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 (影响) 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 (签名)，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  我们可用“主旨大意法”解答本题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了一个爱护环境的勇敢的男孩的故事。故选B。

2. C  我们可用“词义猜测法”解答本题。本段主要讲述了安德鲁·霍勒曼为了阻止在这块土地上建房子所采取的措施。由此可知，他除了给当地*官员和电视台记者写信，还呼吁他的邻居们反对建房子。因此推断oppose的意思是“反对；不同意”。故选C。

3. B  我们可用“联系上下文法”解答本题。由第三段内容可知，如果在这块土地上建房子，土地上的植物将会被除掉，大多数动物可能会死去。 再结合第四段When he heard about the news，he was not was very worried that the land and water would be polluted.可推知，安德鲁很担心是因为人们会在这片开阔的土地上建新房子。

4. D  我们可用“细节查阅法”解答本题。由第六段内容可知，安德鲁挨家挨户地奔走是为了让人们签名反对建房子，故A项与原文不符；由第五段内容可知，安德鲁给电视台记者写信，说明他和电视台记者有联系，故B项与原文不符；由第六段的第一句可知，虽然只有12岁，但是他拥有比他年长得多的人所拥有的勇气和智慧，而不是说他的举止通常像一个比他年长得多的人，故C项与原文不符；由第六段的第二、三句可知，安德鲁的老师和同学都表扬他，故D项与原文相符。选D。

5. A  我们可用“推理判断法”解答本题。由短文内容可知，在安德鲁的努力下，这片土地上没有被建上房子。因此推断，这片土地将会像它过去那样被保留着。故选A。
