中 考 英 语 阅 读 理 解 专 项 There was once a man called Mr.Flowers,and flowers were his only joy in life.He spent all his freetime in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color,with long and difficult names,forcompetitions（匕 匕 赛）.He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup（4艮 杯）fbr the Rose of theYear.Mr.Flowers9 glass-houses were very near to a middle school.Boys of around thirteen of age were oftentempted（弓 I 诱）to throw a stone or two at one of Mr.Flowers9 glass-houses.So Mr.Flowers did his best tobe in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times.Mr.Flowers had tried in many ways toprotect his glass,but nothing that he had done had been useful.He had been to school to report to theheadmaster;but this had not done any good.He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into hisgarden;but the boys could run faster than he could,and they laughed at him from far away.He had evenpicked up all the stones that he could find around his garden,so that the boys would have nothing to throw;but they soon found others.At last Mr.Flowers had a good idea.He put up a large notice（布 告）made of good,strong wood,somemeters away from the glass-houses.On it he had written the words:DO NOT THROW STONES AT THISNOTICE.After this,Mr.Flowers had no further trouble;the boys were much more tempted to throw stonesat the notice than at the glass-houses.1.It was Mr.Flowers9 hope t o.A.build glass-houses in his free time B.grow the Rose of the Year in a silver cupC.win a

get clean water.Everymorning,she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away.It takes hersix hours to get enough clean water for daily（日 常）cooking and drinking.She has no time to go to school orto play with her friends.Millions of people in the world are like Napoga.They cant get enough clean waterto keep healthy.Earth Day is April 22.But on all other days,we must also remember it.The water we use is the mostimportant natural resource（自 然 资 源）on the earth.Water covers 70%of the earths surface（表 面）.But most of that is sea water.We cant use it fbr verymany things.Fresh water covers only 1%of the earths surface.You probably feel lucky that your life isnt as hard as Napogas.But that doesnt mean you dont have toworry about water.We all face serious water problems.One of them is water pollution.All kinds of thingsfrom cars,factories,farms and homes make our rivers,lakes,and oceans dirty.Polluted water is very bad forpeople to drink.And dirty water is bad for fish,too.Now,34%of all kinds of fish are dying out.How do cars and factories make our water dirty?First,they pollute the air.Then,when it rains,the rainwater comes down and makes our drinking water dirty.Dirty rain,called acid rain（酸 雨），is also bad forplants,animals and buildings.Scientists say that in 30 years,more than half of the people in the world wont have enough clean water.We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children.Here is some advice fbr savingwater:Turn off the water while you brush your teeth.You can save as much as 450 liters（升）each month.Leaky taps（漏 水 的 龙 头）waste a lot of water.Fix them right away!You can easily cut your 1 O-minute showers（沐 浴）in half-and youll be just as clean.When you wash dishes,dont let the water run.Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash.If your washing machine isnt full,youre wastingwater!根 据 以 上 短 文 内 容，然 后 从 每 题 所 给 的 四 个 选 项 中 选 择 最 佳 选 项。L Every morning Napoga went to get

forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom.They say they can afford these things.But I dont agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems.Although China is rich in some resources（资 源），we are short of（缺 乏）others,for example,fresh water（淡 水）.It is reported that we will have no coal（煤）or oil to use in 100years.So if we go on wasting our resources,what can we use in the future and where can we move?Thinkabout it.I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day.Everybody should stopwasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life,we can do many things to prevent waste from happening,for example,turn off thewater taps（水 龙 头）when we finish washing,turn off the lights when we leave the classroom,try not toorder more food than we need,and so on.Little by little,everything will be changed.Waste can be stoppedone day,if we do our best.根 据 以 上 短 文 内 容，然 后 从 每 题 所 给 的 四 个 选 项 中 选 择 最 佳 选 项。X.From the passage we know that some students
