• 3．?When John Todd was a child，he loved to explore the woods around his house，observing how nature solved problems.A dirty stream，for example，often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived.When he got older，John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
  ?After studying agriculture，medicine，and fisheries in college，John went back to observing nature and asking questions.Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria（細(xì)菌）？Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals？With the right combination of animals and plants，he figured，maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did.He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
  ?The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge（污泥）.First，he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other.Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals.He placed them in the tanks and waited.Little by little，these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem.After a few weeks，John added the sludge.
  ?He was amazed at the results.The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it!Within weeks，it had all been digested，and all that was left was pure water.
  ?Over the years，John has taken on many big jobs.He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage （污水）from 1，600 homes in South Burlington.He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou，a city in southeast China.
  ?"Ecological design"is the name John gives to what he does."Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor，"he says."You put organisms in new relationships and observe what's happening.Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair."
  
  （1）What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs？

  
  A．He was fond of traveling.
  B．He enjoyed being alone.
  C．He had an inquiring mind.
  D．He longed to be a doctor.
  （2）Why did John put the sludge into the tanks？

  
  A．To feed the animals.
  B．To build an ecosystem.
  C．To protect the plants.
  D．To test the eco-machine.
  （3）What is the author's purpose in mentioning Fuzhou？

  
  A．To review John's research plans.
  B．To show an application of John's idea.
  C．To compare John's different jobs.
  D．To erase doubts about John's invention.
  （4）What is the basis for John's work？

  
  A．Nature can repair itself.
  B．Organisms need water to survive.
  C．Life on Earth is diverse.
  D．Most tiny creatures live in groups.

六、讀后續(xù)寫

• 9．?When I was in middle school，my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest.I said no without thinking.I did not love writing.My family came from Brazil，so English was only my second language.Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play，where I played all the parts.No one laughed harder than he did.
  ?So，why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail？His reply： "Because I love your stories.If you' re willing to apply yourself，I think you have a good shot at this." Encouraged by his words，I agreed to give it a try.
  ?I chose Paul Revere's horse as my subject.Paul Revere was a silversmith （銀匠） in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18，1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming.My story would come straight from the horse's mouth.Not a brilliant idea，but funny；and unlikely to be anyone else' s choice.
  ?What did the horse think，as he sped through the night？Did he get tired？Have doubts？Did he want to quit？I sympathized immediately.I got tired.I had doubts.I wanted to quit.But，like Revere's horse，I kept going.I worked hard.I checked my spelling.I asked my older sister to correct my grammar.I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library.I even read a few of them.
  ?When I handed in the essay to my teacher，he read it，laughed out loud，and said， "Great.Now，write it again." I wrote it again，and again and again.When I finally finished it，the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing.If I didn't win，I wouldn't care.
  ?注意：
  ?（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150個(gè)左右；
  ?（2）請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
  
  ?A few weeks later，when I almost forgot the contest，there came the news.__________
  ?I went to my teacher's office after the award presentation.__________
