1、阅读理解Unit 1(1)Memory Lane Isnt What It Used to BeAbout this time every year, I get very nostalgic. Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the stre

2、et below, I was one of those children, carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one block long. I have lived on the same street for sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree

3、 on one end. When I think of home, I think of my street, only I see it as it was before. Unfortunately, things change. One day, not long ago, I looked around and saw how different everything has become. Life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly growing old, friends are g

4、rowing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors.It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors arc growing old and wont be around much longer. I have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on t

5、heir porch swing almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. In contrast to those people, the people I see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days. The man in the black suit s

6、ays he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. The lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother anymore, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days. It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the

7、 end of their lives because at one time I thought they would live forever. The “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “going” as friends and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolve around home. The boundary of our world was the g

8、utter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games, or from a breathtaking ride on a bicycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive cars. The kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as the

9、y go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up and go away only makes me long for the good old days. Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my p

10、recious hill into several lots for new homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and p

11、laying tag. The view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill. When the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is a piece of my childhood. It is a visual reminder of being a kid. Without the hill, my street will be just a

12、nother pea in the pod. There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world would never change. But something happened. People grow up, and people grow old. Places change, and with the change comes the heartache of knowing I can never go back to the times I loved. In a year or so, I

13、will be gone just like many of my neighbors. I will always look back to my years as a child, but the place I remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction. It will be the happy, noisy, somewhat strange, but wonderful street I knew as a child.Statemen

The writer has been living on the same street for sixteen years since he was born.4. The writer finds it hard to acc

The writer thinks of the past all the more when he sees those who had grown up with him leave the neighborhood they grew up in. 7. None of

24、tion increases continue to be large because the population itself is so large,” points out the Population Reference Bureau (PRB). The United Nations high, medium, and low forecasts for the worlds population are based on specific assumptions about fertility and mortality (死亡率). For instance, if morta

25、lity continues to decline and current family-planning programs and other socioeconomic policies continue to lower fertility, the worlds population could stop growing after reaching about 10-11 billion people in the latter half of the next century. If fertility declines at a faster pace, world popula

26、tion could stop growing in 2040 at 8 bi1lion. But if fertility declines at a slower pace, the population will grow until 2130 to 14 billion according to PRB.Rural-to-urban migration, combined with natural increase, is leading to a disproportionate (不成比例的) growth in urban population, especially in de

31、，目前的计划生育方案和其他社会经济政策继续降低生育率，世界人口可能会停止生长后达到约10-11亿元，到下个世纪后半期的人。如果以更快的步伐生育率下降，世界人口可能会停止在2040年增长8 bi1lion。但是，如果以较慢的速度生育率下降，人口将增长到140亿至2130根据pRB的。 农村向城市迁移，增加与自然相结合，是导致不相称（不成比例的）在城市的人口增长，特别是在发展中国家，说pRB的。 1950年，只有三个城市有人口超过1000万美元。现在有11个这样的城市，而且这个数字正在增加。目前，41的世界人口生活在城市地区。2020年，这一比例预计将增长到60。发展中国家的城市人口增长速度的两倍

It is caused by a t

33、iny worm which can penetrate the skin of a human being and cause a potentially serious illness. The larvae ( 幼虫) of these worms live in certain types of snails (蜗牛). When they are ready, the larvae (幼虫) leave the snails and enter the bodies of men and animals.In many African rivers there is a large

34、animal called a hippopotamus (河马). It looks rather like an enormous sausage with short legs and a big mouth. Hippos spend much of their time in the river and they do not seem to serve any purpose. Because of this, some African governments ordered that the great animals should be shot on sight to pro

35、vide meat for local people. When hunters killed most of the hippos in some areas, the number of cases of the disease increased rapidly. There were outbreaks of the disease in areas which had not previously experienced it. At first, the health authorities could not understand the reason why the disea

36、se had spread. They made investigations and discovered some very surprising facts.When they are in the water, hippos keep the muddy water in motion because they move about frequently. When they climb up on the river bank, they go in single file, making natural channels down which rain water can flow

37、 into the river. Without the hippos, mud gathered in the rivers and caused them to run over their banks. At the same time, rain water was unable to drain into the rivers easily, and this also helped to produce floods. Certain types of water snail breed rapidly on flooded land, carrying with them the

38、 larvae which spread schistosomiasis.Now African governments are importing hippos so that Nature can do her work properly and keep the water snails under control. This is one example of what happens when Man interferes with the work of Nature.Statements6. Schistosomiasis is caused when the skin of a

39、 human being is penetrated by certain kinds of snails.7. When hippos are considered useless, some African governments ordered that the great animals be sent to zoos.8.

43、oast off Florida, from Jacksonville to Miami and Negro workers were employed because they were cheap. A great many of them were in Daytona. Most of them had children. They were living in shacks worse than those in the Terry in Augusta. The children were running wild in the streets. Mary Bethune seem

44、ed to hear a voice say, “What is the place? Build your school there.” Her husband, Albertus, wasnt so sure about her school. He thought Palatka was a pretty good place for them to live. Mary listened but she never gave up her idea. She knew that if she went to Daytona, Albertus would come too. One d

45、ay she begged a ride for herself and her little boy with a family that was going to Daytona. It was only seventy miles away. But in 1904 the sand was deep on Florida roads. Practically no one had an automobile certainly not the poor family that gave Mary and little Albert a ride. So it was three dus

46、ty days after they left Palatka before they reached Daytona. There Mary hunted up the only person she knew, and she and little Albert stayed with this friend for a few days. As she had done in The Terry in Augusta, Mary walked up and down the poor streets of Daytona. She was looking for two things a

47、 building for the school she was determined to start and some pupils for that school. After a day or two, she found an empty shack on Oak Street. She thought this would do. The owner said she could rent it for $11.00 a month. But it wasnt worth that much. The paint had peeled off, the front steps wo

48、bbled (摇晃) so that she had to hang onto the shaky railing to keep from falling, the house was dirty, it had a leaky roof. In most of the windows the panes of glass were broken or cracked. Eleven dollars a month! Mary said she only had $1.50. She promised to pay the rent as soon as she could earn the

49、 money. The owner trusted her. By the time she was sure she could have the building, she had five little girls from the neighborhood as her pupils. What a school! A rickety old house and five little girls! The little girls pitched in and cleaned the house. The neighbors helped with scrubbing brushes

50、, brooms, hammers, nails, and saws. Soon the cottage could be lived in, but there were no chairs, no tables, no beds. There was no stove. However, there were no pots and pans to cook in, even if there had been a stove. Mary set about changing these things. She found things in trash piles and the cit

51、y dump. Nobody but Mary would have thought of making tables and chairs and desks from the old crates she picked up and brought home. Behind the hotels on the beach she found cracked dishes, old lamps, even some old clothes. She took them home too. Everything was scoured and mended and used. “Keep th

52、ings clean and neat” was her motto then; and as long as she lived the pupils in her school had to live up to that motto. Her little pupils had no pencils. They wrote with pieces of charcoal made from burned logs. Their ink was elderberry juice. What good was ink or a pencil if there was no paper to

53、write on? Mary took care of that too. Every time she went to the store to get a little food, or a few pots and pans, she had each article wrapped separately. The pieces of wrapping paper were carefully removed and smoothed out. The little girls used this paper to write their lessons with their charc
