The water hyacinth (水胡蘆) grows in tropical (熱帶的) countries. It has beautiful purple-blue flowers,but everybody hates it.
Millions and millions of these plants grow in rivers and lakes. Sometimes the plants become so thick that people can walk on them. People cannot travel in boats on the water,and they cannot fish in it. The plants stop the water from moving. Then the water carries diseases. Farmers cannot use the water on their land.
Now scientists think that water hyacinths can be useful. The plants are really a free crop. No one has to take care of them. They just grow and grow and grow. What can farmers use them for?
Some fish like to eat them. Farmers can grow these fish in the lakes and rivers.
Workers can collect and cut the plants with machines. Then they can also make fertilizer to make their crops grow better. They can also make feed (飼 料) for their farm animals.
Maybe it will be possible to make methane gas (沼氣) for energy. Methane gas can be made from plants. We bum gas from petroleum (石、油) for energy. Then poor tropical countries will not have to buy so much expensive petroleum. Maybe in the future people will love the water hyacinth instead of hating it.
1. What color are the flowers of the water hyacinth?
A. Yellow.
B. Purple-blue.
C. Black and white.
D. Pink.
2. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us .

導(dǎo)讀水葫蘆以前是不被人喜歡的植物,但是現(xiàn)在科學(xué)家認(rèn)為 水葫蘆有一定的利用價(jià)值。
1. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段的purple-blue flowers可知,水葫蘆的花是藍(lán)紫色的。
2. C主旨大意題。通讀第二段可知,本段主要講了人們不喜歡水葫蘆的原因:人們不能乘船在水上自由滑行,也 不能釣魚,里面的水?dāng)y帶疾病等。
3. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段的內(nèi)容可知,魚喜歡吃水葫蘆,故農(nóng)民可以用水葫蘆來(lái)養(yǎng)魚,由此可知正確答案為A項(xiàng)。
4. D詞義猜測(cè)題。畫線詞后面提到了 fertilizer可以使莊稼長(zhǎng)得更好,由此可猜測(cè)fertilizer意為“肥料”,故選D項(xiàng),其他三項(xiàng)均不符合此處語(yǔ)境。
5. C推理判斷題。由最后一段第一、二句“Maybe it will be possible to make methane gas for energy. Methane gas can be made from plants. ”可推斷,可能將來(lái)我們可以 利用水葫蘆來(lái)制造沼氣,故選C項(xiàng)。

All the wisdom of the times,all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries,are easily and cheaply available to all of us in books,but we must know how to make use of this treasure. The unluckiest people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
I’m very interested in people and finding out about them. Some of the most amazing people I've met could only be found in a writer's imagination,then in this book,and then,again,in my imagination. I've found in books new friends and new worlds.
Reading is fun,not because the writer is telling you something,but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the writer's or even goes beyond his. Your experience,compared with his,brings you to the same or different conclusions,and your ideas develop as you understand his.
We can often find something connected with ourselves in books. Every book stands by itself,like a one-family house,but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate (分開的) ,in some ways they are connected with each other. The same ideas,or related ones,appear in different places;the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in books,but with different solutions according to different times. Books influence each other. They connect the past,the present and the future and have their own age groups,like families. Wherever you start reading,you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas,and in the end,you not only find out about the world and the people in it,you find out yourself,too.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you only read the books somebody tells you “ought” to read,you probably won’t have fun. But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means something to you,and then relax with it,you will almost certainly have a good time!
1. 判斷正誤(“T”表示正確,“F”表示錯(cuò)誤) :

2. 完成句子:
The people who don't enjoy reading good books are.
