2．I saw my first tree today.Dad used to tell me stories about the trees that still existed when he was a boy.There weren't very many even then，with the urbanization program in full swing.
The O'Brien home was one of the few examples of old-style wooden structures that hadn't been destroyed in Boston's urban-renewal campaign.The family had been able to avoid this because of its wealth and political influence，and the house was passed on through generations to the present.Old man O'Brien had no children，so when he died，the Urban Center bought it.Then an official discovered that the house had a backyard-in the yard was a live tree!
When the news of the tree's discovery leaked out，quite a few sightseers stopped by to have a look at it，and the local government，realizing the money-making potential，began charging admission and advertising the place.By now it had become a favorite spot for family trips like ours.
Dad paid the fee and we walked through a doorway hidden in a bookshelf and into the backyard.I just couldn't help noticing the tree!
It was located at one end of the yard，with a fence around it for protection.It was similar in form to the plastic trees I'd seen，but there was much more.You could see details more delicate than in any artificially made plant.And it was alive.But best of all was the smell-fresh，living smell，unfamiliar to the world outside with metal，plastic，and glass.I wanted to touch the bark，but the fence prevented me from doing so.
On the way back，I read through the brochures.One part said the O'Brien home would be torn down next year to make room for some insurance building，and the tree will have to go，too.
I just sat still，fingering the object in my pocket that I had picked in the O'Brien's backyard.I think it's called an acorn（橡子）.
（1）Why could the tree in the O'Brien's backyard survive till today？
A．It possessed some special characteristics.
B．It had a very strong fence around to protect it.
C．It was preserved together with the house by its owner.
D．It got the local government's attention as a tourist attraction.
（2）How might the author feel after the trip？
A．Annoyed.
B．Calm.
C．Excited.
D．Upset.
（3）Which statement best shows the theme of the passage？
A．Social progress and urbanization come at a cost.
B．Social progress should give way to nature protection.
C．Humans value nature protection over social progress.
D．Urbanization has more advantages than disadvantages.组卷：8引用：1难度：0.5 -
3．Thanks to its harsh environment，Antarctica remained largely untouched by humans for many millennia，allowing a thriving ecosystem to evolve.However，since the 1990s，the last true wilderness on the planet is becoming an increasingly popular destination for adventure-seeking tourists.Now，a new study declares that the visitors may be leaving behind harmful bacteria which could devastate the area's native bird population.
Humans can infect animals with illnesses such as the flu.Researchers，however，believed that the Antarctic animals were immune to the danger due to the continent's extreme weather.However，microbiologist Marta Cerda-Cuellar was not convinced.
She and some colleagues decided to examine waste samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human bacteria.To ensure the waste was not polluted，the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves.
The results of their study revealed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste.This included a common strain（品种）of bacteria that causes food poisoning in humans.The researchers say the bacteria strains were resistant to commonly-used human antibiotics，indicating they were brought in by the visitors，rather than migratory birds（候鸟）.
"These strains，which are a common cause for infections in humans and livestock，do not usually cause death outbreaks in wild animals，" says Gonzalez-Solis. "However，the emerging or invasive pathogens（病原体）that arrive to highly sensitive populations could have severe consequences and cause the local collapse and extinction of some populations." The researcher also fears the presence of these bugs could foreshadow the arrival of other，more deadly，pathogens as the number of tourists people increases.
Experts believe the only way to prevent the mass destruction of the birds is to impose stricter regulations or，at least，put the ones already in place into effect.For example，while the Antarctica Treaty requires visitors to carry their waste back home to safeguard the pristine environment，the regulation is rarely enforced.Nowadays，some officials are taking steps to save the vulnerable birds before it's too late.
（1）What problem is Antarctica facing according to Paragraph 1&2？
A．The increasing number of tourists.
B．The worsening wilderness.
C．The replaced native bird population.
D．The spread of infectious illnesses.
（2）What does the underlined word "devastate" mean？
A．Destroy.
B．Increase.
C．Protect.
D．Benefit.
（3）Why did the scientists need to catch some Antarctic animals？
A．To treat their illness.
B．To get their waste.
C．To raise them as pets.
D．To study their lifestyles.
（4）What did the scientists prove in their study？
A．Bacteria can be killed by human antibiotics.
B．Extreme weather keeps Antarctic animals healthy.
C．Humans bring bacteria to Antarctica.
D．Antarctic animals are immune to human bacteria.组卷：11引用：1难度：0.6

"Now，parents and students separate into two groups.You will be reunited at the end of the campus tour. "
Groups of incoming freshmen happily left their parents upon hearing this announcement.I was less than thrilled about starting college，let alone leaving my mother's side to tour the campus with other freshmen；I felt a little anxious.
We followed the senior tour guide.The other freshmen chatted and made casual introductions as I dragged behind.How could I have believed I was ready for this？After all，it had only been a few months since I left the hospital.I was feeling better for the first time in years.But college...？
My thinking was interrupted by a sweet female voice，"Hi，I'm Jennifer." "I'm Lauren，" I replied. "Where do you prefer to live？At home or on campus？" she smiled. "I'm not sure，" I said. "You should live on campus！It will be a lot of fun！" she said.Before I could reply，the tour guide announced it was time to create our schedules and select the courses we wanted to take.
We crowded into the Student Activity Center.Three seniors handed out thick course bulletins（课程公告）and forms that needed to be filled out.All around me，the sounds of turning papers and writing sounded like those given by an alarm clock.Others seemed to be moving through the process quickly but I hadn't even opened my course catalog（目录）.
"Focus，" I told myself. "Just read through the catalog and find the courses you like and a schedule that works." Psychology A or B，Geology 101，English，History，sections 1，2，3...The list went on and on.
I panicked and almost started to cry.How was I supposed to know how to complete it？I was just relearning how to live in the real world，and they wanted me to make a schedule.How I wished someone could help me.
Paragraph 1：
Soon，other freshmen were handing in their forms.___________.
Paragraph 2：
Then，I felt a warm hand on my shoulder.___________.组卷：14引用：1难度：0.2
