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. He was told everyone knew that 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 he could with what he had. Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.
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(誓言) he made to himself as a child.
【小题1】When Paul was a boy, _________.
| A．he had decided never to leave his hometown |
| B．the economy of Utah depended on the copper smelter |
| C．he had determined to stop the copper smelter polluting the area |
| D．no laws were made to protect the environment against pollution |
| 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. |
| A．That his normal work and life would be greatly affected. |
| B．That it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland. |
| C．That no one would like to join him in the efforts. |
| D．That he had to keep everything he did secret. |
| A．perseverance(持之以恒) will work wonders |

科目：高中英语 来源：20102011年江苏省高二下期末考试英语试题 题型：阅读理解
When I was a boy，I belonged to the Boy Scouts（童子军），so I used to go camping every summer，and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.
We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving，we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river，we noticed that it was surrounded（环绕）by cliffs（悬崖）。If someone wanted to reach the river at this point，he had to walk past our camp.
Several days later，the scoutmaster had to he away for a day. That afternoon，we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire，eating and talking，when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange，but，because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid，no one said anything.
We ate rather slowly，taking as long as possible. After finishing，we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river— we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once， we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.
An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep（悄悄移动）down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow， we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there，so we ran down to the bank， looking every-where carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.
When it got dark，we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling，he doubted that we had seen the man，but finally suggested we go and look again. We did，but there was no one there.
Many years have passed，but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see？I do not know.
1. The writer in the text mainly tells us _________.
A. the story of his childhood B. a strange camping experience
C. about a stranger by the river D. about a good place for camping.
2.Why did the boys eat their supper slowly？
A. They wanted to delay going to the river bank.
B. They were sailing for their scoutmaster.
C. They had a supper earlier than usual.
D. They were taking while eating.
3. The word “bewildered” in the text probably means _________.
A. ashamed B. nervous
C. unable to understand D. eager to know something
4. The writer still remembers the event because________.
A. the boys acted foolishly
B. the camping place is beautiful
C. there has been no explanation for the event
D. he particularly enjoyed his camping that summer.
