That person was my stepmother. I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father 21 me to her with these
11、words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is 22 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 23 than tomorrow morning.” My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly 24 , and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and 25 ,
12、 “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, 26 the smartest one who hasnt yet found an outlet（释放的途径） for his enthusiasm.” That statement began a(n) 27 between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my 28 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that. Sh
13、e changed many things. She 29 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my fathers career could be more 30 and my brothers and I could be better educated. When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 31 and told me
14、 that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I 32 it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her 33 and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of 34 that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which
15、became my lifes work later. I wasnt the 35 beneficiary (受益者 ). My father became the 36 man in town. My brothers and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president. What power 37 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of ones purpose and is 38 strengt
16、hened by faith, it becomes an irresistible（不可抗拒的）force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 39 . You can communicate that power to 40 who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm. 【 小题 1】 . . A rushed B sent C carried D introduced 【小题 2】 . A distinguished

21、eded up peoples lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new comput
22、er boasts (吹嘘 ) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks. All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in
23、 another time zone. Again, spending too long at computer results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about. However, what do we do with t
24、he time we have saved Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and d o nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us in
25、to another world. There was a time when some peoples lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet befo
26、re we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence. 【小题 1】 The new products become more and more time-saving because
27、. A the manufacturers boast a lot B time is limited C the prices are increasingly high D our love of speed seems never-ending 【小题 2】 What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to A Simple life in the past.

28、hors attitude towards the modern technology A Critical. B Optimistic. C Objective. D Negative. 【小题 4】 . What does the passage mainly discuss A The present and past times.

29、1】 .C 【小题 1】 .B It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries. Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frogs le
30、gs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places. This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the
31、 children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didnt last long. The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were
32、 not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately. The villagers decided that they couldnt just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂） a
33、nd medicines. Soon there was no money left. Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadnt been useless. They had been doing an important job eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading
34、diseases. Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning. 【小题 1】 . . From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers . A worked very hard for centuries B dreamed of ha
35、ving a better life C were poor but somewhat content D lived a different life from their forefathers 【小题 2】 . Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs A The frogs were easy money. B They needed money to buy medicine. C They wanted to please the visitors. D The frogs made too much noise. 【小题 3】 . . W
36、hat might be the cause of the childrens sickness A The crops didnt do well. B There were too many insects. C The visitors brought in diseases. D The pesticides were overused. 【小题 4】 . What can we infer from the last sentence of the text A Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country. B Health i
37、s more important than money. C The harmony between man and nature is important. D Good old days will never be forgotten. 答案： 【小题 1】 .C 【小题 1】 .A 【小题 1】 .B 【小题 1】 .C The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the worlds supply of water. With 97% of the worlds water too salty to
38、 be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the worlds agricultural industries experience constant wate
39、r shortages. Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution (重新分配 ) are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys are flooded
40、 to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements. This is
41、 particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation. In Texas, farmers overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for
42、farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed. Saudi Arabias attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and it
43、 is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry. 【小题 1】 . . From t he first two paragraphs we learn that _. A much of the worlds water is available for use B people in high rainfall countries feel lucky C water can be easily carried through pipes across the world D the costs of water
44、redistribution should be considered 【小题 2】 . . Which of the following is true A The underground water in Saudi Arabia might run out in 50 years. B Most industries in the world suffer from water shortages. C The water stores in Texas have been reduced by 75%. D Good management of water use resulted f
45、rom the project in the Central Valley. 【小题 3】 . The text is mainly about _. A water supply and increasing population B water redistribution and wildlife protection C water use management and agriculture D water shortages and environmental protection 【小题 4】 . . What is most likely to be discussed in
46、the paragraph that follows A Approaches to handling the pressure on water supply. B Ways to reduce the costs of building dams. C Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages. D Steps to improving water use management. 答案： 【小题 1】 .D 【小题 1】 .A 【小题 1】 .C 【小题 1】 .D Goldies Secret She turned up at the
47、 doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “Were moving house.” “No space for her any more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done She was a prese
48、nt.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen. I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a mo re creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owners. But eventually at the end of the first week she calm
