【解析】

試題分析:本文是說(shuō)明文題材。在文中作者詳細(xì)介紹了地鐵站的一些信息。比如每位成年人持票可以攜帶兩名五歲以下兒童乘坐地鐵；Farecard的購(gòu)買(mǎi)和使用情況；車(chē)票的價(jià)格；此處，作者還介紹了一些服務(wù)部門(mén)的電話號(hào)碼以方便乘客的需要。

1.Metrorall (地鐵)部分第二段內(nèi)容there are no change machines in the stations and farecard machines only provide up to $5 in change.可知自動(dòng)售卡機(jī)只能最多找5美元的零錢(qián)，故答案選D。易錯(cuò)選項(xiàng)為A，文中的 Use it after 9:30 a,m. until closing on weekdays是使用farecard的時(shí)間，而不是farecard machines售票的時(shí)間。

2.

3.Metrobus的介紹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的話，乘客可以節(jié)省0.1美元， 故答案選B。

     I was taking a train to London’s Victoria Station. I had noticed that the carriage was noise and filled with people.

     Before long, a train inspector comes to check out tickets. A passenger realized he couldn’t find his ticket but became quite upset. Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket, which was eventually found under a seat several rows from his owner. The person who found a ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.

     No one in the carriage had previous spoken to or even noticed the ticket-owner before. Yet, they had so quickly offered the strangers their help. If we could show concern to others on need, the world would be a better place to live in.

Passenger pigeons（旅鴿）once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours.

It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons – a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.

Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.

By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered（驅(qū)散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.

In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1, 1914.

A. were the biggest bird in the world

B. lived mainly in the south of America

C. did great harm to the natural environment

D. Were the largest population in the US

2.The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ _______.

A. escape B. ruin C. liberation D. evolution

3.What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?

A. To seek pleasure. B. To save other birds.

C. To make money. D. To protect crops.

4.What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?

A. It was ignored by the public. B. It was declared too late.
