28、akes Rockaway so special, she says. On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalies family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the citys bridge closed. When they returned to Rockaway the ne
29、xt day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalies friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalies school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn. In the following few days, th
30、e men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-ris

C California Condors Shocking Recovery California condors are North Americas largest birds, with wind-length of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out
38、. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds. In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred(繁殖). Since 1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and ne
39、arby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico. Electrical lines have been killing them off. As they go in to rest for the night, they just dont see the power lines, says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch two lines at on
40、ce. So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of set-freed birds died of electrocution. This has now drop
41、ped to 18%. Lead poisonous has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney(肾) failures and death. So condors with
42、high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011. Rideouts team thinks that
43、the California condors average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now, he says. They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them. 63. California condors attract researchers in
44、terest because they _. A. are active at night B. had to be bred in the wild C. are found only in California D. almost died out in the 1980s 64. Researchers have found electrical lines are _. A. blocking condors journey home B. big killers of California condors C. rest places for condors at night D.
45、used to keep condors away 65. According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning _. A. makes condors too nervous to fly B. has little effect on condors kidneys C. can hardly be gotten rid of from condors blood D. makes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds 66. This passage shows that _. A. the averag
46、e survival time of condors is satisfactory B. Rideouts research interest lies in electric engineering C. the efforts to protect condors have brought good results D. researchers have found the final answers to the problem D Why College Is Not Home The college years are supposed to be a time for impor
47、tant growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of todays students and are not shouldered with adult responsibilities. For previous generations, college was a decisive break from parental control;
48、 guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cell phones, email and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Inst
49、ead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home. To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves trying on new ways of thinking about oneself bother intellectually(在
