四、 阅读理解(每题2分，共30分）
A
When I was a kid in Minnesota， watermelon was expensive。 One of my father’s friends， Bernie， was a rich businessman， who owned a large store in St. Paul。
Every summer， when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call。 Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place。 We' d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）， and got ready for a big meal。
Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon， hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us。 Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest， sweetest, most seed-free part-and throw away the rest。
Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman。 Years later， I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working， get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us， no matter how much money we have， will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon。 If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure， your work is probably hurting your life.
For many years， I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock。 I was too busy making all the money I could。
Well， I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
( ） 1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______。
A。 relaxed B。 worried C。 hungry D。 proud
( ) 2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon？
A. They ate it in a polite way。 B。 They only ate its best part。
C. They ate every part of it。 D. They shared only one piece。
（ ) 3。 In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______。
A。 was just a rich businessman B. worked hard all the time
C。 lived a rich but healthy life D. knew how to make money
（ ) 4。 The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the best part of the watermelon
B。 the writer's busy life
C. the writer’s decision of making money
D。 the writer’s hope of enjoying life
( ） 5。 It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A. one has to work hard to reach his goal
B。 a friend in need is a friend in deed
C。 watermelon is the healthiest fruit
D。 one should keep work-life balance
B
When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm， they are using electricity that comes from cows—cow manure （粪肥）, to be specific.
Cows produce a lot of wastes。 One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day。 Now imagine the output of over 1，000 cows at Blue Farm。 That’s really a big amount.
When farmers clean their barns， they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer（肥料). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes。 They use them to produce electricity。
Here’s how it works： A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor。 “The cows aren't bothered，” says Marie Audet。 “They are animals of habit； they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by。”
The machine pushes the manure into a big 600—gallon tank like a small swimming pool。 The tank is called a digester （化粪池） because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria（细菌） get to work and continue to digest the manure.
Methane gas (甲烷、沼气)in the atmosphere is known as a “greenhouse” gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up。 That's an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators (发电机)。
At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes。 The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can’t use themselves.
（ ） 6. We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow wastes to ______。
A。 make electricity B. produce fertilizer
C. build their farm D. feed the cows
（ ） 7。 How are the cow wastes collected into the digester at Blue Farm？
A. Marie Audet does the work B。 The job is done by machine
C. The cows lift the cow wastes D. Bacteria get to work on them
（ ） 8. According to the passage， which of the following is changed into electricity?
A。 The power of moving water。 B. The heat of burning coal。
C. The power of sunlight. D。 The heat of the methane gas
( ) 9。 The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best descr ibed as ______。
A。 reducing B. saving C。 recycling D。 changing
( ) 10. What is the main purpose for writing the passage？
A。 To introduce a new way of making electricity
B. To explain how a new energy works better
C。 To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farm
D. To explain the reasons for green house effect
C
When I was seven years old my mom was diagnosed（诊断) with cancer。 The doctors told us my mom might be saved with surgery（手术)。 But it could also kill her. She chose to have it。
The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you。 Come and see。” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time。 Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park， and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter。 For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy。 I would never forget her smile， or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared.
My mother managed to live through the surgery。 Now when I look back, I realize that the best day of my life could be her last and this could be the last day I would remember with her， the last one we shared。 I also understand how unselfish a mother is。
( ) 11. Who made the decision to have the surgery in the story?

五、任务型阅读（每题1分，共10分）
阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后的表格（每空一词）
In the past， man did not have to think about the protection of his environment。 There were not many people on earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited。
Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded。 We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals。 If we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left。 Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught。 We know that if too many trees are cut down， forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land。 Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees。
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die。 However, in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea， and there are few laws to stop this。
We know， too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate， in a few years, there will not be enough food。
What can we do to solve these problems？
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food。 Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control。
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems， we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.
