth. The hills are remnants
of an earlier geological era, scraped
bare of most soil and exposed to
the
elements. Yet on these and similar formations in
deserts around the
world,
a
few
fierce
plants
have
adapted
to
endure
under
ever-changing
conditions.
[D]
Farrant
calls
them
resurrection
plants
(
复
苏
植<
/p>
物
).
During
months
without water under a harsh sun, they
wither, shrink and contract until
they
look like a pile of dead gray leaves. But rainfall
can revive them
in
a
matter
of
hours.
Her
time-lapse
(
间
歇
性
拍
摄
的
)
videos
of
the
revivals
look
like
someone
playing
a
tape
of
the
plant
’
s
death
in
reverse.
[E]
The
big
difference
between
“
drought-
tolerant
”
plants
and
these
tough
plants:
metabolism.
Many
different
kinds
of
plants
have
developed
tactics to weather
dry spells. Some plants store reserves of water to
see them through a drought; others send
roots deep down to subsurface
water
supplies. But once these plants use up their
stored reserve or
tap out the
underground supply, they cease growing and start
to die.
They may be
able
to
handle
a
drought
of
some
length,
and
many
people
use
the
term
“
drought
tolera
nt
”
to
describe
such
plants,
but
they
never actually
stop
needing
to
consume
water, so Farrant
prefers
to
call
them drought resistant.
[F]
Resurrection
plants,
defined
as
those
capable
of
recovering
from
holding less than
grams of water per gram of dry mass, are
different.
They
lack
water-storing
structures,
and
their
existence
on
rock
faces
prevents
them
from
tapping
groundwater,
so
they
have
instead
developed
the ability to
change their metabolism. When they detect an
extended dry
period,
they
divert
their
metabolisms,
producing
sugars
and
certain
stress-associated
proteins and other materials in their tissues. As
