【题目】 It’s wonderful to have a relaxing bath in mineral water while looking out over beautiful scenery. If you live in the US or are planning a visit, consider going to one of the two natural hot springs (温泉) in the western US:

Travertine Hot Springs

At the edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Bridgeport, California lie the Travertine Hot Springs. The orange, green, and red rocks and the mountains create beautiful views for you to enjoy while you bathe. Each pool is a different temperature, so you can find one that’s comfortable for you. These springs can easily be reached by car. Take Route 395 south from Bridgeport and turn left onto Jack Sawyer Road. In about a mile you’ll arrive at the springs. If you like to camp, you can camp along Jack Sawyer Road.

Bagby Hot Springs

In the middle of an ancient forest you’ll find the Bagby Hot Springs. At the springs there are wooden bathhouses, with both private baths and communal baths. Through a system of pipes the spring water is brought to the baths at a temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit. If that’s too hot buckets of cold water are also available to mix into the bathtub (浴缸) or to cool off with after your bath.

The Bagby Springs are about 45 minutes from Estacada, Oregon, on Highway 224. To get to the bathhouse there is a 1.5-mile walk from the parking lot through the beautiful Mt. Hood National Forest. While in the area, make sure to visit Portland, which is known for its coffee, restaurants, and music.

The best time to visit the two hot springs is in late spring, or in summer or fall. While in the area, check out the Curecanti National Recreation Area, where you can enjoy canoeing, fishing, bird watching, camping, and hiking.

【题目】 Scotland’s wildlife faces a “long march” north to escape global warming and there will be losses along the way, Scotland’s leading conservation body has warned.

Scottish Natural Heritage is to explore ways of helping the country’s animals and plants on their epic (史诗般的) journey, so they can spread from areas that become too warm. too wet or too dry over the coming years. Roads, railways, towns and large open areas represent physical barriers for many kinds of wildlife. but a range of methods can be used to overcome them. Potential solutions include tunnels under or ecoducts (生态桥) over roads and railways; networks of green spaces; increased areas of species-friendly mixed forests and a landscape that is generally more wildlife friendly.

SNH announced the programme — called The Long March. They will initially concentrate on“pinch points” where there is little space for wildlife. The programme takes its name from the “Long March” made by the Chinese Red Army in the 1930s. “Climate change is going to push a whole range of our species north, and it won’t be an easy journey,” SNH’s land use group manager, Duncan said. “The challenges facing our wildlife are similar, although the barriers may be railway lines, motorways and housing estates.

“We need to give wildlife the best possible chance of moving into new climate space by creating stepping stones of suitable habitat in the landscape. By doing this we will give at least some species the opportunity to respond to the warming climate.”

【1】Where will the wildlife move to start a new life?

A.Warmer areas.B.More wet places.

C.Colder places.D.The forest.

【2】What are the possible solutions to the wildlife on their journey?

B.Protecting the present habitat is the best way.

D.Building stepping stones of suitable habitat is necessary.

【题目】 There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.

When my friend Lily from London used the word "larder", I didn't know what it meant. Realizing I didn't follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food.

The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.

Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.

Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store（食品杂货店）recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn't follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.

In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.

【1】When Lily used the word "larder", she was probably looking for a ________.

A. cupB. ladder

C. cupboardD. cooker

【2】What does the underlined phrase "jotted down" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Wrote down.B. Left behind.

C. Looked for.D. Settled down.

【3】According to the passage, Lily regretted sending her boys to watch a tennis game mainly because ________. .

A. the game was boring

B. she wanted to spend time with her boys

C. she didn't dress her boys in thick clothes

D. her boys got lost

【4】What is the passage mainly about？

A. The British way of using words.

B. Some new words the writer's British friends taught her.

C. The reasons why Americans can't follow the British at times.

D. Some words used differently in British English and American English.
