Directions: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each statement.
When the early settlers, especially the English, arrived in the New World, the hardships, and dangers awaiting them were totally unexpected. Had it not been for some friendly Indians, the colonists never would have survived the terrible winters. They knew nothing about planting crops, hunting animals, building solid house or making clothing from animal skins. Life in England had been much simpler, and this new life was not what the Spanish explorers had reported.
The settlers did introduce iron tools, muskets(步枪) for hunting , domesticated animals, and political way to the Indians. In exchange, the settlers learned to build canoes(独木舟) for water transportation and snowshoes for winter traveling. The Indians also taught them to penetrate through the forest, to hunt large animals and trap smaller ones, and to catch fish in the lakes and streams. The natives also introduced to the settlers typical local food. Everything possible was done in order to make their new settlement resemble the homes they had left behind.

Read the following passage and the statements that follow. Choose the best answer for each statement from the three choices marked A, B and C . Outdoor Learning Environment “How do they get the tomato on the vine（藤、蔓）?” The question shocked Hillis. It reminded him of the time five years ago when he was volunteering at Beattie Elementary School in his daughter’s kindergarten classroom. He’d been reading the children a book about gardening. “These kids had only seen vegetables in supermarkets,” he says. “I felt that something important was missing in their lives.” So he went to work. Hillis and his wife, Sally, made the local government believe that it was necessary to create an outdoor learning environment. He and other volunteers raised more than 30,000 dollars to make such a project. The project was designed like the Platte River. Like the river, the school’s front walkway turns east to west, so they planted things along the walkway, such as native grasses which can be found along the river too. Today, students are greeted every day by the cedar-mulched creation（雪松覆盖的表面）, which spreads the length of three city blocks. In the back, there’s a garden, with twenty 1 ton rocks lying in the ground, where teachers hold classes. The outdoor effort has changed things inside, too. For science, children plant seeds and, based upon each seed’s size and weight, guess how large a vegetable will grow to become. For arts and crafts, they collect fallen leaves and make designs out of them. Other science lessons make up a large part of the outdoor learning process. “No matter what time of the year it is,” Hillis says, “there’s always something going on.” （ ）Hillis was a volunteer at Beatte Elementary School five years ago. A A. Right B B. Wrong C C. Doesn’t say
