Andrew Holleman，a 12-year-old boy，loved playing in the open land near his home. The land was wet and forested，and made a home for the birds，other animals and many different plants.

It made the perfect place for him to study and get to know the nature. He had seen some red-tailed hawks，red foxes，wood turtles and other animals. He also found special native flowers.

Suddenly it was announced that the“empty” land would be improved by a lot of houses on it. The plants would be removed，the animals would run away and most would probably die. Then the wet soil (土壤) would be covered with extra grounds.

When he heard about the news，he was not happy. He was very worried that the land and water would be polluted.

Andrew wrote down clearly all the research he had done about the area，and how the houses would affect (影響) the local environment. He sent letters to members of local government and television reporters. He also called on his neighbors to oppose the building of the houses.

Although he was only 12 years old，he had the courage and wisdom of a person much older. Andrew’s teachers described him as gentle，shy and active. His classmates also admired how much he knew about local animals and plants，and the environment. Each day after school，Andrew went door-to-door，to ask the people to sign (簽名)，who did not want the houses to be built. In only one month，he got the signatures of 250 people.

In the end，the land remained a safe place for birds，animals and plants that belonged there.

Andrew won many prizes for his brave and great work to stop the houses being built，and thus help save the environment.

【回答】

1. B  我們可用“主旨大意法”解答本題。通讀全文可知，本文主要講述了一個愛護環境的勇敢的男孩的故事。故選B。

2. C  我們可用“詞義猜測法”解答本題。本段主要講述了安德魯·霍勒曼為了阻止在這塊土地上建房子所採取的措施。由此可知，他除了給當地*官員和電視臺記者寫信，還呼籲他的鄰居們反對建房子。因此推斷oppose的意思是“反對；不同意”。故選C。

3. B  我們可用“聯絡上下文法”解答本題。由第三段內容可知，如果在這塊土地上建房子，土地上的植物將會被除掉，大多數動物可能會死去。 再結合第四段When he heard about the news，he was not was very worried that the land and water would be polluted.可推知，安德魯很擔心是因為人們會在這片開闊的土地上建新房子。

4. D  我們可用“細節查閱法”解答本題。由第六段內容可知，安德魯挨家挨戶地奔走是為了讓人們簽名反對建房子，故A項與原文不符；由第五段內容可知，安德魯給電視臺記者寫信，說明他和電視臺記者有聯絡，故B項與原文不符；由第六段的第一句可知，雖然只有12歲，但是他擁有比他年長得多的人所擁有的勇氣和智慧，而不是說他的舉止通常像一個比他年長得多的人，故C項與原文不符；由第六段的第二、三句可知，安德魯的老師和同學都表揚他，故D項與原文相符。選D。

5. A  我們可用“推理判斷法”解答本題。由短文內容可知，在安德魯的努力下，這片土地上沒有被建上房子。因此推斷，這片土地將會像它過去那樣被保留著。故選A。
