五、完形填空。
From the day “Mother Nature” gave me life,I expected to grow tall and big.
As a young
1 tree
,I was well protected in the forest. I used to
2 have
a good time with my friends under the blue sky and
3 along
the river. Our only purpose was to stand high. My pal,Tim,often said,“All I ask for is to be
4 happy
the whole day. ”
More than 300 days passed and we grew straight. Until one day,our
5 first
birthday,people came,moved us from the
6 earth
and put us on their trucks. “I don’t want to go!” Tim cried.
After a long journey,we arrived at a completely different place with
7 nothing
green. Here we were planted in a line.
8 Because
the wind blew strongly,I could not even open my eyes to see Tim
9 clearly
beside me. So we needed enough
10
water
to grow thicker and higher to stop the wind.
As time went by,we finally
11 became
much stronger. I could keep my eyes open in the wind! I even found the blue sky was back!
This was no longer no-man’s land,and hundreds of visitors came here. A man took a picture of us with his
12 camera
. “Thank you. We can enjoy clear days
13 without
worrying about sandstorms. ” A young girl jumping up and down came over and
14 hugged
me. “Thank you,” she said. “It’s you that have turned the desert into a green land!”
Tim and I smiled at each other,feeling
15 proud
. The sun was shining brightly in the blue sky.
