A friend and I went for a walk up a small hill. Everywhere around us the grass was a dull brown color, as if painted with a dirty brush. I told my thought to my friend who, in reply, drew from his coat a pocket microscope. Bending down, he picked some of the ugly-colored growth and handed it to me with the microscope. I could hardly believe my eyes, for suddenly I was looking at some 高二年级英语试题 第4 页共10 页 shining tiny flowers of lovely color. It seemed strange that so much beauty should be so hidden, a secret life carried on by nature beneath a dull exterior (外表). Some days later, while I was at the hospital where I worked, a woman entered with three children. Her hair hung in untidy wisps round a face whose uncared-for skin looked dried and dull. She sat down and waited her turn with the patience of the poor. The children gradually gathered courage and made braver explorations as time went by. Suddenly the little girl overbalanced and fell. Both her brothers, a little bigger than her, rushed anxiously to her aid. When the child fell, the mother had at first started up in alarm, but when she saw that the child was not really hurt and that her brothers were caring for her with such love, her eyes grew soft and a look of such indescribable love passed over her face — once again I looked at great beauty. Beauty lies on every side; we must develop our own microscopes of perception (感知能力) in order to look through the physical exterior which, like the grass-covered hillside, conceals a beauty still hidden from our eyes. 24. Why did the author and his friend go for a walk up a small hill? A. To enjoy the beauty of the day. B. To test his friend’s microscope. C. To find hidden beauty on the hill. D. To check the growth of the grass. 25. What was the beauty the author found in the woman he met in the hospital? A. Her kindness. B. Her strong will. C. Her patience as a patient. D. Her great love as a mother. 26. What does the author intend to tell us through the text? A. Nature can teach us a lot. B. The poor have a soft heart. C. We should learn to find hidden beauty. D. We should never look down upon the poor. 27. What does the underlined word “conceals” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Steals. B. Covers. C. Freezes. D. Exposes. C By the year 2050, a fifth of the world’s cities will experience unprecedented(前所未有) climate conditions and environments that currently don’t exist in any major cities, according to new research. A team of scientists at the Crowther Lab in Switzerland produced the report, which described the climate for 520 major cities 30 years in the future. The results showed that 77 percent of the world’s cities will experience a surprising change in climate conditions by 2050, and 22 percent of the 520 cities will see conditions that are not currently experienced by any existing major cities. In China in 2050, the climate of Xi’an, in Shaanxi province, will be similar to that of current day Maseru, the capital city of Lesotho in southern Africa, with the maximum temperature of the warmest month likely to increase by 4.59.
