【題目】Have you ever heard of Paynes Prairie? It is one of the most important natural and historical areas in Florida. Paynes Prairie is located near Gainesville. It is large, 21,000 acres. This protected land is called a preserve. The Florida Park Service manages the preserve.

The Paynes Prairie basin was formed when limestone dissolved and the ground settled. It is covered by marsh(沼澤)and wet prairie vegetation. There are areas of open water. During brief periods it has flooded enough to be considered a lake. Except for that, the basin has changed little through time.

Man has lived on Paynes Prairie a very long time. He lived there as far back as 10,000 B. C. At one time, the Seminoles lived there. The prairie is thought to have been named after King Payne, a Seminole chief. During the late 1600s, the largest cattle ranch in Florida was on Paynes Prairie. Today, Paynes Prairie is preserved land. It is occupied by visitors and Florida Park Service employees.

Willam Bartram visited Paynes Praire. Bartram was the first person who portrayed (described) nature through personal experience as well as scientific observation. He lived 200 years ago. He visited Paynes Prairie in 1774. At that time he described it. He called Paynes Prairie the “great Alachua Savannah.”

Most of the animal life, which Bartram described, is still here. A large number of sandhill cranes, hawks and waterfowl are here in winter. The animal diversity is increased by the presence of pine flatwoods, hammock, swamps and ponds.

The Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park is open year round. The Florida Park Service works hard so that the park will appear as it did in the past. It offers many opportunities for recreation. At the park you can camp and picnic. You can hike and bike. You can boat and fish. You can ride on horse trails. And you can see lots of nature and wildlife. You can see Florida as it was in the early days.

Paynes Prairie is a part of our Florida history. It is an example of our Florida natural resources. It is a place for recreation. Paynes Prairie is an important experience of the Real Florida.

【題目】閱讀下面的短文，按照要求寫一篇英語短文。

James Bender, in his book How to Talk Well tells the story of a farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he won a blue ribbon. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it.

The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” The reporter asked. “Why,” said the farmer, “didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen(花粉) from the ripening corn and carries it from field to field. If my neighbors grow bad corn, cross-pollination(異花受粉) will slowly reduce the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn. ”

He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbors’ corn also improves. The lesson for each of us is this: If we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn.

In the winter vacation, I paid a visit a mountain village in a suburb of Luoyang. No sooner had I got off the bus when I was greatly surprising to see all the changes. It was far better than I had been expected. Now every family can drink cleanly running water. The villagers needn’t carry water himself any more. Firewood is no longer used for cooking. Marsh gas, a new cheap clean energy, make it very convenient to cook and light. As all the families have color TV set, they can enjoy plays at home. It impressed me most was that the best building in a village was the school. I hope the mountain village will become better and better.

【題目】The brothers Grimm(格林兄弟), Jacob and Wihelm are synonymous with（同義的）fairytales. The stories they gathered have been read by millions of children in all countries over the last two hundred years. It’s difficult to think that any children could not be attracted by a tale like Red Riding Hood(小紅帽)，which never seems to grow old.

This year, Dec20 marked the 200th anniversary of publication of the tales. The Brimms collected the stories and gave them to the world because they wanted to show what German culture was about. In their time, Germany was not yet a nation; it was a collection of little states. Like many patriotic intellectuals(愛國知識(shí)分子),they thought they could help people in German territories(領(lǐng)土) to understand their own traditions.

Quite a few adult were shocked by brothers Grimm’s work. They wrote about a wolf who eats a little girl’s grandmother and an awful old woman who wants to put Hansel and Gretel in a stove. In fact, the original Grimm fairy tales are often far more unpleasant, and more adult in theme(主題).There is a lot of cruelty too. In the wedding scene of Snow White ,the stepmother dances in red-hot iron shoes that kills her.

However, other people came along and made these stories more “suitable” for children. The modern children’s writer Philip Pullman recently published a book of his versions of some Grimm tales. He points out that the Grimms themselves changed the stories, but for the better. They knew how to hold the attention of readers. “A Grimm tale,” he says, “moves with a dreamlike speed from event to event, pausing only to say as much as is needed and no more.” So, when we read a story from Grimms’ collection, we’re getting something from old Germany, but our enjoyment is also thanks to the brothers’ great storytelling skills.

【1】According to Paragrah1, Red Riding Hood____.

A. is popular with children all the time.

B. is too old for children to read

C. is a poorly organized story

D. is too stupid to be believed.

【2】What is the Brimms’ purpose in publishing the fairy tales?

A. To improved children’s reading skills.

B. To develop educational system.

C. To introduce their country’s culture.

D. To make a living by selling books.

【3】By mentioning Philip Pullman, the author intends to____.

A. describes the achievement of the Brothers Grimm

B. present a different side of Grimm fairy tales

C. prove the excellence of the Grimm fairy tales

D. compare the difference between the two versions

【4】In which section of a paper is the passage taken from?

A. Fun Times B. Comment

C. Life and Style D. Culture.

【題目】The Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.

The concept of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.

Better for the environment

Sustainability (持續(xù)性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.

Taste and nutritional content

Locally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness (成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.

Community and home values

When you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaged in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.

【1】It can be inferred from the third paragraph that ___________.

A. global warming is the most serious problem now

B. North American food is rich in various kinds of materials

C. the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customers

D. most people support buying locally

【2】 Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly because___________.

A. they are picked when they are fully grown

B. they are not polluted by chemical fertilizer

C. they can be harvested at any time

D. they are sent to the market at a high speed

【3】According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods ___________.

A. you can see how fruits and vegetables grow

B. you will contribute to protecting the environment

C. you will become much healthier and prettier

D. you are making money from your community

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.

B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.

C. The importance of protecting the environment.

D. The benefits of buying locally.
