4．Once upon a time，a man was walking on a mountain when he found an incredible cave with all kinds of treasure inside it．So he gave up his job，his home，and his friends，and spent all his time guarding the cave．
    He was so dedicated to it that he hardly ate or drank and before long he fell ill．One day，when he could hardly move at all，he decided to share the treasure．
    He crawled （爬） into the cave to get a handful of jewels，but discovered，to his horror，that it was empty except for a small emerald（綠寶石）．The man took it and gave it to the first person to come by，a woman．
    Then an old man came by．"What bad luck!"the man said．"Just a moment ago I gave a woman the last of the treasure I was guarding．"
"Are you sure there is nothing left？"the old man asked．
    The man took him into the cave，where they found a chest with jewels and some bags of gold．The man was shocked，and the old man explained to him，"At last!At last someone has broken the spell（咒語）of this cave．This is the Cave of Treasure，and you're the first to have passed its great test．Many have dedicated their lives to this cave，only to end up realizing there was nothing here…"
"And why does this happen？"the man asked．
"This magic cave has only as many riches as your own heart．When someone discovers it，the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them，but later，when they have devoted themselves to guarding the treasure，their hearts become empty，as does the cave．The only way to fill it is by filling your heart with all that is good，as you did by giving the woman that last jewel．"
    From that day on，the man understood that it was better to share than to keep．Thanks to the cave and the old man，he became noble and generous．
56．Why did the man give up his job，home and friends？B
A．Because he possessed a variety of treasure．
B．Because he had to guard the treasure cave．
C．Because he wanted to find the treasure cave．
D．Because he devoted himself to a great test．
57．What did the man find when he showed the cave to the old man？D
A．A small emerald．
B．A handful of jewels．
C．All kinds of treasure．
D．A chest filled with jewels and some gold．
58．What do we learn about the people who dedicated their lives to the cave before？
A   
A．They all found the cave empty at last．
B．The old man freed them from its spell．
C．They all filled the cave with the treasure they had．
D．They thought it was better to share than to enjoy the treasure alone．
59．What do we learn from the text？A
A．Purely material things cannot make us truly wealthy．
B．Different people have different views．
C．Treasure only belongs to those who possess it．
D．Some people never learn what is really valuable．

分析 本文主要講述了很久以前有人發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個藏有寶藏的山洞，他將所有的時間都用在了山洞里，以至于他幾乎不吃不喝，很快就病倒了，后來他決定分享這個山洞中的財富，因此變得高貴大方．作者通過這個故事告訴我們要學會分享才能使我們真正的富有．

解答 56．B  細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第一段So he gave up his job，his home，and his friends，and spent all his time guarding the cave．可知他這樣做是為了保護這個洞穴．故選B．
57．D  細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第六段The man took him into the cave，where they found a chest with jewels and some bags of gold．可知他們進來的時候，里面有了很多的珠寶．故選D．
58．A  推理判斷題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段when they have devoted themselves to guarding the treasure，their hearts empty，as does the cave．可知如果看守這個洞穴的人的心靈是空的，那么這個洞穴里的寶貝也就沒有了．故選A．
59．A  主旨大意題．本文講述的人要學會分享，單純的物質(zhì)并不能讓我們變得富有．只有當我學會了與人分享的時候，才是真正的富有．

點評 本文考察學生的故事類閱讀理解，抓住題干關鍵詞，采用尋讀的方法查找細節(jié)，能根據(jù)已知結(jié)果推測導致結(jié)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 （河貍） 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 （狩獵監(jiān)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 （編織） 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 （炸藥使用者） 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．

15．I was on the escalator．There was an old man．He was about five or six people ahead of me．People behind him were all in a hurry and saw him as an obstacle（障礙）．This man was well aware of the challenge．He tried desperately to step aside．
I'll admit it．Sometimes when walking or driving behind an older person I've gotten impatient and upset．
"I'm sorry．Please forgive me!I don't mean to hold you up．"the old man said as he struggled to get off the escalator．
I suddenly saw this in a whole new light．I felt sorry for him．I felt sick to my stomach because this man was apologizing to everyone，when we should have been helping him and calming his fears．
One by one，people zipped around him．By the time I got to him，I asked，"My friend，can I help you with those things？"
Hesitant at first，he finally said，"Well，yes，thank you!"
I placed my hand under his left arm and walked with him a safe distance away from the rush of people．
"So what are you shopping for，sir？"
"0h，just a little something for my neighbor．She's a young mother raising kids on her own．She's always so nice to me．I bought a box of candy for Mother'S Day …"he said，stopping suddenly as he searched his inside pocket of his sport coat．"Do you need something？"I asked．
"Oh，no．Here．I think I have it right here．I always carry them with me．"he said．
Then he took out some business cards and handed me one which read："John A．Pomicter Friend to all，_______．
I said a prayer today and you were the answer．Thank you!"
"That's for you．"he said，"Thanks for stopping to help an old man．"
"My friend，you helped me．I discovered that I was unhappy with the world and I was part of the problem．Now I'll be part of the solution．No more with me!"

56．Why did the old man ask for forgiveness？D
A．People behind him were in a hurry．
B．He was too old to make his way easily．
C．He made the author get impatient and upset．
D．He thought he might be in the way as an obstacle to hold rushing walkers up．
57．What made the author feel sorry for the old man？B
A．Nobody else gave hand to the old man who really needed help．
B．It was the old man who should have been calmed，but kept making an apology to everyone．
C．The old man who did something for a young mother should get help．
D．It was not easy for the old man to get off the escalator．
