driving,finding it ugly and boring.She preferred to take winding country roads to hergrandmothers hospital.When she drove through the rocky town of Harpers Ferry,the beauty of the rough waters wasalways 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 ofbeauty during one of her trips.Along the shoulder of the highway,there was a long stretch of wild flowers.They were thinand 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 abunch from the soil.She carried them into her grandmothers room when she arrived at the hospital and placed them in avase by her bed.For a moment her grandmother seemed more lucid（清醒的）than usual.She thanked Mary for the flowers,commentedon their beauty and asked where she had gotten them.Mary was overjoyed by the ability of the flowers to wake somethingup inside her sick grandmother.Afterwards,Mary began carrying scissors in the car during her trips to visit her grandmother.She would quickly glideonto the shoulder,jump out of the car,and clip a bunch of flowers.Each time Mary placed the flowers in the vase,hergrandmotherseyes 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 ahurry to get to her grandmother that she sped past her flower spot.She decided to turn around,head several miles back,andcut a bunch.Mary arrived at the hospital to find her grandmother very weak and unresponsive.She placed the flowers in the vaseand sat down to hold her grandmothers hand.She felt a squeeze on her fingers.It was the last conversation they had.59.Mary preferred to take country roads to the hospital because she could _.A.get on highway 81 more easilyB.pick wild flowers for her grandmotherC.enjoy the natural view along the roadsD.spend less time driving to the destination60.When Mary placed the flowers by her grandmothers bed,her grandmother _.A.was overjoyed by the flowersB.commented on Marys beautyC.came alive at the sight of the flowersD.was curious about the type of the flowers61.From the passage,we know that _.A.Mary discovered the wild flowers along the country roadsB.Marys last conversation with her grandmother was a silent oneC.Mary headed several miles back because she sped past the hospital英语第5页（共 12 页）D.Marys grandmother had passed away before she arrived at the hospital62.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 CSeeds on IceSeeds on IceClose to the North Pole,remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in theNorwegian archipelago of Svalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effortto safeguard agriculture.In this cold and deserted environment,no grains,nogardens,no trees can grow.Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out ofsolid stone is a room filled with humanitys most precious treasure,the largestand most diverse seed collection-more than a half-billion seeds.A quiet rescue mission is under way.With growing evidence that uncheckedclimate change will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity ofcrops around the world,the Svalbard Global Seed Vault represents a major steptowards 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 andanother 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 lockeddoors,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,seedsof most major crops will remain viableviable for hundreds of years,or longer.Seeds of some are capable of retaining their abilityto 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 theNorwegian government should have approved and funded it.But back in 2004,when the Seed Vault was proposed,it wasviewed 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 Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options sothat humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change.If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples thosegene banks had lost,this would repay our efforts.The Seed
