　　“BANG!”the door caused a reverberation(回声)．It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side．

　　We were both in great anger．“Never set foot in this house again!”stormed Father．With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street．

　　The street lights were shining rather desolately(凄凉的)．I wandered aimlessly．

　　A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space：happy and harmonious．

　　But now…I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in our ways of thinking．He always imposes his opinions and codes of behavior on me．Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．

　　I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company．When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on．

　　In fact, it was nothing．Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．I can't stand his outrageous(蛮横的)words：“I can throw you away, let alone these old papers．”

　　All the lights were off except father's．

　　Dad was always like this．Maybe he didn't know how to express himself．After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret．After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers．

　　This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．

　　The light was still on．“Am I wrong?”I whispered, maybe…With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last, I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love is second to none．

(1)

　　Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts that are travelling across the continent eating everything in their path.

　　And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts, “We think this idea will get more people involved(参与) in the war on the locusts,” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegal's worst affected regions.

　　This is West Africa's biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they breed and increase their number and will soon threaten Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia.

　　Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suffering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the region are not well equipped to fight the pest.

　　Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it may be inadequate. “We are now treating 6,000 hectares per day with pesticide(杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling his disaster,” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania.

[　　]

A．West Africa's united effort in fighting a disaster

B．the difficulty in controlling locusts

C．how locusts caused great damage to West Africa

3．The locust disaster ________.

[　　]

A．would be even more serious in Asia

B．is out of control

C．affected only the warring regions

D．can not be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas

4．The word “inadequate” in the last but one paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.

[　　]

A．effective

B．impractical

C．unrealizable

D．insufficient(不充足的)

5．Which of the following is wrong?

[　　]

A．Sud-Fm offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort.

B．Senegal is to the southwest of Sudan.

C．The locusts can cause such damage mainly because it has no natural enemy in West Africa.

D．12 countries affected by the plague have united but still lack resources to contain it.
