At seventy-three, Marcia Pollock’s father was a man of great independence and pride. The kids called him “Poppy”, a name that everybody used. Poppy lived in his old neighborhood and he had a part-time job at a local pharmacy（药房）. After Marcia’s mother died, Poppy firmly refused Marcia and Jack’s invitation to come and live with them. He was stubborn about not crowding their little house, about not becoming a burden. In fact, he was always helpful. The kids loved him because he listened to them and because he always brought them something. He also brought special gifts to Marcia and Jack, never arriving empty-handed. And so it was with shock and bewilderment（迷惑）that Marcia went to see Poppy in the hospital that summer after he had fallen down in the street. The doctor said that Poppy had been living on coffee and doughnuts. Later that day, the pharmacist told Marcia, “He has practically no money at all—just the government cheque and what little he makes here. Yet I myself saw him spend most of his last cheque on your little boy’s bicycle.” She became stern with Poppy.“You’re foolish, Poppy,” she said. “I have my pride,” Poppy answered. “False pride,” she hurled（斥责）back at him. During autumn, Poppy didn’t come around as often as he had in the past, but when he did, he would still arrive with little gifts in hand. Then, just before the holidays, Poppy told Marcia that he couldn’t visit them on Christmas Day because he would watch the store, but Marcia knew the shop was not open on Christmas. She felt worried and called Poppy, telling him that he was one of them and that they all loved him. Half an hour before the turkey went on the table on Christmas, Poppy came. The kids rushed to him and gave him more hugs and kisses than he had ever had before. Poppy held out his arms to Marcia, and his hands were empty — yet never had they been more filled. 【1】Which is Poppy’s reason for not living with his daughter? A. He had a part-time job. B. He was stubborn sometimes. C. He liked living independently. D. He didn’t want to become a burden to her . 【2】Why was Marcia puzzled after hearing the doctor’s words? A. She didn’t know who had knocked Poppy down. B. She thought Poppy had enough money for living. C. She wondered how to take care of him later. D. She thought the doctor didn’t know his living condition. 【3】Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “stern” in paragraph 5? A. patient B. angry C. respectful D. afraid. 【4】Why does the author say that Poppy’s hands were filled at last? A. Poppy learned that he was loved. B. Poppy had brought enough gifts before. C. Poppy still held his independence and pride. D. Poppy had found reasons for Marcia’s rudeness. |

Young trees don’t just grow; they develop a personality and learn more about their environment and how they should best behave in it. They also help each other out whenever there’s trouble. Personality, just as among people, varies among trees. Some are anxious, some bold. On the author’s land, there are three oak trees growing close together. One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others. Since they all experience the same temperature, the same soil and the same length of day, such variables can’t be the explanation. So what’s happening? Well, this tree is simply more careful than the others. Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients. However, the longer a tree keeps its leaves, the higher the risk of injury. Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes. A tree, for example, keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again. This leads to several other conclusions:trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere. Obviously, trees don’t have brains, but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences. But trees aren’t only clever when it comes to caring for themselves. They also support each other whenever there’s trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients. For example, one time the author found a very old tree stump. Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil. But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living. How was this possible? Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system, and had been for at least 400 years! Why do trees do such a thing？It’s simple: it’s better together. Trees need the forest; it protects them from storms, provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks. 【1】Why does the author mention the three oak trees? A.To illustrate trees can learn from experiences. B.To show trees can make independent decisions. C.To explain trees are quite supportive to each other. D.To prove trees have the same personalities as humans. 【2】According to the text, which of the following best describes general features of trees? A.Anxious and bold. B.Smart and adventurous. C.Helpful and wellbehaved. D.Adaptable and supportive. 【3】What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing” mean? A.Give warnings. B.Offer assistance. C.Depend on others. D.Provide nutrients. 【4】Where does this text most probably come from? A.A public lecture. B.A science book. C.An experiment report. D.A travel journal. |
