26、   June Haimoff narrowly avoided stepping on a loggerhead turtle on Turkey’s southern coast more than 30 years ago.This experience Changed her life and the future of the beach she was wandering along.

Already attracted by the 4 km area of sand, which forms a natural barrier between the Mediterranean Sea and the freshwater entries of the Dalyan River, she set up home there in the 1980s and soon fell in love with the turtles.

Three decades later, the 95-year-old Englishwoman still has a small house overlooking Iztuzu beach, which she has campaigned to protect from developed and to preserve(保护) as a natural environment where the threatened turtles can produce their young.

When I first saw a sea turtle breeding, I watched without moving.I remember tears in my eyes,” she says.“From that day I started to collect any kind formation about them that I could.”

In 1987, Haimoff and a group of friends fought successfully to block a hotel construction project which would have endangered the turtles’ breeding ground on the beach.

Since then the beach has remained under protection.All construction is banned as well as artificial lighting(人工照明) at night when holidaymakers are kept away and Nile turtles come ashore to lay their eggs.

After its conservation success, Iztuzu also became a regional focus for turtles, with the establishment 10 years ago of the Sea Turtle Rescue Centre, which treats injured turtles from beaches across Turkey.

Haimoff, fondly known as “Captain June” because of her love of the sea, teaches visitors about those threats (威胁) to the turtles, and trains her young students in environmental preservation.“I’m a woman in love with the turtles,” she says.

【1】Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “breeding” in paragraph 4?

A.Dying. B.Wandering. C.Laying eggs D.Making homes.

【2】How does Haimoff help the turtles?

A.By developing the economy of the area.

B.By teaching people about the threats to turtles.

C.By collecting turtles eggs along the coast.

D.By proving artificial lighting in the evening.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.lztuzu beach---in danger of disappearing

B.lztuzu beach---perfect birthplace of turtles

C.Captain June--- a great teacher at an old age

D.Captain June--- a kind protector of the turtles

27、

Only 10 hours remained before Typhoon (台风) Muifa was due to make landfall in eastern China. Su Dike and his teammates decided to head to Zhoushan, Zhejiang province, from Ningbo to encounter the storm.

Their car hadn’t been on the road long before they came across tire trouble and they had to immediately rent a car and move their equipment in the rainstorm. They finally made it to Zhoushan and found a good position to record the typhoon.

There were few people or cars on the road when they saw trees falling down under the force of strong winds and street lamps blinking out in the heavy rain. After some 10 minutes, the rain suddenly became lighter and the wind turned softer, meaning that they were now in the eye of the typhoon.

“While chasing (追赶) the storm, we collected a lot of information. We hope the information can help people to better understand such storms,” Su says in his video, recording this exciting adventure (探险).

“People may think we — storm chasers — are looking for excitement, but we actually shoulder the responsibility for each chase, as we need to get to the deepest point of a storm to get first-hand information that will help us to deal with future climate change,” he explains.

Su employs a spirit of exploration while using almost all of his spare time chasing storms, which means not running around blindly, but preparing by doing research. “The chase itself is hot-blooded, but it also needs a cool head. It’s a mixture of science and excitement,” Su says.

【1】What’s the probable meaning of “encounter” underlined in paragraph 1?

A．Avoid.

B．Control.

C．Meet.

D．Prevent.

【2】What happened while Su Dike was in the center of the typhoon?

A．It was not raining so hard.

B．The wind was stronger.

C．Street lamps went out.

D．Trees fell down.

【3】What is the real purpose of storm-chasing adventures?

A．To become popular.

B．To collect information.

C．To share videos.

D．To look for excitement.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Weather forecast

B．Chasing storms as a hobby

C．Typhoon warning

D．Running around blindly

29、"Your husband, wife, or sweetheart probably doesn't come to work with you every day," says Brittany Solomon. But his or her influence clearly does.

Solomon, a Ph. D. candidate in psychology at Washington University in St. Louis, recently led a study analyzing the careers and personalities of about 5,000 married people, aged 19 to 89, over a five-year period. About 75% were in two-career couples.

The conclusion: Employees of both sexes who scored highest on three measures of occupational success — salary increases, promotions, and job satisfaction — all went home at night to mates with the personality type known as "conscientious." These are people who are reliable, consistent, detail-oriented, and organized. The study result will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Psychological Science.

Note to singles: If you're aiming high at work, you might want to settle down with someone conscientious. Psychologists often sort out people according to four other broad measures: openness, outgoingness, agreeableness, and neuroticism (神经质). Although previous studies show that "people tend to look for a potential mate with a high degree of agreeableness and low neuroticism, our findings suggest that anyone with ambitious career goals would be better off looking for a supportive partner with a highly conscientious personality," Solomon notes.

A mate's conscientiousness boosts career success in three ways, the study found. First is what the researchers call "outsourcing," which means it's a lot easier to concentrate on your next brilliant idea at work if someone else can be counted on to make sure the dog has all his shots, the car gets inspected on time, and the kids are fed. Also, the ability to depend on a significant other cuts down on overall stress and makes work-life balance easier to manage, for men and women alike.

But beyond the day-to-day being practical, a conscientious partner can have a subtler, more pervasive influence. "Conscientious people tend to be resilient in the face of setbacks, and they're thorough. They finish what they start," says Solomon. Over time, those features can rub off on a spouse. People often unconsciously try to equal those they live with — and the qualities we associate with 'conscientious' types are the same ones that lead to success in a career.

【1】Which of the following qualities is what you can't find on a conscientious person?

A．Trustworthy.

B．Orderly.

C．Careful.

D．Neurotic.

【2】Why does the author refer to the dog, the car and the kids?

A．To give examples of what a conscientious mate should be like.

B．To explain how one's mate's conscientiousness promotes one's career.

C．To describe what qualities can make a conscientious mate.

D．To stress the reliability of the final conclusion drawn from this study.

【3】Which of the following expressions can explain the underlined phrase "rub off" in the last paragraph?

A．Erase off.

B．Wipe out.

C．Get influence.

D．Have effect.

【4】Through the passage, the author mainly tells us_________.

A．conscientiousness is a must for career success

B．one's mate's personality influences one's career success

C．one's mate's personality promotes one's occupational success

D．conscientious persons are more suitable for ambitious ones
