【解析】

试题分析:本文是说明文题材。在文中作者详细介绍了地铁站的一些信息。比如每位成年人持票可以携带两名五岁以下儿童乘坐地铁；Farecard的购买和使用情况；车票的价格；此处，作者还介绍了一些服务部门的电话号码以方便乘客的需要。

1.Metrorall (地铁)部分第二段内容there are no change machines in the stations and farecard machines only provide up to $5 in change.可知自动售卡机只能最多找5美元的零钱，故答案选D。易错选项为A，文中的 Use it after 9:30 a,m. until closing on weekdays是使用farecard的时间，而不是farecard machines售票的时间。

2.考查细节理解。根据Hours of service的介绍部分 Close midnight Sun-Thurs.；3a.m. Sat-Sun可知在周末停运时间是凌晨3点，故答案选B。

3.Metrobus的介绍When paying with exact charge , the fare is $1.35.When paying with a SmarTrip?card , the fare is 1.25.可知如果使用SmarTrip?card的话，乘客可以节省0.1美元， 故答案选B。

Nearly five years before, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted

Some cherry tomatoes(圣女果)in our back garden. Since then for all these year we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please. As result, the plants are growing somewhere. The fruits are small in size, but juicy and taste. There are so much that we often share them with our neighbors.
