Pei Shengji, manager of Zhonglong Food, headquartered in Shouguang, said the harvesting of the companys 65-hectare carrot growing base in Fujian is in full swing. All of the carrots will be processed and shipped to overseas markets.Whats more, Shandong province is developing seeds to meet diverse needs for quality crops, which helps to support the agricultural sector. “The seed developed domestically brings rich harvests. The Chinese cabbage tastes good and is good for being preserved,” he said. Besides, its much cheaper than foreign seeds.Unlike Li, who can choose quality Chinese cabbage seeds developed in China, Pei has to spend more buying foreign seeds because there are no domestically developed carrot seeds available. According to Weifangs five-year plan, the seeds of medium-and high-end vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli and carrots will be researched and developed.24.

Five rare new species have been discovered in recent years. The region has spent 12.2 billion yuan ($1.9 billion) on ecological protection projects in recent years. Five cities and three counties have been named as national-level ecologically civilized model cities and counties, and more rural residents have benefited financially by undertaking part-time ecological protection work.More advanced monitoring facilities have been in place in the reserve, with more ecological protection inspectors employed to undertake protection work. The professional ecological inspectors are provided with basic tools such as motorcycles, telescopes and paging receivers, and they provide feedback regularly. Professional inspectors also receive one week of training every year from professors at Tibet University.Kunsang Darje, a railway maintenance worker in Nagchu, said that apart from maintaining the railway and highway, he also collects trash along the section with his colleagues. “The place I work is in a no-man's land, and I think it's very important to protect the animals there without affecting them with human activities, and we are also bound to take responsibility there," he said.28.

Therere two layers of hoods, waterproof gloves and 35 pounds of weights. There are two batteries for the heated bodysuit, a backup gas container, and finally, my photography equipment. We look like astronauts minus the helmets. When we finally dive into the freezing water, were wearing 200 pounds each. The cold quickly numbs（使麻木）the few square inches of exposed skin on our cheeks, and as the dive goes on, it spreads into our suits and gloves, biting even harder. Its almost unbearable. Toward the end, as were pausing on our way up to let the pressure drop, we search for anything to distract us from the pain. When we finally drag ourselves out of the freezing ocean, I lie face down on the ice, my brain dulled, my skin hard and wrinkled, my lips, hands, and feet swollen and unconscious （无知觉的） then, as my body warms and the blood starts to flow again, the intense pain is at its worst. What could possibly make this worthwhile? The sight! Only a few species of seals, penguins, and other birds live in East Antarctica, and no land mammals at all. Below, its a rich garden. Antarctic marine（海洋的）life has been largely isolated from the rest of the planet for millions of years, ever since the continent separated from the other continents and froze over. Since then the powerful Antarctic Circumpolar Current has surrounded Antarctica from west to east, creating a sharp change in temperature that prevents the spread of marine animals. The long isolation has allowed a surprising diversity of species, unique to the region, to evolve on the seafloor. The waters under Antarctic ice are like Mount Qomolangma: magical, but extremely unfriendly. Nothing short of full commitment gets you anywhere. The demand is too great. But thats what makes the images you see here so breathtaking, and the experience of having photographed them and of having seen this place so unforgettable. 32. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 1?A. How fully prepared the divers are. B. How entertaining a diver appears to be. C. How advanced modern technologies are. D. How heavy the astronauts equipment is. 33. The divers suffer the greatest pain when they _. A. dive into the waterB. begin to resurfaceC. reach the deepest spot D. regain consciousness34. What do we know about marine species in Antarctica?A. They can be found elsewhere on the planet. B. They have unimpressive biological diversity. C. They experience sharp changes in temperature. D. They live relatively independently geographically. 35. What makes the diving experience in Antarctica so worthwhile?A. The amazing scenery and pictures taken. B. The divers devotion to the tough task. C. The long-standing reputation of Antarctica. D. The challenging circumstances of the diving.  第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。Tips for Submitting a Good Letter of RecommendationIf you consider applying for any colleges abroad, one of the most important parts is the recommendation letter. Its purpose is to give universities a complete picture of you. 36   But a credible (可信的) reference saying youve consistently worked hard on a project can be the difference between getting accepted or rejected. Choose the right referencesUniversities want to know how well you work under pressure and how you react to criticism, basically your characteristics, abilities and mentality. A good referee (推荐人) should have a solid professional relationship with you and be able to communicate your academic and personal strengths. 37 Most universities ask for two recommendation letters. They are regularly split between a school professor and an extracurricular (课外的) source. Undoubtedly, its good to show your skills in the subject you want to study. 38 TimeProfessionals can sometimes find it hard to make time for writing recommendations.  39  So give them plenty of time and send them a link of your university's recommendation letter guidance page, if possible. Clear goalsDon't be afraid to ask your referees to include certain qualities or examples you want to highlight. You should inform at least one of your referees about your career goals, grades and recent projects. They may not be referenced. But giving referees additional evidence to back up their points can make the letter more convincing. 40  It's where you can find what a university lays stress on, as well as some important information such as deadlines and so on. A. Make sure to know more about your university. B. You can write that you're hard-working yourself. C. They can be quite occupied during application season. D. The more information you include, the better it may be. E. Don't forget to check each university's guidelines for reference letters. F. Examples of how you have demonstrated them are needed to add more credibility. G. But other abilities that may not be apparent in the classroom can be equally valuable. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节， 满分45分）第一节（共20 小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A B C 和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。When I first began to learn photography, a photographer offered me a simple 41 for taking a good picture.
