There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. Ive noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours; the a
20、fternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers. This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. Ive often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the di
21、tch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, “III stop on my way home and dig them.“ “Gee, I dont want to get my good clothes dirty.,.“ Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding tool one year for
22、my trunk to be used for that expressed purpose. One day on my way home from work I was upset to see that the highway department had removed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them bloomin
23、g this spring “ A week ago we were shocked and sad to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a serious brain disease. She is20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we havent been as close as we all would have liked. I couldnt help but see the connection between
24、 the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husbands sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet Ill stop and transplant them to my wildflower g

Pei, whose modern designs and high-profile projects made him one of the best-known and most prolific architects o
29、f the 20th century, has died. He was 102. A spokesman for Peis New York architecture firm confirmed his death to the Associated Press. Pei, whose designs included a controversial renovation of Paris Louvre Museum and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, died overnight, his son Chien Chung Pe
30、i told the New York Times. Ieoh Ming Pei, the son of an outstanding banker in China, left his homeland in 1935, moving to the US and studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard. After teaching and working for the US government, he went to work for a New York develo
31、per in 1948 and started his own firm in 1955. The museums, municipal buildings, hotels, schools and other structures that Pei built around the world showed precision geometry(几何结构)and an abstract quality with much respect for light. They were composed of stone, steel and glass and, as with the Louvr
32、e, Pei often worked glass pyramids into his projects. The Louvre, parts of which date to the 12th century, proved to be Pei s most controversial work, starting with the fact that he was not French. After being chosen for the job by the then president, Fran ois Mitterrand, surrounded by much secrecy,
33、 Pei began by making a four-month study of the museum and French history. He created a futuristic(极其现代的) 70ft-tall steel-framed, glass-walled pyramid as a grand entrance for the museum with three smaller pyramids nearby. It was a striking contrast to the existing Louvre structures in classic French
34、style and was violently criticized by many French. Pei said the Louvre was undoubtedly the most difficult job of his career. He said he had wanted to create a modern space that did not detract(减损)from the traditional part of the museum. “Contemporary architects tend to impose modernity on something,
35、” he said in a New York Times interview in 2008. “There is a certain concern for history but its not very deep. I understand that time has changed, we have evolved. But I dont want to forget the beginning. A lasting architecture has to have roots.” When Pei won the international Pritzker Architectur
36、e Prize in 1983, he used the $100,000 award to start a program for aspiring Chinese architects to study in the US. Even though he formally retired from his firm in 1990, Pei was still taking on projects in his late 80s, such as museums in Luxembourg, Qatar and his ancestral home of Suzhou. 8. What c
37、an we learn from the first three paragraphs? A. Pei is famous for traditional designs in architecture. B. Pei built the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. C. Pei set up his own firm with the help of a New York developer. D. Pei put the elements light and glass pyramids into the Louvre. 9. What
38、 is the French attitude towards Peis job of the Louvre? A. Positive. B. Neutral. C. Critical. D. Objective. 10. What is the purpose of Paragraph 5? A. To explain Peis idea about the Louvre innovation job. B. To list the modernity of the Louvre innovation. C. To show Peis love for traditional culture
39、. D. To present Peis contributions to architecture in history. 11. Which of the following words can best describe Pei? A. Productive and stubborn. B. Generous and persistent. C. Hard-working and humorous. D. Tolerant and considerate. D NASAs Curiosity vehicle recently recorded the largest level of m
40、ethane(甲烷) ever measured during its seven-year Mars mission. The discovery is exciting because the existence of methane gas could support the case for life on Mars. Methane has no color or smell. A special instrument on Curiositys Mars Science Laboratory recorded the increased gas level. The device,
41、 called a laser spectrometer, measures levels of chemical elements and gases in the Martian atmosphere. In addition to methane, the instrument can record levels of water and CO2. Nearly all the methane gas found in Earths atmosphere is produced by biological activity. It usually comes from animal an
42、d plant life. But it can also be formed by geological(地质的) processes, such as interactions between rocks and water. NASA said the increased methane was measured to be about 21 parts per billion by volume (ppbv). One ppbv means that if you take a volume of air on Mars, one billionth of the volume of
43、air is methane. It was not the first time Curiosity has found methane gas in the Martian atmosphere. About a year ago, NASA announced that Curiosity had discovered sharp seasonal increases in the gas. This time, NASA said the measured methane gas level was clearly larger than any others observed in
44、the past. NASA officials even temporarily stopped Curiositys other activities to investigate further. “Its exciting because microbial(微生物的) life is an important source of methane on Earth,” NASA said in a statement announcing the discovery. However, Curiositys team carried out a follow-up methane ex
45、periment that showed a sharp drop in levels of the gas. The second examination found the level was less than one part per billion by volume. That number was close to the background levels Curiosity sees all the time. The rise and fall of the methane gas levels left NASA scientists with more question
46、s than answers. The scientists are continuing to study possible causes for the sudden increase. The methane mystery continues. Curiosity does not have instruments that can exactly identify whether the source of the methane is biological or geological. One leading theory is that methane is being rele
47、ased from underground areas created by possible life forms that disappeared long ago. Even though Mars has no active volcanoes, scientists believe it is also possible that methane is being produced by reactions involving carbon materials and water. A clearer understanding of methane levels over time
48、 could help scientists determine where theyre located on Mars. Scientists hope this understanding will come as Curiosity continues to collect methane data in its search for possible life. 12. Curiosity discovered. A. the largest methane gas level ever observed on Mars B. the existence of life on Mar
49、s C. the reason for the increased methane D. interactions between rocks and water 13. Why did NASA officials once stop Curiositys other activities? A. To further examine the methane gas level on Mars. B. To seek possible life existing on Mars. C. To check the quality of Curiositys mission. D. To find seasonal increases in the methane gas. 14. What can we learn from the last three paragraphs? A. Causes for the change of methane have been proved by Curiosity. B. Curiosity has proved the location of methane by instruments
