A pony(马驹) bit me earlier.”As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor, and perhaps thought Id jumped in ahead of him.The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist-heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods, despite sighs asking them not to. By feeding the ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather during the areas annual pony drift(迁移).The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked, the baby ones can be stooped from feeding on their mothers milk, and those whove gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area. Some of them are also later sold, in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England.Three weeks ago, I witnessed a small near-disaster a few miles west of here. While walking, I noticed a pony roll over on his back. “Hello!” I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began to properly worry about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoors Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again.Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area. Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable(可持续的) future for one of Dartmoors most financially-troubled elements.51. Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies?A. To protect the tourists from being bittenB. To keep the ponies off the petrol stationC. To avoid putting the ponies in dangerD. To prevent the ponies from fighting52. One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is _.A. to feed baby ponies on milkB. to control the number of poniesC. to expand the habitat for poniesD. to sell the ponies at a good price53. What was the authors first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back?A. He freed it from the trapB. He called a protection officerC. He worried about it very muchD. He thought of it as being naughty54. What does the author imply about the preservation of Dartmoors ponies?A. It lacks peoples involvement.B. It costs a large amount of moneyC. It will affect tourism in Dartmoor.D. It has caused an imbalance of speciesBWhat Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isnt prerequisite for a modern grow-your-own lifestyle. On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angeles. Loe and her family grow, can(装罐)and preserve much of the food they consume.Loe is a master food preserver. gardener and canning expert. She also operates a website, where she shares her tips and recipes, with the goal of demonstrating that everyone has the ability to control whats on their plate.Loe initially went to school to become an engineer. but she quickly learned that cooking my own food and started growing and preparing her own food. “I got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs(香草) and foods for that fresh flavor,” she said, Engineer by day, Loe learned cooking at night shool. She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods.“I teach people how to live farm-fresh without a farm,” Loc said. Through her website Loe said. Through her website Loe emphasizes that “anybody can do this anywhere.” Got an apartment with a balcony(阳台)? Plant some herbs. A window? Perfect spot for growing. Start with herbs. she recommends, because “theyre very forgiving.” Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level.” She added.” I think its a great place to start.” Then? Try growing something from a seed, she said ,like a tomato or some tea.Can is extension of the planting she does. With every planted food. Loe noted, theres a moment. . bursting with its absolute peak flavor. “I try and keep it in a time capsule in canning jar,” Loe said . “Canning for me is about knowing whats in your food. knowing where is comes form.”In addition to being more in touch with the food shes eating, another joy comes from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children: “Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we cat but understanding the bigger picture.” She said, “that if we dont take care of the earth. no one will.”55.The underlined word “prerequisite”.to “_”A recipeB substituteC. requirementD. challenge56 Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs?A .They are used dailyB.

Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand, Once called the Garden of Amsterdam, it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests. They visit it for relaxing day off from the urban madness. For Dutch people, Hilversum is all about textile（ 纺织） and media industries, and modern architecture.    In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area. Daily life was marked by farming, sheep raising and wool production. A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum. They built themselves large villas(别墅)in the wooded surroundings of the town. One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers, currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands. They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Netherlands. But the textile boom lasted only several decades. The last factory closed in the 1960s.The change to a media economy started in 1920,when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek(NSF) Established a radio factory in Hilversum.Most radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town. Television gave another push to the local economy. Hilversum became the media capital of he Netherlands, and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.In the early 1900s. modern architects W.M. Dudok and J. Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces (杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum. Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristics. Hilversum I own was built in 1928-1931. It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks. The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”. Actually ,one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W.M. Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.59Hilversum is different from most of the Netherlands in that_A. it has a large population.B. it is cut off from big cities.C. it has many beautiful gardens .D. it is in a hilly area with sandy soil.60. What was the greatest contribution of the Brenninkmeijers to Hilversum?A. Building a railway link to Amsterdam.B. Helping the industry to develop.C. Constructing large villas for the poor.D. Assisting its agricultural industry.61. The beginning of the media industry in Hilversum was marked by the establishment of _A. a radio factory.B. the media capital.C. a radio station.D. a TV station62. What is known about W.M . Dudoks Hilversum Town Hall?A. It consists of approximately 75 buildings.B. It looks like an open air museum in the city.C. It is a classic example in architecture textbooks .D. It has shaped most of 20 century Hilversum.DThe oddness of life in space never quite goes away .Here are some examples.First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet(芭蕾) dancer. ”Im an inside guy.” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station.”I like to be wrapped up.”On the station ,the ordinary becomes strange .The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, its just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravit
