Section B

(A)
I was at the funeral of my dearest friend--my mother. She finally had lost her long battle with cancer. The hurt was so intense; I found it hard to breathe at times. Always supportive, Mother clapped loudest at my school plays, held the box of tissues while listening to my first heartbreak, comforted me at my father's death, and prayed for me my entire life.
When mother's illness was diagnosed, my sister had a new baby and my brother had recently married his childhood sweetheart, so it fell on me, the 27-year-old middle child, to take care of her. I counted it an honor. My place had been with our mother, preparing her meals, taking her to the doctor, reading the Bible together. Now she was in heaven. My work was finished, but I was alone.
Deep in sorrow, suddenly, I heard a door open and slam shut at the back of the church. Quick footsteps hurried along the carpeted floor. A young man looked around briefly and then sat next to me. He folded his hands and placed them on his lap. His eyes started to be filled with tears.
\
After several eulogies, he leaned over and commented, \name of Margaret?''
\was anyway.

The solemness(庄重) of the occasion mixed with the realization of the man's mistake bubbled up inside me and came out as laughter. Sharp looks from other mourners(哀悼者) only made the situation seem more stupid. I peeked at the confused, misguided man seated beside me. He was laughing too, as he glanced around, deciding it was too late for an uneventful exit. I imagined Mother laughing.
At the final 'Amen,' we rushed out a door and into the parking lot. \talk of the town. By the way, my name is Rick.\
That afternoon began a lifelong journey for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral, but was in the right place. A year after our meeting, we were married at a country church. This time we both arrived at the same church, right on time.
In my time of sorrow, God gave me laughter. In place of loneliness, God gave me love. This past June, we celebrated our twenty-second wedding anniversary. Whenever anyone asks us how we met, Rick tells them, 'Her mother and my Aunt Mary introduced us, and it's truly a match made in heaven.'
1. Only author could take care of her mom mainly because ________. A. she was the only child in the family
B. a lovely baby came into her brother’s family
C. she was the only child without a new family’s burden D. her mom loved her much more than other children 2. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The author and Rick met 22 years ago for the first time. B. The author was supposed to have been in Lutheran Church. C. Margaret should be the name of Rick’s aunt.
D. The mourners considered the author’s joy improper. 3. What could be the best title of the passage? A. Hope Remaining at the Funeral B. A Heavenly Encounter C. Two Funerals at One Time D. Seeking God’s Everlasting Love 【答案】1.C 2. D 3.B 【分析】
1. 细节理解题。根据第二段的“my sister had a new baby and my brother had recently married
his childhood sweetheart…”,故选C。
2. 推断题。根据文章The author and Rick应该是23年前第一次相遇。应该是Rick在 Lutheran
Church。Rick’s aunt 的名字是Mary。从“…came out as laughter. Sharp looks (犀利的目光)from other mourners(哀悼者)…”判断D。
3. 根据全文，且最后一段的“Whenever anyone asks us how we met, Rick tells them, 'Her mother
and my Aunt Mary introduced us, and it's truly a match made in heaven.”，选B。
(B)

About Old Faithful – The Most Famous Geyser(间歇性喷泉) in the World Discovered in 1870 by the Washburn Expedition, Old Faithful geyser was named for its frequent eruptions(喷发) — which number more than a million since Yellowstone became the world’s first national park in 1872. When does Old Faithful erupt? Basic prediction of Old Faithful is dependent upon the duration of the previous eruption. During visitor center hours, geyser statistics and predictions are maintained by the naturalist staff. People speak of the average time between eruptions. This is misleading. The mathematical average between eruptions of Old Faithful is currently 74 minutes, but it doesn’t like to act average! Intervals can range from 60-110 minutes. Visitors can check for posted prediction times in most buildings in the Old Faithful area. How high does Old Faithful erupt and how long will it last? Old Faithful can vary in height from 100-180 feet with an average near 130-140 feet. This has been the historical range of its recorded height. Eruptions normally last between 1.5 to 5 minutes. I heard Old Faithful isn’t as faithful as it used to be. Is it slowing down? It depends on what you call faithful. The famous geyser currently erupts around 20 times a day and can be predicted with a 90 percent confidence rate within a 10 minute variation. Prior to the 1959 earthquake, Old Faithful erupted 21 times per day. That’s a significant decrease in activity for geologists tracking each eruption, but to visitors seeing one or two eruptions . . . it looks just fine. How many gallons of water are expelled during an eruption? It depends on the duration of the eruption. Scientists estimate that the amount ranges from 3,700 gallons (for a short duration of 1.5 minutes) to 8,400 gallons (for a longer duration of 4.5 minutes). How hot is the water in Old Faithful? During an eruption, the water temperature at the vent has been measured at 204°F (95.6°C). The steam temperature has been measured above 350°F! 1.You and your friend just watched the eruption of Old Faithful at 12:26 p.m., at what time is it possible for you to enjoy the next one? A. 13:10 B. 15:06 C. 14:06 D. 13:16 2. Which one of the following statement about Old Faithful is true? A. The geyser’s name gives people an indication that it always erupts regularly, about 20 times each day, once every 74 minutes.
B. When it is erupting, people should keep a safe distance from that due to the huge amount of water it expels as well as its freezing coldness.

C. Old Faithful is a well-known geyser which can expel at least 3700 gallons water each time and it’s located in the world’s largest national park.
D. If visitors want to check the eruption time, they may refer to the posted timetables, on which the predictions are calculated by the naturalists. 3. Where does the article most probably appear? A.The Yellowstone official website. B. Local travel pamphlets introducing Yellowstone. C. A recently-issued guide book on Yellowstone. D. A travel magazine column about Yellowstone. 【答案】1.C 2.D 3.A 【分析】
1.细节理解题。根据第二段Intervals can range from 60-110 minutes.可知12:26加上110分钟得出14:16.所以答案C。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段Basic prediction of Old Faithful is dependent upon the duration of the previous eruption. During visitor center hours, geyser statistics and predictions are maintained by the naturalist staff。

Science advances fastest when data and conclusions are shared as quickly as possible. Yet it is common practice for medical researchers to conceal results for months or years until research is published in an academic journal. Even then, the data supporting a study are often not revealed.
The motive to withhold findings is powerful. Journal papers are the key measure of a scientist’s productivity. To win research money and get promoted, scientists need to increase an impressive list of publications. Yet the delays in spreading knowledge have the capacity to do real harm. Nor are elite journals the guardians of quality that they often claim to be. The number of papers so flawed that they need to be retracted has risen sharply in the past two decades. Studies in elite journals (such as Nature and Science) are no statistically stronger than those in lesser journals.
Science should not, and need not, be restrained by journal publication. Three sensible reforms would ensure that researchers’ results could be communicated to more people more quickly, without any decline in quality. Step one is for the organizations that finance research to demand that scientists put their academic papers, along with their experimental data, in publicly accessible “databases” before they are sent to a journal. That would allow other researchers to make use of the findings without delay. Those opposing such “preprints” argue that they allow work of poor quality to grow wildly because it has not yet been peer-reviewed. That may surprise physicists and mathematicians, who have been posting work to arXiv, a preprint database, for more than 25 years with no ill effects.
Step two is to improve the process of peer review itself. Journals currently administer a system of organizing anonymous peer reviewers to pass judgment on new research—a fact they use, in part, to justify their sky-high subscription prices. But this process tends to be abused. At its worst, groups of researchers are suspected of guaranteeing favorable reviews for each other’s work. Better that reviewers are named and that the reviews are published. The Gates foundation has announced
