A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston. They walked without an appointment（预约）into the outer 1 of Harvard’s president. But they were 2 by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them, 3 that the couple would finally become 4 and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though5 .A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a 6 face. The lady told him, “We had a son that 7 Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was 8 here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to 9 a memorial（纪念物）to him, somewhere on campus.”The president wasn’t 10 . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,” he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and died. If we did, this 11 would look like a cemetery（墓地）,” “Oh, no,” the lady 12 quickly “We don’t want to put up a statue. We would like to give a 13 to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes and 14 at the couple and then exclaimed,” A building! Do you have any 15 how much a building costs? We have spent over $7 500 000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was 16 ,because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, “Is that all it costs to start a 17 ? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded. 18 their offer was turned down, Mr. and Mrs. Stanford traveled to California where they founded the University that bears their19 ,a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer 20 about.( ) b B. library C. hall D. office答案:D( ) 2.A.watched B. stopped C. followed D. interviewed 答案:B( ) 3.A.hoping B. finding C. realizing D. imagining( ) 4.A.surprised B. disappointed C. worried D. troubled 答案:B( ) 5.A.hopelessly B. carefully C. unexpectedly D. unwillingly 答案:D( ) 6.A.pleasant B. funny C. cold D. sad答案:C( ) 7.A.attended B. visited C. studied D. served答案:A( ) 8.A.clever B. brave C. proud D. happy答案:D( ) 9.A.set about B. set up C. take down D. take over答案:B( ) 10.A.satisfied B. excited C. moved D. ashamed答案:C( ) 11.A.house B.part C.garden D.place 答案:D( ) 12.A.explained B. expressed C. refused D. admitted答案:A( ) 13.A.building B. yard C. playground D. square答案:A( ) ughed B. shouted C. glanced D. called答案:C( ) 15.A.suggestion B. idea C. thought D. opinion答案:B( ) 16.A.bored B. astonished C. interested D. pleased答案:D( ) 17.A.department B. university C. business D. club 答案:B( ) 18.A.Once B. While C. Since D. Though( ) B. character C. picture D. sign答案:A( ) 20.A.talked B. knew C. heard D. cared答案:D1. 提示:夫妇二人来到的地方是哈佛大学校长的……，根据后文中提到了秘书，结合常识，应知他们到达的地方应是校长办公室的外间。
2. 提示:从后文中的“keep waiting”与前文中的“without appointment”可推知他们应该被秘书挡住了。
3. 提示:从“For hours, the secretary took no notice of them”及后文中的go away可知，秘书是希望他们走开。
4. 提示:夫妇两人会因为等的时间过长而变得无望，从而自己走开。
5. 提示:从文中可知秘书希望他们自己因无望而离开，但夫妇二人的坚持使之无奈地去找校长，自然，这样做是不情愿的，故用unwillingly。
6. 提示:从上下文中的没有预约，可知校长是不情愿地接见夫妇二人，脸色自然不好，态度不热情，故用cold“冷漠的”。
7. 提示:从后文可知他们的儿子是在哈佛学习，应该用study in Harvard或attend Harvard。
8. 提示:用clever或brave不符合上下文语境，用proud后需加of构成be proud of 结构。
因此可推知他们的孩子在哈佛生活、学习得很愉快，故用happy。
9. 提示:为儿子建立一个纪念物。
建立应用set up。
set about开始做……；take down 取下；拿下；take over接收；接管。
10. 提示:从文意来看，校长并没有被夫妇二人的话打动，相反的是感到震惊并拒绝了他们的请求。
11. 提示:“If we did”，意为“如果我们同意在哈佛校园为你们的儿子建立纪念物的话”，由此可知下文提到的是哈佛这个地方。
12. 提示:后文是那位女士对校长的解释，故用explain。
13. 提示:从后文中校长所说的话:“A building!...”可知。
14. 提示:从上文中“rolled his eyes”及下文中的话可知，校长不相信夫妇二人能负担得起盖一座楼，因此看他们也使用轻视的目光，故用glance。
laugh at意为“嘲笑”；shout at意为“对……大喊大叫”；call at意为“拜访（某地）”。
而exclaim为“大声说”，因此排除laugh与shout。
15. 提示:idea主意，概念；suggestion建议，提议；thought想法；opinion观点。
根据语境应用idea。
16. 提示:从上下文可知，那女子不说话了，校长认为能“get rid of them”，自然地，他会感到高兴。
17. 提示:从上文“We ha ve spent over $7 500 000 on the campus building at Harvard.”可知，此处应是创办一所大学。
18. 提示:上下文为因果关系，故用since。
19. 提示:bear one’s name“用……的名字”。
从常识也应该知道，美国加利福尼亚出名的大学是斯坦福大学，文中又提到了Stanford夫妇，故可知A项正确。
20. 提示:take about谈论；know about了解；hear about听说；care about在乎；在意。
阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
(2013·南昌市二模，C)“Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide，”said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.“We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected，”the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could ber isking negative consequences that we can't yet quantify.”The change was big in coldblooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism (新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. There is a recent report onwarmer temperatures' negative effects on plankton, the base of the marine ecosystem.Warmblooded animals weren't immune from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker. And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records.This is not the first time this has happened in Earth's history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a long time than the current climate change.The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times. So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future.文章大意：本文是一篇科普说明文。
