She works as a model and earns as much as $2,000 a day in front of the cameras. She has modeled for top magazines in Paris, Rome, Tokyo, and throughout the United States.Aria’s father was a police officer who really loved his work. But he retired two years ago as he had something wrong with his left leg, which made him unable to walk sometimes. Aria would rather follow in her father’s footsteps than go on with her mode ling career. She remembers listening to her father tell stories when he came home after a day on duty. The excitement, tension (紧张) and risks of police work attracted her when she was a little girl.Aria got started in the modeling business quite by accident. She accompanied a friend to an interview at a modeling agency. Her friend wanted the job. Aria didn’t. The people at the agency were impressed with Aria’s appearance and poise. They knew she would look great in front of the cameras. So they sent her on her first modeling job right away.Though she was very successful as a model, Aria never gave up her dream of being a police officer. She passed the written exam for the New York Police Department. She planned to enter the Police Academy as quickly as possible.

Aria has a dream and works toward itBA sandstorm, also known as a dust storm, is exactly what it sounds like. A very strong windstorm especially in the desert carries clouds of sand or dust that greatly reduces visibility. This wind is usually caused by convection currents (对流气流), which are created by intense heating of the ground, and is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes (沙丘). Air is unstable when heated, and this instability in the air will cause higher winds to mix with winds in the lower atmosphere, producing strong surface winds.Sandstorms can disturb people’s travel, and can sometimes destroy whole roa ds, and dry flat areas. Similar dust storms can be found on the planet Mars, and are thought to be seasonal. Today, the destruction of forests and too much farming of farmland can lead to sandstorms. Too much use of water resources can also cause sandstorms.In the United States of America, sandstorms are rare because of the lack of large deserts and more importantly the development of proper agricultural techniques. The last recorded destructive sandstorm in American history was the Dust Bowl, which occurred on July 16, 1971 and was widely recorded by meteorologists (气象学家).To protect themselves from sandstorms, some people wear protective suits. Special equipment can be fixed in some cars to prevent sand from getting into the engine. Sandstorms can cause coughs, and the sand and dust has also been known to carry “infecti ous diseases”. Sand particles, unlike dust ones, will block air passages, and cause a person who breathes them in to choke. Dust particles may cause an allergic (过敏的) reaction.60. Which of the following plays the first part in forming sandstorms?A. The instability of the sand.B. The instability of the wind.C. The speed of the wind.D. The intense heating of the ground.61. From the second paragraph, we can learn that at present _______.A. sandstorms are more often seen on Mars than on EarthB. human activities are a major cause of sandstormsC. farming brings more harm than benefits to humansD. sandstorms have led to the lack of clean water resources62. Why are sandstorms not common in the USA?A. Because there are few deserts.B. Because there is not much agriculture.C. Because of the use of proper agricultural techniques.D. Because of research on sandstorms by meteorologists. 63. The last paragraph mainly talks about _________.A. how to protect oneself against sandstormsB. the harm that sandstorms can do to people’s healthC. the differences between sandstorms and dust stormsD. how to lead a normal life when a sandstorm happens 64. The author will most probably agreethat ________.A. humans should make more efforts to stop soil turning into desertB. humans haven’t thought of any way to deal with sandstormsC. death caused by sandstorms is increasing all the timeD. there will soon be no sandstorms in the USACThe debate (争论) over children from other European countries in Britain’s schools was refired after the country’s leading head teachers told TheObserverthat rising numbers of foreign pupils are putting some schools near the breaking point.Members of the National Association of Head Teachers will this week tell the government that the problem is starting to change the culture of some schools. Some heads said the situation was “out of control”.Though head teachers think the new pupils have great ability and they should be welcomed into schools, they are worried that they do not have enough money to deal with the situation.“There is a feeling among some of our members that this is out of control and no one knows the final solution,” said Mic k Brookes, general secretary of the NAHT. Brookes who will give evidence this week to the government added, “Some schools just don’t know how many immigrant children they will have to admit.” He said that while schools could take in one or two foreign pupils, some were struggling with the sudden large increase in the number of children from overseas.Clarissa Williams, head of Tolworth Girls’School in Kingston upon Thames, south London, said she received £1,300 a year from the government to cover the costs of teaching English to foreign pupils but was having to spend £30,000 of her own budget to keep pace.On Tuesday, the association will tell the House of Lords that education budgets (预算) have not kept pace with the increase in the number of pupils for whom English is a second language, or not spoken at all, who have entered Britain since the European Union expanded (扩大).65. According to the passage, what’s the main reason for the debate?A. Foreign pupils bring their own cultures into Britain.B. Teachers work harder than before while getting paid less.C. The number of foreign pupils has increased too fast.D. The government doesn’t listen to the head teachers.66. How much more does Clarissa Williams need to receive from the government to cover the costs of teaching English to foreign pupils each year?A. £1,300.B. £1,700.C. £30,000.D. £28,700.67. From the passage we know that ________.A. pupils from other countries can not speak EnglishB. many schools have already reached the breaking pointC. British schools have profited from the expansion of the European UnionD. the expansion of the EU has brought many foreign pupils to Britain68. Which of the following actions may most probably be taken by the government to solve the problem?A. Close down some schools.B. Drive away some foreign students.C. Hire more English teachers.D. Increase education budgets.DIn 1857, Austrian monk Gregor Mendel who is considered to be the father of genetics (遗传学) decided to breed (培育) pea plants in a large garden. He loved studying plants and devoted himself to his experiments with pea plants.Mendel noticed that all of his pea plants had different characteristics: some had green seeds, and others yellow; some had tall stems and others short. He was curious about this. He decided to experiment with the pea plants to discover why. The first characteristic that Mendel tested was height. When he took several short plants and pollinated (授粉) them by himself, they produced seeds that all grew to be short. Then, he self-pollinated several tall plants, and the resulting seeds grew to be tall. He was surprised. However, he bred a new group of tall plants with short plants and found that all the offspring were tall. Not a single seed of this F1 generation grew to be short. At first, Mendel believed that the shortness characteristic had disappeared, but when he self-pollinated the F1 offspring, the F2 generation had a mix of both tall and short plants. It was very clear that the shortness characteristic hadn’t disappeared!From this, he concluded that traits, or characteristics, come in pairs — one from each parent and that one trait will be stronger than the other.Mendel studied other traits besides height. Afterwards, Mendel sent his report to the most famous botanist in Europe, but it was not paid attention to. It was nearly forty years after his death that his research — the beginning of genetics, was rediscovered and found to be true.69. What may have been the reason why Mendel devoted himself to the experiments with pea plants?A. He had great interest in studying plants.B. He wanted to be a well-known scientist.C. He wanted to be remembered as the father of genetics.D. He was influenced by his father who was a great scientist.70. It can be inferred from the passage that Mendel’s findings ____.A. were not paid attention to by the famous botanistB. were proved to be wrong while he was still aliveC. didn’t make him well-known when he was aliveD. were only about the height characteristic of pea plants71. According to Mendel, the second generation of the mix breeding of tall plants with short plants may produce ____.A. tall plants onlyB. short plants onlyC. both tall and short plantsD. new kinds of plants72. What is this passage mainly about?A. The development of biology.B. The most famous scientist in the world.C. How to produce new kinds of plants.D. Gregor Mendel’s development of genetics.EThe Wal-Mart store in Cleburne, Texas, was jammed. Dozens of people were waiting in long lines at checkout counters to pay for small things that would be next-morning treasures under someone’s Christmas tree.A woman standing in cashier Jeffrey Kandt’s line se emed to be living a very poor life. Her clothes were worn; her hands were those of a person who had worked hard for what she had. She held a Sony Player in her arms as she patiently waited to move to the front of the line. With tax, the total price would be close to $220. She had saved all year for this.As the woman got close to the cashier, she put her hand into her pocket only to find her pocket empty. In horror, she shouted, “Where is my money? All my money for my son’s gift is gone! Dear God!”“Why my line?”Kandt thought as he watched the frantic woman search through her clothes. He was going to have to call his manager to void (使无效) the sale, but it would mean an age for those customers waiting behind. “I’m going to be late for church,”Kandt thought.And then an amazing thing happened. At the back of the line, a man took out his wallet, pulled out $100 and passed it forward. As the cash moved up the line, a twenty-dollar bill was added here, and a ten-dollar bill there. When the collection finally reached the register, Kandt counted $220.Strangers fulfilled a poor woman’s Christmas wish.73. When did the story happen?A. On Christmas Day.B. On Christmas Eve.C.
