25、0 分）AAt first, Rhonda Tormaschy thought her 16-year-old daughter, Cassidy, was joking about opening up an ice cream truck. “We were sitting around one night with her and one of her friends and this is what she approached us with and we kind of thought she wasnt serious at first,” Rhonda said.But las
26、t fall her husband, Chad, started looking for some type of truck, and they found an old school bus in Lincoln, Oregon.The family spent the winter fixing the bus, painting it and transforming it into Ice Cream Express. In order to turn the small, old school bus into an ice cream truck, the family put
27、 in a freezer, fridge and sink.“Getting it together was kind of an experience for all of us,” Rhonda said. “We had to go through the health inspector, we had to get signatures from the police department and the fire department.”“The community needed something to lighten up their day and make their d
28、ay better,” Cassidy said. “I thought that this would be a good way to help everybody through their day.”She visits local businesses at a set time every Thursday and plans to hit up neighborhoods and parks in the evening, as well as serving ice cream at other summer events.Ice Cream Express serves Sc
29、hwans products. “Its quite a variety,” Cassidy said. “We have everything from the sundae cones to the sandwiches and Italian ice-just about anything.”Now that the truck is up and running, Cassidy hopes her younger sisters will take it over when she leaves for college.“We have a daughter thats going
30、to be 13 here and that would be a perfect time for her to take it over in the next couple of years-if she wants to,” Rhonda said. “If she doesnt want to , I think I would probably continue it if its still a want and a need in Dickinson.”So far, the reception to Ice Cream Express has been amazing, Rh
31、onda said.“We havent had an ice cream bus in this town for years,” Rhonda said. “I think its gone over way better than we anticipated it to, which is great.”51. What did Cassidys family have to do to get the ice cream truck prepared?a. Change the engine. b. Paint advertisements on it.c. Put in neces
32、sary appliances. d. Get approved by the authorities.A. c d B. b d C. b c D. a b52. Why did Cassidy decide to serve ice cream?A. To do something special with her friends. B. To obtain some business experience.C. To bring happiness to her neighborhood. D. To earn more money for her college fees.53. Wh

A. an essay B. a news report C. a biography D. an advertisementBBritain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be
34、 crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary of the signing of a friendship agreement called The Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries fo
35、llowing centuries of wars and a love-hate partnership.But their relationship has seen ups and downs over the past century. Just a few years ago, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out ag
36、ainst it. This discomfort was expressed in Blair and Chiracs body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greeted German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug, Blair just received a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped t
37、ies.The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesnt stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year, despite only 3 million French going in the opposite direction. Surveys show that most French people feel clos
38、er to the Germans than they do to the British. And research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike Frances close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy
39、 with Britains close links with the US.Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of a “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Heres one: Whats the best thing about Britains relationship with France? The English Channel.55. What is the article mai
40、nly about?A. A new chance for Britain and France to grow closer.B. How British and French people talk to each other.C. The wars between Britain and France throughout history.D. The love-hate relationship between Britain and France.56. The war in Iraq the relationship between France and Britain.A. he
41、lped B. harmed C. neither helped nor harmed D. both helped and harmed 57. According to the article, France has closer ties with .A. Germany B. the US C. Britain D. Iraq58. What does the last sentence mean?A. As long as the English Channel exists, there will be no further disagreement between France
42、and Britain.B. The English Channel prevents anything unfriendly happening between France and Britain.C. The English Channel separates the two countries.D. The English Channel is the longest route between France and Britain.CIn the hills outside Missoula, Montana, wildlife biologists are looking at h
43、ow climate change affects something very small: the snowshoe hare.Life for snowshoe hares is pretty stressful-almost everything in the forest wants to eat them.Alex Kumar, a graduate student at the University of Montana, lists the animals that are hungry for hares. “Lynx(山猫), foxes, coyotes(土狼), eve
44、n red squirrels(松鼠).”Kumar and field technician Tucker Seitz spend months searching these woods for hares, often listening for signals from hares theyve already put radio collars(项圈) on.They catch other hares with wire traps(陷阱) about the size of a breadbox, with some apples as bait(诱饵). Most of the
45、 hares they track live less than a yeara hazard(风险) of being what Kumar calls “the cheeseburger of the ecosystem.”But snowshoe hares have a special skill: camouflage. Theyre brown during the summer, but turn white for the snowy winter months.“Therere times when youre tracking them and you know theyr
46、e really, really close, and you just cant find them,” he says.Hares switch color in the spring and fall in response to light, when the days get longer or shorter. But if the snow comes late, you get a white hare on brown ground.“And they really think that theyre camouflaged, ” Kumar says. “They act
47、like we cant see them.”Kumar calls this “mismatching”, and its becoming more of a concern with climate change.“If the hares are consistently molting(脱毛)at the same time, year after year, and the snowfall comes later and melts earlier, theres going to be more and more times when hares are mismatched,
48、” he says.Scott Mills of North Carolina State University leads the research. He says theyre finding that mismatched hares die at higher rates. Thats a concern for the threatened Canada lynx, which mainly eats these hares.“Its a very clear connection to a single climate change stressor,” Mills says.H
49、ares might be able to adapt over time. Some snowshoe hares in Washington State dont turn white at all. Mills is trying to figure out whether hares and other wildlife can adapt as fast as the climate is changing.“But how fast is too fast?” he asks.59. Alex Kumar and his classmates catch snowshoe hares in order to find out .A. the hares natural enemies
