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

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 social advocate, and

she

was

particularly

30

with

an

ideal

New

England,

which

she

associated with abundant Thanksgiving meals that she claimed had

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

Little Lamb

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

other

people

pretended

that

someone

else wrote the poem

A)

campaign

B)

career

C)

characters

D)

features

E)

fierce

F)

inspired

G) latter H) obsessed I) proclamation J) rectified K) reputed L)

rest M) supposed N) traditional O) versatile

Section B

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with

ten

statements

attached

to

it.

Each

statement

contains

information

given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which

the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than

once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions

by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

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 rainfall. 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.

farming I'm aiming for is literally so that people can survive as

it's going to get more and more dry,

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

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

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
