考试时间：120 分钟总分：150 分

第I卷

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）

第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2分，满分 30 分）

Work is a part of living —my grandparents understood that. They lived and worked on a farm that has

been in my family for 150 years. They raised chickens for eggs, pigs and cattle for meat. Cows were kept

for milk and the cream, from which Grandma made butter and cheese. What little yard they had became a

garden.

The Depression, therefore, didn’t make much change in their lives. But it did bring an unending flow of

men out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm . The first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a

man in rags. He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadn’t eaten for a while. Grandpa stood

watching him a bit, then said, “There’s a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn ( 谷仓). I’ve

been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence. You have just about enough time to finish the

job before lunch.”

Grandma said a surprising thing happened. The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at

once. She set another place at the table and made an apple pie. During lunch , the stranger didn’t say much,

but when he left , his shoulders had straightened. “Nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect,”

Grandpa later told me.

Soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small

old suitcase. Grandpa came out when he heard voices. He looked at the man and then offered a handshake.

“There is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn I’ve been meaning to get it moved. It

will be a help to me. And we’d be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” The fellow set his suitcase aside and

neatly laid his coat on top. Then he set off to work.

Grandma says she doesn’t remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those

Depression days-or how many times that stack of wood got moved.

Sea, sun, sand and South Africa:

Readers’ favourite beaches

The Wild Coast fiveday hike from Kei Mouth to Coffee Bay in South Africa is surely the best

experience for beach lovers.

Robben Island beaches

On a visit to the prison museum here, be sure to leave time to explore the island’s beaches. Few

visitors realise that the island’s shores are the natural habitat of sizable penguins: enjoy watching them with

far fewer tourists here. Bird life is plentiful and includes oystercatchers, ibis, egrets and cormorants.Sharks

and dolphins can often be spotted offshore too.

Sand, sea and sculpture, Durban

There’s more to Durban’s Golden Mile than sunbathing and surfing. Not only is there a gallery of sand

sculptures and drawings, but Lucas, one of the best local artists, offers lessons. His amazing rhino (犀牛) is

the only permanent item in a frequently changing exhibition. Lucas charges a modest R50 ( ￡3) for a fun

and surprisingly physical hour of creativity. Or, you could ask him to create a personalised sculpture for a

special occasion.

Paternoster, Western Cape

Paternoster is a small beach community about 150 km north of Cape Town. The town has a number of

rentals (租赁), all the Cape Dutch architecture you could want for a weekend away and some great food.

Long walks on the beach, eating and drinking and watching the fishing boats make for a peaceful

break.And, unlike in Cape Town, you can dip your toes in the sea without your legs freezing solid.

4. What is the suggested way for travelers to make their trips on the beaches?

B. To attract businessmen to develop the beaches.

C. To share travel tips with beach lovers.

D. To introduce activities to art lovers.

Three experimental fields of seawater rice were harvested in China on Wednesday, a further step

toward its future practical use. Also known as salinealkali tolerant rice (耐盐碱水稻), the seawater rice is

designed to grow in seaside flats or other areas with high salt content and has been developed by experts

through crossbreeding (杂交) and other technologies.

One type of seawater rice growing in Qingdao's Chengyang district,

Shandong Province, produced 3.9 metric tons (公吨) per hectare (公顷), experts

announced. Once widely planted in large areas, the output could be much

higher.

The Qingdao SalineAlkali Tolerant Rice Research and Development Center,

led by renowned Chinese agricultural scientist Yuan Longping, was established several years ago. It set

itself a threeyear target of developing a kind of saltresistant rice capable of producing 4.5 tons a hectare,

which would guarantee growers the minimum acceptable level of profit. The average rice output in China is

6.75 tons a hectare.

Planting in the experimental field in Chengyang district and five other plots of salinealkali land started

at the end of May. The five other plots were in Dongying, Shandong Province; Wenzhou, Zhejiang

Province; Yan'an, Shaanxi Province; Kashgar, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region; and Daqing,

Heilongjiang Province. The sites represent actually every type of salinealkali land in China and researchers

aim to grow different kinds of rice able to cope with different climate, salinity and soil structure conditions.

The test crops in Kashgar and Daqing were also harvested on Wednesday. In Kashgar, the output

reached more than 7.5 tons per hectare, according to experts' tests, much higher than expected. The harvest

in Kashgar was satisfactory. The result means it is possible to plant such saltresistant rice in southern

Xinjiang in the future. Xinjiang has about 2 million hectares of salinealkali land that have the potential to

be planted with saltresistant rice, and if it is widely planted it will generally improve rice production in the

region.

The seawater rice grown in Daqing only produced 3.1 tons per hectare. A live video on Shandong TV

showed growers appearing a little disappointed by the result, as they hoped the experts' efforts would

increase production greatly. The water and soil conditions of the site were not ideal, and the pH level was
