A
The jaguars(美洲豹）didn't bother me much during the day. Adonis, our local guide who was leading us deep into the Guatemalan jungle, guaranteed that we wouldn't come under attack from the jaguars. The most recent time he had seen one was more than a year ago. Last week, he had spotted some jaguar tracks, which was probably about as close to the animals as we would get, he said.
But his guarantee meant little that night as I cowered in my hammock(吊床) under the Central American stars. Now my mind turned every soft sound of waving leaves into a moving big cat full of murderous intent(probably to get back at the rude human who had interrupted its life.) And, if it wasn't a jaguar ready to attack, it was a poisonous snake, picking which of my bottoms to sink its long sharp tooth into.
Tiredness calmed my overactive imagination and I slept slightly. Next day, big surprise:no death by either snake bite or jaguar attack and injury. We packed up our stuff and continued toward our destination, El Mirador, the site of the tallest temple in the Mayan world.
Although we may have questioned why we had left a perfectly nice beach to come here, that night no doubts remained. Just before sunset we took our places at the top of the temple hill. A Mayan astrologer(占星家) had probably sat in the same place 2, 000 years before and improved his knowledge of the Milky Way.
Tonight, as with every night, spectacular pink shades marked the western skyline. The sky darkened and, one by one, the stars shone with a soft light into life. . 21. What did the guide think of the jaguars? A. They were difficult to find. C. They were tough to deal with.
B. They were aggressive killers. D. They had close relations with man.
22. What does the underlined word \A. Shrank. B. Skipped.
C. Relaxed.
D. Danced.
23. What message is the author trying to convey in the last paragraph? A. We should show respect to nature. B. Traveling in the jungle can be dangerous. C. The ecology problem requires urgent attention. D. The universe is lasting while human life is short.
B
It took multiple weddings for Christine Law to realize what she needed to do. In the summer of 2014, her schedule was packed with friends’ marriage celebrations — flower-filled occasions that got her thinking, “Where do all the flowers go after the party？” More often than not, they were thrown away. Law was confident she could find a better use for them.
By August, she had a plan：convince couples and companies hosting events to donate their flowers, which she would pick up and deliver within 48 hours to seniors across the city. She wanted to bring beauty into the lives of the elderly. She drew on her experience through being a volunteer in non-profit institutions in order to set up her own organization, which she called Floranthropie. Not having enough bouquets (花束) for all 150 people of a health center, Law asked the staff to provide a list of patients who needed cheering up most. “The first woman I approached thought it was a mistake, and that the flowers couldn’t possibly be for her,” says Law. “I said they were a gift, and we talked for a half hour.
In addition to health centers, Floranthropie focuses on community groups devoted to the elderly. La?titia Thélème is a volunteer for Les Petits Fières, an organization that aims to help the elderly who don’t have a support system. The group receives
a dozen or so bouquets from Floranthropie monthly, and then redistributes them. “Our motto is ‘flowers before bread’,” says Thélème. “We don’t focus on primary care, but rather on nourishing (滋养) the spirit. Floranthropie helps us do that. It’s amazing what a big difference a small bouquet can make.”
In the beginning, most of Floranthropie’s donations came through word of mouth. These days, Law receives messages from strangers via her organization’s Facebook page and has connected with corporations and flower wholesalers. Law hopes to expand Floranthropie nationally, but at this point is happy to be able to oversee each delivery personally.
24．What made Christine Law set up Floranthropie?
A．The warm atmosphere of weddings. C．The persuasion of other friends.
B．The loneliness of seniors. D．The waste of flowers.
25．How did the woman feel about Christine Law’s flowers?
A．She was moved. B．She was surprised. C．She was worried. D．She was excited.
26．What can we infer about Floranthropie from La?titia Thélème’s words?
A．It should focus on primary care.
B．It is doing something of great importance. C．It is benefiting more than the elderly.
D．It should cooperate with more non-profit institutions. 27．What is the best title for the text?
A．Volunteer Your Time
B．Don’t Throw Flowers Away
C．Brighten Seniors’ Lives with Flowers D．Special Delivery Makes Your Day
C
You try to keep your eyes wide open while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink (眨眼睛)
