B When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter (炼铜 厂)，and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on, something happened inside him. Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No”. Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren’t any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It would be a waste of his life to try to do it. 4 高一期中考试英语试题 共9 页 （北京）股份有限公司 Everyone knew that, he was told. Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted. Paul later got married and had some kids. But his dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote. Attainable （可得到的）good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting. And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing. Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child. 24. According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE? A. He persuaded the factory to make some plans to deal with the pollution voluntarily. B. He learned a lot about the science of plants while he was in college. C. His teachers offered his some advice on solving the pollution problem. D. At first, he managed to get some people to accept his idea. 25. What does the underlined phrase in the Paragraph 5 “the plain common sense” probably refer to? A. That it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland． B. That no one would like to join him in the efforts． C. That his normal work and life would be greatly affected． D. That he had to keep everything he did secret． 26. The company hired Paul to plant trees and grass because ________． A. they realized the importance of environmental protection B. Paul persuaded them to help him C. what Paul was doing moved them D. they were forced to do so 27. The message of the passage is that ________． A. action speaks loud
