         Booker T. Washington was born in a black slave family in Virginia of the USA in 1856, seven years
    before slavery was abolished (废除) by Abraham Lincoln in January, 1863.
         He wrote a book about his life called Up From Slavery, which was published in 1901. In the book,
    he said that he had no choice but to work in a coal mine when he was 16 years old. He had no chance to
    go to school. He heard two coal miners talking about a school for black children which was called the
    Hampton Institute.
         He determined that he would go there. He gave up his job and told other members of his race that he
    was going to school across the state. The older people had spent their best years as slaves and were poor. However, some gave Booker some pocket money or a handkerchief. Hardly had anyone expected any
    of their race to leave home to attend a boarding school. He took a train to Richmond, Virginia, where he
    ran out of money. It was 82 miles from the Hampton Institute. He slept under a wooden sidewalk(人行道).            
         He helped unload pigs and iron from a ship for some money and when he had enough, he continued
    his journey, arriving at school with 50 cents.
         This diligence(勤奋) pushed him to graduate and become a teacher at the Hampton Institute. When
    he was 25 years old, he was asked to start a new school for black children in Alabama. called the
    Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Thirty-four years later, this school had 1,500 students and 200
    teachers and Booker T. Washington became the most influential black leader of his generation.
    1. What's the purpose of the passage?

    B. To introduce Booker T. Washington's working experience as a slave.
    C. To present a brief introduction of Booker T. Washington.

    B. blacks were not allowed to receive education.
    C. he had to work as a coal miner.
    D. he was not smart enough to receive education.

    　　Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers' edsire to go green．However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns．

    　　Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy．

    　　This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves．And the companies should still make efforts to become more envitonmentally friendly．Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company's environmental reputation was not good enough．

    　　Harry Morrison, chief executive(主管)of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important now．But from environmental considerations, the clocd is ticking－we don't have much time．In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a mediun-term benefit for the brand．”

    　　Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses bo buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions(排放)．Those that have taken early action will have a head start．More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible．This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers．

    　　The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing．“When companies are granted(授予)the standard, they can use a logo(标识)in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,”Mr．Morrison said．

    　　To prevent the deserts coming near, China has planted billions of trees---to replace destroyed forests and as barriers against the sand．This isn’t a cure, though, say experts, as thirsty trees can make the problem worse by taking in groundwater．

    　　“Planting tress is one way, but it isn’t that simple．It doesn’t solve the basic issue of water resources,” says Wu Bo, a professor．“We need to calculate how much water the trees will absorb, or else it could have a negative effect．”

    　　Villagers in Zhengxin have taken on this challenge, with limited success．When the irrigation channels began to run dry, Lu Xianglin switched from wheat to cotton on his land．He also planted trees to protect his fields from sandstorms．He says he still gets good yields using flood irrigation and earns a good income for his family．

    　　Other farmers haven’t stuck it out：About one in three have left Zhengxin in the past 10 years after their wheat crops died．Young people who can find jobs in the towns rarely return．

    　　Last week, Mr Lu joined the other men in his village on a government-arranged trip to see the land that has been set aside for their relocation, nearly 40 miles to the south．The next day, he was back, shaking his head at the plan．The idea of uprooting his family troubles him, as does the idea of giving up the land that fed his forefathers．He prefers to stay and keep up the fight．

    　　“With enough water, this problem can be solved,” Lu says．“We can plant trees and grass, and they will grow bigger．That will stop the desert．”

    　　Experts say that farmers could switch to drip irrigation to lessen their water intake for growing crops．Elsewhere in the region, farmers have built brick greenhouses as part of a plan to grow vegetables using less water．Roadside signs urge farmers to “Save Water, Protect the Environment”．

    (1)

    The negative effect of planting trees in deserts is that _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    it can make groundwater become less

    B．

    it can prevent the sand moving freely

    C．

    it can stop crops growing well

    D．

    it can get the soil to become poor

    (2)

    Why did Mr Lu NOT accept the idea of relocation?

    [　　]

    A．

    Because the plan of relocation will cost him much money．

    B．

    Because his family had trouble moving away．

    C．

    Because he was reluctant to give up his land．

    D．

    Because he would rather stay than fight against the deserts．

    (3)

    What can we infer from the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    The deserts drive more and more people to leave their homes for their lives．

    B．

    People have no means to fight against the land becoming desert

    C．

    Water is the biggest barrier for people to stop the desert．

    D．

    Planting trees cannot solve the problem of desertification of farmland

    (4)

    What advice is given by experts to save water?

    [　　]

    A．

    To plant more trees

    B．

    To build greenhouses

    C．

    To change crops

    D．

    To use drip irrigation．
