I knew a man, a very tall, gentle man, for several years before I found out that he visited prisoners in our local prison, week in and week out for decades. He would write letters for them, carry messages, fetch clothing or books. But mainly he just offered himself. He did not lecture to them, didn’t pick and choose between those he liked and disliked and didn’t look for any return on his kindness. All that mattered was that they were in trouble.
Why did he spend time with prisoners when he could have been playing golf or watching TV? “I go in case everyone else has given up on them,” he told me once. “I’ll never give up.”
Never giving up is a quality we honor in athletes, in soldiers, in survivors of disasters, in patients recovering from severe injuries. If you struggle bravely against strong opponents（對手）, you are likely to end up on the evening news. But in less flashy, less newsworthy forms, devotion to a task, or a person, or an occupation shows up in countless lives all around us.
It shows up in parents who will not quit loving their daughter even after she dyes her hair purple, tattoos （紋身）her belly and runs off with a rock band. It shows ill couples who choose to mend their marriages instead of ending it. It shows up in volunteers at the hospital or library, it shows up in unsung people everywhere who do their job well, not because the boss is watching or because they are paid large amounts of money but because they know their work matters.
25. Why did the man visit the prisoners every week _______.
A. That’s his jobs.
B. He wanted to teach them a lesson.
C. He was a postman.
D. He wanted to show care and offer help.
26. From the third paragraph, we can infer that when never giving up is mentioned, people are likely to relate it to ________.
A. unknown people
B. people facing challenges
C. the divorced couples
D. the hospital volunteers

B
本文通過講述一位紳士每周去探望囚犯的故事引入話題談及永不言棄的精神時，人們更可能聯想到面對挑戰的人們，比如文中所列舉的運動員、士兵、災難中的幸存者等等。但作者認為那些默默無聞，生活在我們周圍的普通人不為名利，卻對人、對事忠誠如一的品質才是最可貴的。
25.
D從第一、二段中可以得知，這位紳士每周都去探望囚犯，從不對他們進行說教，而且盡可能幫助他們，不求回報。尤其是從第二段他的回答中可知，因為別人已經放棄這些
囚犯，所以他將永遠不會放棄他們。由此得知，這位紳士所作一切完全出于關愛，為了 提供幫助。
26. B從第三段第一、二句話中所提到的運動員、士兵、災難中的幸存者以及與對手抗爭的人，可知人們經常將永不言棄的品質和這些面臨挑戰和困境的人聯系起來。
27. C從第三段But in less flashy, less newsworthy forms, devotion to a task, or a person, or an occupation shows up in countless lives all around us.這句中可以從作者的語氣中推知，那些生活在我們周圍的未被歌頌的人們所表現出的，不為名利，卻對人或事忠誠不渝的品質更令人欽佩。從第四段作者所列舉的例子中也可以看出來。

As with every other invasive（入侵的）species, introducing worms to an ecosystem（生態系統）that developed without them has an effect on everything that lives there.
This concern is very clear in the Great Lakes region. Non — native earthworms（蚯蚓）have been in North America for a couple hundred years, brought over from Europe with soils and plants. More recently, Asian species, sold as fishing bait（餌料）, have started to spread in the Great Lakes region, where there are no native earthworms.
In these earthworm-free forests, when leaves fall onto the forest floor and plants and animals die, they build up into what’s called the duff（腐殖質）layer. In this area, it was just bacteria that broke down the organic material for plants to consume and take up. Earthworms come in, they do their job and do it extremely well — they take that forest floor and turn it into the rich black soil you find in your garden.
That sounds great-but the local plants and animals in the Great Lakes region are used to living with the duff layer, not in the rich soil associated with earthworms. In addition, the rich top soil left by earthworms can wash out in a heavy rain. The differently produced soil is a problem as well. There’s a mat of fine roots in that duff layer-that’s where a lot of our native plants put their root system. When that duff is gone, it’s a lot harder for them to put their roots into the mineral（礦物質的）soil.
33. What is the author’s attitude towards the work of invasive earthworms ?
A. Supportive.
B. Worried.
C. Doubtful.
D. Respectful.
34. How does the Asian species affect the ecosystem of the Great Lakes Region?
A. By changing the soil.
B. By Killing the native species.
C. By eating the native plants.
D. By serving as fishing bait.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about ________.
A. Asian earthworms’ work is helpful to the roots of the native plants.
B. The native plants have finally adapted to the rich black soil.
C. The Asian earthworms caused great problems for the local plants.
D. The local plants find it easy to put their roots into the mineral soil.
本文講述了作為魚餌被引入到美洲五大湖區的亞洲蚯蚓由于改變了當地的土壤環境，而影響當地植物的生長，破壞了生態環境。
33. B.從開頭作者就談到把蚯蚓引到一個無蚯蚓生態區會對生活在那里的萬物產生影響。第二段開頭又提到。這種擔心在五大湖區是顯而易見的。因此作者字里行間流露出對亞洲蚯蚓帶來的生態影響的擔心。
34. A.從第三段可知，在沒有蚯蚓的森林中，落葉和動物尸體會堆積成腐殖層，它們是由細菌來分解成可供給植物來吸收的成分的。蚯蚓到來后，它們把地表的腐殖層(特點是:因為是落葉腐爛形成的，所以松軟，植物容易扎根。)變成了肥沃的黑土，即第四段中所講的the mineral soil(礦物質層)(特點是:因為被蚯蚓消化分解后的腐葉實質上已經變成了顆粒團狀糞便，比腐殖質要有粘性，堅硬)，從第四段最后兩句可知，而這使得習慣了在腐殖質土層植根的當地植物很難在礦物質土層中扎根，植物不能很好的生長了，自然會導致生態系統的破壞。
35. C.最后一段從腐殖質土壤被改變，新形成的礦物質土壤易流失，和當地植物很難在礦物質土層中扎根等三個方面論述了亞洲蚯蚓對五大湖區生態的影響。
