第三部分阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter(炼铜厂), and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on, something happened inside him.

Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No.”

Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren’t any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It would be a waste of his life to try to do it. Everyone knew that, he was told. Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted.

Paul later got married and had some kids. But, his dream would not die. And then one night he did what be could with what he had. As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote. Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied, in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting. .www..com

And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.

Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child.

56. When Paul was a boy, ________.

A. he had decided never to leave his hometown

B. the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelter

C. no laws were made to protect the environment against pollution

D. he had determined to stop the copper smelter polluting the area

57. Why did Paul go to college to study the science of plants?

A. He wanted to find out the best way to save the area himself.

B. He was interested in planting trees since he was young.

C. He wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help him.

D. He thought his knowledge would make his advice more persuasive.

58. What does the underlined phrase “the plain common sense” probably refer to?

A. That it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.

B. That his normal work and life would be greatly affected.

C. That no one would like to join him in the efforts.

D. That he had to keep everything he did secret.

59. The message of the passage is that ________.

A. action speaks louder than words

B. perseverance(持之以恒) will work wonders

C. God helps those who help themselves

D. many hands make light work

第三部分阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

John Davis doesn’t use his GPS system in his car. Instead of guiding the direction, the Delaware farmer uses it to determine where and how much fertilizer to use on the crops on his 4,000-acre family-owned farm. Technological advances like that last year helped Davis and other Ohio farmers set a record for corn product. Ohio's corn crop in 2009 totaled 546 million bushels(蒲式耳), despite a cooler and wetter than normal spring, a dry summer and a delayed, wet harvest. Davis said. “I knew it would be a good crop, but it was much better than we expected.”

A farmer can map his fields on GPS, spotting where soil turned out to be least fertile（肥沃的） and using more fertilizer the next year in those areas where corn didn’t grow as well.

Although Ohio farmers produced more corn, it was grown on less land than in past years. Total area used for corn in Ohio was 3.35 million acres, about the same as in 2008 but down from 3.85 million acres in 2007, said Dwayne Siekman, director of the Ohio Corn Growers Association. “When you look at the total number of acres in Ohio used for corn, it’s clear that farmers are able to do more with less,” he said. “American farmers can grow five times more corn on 20 percent less land than they did in the 1930s, saying that modern farming techniques are necessary for a growing demand in the world today.” That technology includes using improved seeds that can withstand(忍受) greater temperature extremes and pests, Siekman said.

Farmers aren't the only ones who benefit. Consumers(消费者) do, too, as food costs reduce in the face of “enough supplies of corn,” said Fred Yoder, who runs a 1,500-acre corn, soybean and wheat farm in Plain City. “This is the best, highest-producing corn crop that I've raised in 30 years,” he said.

56. Most people usually use the GPS system for ______.

A. driving their cars B. telling the position C. mending the car D. supplying the sunshine

57. The farmers in Ohio use GPS to ______.

A. check if the soil is fertile in some areas B. control the rain of the place

C. water the crops if the weather is dry D. draw the map of all the crops

58. Why did Ohio farmers produce more corn?

A. Because they expanded more land to grow corn

B. Because they turned to technological advances

C. Because they used more and more fertilizer.

D. Because they supplies themselves with more money.

59. From the passage, we can know _____.

A. John Davis hadn’t expected a good harvest.
