Born on May 27,1907 in Springdale,Pennsylvania, Rachel Carson became an avid explorer as well
as reader, and took an interest in writing stories.By age 10, she had published her first story in St.
Nicholas. She would often read this magazine, as well as many others that concerned the natural world.
In 1925, she finished at the top of her class in high school in a class of 45 students.
Carson would go on to attend the Pennsylvania College for Women,which is known as Chatham
University now. This is where she would end up pursuing the sciences,in this case biology. She would
eventually attend Johns Hopkins University in 1929, continuing her studies in zoology and genetics.
Carson completed her Master' s in zoology in June of 1932, and went to work at a local radio
station. Here she would write educational broadcasts for a weekly radio show called Romance Under
the Waters. This led her to her job at the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, and she became just the second
woman to be employed by the bureau.
In 1951, Carson had her book The Sea Around Us published,which explains the complexity of the
ocean to non-scientists. Carson wrote the book with poetry and science, and she intended to spark in her
readers a sense of the fragility of the world' s ecosystem. The Sea Around Us made Carson the voice of
public science in America, an internationally recognized authority on the oceans,and established her
reputation as a nature writer of the first rank.
In 1962,Carson became well-known when her most famous book Silent Spring was published.
This book described the negative effects of pesticides on the environment. Her concern with pesticides
dated back to the 1940s,but no one would take her seriously until this book was finally published. On
April 14th,1964,Carson passed away due to a heart attack but her work towards preserving the
environment has continued to this day. Silent Spring was even republished in 1994 with an introduction
from then vice-president Al Gore.
24．What do we know about Carson's early life?
A．She was a great fan of St. Nicholas.
B．She worked part-time at a radio station.
C．She pursued the sciences in high school.
D．She moved to Springdale at the age of 10.
25．According to the text, The Sea Around Us ______.
A．is a science book for professionals
B．was published after Carson passed away

The canyons (峡谷)of America's Southwest are deep, ancient openings in the earth. They look as if
they formed as the earth split.
Forty million years ago, the Colorado River began cutting through the area around the present-day
Grand Canyon. The river carried dirt and pieces of stone that slowly ate away at the surrounding rock. It
left a pathway of enormous rock openings. At the same time, forces deep within the earth pushed up the
surrounding land. Rain, snow, ice, wind and plant roots rubbed at the top of this new canyon. Below, the
river continued to uncover more and more levels of ancient rock.
The Grand Canyon measures 2, 500 meters from the canyon floor to its highest point. Because of
its size, the weather at the top of the canyon is often much different from that at the bottom. On some
winter days, for example, you may find cold winds and snow at the top .But at the bottom of the
canyon, you may find warm winds and flowers.
The Grand Canyon is home to some 2, 000 plant species. Some of these species can only be found
in the park. The park is also home to more than 370 species of birds, 90 kinds of mammals and 40 kinds
of reptiles. Many of the birds spend the whole lives in the Grand Canyon. Other species depend on the
Grand Canyon for food and shelter during large migrations. The Grand Canyon was named the Globally
Important Bird Area in 2014 because of the role it plays in protecting many species of birds.
In 1869, John Wesley Powell from the USA explored the Grand Canyon. He recorded much of
what we know today about the area. Powell and his group traveled in four boats along the Colorado
River. He and his group of explorers knew very little about getting over the fast waters of the Colorado
River. In many places, boats could be turned over by giant waves.
28．It was _______ that formed the Grand Canyon.
A．the force from rain, snow and ice
B．the force from earthquakes
C．the force from the earth
D．the combination of natural forces
29．What is the correct order for the narration(叙述) of the passage?
①exploration ②introduction ③climate ④formation ⑤species
A．②④③⑤① B．①②③④⑤ C．②⑤③①④ D．②①③④⑤
30．We can infer from the passage that________.
A．the Grand Canyon attracts millions of visitors worldwide
B．the Grand Canyon is home to adventurous people
C．it took thousands of years to form the Grand Canyon
D．the environment of the Grand Canyon is perfect for wildlife
31．which magazine can mostly likely contain this passage？
A．National Geography.
B．Art and Culture.
C．Traveling Abroad.
D．Science Fiction.

Tears not only deliver oxygen and nutrients to our eyes and remove waste, but also contain various
chemicals originally present in blood, some of which serve as markers of some diseases. That's a
primary reason why doctors order blood tests. But it also means that physicians — and maybe in the
near future, you — can look for signs of illness by looking at your tears.
Scientists have already found that markers of many serious diseases including cancers are found in
tears. And recently, a technology named Tear Exo has been developed for breast cancer screening using
tears collected by patients themselves. That could offer a cheaper way of testing and aid in the earlier
detection of deadly disease.
But the potential advantages of tears as indicators of health go beyond occasional testing. One tear-
based technology is a small contact lens that continuously monitors a patient's biomarkers, significantly
improving disease prevention and detection. It has attracted the attention of some major companies such
as Novartis, and is currently under development in research laboratories around the world.
More recently, a smart contact lens has been successfully developed for continuous monitoring and
treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Such a product probably won't be ready for commercial use in several
years. But according to Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, about 45 million people in the U.S.
already wear contact lens to correct their sight. Switching to a smart version would be simple for them.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the potential in tears beyond crying. Tears can
provide an inexpensive, rapid and easy-to-use choice to monitor health. Given the advantage of tear
technology, such technology will almost certainly bring about more effective prevention of diseases—
rather than having to deal with the difficulty of treating them.
32．In which way do people benefit from Tear Exo?
A．Preventing breast cancer. B．Saving time for screening tests.
C．Reducing the costs of testing. D．Detecting some diseases earlier.
33．What can we infer about the smart contact lens?
A．It has a promising future. B．It can improve patient's sight.
C．It is available on the market. D．It monitors eyesight continuously.
34．What is the author's attitude to tear technology?
A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Cautious.
35．Which can be a suitable title of the text?
A．What role do tears play? B．Tears contain high levels of chemical.
C．How can we prevent tears? D．Your eyes may save your life someday.
