(CNN) — An ultra-marathoner trying to “run” from Florida to Bermuda in a human-powered inflatable (充气的) bubble was rescued Saturday morning, after he signaled for help, the Coast Guard said.
Reza Baluchi, according to his website, has set a goal of running across more than 190 recognized nations to encourage world peace.
The Coast Guard first encountered Baluchi on Wednesday after receiving a report about a man in a bubble off the coast of Miami, disoriented and asking for directions to Bermuda, a Coast Guard press release said. It was not clear when he started his adventure.
A Coast Guard ship found Baluchi. Officials described the craft as a “hydro pod bubble” and a man in a 2013 YouTube video called a Baluchi bubble “a big hamster wheel.” It moved along the ground as Baluchi ran inside.
In the press release, the Coast Guard said Baluchi had protein bars, bottled water, a GPS and a satellite phone. The Coast Guard conveyed the voyage’s dangers and asked Baluchi to quit his journey because he didn’t have enough supplies. But he wouldn’t leave his bubble, officials said.
The Coast Guard monitored his progress and on Saturday morning exhausted Baluchi activated(激活) his personal locating beacon(灯塔), the Coast Guard said.
A Coast Guard airplane and a helicopter, along with the boat Maersk Montana, were sent to rescue Baluchi 70 nautical miles east of St. Augustine, the Coast Guard said.
He was exhausted and taken to the Coast Guard air station, where his medical condition was evaluated. There were no reported injuries, the Coast Guard said.
“Part of his effort was to make world peace but he got caught up in the Gulf Stream,” said Coast Guard public affairs specialist Mark Barney. “The chances of muscling out of the Gulf Stream were pretty low.”
Baluchi could not be reached for comment, but a video posted on Baluchi’s Facebook page described his plans to travel in the bubble across the Caribbean, as well as his other athletic exploits.
The CNN.com story quoted Baluchi saying he’d run across the United States twice and around its border once. He said he fled Iran to escape persecution (迫害). Now he is an American citizen.
21. What happened to Baluchi when he first encountered the Coast Guard?
22. From the passage, we can know that __________.
23. Which of the following words can best describe Reza Baluchi’s personality?

Farmers use different kinds of soil conservation methods to protect their land from damage by farming and the forces of nature. One important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks.
Windbreaks are barriers formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. Farmers plant them in lines around their fields. Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for growing grains, such as wheat.
There have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of West Africa. It is found that grain harvests can be 20% higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without such protection.
However, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air movements will take place close to the ground. These movements will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away. For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only 60% to 80% of the trees and plants needed to form a solid line.
An easy role to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to ten times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreaks. There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.
Windbreaks can protect land and crops from the wind. They can also provide wood products. These include wood for fuel and longer pieces for making fences.
24. If the wind is stopped completely, what will happen?
25. If the trees in the windbreak are 20 meters high, the area being protected is ___________.
26. We can learn from the text that ____________.
27. The author develops the passage by the following means EXCEPT ____________.
正确答案
解析
“These movements”指的就是风被“隔风林”完全阻断之后形成的剧烈运动，反而会导致土壤被吹走，所以答案A正确。
考查方向
解题思路
事实细节题。根据文章第三段“If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air movements will take place close to the ground. These movements will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away.”可知，隔风林如果完全阻碍了风的运动，反而会产生相反的效果。
易错点
对于文中代词的代指内容不清楚。
正确答案
解析
倍数的表达方法之一就是：A+倍数+the + length/height/width +of +B;如果隔风林的树木高度是20米，那20的十倍就是200，所以答案选B。
考查方向
解题思路
事实细节题。根据文章倒数第二段“An easy role to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to ten times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreaks”可知，隔风林保护的最大田地面积可以是最高那棵树高度的十倍。
易错点

正确答案
解析
整篇文章都在讲合理建设隔风林对农田的好处，隔风林可以帮助农田更好的产出。故答案C正确。
考查方向
解题思路
事实细节题。根据文章第三段“It is found that grain harvests can be 20% higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without such protection.”可知，与没有建隔风林的农田相比，建有隔风林的良田产量要高出百分之二十。
易错点
D选项忽略了隔风林种的太密对良田的危害。
正确答案
解析
可以明显看出，对防风林的介绍并不是“遵循时间顺序”来写的，故选项D正确。

“There’s Always a John” By Darla Boyd
During my first year of teaching, there was a kid named John in my class. John was difficult to control and he nearly drove me crazy. While talking about him one day, an old teacher put his hand on my shoulder and said, “There will always be a John. Your job is to learn to discover what makes him different and help him succeed.” The next year, there was indeed another John. But that advice taught me that there was something to appreciate in everyone.
“An Early Key Lesson” By Elaine West
Before I began my first teaching job, my mother, a teacher of 30 years, gave me a very special gift, five simple words that have had an effect on my entire life. “Make friends with the janitor (门卫).” Her wisdom taught me the respect for all types of characters and continues to enrich my life to this day. Just five little words but what an impact they can have when you take them to heart.
“Raising Mommy” By Jan Davis
Being a mother can always present challenges and rewards. Someone tells me early that children will teach you everything you need to know. Being a mother is being raised.

Their tears remind us that it is okay to fail, and that we should wipe the tears away and try again.

Auckland is New Zealand’s largest urban area with a population of just over a million people. It is not, however, the capital, although it was at one time, until the capital moved to Wellington. Auckland is the center of commerce and industry, and is perhaps the most energetic, prosperous and multicultural city in New Zealand.
The city’s landscape is dominated by volcanic hills, the twin harbors, bays, beaches and islands. Its nickname “the city of sails” is very suitable. Auckland has more boats for each person than anywhere else in the world.
Auckland has many volcanic hills, many of which currently afford great views of the city. And Auckland’s geography is such that shiny waters seem to attract people from every point. It is a water lovers’ best place, with some of the best beaches, swimming, diving, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and water sports in the country.
Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. It is also the cultural, administrative and political center of the country. Two aspects of the city that will immediately strike any visitor are the harbor and hilly landscape. Everywhere you go, the sounds and the smell of the ocean hang in the air, and green hills and valleys wrap you in a bear-hug embrace. At night, Wellington offers a spectacular, shimmering(闪闪发光的) cityscape that is unlike almost anywhere else in the world. Even after seeing it for a hundred times, it takes your breath away.
Wellington is a scenic, windy and diverse place. It has some of the best museums, art galleries, restaurants, and coffee houses in the country. It is the storehouse for the nation’s historic, cultural and artistic treasures. Being the first place where European settlers arrived, it also boasts lots of historic streets and buildings.
Wellington is host to an excellent Festival of the Arts every two years.
28. What would be the best title for the passage?

Above all, most of us students consider it a brilliant idea to have a gap year before we finally go to our dream college. Some students will travel around our country or even the whole world to relieve the tension and pressure caused by senior academic study. Others prefer to take some jobs so that they are able to make some money and be economically independent. Still others choose to read more books about their majors they are going to study in university.

Don’t wait for opportunities. Develop yourself and your own opportunities because waiting for opportunities is like building in the air. Start small wait.
Forgiveness allows us to interact positively with other people. out for people who find it hard to forgive others because they don’t see rationally(合理地). When hurt, forgive as quickly as possible so that you can free yourself from guilt, worry and unnecessary .
Failures as well as successes have explanations. The explanation of failures is often an excuse, and the explanation of successes is principles and . Nobody cares to listen to the explanation of failures because they understand that failures, by their explanations, cannot the result they want. People are ready and to pay to hear the explanation of successes or perhaps spend their money, energy and time to read the books written by successful people. Failure in itself is not bad, but including an excuse makes it .
When you fail, in your heart to be better next time, add that effort and believe that you can make it rather than telling stories to your failure. The world is waiting for your successful tips.
