A beggar, carrying a shabby(破旧的) old wallet, was begging alone from house to house. As he complained about his 36 , he kept wondering that people who lived in 37 houses should always be unsatisfied, 38 rich they might be, and they should go so far as to 39 all they have.

       “Here, for example,” he said, the former master of this house succeeded in trading, and made himself very rich. By then, instead of stopping, and handing over his 40 to another, and spending the rest of his years 41 peace, he took to(从事) equipping ships. He expected to get mountains of gold; but the ships were 42 , and his treasures were lost. Now they all lie at the bottom of the sea, and he has found his 43 disappeared like those in dreams. In short, examples of this are 44.

       At this moment Fortune suddenly appeared to the beggar and said, “Listen! I have long wished to 45 you. Here are a lot of gold coins I have found. Hold out your wallet, and I will fill it with them; but only on this condition: All shall be gold that falls into the wallet, but if 46 of them falls out of the wallet to the ground, it 47 become dust. Consider this well. I have warned you I shall 48 keep my word. Your wallet is old, don’t fill it 49 its power.” The beggar was almost too overjoyed to breathe. He 50 felt the ground below his feet. A stream of coins were poured 51 it. The wallet soon became rather heavy.

       “Is that 52 ?” “Not yet,” “Isn’t it 53 ?” “Never fear.” “Consider, you are a millionaire.” “Just a little more, just 54 a handful,” But at that moment the wallet broke, the gold coins 55 dust and Fortune disappeared. The beggar had nothing but his empty wallet and remained as poor as before.

C

Planting trees around poultry farms can improve air and water quality -- and relations with neighbors. Research has shown that just three rows of trees near poultry houses can reduce the release of dust and ammonia(氨). They can also reduce the strong smell of ammonia gas.

The trees take dust, ammonia and odors in their leaves. They also provide shade from the sun, so they reduce cooling costs in summer. And they act as a windbreak, so they reduce heating costs in winter. Trees can also improve water quality around farms by removing pollutions from soil and groundwater.

Several years ago, people were objecting to the odor of poultry farms on the Delmarva Peninsula in the eastern United States. Delmarva is where the states of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia come together. Two thousand farms there can each house an average of seventy-five thousand chickens.

Traditionally the farms used windows to provide fresh air in the chicken houses. Farmers rarely planted trees or tall crops around the buildings, so there would be no barrier to the airflow. But then farms began to use new ventilation systems. Instead of windows, the new systems used tunnel fans to circulate air. The fans directed airflow from the poultry houses toward the homes of neighbors.

Researchers began dealing with the problem in two thousand. They found that over a period of six years, planting three rows of trees reduced total dust and ammonia by more than half. And they found that smells were reduced by eighteen percent.

Farmers may think trees will take too long to grow and be effective. But some trees can grow quickly. At least one-third of the Delmarva farms have planted trees, technically known as vegetative environmental buffers. The idea offers a way to cut pollution, save money and energy, and make the neighbors happy.

49. The second paragraph mainly tells us ______.

A. planting trees as much as possible

B. the advantages of trees

C. how to reduce heating costs

D. why trees are received

50. The word “odor” in paragraph 3 means ______.

A. plant          B. smell         C. height        D. water

51. The farms on the Delmarva Peninsula used to use ______ in chicken houses to provide fresh air.

A. trees          B. tunnel fans C. windows    D. poles

52. It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that ______.

A. three rows of trees are really good to the environment

B. researches began to realize the problem in 2000

C. most farmers show interest in planting trees

D. the trees growing quickly can be cut off in a few years

A man hired a taxi outside the airfield.The cab had a woolen carpet with  36 lace edges.On the glass partition that  37 the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting.Its windows were all clean.The customer was very much  38 and said to the driver,“I've never seen a nicer  39 .”“Thank you for your praise.”the driver answered  40 
“The car isn't mine,”said the driver.“It belongs to the company.I used to be a  41 of cabs.When they returned,all of them were as  42 as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish  43 here and there.On the seats and door-handles could be found something  44  like peanut sauce or, chewing gum.Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most  45 be considerate and refrain from littering.”
“So when I got a  46 to be a taxi-driver,I began  47 my idea into practice-to tidy and  48 the car. Now before a new passenger gets on my car,I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order.When my car  49 after a day's work,it always remains  50 .”
When doing a thing,one makes efforts and wants to see the result.To change others,one has to make twice the  51 but get half the result.To change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort.One had better ask oneself why one makes  52 on others much more than on oneself.  53 you take enough care to do as best you can for other people's sake,your efforts will yield results,If you  54 the inner world of your own,examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt,instead of fixing your eyes on other people,you will find a cheerful  55 for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others.

第三部分:阅读理解(满分40分,共20小题,每小题2分)
A
Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high-rise blocks of flats. It is said that an Englishman objects to this type of existence, but if this is so, he differs from most inhabitants of the world today.
In the past, blocks of flats have been associated with the lower income groups, and many of them lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts, and so on. Some even didn’t have facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish or storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor. Many lacked playgrounds for children on the top of their buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus (对抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their cases primarily on the assumption (设想) that everyone prefers an individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. They, however, ignore the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time commuting to work for the suburban resident.
61. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.  
A. unlike most people in other countries, English people dislike living in flats
B. people in most countries of the world today like living in the suburbs
C. people in Britain are eager to move into high-rise blocks of flats
D. modern flats in Britain fail to provide the necessary facilities for living
62. What can we learn about the blocks of flats built in the past from the passage? 
A. They were conveniently located.          
B. The people who lived there were not rich.
C. They were usually not large enough for big families to live in.
D. The children who lived in them could play on the top of the buildings.
63. Some people don’t like living in flats because ____. 
A. they must pay much money             
B. they prefer to live in a house with a garden
C. there is no central heating and constant hot water supply
D. the disposal of rubbish is a problem for people living in flats
64. Some people don’t like living in suburban houses because ____.
A. the houses are not large enough
B. people who live in the suburbs must pay much money for the service work
C. people who live in the suburbs have to spend a lot of money and time traveling to work every day
D. it can be difficult for them to do some shopping and to get along well with their neighbors
65. This passage is mainly about __________. 
A. living in high-rise blocks of flats                
B. living in the suburbs
C. the difference in living in a flat in Britain and living in a flat in other countries
D. the attitude of British people towards living in flats

科目:高中英语 来源:2010年山西省高二上学期学段考试英语卷 题型:阅读理解

Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was struck by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops, huge and round, yellow through the dust and smoke of the city. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking what a pity it was that most city livers---myself included---usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.

My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.

I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon.

Today our lives are connected with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We eat and breathe things our bodies were not designed to process. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters, air-conditioners, cars and computers. White noise and pollution is in the air. Radio waves and strange lights are constantly disturbing our minds and bodies.

Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I saw the moon and remembered these things. And I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains and perhaps write. I may grow old there. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.

1.What was the author’s pity in this passage?

A. Most people living in the city failed to see the beautiful moon.

B. There was too much pollution in the city.

C. There were too many modern inventions.

D. There was too much traffic on the road.

2.What attracted the author most according to the passage?

A. The mountainous jungle of India.                  B. The fullest moon.

C. The high mountains in India.                          D. All kinds of modern inventions.

3.The author longs for ________.

A. Camping outside at night                            B. Returning to the nature

C. Writing books                                                 D. Watching the moon

4.The main idea of this passage probably is “________”.

A. Disadvantage of Living in Cities

B. The Pleasure of Being out at Night

C. Touched by the Moon                   

D. Pollution Caused by Modern Technology
