time答案与解析：经济危机发生以后，丈夫的失业使作者的家庭生活发生了变化。丈夫常常因找不到工作而自责，这时作者就安慰他。面临困境，他们能够互相体谅、安慰，虽然他们没有找到工作，但是他们感觉在精神上更富有了。1a猜测句意题。结合语境可知，在丈夫找工作遭遇挫折的时候，妻子与他齐心协力、渡过难关。可见the more we pulled together, the closer we got的含义是：我们越是团结在一起，我们的心就越靠近对方。2b推理判断题。根据第二段的前两句可知：他们对失业都很担心。故选b项。其他三项与文中内容不符。3c推理判断题。结合文章的内容可知，丈夫失业以后，作者家的生活比以前艰难，但是他们感受到了一种强烈的爱，所以在心灵深处更加温暖，用hard but warm描述作者一家现在的生活最合适。4b主旨大意题。本文一开始谈到丈夫失业以后，“作者的家庭生活发生了变化。虽然多次找工作未果，但是他们更团结了，也更看重对方了。从感情方面来说他们又找回了(we find it again)久违的那种情感。we find it again为双关语，既与文中谈到的工作的话题重合，又暗示他们又找到了(幸福感)，最适合作本文标题。 (201*海淀期末)my best enemy once again, i was in a new school. so was a girl in my class named lisa. thats where the similarity ended. i was tall and she was small. my thick black hair had been recently cut short into an untidy style. her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. i was 12 and one of the oldest in the class while she was 11 and the youngest. i was awkward and shy. she wasnt. i couldnt stand her, considering her my enemy. but she liked me and wanted to be friends with me. one day, she invited me over and i said yesi was too shocked to answer any other way. my family had moved six times in six years, and i had never managed to develop any friendships. but this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school. she lived in a fun part of town that had two pizza places, an allnight bookstore, a movie theater and a park. as we walked from the school bus stop through her neighborhood, i tried to guess which house might be hers. was it the white one with the perfect lawn or the threestory house with a front porch? i got very surprised when she led me into an old apartment building. she lived on the fourth floor in a tworoom place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister. when we got into the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of barbies, which was my next surprise. i had never played with them. we sat on the floor, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the barbies. we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and both had wild imaginations. we had a great time that afternoon. lisa was loved by the whole neighborhood. the bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines; the movie theater gave her free tickets. soon i was included in her magic world. we slept over at

has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the african elephant is divided into two distinct(不同的) species.the discovery was made by researchers at york and harvard universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephantsthe asian elephant, african forest elephant, and african savanna elephant.once they obtained dna sequences (序列)from two fossils (化石), mammoths and mastodons, the team compared them with dna from modern elephants. they found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as asian elephants and mammoths.the scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the african savanna elephant and the african forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years. the divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of asian elephants and woolly mammoths. this result amazed all the scientists.there has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species, but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.previously, many naturalists believed that african savanna elephants and african forest elephants were two populations of the same species, despite the elephants significant size differences. the savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5 metres. the savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. but the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. however the proof lay in the analysis of the dna.alfred roca, assistant professor in the department of animal sciences at the university of illinois, said, “we now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purposes. since 1950, all african elephants have been conserved as one species. now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinctive animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority (优先) for conservation purposes.”本文讲述了一项新的科学发现：通过对非洲森林大象和非洲草原大象dna的鉴定，科学家们得出结论：它们是两种不同的物种。我们要保护这些珍稀动物。12one of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of _athe asian elephant bthe forest elephant cthe
