24、aid, Could I see your picture? Garrison handed over his sketch. Pa studied it, then looked at his son. Youre ten now, eh? Garrison nodded, hoping Pa wouldnt say that he was too old to be fooling around with pencils and paper.When I was ten, I wanted to work on my fathers ship, Pa said, When Thomas w
25、as ten, he asked me to let him plant the corn. Garrisons throat (嗓子) tightened. I know Im not like either of you. Pa looked at the drawing again.No, you are like both of us. You work hard, like Thomas. And youre like me, too. I have wandering feet, but you have a wandering mind. We need to see thing
26、s differently.Garrison frowned. Id rather love the land, like Thomas, or the seaPa patted his hand. Thomas cares about our family very much-thats why hes worked so hard to bring us food. And my love for the sea makes good money. But theres more in life than food and money. Theres happiness, for one.
27、 Does it make you happy to draw? Garrison nodded.And it makes me happy to look at your drawings. Not many folks can catch happiness on a piece of paper. Some might say drawings a waste of time, but they dont understand how things are. Why, asking you to stop drawing like asking Thomas to stop farmin
28、g, or me to stop going to sea. It would be like asking us to stop breathing, wouldnt it? Garrison considered this, then replied, No, sir. Not quite like breathing.

32、farm.DIn 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of single crop species (物种) might not have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost solely on the patato for food. The death of one species
33、 caused a terrible famine(饥荒). Now, some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again, but on a much wider scale.Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops. Each species has special qualities. Some can be grown in very hot or cold climate
34、s. Others are not affected by certain diseases. However, you wont find many of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming only species of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers.For e
35、xample, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice: now fewer than 100 are grown there. In China, 90 percent of the wheat varieties grown just a century ago have disappeared. Scientists believe that over the past century, we have allowed more than half of the worlds food vari
36、eties to disappear.One solution to this problem is to collect and store the seeds (种子) as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 1930s, he collected around 400,000 seeds from five contients.
37、More recently, others are continuing the work he began.In the U.S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties, like the seeds her great grandfather brought to the U.S. from Germany more than a hundred years ago. She and her husband started a place called Heritage Farm
38、, where people can store and trade seeds.More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm dont just store the seeds; they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that havent been grown for years. These food species are not just special in terms of appearance or tast
39、e. They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past.34. What is this passage mainly about?A. The need to protect different food species.B. How to increase the number of food species.C. The fact that many food species are dying out.D. How to prevent food species from disappearing.
40、35. Why are some scientists worried that such a famine could happen again?A. Because people depend on certain species of food crops.B. Because the same deadly disease may attack crops again.C. Because the worlds population is larger than that in 1845.D. Because farmers grow the same potatoes as thos
41、e in the past.36. The following sentence would best be placed at the end of _.Meanwhile, thousands of other species are dying out.A. Paragraph 1B. Paragraph 2C. Paragraph 3D. Paragraph 437. What can we learn from the passage?A. The disease spread very quickly and killed thousands of people in Irelan
42、d.B. Around 80 percent of the rice varieties in the Philippines have disappeared.C. People have been storing seeds to save plane varieties for less than 100 years.D. Heritage Farm is the first place in the U.S. for people to store and trade seeds.第 II 卷（主观题 共 40 分）四、词汇运用 （本大题共 8 小题，每小题 1 分，共 8 分）(A)
