Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

A

The professor's house，big and untidy，stood alone at one end of a huge garden.The place was totally uncared for，quite wild and overgrown with all sorts of useless things.I fought my way to the front door and rang the bell.

I was glad that I had found him.In twenty minutes he put me right on all the points that had puzzled me.As I got ready to leave，I looked out of his study window and said，“You're very fond of gardening，I see.”

“No，I'm not，”he said.“But even so，I love this garden.It's as I always wanted it to be.I never touch it at all.”

“It could be made lovely.It seems a pity to let all this ground go to waste.But perhaps you don't see it that way？”

“I don't.I lived here when I was a child，and I had more than enough of gardening then.It was my father's hobby，you see.Unfortunately，he wasn't fit enough to do it himself.My brother and I did all of it between us with a spade(铁锹)and a fork year after year.There was one right way and many wrong ways.Each blade(flat，long leaf)of life was an enemy to be rooted out by hand，not just cut off.I've spent a good part of life at work here.”

“I see.You took a dislike to it，and now you're getting even！”

“I disliked it.Then，of course，I didn't understand the effect it had.It used to worry me.It appeared in my dreams a mistake here，something not quite straight there，the enemy showing its head in a place I was supposed to have cleaned.The work was too much.It seemed endless.The size of taking the place was itself a fight to a boy.

“And now it's yours.You're just letting it go to...”

“Ruin？”he said.“No，I don't agree with that.This garden and I are now the best friends.I like watching it grow in its own way.I make no demands on it.I never interfere with(干扰)it，and it never interferes with me.It has freedom at last，and so have I．”

“But the path is overgrown，It's inconvenient for you，isn't it？”

“That's part of my pleasure，”he laughed.“You can go out the back way.The weeds are shorter there because they don't get the sun.”
