Mary went to see Colin the next morning. He looked sad and tired and his face was white. Mary knew that this was the moment to tell him everything.
“Can I trust you?” Mary asked.
“Yes—yes!” he whispered.
“Dickon is coming to see you tomorrow. And also … I … I found the door into the secret garden.”
Colin’s eyes grew bigger and bigger.
Mary went on, “Colin, we’re going to take you there!”
The next day, a strong servant (仆人) carried Colin downstairs and put him in his wheelchair. Dickon was waiting for him outside. Dickon pushed the wheelchair slowly and carefully. Mary walked next to it. They went across the lawn to the long road near the wall.
“This is where I walked up and down looking for the door,” whispered Mary. They walked a bit further then Mary whispered again: “The robin flew over the wall here. And there,” she said, pointing under a big bush in the flower bed, “is where I found the key”.
Then Dickon stopped pushing the chair.
“And look!” Mary moved the ivy branch (常春藤树枝). “Here is the door. Dickon, push him in—push him in quickly!”
When they were inside the garden, Colin looked round and round. He saw the walls and the earth and the trees with their new green leaves. In the grass under the trees there were flowers—gold and purple and white. The trees were covered in pink and white flowers. The sun was warm on his face. Mary and Dickon looked at him. He looked different. His face was pink, not white.
“Mary! Dickon! I'm going to get well!” Colin suddenly cried. “And I’m going to live forever and ever!”
Dickon pushed his wheelchair slowly round and round the garden. He often stopped to show Colin something—green buds(嫩芽), a feather, an empty eggshell.

Lots of snakes were washed onto the riverbank after the flood. Seeing these snakes getting burnt by the sun, teenaged Jadav Payeng was worried: What if this happens to people?
Payeng turned his fears into planting a 550-hectare (公顷) forest in Majuli, Assam, India—one tree at a time.“I started planting trees in 1979. The elders told me if I wanted to prevent snakes from dying, I should plant the world’s tallest grass. I didn’t know then; they meant bamboo. They gave me 50 bamboo seeds and 25 young trees, and that’s how this began.”
Payeng knew that simply planting them didn’t mean it would come up and grow. The bamboo plants needed water. “I bought 50 pots (罐子), made holes in each and used them to water the plants. I would fill them up every five days.”
Soon, he was collecting seeds from the locals and planting them. “I have to thank all the help I have got from my village. The elders are so close to nature, and have so much knowledge. When I had difficulty keeping my trees healthy, they told me that red ants can help. This is the kind of useful knowledge we need to pass on to our young.”
Every day before the sun rises, Payeng (62 years old now) sets out for his forest. The forest is home to different plants and animals, including 1,000 deer, several kinds of birds and leopards (猎豹). It’s also a cover for rhinos (犀牛) during the yearly floods and an elephant corridor (通道).
Payeng is now working on a 200-hectare green cover, a project he started in 2011, with the help of the government. “This will be done in 20 years.” he says.
53. What inspired (启发) Payeng to start planting trees?
A. The floods. B. The burnt snakes.
C. The riverbanks. D. The bamboo trees.
54. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The holes. B. The seeds. C. The pots. D. The plants.
55. In what way did the villagers help Payeng?
A. They took care of his children.
B. They helped him water the plants.
C. They collected and raised red ants.
D. They gave him seeds and young trees.
56. What’s the text mainly about?
A. A man who grew a forest. B. A village with wise elders.
C. A project which lasts 20 years. D. A forest for different animals.
【答案】53. B 54. C 55. D 56. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,文章主要讲述了Payeng在印度阿萨姆邦马久里开展绿化工程的故事。
【53题详解】

Why do people feel happier when the sun is out? That is exactly the same question I asked many years ago when I was sitting on a nice sunny beach. I remember thinking, “Oh, tomorrow I need to fly back to rainy London. The terrible weather will make me unhappy.”
In fact, I did some research into whether (是否) sunshine does make us happier. I found that people may feel a bit unhappier in winter because the sunlight is not enough in the season.
Sunlight causes your body to produce the serotonin (血清素). It can affect (影响) your mood and your sleep. When you’re in the sun your body will make more serotonin. It will make you feel better and full of energy. However, many people who work indoors may not get enough sunlight. This is why getting outside in the sunshine is a great way to improve your mood.
Your skin produces Vitamin (维生素) D from sunlight, and this is important for strong bones and being healthy. From April to September, most people in the UK make enough Vitamin D from sunshine alone. In winter, however, you won’t get enough from sunshine. That is why the UK government recommends that everyone should try taking Vitamin D in autumn and winter.
Please remember that while sunlight are good for us in many ways, it’s also important to be safe in the sun. This means wearing a hat and sunglasses, and avoiding being in direct sunlight for too long. And never look at the Sun directly—that’s very dangerous.

Hi Anna,
You’ll never guess what! You know my aunt Elizabeth likes travelling? This time she found a huge egg in an ice cave in Greenland. She brought it back to England and gave it to us.
We put the egg in a cardboard box (纸板盒) next to the radiator (暖气片). A few days later a bird came out of the egg. But it’s an unusual bird. It’s a pterodactyl (翼指龙)!!! He’s very sweet. We call him Dacty.
But there’s a problem! He gets bigger every day. Soon he is too big for the house. One day, he hurt his wing on the furniture. And he doesn’t want to go outside because it’s too cold. Pterodactyls love warm weather and jungles (丛林).
Luckily, one of my aunt’s friends works in the Botanical Gardens (植物园). There is a wonderful Palm House. It’s big and warm, just like a jungle. So we sent Dacty there. People there feed him well. I visit him every day after school and bring him nice things to eat, too.
Come and visit him when you want.
Love,
Helen

Colin’s eyes grew bigger and bigger.
Mary went on, “Colin, we’re going to take you there!”
The next day, a strong servant (仆人) carried Colin downstairs and put him in his wheelchair. Dickon was waiting for him outside. Dickon pushed the wheelchair slowly and carefully. Mary walked next to it. They went across the lawn to the long road near the wall.
“This is where I walked up and down looking for the door,” whispered Mary. They walked a bit further then Mary whispered again: “The robin flew over the wall here. And there,” she said, pointing under a big bush in the flower bed, “is where I found the key”.
Then Dickon stopped pushing the chair.
“And look!” Mary moved the ivy branch (常春藤树枝). “Here is the door. Dickon, push him in—push him in quickly!”
When they were inside the garden, Colin looked round and round. He saw the walls and the earth and the trees with their new green leaves. In the grass under the trees there were flowers—gold and purple and white. The trees were covered in pink and white flowers. The sun was warm on his face. Mary and Dickon looked at him. He looked different. His face was pink, not white.
“Mary! Dickon! I'm going to get well!” Colin suddenly cried. “And I’m going to live forever and ever!”
Dickon pushed his wheelchair slowly round and round the garden. He often stopped to show Colin something—green buds(嫩芽), a feather, an empty eggshell.
“I’m going to come back tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after,” said Colin.

Lots of snakes were washed onto the riverbank after the flood. Seeing these snakes getting burnt by the sun, teenaged Jadav Payeng was worried: What if this happens to people?
Payeng turned his fears into planting a 550-hectare (公顷) forest in Majuli, Assam, India—one tree at a time.“I started planting trees in 1979. The elders told me if I wanted to prevent snakes from dying, I should plant the world’s tallest grass. I didn’t know then; they meant bamboo. They gave me 50 bamboo seeds and 25 young trees, and that’s how this began.”
Payeng knew that simply planting them didn’t mean it would come up and grow. The bamboo plants needed water. “I bought 50 pots (罐子), made holes in each and used them to water the plants. I would fill them up every five days.”
Soon, he was collecting seeds from the locals and planting them. “I have to thank all the help I have got from my village. The elders are so close to nature, and have so much knowledge. When I had difficulty keeping my trees healthy, they told me that red ants can help. This is the kind of useful knowledge we need to pass on to our young.”
Every day before the sun rises, Payeng (62 years old now) sets out for his forest. The forest is home to different plants and animals, including 1,000 deer, several kinds of birds and leopards (猎豹). It’s also a cover for rhinos (犀牛) during the yearly floods and an elephant corridor (通道).
Payeng is now working on a 200-hectare green cover, a project he started in 2011, with the help of the government. “This will be done in 20 years.” he says.
53. What inspired (启发) Payeng to start planting trees?
A. The floods. B. The burnt snakes.
C. The riverbanks. D. The bamboo trees.
54. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The holes. B. The seeds. C. The pots. D. The plants.
55. In what way did the villagers help Payeng?
A They took care of his children.
B. They helped him water the plants.
C. They collected and raised red ants.
D. They gave him seeds and young trees.
56. What’s the text mainly about?
A. A man who grew a forest. B. A village with wise elders.
C. A project which lasts 20 years. D. A forest for different animals.
D
Why do people feel happier when the sun is out? That is exactly the same question I asked many years ago when I was sitting on a nice sunny beach. I remember thinking, “Oh, tomorrow I need to fly back to rainy London. The terrible weather will make me unhappy.”
In fact, I did some research into whether (是否) sunshine does make us happier. I found that people may feel a bit unhappier in winter because the sunlight is not enough in the season.
Sunlight causes your body to produce the serotonin (血清素). It can affect (影响) your mood and your sleep. When you’re in the sun your body will make more serotonin. It will make you feel better and full of energy. However, many people who work indoors may not get enough sunlight. This is why getting outside in the sunshine is a great way to improve your mood.
Your skin produces Vitamin (维生素) D from sunlight, and this is important for strong bones and being healthy. From April to September, most people in the UK make enough Vitamin D from sunshine alone. In winter, however, you won’t get enough from sunshine. That is why the UK government recommends that everyone should try taking Vitamin D in autumn and winter.
Please remember that while sunlight are good for us in many ways, it’s also important to be safe in the sun. This means wearing a hat and sunglasses, and avoiding being in direct sunlight for too long. And never look at the Sun directly—that’s very dangerous.
57. How did the writer start the passage?
A. By playing a game. B. By introducing others’ studies.
C. By showing a picture. D. By sharing his own experiences.
58. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Why sunlight makes us happier.
B. Why people should work outdoors.
C. How serotonin affects people’s mood.
D. How much serotonin can make us happier.
59. What does the UK government recommend?
A. Getting enough outdoor activities in winter.
B. Making your skin produce more Vitamin D.
C. Taking some Vitamin D in autumn and winter.
D Saving more sunlight from April to September.
60. Which of the following may the writer agree with?
A. Keeping away from the sun.
B. Wearing sunglasses all the time.
C. Keeping safe when enjoying sunlight.
D. Staying in the sun as long as possible.

Hi Anna,
You’ll never guess what! You know my aunt Elizabeth likes travelling? This time she found a huge egg in an ice cave in Greenland. She brought it back to England and gave it to us.
We put the egg in a cardboard box (纸板盒) next to the radiator (暖气片). A few days later a bird came out of the egg. But it’s an unusual bird. It’s a pterodactyl (翼指龙)!!! He’s very sweet. We call him Dacty.
But there’s a problem! He gets bigger every day. Soon he is too big for the house. One day, he hurt his wing on the furniture. And he doesn’t want to go outside because it’s too cold. Pterodactyls love warm weather and jungles (丛林).
Luckily, one of my aunt’s friends works in the Botanical Gardens (植物园). There is a wonderful Palm House. It’s big and warm, just like a jungle. So we sent Dacty there. People there feed him well. I visit him every day after school and bring him nice things to eat, too.
Come and visit him when you want.
Love,
Helen
