Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel daily to work.
There are some particular blue flowers that have always caught my eye. I’ve noticed that they bloom only in the morning hours and the afternoon sun is too warm for them. Every day for about two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty…” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel（铲子）one year in my car to be used for that expressed purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was shocked to see that the highway department had destroyed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister has a terminal brain tumor（肿瘤）. She is 20 years older than me and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. 
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I’ll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.
【小题1】 Why did those flowers the writer saw only bloom in the morning?
A．Because it was hot in the afternoon.
B．Because someone picked them away.
C．Because someone took them into houses.
D．Because the writer passed them in the morning.

A．The writer’s sister died of lung tumor.
B．The writer was regretful when she heard her sister’s death.
C．The writer planned to dig the flowers to give them to her husband.

阅读理解。
       Think of life in a desert: no food or water, only strong sun and heavy wind full of sand. You'd die of
thirst while waiting for a passing plane that never comes.
        But don't dismiss the thought as a nightmare (噩梦). Your hometown could become a desert if nothing
is done to prevent it.
        Deserts are eating land at high speed. In China, desertification (沙漠化) has affected 2,622,000 square
kilometres, equal to 14 Guangdong Provinces, mostly in the North. Deserts are advancing at a pace of 2,460
kilometres per year.
       According to the UN, one-third of the planet's land surface, with one billion people, has become desert.
Africa, Asia and Latin America have the driest land in danger of desertification.
        Recognizing the threat (威胁) to human beings, the United Nations has named 2006 the International
Year of Deserts and Desertification.
        It wants to increase public awareness (关注) of advancing deserts. Activities include a film festival in
Rome with films on life in unproductive (贫瘠的) lands. Meetings will discuss international cooperation, such
as planting trees and changing agricultural practices.
        Desertification takes place where rain is little and the climate hot. But human activities are the biggest
cause. Land turns into desert when the soil is over-farmed and too many animals eat up plants. To make
money, people also cut down trees that hold the soil. Desertification brings serious problems. From 1991 to
2000, droughts (干旱) killed over 280,000 people worldwide. When land becomes useless, there's a big loss
in food production.     
        Dust from deserts is blown into cities around the world. Each spring, Beijing is at risk of yellow dust
from the Gobi Desert. Dust from Africa reaches cities in the US and Europe, leading to illnesses and
worsening environments.
1. Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?
[     ]
A. The bad influences of deserts.
B. How serious desertification is.
C. What makes land turn into desert.
D. The ways to change deserts into farms.
2. The purpose of writing the first paragraph is to _______.
[     ]

A. serve as a picture of a large desert
B. show how important water is to humans
C. draw your attention to the problem of desertification
D. show how much is needed to be done to change deserts

3. We can know from the passage that _______.
[     ]
A. deserts can be easily seen in both hot and dry places
B. one third of the area in Africa has become desert
C. the UN has made many films on desertification in 2006
D. dealing with desertification needs world-wide cooperation
