The plan had been made to create a beautiful nature park with a large man-made lake on the outer parts of the city of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. However, thanks to a terrible trick played by nature, what the officials have ended up with, is a natural sandy mess!
The government wanted to create a beautiful place where people of this busy industrial city could come to relax. But things did not quite turn out that way---shortly after digging up thousands of tons of sand, the underground water dried up. As a result, the dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert. While official reports show that the sand is piled up to 10 meters high, some people say that it is ten times more or about a 100-feet high in certain areas.
If that is not bad enough, the sand hills that now spread across an area the size of four football fields, have influenced the environment. What’s worse is that on windy days, the dry sand moves into the city center, making it almost impossible to drive and forcing people to wear face masks and protective eyewear to prevent the sand from getting into their eyes, nose, and mouth.
In an act of trying to keep the sand and provide the illusion(幻想) of green fields, the officials have even tried covering it with a green plastic netting. However, that has not done much to improve the terrible situation!
As you can imagine, many of Zhengzhou’s residents are upset by the disaster. They think that desert wasteland that looks nothing like the green landscape they were promised, has resulted in polluting their pleasant city environment. Some think it is even stopping businessmen from coming to the city.
1.The author may agree that it is_________ to build a large man-made lake.
A. possible
B. impossible
C. great
D. interesting
2.The dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert because________.
A. the weather in Zhengzhou is too dry
B. there are enough trees in Zhengzhou
C. they haven’t finished digging the lake
D. there is no underground water
3.What kind of pollution have the sand hills caused?
A. Light pollution. B. Water pollution.
C. Air pollution. D. Sound pollution.
4.What do Zhengzhou’s residents think of the man-made lake?
A. Scary. B. Small.
C. Helpful. D. Great.

Recently, professor of philosophy (哲學)in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our daily life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.
He says our relations with others often become dearly defined (清晰的）when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful relationship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.
Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.
Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?
Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I don’t know much. All I am is rich.
People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modem society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.
1.According to the first paragraph, people have not realized .
A. how important money is in their daily life
B. how one spends money shows what is important to him
C. that money is more important than their philosophy of life
D. that their understanding of life is more important than money
2.The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money .
A. is a good way to test your friendship B. will do harm to your friendship
C. will strengthen your friendship D. is a good way to break off your friendship
3.The underlined phrase “enter the picture” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “ ”.
A. is used up B. is spent on pictures
C. is paid in the right way D. is paid attention to
4.What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?
A. He doesn’t feel that he is well educated.
B. He doesn’t think he is a very important person.
C. He doesn’t consider himself to be very successful.
D. He doesn’t think that being rich deserves so much attention.

Last year, the most-read children' s books at least in UK were almost all fantasy novels. But why is this the case? What. exactly does fantasy offer to young readers？
What' s important to point out here is that fantasy writing has come to be considered as belonging to popular culture, and is therefore generally regarded as being of lower quality than realism.
This idea was formed in me during childhood by my mother, who believed that fantasy was "rubbish". She was always trying to persuade my two brothers to let go of their dog-eared copies of American author David Eddings' books and read something "proper".
I had also met some people who were against reading fantasy. While living in Finland, where I joined a book club, I was told at my first meeting that the club didn't read "genre" books, which meant that realism was in", but everything else including fantasy was " When it comes to the subject of children, discussions about which books are "better" for them often focus on the fantasy and realism debate, causing Professor John Stephens to write that: one of the more curious sides to the criticism of children's literature is the strong wish to separate fantasy and realism into competing types, and to state that children prefer one or the other, or "progress" from fantasy to realism or vice versa（反之亦然).
A quick survey of the big children's publishing trends over the past ten years confirms that fantasy is as popular as ever in the children' s book scene. From the 450 million copies of Harry Potter books sold over this period to the more recent Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, it would seem that children are as enthusiastic about fantasy as ever before and rather than "progressing" out of fantasy, the popularity of fantasy in the young adult market would suggest just the opposite.
1.What was the author's mother's attitude towards fantasy?
A. Uncaring. B. Cautious.
C. Unfavorable. D. Enthusiastic.
2.The book club the author joined in Finland ________
A. didn't have a realistic aim
B. was always full of people in and out
C. had a tense atmosphere in most cases
D. was not acceptive of various literature styles
3.According to Professor John Stephens, the critics of children's literature
A. want to separate children into different groups.
B. want to divide fantasy and realism into separate groups
C. aim to get children to progress from fantasy to realism
D. wish to explore the difference between fantasy and realism
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Fantasy books are and continue to be popular among children.
B. Realism books are the bestsellers of the present time.
C. Young readers are moving away from fantasy .
D. Fantasy books are better than realism ones.
