阅读理解


I'm not much of a gardener. I love having beautiful flowers-but I don't have a good track record
when it comes to making them grow.

A few months after our son left for the Middle East, my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs (

金香球茎
). She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all
winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring.
''When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you'll know that it's almost
time for your son to come home. They'll give you what you need most.'' She walked me through
the process of planting them. I thanked her

trying to show my gratitude for her gift.

It was a long winter

cold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I
felt with my son away. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I'd
planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.

Finally the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area
of green. I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun
to grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun.

Day after day I noted the flowers' progress. And day after day, the time approached when my
son would finally be home. Now with spring just around the corner, nothing could keep either of
us
from
marching
toward
the
light.
Almost
all
of
those
bulbs
bloomed.
And
with each
brightly
colored flower, I marked off one day closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again.

In
the
nineteenth
century,
one
of
America's
greatest
writers,
Walt
Whitman,
helped
people
learn to value poetry. Whitman created a new kind of poetry.

Walt Whitman was born in eighteen nineteen in New York City. During his long life, he watched
America
grow from
a young
nation
to
the
strongest
industrial
power
in
the
world.
As
a young
man, Whitman worked as a school teacher, a printer and a newspaper reporter. He was thirty-six
years old when he published his first book of poetry in eighteen fifty-five. He called it
Leaves of
Grass
. It had only twelve poems. The poems are written in free verse. The lines do not follow any
set form. Some lines are short. Some are long. The words at the end of each line do not have a
similar sound. They do not rhyme.


One
of
America's
greatest
thinkers
and
writers
immediately
recognized
the
importance
of
Leaves
of
Grass
.
Ralph
Waldo
Emerson
praised
Whitman's
work.
But
most
other
poets
and
writers said nothing and even denounced it. Most readers also rejected Whitman's poems. The
new
form
of
his
poetry
surprised
many
people.
Even
his
own
brother
told
Whitman
that
he
should stop writing poetry. But Whitman had many things to say. And he continued to say them.
Readers began to understand that America had a great new poetic voice.

Walt Whitman's poems praise the United States and its democracy. The poet expressed his love
for America and its people in many ways. Experts today praise Leaves of Grass as a major literary
work. In eighteen seventy-three, Walt Whitman suffered a stroke. He spent the last years of his
life in Camden, New Jersey. Whitman was poor and weak during the last years of his life. He died
in eighteen ninety-two. Some critics say Walt Whitman was a spokesman for democracy. Others
say he was not a spokesman for anything. Instead, they simply call him a great poet.


1

What can we know about Whitman?

A. His poems have the same rhyme.

B. He is the first great poet in the USA

of Hurricane Harvey on thousands of people caught my eyes. We saw many unfortunate events.

When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two
days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding

for
the
eventual
rescue
that

flood
water
rose
in
the
street
outside.
They
took
advantage
of
their
emergency
power
supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves
and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more
people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we
took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.


The
store
manager,
Brian
Alvarado,
told
The
Independent,

a
disaster
occurs,
nobody should just feel forlorn. Instead

we should take positive action to save ourselves and
help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.

the positive energy that I needed.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just
read.

Milton Hershey was born near the small village of Derry Church, Pennsylvania, in 1857. He only
attended school through the fourth grade; at that point, he was
apprenticed
(
做学徒
) to a printer
in a nearby town. After a while, he left the printing business and was apprenticed to a Lancaster,
Pennsylvania
candy
maker.
And
at
the
age
of
eighteen,
he
opened
his
own
candy
store
in
Philadelphia. In spite of his talents as a candy maker, the shop failed after six years.

After the failure of his Philadelphia store, Milton headed for Denver, where he learned the art
of making
caramels
(
焦糖
). Then in Denver, Milton once again attempted to open his own candy-
making
businesses,
in
Chicago,
New
Orleans,
and
New
York
City.
Finally,
in
1886,
he
went
to
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he raised the money necessary to try again. This company

the
Lancaster Caramel Company

established Milton's reputation as a master candy maker.


In
1893,
Milton
attended
the
Chicago
International
Exposition,
where
he
saw
a
display
of
German
chocolate-making
implements.
Fascinated
by
the
equipment,
he
purchased
it
for
his
Lancaster candy factory and began producing chocolate, which he used for coating his caramels.
By the next year, production had grown to include cocoa, sweet chocolate, and baking chocolate.
The
Hershey
Chocolate
company
was
born
in
1894
as
a
subsidiary
(
子公司
)
of
the
Lancaster
Caramel Company. Six years later, Milton sold the caramel company, but reserved the rights, and
the equipment, to make chocolate. He believed that a large market of chocolate consumers was
waiting for someone to produce reasonably priced candy. He was right.

Milton Hershey returned to the village where he had been born, in the heart of dairy country,
and opened his chocolate manufacturing plant. With access to all the fresh milk he needed, he
began producing the finest milk chocolate. The plant that opened in a small Pennsylvania village
in 1905 is today the largest chocolate factory in the world. The sweets created at this facility are
favorites around the world.

The area where the factory is located is now known as Hershey, Pennsylvania. Within the first
decades of its existence, the town of Hershey thrived, as did the chocolate business. A bank, a
school,
churches,
a
department
store,
even
a
park
and
a
trolley
system
all
appeared
in
short
order;
the
town
soon
even
had
a
zoo.
Today,
a
visit
to
the
area
reveals
the
Hershey
Medical
Center, Milton Hershey School, and Hershey's Chocolate World

a theme park where visitors are
greeted by a giant Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. All of these things

and a huge number of happy
chocolate lovers

were made possible because a caramel maker visited the Chicago Exposition of
1893!


1

The mention of the 1893 Exposition indicates that _______.

A. the exposition in Chicago is held once every three years.

B. the theme of the exposition of 1893 was

C. the exposition contained displays from a variety of countries.

D. the site of the exposition is now a branch of the Hershey Chocolate Company.


2

According to the passage, Milton Hershey sold his caramel company in _______.

A. 1894
B. 1900
C. 1904
D. 1905


3

What can you infer from the passage?

A. Chocolate is popular in every country in the world.

B. Reeses Peanut Butter Cups are manufactured by the Hershey Chocolate Company.

C. Chocolate had never been manufactured in the United States before Milton Hershey did it.

D. The
Hershey
Chocolate
Company
now
makes
more
money
from
Hershey's
Chocolate
World
than from the manufacture and sale of chocolate.

The author wrote this passage mainly to _______.

A. recount the founding of the Hershey Chocolate Company

B. describe the process of manufacturing chocolate

C. compare the popularity of chocolate to other candies

D. explain how apprenticeships work
