In 1900,about 100,000 cheetahs (獵豹) lived in the world. Today there are only 10 ,000. Everyone knows that cheetahs are fast. Some studies have measured (測量) their speed at about 95 kilometers an hour.

  John Wilson took part in the cheetah research. He says cheetahs can easily deal with the energy. They rest for most of the day. And they only have a few periods of activity. For example,a cheetah would only hunt in the morning for a few hours and in the afternoon for a few hours.

  Dr Wilson says the new study finds that it is not really what happens. " Our study has found that cheetahs lose about 12 percent of the food. While they lose quite a bit of their food,cheetahs are pretty fast eaters. So,they've eaten a lot of that food before they use that food. The act of losing food is not so significant (有重大意義的) ."

  The longer they look for food,the more energy they need. And,he says, "That is the problem. ” It takes longer time for cheetahs to find animals they can catch and eat. And they haVe to walk farther to do so. Dr Wilson says it is because they naturally avoid people. Human beings are increasingly occupying the areas where cheetahs traditionally look for food. Houses and fences block them from searching for animals to attack. Cheetahs use up a lot of energy to get around.

  Dr Wilson says that there are no easy solutions to help cheetahs deal with human activities,but fast action is needed.

(   ) 1. The cheetahs are        animals nowadays.

   A. endangered   B. increasing   C. friendly   D. simple

(   ) 2. The cheetahs can run at a speed of         .

(   ) 3. The underlined word "they" in the third paragraph refers to "         ".

   A. periods   B. cheetahs   C. eaters   D. hunters

(   ) 4. The underlined word "occupying" in the passage means         .

   A. planning   B. giving up   C. noticing   D. taking up

(   ) 5. Which is NOT true according to John Wilson's research?

   A. There are many easy solutions to help cheetahs deal with human activities.

   B. Cheetahs can easily solve the energy and they have simple periods of activity.

   C. Cheetahs are pretty fast eaters and they often lose quite a bit of their food.

   D. Cheetahs have to walk much farther to find animals because they must avoid people.

1. A推理判斷題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞The cheetahs . . . nowadays ,可回原文定位于第一段。根據(jù)第一段第一 、二句"In 1900.about 100.000 cheetahs lived in the world. Today there are only 10.000."可以判斷,現(xiàn)在獵豹是瀕臨滅絕的動物。

2. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞run at a speed of ,可回原文定位于第一段第四句。根據(jù)"Some studies have measured their speed at about 95 kilometers an hour."可知,獵豹的奔跑速度大約是每小時95千米。

3. B關(guān)系指代題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞"they" in the third paragraph ,可回原文定位于第三段。根據(jù)"While they lose quite a bit of their food,cheetahs are pretty fast eaters."可知,they指的是"獵豹"。

4. D同義猜測題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞occupying ,可回原文定位于第四段。根據(jù)"D r Wilson says it is because they naturally avoid people."及下文可知,occupying的意思是"占用",相當(dāng)于taking np。

5. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)"Dr Wilson says that there are no easy solutions to help cheetahs deal with human activities,but fast action is needed."可知.沒有簡單的方法來幫助獵豹處理人類的活動,因此,A項表述為"有簡單的方法來幫助獵豹處理人類的活動"是錯誤的。根據(jù)第二段中的"He says cheetahs can easily deal with the energy. "和"And they only have a few periods of activity."可知,獵豹可以非常簡單地解決能源問題,并且只有幾個活動的時間段,排除B;根據(jù)第三段中的"While they lose quite a bit of their food,cheetahs are pretty fast eaters."可排除C;根據(jù)第四段中的"And they have to walk farther lo do so. Dr Wilson says it is because they naturally avoid people."可知,獵豹走得更遠(yuǎn)尋找食物是因為它們必須避免人類,排除D.

  I shook hands with my father in the truck,and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn't say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to me. "I can't tell you anything," he finally said. "I never went to college,and none of your brothers went to college. I can't say don't do this or do that,because everything is different and I don1! know what is going to come up. I can't help much with money,either,but I think things will work out.”

  He gave me a new chequebook. "If things get pushing,write a small check. But when you write one,send me a letter and let me know how much it is. There are some things we can always sell. ” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than one thousand dollars. My parttime jobs such as reading to the blind students and sitting with the teachers' kids filled in the financial gaps.

  "You know what you want to be,and they'll tell you what to take," my father went on. "When you get a job,be sure it's honest,and work hard. ” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town,and I would miss the cool wind and the life where your thinking was done for you.

  Then my dad reached down beside his seat and took out the old,broken Bible that he had read many times,the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbors. I knew he would miss it. I knew,though,that T must take it.

  He didn't say "Read this every morning. ” He just said, "This can help you if you read it."

 Did it help? I went to college without being a burden on the family. I had been able to make money since then.
