18、ight, thinking myself a very independent gown-up, I left my uncles place in South Laguna after a visit, without admitting to him that I had less than an eighth of a tank of gas and no cash to buy more on the way to L.A. I pulled onto the Pacific Coast Highway and watched the needle move down as I he
19、aded north. When the engine started giving off strong smells, I pulled into a gas station. There was no self-serve then; there were no credit cards, no ATMs.I begged the guy at the station. I could write him a check for gas, I said, or I could sleep in my car and try to walk to a town with a bank th
20、e next morning. As he was informing me that I could sleep in my car but hed have me arrested, a station wagon pulled up to the next pump. The drivera thin, plain, middle-aged guyoverheard the tail end of my failed request. As the attendant went to serve him, he nodded at me. “Fill her tank first,” h
21、e said.“Really?” I said. Hope bloomed. “Oh, thank you. Thank you. But please. I just need two bucks worth. I just need to get home.”“Fill it,” he repeated to the attendant.

A stranger helped him CCockroaches(蟑螂) are the most unpleasant of all insects. Seemingly large and fast, and they live in the most disgusting conditions. Its no wond
24、er the first reaction of many to seeing a cockroach is to try to destroy it, and few would drop a tear at the thought of the entire species dying out. But, of course, things are not so simple. Unpleasant though they are, according to biologists the ill-famed cockroach is essential to the survival of
25、 the planets delicate ecosystem.According to Srini Kambhampati, professor and chairman of the biology department at the University of Texas, the disappearance of cockroaches would play havoc with the nitrogen cycle. As a leading expert on roaches, he said: “Most cockroaches feed on rotten organic ma
26、tter, which traps a lot of nitrogen. Cockroach feeding has the effect of releasing that nitrogen (in their waste)which then gets into the soil and is used by plants. In other words, extinction of cockroaches would have a big impact on forest health and therefore indirectly on all the species that li
27、ve there.” The professor also warned that the Earths 5,000 to 10,000 cockroach species are also an important source of food for many birds and small mammals like mice and rats. In turn, these killers themselves are food of many other species like cats, wolves and snakes, as well as eagles and other
28、big birds. Any cut to the number of cockroaches would thus have a harmful effect on the wellbeing of all these species that could have a destroying effect on wildlife across that world. Of course, theres not much chance of a cockroach extinction level event happening any time soon. Still, although i
29、t was once believed that they would be one of the few creatures to survive even a nuclear Third World War, that idea has since been considered untrue. 29. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The hated cockroach is essential to the survival of the planets delicate ecosystem. B. The cockroach is
30、 a harmful species which is expected to die out in the near future. C. Nobody will feel sad at the fact that the entire species of cockroach is dying out. D.

31、learn that _. A. cockroaches eat rotten organic matter to get nitrogen B. nitrogen can make the soil suitable for plants to grow C. cockroaches dying out directly destroy all the species D. plants benefit from cockroaches getting into the soil 31. Which of the following belong to “these killers” in
32、Paragraph 7? A. Cockroaches. B. Mice and rats. C. Cats and wolves. D. Snakes and eagles. 32. We can infer from the last paragraphs that _. A. cockroaches can survive a nuclear war B. cockroaches might cause a world war C. cockroaches will never be extinct at all D. cockroaches also need to be protected DFootballer Cristiano Ronald
