When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌) Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
1.What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs
A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone.
C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor.
2.Why did John put the sludge into the tanks
A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem.
C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine.
3.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou
A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea.
C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention.
4.What is the basis for John’s work
A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive.
C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.

John从小就喜欢观察大自然,并被自然的自净能力折服。大学时期经过专业的学习之后,John通过实验找到了合适的生态组合,发明了“生态机器”,并解决了很多实际的污水净化问题。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“loved to explore the woods” “observing how nature solved problems”和“John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes”和第二段中的“asking questions”及第二段中的两个问题可推断出,John有探究事物的好奇心,善于思考。故选C。inquiring“探究的,好问的,爱探索的”。

3.B 写作意图题。上文介绍John的发明成功了, 根据第五段的主题句“Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs.”可知,多年来,John做了很多重大的工作。本段提到净化福州的运河水是为了举例说明John的发明及其理念在实践中的应用。故选B。A“回顾John的研究计划”; B “展示John的理念的实际应用”; C“比较John的不同工作”; D“消除对John的发明的怀疑”。
4.A 推理判断题。本文主要围绕John的疑问“A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived ... if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.”展开,即一条肮脏的溪流在穿过植物和流过微生物居住的岩石后,往往会变得清澈,这个过程是否可以用来清理人们制造的脏乱呢 正是在这个疑问的指引下,John发明了“生态机器”,因此,John发明的根源就在于自然的自我修复能力,且最后一段中的“Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”也印证了John的工作依据就在于“自我修复”这一理念。故选A。
