　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　A

　　In the 1930s，the people of the southern Great plains suffered through one of the worst disasters in history.

　　That April Sunday in 1935 started out beautiful.But later the wind picked up earth，and it looked like a huge black cloud.By the time it got to an area called No Man’s Land，the cloud was thousands of feet high.

　　Close by in Liberal，Kansas,11-year-old Lila Lee and a friend sought refuge (藏身處) from the angry mountain of dust in a house.“I was sure I was going to die，” she told historian Paul Bonnifield.

　　That day was known as Black Sunday.Bobert Geiger，a reporter，knew how the area’s farmers had already suffered from the long drought (旱災)．In his article，Geiger made up a phrase that gave a name to the area：The Dust Bowl.

　　The disaster had a number of causes.But most experts say it was the actions of humans that made it so bad.Early in the 20th century，a lot of people began to settle there，encouraged by the building of new railroads.The worst thing that settlers did was to plow up (鏟掉) the area’s grass to plant wheat.The grass，which had been there for centuries，was the material that kept the soil together.Without it，trouble was certain to come.

　　At first，things went the settlers’ way.During World War I，there was good rain and wheat prices were high.But after the war，prices dropped.Some people gave up their land and the rains stopped.But because so many people had plowed up so much grass，the results were disastrous.

　　The crisis (危機) didn’t pass until the end of the 1930s.The government developed methods to fight dust storms.Finally，in 1939，the rains returned.

　　1．Which of the following describes the situation of Black Sunday?

　　A．There were no clouds in the sky.

　　3．Why did some people give up their land after World War I?

　　A．There was too much grass in the farmland.

　　B．They earned little money by selling wheat.

　　C．Their land was too wet to plant wheat.

　　D．Their land was used to build railroads.

　　4．How do Paragraphs 5 and 6 mainly develop?

　　B

　　(2024·甘肅天水市秦安縣高三模擬)Besides containing attractive flowers，trees and other plants that beautify the community，eco-friendly rain gardens are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby.

　　A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden.It is just a far more eco-friendly garden.Usually it is built lower than the ground.Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak (浸入)slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply.

　　Thus，a rain garden keeps the water，allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden，rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused.The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two.This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed.This is a simple，attractive，and eco-friendly “green” way to treat storm water.

　　What’s more，planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment.Without using expensive machinery and chemicals，rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.

　　Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate，soil，and water conditions.They may attract local wildlife such as native birds.Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week，unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week.Once native plants establish the necessary root system，they will require little care.

　　Often，local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems.However，you don’t need to be a professionally environmental engineer to create a rain garden.As long as you’re eco-conscious homeowners，you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.
