　　I shall never forget the night, a few years ago, when Marion J. Douglas was a student in one of my adult­education classes. He told us how tragedy had struck at his home, not once, but twice. The first time he had lost his five­year­old daughter. He and his wife thought they couldn't bear that first loss; but, as he said, “Ten months later, God gave us another little girl and she died in five days. ”

　　This double bereavement was almost too much to bear. “I couldn't take it，” this father told us. “I couldn't sleep, eat, rest or relax. My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone. ” At last he went to doctors; one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip, but neither helped. He said，“ My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大钳子), and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter. ” The tension of grief (悲伤)—if you have ever been paralyzed (使瘫痪) by sorrow, you know what he meant. “But thank God, I had one child left—a four­year­old son. He gave me the solution to my problem. One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself, he asked，‘Daddy, will you build a boat for me? I was in no mood to build a boat; in fact, I was in no mood to do anything. But my son is a persistent little fellow! I had to give in. Building that toy boat took me about three hours. By the time it was finished, I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months! I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking. In my case, building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring.So I determined to keep busy. ”

　　“The following night, I made a list of jobs that ought to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired. Amazingly, I had made a list of 200 items that needed attention. During the last two years I have completed most of them. I am busy now that I have no time for worry. ”

　　No time for worry! That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war. When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities, he said, “I am too busy. I have no time for worry. ”

　　16. The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to ________.

　　A. having lost a loved one

　　B. having lost a valuable article

　　C. having lost a profit­making business

　　D. having lost a well­paid job 答案与解析：A　猜词题。通过第一段的描述，可知这是丧亲之痛。

　　17. Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because ________.

　　A. he couldn't earn enough money to support his family

　　B. he was suffering from sleeplessness disease

　　C. he couldn't get out of mental pressure

　　D. he felt tired of adult­education classes 答案与解析：C　推理判断题。根据前两段的内容可推断得知，这是因为他还无法走出丧亲的打击。 18. Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repaired because ________.

　　A. he hadn't been able to spare time to mend them

　　B. he wanted to kill his free time by repairing them

　　C. the items had actually been broken and needed attention

　　D. repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind 答案与解析：D　细节理解题。在倒数第二段中，说通过准备这200个条目，能使他暂时忘却痛苦，充实它的意识。 19. At the end of the passage, the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to ________.

　　A. prove that he followed Churchill's example

　　B. support his student's solution to his problem

　　C. show that he was successful in his career

　　D. clarify how his conclusion was reached 答案与解析：B　推理判断题。题意是问作者的写作意图，通读全篇文章可知这是论据，来支持他学生解决问题的方法。 B

　　We all know that when leaves fall to the ground they die and become food for worms. When worms pass the leaves, their waste can help to make the soil rich, from which the plants use to get their nutrition. The plants grow and provide food for animals. When the animals eat the plants, their waste goes back into the soil. It's a perfect cycle.

　　But at the Elephant Conservation Centre in Lampang, Northern Thailand, they are using elephant waste for something more—to make 100% natural, beautiful colorful paper products! 100 years ago over 100,000 elephants in Thailand worked on farms, building sites and even in the army. However, only 6,000 remain there today because of advances in technology that have made elephants' old work less necessary. Elephants are doing new jobs now, including entertaining tourists by painting and playing football, and now by helping in the paper making industry. And their keepers, called Mahouts, can earn a living for their families and help their elephants by using elephant waste, also called “dung” to make beautiful，natural, paper products without any bad smell.

　　Every day an adult elephant eats about 200kg of plants like bamboo, grass and watermelon seeds. His body system breaks the plants into 50kg of fibers, which can produce 115 sheets of fibrous paper.

　　The first step to make this special natural paper is to collect the fiber rich “dung” from the elephant. The next step is to wash it and boil it for five hours to kill bacteria. (The water they use in this process is reused to water plants at the Centre, which, in turn, feed the elephants). After it's boiled, they cut fibers up. During the cutting process, they add in the desired color of the paper. For the fourth step, they take the mixture and make balls of 300g. Each ball is then spread lightly over bamboo frames to dry into one large sheet of paper. After a few hours in the sun, the sheets are dry enough to remove. The result is a wonderful, 100% natural, recycled paper. People around the world are getting interested in buying this special elephant paper for their holiday cards, writing paper and much more, because it's beautiful, natural and helps so many.

　　20. Why are there few elephants in Thailand today than before?

　　A. Because they don't have enough food.

　　B. Because they were killed in the war.

　　C. Because the technology develops very fast.

　　D. Because the Mahouts don't want to keep them. 答案与解析：C　第二段中提到原因。泰国大象数量锐减是因为“科技的进步，大象过去的工作方式被淘汰”。

　　21. What is the famous product mentioned in the passage?

　　A. Paper.

　　B. Dung.

　　C. Fibers.

　　D. Bamboo frames. 答案与解析：A　文章重点提到的就是这种“漂亮、多彩的天然纸”。 22. What are the exact words to describe the whole process of the product?

　　A. Common, interesting, and inexpensive.

　　B. Unusual, amazing, and perfect.

　　C. Impossible, special, but necessary.

　　D. Natural, wonderful and common. 答案与解析：B　用大象的排泄物作成一种无异味、无公害纯天然，漂亮的纸。贴切的词正是B项的“非凡、奇特、完美”。 Ⅲ.短文改错

　　[佳作欣赏] Dear Jane，

　　Glad to hear from you and you're welcome to China in July. The following are some Chinese customs. Firstly, we greet each other by saying “Hello”or asking such questions as “Where are you going？”or “Are you busy？”to express our care. Secondly, when praised, we reply with “Oh，no！”or “I'm over­praised”to show good manners. Next, when receiving a gift, we usually say “It's unnecessary”besides “Thanks”to show politeness and then put it away. Finally, at dinner parties, we talk loudly and touch glasses when drinking to someone's health or success to show that we're warm. Anyhow, different cultures, different customs. If you “Do as the Romans do when in Rome”，you'll enjoy more of your stay here. I hope what's mentioned above might be helpful and wish you a good journey. Yours sincerely， Li Hua
