2.My father loves his garden.He planted some seeds in it.But at that time,I didn't understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
Unfortunately,in early May,my father was seriously injured in an accident.He had to stay in bed for a while.My mother had several business trips,so she couldn't take care of the garden.I didn't want my father to worry,so I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered.I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water,and luckily it rained fairly often,so I didn't think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning,my father said to me, "Christine,the vegetables should be about ready to be picked.Let's have a salad today!" I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs.There were hundreds of bugs all over them!
I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest store to buy some vegetables.
When I gave the salad to him,he said, "Oh,Christine,what a beautiful salad!I can't believe the carrots are this big already.You must be taking very good care of my garden." I felt a bit guilty.
Coming home,my mother saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen.I was embarrassed and I admitted, "Dad wanted a salad,but the garden was a disaster.I didn't want to disappoint him,so I went to the store." She laughed but promised to help me in the garden and weeks later I was finally able to pick some.
I carefully made a salad and took it to my fatjye.air.He looked at it with a hint of a smile. "Christine,the carrots are smaller in this salad,but they taste better."
Now,I better understand how putting a lot of effort into caring for something can help you appreciate the results more,however small they may be.Perhaps this was one of the reasons for my father's love of gardening.
(1)Why did Christine originally promise she would do the gardening?
A.She was asked by her father to do it.
B.She was interested in growing vegetables.
C.She knew it was important to her father.
D.She wanted to improve her gardening skills.
(2)Which of the following was a problem in the garden?
A.Insects destroyed the lettuce and carrots.
B.Animals often dug holes in the garden.
C.The plants were given too much water.
D.The vegetables were lacking in water.
(3)Why could Christine secretly make the salad by using store-bought vegetables?
A.Her mother helped her to buy the vegetables.
B.Her mother regularly helped her to make a spray.
C.Her father couldn't see the garden's progress.
D.Her father went on a business trip at that time.
(4)What did Christine learn through her experience of gardening?
A.Always get ready for a rainy day.
B.Don't be disappointed by bugs.
C.Working alone produces results.
D.Hard work can pay off.組卷:2引用:1難度:0.7 -
3.California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s,according to a study to be published on Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor.
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests,the new study finds.No area was spared or unaffected,from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles.In the Sierra high country,the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent;in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline,said Patrick McIntyre,an ecologist who was the lead author of the study.Woodcutters targeted big trees.Housing development pushed into the woods.Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources.
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010,McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage.The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed,taking into account such things as rainfall,air temperature,dampness of soil,and the timing of snowmelt (融雪).
Since the 1930s,McIntyre said,the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures,which cause trees to lose more water to the air,and earlier snowmelt,which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
(1)What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B.The increasing variety of California big trees.
C.The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D.The influence of farming on big trees in California.
(2)Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A.Ecological studies of forests.
B.Banning woodcutting.
C.Limiting housing development.
D.Fire control measures.
(3)What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?
A.Inadequate snowmelt.
B.A longer dry season.
C.A warmer climate.
D.Dampness of the air.
(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.California's Forests:Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B.Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C.Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D.Patrick McIntyre:Grow More Big Trees in California組卷:0引用:1難度:0.5
