I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) word to anyone or about anyone. Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Bens beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard. Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food fest”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didnt know what was about to take place. By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five oclock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty（收成）of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift! Well, the point wasnt so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one anothers company. None of it would have happened if it had not been for Happy and Bens garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!21.

Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular form is to take part in sports. There are team sports, such as basketball and football; There are also individual (个人的) sports, such as swimming and running. Skating and mountain climbing are the most popular recreation for people who like to be outdoor. Not everyone who enjoys sports likes to take part in them. Many people like watching them on TV or listening to them on the radio. So many people like some forms of indoor recreation, such as watching TV, singing and dancing. It doesnt matter whether we like indoor recreation or take part in outdoor sports. It is important for everyone to relax from time to time, and enjoy some forms of recreation.29Which is the most popular form of recreation according to this text?ASports. BWatching TV. CSleeping. DSinging and dancing.30People want to take part in sports in order to _.Akeep healthy and enjoy life Bmake friendsCfind a good job Dmake more money31Outdoor sports include _.Awatching TV Bsinging and dancingClistening to the radio Dskating and mountain climbing32The passage mainly tells us that _.Abasketball is a kind of team sportBeveryone who enjoys sports should take part in themCdifferent people have different ways of relaxingDindoor recreation is not as important as outdoor sportsDYou may not be aware, but digital currency (货币) is a big part of the Internet world. QQ Coins can buy you accessories (配饰) for your QQ images. More importantly, a new digital currency, Bitcoin, is bringing the worlds commerce online. If youre traveling, you can spend Bitcoins at restaurants and hotels listed at BitcoinT. In China, Bitcoins can be used to buy goods at about 134 online shops on Taobao. And at a caf named 2ndPlace in Beijing, you can even buy fresh coffee with Bitcoins. So what makes Bitcoin so attractive to investors? First of all, the Bitcoin system is not controlled by anyone. One central authority cannot make policies to change the value of Bitcoins. The fixed amount of Bitcoins also means they cannot lose value through inflation(通货膨胀), as all forms of paper money have done over time. In addition, accounts in the Bitcoin system are anonymous and transparent. Users can set up an account easily and track every Bitcoin. All of these features seem to make Bitcoins immune(有免疫力的) from loss, but that is not entirely true. “The value of Bitcoins can vary wildly as no central government makes the price of them steady. If the value drops suddenly, investors cannot get any compensation(赔偿),” Zhao Qingming, a senior researcher at China Construction Bank, told China Economic Weekly. And Bitcoins, unlike company shares, are not backed by any tangible assets（有形资产）, which also adds to their risk. While China will not recognize the digital currency anytime soon, Xinhua said, lawmakers and officials at a hearing on Nov. 18 in the US made positive comments about Bitcoin. Ben Bernanke, outgoing chairman of the Federal Reserve, told the Washington Post that “these types of creations, such as Bitcoin may hold long-term promise, particularly if its system promote a faster, more secure and more efficient payment system.”33. Bitcoin is _.A. actually exactly like QQ Coins B. only used onlineC. a new currency used both online and in real life D. a countrys new digital currency.34. We can use Bitcoin to buy the following things except _.Aonline goods Bgoods at 134 online shops on TaobaoCbooks in physical shops Dcoffee at a caf named 2nd Place35. What is the disadvantage of Bitcoin?Athe value of it can rise and fall wildly.BIt cannot lose value through inflation.CEvery bitcoin in your account can be followed.DIt can even be used at some specific restaurants and hotels.第二节：（共5小题; 每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile-zone, when a police car came behind him with the light on. 36 _As the policeman came to him, he said, Hi, officer, I guess you caught me a little bit over the limit.
