Stories Behind Famous Company Names
Inventor Caleb Bradham had originally wanted to be a doctor but started working in a
pharmacy when he returned home to North Carolina. In 1893, he made up what he first called
“Brad’s Drink,” a mix of water, sugar, caramel, lemon oil, nutmeg, and other flavors. Five
years later, he renamed it Pepsi-Cola. He claimed the drink could help with digestion(消化),
or dyspepsia, the term from which Bradham adapted the name Pepsi.
This luxury car maker combined elements from the Ford and Oldsmobile companies
when it was started in 1902 and later became known for its innovation and high quality. The
company was named after the French explorer Antoine Laumet de la Mothe Cadillac, who
founded the city of Detroit in 1701.
Company co-founder Gordon Bowker has said that while brainstorming names, someone
brought out a map that featured the old mining town of Starbo. That may have led him to
think of Starbuck, the first mate in Herman Melville’s famous novel, Moby Dick. Not only
the company name but also the origin of its logo has aroused great curiosity.
The inventor of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, was looking to make an elegant, yet precise,
wristwatch. He wanted a name that was easy to say, worked in different languages, and looked
good on the watches. He settled on Rolex in 1908.

This little South American Magellanic penguin swims 5,000 miles, to a beach in Brazil, every year in order to
be reunited with the man who saved its life. It sounds like something out of a fairy tale, but it’s true!
71-year-old retired brick worker Joao, who lives in an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, found
the small Magellanic penguin lying on rocks at his local beach in 2011. The penguin was covered in oil and running
out of time fast. Joao rescued the penguin, naming it Din, cleaned the oil off its feathers and fed him a daily diet of
fish to rebuild its strength. After a week of recovery, Joao attempted to release the penguin back into the wild.
However, Din had already formed a family bond with his rescuer and wouldn’t leave.
“He stayed with me for 11 months and then, just after he changed his coat with new feathers, he disappeared,”
Joao recalls. “I love the penguin like it’s my own child and I believe the penguin loves me,” Joao told Globo TV. “No
one else is allowed to touch him. He pecks (啄) them if they do. He lies on my lap, lets me give him showers, and
allows me to feed him.”
Professor Krajewski, a biologist who interviewed the fisherman for Globo TV, told The Independent: “I have
never seen anything like this before. I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin as
well.”
However, environmentalists warn that, while hundreds of the Magellanic species are known to naturally migrate
(迁徙) thousands of miles north in search of food, there has been a worrying rise in the phenomenon of oceanic
creatures washing up on Brazil’s beaches. Professor David Zee from Rio de Janeiro’s State University, said the
increase is due in part to global climatic changes. Professor Zee added that sea animals face increased danger from
leaked tanker oil.
Luckily the ending for Joao and Din has been a happy one, even though it is illegal in Brazil to keep wild animals
as pets.
Professor Krajewski said, “Professionals who work with animals try to avoid relationships like this occurring so
they are able to reintroduce the animal into the wild. But in this single case the authorities allowed Din to stay with
Joao because of his kindness.”
24. Every year Din swims a long distance to a beach in Brazil to_______.
A. avoid being killed B. meet his rescuer
C. escape from ocean currents D. find much more fish
第3页/共8页
25. When Din was found in 2011,_______.
A. he was dying B. he was running on the beach
C. he was resting on a rock D. he was cleaning oil off his feathers
26. What can we learn about Joao from the passage
A.He is not allowed to keep the penguin as a pet by the authorities.
B.He overprotects the penguin by keeping him away from others.
C.His contact with the penguin is encouraged by professionals.
D.His kindness wins the penguin’s trust.
27. The story in the passage mainly shows_______.
A.the environmental impact on wildlife
B.the love between humans and wildlife
C.the tendency of wildlife to bond with humans
D.the protection of threatened wildlife by mankind

In 2012, James Cameron, creator of Avatar and Titanic, became the first person to reach the Challenger Deep.
When he arrived at the deepest spot on Earth at 7 miles below sea level, he spent hours mapping the region and taking
photos and samples.
“As human beings, we’re drawn to absolutes—the deepest, the highest, the coldest, the farthest,” he says. “And
as a storyteller and curious monkey, I just wanted to see what was there.” The answer is obvious—plastic and more.
“Our so-called civilization is using the ocean as its toilet,” Cameron says. “Unless this changes, ocean ecosystems
are going to continue their rapid collapse.”
Despite decades of environmental studies, the impact of plastic and other forms of pollution on oceans are not
entirely understood. Initial studies appear to indicate that ingesting(摄取) them—either directly or indirectly—could
cause disease. Plastics can also release poisonous substances into the water, which could potentially impact animal
populations.
But plastic is just one of the problems facing oceans that have yet to be fully understood. “Plastic waste in the
ocean is horrifying but is only the most obvious of our many deadly waste streams, which include carbon that’s
heating the atmosphere and making the ocean acidic, and the run-off nutrients from all the world’s agriculture, which
is causing anoxic(缺氧的) dead zones the size of countries,” Cameron says.
Oceans, like the rest of the world, are impacted by the burning of fossil fuels and the release of greenhouse gases
like carbon dioxide—about 30 percent of which is absorbed by the sea. This absorption causes ocean acidification,
where the pH level is altered to become more acidic. As a result, it’s harder for some creatures to form shells and
skeletons and countless species at the base of the food web can struggle to survive, which, scientists say, has the
potential to cause huge disruptions to entire ecosystems. Indeed, ocean acidification is thought to have played an
important role in Earth’s worst-ever mass extinction event 252 million years ago.
The effect of climate change on the world’s oceans will likely worsen in coming decades. Last June, scientists
announced carbon dioxide levels had reached the highest levels since human records began. The last time carbon
dioxide levels were this high was during the Pliocene era, between 3 and 5 million years ago, when global
temperatures were about 4 degrees Celsius warmer than they are today. Current climate models suggest that if
greenhouse gas emissions continue on their current trend, we may be on course to see 4 degrees of warming by 2100.

C. Plastic is supposed to be the most serious environmental problem.
D. Ocean acidification removes the nutrients from agricultural products.
30. What does the underlined word “disruptions” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Decreases. B. Destruction.
C. Diseases. D. Discrimination.
31. Why does the author mention the mass extinction event 252 million years ago
A. To call on people to protect sea animals.
B. To compare current situations with the past.

D
The argument that human-caused carbon emissions(排放) are merely a drop in the bucket compared to
greenhouse gases generated by volcanoes has been making its way around the rumor mill for years. And while it
seems to be reasonable, the science just doesn’t back it up.
According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the world’s volcanoes, both on land and undersea, generate
about 200 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually, while our automotive and industrial activities cause some
24 billion tons of CO2 emissions every year worldwide. Despite the arguments to the contrary, the facts speak for
themselves: Greenhouse gas emissions from volcanoes compose less than one percent of those generated by today’s
human activities.
Another indication that human emissions surpass those of volcanoes is the fact that atmospheric CO2 levels, as
measured by sampling stations around the world, have gone up consistently year after year regardless of whether or
not there have been major volcanic eruptions in specific years. “If it were true that individual volcanic eruptions
dominated human emissions and were causing the rise in carbon dioxide concentrations, then these carbon dioxide
records would be full of spikes —one for each eruption,” says Coby Beck, a journalist writing for online
environmental news. “Instead, such records show a smooth and regular trend.”
Furthermore, some scientists believe that volcanic eruptions, like that of Mt.St. Helens in 1980 and Mt. Pinatubo
in 1991, actually lead to short-term global cooling, not warming, as sulfur dioxide (SO2), ash and other particles in
the air and stratosphere(平流层) reflect some solar energy instead of letting it into Earth’s atmosphere. SO2, which
converts to sulfuric acid aerosol, when it hits the stratosphere, can linger there for as long as seven years and can
exercise a cooling effect long after a volcanic eruption has taken place.
Scientists tracking the effects of the major 1991 eruption of the Philippines’ Mt. Pinatubo found that the overall
effect of the blast was to cool the surface of the Earth globally by some 0.5 degrees Celsius a year later, even though
rising human greenhouse gas emissions and an El Nino event caused some surface warming during the 1991-1993

study period.
In an interesting twist on the issue, British researchers last year published an article in the peer reviewed
scientific journal Nature showing how volcanic activity may be contributing to the melting of ice caps in Antarctica
but not because of any emissions, natural or man-made. Instead, scientists Hugh Corr and David Vaughan of the
British Antarctic Survey believe that volcanoes underneath Antarctica may be melting the continents ice sheets from
below, just as warming air temperatures from human-induced emissions erode them from above.
32. According to Paragraph 1, some people argue that .
A. their opinion is supported by science
B. volcanoes generate most of the greenhouse gases
C. human activities are to blame for greenhouse gases
D. carbon emissions produced by volcanoes are increasing
33. What does the underlined word “spikes” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Sudden increases. B. Smooth trends.
C. Stable regularities. D. Sharp declines.
34. The purpose of the passage is to .
A. compare the results of the studies
B. contradict a view held by some people
C. present new findings for greenhouse phenomenon
D. report the effects of CO2, in greenhouse phenomenon

Farms of the Future
Skyscrapers (摩天大楼) are the ultimate symbol of urban life. By 2050, almost 80 percent of the earth’s
population could live in cities. The human population could increase to 9.1 billion people yet the amount of land
available for farming will be the same.____35____
Vertical farms, where farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution.
In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers to
grow crops.____36____
Vertical farms would have many advantages, experts say. The food would be grown with minimal effects on the
environment. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming would not force animals out of their habitats by taking over
large areas of land, nor would it pollute the air with the use of heavy farming equipment.____37____These have been
well recognized.
Growing prosperity has led to many people demanding that all foods are available all year round. Indoor farming
could produce crops constantly and crops would not suffer from weather-related problems like drought or flooding.
In addition, the use of agricultural chemicals for controlling insects would be minimal.
____38____They point out that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during
the day, it wouldn’t be enough. The plants closest to the windows would grow much more quickly than the plants
further inside. The plants growing away from the windows may not produce as many or as high quality

vegetables.____39____They would need additional light sources.
Experts agree that the new farming practices are needed to support the planet’s need for more and more food at
affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer. Vertical farms may be a small-scale answer, but the best
ideas could be yet to come.
A. Still, there are some people who are critical of vertical farms.
B. That is where vertical farms are often needed for year-round crops.
C. So how to meet the increasing food needs of our planet could be a big problem.
D. For these reasons, natural light cannot be a workable solution for vertical farms.
E. Vertically grown food is grown in environmentally controlled conditions in big cities.
F. Those farms would also reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over distances.
G. They believe that we can increase the food production by changing our thinking from out to up.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
When 16-year-old Violet Brill looks out her window, she doesn’t see only grass and trees—she sees a great meal.
Her father, famous plant expert Steve “Wildman” Brill, carried her along on his foraging(户外觅食) tours from the
time she was a little girl.
In the past decade or so, a renewed interest in foraging for edible(可食用的) plants has begun to appear—an
interest that has truly blossomed recently.
“I think we’ve had a lot of time to get outdoors, and look around,” says Adele Nozedar, author of Foraging for
Kids. “There is rapid growth in foraging in the past year.”
Kids are natural-born foragers. Take them out into the woods and they’ll happily gather fallen leaves, or root
around in the undergrowth for hidden treasures. Foraging is definitely a gateway to nature. Kids learn quickly that
it’s not just a bunch of green stuff outside. All those plants have a purpose.
And by encouraging a love of nature, foraging also encourages a love of the environment. “Having a strong
connection to the land means you’re more likely to protect it,” says Dave Hamilton, author of Family Foraging. “And
you can’t get much more connected to the land than eating from it.”
Plus, foraging brings good news for parents of picky eaters: When kids search for and pick their own food,
they’re more likely to be invested in it. Foraging for wild edibles encourages kids to try new, nutritious foods—
especially kids who tend to turn their noses up at the vegetables on their plates.
For instance, Hamilton remembers taking a group of boys camping and asking them to gather enough
lambsquarters for dinner. They came back with three days’ worth of the greens, which he turned into apesto(青酱).
“They absolutely loved it,” he says. “There’s something empowering about finding your own food, especially
for kids.”
40. What interest has begun to appear recently
41. According to Dave, what is the benefit of foraging
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Parents of picky eaters welcome foraging because the foraged foods are new and nutritious.
