The plane lost power in both engines just minutes after take-off from LaGuardia Airport outside New York City. Initial reports from the Federal Aviation Authority （FAA） suggested the plane's engines stopped after it hit a flock of birds. All passengers and crew survived the crash（撞机）.Ms Cowan emerged from a rescue raft（救生筏）,wet and cold, but uninjured. Afterwards,Ms Cowan managed a brief chat to mother Wendy at their Swan View home. She said, “Mum, can you believe I've survived a plane crash? I don't really feel like it had sunk in what a miracle this is." The young woman has lost all her luggage and travel documents, and a laptop of music backing tracks.“But, as she said to me, it was the choice between the lifejacket and the purse," Mrs. Cowan said. “The thought of treading water without a lifejacket would have been unbearable.Mrs. Cowan said her eldest daughter had carefully planned the trip for two years and intended to visit friends in North Carolina.The holiday was not intended for work, but Emma was open to any opportunities that arose for singing in the US, Mrs. Cowan said.“She'll continue to have a great time while she's over there/9The family, staunch （忠实的）Christians, say it was the hand of God that saved their daughter.“It wasn't her time to go.”What happened to Emma Cowan on a cold January day in ?A.

In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world's natural resources（资源）.How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity（生物多样性）of our earth.Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment （环境）protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares today's Walden Pond with that of Thoreau5s day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years. Van the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species（物种）are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas in this book.59. We learn from the text that Wilson cares most aboutA. the environment for plantsB. the biodiversity of our earthC. the wastes of natural resourcesD. the importance of human valuesHow many species are most important to our present food supply?A. Twenty.B. Eighty.C. .One hundredD. Ten thousand.60. Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to.A. learn how to farm scientificallyB. build homes for some dying speciesC. make it clear what to eatD. use more species for foodWe can infer that the text is.A. a description of natural resourcesB. a research reportC. a book reviewD. an introduction to a scientist.CPeople believes that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you're wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms（体育馆）.Here, people are learning on climbing. The climbing wall goes straight up and small holding places for hands and feet.How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes and a harness（保护带） around your chest to hold you. There are ropes（绳索）tied to your harness . The ropes hold you in place so that you don't fall. A beginner's wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it's easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it's not. The most difficult is to control your fear. It's normal fbr humans to be afraid of falling, so it's difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.Climbing attracts people because it's good exercise fbr almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.61. What can we infer from the passage?A. People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays.B. It is impossible to build up one's body by climbing.C. People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.D. It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.62. The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is.A. to tie ropes to yourB. to control your fearC. to move away from the wallD. to climb straight upThe word “workout” underlined in the last paragraph most probably means.A. settlementB. exercise C. excitementD. tirednessWhy does the author write this passage?A. To tell people where to find gyms. B. To prove the basic need for climbingC. To encourage people to climb mountains. D. introduce the sport of wall climbingDHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments mostly for entertainment purposes -is fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections'' of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats（栖息、地）. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species（物种）,but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals' natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species9 name, diet, and natural range（分布区）.The animals9 normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don't usually take care of the animals' natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical
