A
The
pacific
island
nation
of
Nauru
used
to
be
a
beautiful
place.
Now
it
is
an
ecological
disaster
area.
Nauru
’
s
heartbreaking
story
could
have
one
good
consequence
—
other
countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian
people lived on the remote island of Nauru,
far from western civilization. The
first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798.
He
was the British captain of the
Hunter
, a whaling ship. He
called the island Pleasant
Island.
However,
because
it
was
very
remote,
Nauru
had
little
communication
with
Europeans at first.
Then whaling ships and other traders began to
visit, bringing guns
and alcohol. These
elements destroyed the social balance of the
twelve family groups
on the island. A
ten-year civil war started, which reduced the
population from 1,400 to
900.
Nauru
’
s real
troubles began in 1899 when a British mining
company discovered
phosphate(
磷酸盐
) on
the island. In fact, it found that the island of
Nauru was nearly
all phosphate, which
is
a very important
fertilizer for farming. The company
began
mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the
ground; it is a strip mine. When a company
strip-mines, it removes the top layer
of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants.
Strip-mining totally destroys the land.
Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to
look like the moon.
In 1968,
Nauru became one of the richest countries in the
world. Every year the
government
received millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately,
the
leaders
invested
the
money
unwisely
and
lost
millions
of
dollars.
In
addition,
they
used
millions
more
dollars
for
personal
expenses.
Soon
people
realized
that
they
had
a
terrible
problem
—
their
phosphate
was
running
out.
Ninety percent of their island was
destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru
was
almost
financially
ruined.
Experts
say
that
it
would
take
approximately
＄
433,600,000 and more than
20 years to repair the island. This will probably
never
happen.
56. What might
be the author
’
s purpose in
writing the text?
A. To seek help for
Nauru
’
s problems.
B.
To give a warning to other countries.
C. To show the
importance of money.
D. To tell a heartbreaking
story of a war.
57. What was Nauru like
before the Europeans came?
A. Rich and powerful.
B. Modern and open.
C. Peaceful and
attractive
D. Greedy and
aggressive.
58. The ecological disaster
in Nauru resulted from____.
A. soil
pollution
B. phosphate overmining
C.
farming activity
D. whale hunting
59. Which
of the following was a cause of
Nauru
’
s financial problem?
A.
Its leaders misused the money.
B. It spent too
much repairing the island.
C. Its phosphate mining
cost much money.
D. It lost millions of
dollars in the civil war.
60. What can
we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A.
The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
B.
The leaders will take the
experts
’
words seriously.
C.
The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.
D.
The phosphate mines were destroyed.
B
One of the greatest
contributors to the first
Oxford
English Dictionary
was also
one
of
its
most
unusual.
In
1879,
Oxford
University
in
England
asked
Prof.
James
Murray
to
serve
as
editor
for
what
was
to
be
the
most
ambitious
dictionary
in
the
history
of
the
English
language.
It
would
include
every
English
word
possible
and
would give not only the definition but
also the history of the word and
quotations(
引
文
)
showing how it was used.
This was a
huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from
Britain, the United
States, and the
British colonies to search every newspaper,
magazine, and book ever
written
in
English.
Hundreds
of
volunteers
responded,
including
William
Chester
Minor. Dr. Minor was
an American surgeon who had served in the Civil
War and was
now living in England. He
gave his address as
“
Broadmoor, Crowthorne,
Berkshire,
”
50
miles from Oxford.
Minor
joined
the
army
of
volunteers
sending
words
and
quotations
to
Murray.
Over the next 17
years, he became one of the
staff
’
s most valued
contributors.
But he was also a
mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would
always decline
to visit Oxford. So in
1897, Murray finally decided to travel to
Crowthorne himself.
When
he
arrived,
he
found
Minor
locked
in
a
book-lined
cell
at
the
Broadmoor
Asylum(
精神病院
) for
the Criminally Insane.
Murray and Minor
became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor
continued
contributing to the
dictionary, sending in more than 10,000
submissions in 20 years.
Murray
continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes
taking walks with him around
the asylum
grounds.
In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor
for an asylum in his native America. Murray was
at the port to wave goodbye to his
remarkable friend.
Minor
died
in
1920,
seven
years
before
the
first
edition
of
the
Oxford
English
Dictionary
was completed.
The 12 volunteers defined 414,825 words, and
thousands
of them were contributions
from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.
61. According to the text, the first
Oxford English Dictionary
____.
A. came out before Minor died
B.
was edited by an American volunteer
C. included the
English words invented by Murray
D. was intended
to be the most ambitious English dictionary
62. How did Dr. Minor contribute to the
dictionary?
A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of
volunteers.
B. He sent newspapers, magazines and
books to Murray.
