When I visit Merle, I always head straight to the kitchen. I play with her dog, and get settled at the
table while Merle makes cups of tea for us.We talk about anything we can think of: politics, dogs, the
weather, and work. It''s a ritual that I look forward to days in advance.
To an outsider, my visit appears to be simply the typical act of a granddaughter visiting her
grandmother. But Merle and I are not related. She is my surrogate grandmother(代理外祖母 ) .
I didn’t even realize I was in the market for a new grandparent until I gradually found that the relationship
between Merle and I was exactly what I had with my maternal grandparents一 safe and comfortable.
While our relationship developed organically, there are plenty of people who have gone out searching
for a grandparent-grandchild relationship .
Sydney-based Cate Kloos started “Find a Grandparent” in May 2012, after moving to Australia from
Germany. While she enjoyed a close relationship with her grandparents in her native country, she realized
her own children would be without their extended family. She wanted them to benefit in the same way that
she had. Grandparents, she says, offer a different but essential kind of support .
“Find a Grandparent” works much like a match-making service, where young families or individuals
can ask for someone to act as a grandparent figure in their life. So far, several hundred families have made
connections and spend time doing typical activities---lunch, going to the movies and sharing stories.
“It is very important to have another person to turn to when they have problems; often grandparents
have a different approach to life, ” said Klooa.
24.How does the author feel about her visit to Merle?
A. It s very formal B. It makes her nervous.
C. It gives her great pleasure. D. It'' s a source of inspiration for her
25. Why did Kloos decide to start “Find a Grandparent”?
A. To honor her grandparents
B. To make people closer to each other.
C. To call on people to respect elderly people
D To enable her kids to get more emotional support.
26.What does Kloos stress in the last paragraph?
A. The qualities of great grandparents. B. The important role of grandparents.
C. We should have a positive attitude to life. D. We should spend more time with our family .
27.What’s the best title for the text?
A .Merle and I B. Turning to the elderly
C. Biological or surrogate? D. Finding surrogate grandparents
C
Scientists in Germany recently turned on the “world’s largest artificial sun”—a device made up of 149
Xenon short-arc lamps that can create about 10,000 times the amount of solar radiation we get on Earth.
That’s enough to melt metal or fry pretty much any living thing.
Luckily, researchers don’t plan to use this powerful device called “Synlight” to fry anyone, and have
taken precautions to keep people well away from it while it’s switched on. Instead, they hope it will help
people discover new, cost-effective ways of producing climate-friendly fuels like hydrogen.
The bright minds at DLR, the German Aerospace Center, believe that a field of adjustable mirrors
could be used to focus sunlight on a very small and incredibly hot area to create a high-energy reaction
where hydrogen is extracted(获取 ) from water vapor. Unfortunately, they don’t know exactly how to do
that, so they’ve built Synlight to help them perform the experiment in a small laboratory.
Synlight relies on the same type of Xenon short-arc lamps used in cinemas to simulate(模拟 ) natural
sunlight. But a very large cinema would only require one lamp, whereas this thing features 149 of them, all
focusing their energy on a very small area. That’s one place you definitely don’t to be when Synlight is on.
Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, but pure hydrogen gas is apparently very rare
on Earth, so DLR hopes to use their “artificial sun” to come up with a cost-effective way to produce more
of it.
Scientists have long been trying to create hydrogen fuels in a cost-effective way, but all their attempts
have failed. Now it’s time to try with the sun, which is apparently worth two years and over 3.5 million
euros.
I wonder what will happen if you stare at Synlight when it’s turned on. Maybe I’ll fly to Germany and
find out. It might just win me one of those Darwin awards I’ve been wanting for so long.
28. What do we know about “Synlight”?
A. It can only be used in a small lab.
B. It will be completed in two years.
C. Its purpose is to protect the environment.
D. Its aim is to help scientists finish the experiment.
29. What do the scientists plan to do to create hydrogen fuels?
A. Collect a field of adjustable mirrors.
B. Focus the light on the water surface.
C. Spend more than 3.5 million euros.
D. Have more Xenon short-arc lamps
30. How does the author sound when writing the text?
A. Unreasonable. B. Doubtful. C. Humorous. D. Serious.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To win a Darwin award.
B. To show how to create hydrogen.
C. To help people know more about hydrogen.
D. To introduce a new way of creating hydrogen.
D
Some of the world''s most significant problems never hit headlines. One example comes from
agriculture. Food unrest and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked
about. This is the decline in the growth in production of some of the world''s major crops. A new study by
the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is
occurring.
The authors study the four most important crops: rice, wheat, corn and soybeans. They find that the
improvement in yields that took place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.
There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the
world''s most populous(人口多的 ) countries, India and China. Their ability to feed themselves has been an
important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self－

英语 周测 5 3 / 5
sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down.
Second, production growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soybeans. This is
problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories
consumed. Corn and soybeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “ we have
preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that
feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”
The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world
will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and
Agriculture Organisation has argued.
Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughed up for crops might be
able to revert(回返 ) to forest or wilderness. This could happen. The trouble is that the forecast assumes
continued improvements in production, which may not actually happen.
32. What does the author try to draw attention to?
A. Food riots and hunger in the world.
B. News headlines in the leading media.
C. The decline of the grain production growth.
D. The food supply in populous countries.
33. Why does the author mention India and China in particular?
A. Their self－ sufficiency is vital to the stability of world food markets.
B. Their food yields have begun to decrease sharply in recent years.
C. Their big populations are causing worldwide concerns.
D. Their food self－ sufficiency has been taken for granted.
34. What does the Food and Agriculture Organization say about world food production in the coming
decades?
A. The growing population will greatly increase the pressure on world food supplies.
B. The optimistic prediction about food production should be viewed with caution.
C. The slowdown of the growth in yields of major food crops will be reversed.
D. The world will be able to feed its population without increasing farmland.
35. How does the author view the argument of the Food and Agriculture Organisation?
A. It is built on the findings of a new study.
B. It is based on a doubtful assumption.
C. It is backed by strong evidence.
D. It is open to further discussion.

How to Become an Activist
Activists are people who see the need for change and devote their time to doing something about it. 36
If you are interested in it you can do so.
37 This could be anything from a student club to a national organization （ like the American Civil

involvement, so you can do whatever you feel most comfortable with, whether that means attending
meetings and demonstrations or just donating a little money when you can.
Volunteer your time. One of the best ways to make a difference is to volunteer your time. Reach out
to organizations in your community that do work for your cause, and ask how you can help.

your cause, you may be able to donate other things they need, like clothing or canned food.
Reach out to family and friends. Tell your family and friends about your cause, and invite them to get
involved. If they are interested, share literature about your cause or just talk to them about what you have
learned. 39
