2．I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters.Seeing what Mother was doing，I thought that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
My mother was a kind person，who always showed her love on me in action.However，as a little girl，I only wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.But such talks never happened.I was sad about it and often rude to her，eager to start a new life somewhere else.
When I had my own family，I came to understand mother's love.So I wrote to mother and asked if she'd forgiven my rudeness.Then，I posted the letter and waited for her answer，but it never came.I felt disappointed and slowly didn't care too much about it.
Years later，during mother's final illness，she left some things for my sister and brother. "But the desk，" she said in a weak voice， "is specially for Elizabeth." When I cleaned the desk---her present for me，I found a one-page letter inside，folded many times.It was the letter that I wrote years ago.
Then，tears came down， "Oh，dear mom，you've chosen the silent act to show you did forgive me and always be proud of my writing.Thank you for your silent love.I love you forever!"

A．Arm-in-arm walks with her mother.

3．The best and most-commonly used sources for the pills we have are oily fish like salmon（畦），mackerel and sardines.Many environmentalists fear that some species are being over fished for this purpose.We may have an endless voracity for fish oil，but we don't have an endless supply of fish.
Menhaden，which is described as "a big-headed，smelly，foot-long fish"，is in great danger.Although prized for dinner in the 18th century，the species has become the unknown victim of the fish oil business，which presents us with potential sea fish.Menhaden filter-feed almost entirely on algae （海藻）and is especially good at changing it into-3 fatty acids，which make them a good target for fish oil companies.
One particular company，Protein of Houston，has been fishing 90 percent of the country's menhaden.It's become such a big problem that 13 of the 15 Atlantic states have banned the company's boats from their waters.Yet the company is still allowed to fish in North Carolina and Virginia，as well as federal waters；the company's efforts result in the removing of half a billion menhaden every year.
Aside from running out a public natural resource for a company's private profit，the damage to the ecosystem is cause for alarm.The muddy brown color of the Long Island Sound is the direct result of lacking water nitration （過濾）一a job that was once done by menhaden.
Menhaden keep the ocean waters of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts clean.A menhaden filters four to six gallons of water of algae in a minute，which prevents underwater dead zones.
Measures should be taken to avoid the over fished situation.Plant seeds such as flax seed，chia seeds，hemp seeds，and sesame seeds - and particularly their oils - are good vegetarian sources of omega-3 fatty acids，although the mix of specific acids is different from which one can get with fish.
（1）Why does menhaden become a good fish for companies to make pills？
A．It is good at forming-3 fatty acids.
B．It feeds mainly on the harmful algae.
C．It is well-known for its rich protein.
D．It is relatively easy for companies to catch.
（2）What does the underlined word "voracity" in paragraph 1 mean？
A．trouble
B．shortage
C．resource
D．a(chǎn)ppetite
（3）What does the author intend to suggest us in the last paragraph？
A．To grow more plants for their seeds to make oil.
B．To use some substitutes instead of more fish oil.
C．To call on the government to make laws in fishing.
D．To take part in more activities to protect the environment.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．The broken natural ecosystem.
B．The process of making fish oil.
C．Bad effects of fish oil making.
D．How to use natural resources.組卷：11引用：1難度：0.5

As Andrea turned off the motorway onto the road to Brockbourne，it was four in the afternoon，At this time in December，it would be completely dark by five.
She was just coming out of the little village of Mickley when she saw the old lady，standing by the road，with a hand-written sign saying "Brockhourne" in her hand.Andrea was surprised.She had never seen an old lady hitchhiking （搭順風車） before.Normally，Andrea would never pick up a hitchhiker when she was alone，thinking it was too dangerous.But what was the harm in doing a favor for a little old lady like this？Andrea pulled up a little way down the road，and the lady，holding a big bag，hurried to the car.
When she did get in，Andrea could see that she was not，in fact，so little.Broad and fat，the old lady had some difficulty climbing in through the car door.She wore a long old dress，and she had a yellow hat pulled down low over her eyes.She pushed her big brown bad down onto the floor under her feet，and said in a voice which was almost a whisper， "Thank you dearie-I'm just going to Brockbourne."
"Do you live there？" asked Andrea.
"No，dear，" answered the passenger，in her soft voice， "I'm just going to visit a friend.He was supposed to meet me back there at Mickley，but his car won't start，so I decided to hitchhike-there isn't a bus until seven."
Something in the way the lady spoke，and the way she never turned her head，made Andrea uneasy about this strange hitchhiker.She felt instinctively that there was something dangerous.But how could an old lady be dangerous？It was absurd.
Careful not to turn her head，Andrea looked sideways at her passenger.She studied the hat，the dress，the shapeless body，the arms with their thick black hairs.
Hairy arms？Andrea's blood froze.This wasn't a woman.It was a man.A robber's face in the news flashed in her mind.
