On a summer day, John was sitting on a beach in Hawaii with his parents. The six-year-old child suddenly said he was so lucky because he had so many toys to play with at home.

His surprised parents replied that he was lucky, since a lot of kids didn’t have any toys at all. “How can that be?” John said, confused, but then he said that he would like to get toys for those children. His parents naturally thought their son was just kidding. But as soon as they returned home, John began using his pocket money to buy toys for other kids and asking his friends to do the same. His parents responded by organizing pizza suppers for other families interested in helping other children that can’t afford to buy toys. John thought that he just wanted to cheer those kids up.

John’s parents started to find a place that would allow children as young as six and seven to volunteer. They finally find a day care center for disabled children to let John and his friends visit. They went and played with these kids, playing around the room as if they belonged there.

John and his friends named their work Kids Cheering Kids. John and his friends visited kids at some childcare centers, helping out with a party they organized. They also prepared a performance for children with disabilities. Their activities have drawn public concern.

The spirit of helping is as fresh as it was that day in Hawaii. “The whole purpose,”

John says, “is to make the kids feel better.”

A．Because he wanted to make them happy.

B．Because he wanted to show off his toys.

C．Because he wanted to share his toys with them.

D．Because he wanted to make friends with them.

2.What was John’s parents’ attitude towards his plan?

3.What do we learn about Kids Cheering Kids?

Each time a city building is set up, the grass in that spot and trees that once reached up to the sky are replaced by a tar (柏油) roof. In addition to that, roads, parking lots, and yet more buildings are being constructed. The total lost green space can have a very real effect on a city’s air temperature, air quality and energy costs. On a summer day in most American cities, a tar roof can feel like the inside of an oven. But what if we could replace the hot roof of each skyscraper or building in a city with grass or a garden?

    Whether it holds vegetable gardens, wildflowers, or meadow grasses, a green roof can lower the temperature above a building by 60 degrees, which can reduce the building’s energy costs. If used more widely, green roofs could decrease a city’s total energy costs, reduce polluted air from power plant , and improve air quality and public health. But that’s not all — green roofs are a great way to deal with water management in urban areas with overwhelmed sewerage (排污) systems, and actually extend the life time of the roof itself. And green roofs do something else: They beautify the city — whether you’re on the 3rd floor or the 30th. Now that’s a great achievement.

    The environmental nonprofit group Earth Pledge is promoting a Green Roofs progamme. To learn more about how to create a green roof — and the benefits it will provide — visit its website at EarthPledge.com.

This passage is most likely to appear in “______” in a webpage.

A. City Environment       B. True Stories         C. Home and Garden   D. Family Health

The construction of more city buildings leads to ______.

A. fewer energy costs  B. increase of gardens C. poor quality of air  D. loss of parking space    

What en tar roofs are replaced with green ones, ______.

A. low temperature improves one’s health   B. everyone tends to plant vegetables in roof gardens

C. people need more sewerage systems      D. the greenness adds to the beauty of city environment

You can visit EarthPledge.com with the purpose of ______.

A. building a home garden                        B. offering money to the group

C. understanding green roofs better                 D. creating a website of Green Roofs

科目：高中英語 來源：20102011山西晉中高三第三次全真模擬試題 題型：閱讀理解

One Sunday a few of us decided to take advantage of the first sunny day we’d have for ages to take a trip down to the coast to visit the penguins again. Last time I went down there was a couple of months ago and it was a dull cold day. Sunday couldn’t have been more different — clear skies and sunshine made it feel like summer, although it was still -25°C.

Six of us drove to the coast. It was the first time we’d been off the base on our own without our field assistant, so it had a slightly different feeling — more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctic field trip! When we reached Windy Creek, we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds, which are seldom seen there.

Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main group to come and check us out. We’d been told that then they were nursing their chicks (剛孵出的幼雛) and they would be more careful and nervous than last time, but that didn’t seem to be the case. We walked across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast. We sat down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers. Without any attackers on land, they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose (擺姿勢) for photos.

Before heading back, we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks, which had grown dramatically (明顯地) since our last visit. It was such a nice day.

1.

When did the trip most probably happen?

A. On a dull Sunday.             B. On a warm Sunday.

C. On a summer Sunday.         D. On a winter Sunday.

2.

 It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the six people _____.

A. felt a little nervous        

B. felt a little excited

C. were left all by themselves on their Antarctic base

D. got bored with staying with their field assistant

3.

What does the writer mean by saying “but that didn’t seem to be the case”?

A. They were told a lie.

B. A wrong decision was made.

C. The truth was the opposite.

D. They didn’t believe what they were told.

4.

 The six people did the following during the trip EXCEPT _____.

A. feed the penguins

B. take pictures of the penguins

C. enjoy watching flying seabirds

D. watch the young penguins
