(A)John Wesley Powell(1834—1902)was a famous explorer of the American West. When he was young, his mother put him under the guidance of George Crookham, a self-taught scientist, from whom he received a wide but informal education. Young John learned many things about the natural sciences. But his father preferred him to study religion. The argument continued for three years. Then John decided to leave home to seek further education. He soon discovered that he knew more about science than any teacher he met. He realized that the only good scientific education in the country came from colleges in the east, like Harvard and Yale. But he was too poor to go to them, so he got work as a school teacher in Illinois. Whenever possible, he went on scientific trips of his own.
In 1861, civil war broke out in the United States. John joined the Union forces of the North. At the battle of Shiloh Powell lost his right arm. Despite his disability, he began his famous exploration of the Colorado River on May 24, 1869.
It was one of the greatest trips of discovery in the history of America. Never before had any white men travelled to that area. The trip was far more dangerous than expected. The rivers were filled with rocky areas and waterfalls. Sometimes, the boats overturned or broke into pieces against big rocks. All along the way, Powell measured distances, temperatures, heights, depths and currents. He examined soils, rocks and plant life. Powell’s explorations led to the creation of the US Geological Survey, which became responsible for all mapping and scientific programs of American lands.
Powell’s scientific studies of western lands shaped his ideas of how those lands should be used. He suggested programs to control both crop farming and cattle raising. He was especially concerned about water supplies. Many of his ideas were rejected at first and were not signed into law until years after his death because they were far ahead of his time. (373W)

The towers, called the Bosco Verticale, are under construction in Milan. Towering over the city skyline, these are the world’s first forest in the sky apartments.
With trees equal to 10, 000 square meters of forest covering 27 floors, the twin towers will be home to an astonishing 730 trees, 5, 000 bushes and 11, 000 ground plants.
Michele Brunello, director of Boeri Studios, explained, “The idea of a vertical forest came when we were involved in a local tree planting project. We imagined the building that allowed the landscape(景观)to enter it. ”
Brunello’s concept is designed to save on land, which is a precious resource in the centre of a major city.
“We can provide the quality of life of expensive housing without consuming the resources that conventional housing would demand. ” he said.
Bosco Verticale has been designed as a home to a variety of plants, which planners hope will act as a filter(过滤器)to pollution from traffic, shade people from the sun and will change its appearance each season.
“People live with the trees but they don’t own them—they arecommunal, ” said Brunello.
“All the plants have been picked by the designers to be suitable to the height and correct side of the building. So the people aren’t just choosing an apartment based on the size and view, but also they need to consider which trees and plants they will be living with. ”
Safety is also a major factor. If a tree was blown down in the wind from a great height, this could be a huge problem. So we tested various trees to make sure we had the right ones.
When the sky forest is completed, the structure will house the same amount of people as 50, 000 square meters of conventional urban area. What’s more, it will be home to insects, birds and animals that usually live in the parks of Milan. (366W)
6. By saying “allowed the landscape to enter it” Brunello means that .
A. trees will be planted inside the building
B. the towers are part of the tree planting project
C. the landscape of trees and plants is part of the towers
D. the landscape of trees can be moved into the building freely
7. What does the underlined word “communal” in Para. 6 probably mean?
A. Expensive.
B. Public.
C. Dangerous.
D. Unaffordable.
8. Which of the following may not be considered when buying an apartment in Bosco Verticale?
A. The size of the apartment.
B. The view of the apartment.
C. The different trees on the towers.
D. The amount of birds living in the trees.
9. Which isn’t the benefit that the Bosco Verticale can bring to Milan?
A. Cleaning the polluted air by traffic.
B. Lowering the conventional houses’price.
C. Changing its appearance each season.
D. Shading people from the sun.
10. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Brunello creates a special park
B. Bosco Verticale consumes less land
C. Italy will plant a variety of trees
D. Milan constructs towers of trees
