The oldest and hardest cow beef may be made as tender and tasty as young and choice met. ”This declaration was made by the French physicist Denis Papin in book published in 1681, which described his “New Digester” or pressure cooker.  It was a cast iron pot with an air-tight lid, which allowed liquids to boil at a higher temperature than usual, and so it cooked food in a quarter of the time.  The food was cooked by pressurized steam being forced through it at about 121℃.  All pressure cookers were made of cast iron until 1905,  when the first aluminum model was made in America. In 1938, Alfred Vischer, a man from Chicago, U. S. A., designed a simple interlocking pan and lid, and an improved pressure-tight seal（密封）—a replaceable rubber sealing ring. When Vischer’s patent（專利）expired in 1954,  many companies entered the field,  and the rapid pressure cooker became popular with people with people who had little time to cook or had to supply food for unexpected guests.

      Eleven-year-old Evan Green doesn’t want to save just one tree－h(huán)e wants to save a whole rainforest!
      In the Redwood City, Calif., a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four years ago to do just that. So far, the team’s members have raised $4,500. That’s enough to purchase and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center for Ecosystem survival.
      Every year, thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide. Logging（伐木）and farming are mostly likely to blame, scientists say. The loss is terrible news for animals and people. Even though rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth, they are home to half the world’s plants and animals. Rainforests also provide water and help control the earth’s climate.
      Evan’s work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barron prize for Young Heroes. The prizes are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world. Evan’s goal is “to save enough rainforests to last forever”. He won’t have to do it alone. His actions have already inspired other kids to chip in. One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday. She raised $850. Other kids are starting their own conservation teams. 
      Evan says everyone can help the planet－even by taking small steps such as recycling. He and his family try to make a difference every day. “We recycle, we try to limit our garbage… we’ve been walking a little more, and we buy local food,” Evan said.
      48. How much does it cost to buy and protect an acre of rainforest in Costa Rica?
      A. About $4,500.      B. About $850.     C. About $280.     D. About $1,000.
      49. The underlined phrase “chip in” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
      A. look at                                    B. contribute money
      C. ask for birthday presents               D. donate gifts
      50. What Evan said in the last paragraph suggests that _________.
      A. we can all do something to protect the earth 
      B. actions speak louder than words 
      C. we should learn to recycle from now on
      51. What would be the best title for the passage?
      A. Evan Green-a famous teenager    B. The Red Dragon Conservation Team
      C. Rainforests are being destroyed    D. Boy gathers support for rainforests

      Claude and Louris are “giraffes”. So are police officers Hankins and Pearson. These men and women don’t look like giraffes; they look like you and me. Then, why do people call them “giraffes”?
      A giraffe, they say, is an animal that sticks its neck out, can see places far away and has a large heart. It lives a quiet life and moves about in an easy and beautiful way. In the same way, a “giraffe” can be a person who likes to “stick his or her neck out” for other people, always watches for future happenings, has a warm heart for people around, and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life himself or herself.
      “The Giraffe Project” is a 10-year-old group which finds and honors “giraffes” in the US and in the world. The group wants to teach people to do something to build a better world. The group members believe that a person shouldn’t draw his or her head back; instead, they tell people to “stick their neck out” and help others. Claude and Louris, Hankins and Pearson are only a few of the nearly 1,000 “giraffes” that the group found and honored. 
      Claude and Louris were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved for future use. One day, however, they saw a homeless man looking for a place to keep warm and they decided that they should “stick their neck out” and give him some help. Today, they lived in Friends’ House, where they invite twelve homeless people to stay every night.
      Police officers Hankins and Pearson work in a large city. They see crimes every day and their work is sometimes dangerous. They work hard for their money. However, these two men put their savings together and even borrowed money to start an educational center to teach young people in a poor part of the city. Hankins and Pearson are certainly “giraffes”.
      56. Which of the following is true? 
       A. Some of the people around us look like giraffes.
       B. Giraffes are the most beautiful animal in the world.
       C. “Giraffes” is a beautiful name for those who are ready to help other people.
       D. A “giraffe” is someone who can stick his neck out and see the future.
      57. “The Giraffe Project” is a group _____.
       A. of police officers        B. which appeared ten years ago
       C. of ten-year-old children   D. which takes care of children
      58. People call Claude and Hankins “giraffes” because they _____.
       A. do what is needed for a good world       B. are not afraid of dangerous work
       C. found a home for some homeless people   D. made money only for other people
      59. The passage mainly tries to tell us _____.
      A. what giraffes are like
      B. what the Giraffe Project is
      C. why Claude, Louris, Hankins and Pearson are called “giraffes” 
      D. what we should do for a better world

      Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities (死亡) have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related destruction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life had been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis, and other observable events resulting from earthquakes, rather than from quakes themselves.
      The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses. The other extends from the East Indians to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time. 
      This element of unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dead and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth's shell, variations in the earth's force of attraction, and the frequency with which minor earth shakes are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in expecting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected. 
      It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.
      60. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
      A. Earthquakes destruction is declining.
      B. Man is capable of conquering earthquakes.
      C. Man is no longer fearful of earthquakes.
      D. Earthquake forecast is improving.
      61. We can infer from the passage that quakes _______ .
      A. mostly strike in oceans and mountains
      B. may happen anywhere at any time
      C. are unperceivable in masses of land
      D. are hardly the direct cause of fatalities 
      62. The underlined phrase "This element of unknown" in Paragraph 3 refers to__. 
      A. the extension of earthquake zones
      B. the percentage of earthquake occurrences
      C. when and where earthquakes may occur
      D. what big damage earthquakes may cause
      63. Man's research on earthquake forecast at present is to _________ .
      A. lower the frequency of earthquakes
      B. release the energy that causes earthquakes 
      C. reduce the loss from earthquake disasters
      D. analyze the relationship between different earthquakes
