（A）

Raised in France by her country physician grandfather, Petaluman Laura Reiehek will be recognized for her work helping the homeless, immigrants and elders and she received the Rev. James E. Coffee Human Rights Awards for 2006.

Her grandfather devoted his whole life to making life better for others and was killed by Nazi soldiers in 1944. She was there when the soldiers took her grandfather’s life: “I hid under a pile of leaves. But, you know, I heard it.”

She straggled to work through her anger and hate, but it was necessary for her own survival and serf-respect. After the war, she married Jesse Reichek, an American soldier in France, and they eventually settled in the Bay Area, where he grew to become an artist. They came to Petaluma from Berkeley when he needed more room to paint. They built their own home and treasured their time together.

Reichek’s years of volunteer work began with caring for an old lady in Sonoma County, which made her sensitive to the fact that many older people were living in bad places. So Reichek created Petaluma’s first senior center. Then she noticed homeless people. With Mary Isaac, she co-founded COTS 15 years ago.

These days, she is busier than ever, helping Latino immigrant families and visiting seniors in nursing homes. “Our goal is to promote and educate people in understanding and tolerance (忍受). We must learn to understand and celebrate our differences”, said event chairman Harry Troutt, who serves on the commission.

36. The Rev. James E. Coffee Human Rights Awards may be given to _________.

A. the students who study well

B. the workers who work very hard

C. the volunteers who do a lot to others

D. the scientists who do scientific research

37. The underlined word “it” (in paragraph 2) refers to ________.

A. Reichek’s grandfather was killed

B. Reichek’s grandfather had a hard life

C. Reichek received an award in 2006

D. Reichek survived at last

38. According to the passage, COTS should be an organization that __________.

A. offers help to the senior people

B. helps the hopeless people

C. teaches people painting

D. arranges volunteers’ work

39. Jesse Reichek moved to Petaluma from Berkeley because he _________.

A. needed more place to paint

B. wanted to be an artist

C. wanted to help the homeless people

D. lost his job in Berkeley

(B)

Scientists recently discovered that pictures on cave walls at Creswell Crags are the oldest known in Great Britain. But they didn’t find out in the usual way.

Archaeologists often date cave art with a process called radiocarbon dating. The technique can measure the age of carbon found in charcoal (木炭) drawings or painted pictures. Carbon is an element found in many things, including charcoal and even people. But in this case, there was no paint or charcoal to test. People carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock using stone tools. The scientists had an “aha!” moment when they noticed small rocks stuck to the top of the drawings. The small rocks must have formed after the drawings were made.

“It is rare to be able to scientifically date rock art,” said Alistair Pike, an archaeological scientist at Britain’s University of Bristol. “We were very fortunate that some of the engravings were covered by stalagmites（石笋).

When a test proved that the stalagmites formed 12,800 years ago, the scientists knew the art underneath them had to be at least that old. And some of the animals shown, like the European bison, are now extinct--another tip-off that the art is quite old.

The artists came to Creswell Crags, This place is one of the farthest points north reached by our ancient ancestors during the Ice Age. At that time, much of the North Sea was dry, so people could move about more easily.

Some tools and bones found there are 13,000 to 15,000 years old. They show that the travelers hunted horses, reindeer, and arctic hare. Their artwork is similar to art in France and Germany. It tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have had a close connection to peoples several thousand kilometers away－another important clue to understanding how humans spread out across the world.

40. Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?

A. Cave Art About Animals Is Most Beautiful

B. Cave Art Found in an Unusual Way

C. Cave Art Turns Out to Be Britain’s Oldest

D. Cave Art in Britain

41. The underlined word “archaeologists” in this passage probably means people ________.

A. who study things left behind by people in the past

B. who have rich experience in painting

C. who are interested in wild animals

D. who are good at using stone tools

42. Why do scientists say the art is quite old?

A. The art was carved into stone with stone tools.

B. The animals carved in the stone are beautiful.

C. The cave is one of the farthest point in the world.

D. Some pictures were covered by stalagmites more than 10,000 years old.

43. By studying the cave art, scientists know something about _________.

A. how ancient people crossed the North Sea

B. why some of the animals have died out

C. how humans spread out across the world

D. what kind of animals people hunt at that time

One possible version:

The Green School Project has become part of the environmental education in our school. However, there are still a lot of problem in the school.

Very often you come across an empty classroom with the lights still on. It’s not difficult to find evidence of wasting water, a very serious problem. Additionally, students do not recycle enough, throwing away the soft drink bottles, used exercise papers and books. Worse still, many students still use the non-environmental friendly lunch boxes, causing the “white pollution”.

These things should that many students lack the sense of environmental awareness. It’s important to educate students to be more environmentally friendly. At the same time, students can do small things, such as collecting used items for recycling, turning off the lights, saving water. Always remember that it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect the environment.
