Things are so difficult for him.” So I called him，saying I didnt need his money.He was shocked! He couldnt believe it.He was so happy and later sent me a message of heartfelt gratitude.Another time，a second friend had no money to pay the rented house.The owner was going to throw his things out from the house the next day.And he only had an uncle who was sometimes helping him.His uncle had promised to send the money in three months.My friend called me and told me his trouble.It happened that the day before my father had given me some money for my monthly use.Knowing somehow that my friend needed that money more than I did，I gave it all to him for free.In life，its the small but powerful actions of love that matter.When life is over，thats what counts.Were love.Love unites us.Love is the key.1The writers first friend borrowed money from him again because _.Ahe had paid back the

where people like to be outside a lot.Now the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County is working to bring the indoors to the outdoors for its visitors.The museum has changed an outdoor space into a living exhibit.This is a big change for the one and a half hectare area.It used to include a parking lot.Now，instead of cars，it welcomes birds，butterflies and other living things.Teacher Eva Eng and her young students recently visited the museums outdoor campus.Ms.Eng says they enjoyed their experience.The children were learning about plant science in school.She said，“They really like handson_things，getting their hands in the mud，and planting seeds，watering them，watching them grow.”Scientists who work at the museum come outside to describe plants and insects in the natural setting of this outdoor laboratory.Greg Pauly specializes in studying turtles，like the western pond turtle.He tells the students how development has changed its natural habitat.He says these turtles are happiest around small bodies of water that grow and shrink with the seasons.Today，he says，there is a lot more permanent water，like a pond at the Natural History Museum itself.And he says the changing habitat is one reason why western pond turtles are shrinking in number.In addition to science lessons，the openair exhibit can provide contact with nature in a way that some city children rarely get.But only parts of the new outdoor campus are open now.But Karen Wise says more changes are coming.Ms.Wise is the museums vice president for education and exhibits.She said，“Now we are opening up the whole museum，making it an indooroutdoor experience，so that our visitors can be a part of the experience.” The work is expected to be completed by June of twentythirteen.Next year is the museums one hundredth anniversary.9Why does the author mention Eva Eng and her students visit to the museum?ATo show that the living exhibit is welcomed by the students.BTo prove that students in California like to play outside most.CTo tell us students can learn more there than that from class.DTo stress visiting the living exhibit does good to their health.答案A解析推理判断题。第三段伊娃英(Eva Eng)老师和她的小学生们最近参观了这家博物馆的户外园区。英女士说他们的这次经历非常愉快。孩子们在学校里正学植物科学。由此可知原文提及他们的目的是为了说明孩子们很喜欢这里，故本题选择A项。10What does the underlined phrase “handson things” in Paragraph 3 mean?AInteresting games by playing them in hands.BPractical experience by doing it themselves.CUseful courses provided by the museum.DImportant subjects learnt from the museum.答案B解析词义猜测题。根据下文的解释“getting their hands in the mud，and planting seeds，watering them，watching them grow”可知划线词的含义为亲自动手和实践能力，故本题选择B项。11What can we learn from the passage?AAll parts of the new outdoor campus arent open now.B2013 is a living exhibits one hundredth anniversary.CSome of the guiders in the living exhibit are scientists.DA living exhibit now has changed an outdoor laboratory.答案A解析细节理解题。根据最后一段“But only parts of the new outdoor campus are open now.”可知选项A与之对应，属于部分否定，意为：目前这个新的户外园区只有部分区域开放，故本题选择A项。12Where does this text probably come from?AA science textbook. BA museum guide.CA news report. DA tourist map.答案C解析本文主要描述了洛杉矶自然历史博物馆把展览从室内搬到室外供游客参观。由此可知这是属于新闻报道的范畴，故本题选择C项。DDo you know what to do if you see a bird with a broken wing in your backyard，or an injured bear by the side of the road? Use your phone!Its never a good idea to touch a wild animal or to try to help one without professional guidance.The animal might be dangerous to you，and you could cause further injury without meaning to.Thats why the wildliferescue organization Animal Watch has created a new mobile app.The app helps users find the right solutions for animals that need urgent care.AnimalHelpNow uses your phones GPS to find where the animal is located.Then the app asks questions about the animal: Is it wild or domestic (raised by humans)? Is it a pet or a farm animal? Could the animal put humans in danger? Based on the information from the app，AnimalHelpNow will suggest a care provider thats right for your situation.For wild animals，the app might suggest a nearby rescue facility that specializes in wounded wildlife.Or it might point you to registered caretakers who rehabilitate，or nurse back to health，animals that have been hurt in the wild.For pets or farm animals，the app lists the nearest veterinarians who care for the type of animal that has been injured.“The app is designed to work even when you dont have Internet access，” Animal Watch director Dave Crawford tells National Public Radio.“So whether youre driving through a remote area on the eastern plains，hiking a trail in Rocky Mountain National Park，or simply passing through a dead zone on your way to work，youll still be able to immediately find the help you need.” For now，AnimalHelpNow works only in Colorado，where Animal Watch is based.But the organization hopes to include information for users across the country.13What is the authors main purpose in writing the passage?ATo call on people to protect the wild animals.BTo introduce an app for helping injured animals.CTo guide the readers to use the phones properly.DTo give advice on how to save the injured animals.答案B解析写作意图题。根据第一段当你在院子里遇到翅膀受伤的鸟儿或在路上遇到受伤的熊的时候，请Use your phone！下文又进一步介绍了这种手机的具体功能，因此本文的主旨是介绍这种手机，故本题选择B项。14Why did the wildliferescue organization Animal Watch invent a new mobile?ABecause people without mobiles dont know how to save the injured.BBecause rescuing without professional guidance may do harm to both.CBecause phones play a more and more important part in peoples life.DBecause people can find any information to save the injured animals.答案B解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The animal might be dangerous to you，and you could cause further injury without meaning to.Thats why.”可知发明这种手机的原因在于受伤的动物会对施救者造成伤害，也可能会对受伤动物造成伤害，故本题选择B项。15Which of the following is the proper way to rescue the injured animals?ATo touch the injured as soon as you find them.BTo bring the injured to your home to look after.CTo ignore them rather than operate on them.DTo ask for professional advice with your app.答案D解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知遇到受伤的动物最好的办法是向专业人士求助，而不是立即施救，故本题选择D项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The English have the reputation of being very different from all other

seems embarrassed.You have only to witness a railway compartment(车厢) any morning or evening to see the truth.Seriouslooking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or sleeping lightly in a corner，and no one speaks.An Englishman once suggested to overseas visitors，“On entering a railway compartment，shake hands with all the passengers.”_18_It is well known that the English seldom show openly extremes of enthusiasm，emotion etc.Of course，an Englishman feels no less than any other nationality._19_A map of more emotional temperament(富有激情的性格) might describe her as “a wonderful jewel”，while the Englishman will flatly state “Um，shes all right.” An Englishman may recommend a highly successful and enjoyable film to friends by commenting，“Its not bad.”_20_They must realize that “all right”，“not bad” are very often used with the sense of “first class”，“excellent”This special use of language is particularly common in English.ANeedless to say，he was not being serious.BTo be honest，the Englishman is easygoing and friendly.CImagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl.DGenerally speaking，the Englishman is quiet，shy and reserved(缄默的)EPeople who visit England are sure that he or she is not interested in the film.FThe overseas visitors must not be disappointed by this obvious lack of interest.GIt is said that living on an island separated from the rest of
