D

I have a neighbor we call “Happy”．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 Ben's 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 didn't 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 o'clock, 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 wasn't so much about the food．The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another's company．None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben's 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!

A．don't like spending time with others

B．sometimes quarrel with each other

C．live on the food they grow in their garden

D．a(chǎn)re a generous and warm-hearted couple

A．they didn't have to spend so much money on food

C．they could invite their neighbors and hold parties in it

D．they could spend happy times together with their family in it

3.For what purpose did Happy and Ben invite the neighbors to their garden?

A．To ask them to attend a birthday party

B．To help them get to know each other．

C．To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden．

D．To ask them to share some interesting stories．

4.What did the writer most probably think of the time he spent in the garden?

Every year seals would crowd ashore in Farne Island and give birth to their pups. Between early October and early December, 1,500 seal pups will be born. Almost half of them will not make it past the first three weeks of life.

“The pups have to stay out of the water for the first three weeks, when they have their white coat, which is not very waterproof,” explains the warden (監(jiān)察員)，who spends nine months on the Island.

“But when you’re born in November on a rock in the North Sea, it’s a tough start to life,” he said. Storms often wash young pups into the water. And occasionally, young, inexperienced mothers abandon their pups and head out to sea.

“We lost 41% last year,” said David Steel, the National Trust’s head warden on the Farne Islands. “Mother Nature certainly keeps them in check.”

Despite the early challenges for every newborn seal, the population is healthily and slowly and steadily growing. There are almost 4,000 seals on a set of islands, which is named a Special Area of Conservation(SAC), meaning it is protected under EU regulations. This successful human safeguarding of the seals’ habitat is huge turnaround(轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)).

Just a few decades ago, the seal population was deliberately decimated. The animals used to be thought of as a threat to local fish stocks. During the late 1960s and 1970s, thousands of seals were shot in a cull(剔除)that aimed to protect the local fishing industry. According to the National Trust, between 1962 and 1983 approximately 2,000 adult females and 3,000 pups were shot.

But, as the fishing industry collapsed, it was gradually replaced by tourism. Today, several companies use fishing boats to take groups of people to visit the islands and admire the scenery, seabirds and, of course, the seals that make their homes in this bleakly beautiful place.

1.In the first three weeks after they were born, almost half of the seal pups _______.

A. would be abandoned by their mothers

B. would be protected by the wardens

C. couldn’t live independently

D. would die mostly in the sea water.

2.According to David Steel, death of so many pups________.

A. is a normal and natural phenomenon

B. is mainly caused by farmers’ killing

C. can be prevented efficiently by man

D. will be controlled by Mother Nature

3.The underlined word “decimate” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ?____?.

A. increase B. kill C. reduce D. control

4.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. The Beautiful Farne Island

B. A Tough Beginning

C. How to Protect Grey Seals

D. Tourism or Fishing Industry

Last week I paid a visit to my former neighbor, Mr. Smith. He and I are used to live next to each other. About half a year ago, an order came which the old building, along with many other similar ones, were going to be pulled down to make room for the main street. So they had to move apart. Mr. Smith now lived in the suburb near a beautiful park. His apartment is much big than before. The only problem is that it takes quit a long time get to the downtown. Therefore, Mr. Smith doesn’t seem to worry about a long distance. A new subway line will be built in a few year and he is sure that life will be better in the future.
