fireman or a park ranger(护林员).Looking back on thatchildhood fantasy,he says,“I think it was calling me.”Instead,he spent four decades at one ofpublic broadcastings flagship stations in Boston.He retired in 2005 at the age of 65 without anyparticular post-career goal in mind.After several weeks to sit around,he decided to drive hiscamper to visit family in Jackson Hole,Wyoming.In route,he casually stopped at the Yellowstone Park Foundation,which raises funds forYellowstone,Americas first national park.As it happens,the foundation was hiring people toeducate park guests on wolves.Kerr signed on.After working there for several weeks,andencouraged by his daughter,Kerr applied to the Student Conservation Association for an internship(实习).To say that Kerr stood out in the intern crowd is a big understatement.Most interns werecollege and even high school students.But,in a sense,he had been ready for this since his youth.His outdoor adventures with his grandfather had given him a love of nature,and,as an adult,he hadhelped out at the local fire department on medical calls.He also had something else.There are 31 million Americans between the ages of 44 and 70.Some retired,looking for a third act,some looking for a more satisfying career,searching forsomething where they feel as if theyre making a contribution,doing something to make theirneighborhood,their country,their world just a little bit better.Kerr also had that deep desire to dosomething more.From his internship,he moved up to a ranger,educating park visitors to ensure safe contactbetween guests and animals,and responding to medical emergencies.He treasures his job in whathe describes as one of the most beautiful places on Earth,and revels in moments when he treats avisitor to an up-close look at one of the parks wolves or bears through his telescope,an occasionthat can move visitors to tears.“These are rich and all-too-rare moments,”recalls Kerr,“I never forget them.”24.What do we know about John Kerr?A.He joined the program in the park by accident.B.He had a specific aim after retirement.C.He got a casual job with his daughters help.D.He did a job he dreamed of for decades.25.What made John Kerr outstanding in the internship?A.His determined resolve.B.His academic degree.C.His previous experiences.D.His medical knowledge.26.Which of the following best describes John Kerr?A.Aggressive.B.Committed.C.Awkward.D.Desperate.27.What does the underlined phrase“revels in”in paragraph 6 mean?A.DreadsB.AwaitsC.QuitsD.EnjoysCA new study led by researchers at the University of California,Riverside,has found exposureto third-hand smoke(THS)causes skin diseases.The study the first to look at humans exposed to THS involved 10 healthy non-smokerswearing clothing with either filtered(过滤的)air or THS chemicals.The investigation lasted threehours,during which participants would either walk or run for 15 minutes per hour this would makethem sweat and increase the levels of THS potentially taken in through the skin.Blood samples werecollected,which were measured to see whether THS may have caused cell or tissue damage.“We found THS exposure caused damage to DNA,lipids(脂质)and proteins and the damageremained even after the exposure stopped,”said Shane Sakamaki-Ching,a doctor of biology andthe first author of the study.“Cigarette smokers show the same result.”The study showed exposureto THS increases signals related with skin diseases,which makes sense:the organ most likely tocome into contact with THS is your skin,and so it receives the biggest exposure to the harmfulchemicals.“However,whats even more worrying is the tendency to lead to cancer,”addedSakamaki-Ching.“If you buy a used car previously owned by a smoker,you are putting yourself at some healthrisk,”said Prue Talbot,a professor of cell biology at UC Riverside and the corresponding author ofthe study.“If you go to a restaurant that allows smoking,you are exposing your skin to THS.Thesame applies to staying in a hotel room that was previously occupied by a smoker.”Sakamaki-Ching said,“Our findings can assist physicians in checking patients exposed toTHS and help develop policies improving indoor environments polluted by THS.”28.Why were the participants in the study asked to take exercise?A.To keep themselves energetic.B.To speed up blood circulation.C.To remove THS by sweating.D.To absorb more THS through skin.29.What does Sakamaki-Ching say about exposure to THS?A.It tends to cause bad health consequences.B.It only puts the victims skin at risk.C.It is likely to change smokersDNA.D.It will have a mild effect on health.30.What message does Prue Talbot want to convey in paragraph 4?A.Public places risk being polluted.B.THS exists widely in our daily life.C.Smokers should be punished.D.Second-hand cars are banned from buying.31.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A.Causes of Skin DiseasesB.ACampaign to Quit SmokingC.Potential Harm of THSD.Danger of Indoor EnvironmentsDWith renewable energy the big problem is storing the electricity for when the sun does notshine and the wind does not blow.A solution,one group of scientists thinks,could have lainbeneath our feet all along.Michael Harbottle from Cardiff University is leading the project,whichseeks to turn soil into a kind of battery by using the microbes(微生物)within.The planned system involves running a current between buried electrodes(电极).This makescertain bacteria come alive in the soil.Just as sunlight provides the energy for plants to make sugarfrom carbon dioxide and water,the electrical energy lets the bacteria transform carbon dioxide intoa chemical.This chemical becomes in effect a chemical store of energy,and when the energy isneeded,a different circuit(电路)is switched on,giving different bacteria the energy to break downthe chemical.This process frees electrons,which flow through the circuit,providing electricity ondemand.“The bugs will eat the food,pass the electrons,and it will power the lightbulb at the sametime,”said Harbottle,“Its no real difference from what theyre doing when theyre consumingfood and producing energy to grow.Its just we are making use of that energy to get a little bit forourselves.”For now,though,there are more fundamental questions.As with all energy storage systems,the viability(可行性)could depend on how much energy is lost in the process.Unlike in otherenergy storage systems,it also depends on whether anything else eats these bacteria and whathappens when it rains.“Its not in a box.Its not contained.The things you reuse can be movingaround;they can be spreading to all sorts of places.The challenge,”Harbottle admitted,“is that itsan uncontrolled environment.”32.What is the purpose of the project?A.To develop new land.B.To find new storage system.C.To remove carbon dioxide.D.To discover new microbes.33.Which aspect of the planned system is paragraph 2 mainly about?A.Its effect.B.Its process.C.Its equipment.D.Its difficulty.34.What are Harbottles words used for in paragraph 3?A.Explaining the previous concept.B.Providing some knowledge for the readers.C.Adding some background information.D.Introducing a new topic for discussion.35.What problem might Harbottle try to solve next?A.How to keep the bacteria steady.B.How to control temperature change.C.How to develop more bacteria.D.How to produce more electricity.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Developing an optimistic outlook can be good for
