Many people who work in London prefer to...

 

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper.Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent.With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.

Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town.Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country.If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden.Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.

Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants.Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London.An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true? 

    A.People who like country things prefer to live outside the city.

    B.People who work in London prefer to live in the country.

    C.Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London.

    D.Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London.

2.One can use the same money for ________ to buy a little house with a garden in the country.

    A.getting a small flat with a garden                                          

    B.having a small flat with a garden

    C.renting a small flat without a garden       

    D.buying a small flat without a garden

3.When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those _______ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.

    A.who live in the country                                                                                      

    B.who have spent time working in the garden

    C.who have a garden of their own                                                                   

    D.who have been digging, planting and watering

4.People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live it outside London.

    A.their life was meaningless                    B.their life was invaluable

    C.they didn’t deserve a happy life             D.they were not worthy of their happy life

5.The underlined word “rest” in the last paragraph refers to ________.

A.the rest time                                                                                                              B.the rest people

C.the rest of the country                                                                                         D.the rest of the parks and of the sea

 

1.B。推断题。根据文章内容:虽然有很多喜欢乡村生活,但文章最后讲也有些人喜欢城市生活,从而可推知此题答案为B。 2.C。细节题。根据文章第2段第二、三句可推知此题答案为C。 3.B。推断题。根据文章第3段最后两句可知:要是他喜欢花园,在花园里挖土、种植、浇水等等,那么当鲜花和蔬菜生长起来的时候,他就得到了与大自然分享秘密的奖赏,所以选B。 4.A。推断题。根据文章最后一段第2句Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London可推知此题答案为A。 5.C。推断题。根据其上文:这些人偶尔去公园散散步后去海边度两周假;本句接着说:其余的就留给那些每天晚上喜欢离开伦敦的人,那么,“其余的”显然指“其余的乡村”。从而可推知题答案为C。

   If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonner and say, “Hey, Butterfly Man,” his face would break into a smile.The title suits him.And he loves it.

Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out.Today the butterfly is coming back — thanks to him.But years ago if you’d told him this was what he’d be doing someday, he would have laughed, “You’re crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “a little tough guy on the streets”.At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing.At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.

“I knew it had hurt my mom,” Bonner said after he got out of prison.“So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.”

One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.

“I saw the sign ‘Butterfly Habitat’ and asked, ‘How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?’” Bonner recalls.“Dr.Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大镜), ‘Look at the leaves.’ I could see all these caterpillars(蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant.Dr Mattoni explained, ‘Without the plant, there are no butterflies.’”

Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr.Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly which needed help.That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue.Since then he’s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back.He grows astragals, the only plant the butterfly eats.He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs.Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.

The butterfly’s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900.For their work, Bonner and Dr.Mattoni received lots of awards.But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.

For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison.While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.

3.From the last sentence of the text, we learn that raising butterflies has ________.

  A.made Bonner famous                 B.changed Bonner’s life

  C.brought Bonner wealth               D.enriched Bonner’s knowledge
