We started out in a great morning and were heading over the mountain range to Ellensburg. We stopped at Snoqualmie summit for a quick rest. About a mile from there, we heard a loud sound and thought we might hit a rock. However, we were wrong.
As we were turning into the rest area, we heard a loud banging sound again, and all I could do was get this car pulled over and stopped. Once we got stopped, and tire pulled off, we found that the bolt （螺栓），which is necessary for the brake to work, had been missing. Had I hit the brake with any more speed, I am sure the car would have turned over and we could have all been killed.
The first thing we needed to do was get a new bolt, so my husband went to get a cup of coffee and to ask whether there would be an auto parts store. They told him where, and then he came back to find we had no way to get there. That was when the Angel showed her wings! One of the coffee volunteers was getting off her shift and offered to take him to the auto parts store. So this angel took him to Ellensburg to get the part, only to find out that it was the wrong part. So she came back to see if everything fit and sure enough, she offered to take him to the hardware store in town to see if they could find this bolt!
She spent well over 4 hours with us, driving us around to help fix our car and protect us until we were safe. She even followed us for a short time on the freeway until she knew we were well on our way safely. We were blessed that day, and when I told her she was an angel she just said we would do the same thing, and she was right, I would and I will again!
1.What actually happened when the writer heard the loud sound at the first time?
A. The car hit a rock and its tires were broken.
B. The car pulled over because of the steep road.
C. The brake couldn’t work because of the lost bolt.
D. The car turned over because the bolt was missing.
2.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 3?
A. The author wished someone would help them.
B. Someone appeared to give them what they needed.
C. Someone transported them to the right place.
D. Someone appeared at that time to help them.
3.Which of the following words can best describe the volunteer?
A. Kindhearted and patient.
B. Humorous and helpful.
C. Patient and humorous.
D. Helpful and funny.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. An angel in the mountains!
B. A terrible accident in the mountains!
C. An unusual situation in the mountains!
D. An unbelievable sound in the mountains!

根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
What would you think if someone suggested knocking down St Paul’s cathedral to widen the road,or pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It’d be ridiculous,right? But when it comes to devastation(毁灭)of the natural world,we aren’t so easily shocked.But we should be...or we’ll be in a lot of trouble!
Nature is shrinking by the day.Ancient forests are destroyed.Wetlands are becoming dry.Woodland is disappearing,all in the name of progress.This is bad in itself,but it’s devastating for biodiversity.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants,animals and other living things which are all inter-connected.The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life.The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis(光合作用)by green plants.In fact,all life on earth exists thanks to the benefit of biodiversity.More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species.And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals.Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.
The loss of biodiversity could be devastating.“It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edward O Wilson,known as “the father of biodiversity”.He warned,“We are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will be unavoidable.”
But what can we do? The problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague.People might care about giant pandas,but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines.The Guardian newspaper is trying to help.It has started the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity.This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to change the decrease in the sea-life caused by industrial fishing,stopping fishing sharks by the Japanese fishermen and banning the killing of dingoes in Australia,among many other things.
There is a lot to do.And we’d better act quickly if we don’t want to end up with a planet that can’t support life!
1.What does the author think of pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park?
A.Unreasonable. B.Necessary.
C.Difficult. D.Urgent.
2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Nature is badly polluted by humans.
B.Species are becoming fewer and fewer day by day.
C.Rainforests are being cut down every day.
D.Nature is full of mysteries to humans.
3.Edward O Wilson believes that .
A.it doesn’t matter to decrease the biodiversity
B.people have done enough to preserve biodiversity
C.the situation of biodiversity is very serious
D.biodiversity loss has been unavoidable
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Plenty of marine reserves have been set up in the world.
B.Fishing sharks is illegal around the world.
C.It’s harmful to catch tiny organisms in the river.
D.The Guardian newspaper has done a lot for biodiversity.

One day I was in the back yard teaching my little nephew how to play football. He said that play football was something easier. His words immediately bring back memories of my childhood. As a little boy, I told my uncle I wanted to become football star like him. However, he taught me how to kick the ball. After some practice, I told him it was hardly for me to kick the ball the way he kicked them. He talked to me about not giving up on how I really wanted to do. Thank to his guidance and encouragement, and I’ve become a football star in my school.
