People in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars. The city is very large, and its public transportation is slow. So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.
Devon Fitzgerald says he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. “A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety.” Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. “It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking.”
Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident. "
To make bicycling safer, some people who live and work near each other are riding to work together, which they call a "bike train". Nona Varnado helped create the group L. A. Bike Trains. "You're in a big group. If you're afraid of riding alone, you can now ride with experienced riders. " Nona said that people would feel safer by riding together in a group.

I still remembered my first day of second grade. I was led to a room. No teacher yet. Girls talking. Boys trying to kill each other.
I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.
“What’re you doing?” she said.
“Writing to 100,” I replied.
“Is that you can do?”
“No,” I said.
23
Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener. I had no idea that when I stood, the desk would fall over and hurt her leg.
Her name was Jane. From that day on--she was my best friend. Wherever we went--to school or church or basketball games, Jane saved me a seat or I saved one for her.
Many years later, after college, I moved to California and married. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50 years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.
TV ads try to tell us what children need for school—new shoes, clothes, backpacks. But really, children’s needs are simple. Besides the basics—to be fed, cared for, and loved—they need the gift of friendship.
For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I finally understood. I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.
My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and received a prize for “Friendship”. Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know that they have all they need and the best way to win friends is to be one.
40. When she came into the classroom, the writer ________.
A. went to talk with Jane quickly
B. helped Jane write the numbers to 100
C. worked quietly at her desk alone
D. was afraid that others would fight with her
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。由第二段I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.我拿了一些纸和一只铅笔，找了张桌子，然后开始写字。几分钟后，一个女孩走了过来然后坐在我桌子上。可知，作者没有别的小伙伴，而且安静地自己在写字。故选C。
41. From the passage we know that__________.
A. the writer's leg was hurt on the first day of school
B. the two girls were close friends until Jane died
23
C. Jane often helped the writer to do some social work
D. the two girls stayed in the same city after college
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。由Her name was Jane. From that day on--she was my best friend.她叫简，从那天开始，她就成了我最好的朋友；We were friends for more than 50 years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often,我们成为朋友到现在已经五十年了，在她去时后的七年，我还是经常想起她。可知，直到简去世，我们都一直都是朋友。故选B。
42. Henry received a prize for "Friendship" probably because _________.
A. he was kind to others B. he was smart at his schoolwork
C. he was loved by his grandma D. he joined in the Olympics
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。由I finally understood. I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind. 最后我想明白了，我不需要很聪明，或很漂亮，或十分受欢迎，我只需要与人为善；Henry赢得了友谊，是因为他待人和善。故选A。
43.The best title of this article would be__________.
A. My Best Friend Jane B. How to Choose Friends
C. My First Day at School D. Friendship Values
【答案】D
【解析】主旨归纳题。作者由与自己最好的朋友Jane的故事引出了自己对友谊的感想，由children’s needs are simple. Besides the basics—to be fed, cared for, and loved—they need the gift of friendship.孩子们的需要很简单，除了一些基本需求——吃饱穿暖，被照顾，被爱——他们需要友谊。以及最后一段可知，作者认为友谊对孩子们十分重要，文章中心意思是阐述了友谊的价值，故选D。
C
The winter of 1948 was very difficult for our family of eight living in Knoxvile, Tennessee. Unfortunately, Dad became ill and soon was out of a job. I was only 8 years old and my younger brother, Buddy was 7. After school we went to pick coal(煤) that fell from the coal train along the railroad near our home. When the train slowed down, we ran alongside it. After the train passed, we picked up the fallen coal.
23
One day, the train stopped for a short time unusually. My brother and I were digging around in the snow when the train’s fireman came to the window and shouted to us, “Why are you boys digging in the snow? Are you looking for gold?” he laughed.
“No, sir,” I replied, “We are finding coal.”
“Why doesn’t your daddy buy coal? It’s really dangerous here.”
“Our daddy is very sick and we have no money to buy food and coal,” I answered.
The fireman turned and went inside. After a moment, he shouted again. “Hey! Bring that coal bucket(桶子) here. I got something for you.” Then the fireman filled our bucket with clean coal. We were happy with his gift, and we knew we could go home early that day.
He smiled the kindest and warmest smile I had ever seen. “You two boys come here the day after tomorrow and I’ll throw off some coal.”
Two days later, Buddy and I stood by the railroads as the train slowed down. The fireman waved to us, then disappeared. Suddenly, some coal and a piece of red cloth came out. In the red cloth were two pieces of bubble gum(泡泡糖) and a new one-dollar bill.
All that winter, three days a week, we received a bucket of coal, a gift and, sometimes, money. I never knew the person’s full name, but to our family, he was a guardian angel.

【答案】48-52 BEDAC
【解析】48.由下文He goes to school, does his homework, meets his friends and enjoys playing sports他去上学，做作业，和朋友相见并喜欢运动，可知，这些都是普通学生会做的事，所以Tom像其他青少年一样，做着这些事情。故选B。
49.由下文Maths and English are important, of course but they need other skills too to help them in today’s world.数学和英语固然重要，但是在如今重要的世界，他们需要一些别的技能来帮助他们生活。可知，此处指的是他认为青少年学会煮饭也是很重要的，故选E。

50.由上文First I taught Tom how to cook easy meals like pizza or egg and chips一开始，我叫Tom学做一些简单的食物如披萨或鸡蛋和薯条，可知，下一句应该是Tom进一步学习烹饪，所以他开始看一些菜谱，故选D。
51.由下文I don’t know why, it isn’t difficult and it’s great fun!” Tom says. “我不知道为什么，煮饭不仅不困难，还充满了乐趣。”所以这里应该是说，Tom的朋友都不会煮饭，Tom表示不能理解，因为他认为做饭是很有趣的一件事，故选A。
52.由上文In the past, Tom didn’t help out at home and his mum wasn’t pleased with him.以前，Tom在家并不帮忙，他的妈妈也不喜欢他这样。所以此处应表达的是和以前相反的情况，Tom进步了，妈妈也感到非常高兴。故选C。
