三、阅读理解(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
A
For the last two and a half years I have been giving out smile cards whenever I find an opportunity.
I am sad to admit that my family and I are homeless, living in a trailer (拖车) which was so kindly given by a family member. During this period, I have given out over 200 smile cards. I have always tried to find something kind to do, even when my husband lost his job and we were fighting to get by.
I have started giving out coupons (赠票) for free food and money for people to get at least one meal. I always put my coupon, gift and smile card in an envelope that says “For whoever finds this”.
Once I left an envelope on someone’s work truck and got back into our trailer. I just happened to look out at the truck later and I saw the guy open my envelope and find the gift. He read the card and then he looked around to see who had done this. I just smiled to myself, without being found out. I always leave my gifts where people can find them, but never see me do it — I like it to be anonymous.
Today I saw a car on the side of the highway with the hazard lights (危险信号灯) on. Further up the road, I saw a young couple walking beside the highway. I pulled over and asked them if they needed a ride to the next exit; after a second the guy said they could really use the ride. They said “thank you” when I dropped them off at the exit. I try to help others when I can, and sometimes no smile card is needed or given.
It’s my little “game of good” and I really enjoy doing it and I hope to keep doing it!

Empty lands in cities and towns around the United States are finding new life as urban farms.
Eco City Farms in Edmonston, Maryland, is located near shopping centers, car repair shops and homes. The neighborhood is a working-class community where people do not have very much money, and they have limited access to fresh food in markets.
Over the past two years, the farm has attracted lots of volunteers from the community like Mary Clark. She schools her four children at home. On a recent day she brought them to Eco City Farms for a lesson.
Mary Clark says, “It’s important that the children understand the connection between the food that they eat and the soil, the air and the pollution.” What did Hannah, Caleb, John and Alston think of the experience?
Hannah Clark, “You know, it’s good for the earth and it’s good for us.”
Caleb Clark, “It may not be like fun, but it’s fun, because you’re learning and not like writing something out on a piece of paper.”
John Clark, “Basically instead of feeling down when I have to eat vegetables, I feel happy.”
Alston Clark, “I like coming out here. You know, you connect with the earth, where your food comes from. You appreciate the food a little bit more.”
Margaret Morgan-Hubbard started Eco City Farms. She thinks of it as a place where people can learn to live healthier lives. She says, “Our view is that what happens in a community influences the culture of that community. So our idea was growing food in a community and showing that you can have farms even in urban areas.”

A dog which disappeared nine years ago has been found. Muffy is to be returned to her owners when she is fit to travel. The dirty white Muffy was discovered sleeping on a box of cardboard in Melbourne by officials from the RSPCA who were looking into a possible animal cruelty (虐待) case.
A microchip in her neck helped find her original (原来的) owners and after a few days of searching for the phone number, officials found Natalie Lampard, who had given up hope of seeing Muffy again since she went missing years ago.
“When the RSPCA described her, I told them her name; I knew immediately it was our Muffy,” Ms Lampard said. “It was totally out of the blue — after nine years, I thought she was long gone.”
The owners of the Melbourne house where Muffy was discovered said they found the dog about a year ago wandering along a street. But where Muffy spent the eight years and how she ended up in Melbourne is a mystery. RSPCA spokesman Tim Pilgrim said, “Nobody knows; the mystery continues for old Muffy.” The dog was suffering from a serious illness and had been having treatment since she was discovered.
The dog, which Lampard adopted (收养) from an RSPCA shelter near Brisbane, is recovering well and will fly back home next week. Ms Lampard got Muffy as a gift for her now 17-year-old daughter Chloe, and the two had been inseparable (不能分开的).
“After the RSPCA called, I rang my daughter and asked her if she was sitting down, then told her they’d found Muffy,” she said. “She is over the moon and there’ll be a few tears shed when they see each other again.”
43. We can learn from the first paragraph that the RSPCA is 　　　.
A. a place where many animals are kept
B. the police station that catches thieves
C. the government that serves the citizens

My friend Brett had just gotten a dirt bike (泥土路摩托车) and a lot of other kids in my neighborhood knew how to ride. I also wanted to, but I didn’t even know the difference between the clutch (离合器) and the front brake. All the guys told me I couldn’t do it because I was a girl. I was determined to prove them wrong, so Brett let me try his bike. I wasn’t on for one minute before I fell off. He came over to see if I was okay, but then started laughing. I felt like running somewhere I wouldn’t be laughed at.
That night I told my dad the whole story about how I wanted to be as good as the guys and how I had embarrassed myself. He asked how much I really wanted to learn, then I told him I had wanted to ride for a year and it was everything I dreamed about.
A few days later my dad told me he’d found a nice bike for a reasonable price. He brought it home and that was when I became the laughing stock of the neighborhood. All the guys thought it was a joke that I actually wanted to learn how to ride and I became known as a wannabe (模仿偶像者).
We took it one step at a time. My dad spent four long weeks teaching me everything I needed to know about the bike and the basics of riding. No one truly believed I could learn to ride except my dad. Day after day and night after night he worked with me, and I began to progress. I was so thankful. It meant so much that he would take time from his busy schedule to help me fulfill this dream.
Each ride on my dirt bike I got a little better, and finally I was ready for my first time on the trails. At first I couldn’t keep up and the boys had to wait for me. My bike constantly stalled and got stuck in the muddy creeks.
Things eventually got easier, as if I could ride with my eyes closed. Every time I rode on the trails I got a little better and the guys didn’t have to wait for me. I was still made fun of, not because I was an amateur or not good, but instead because they felt threatened that a girl could do what they did.
I cannot even remember how many nights I spent crying when I had lost my confidence because of those boys. Every time I needed a shoulder to cry on, my dad was there. He never let me give up and always had faith in me, even if I couldn’t do something right.
47. Why does the author write the passage?
A. To show the difficulty in riding a dirt bike.
B. To prove that girls can do whatever boys can.
C. To thank her father for his trust and support.
D. To share her experience in riding a dirt bike.
48. Brett let the author try his bike because 　　　.
A. he was sorry for laughing at her
B. he felt her strong determination
C. he was the kindest boy in the group
