Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office．He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back．The answer from that big industry was “No”.
Paul then went to college to study the science of plants．Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren’t any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds．It would be a waste of his life to try to do it．Everyone knew that, he was told．Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted．
Paul later got married and had some kids．But his dream would not die．And then one night he did what he could with what he had．As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote．Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.
And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass．For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense．Slowly rabbits appeared．Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.
Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has．It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child.
小题1:When Paul was a boy，______________.
| A．he had decided never to leave his hometown |
| B．the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelter |
| C．no laws were made to protect the environment against pollution |
| D．he had determined to stop the copper smelter polluting the area |
| A．Because he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himself. |
| B．Because he was interested in planting trees since he was young. |
| C．Because he wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help him. |
| D．Because he thought his knowledge would make his advice more persuasive. |
| A．That it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland. |
| B．That his normal work and life would be greatly affected. |
| C．That no one would like to join him in the efforts. |
| D．That he had to keep everything he did secret. |

| B．What Paul was doing moved them |
| C．Paul persuaded them to help him |
| D．they had legal pressure |
| A．action speaks louder than words |
| B．perseverance（持之以恒）will work wonders |
| C．God helps those who help themselves |
| D．many hands make light work |
答案
小题1:C
小题1:D
小题1:A
小题1:D
小题1:B
解析
小题1:C 综合判断题。 根据第一、二段可知,Paul小时住在炼铜厂附近,深受其害(动物没了,树木少了),从小就立志改变这种状况.，所以他几年后就到工厂去，询问工厂是否制定计划植树获让他植树，但工厂拒绝了。这就说明当时还没有环境保护法。D选项的时态错误。
小题1:D 推理判断题。 从第二段中Paul 没有说服工厂植树，树立环保意识可知，他认为知识会使他的建议更有说服力。
小题1:A 词义猜测题。 从短语的上下文可知Paul每天秘密第去那片荒地去植树。这么做是明知道荒地上种不了树，还这么做。
小题1:D 细节推断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.可知由于法律上的压力。
小题1:B 主旨大意题。 纵观全文可知Paul 从小就关注环境问题，决心把建工厂造成的荒地种上树木，而后上大学学习环保专业；结婚成家后，也没有放弃；终于在荒地上种上了绿树，各种动物也回来了。这足以说明Paul持之以恒，坚持不懈，实现了自己的梦想。所以答案是B项。

举一反三
During this time, my teacher took a special interest in me. Being my English teacher, she encouraged my mind to travel to creativity I had long given up. She brought me out of the shell I built.
She became my mother, my older sister, my friend and my teacher. The one thing she couldn’t do though was to make me more girly as growing up with only my dad and brother made me a real tomboy.
Sometimes, I would be really immature（不成熟的）, especially if she was scoring me less than others on purpose. She knew I could do better than what I was handing in and so pushed me to extend further than limits.
When I finished school and then after college I was about to leave my hometowns she gifted me a watch that every second, with my pulse, should remind me of the one person who will forever wait and love me without reservation.
Time has passed and our friendship is distant, but in my heart, soul and mind, she is the closest I ever got.

In February, 1947, Dior started the New Look in his first major Paris collection. He was backed by a famous textile producer, Boussac, who looked after the dollars, while Dior looked after the fashions. Dior knew nothing about cutting and sewing, but he was good at fashion design.
The New Look started an entirely different look to costume, with a tiny waist, a rounded shoulder and a shapely bust（胸围）, usually with a low-cut neckline and a long full skirt. To women who had lived through the war years, the femaleness of the New Look was a great success, for people were tired of the extremely plain, wartime restrictive fashions.
It is said that dresses by Dior were “constructed like buildings”, but young people were attracted to his design, and all over the western world, manufacturers plunged into（投入）the production of his new style. Dior’s revolutionary designs lighted up a whole cycle of fashion - rounded, gentle, feminine - a delight in elegance. A New kook House of Dior opened in 1948, followed by one in London. Considered as King of Couture （Women’s clothing） for years, the Dior Empire grew until it covered every country in the western world, and included furs, jewelry, perfumes, men’s wear and so on. Over 1,000 people worked at the Paris headquarters then.
His sudden death in 1957 when he was 52 years old did not stop the growth of the House of Dior. Even now, so many years after his death, his name is closely connected with fashion throughout the world, and indeed is one of the most recognized names in the world. His first great New Look, with its long skirts, was an expression of freedom in the late 1940s.
小题1:Which of the following designs is close to Dior’s?
小题2:According to the passage, in Dior’s life, he did not _________.
| A．make creative fashion designs |
| B．work in a diplomatic service |
| C．learn craft as his first job |
| D．open a New Look House |
| A．Dior and his supporter had different interests in business |
| B．Dior’s New Look had little influence on people then |
| C．Dior is only a brand of women’s fashion |
| D．Dior’s fashion was not accepted at first |
| A．The History of the New Look |
| B．The Growth of the Dior Empire |
| C．An Expression of Freedom - Dior |
| D．The Founder of the New Look – Dior |
But today Austen’s books are in great 22 than ever. In the last ten years, five or six novels have been 23 into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be bestsellers. So why is Austen still 24 ?
Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University argued that her novels still 25 people because they 26 the same issues today as they were when she wrote them.
Her novels are about women 27 to find a perfect husband, but also 28 issues surrounding marriages, friendships and the family. “The plots are fairly timeless about human interaction 29 are familiar to us,” Jenkyns says.
The most famous book Austen wrote is Pride and Prejudice, a 30 story between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. At first the two 31 do not get on. They 32 fall in love, but still have to 33 opposition to their relationship from their families.
All of Austen’s books are 34 to read, making them popular with children and adults,
35 they work on different levels so people can take 36 they need from them, author Kate Henry says.
“You can choose to see the politics and feminism(男女平等思想) in them, 37 you don’t want to take on those issues you can turn a blind eye to it,” she says.
38 is often hailed(赞扬) as the greatest romance writer in the English language, so it is surprising she remained 39 . “Maybe she was too much of a romantic, waiting for a 40
man,” Henry says.

So she was considering in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain(雏菊花环) would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; but when the rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit- hole under the bush.
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? “I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?” she said aloud. “I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. ‘Please, Ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?’ And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking! No, it’ll never do to ask.”
Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, when suddenly, thump! thump! Down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
小题1:What kind of books do you think will interest Alice most?
| A．Books that her sister was reading. |
| B．Books without pictures or conversations. |
| C．Books about white rabbits. |
| D．Books with pictures and conversations. |

| D．The people on the opposite side of the earth walk with their heads downward. |
a. Alice jumped into a large hole.
b. A white rabbit ran close by her.
c. Alice sat by her sister, doing nothing.
d. She fell upon some sticks and dry leaves.
| A．c-b-a-d | B．d-a-c-b | C．a-b -c-d | D．d-c-a -b |
| A．helpful and friendly | B．curious and imaginative |
| C．brave and curious | D．ignorant and pretty |
| A．Paragraphs 1 and 2 | B．Paragraphs 2 and 3 |
| C．Paragraphs 3 and 4 | D．Paragraph 4 and 5 |
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 33 Christmas there special and memorable, I 34 remembered the women’s visit．I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 35 for as many children as I could possibly reach．
So I 36 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help．We gathered about 125 orphans （孤儿） at the Christmas party．For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 37 with a child’s name．We wanted all of them to know they were 38．Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 39 them that they couldn’t open their presents 40 every child had come forward．Finally the 41 they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three．Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 42 up the room．The 43 in the room was obvious, and 44 wasn’t just about toys．It was a feeling — the feeling I knew 45 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit．I wasn’t forgotten．Somebody thought of me．I matter．
