Time passed and in October，as part of the kindness rock give （送愛心石活動(dòng)），Maureen and I（45）D to place a kindness rock in their garden．Their （46）B remained unchanged，however，and I continued to be as friendly as possible．During the Easter give，we decided once again to （47）A these two unhappy ladies to our list and left a packet of cookies on their（48）C．Imagine my （49）C when two days later they （50）B at my gate and jokingly said they are considering hanging their Christmas stocking on their gate，and they （51）A me a bunch of flowers!
So，my fellow gifters，do not （52）Don your random gifts of kindness．You may never know just what this （53）B to others，nor how many broken or （54）C hearted people you may just change with a simple act of （55）D．

36．選A．根據(jù)上文They are totally separated （她們完全與別人隔離了） 可知她們不與任何人來往．
37．選B．由上文的"living in my community生活在我的社區(qū)"和"mixing with nobody不與任何人交往"判斷不與"neighbors鄰居"打招呼，acknowledgement 意為"致意；打招呼"，故答案選擇B． 
38．選C．本題考查動(dòng)詞辨析．composing 作曲；requesting 請(qǐng)求；reporting 報(bào)告；explaining 解析．根據(jù)music played too loud，dogs barking…等信息可知她們向當(dāng)?shù)鼐址从城闆r，故用reporting．
39．選D．本題考查形容詞辨析；由上文可知，作者認(rèn)為這對(duì)母女是令人討厭的，故判斷這者認(rèn)為不必報(bào)告給警察這些"小事"，所以答案選擇D．

9．The canopy，the upper level of the trees in the rain forest，holds too much of climbing mammals （哺乳動(dòng)物） of moderately large size，which may include monkeys，cats，civets，and porcupines．Smaller species，including such as nice and small squirrels，are not as common overall in high tropical canopies as they are in most habitats globally．
Small mammals，being warm blooded，suffer hardship in the exposed and uncertain environment of the uppermost trees．Because a small body has more surface area per unit of weight than a large one of similar shape，it gains or loses heat more rapidly．Thus，in the trees，where protection from heat and cold may be scarce and conditions may be changeable，a small mammal may have trouble maintaining its body temperature．
Small size makes it easy to scramble among twigs （嫩枝） and branches in the canopy for insects，flowers，or fruit，but small mammals are defeated，in the competition for food，by large ones that have their own strategies for browsing among tbod-rich twigs．The weight of
an ape hanging below a branch draws the leaves down so that fruit-bearing leaves drop toward the ape's face．Walking or leaping species of a similar or even larger size access the outer twigs either by breaking and gaining the whole branch or by catching hold of hard branches with the feet or tail and picking food with their hands．
Small climbing animals may reach twigs readily，but it is harder for them than for large climbing animals to cross the wide gaps from one tree top to the next that typify the high canopy．A gibbon can hurl itself farther than a mouse can：it can achieve a running start，and it can more effectively use a branch as a springboard （跳板）．The forward movement of a small animal is seriously reduced by the air friction （摩擦） against the relatively large surface area of its body．

68．Which of the following questions does the passage answer？D
A．How is the rain forest different from other habitats？
B．How does an animal's body size influence an animal's need for food？
C．Why does rain forest provide an unusual variety of food for animals？
D．Why do large animals tend to dominate the upper canopy of the rain forest？
69．According to paragraph 2，which of the following is true about the small mammals in the rain forest？C
A．They have body shapes that are adapted to life in the canopy．
B．They prefer the temperature and climate of the canopy to that of other environments．
C．They have difficulty with the changing conditions in the canopy．
D．They use the trees of the canopy for protection from heat and cold．
70．When discussing animal size in paragraph 3，the author indicates thatB
A．small animals require appropriately more food than larger animals do
B．a(chǎn) large animal's size is an advantage in obtaining food in the canopy
C．small animals are often attacked by larger animals in the rain forest
D．small animals and large animals are equally good at obtaining food in the canopy
71．According to the last paragraph，what makes jumping from one tree crown to another difficult for small mammals？A
A．Air friction against the body surface．
B．The thickness of the branches．
C．The dense leaves of the tree top．
D．The inability to use the front feet as hands．

13．In her outstanding book，"Choose the Happiness Habit"，Pam Golden wrote，"Take the story of two twin brothers for example．One grew up and became an alcoholic （酒鬼），while the other became a successful businessman．When the alcoholic was asked why he became an alcoholic，he replied，"Because my father was a drunk．"However，the successful businessman's answer was also"Because my father was a drunk．"when asked why he succeeded．The same background．The same upbringing （培養(yǎng)）．However，the results were quite different．Why？The reason is that they had different choices．The brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they found themselves in at last，so they had different experiences．
There was a time in my life when I thought difficulty was due to"bad luck"．Have you ever heard the saying"When it rains，it pours"？That was my answer when others asked me how things were going on when I was in trouble．So what do you think I got？"RAIN"．More and more"RAIN"．I couldn't understand why bad luck was always with me．
Pam Golden says，"You're either living in the problem or you're living in the solution．"Now，when I'm faced with what I used to think was a negative （消極的） situation，I use a different way to think about it．I force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely．Sometimes I write down some ideas that may be a solution，which I combine with the lessons I have learned from the bad situations and the difficulties that troubled me in the past，and often，I find a solution to the problem soon．It seems that I should thank the difficulty I met with．The RAIN that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable experience，from which I can benefit．
Now，it doesn't"rain"as much in my life as it used to．In fact，most days are beautiful，cloudless and sunny!Sometimes I do get a rain，but I think it makes me stronger just like the rain helps plants grow up．
56．The example of the twin brothers shows thatA．
A．making good choices is the most important  
B．education decides a person's future
C．upbringing makes a big difference          
D．it is luck that leads to success
57．What does"RAIN"mentioned in the second paragraph refer to？D
A．Water
B．Good luck
C．Success
D．Difficulty．
58．What is talked about in the third paragraph？B
A．How the author collects useful experience．
B．How the author deals with difficulty now．
C．How the author gets help from others．
D．How the author lives in the problem．
59．Now，the author's attitude towards"RAIN"isC．
A．negative         B．unclear              C．positive              D．unknown
60．Which of the following agrees with the author's attitude in the text？B
A．All things are difficult before they are easy．
B．Meeting with difficulty is not a bad thing．
C．Misfortunes tell us what fortune is．
D．Things at the worst will mend．
