完形填空     "Today is the day I start the big diet (节食)," I told my wife as I raised my hand and    1  , "No
chocolate today!"
     "Oh, has the hospital gift shop     2     selling it?" she asked.
     "No," I said. "I"ll just have to   __3__   my strong determination."
     But when I arrived at the hospital, my little friend Benton had been there   _4_. I knew my promise
would     5     disappear. Because if Benton had things his way, I"d always be eating a piece of candy
from the      6     bag he often shared with me.
      Benton was an eightyearold boy who was    7      because of a kind of cancer, which caused him to
live in the darkness, when he was fifteen    8     old. For the next twentysix months, he was in and out of
our hospital. For nearly four years, it seemed    9    Benton could beat the disease, until one Friday
afternoon in April 2009, when he    10     a headache and lost    11     on his right side. His mom    12   
him to the hospital.
     Over the next several months, Benton came to our     13   many more times. Each time he came,
we    14     say hello, while Benton answered the    15     by holding out a candy from his bag.
     So, on that first day of my diet, I went to his room and found Benton lying in his bed, his eyes   16   
  but not looking into this world.
    "We brought his candy bag with us. Would you like to have some?" his mother asked.
    Without thinking of my diet, I     17     into the bag and pulled out the first piece my fingers touched.
It was my favorite as if Benton had saved one last piece     18      me. At home that evening, I answered
a phone about Benton"s    19  . As I    20     it up, I opened the candy and ate it.

     Early one morning the subinspector at a station at the other end of the town rang me. An elephant
 was damaging the town. Would I please come and do something about it?
     I did not know what I could do, but I got onto a horse and started out.  I took my gun, maybe too
small to kill an elephant, but I thought the noise might scare him. Various local people stopped me on
the way and told me about the elephant"s doings.
     It was not, of course, a wild elephant, but a tame one. It had been chained up but last night it had
broken its chain and escaped. Its owner had set out to run after it, but had taken the wrong direction.
He was now twelve hours" journey away, and in the morning the elephant had suddenly appeared in
the town. It had already destroyed somebody"s bamboo hut (棚屋), killed a cow and turned over
fruitstalls.
     I came round the hut and saw a man"s dead body sprawling in the mud.  He was an Indian, and he
could not have been dead many minutes. The people said that the elephant caught him with its trunk,
put its foot on his back and grounded him into the earth. This was the rainy season and he was lying on
his stomach in the soft mud, the__peacebreaker standing beside, looking innocent.
     As I lifted my gun, I hesitated a few seconds. Then I fired. That was a shot that did for him.
     You could see the pain of it knock the last strength from his legs. But in falling he seemed for a
moment to rise, his trunk reaching skyward like a tree. He trumpeted, for the first and only time. And
then down he came, with a crash that shook the ground.

1. Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE?
A. He was an Indian.
B. He knew elephants well.
C. He was not a local villager.
D. He was the owner of the elephant.
2. The elephant made so much trouble because ________.
A. its owner treated him cruelly
B. it got out of control
C. it hated the village people
D. it was a wild elephant
3. The underlined words "the peacebreaker" in Paragraph 4 refer to ________
A. the elephant              
B. the dead man
C. the author                
D. the subinspector
4. It can be inferred that the author felt ________ when he shot the elephant.
A. excited    
B. sad        
C. frightened    
D. happy

     Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict (冲突). It was
the first serious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side. In the end, they
fell apart.
     One morning, a man with a carpenter"s toolbox came for some work.  The elder brother said,
"I just have a job for you. Look at the farm across the creek (河沟). My younger brother lives
there. It was he who used his bulldozer (推土机) to dig the creek last week to spite (刁难) me.
So I want you to build me a fence, an 8foothigh fence, in order not to see his place any more."
The carpenter smiled and said, "I see. I"ll try to do a job that satisfies you." Then the elder brother
went downtown.
     At sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer"s eyes
opened wide! To his surprise, there was no fence there at all! Instead, there was a bridge stretching
from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work! He saw his younger brother coming
to him with the hands outstretching. The brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they
met in the middle, taking each other"s hands. They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on
his shoulder. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I"ve a lot of other work for you," said the elder brother.

     Several years ago, the mayor of Chicago, Illinois, visited Germany, a leader in green roof design.
Later he decided to have vegetation planted on Chicago City Hall. Today, the tops of many other
buildings also look like parks. In Canada, the Coast Plaza Hotel in Vancouver has a forest on its roof.
New York City has an unusual example farm for hydroponics. The farm is on a boat called the Science
Barge. Rainwater and river water are used to grow lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. The
farm shows the possibilities for designing rooftop systems.
     Green roofs are designed to save energy and capture rainwater. Rooftops covered with plants help
keep buildings cool. They can extend the life of a roof. And they can reduce water running off into
streets and storming water systems.
     Experts say green roofs usually do not get much above 27?. So temperatures might not be a problem
for growing. But rooftop gardeners have to be careful not to put too much weight on the roof. This is
true whether plants are grown in soil or water.
     Earlier in 2008, researchers in Texas reported that green roofs can reduce a building"s air conditioning
costs by about onefifth compared to blacktop roofs.  But they also reported that not all green roofs
perform equally well. They found that designs differ in their ability to keep buildings cool and to capture
rainwater. The researchers put experimental roofs on top of metal insulated (隔热的) boxes, to recreate
green roof conditions. The study compared products from six companies to help businesses understand
how to improve their designs. Each rooftop had sixteen different kinds of plants native to Texas. The
researchers say the presence of native plants likely helped all the green roofs capture water better
compared to sedums. Sedums are plants that need little water and often are used on green roofs. The
native plants could take in more water and release more of it to the atmosphere.
1. The author gave Paragraph 1 to ________.
A. tell us what is green roof design
B. tell us Germany is the country that leads or guides the  green roof design
C. introduce some famous hotels in the world
D. lead to the topic of the passage
2. The advantages of green roofs are mentioned in the passage  EXCEPT ________.
A. changing the local weather
B. prolonging the roof"s life
C. keeping the house cool
D. reducing the house"s air conditioning costs
3. According to the passage, which conclusion is WRONG?
A. Sometimes green roofs may break down the house.
B. Not all the green roofs can reduce the building"s air  conditioning costs equally.
C. Different designs of green roofs have different effects on     buildings.
D. Sedums are a kind of plants native to Texas.
4. The experiment is mentioned in the last paragraph ________.
A. to find out how many different plants in Texas
B. to show us how to design green roofs
C. to introduce a kind of roof made of metal
D. to provide proofs to improve the design of green roofs
