六、阅读理解
A
When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends,
Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to
Bernie’s place. We’d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for
a big meal.
Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down
next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest,
firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a
successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of
dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends
and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how
much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you
don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is
probably hurting your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy
making all the money I could.
Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take
pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest
away.
46. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.
A. relaxed B. worried C. hungry D. proud
47. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?
A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part.
C. They ate every part of it. D. They shared only one piece.
48. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.
A. was just a rich businessman B. worked hard all the time
C. lived a rich but healthy life D. knew how to make money
49. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the best part of the watermelon B. the writer’s busy life
C. the writer’s decision of making money D. the writer’s hope of enjoying life
50. It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A. one has to work hard to reach his goal B. a friend in need is a friend in deed
C. watermelon is the healthiest fruit D. one should keep work-life balance
B
When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes
from cows—cow manure (粪肥), to be specific.
Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now
imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. That’s really a big amount.
When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them
on their fields for fertilizer(肥料). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using
cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.
Here’s how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. “The cows
aren’t bothered,” says Marie Audet. “They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one
foot and then another to let it go by.”
The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The
tank is called a digester (化粪池) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a
cow: Bacteria(细菌) get to work and continue to digest the manure.
Methane gas (甲烷、沼气)in the atmosphere is known as a “greenhouse” gas because it keeps
heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. That’s an environmental concern.
But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators (发电机).
At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family
sells the extra electricity they can’t use themselves.
51. We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow wastes to ______.
A. make electricity B. produce fertilizer C. build their farm D. feed
the cows
52. How are the cow wastes collected into the digester at Blue Farm?
A. Marie Audet does the work B. The job is done by machine
C. The cows lift the cow wastes D. Bacteria get to work on them
53. According to the passage, which of the following is changed into electricity?
A. The power of moving water. B. The heat of burning coal.
C. The power of sunlight. D. The heat of the methane gas
54. The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best described as ______.
A. reducing B. saving C. recycling D.
changing
55. What is the main purpose for writing the passage?
A. To introduce a new way of making electricity B. To explain how a new energy
works better
C. To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farm D. To explain the reasons for
green house effect
