It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So，”Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name？”“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story，” warned Jack.“Of course！” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place！”“OK, but don't say I didn't warn you，” said Jack, and he began this tale.Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different —it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.You are clearing too much land, warned one old man. The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.Silly fool, said Dennis to himself. If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous!“De nnis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened？”Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit back — just as the old man warned，”Jack shrugged. “Dennis disap peared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story，” laughed Tom. “Plants can't…” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.1.

To satisfy their curiosity.C. To warn them of the danger of the place.D. To persuade them to camp in the swamp.3. Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?A. The old man envied him.B. The old man was foolish.C. He was too busy to listen to others.D. He was greedy for more crops.4. Why did Tom scream and faint?A. He saw Dennis's shadow.B. He was scared by a plant.C. His friends played a joke on him.D. The weather became extremely cold.5. What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?A. Grasp all, lose all.B. No sweat, no sweet.C. It is no use crying over spilt milk.D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.Ⅳ.阅读简答(2014·雅礼高三月考一) David Jones is probably not somebody you want to hang out with. Not because he isn't a cool person, but because he is living with 40 deadly snakes.Jones is living in a room for 121 days with more than three dozen constrictors, green mambas, boomslangs and other deadly snakes in an attempt to set a Guinness world record. The record for most days spent confined to a room with this particular number of snakes is 113, set by Martin Smith in 2008.“I am hoping people will realize that we can live with these fantastic creatures without fearing and killing them. People come and see me here and are constantly amazed at how I am interact with these animals. The snakes are not restrained in any way and make the full use of the entire room including my bed, shower and toilet，” Jones explains. They mainly hide out in cupboards or on the various makeshift (临时的)branches or bushes that Jones has in their shared quarters. Once a week, someone brings captured mice and rats to offer as a sacrifice to the snakes.David Jones is forced to move the snakes with a “hook stick” throughout the day, so that he can do things like sitting at his desk or typing on his laptop, his only means of contacting the outside world.The snakes often drop on his pillow or shoulders as he's trying to work or sleep, but there have so far been no instances of Jones being bitten by one of these deadly snakes. He said, “if I give them respect, we can live together happily.”Jones is doing this for charity. All the money raised will go to a hospice(收容所) in his hometown of Crawley, near London.1.

When I bake cookies, I immediately miss them the moment I have eaten the last one. Last summer when I left a summer camp, I didn't realize how great it really was until I got home. What happens, however, when that happens to one of your senses?A few months ago I woke up deaf in one ear. I did not pay much attention to it at first. It felt that I had water in my ear. However, I began to hear less and less out of that ear. I even had to ask people to talk into my other ear so I could hear them. I didn't realize how serious it was until later in the day. That evening, when I was sitting on my bed doing chemistry homework, I fell off my bed! When trying to get up, I was incredibly dizzy(头晕的).I went to see a doctor who told me that hearing loss was common. However, it was usually bilateral,_or occurs in both ears. He said that my hearing should come back within a week.After about a week the dizziness eventually went away, but the hearing loss did not. The medicine helped and I gained some of my hearing back. After many hearing tests, it was determined that I had permanent hearing loss in that ear.School became harder for me because I couldn't hear my teachers. I was very depressed.Finally, I bought a hearing aid. With the hearing aid, my hearing is almost back to normal! It makes school and group conversations easier.My friends, teachers, and even complete strangers always ask me questions about hearing loss.I answer them patiently. I never get offended because I know that this is new to them. I am delighted I can teach them something new.What I have learned from this particular situation is that when things are desperate, there is always something good that can come out of it. My experience has given me an opportunity to teach people about something new to them and it has taught me about the value of hearing.1. What do you know from the first paragraph?A.

It can also becontrolled from anywhere —even bed —using gestures or speech. The system works uses projectors (投影仪) and sensors already available.“The hardware is complete but only 40 percent of the software is finished，”said Ion Cuervas-Mons, director of Think Big Factory, a Spanish design agency which created the project.“Everything in the house can be used to communicate. Through projections that are activated(激活) by the presence of a person, we can control everything with the movement of the hands: the lights; turning on any electrical household appliances; music; even connecting to Skype for a conference from any part of the house.”The system aims to replace the traditional keyboards and remote controls needed to interact with technology.However, Mr. Cuervas-Mons claims much of the technology will be invisible. “I don't think that an Openarch home is going to look any different. New technologies must be non-intrusive and natural，” he said.Mr Cuervas-Mons says the first inhabitant has already moved into the experimental apartment. “He is delighted to use the house. The main interface is in the living room, where he can see social networks, magazines, and play music just using gestures，” he said.The project uses sensing cameras such as Microsoft's Kinect to track users, allowing them to swipe(滑动)in mid air to move through menus.The project started three years ago, and the project was built in an apartment in the North of Spain, all using existing technology.“Now we have around 40% of the applications actually running — and we hope to finish soon, then begin developing products so people can actually begin using it.”1.
