When I first set foot in Western Australia's
Pilbara,a landscape holding 3.5-billion-year-old
clues to the beginning of life,I was very
disappointed.The year was 1994.I drove
excitedly out of the west coast town of Port
Hedland,but all I saw for the first 150
kilometers were a few dead trees and smoky dust
across the burnt,flat plain.And the heat!I'd
never experienced anything this terrible before,
or breathed air so thick with biting flies
But as we continued to head south on the
highway to Marble Bar-the hottest town in
Australia-some low,broad hills started to rise
from the horizon.As we continued down a dirt
track into the hills,the burnt plains gave way to
grass-covered hills.This grass is called spinifex,
an amazing but cruel creation.It grows as
bushes up to one metre in diameter(直径),with
round,fine leaves with needle-sharp tips.The
tips will go through just about any piece of cloth.
My guide wore thick gaiters(护腿)to protect his
legs.But he had failed to inform me of the risk.
Without any gaiters,my skin was covered with
needle tips that remained in my legs for months.
The land,ultimately,proved worth the
discomfort.Here I was walking over some of
Earth's oldest,best-preserved rocks that contain
evidence of life from almost the very beginnings
of time on our planet.
This area had changed much from when it
was first formed 3.5 billion years ago.Back then
it would have been a black volcanic land,with no
colour from vegetation.Over the hills I might
have seen a green,iron-rich sea under an orange
sky heavy with carbon dioxide and without
oxygen.Several billion years after that,the
3
world would turn cold and become covered in a
global ice sheet,destroying almost every living
thing.When it melted away,oxygen levels rose
again.Life really got going.Animals slowly
occupied the land,so did new types of plants.
The greening of our planet began,and a wide
variety of organisms(有机体)appeared
including,unfortunately for me,spinifex.
1.What was the author's first reaction to the
Pilbara landscape?
[A]Dissatisfaction.
[B]Excitement.
[c]Amusement.
[D]Confusion,
2.What does the writer mean by writing "The
land,ultimately,proved worth the discomfort"?
[A]It was no easy task to set foot on the land.
[B]He had never seen spinifex on any other land.
[c]The trip was valuable despite all the suffering.
[D]The tips remaining in his flesh were not
that uncomfortable
3.What is the significance of the Pilbara
landscape?
[A]It is where life began.
[B]It is still a black volcanic land.
[c]It is home to many unique plants.
[D]It contains almost no living things.
4.Which of the following might be the best title
for the passage?
[A]How Life Started on Earth
[B]Pilbara:Rich in Organisms
[c]An Abandoned but Lively Land
[D]Journey to a Land Across Time

B
In the park,there are 9,485 of them.You
sit on them.To rest.Read a book.Wait for a
friend.Or it's such a day when you have nothing
to do,and this is a delicious place to accomplish
absolutely nothing.Or you can drift off and
muse on the plaque(纪念牌)attached there,
representing a story behind the bench.The
Central Park bench.You aren't just sitting on
wood.You are sitting on memories.
Caitlin LaMorte was the development
manager for the Adopt-a-Bench program which
began in 1986 as a way to finance the
maintenance of the benches.If you can afford it,
it's simple enough.Pay $10,000 and you get to
put a plaque on a bench,saying almost whatever
you want,up to a suggested maximum of four
lines of 30 characters each.And then it's there
forever.Up to now,4,223 of the benches have
been adopted.While plenty of benches remain
unadopted,some areas are sold out.For
instance,all the benches facing the lake.
Benches can serve many purposes.Quite
often,they're adopted to remember a relative or
friend.Or on occasion,a pet.Increasingly,Ms.
LaMorte said,"We have more plaques that are
happy."Graduations or birthdays or birth wishes
or wedding gifts.

Last year,Karen May figured she would
adopt a bench for her children.When her elder
son,
Theodore,proposed to his girlfriend,
Lucinda,he wrote a brief children's book for her
called“Two Red Foxes,”because foxes were a
recurring theme in her upbringing (as when a fox
sped across the field when her father proposed to
her mother).The foxes were stand-ins for Ms.
May's son and his bride-to-be.And there was the
fact that her younger son,Thornwell,went by
the nickname Pup.So there is a bench facing the
lake that reads,“Two Red Foxes and a Pup.”
People will sit there and not know what it
means.But Ms.May knows.
5.
What is the Adopt-a-Bench program
intended for?
[A]Raising funds for bench care.
[B]Placing more plaques on benches.
[c]Marketing the unadopted benches.
[D]Attracting visitors to the central park.
6.What does the underlined word“stand-ins”
probably mean?
[A]Relatives.
[B]Wishes.

7.Why did Karen May adopt the bench?
[A]To remember two red foxes and a puppy.
[B]To secure a lakeside bench for family use.
[e]To promote her son's newly published book.
[D]To celebrate her children's special moments.

V.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Great parks require great designs.Nearly all
communities have some public spaces and
features.These places may be appreciated,but
they certainly are not the places they could have
been with the application of solid design
principles.1
Inclusive and welcoming.Great parks make
you feel good when you get there.2
Regardless of your age and cultural background,
you know you are in a public space that has been
designed with you in mind,and you have little
hesitation to enter and enjoy yourself.
Sustainable and resilient(有弹性的).Great
parks represent environmentally responsible
development strategies.They are great places for
people,migratory birds,and soil organisms.3
Beautiful.4 The design elements that
make something beautiful include line,color,
and form,organized to create balance,unity,
rhythm,and emphasis.Sit on a beach watching
the sunset,you recognize beauty,and it
refreshes your soul.
5 Great parks do not ignore their
physical or social context but directly respond to
it.A design process for a new park set within a
neighborhood of immigrants will work with these
park users to understand their needs and desires.
For instance,a park next to an elementary
school must recognize the young users next door
and should be designed to maximize its
playability by students.
A.Sensitive to context.
B.Flexible to evolve over time.
C.Great parks must be filled with attractive
elements.
D.They are open in their design and welcoming
in their attitude.
E.They are designed with ecological processes in
mind and integrate them beautifully.
F.The following top design principles should be
evident in every great park or natural area.
G.Some of the most innovative park designs
have changed the course of park design
elsewhere.
