A family is a collection of people who share the same genes but cannot agree on a place to pull over for lunch. Ed and I, plus his parents and sister Doris and eight-year-old niece Alisha, were on a road trip to Yosemite. Ed wanted Subway, I wanted In-N-Out Burger, and Doris wanted Sonic. In the end, we compromised (妥协) on McDonald’s, where Alisha would get an action figure.
It was a three-hour drive to Yosemite, but we were taking a little longer, as we were working in a tour of Highway 80’s public restrooms. As the saying goes, “Not one bladder (膀胱) empties but another fills.” Many of these restrooms belonged to gas stations. I preferred them to the high-tech ones on planes.
We got back on the road. Ed was driving now. When all the newspapers had been read, the travel had grown tedious and anyone under age 12 asked “Are we there yet?” at ever-shortening internals. Just outside Manteca, California, we stopped for coffee. At a Starbucks checkout, Ed bought a CD of Joni Mitchell’s favorite musical picks. The hope was that it would have a calming effect.
As we pulled back onto the highway, it started to pour. Then something amazing happened. As we climbed the mountain, the rain turned to snow. The pines were spotted with white. We were struck dumb (说不出话) by the scene outside. For a solid 15 minutes, everyone forgot about their bladder, their blood sugar and the temperature. Alisha had never seen snow, so we pulled over to make snowmen and catch snowflakes on our tongues. Then Ed realized we needed tire chains, and we had to turn back and drive 30 miles to Oakhurst. “Good,” said Doris. “There is a very nice restroom there.”
24. Where did the family have lunch?
A. At Sonic. B. At Subway. C. At McDonald’s. D. At In-N-Out Burger.
25. Why did the family spend so much time going to Yosemite?
A. They stopped a few times for gas. B. They went to the toilet frequently.
C. They met bad weather. D. They rested a long time.
26. What does the underlined word “tedious” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Boring. B. Difficult. C. Educational. D. Comfortable.
27. How did the family feel when it snowed?
A. Upset. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Relaxed.
C
Fish cats are a kind of cats that love water and love to fish. They are like tigers and lions, only much smaller, around twice the size of our average pet cats. They live in wetlands of South Asia and mangrove (红树林) forests of South and Southeast Asia. Like many endangered species, fish cats were in danger of dying out more than twenty years ago, mainly because of the great international need for fish food and the people’s cutting of the mangroves at an extremely fast speed.
Mangroves of Southeast Asia are home to a great many fantastic species, like fish cats, turtles, shorebirds and others. Mangroves can protect soil, and they can be the first line of protection between storms, tsunamis and the millions of people who live next to them. The fact is that mangroves can store almost five to ten times more CO2" than other forests. So protecting mangroves may well be like protecting five to ten times more of other forests.
Ten years ago, in South India, many people came together to change the future of their home. In less than 10 years, with international support, the state forest departments and the local people worked together to restore over 20,000 acres of unproductive fish and shrimp (虾) farms back into mangroves. Now experts are working with them in helping study and protecting the mangroves as well as the species living in them. Fish and shrimp farmers are now willing to work with experts to test the harvest of nature protection like fishes, turtles and other species in mangroves. The local farmers are encouraged to protect and plant mangroves where they have been lost. A win-win-win for fish cats, local people and the global ecosystem is being built.
28. What made the fish cats endangered?
A. Cutting of mangroves and lack of water." B. Less food and overcutting of mangroves.
C. Natural enemies and environment pollution. D. Being too large and needing too much food.
29. Why are mangroves so important?
A. They can prevent extreme weather. B. They help plants grow better on the soil.
C. They can take in CO2 effectively. D. They are perfect home to all species.
30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Changes of South India in 10 years. B. Ways of turning farms into forests.
C. Efforts to protect the mangroves. D. Work in protecting shrimps.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Fish Cats and Mangroves Protection B. The Importance of Mangroves
C. Ways to Protect Fish Cats D. Man and Nature

What is talent? Are you born with it? Or does it seem to develop over time? Before I start, I’d like to say that one thing everyone agrees on is that the most skilled musicians have worked hard to get there.
While it’s true that a few of us had enough “talent” to avoid extra practice to do just as well as those who did, those who worked hard easily beat us. It is, in fact, very likely that if some of us “talented ones” had actually been practicing and improving our skill, we would have achieved a whole different level.
Another aspect of talent seems to be heart and passion (酷爱). The people I see who are the most talented musicians are crazy about music. They eat, breathe, and live with music and they make an extraordinary effort to make it part of their lives. As Remus Badea said, desire for the musician-to-be is significant for them to be successful. This desire is easily found in those considered to be talented. When you want and love something so bad, it drives you and your entire character can be shaped around it. Such determined passion seems to produce incredible skill and talent.
The third aspect of talent is having talent around you. When surrounded by talented musicians, it only seems natural that you start to catch up to their level. Take a look at almost any group of musicians in history. The more talented people in the group the more talented the group is as a whole. A great example of this is the relationship between audio producer (音乐制作人) and artist. The artist turns up to the studio with their song, and as they work through recording it, the audio producer will often suggest various changes to the song to make it better.
32. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Pride goes before a fall. B. It’s never too old to learn.
C. Practice contributes to talent. D. Talent determines achievements.
33. What is the key to success according to Remus Badea?
A. Passion. B. Character. C. Skill. D. Effort.
34. Why is the example mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To prove talents need team spirit. B. To introduce what real talents are.
C. To explain how a song is recorded. D. To show the benefits of being with talents.
35. What might the author probably agree with?
A. Music has no limits. B. Music favors the talented.
C. Musicians are born with talent. D. Musicians are created, not born.

A few of the treasures inside the book did go missing. But ever slowly and 68 (gradual) they too began reappearing in Lewis’ life.
