When
her
grandmother
’
s
health
began
to
worsen
last
autumn,
Mary
would
make the drive from Washington, DC to Winchester, V
A every few days.
She
hated
highway
driving,
finding
it
ugly
and
boring.
She
preferred
to
take
winding
country
roads
to
her
grandmother
’
s
hospital.
When
she
drove
through
the
rocky
town
of
Harpers
Ferry,
the
beauty
of
the
rough
waters
was
always appealing to her.
Toward the end of her journey, Mary had to get on highway 81. It was here
that she discovered a surprising bit of beauty during one of her trips. Along
the
shoulder
of
the
highway,
there
was
a
long
stretch
of
wild
flowers.
They
were thin and delicate and purple, and moved back and forth in the wind as if
whispering poems to each other.
The first time she saw the flowers, Mary was seized by an uncontrollable
urge to pull over on the highway and pull a bunch from the soil. She carried
them into her grandmother
’
s room when she arrived at the hospital and placed
them in a vase by her bed.
For a moment her grandmother seemed more lucid
（清醒的）
than usual. She
thanked Mary
for
the flowers, commented on their
beauty
and
asked where she had
gotten
them. Mary
was overjoyed by the ability of the flowers to wake something up
inside her sick grandmother.
Afterwards,
Mary
began
carrying
scissors
in
the
car
during
her
trips
to
visit her grandmother. She would quickly glide onto the shoulder, jump out of
the car, and clip a bunch of flowers. Each time Mary placed the flowers in the
vase,
her
grandmother
’
s
eyes
would
light
up
and
they
would
have
a
splendid
conversation.
One
morning
in
late
October,
Mary
got
a
call
that
her
grandmother
had
taken a turn for the worse. Mary was in such a hurry to get to her grandmother
that she sped past her flower spot. She decided to turn around, head several
miles back, and cut a bunch.
Mary
arrived
at
the
hospital
to
find
her
grandmother
very
weak
and
unresponsive.
She
placed
the
flowers
in
the
vase
and
sat
down
to
hold
her
grandmother
’
s
hand.
She
felt
a
squeeze
on
her
fingers.
It
was
the
last
conversation they had.
24. Why did Mary prefer to take country roads to the hospital
A. To get on highway 81 more easily.
B. To enjoy the natural view along
the roads. C. To pick wild flowers
for her grandmother.
D. To spend less time driving to the destination.
25. When Mary placed the flowers by her grandmother
’
s bed, her grandmother
.
A. was overjoyed by the flowers
B. commented on Mary
’
s beauty
C. came alive at the sight of the flowers
D. was curious about the type of the flowers
26. What do we know from the passage
A. Mary discovered the wild flowers along the country roads.
B. Mary
’
s last conversation with her grandmother was a silent one.
C. Mary headed several miles back because she sped past the hospital.
D. Mary
’
s grandmother had passed away before she arrived at the hospital.
27. What does the passage convey to us
A. Beauty in nature can be
powerful. B. Love has no
beginning or ending.
C. Life is as beautiful as summer flowers.
D. Flowers have the magic to cure diseases.
C
Close
to
the
North
Pole,
remote
and
rocky
Plateau
Mountain
in
the
Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effort
to safeguard agriculture. In this cold and deserted environment, no grains, no
gardens, no trees can grow. Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out
of solid stone is
a
room filled
with humanity
’
s most precious treasure, the
largest and most diverse seed collection more than a half- billion seeds.
A quiet rescue mission is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked
climate
change
will
seriously
affect
food
production
and
threaten
the
diversity of crops around the world, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault represents
a major step towards ensuring the preservation of hundreds of thousands of crop
varieties. This is a seed collection, but more importantly, it is a collection
of
the
traits
found
within
the
seeds:
the
genes
that
give
one
variety
resistance
to
a
particular
pest
and
another
variety
tolerance
for
hot,
dry
weather.
Few
people
will
ever
see
or
come
into
contact
with
the
contents
of
this
vault. In sealed boxes, behind multiple locked doors, monitored by electronic
security systems, enveloped in below-zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons
of
rock,
hundreds
of
millions
of
seeds
are
protected
in
their
mountain
fortress.
Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain,
seeds of most major
crops will remain
viable
for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are
capable of retaining their ability to grow for thousands of years.
Everyone
can
look
back
now
and
say
that
the
Seed
Vault
was
a
good
and
obvious idea, and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved
and
funded
it.
But
back
in
2004,
when
the
Seed
Vault
was
proposed,
it
was
viewed as a crazy, impractical, and expensive idea.
We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired,
fed up, and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The
