    11．A Mountain of Green Beans
    Another envelope in the mail．There's my name，Alexander Spencer，typed on the front．I throw it under the bed．The piles of envelopes are growing．
    The envelopes were applications to all the colleges I was supposed to attend．I did open the first envelope．Then I saw the application，all those blank spaces I was supposed to fill with my own writing，spaces for my name and birth date and grade average and …statement of purpose．I looked at them for a long time．I could write for hours and not fill all those spaces．So I put the application back in the envelope．I would fill it out the next day，when I had time．But another envelope arrived．And then the pile began．
    The pile scares me-it is really like a monster．All the while，I feel the weight of a million envelopes raining down on my head until my grandmother calls me and wants to know how I am．
    "I am overcome by too many tasks，"I say．
    "Honey，you just take it bit by bit，"she says，and she reminds me about the green beans．
    When I was a little kid I hated green beans．But my mom said I couldn't leave the table until I ate ten green beans．All alone at the table，I stared at the green beans for what seemed like hours．It was a mountain of green beans．I couldn't do it．
    My grandma came to me and asked if I could eat one green bean．
    "But Grandma，I have to eat ten!"
    She said all I had to do was to eat one green bean．One tiny little green bean．So I ate one．It was bad，but not as bad as I'd thought it would be．Then she asked me again if I could eat one．So I ate one green bean nine more times．
    My grandma doesn't know about the envelopes，but she tells me anyone can do one thing every day．
    Back in my room，I lay down on the bed．Just like I used to do when I was a little kid，I hang my head down to look at the pile of envelopes．There it is．But instead of a monster，I see a pile of green beans．Who's afraid of green beans？
    60．Envelopes are piling up because the authorB．
    A．doesn't know how to reply
    B．feels bored of the paper work
    C．doesn't want to attend college
    D．has been too busy to open them
    61．What does the author learn from the story of the green beans？C
    A．A good start is half done．
    B．Actions speak louder than words．
    C．A long journey begins with a single step．
    D．All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy．
    62．What do you think the author will do next？A
    A．He will fill out the applications one after another．
    B．He will go to the college that he dreams of．
    C．He will throw away all the envelopes．
    D．He will eat up the green beans．

    分析 本文主要讲述了作者面对所有学院的申请感到十分烦躁，不知道要怎么完成，将它们堆积到一起，祖母通过我小时候吃青豆的故事告诉我做事要一点点完成，因此我决定要一个个写完这些申请．作者通过这篇文章告诉我们一个很长的路程我们要从一点点开始走．

    解答 60．B   细节理解题，由第二段I looked at them for a long time．I could write for hours and not fill all those spaces．So I put the application back in the envelope．I would fill it out the next day，when I had time．But another envelope arrived．And then the pile began．可知作者对这些工作感到无聊，因此信被堆积，故选B．
    61．C   理解推断题，根据One tiny little green bean．So I ate one．It was bad，but not as bad as I'd thought it would be．Then she asked me again if I could eat one．So I ate one green bean nine more times．可知作者是一点一点讲十个青豆吃完的，所以作者学会了一个很长的旅程起始于一个简单的事，故选C．
    62．A  理解推断题，由最后一段I lay down on the bed．Just like I used to do when I was a little kid，I hang my head down to look at the pile of envelopes．There it is．But instead of a monster，I see a pile of green beans．Who's afraid of green beans？可知我将信看作是一个个小青豆，所以会一个个完成它们，故选A．

    点评 本文考察学生的故事类阅读理解，抓住题干关键词，采用寻读的方法查找细节，能根据已知结果推测导致结果的可能原因．

    16．They don't quite know how to cope with all the dam trouble they've got down in Hampden，Maine．And according to town manager Leslie Stanley，it doesn't look as if things will improve any in the immediate future．"We've got a real annoying problem on our hands，"he says．
    The annoyance began in late May．About three miles outside of town a group of beavers （河狸） built a dam near the mouth of a culvert （涵洞） that carries a stream under Canaan Road．Some 50 feet of roadway and several hundred feet of land on each side of the culvert were flooded．Stanley sent a road crew out to level the dam．The beavers rebuilt it．The crew tore it apart again．In fact，they tore i t apart for ten mornings-and for ten straight nights the beavers rebuilt it．
    On the eleventh day，the foreman tossed （扔） the problem back to the town manager．He，in turn，tossed it on to the local game warden （狩猎监督官）．The warden，absorbed in beaver knowledge，moved quietly and carefully out one night and placed a petrol-soaked bag over the dam．（Any beaver expert will tell you the creatures just can't tolerate petrol smell．）
    In the morning the bag was found artistically woven （编织） into the dam．
    The warden set out three steel traps that night．In the morning one was empty．The other two had been stolen by the beavers and used to strengthen the dam．The warden，cursing the state law against hunting beavers with firearms，got his traps back and set them out again and again．And every night the beavers stole them．
    Town manager Stanley enlisted additional troops．He telephoned his police chief．Those beavers were breaking a state law against blocking up a natural watercourse．"Why aren't you out there to uphold the law？"Stanley asked．"You're the police chief．So remove them．Arrest them．Do something．"
    Three mornings later，the police chief proudly announced the end of the dam．At 2：00 A．M．，he said，he and a licensed dynamiter （炸药使用者） had blown it to small pieces．Stanley said he'd believe it when he saw it．
    They drove out to the culvert and found a new dam already half-built．They also found the highway choked with mud and remains thrown up by the dynamite．
    Stanley said maybe they should call in the Army Corps of Engineers．But the police chief's faith in explosives was unshaken．He launched an all-out campaign，but the beavers always managed to have the holes plugged by the time the fire department appeared on the scene for its morning mop-up．
    In time，the beavers tired of this nonsense and moved their dam"inside"the culvert-where it couldn't be blown up without destroying the road too．
    Stanley and his general staff held a council of war and agreed that fresh strategy was called for．Then they came up with an inspired idea．If we remove every branch of the dam by hand，we'll force the beavers to go in search of new building material to replace what we've taken．Then we can place box traps along their runways and seized them．
    The plan was completely approved．Moreover it worked．On July 30，town manager Stanley was able to announce that the beaver group had been trapped and removed to a remote wilderness area．And there was great joy in Hampden-until the middle of October，that is，when a group of young beavers was spotted swimming in the same waters from which its elders had recently been taken away．
    But to make a long story short，the strategy that worked with the older beavers worked with the young ones too．
    66．What was the annoying problem for the authorities in Hampden，Maine？A
    A．They failed to destroy the dam repeatedly built by the beavers．
    B．They didn't know who to send to deal with the dam trouble．
    C．The beavers were building dams in every corner of the town．
    D．The political situation in the town was becoming much worse．
    67．What did the local game warden do？D
    A．He made steel traps to strengthen the dam．
    B．He set out to hunt the beavers with firearms．
    C．He learned a lot about the construction of the dam．
    D．He used petrol-soaked bags to drive the beavers away．
    68．Which is the correct order of the following events？B
    ①The land on both sides of the culvert was flooded．
    ②The local leaders worked out a strategy．
    ③The game warden set out steel traps．
    ④The beavers rebuilt their dam inside the culvert．
    ⑤The police chief used explosives to destroy the dam．
    A．①③②⑤④B．①③⑤④②C．②①④③⑤D．②①⑤③④
    69．The underline word"uphold"in Paragraph 6 probably meansD．
    A．revise         B．resist        C．violate                   D．maintain
    70．What can we learn about beavers from the passage？A
    A．The beavers seem to be stubborn about building dams．
    B．The beavers are allowed to be killed when causing trouble．
    C．The beavers can't adapt themselves to living in wilderness．
    D．The beavers finally returned to the culvert with their young．

    3．The pounding（重击声） was driving Edward crazy．A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him．The newcomer was deaf，or seemed to be，because he played his stereo（立体声音响）loud enough for the whole building to hear．
    On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over，Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud．He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building．The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed，and said，"Oh，I'm sorry．I didn't realize it was that loud．"
    So，Edward returned upstairs，feeling good，because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated．The next day all was quiet，and Edward continued to be pleased with himself．The   following day，Edward thought it must be Fourth of July，because a marching band was playing on his street．In fact，it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again．
    Edward was not one to repeat himself，feeling that each time you repeated yourself，you diminished the value of your words．So，he did what he always did with rude neighbors--grin and bear it．Eventually，they would move away．What else are you going to do？
    In Los Angeles a year ago，a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often．The drummer repeatedly ignored her．One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest．The woman was sentenced to prison for 20years．
    The dead drummer won't bother anyone with his drums，but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it．If she were still living in her apartment，she could always move．When you're in prison，you don't have that option．
    24．The man living below where Edward lived was．C
    A．a deaf man                                            
    B．the owner of the house
    C．a tenant                                               
    D．an old neighbor
    25．What did Edward always do with rude neighbors？A
    A．Grinning and bearing it．B．Persuading them to stop repeatedly．
    C．Shouting them to dead．D．Moving away from the rude neighbors．
    26．The woman killed her neighbor because．C
    A．he ignored her advice repeatedly                   
    B．she could not stand his playing the music too loud
    C．she could not put up with him any longer      
    D．he played the drums too often
    27．The author writes the last paragraph to prove that．B
    A．being in prison means the loss of freedom                   
    B．grinning and bearing it is the best policy
    C．Edward should follow the example of the woman               
    D．the woman was right to kill her neighbor．
