Every morning, she went outside after breakfast and spent most of the day in the grounds. The cold wind brought pink to her face. And she finished all of her food each evening. She was much healthier. After dinner, she liked sitting near the fire and talking to Martha. “Why does Mr. Craven hate the locked garden?” Mary asked once. “It was Mrs. Craven’s garden and she loved it. She looked after the flowers together with Mr. Craven. No gardeners were allowed in.” “But what happened?” Mary asked, “There was an old tree in the garden with a branch (树枝) like a seat, Mrs. Craven often sat there, reading and talking. One day, the branch broke and she fell down. She was badly hurt and died soon. Mr. Craven locked the garden and never talked about it.” Mary seldom felt sorry for anyone, but now she understood how sad her uncle must be. The wind roared around the house, and the doors and windows banged. Mary listened, and through the noise she thought that she heard a child crying. “Can you hear someone crying?” she asked Martha. Martha seemed pretty nervous. “No,” she answered. “It’s only the wind or the servant who works in the kitchen. She’s got a toothache. Perhaps she’s crying. I’m going to check if she needs any help. ”After the words. Martha left the room quickly. When Martha left her alone. Mary decided to explore the house, She went quietly along corridors and up and down stairs. In the silence of the house she heard again the sound of a child crying. She stopped to listen at a door, but then another door opened and Mrs. Medlock came out, “What are you doing here? ” she said, and she took Mary by the arm and pulled her away. “Get back to your room at once.” ——Adapted from The Secret Garden 26.

She was badly hurt and died soon. Mr. Craven locked the garden and never talked about it.”可知，花园被锁是因为舅妈在那里的树枝上受伤而死，舅舅悲痛不已，故锁园不再踏足。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。通读原文可知事件顺序依次为：①玛丽先问起花园被锁的原因→③玛莎解释了克雷文太太的意外→④玛丽听到哭声并询问→②玛莎离开去看厨房女佣→⑤玛丽决定独自探索房子→⑥管家夫人发现了玛丽并让她回房。故选D。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The wind roared around the house, and the doors and windows banged.”可知，划线词“roared”在文中指“风发出巨大的呼啸声”，意在强调声音大而急促。选项C中“The engine roared loudly ...”与此含义相符，“发出轰鸣”之意与原文一致。故选C。 【29题详解】 标题归纳题。文章主要围绕被锁的秘密花园展开，同时暗示还有房子里的哭声之谜，因此最能概括内容的标题是B项“The Puzzle of the Locked Garden”。 故选B。 (B) “I am not an American,” Mark Twain (1835—1910) once said. “I am the American.” He had good reason to say so. A Nobel winner in literature, US playwright Eugene O’Neill called him “the true father of American literature”. “Mark Twain is all of our grandfather,” agreed William Faulkner, another Nobel winner. Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media often praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which was first published 140 years ago, you will find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever have imagined. The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical—a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure. Most importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of the US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses Tom to make fun of its old traditions. Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical (批评的) points about the culture and the society of the US at the time. That’s why he is so beloved in the US—he wasn’t afraid to express his opinions, and he did so clearly. For instance, Twain didn’t like US wars abroad, and he wrote openly about it in a newspaper article in 1900. He also believed strongly in women’s right to vote in elections (选举) and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901. “Tom was a glittering hero once more—the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” Twain wrote in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well have been describing himself. 30. Why are two Nobel winners mentioned at the beginning? A. To show they were as successful as Mark Twain. B. To show their close relationship with Mark Twain. C. To show how American literature developed. D. To show Mark Twain’s influence. 31. What is most special about the novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer? A. It describes how a young boy grows up. B. It introduces the famous Mississippi River. C. It presents a magical idea of childhood. D. It cleverly makes fun of the US culture. 32. How does the writer show Twain was fearless to voice his opinions? A. By giving a speech. B. By showing numbers. C. By giving examples. D. By using sentences from his book. 33. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Mark Twain was very much like Tom. B. Mark Twain was a hero in American literature. C. Mark Twain should be more confident in himself. D. Mark Twain made a wonderful description of Tom. 【答案】30. D 31. D 32. C 33. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了美国作家马克·吐温及其代表作。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“A Nobel winner in literature, US playwright Eugene O’Neill called him ‘the true father of American literature’. ‘Mark Twain is all of our grandfather,’ agreed William Faulkner, another Nobel winner.”可知，文章开头提到两名诺贝尔奖获得者的言论是为了说明马克·吐温的影响。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Most importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of the US culture.”可知，马克·吐温通过汤姆·索亚的见识，睿智地嘲讽了美国的文化，这是非常重要的一点，可见这本书的特别之处。故选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“That’s why he is so beloved in the US—he wasn’t afraid to express his opinions, and he did so clearly.…For instance, Twain didn’t like US wars abroad, and he wrote openly about it in a newspaper article in 1900. He also believed strongly in women’s right to vote in elections (选举) and gave a famous speech on the subject, called ‘Votes for Women’, in 1901.”可知，作者通过举例子来说明马克·吐温毫无畏惧地表达自己的观点。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“‘Tom was a glittering hero once more—the pet of the old, the envy of the young ,’ Twain wrote in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well have been describing himself.”可知，马克·吐温笔下描写的汤姆·索亚跟他自己本人很像。故选A。 (C) Air pollution is one of the world’s invisible killers. It causes seven million deaths a year, making it the largest single environmental health risk. In cities, air pollution is particularly serious. More than 80% of people live in the areas where pollution levels are beyond WHO limits. One well-established way to reduce air pollution is to plant trees, as their leaves catch and absorb harmful particulates (微粒). But planting new trees is not always a good choice for lack of enough space. That’s why the “City Tree”, a mobile tree which removes pollutants from the air, has been becoming popular in cities around the world, including Oslo, Paris, Brussels and Hong Kong. Each City Tree is just under 4 meters tall, nearly 3 meters wide and 2.19 meters deep, acting as a chair or a bench. A screen is included for information or advertising. Berlin-based Green City Organization explains that its invention has the environmental benefit of up to 275 actual trees. But the City Tree isn’t, in fact, a tree at all—it’s a moss culture (青苔培植). “Moss cultures have a much larger leaf surface area than any other plant. That means we can catch more pollutants,” said Zheng liang Wu, co-founder of Green City Organization. The huge surfaces of moss in each tree can remove dust, NO₂ and O₃ gases from the air. It requires very little care: solar panels provide electricity, while rainwater is collected into a container and then sent into the soil. To monitor the health of the moss, the City Tree has sensors (传感器) which measure soil humidity (湿度), temperature and water quality. “We also have pollution sensors inside the trees, which help monitor the local air quality and tell us how efficient the tree is,” Wu said. Its creators say that each City Tree is able to absorb around 250 grams of particulate matter a day and contributes to removing 480 tons of CO2 a year. 34. What is the City Tree? A. It is an ordinary tree growing leavers. B. It is a mobile tree offering electricity. C. It is a mobile tree providing rainwater. D. It is a moss culture absorbing pollutants. 35. Why is the City Tree becoming popular in cities? A. It takes up less space. B. It is very easy to move. C. It requires very little care. D. It can be used for advertisement. 36. What does the City Tree depend on to work? A. Soil and rainwater. B. Solar panels and sensors. C. Temperature and humidity. D. Moss culture and management. 37. Which of the following statements is right according to the text? A. The City Tree needs a lot of care. B. Pollution sensors in the trees can help protect the environment. C. The City Tree has environmental benefits as actual trees. D. Planting new trees is a good choice to fight against air pollution in the city. 【答案】34. D 35. A 36. B 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种名为“城市树”的新型空气净化装置，它实际上是一种苔藓培植体，能高效吸收空气中的污染物，且占用空间小、维护简便，正逐渐在全球城市中流行。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But the City Tree isn’t, in fact, a tree at all—it’s a moss culture.”以及该段后文对苔藓吸附污染物原理的解释可知，“城市树”实质上是一种能吸收污染物的苔藓培植体。故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But planting new trees is not always a good choice for lack of enough space.”以及“That’s why the ‘City Tree’... has been becoming popular...”可知，“城市树”受欢迎的原因在于它不需要像真树那样占用大量空间。故选A。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It requires very little care: solar panels provide electricity, while rainwater is collected...” 和“To monitor the health of the moss, the City Tree has sensors...” 可知，“城市树”的运作依赖于太阳能电池板 (供电) 和各种传感器 (监测) 。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“...its invention has the environmental benefit of up to 275 actual trees.”可知，“城市树”具有与真实树木相当的环境效益，故C项表述正确。故选C。 (D) BookLover.com Hello, David Books search Books Topics Best Sellers Electric Books Memberships Your books Books > Topics > Education & Teaching Famous Scientists For Kids: The Lives and Work of 75 Famous Scientists as well as Fast Facts on 15 Well-known Scientific Findings in the History.

Every morning, she went outside after breakfast and spent most of the day in the grounds. The cold wind brought pink to her face. And she finished all of her food each evening. She was much healthier. After dinner, she liked sitting near the fire and talking to Martha. “Why does Mr. Craven hate the locked garden?” Mary asked once. “It was Mrs. Craven’s garden and she loved it. She looked after the flowers together with Mr. Craven. No gardeners were allowed in.” “But what happened?” Mary asked, “There was an old tree in the garden with a branch (树枝) like a seat, Mrs. Craven often sat there, reading and talking. One day, the branch broke and she fell down. She was badly hurt and died soon. Mr. Craven locked the garden and never talked about it.” Mary seldom felt sorry for anyone, but now she understood how sad her uncle must be. The wind roared around the house, and the doors and windows banged. Mary listened, and through the noise she thought that she heard a child crying. “Can you hear someone crying?” she asked Martha. Martha seemed pretty nervous. “No” she answered. “It’s only the wind or the servant who works in the kitchen. She’s got a toothache. Perhaps she’s crying. I’m going to check if she needs any help. ”After the words. Martha left the room quickly. When Martha left her alone. Mary decided to explore the house, She went quietly along corridors and up and down stairs. In the silence of the house she heard again the sound of a child crying.

A Nobel winner in literature, US playwright Eugene O’Neill called him “the true father of American literature”. “Mark Twain is all of our grandfather,” agreed William Faulkner, another Nobel winner. Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media often praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which was first published 140 years ago, you will find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever have imagined. The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical—a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure. Most importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of the US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses Tom to make fun of its old traditions. Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical (批评的) points about the culture and the society of the US at the time. That’s why he is so beloved in the US—he wasn’t afraid to express his opinions, and he did so clearly. For instance, Twain didn’t like US wars abroad, and he wrote openly about it in a newspaper article in 1900. He also believed strongly in women’s right to vote in elections (选举) and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901. “Tom was a glittering hero once more—the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” Twain wrote in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well have been describing himself. 30. Why are two Nobel winners mentioned at the beginning? A. To show they were as successful as Mark Twain. B. To show their close relationship with Mark Twain. C. To show how American literature developed. D. To show Mark Twain’s influence. 31. What is most special about the novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer? A. It describes how a young boy grows up. B. It introduces the famous Mississippi River. C. It presents a magical idea of childhood. D. It cleverly makes fun of the US culture. 32. How does the writer show Twain was fearless to voice his opinions? A. By giving a speech. B. By showing numbers. C. By giving examples. D. By using sentences from his book. 33. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Mark Twain was very much like Tom. B. Mark Twain was a hero in American literature. C. Mark Twain should be more confident in himself. D. Mark Twain made a wonderful description of Tom. (C) Air pollution is one of the world’s invisible killers. It causes seven million deaths a year, making it the largest single environmental health risk. In cities, air pollution is particularly serious. More than 80% of people live in the areas where pollution levels are beyond WHO limits. One well-established way to reduce air pollution is to plant trees, as their leaves catch and absorb harmful particulates (微粒). But planting new trees is not always a good choice for lack of enough space. That’s why the “City Tree”, a mobile tree which removes pollutants from the air, has been becoming popular in cities around the world, including Oslo, Paris, Brussels and Hong Kong. Each City Tree is just under 4 meters tall, nearly 3 meters wide and 2.19 meters deep, acting as a chair or a bench. A screen is included for information or advertising. Berlin-based Green City Organization explains that its invention has the environmental benefit of up to 275 actual trees. But the City Tree isn’t, in fact, a tree at all—it’s a moss culture (青苔培植). “Moss cultures have a much larger leaf surface area than any other plant. That means we can catch more pollutants,” said Zheng liang Wu, co-founder of Green City Organization. The huge surfaces of moss in each tree can remove dust, NO₂ and O₃ gases from the air. It requires very little care: solar panels provide electricity, while rainwater is collected into a container and then sent into the soil. To monitor the health of the moss, the City Tree has sensors (传感器) which measure soil humidity (湿度), temperature and water quality. “We also have pollution sensors inside the trees, which help monitor the local air quality and tell us how efficient the tree is,” Wu said. Its creators say that each City Tree is able to absorb around 250 grams of particulate matter a day and contributes to removing 480 tons of CO2 a year. 34. What is the City Tree? A. It is an ordinary tree growing leavers. B. It is a mobile tree offering electricity. C. It is a mobile tree providing rainwater. D. It is a moss culture absorbing pollutants. 35 Why is the City Tree becoming popular in cities? A. It takes up less space. B. It is very easy to move. C. It requires very little care. D. It can be used for advertisement. 36. What does the City Tree depend on to work? A. Soil and rainwater. B. Solar panels and sensors. C. Temperature and humidity. D. Moss culture and management. 37. Which of the following statements is right according to the text? A. The City Tree needs a lot of care. B. Pollution sensors in the trees can help protect the environment. C. The City Tree has environmental benefits as actual trees. D. Planting new trees is a good choice to fight against air pollution in the city.
