Huckins lived in an area of Massachusetts where the state was trying to get rid of mosquitoes. They had used planes to spray (喷) a mixture of fuel oil and DDT (a pesticide, which can kill pests such as insects, weeds and rodents) all over the area around Huckins home. DDT was supposedly harmless but, the morning after the spraying, Huckins found several of her favorite birds dead outside her house. And the spraying did not even kill all of the mosquitoes; in fact, that summer there were more of them than ever before. Huckins asked Carson if she knew someone in Washington that could help prevent future spraying.Carson had been hearing about DDT since a Swiss chemist discovered it could be used to kill insects in 1939. To many people, DDT seemed like a miracle substance. Farmers were excited about saving their crops from pests. Doctors and others were excited about saving peoples lives by killing disease-carrying insects. But to Carson, DDT appeared to be dangerous to all living creatures.The more Carson found out about DDT and other pesticides, the more she realized that she needed to help stop future spraying. Carson decided to write a book about pesticides. She said, There would be no future peace for me if I kept silent. She called her bookSilent Spring.Carson had spent her life studying, observing, and writing about nature. She was a trained biologist and a talented writer who knew how to present scientific information in compelling stories. BeforeSilent Spring,she had written other books from the perspective of fish, birds, islands, and oceans. Carson knew that all things in nature exist in a delicately (微妙地) balanced ecosystem. InSilent Spring, Carson wrote that although the ecosystem can adjust to changes, it needs time. Carson believed that people in the 1950s were using pesticides carelessly. Nature didnt have time to adjust, wrote Carson, because so many pesticides had been used in such large quantities in such a short time.12. Why did Huckins write a letter to Rachel Carson?A. To tell her some bad news. B. To turn to her for help.C. To advise her to write a book. D. To ask her some questions.13. Which of the effects the spraying of the mixture in Massachusetts had is right?A. It killed pests such as insects, weeds and rodents around Huckins home.B. It killed all of the mosquitoes.C. It had bad effects on ecosystem.D. There were more birds than ever before.14. Who would not be happy with DDT?A. Gardeners. B. Farmers. C. Doctors. D. Biologists.15. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Rachel Carsonsresearch on natureB. Rachel Carsonslife C. Rachel CarsonsSilent SpringD. DDTs bad effects on ecosystem 【语篇解读】本文介绍了美国生物学家Rachel Carson关注农药对环境的影响，写了寂静的春天及其他书籍。12. B 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的Huckins asked Carson if she knew someone in Washington that could help prevent future spraying.可知，Huckins写信给 Rachel Carson是为了求助。13. C 【解析】推理判断题。根据DDT (a pesticide, which can kill pests such as insects, weeds and rodents)可知A项错误；根据第一段中的 the morning after the spraying, Huckins found several of her favorite birds dead outside her house.
