     I was wondering when it would happen. As everyone who lives in London and other cities
around Britain will know, urban foxes are now commonplace. I recently saw one in the middle
of the day, wandering along a street in Pimlico. Twenty years ago, that sight would have stopped
the traffic. Now, it is barely worth a remark. Foxes are large animals, as big as many dogs. Of
course, as in the terrifying incident at Homerton, one would attack a baby sooner or later.
    Actually, this has already happened. In 2002, at Dartford in Kent, a fox bit a 14-week-old boy
in the living room of the family home while his mother was sleeping. The last government preferred
to ignore the incident; it was, after all trying to ban foxhunting at the time. It could see that some folk
love urban foxes, perhaps having the same affection for wildlife as the people I have seen in London
parks feeding rats along with squirrels and ducks.
    The foxites even include animal scientists, who would seem to have persuaded Bristol City
Council (whose advisory Living with Urban Foxes has been adopted by the Chartered Institute
of Environmental Health) that foxes never attack humans. But then they also deny that country foxes
target lambs, when every hill farmer I know would tell them differently. A lamb is much the same
size as a baby. It is no more difficult to get into a house than into a hen cage.
    According to Living with Urban Foxes, “the fox population is stable”, and has not significantly
increased. Is this true? When I first lived in London in the late 1970s, urban foxes had an almost
mythical status. They were like yetis. You never saw one; you weren’t sure they really existed.
Now, they are part of the scene. I wouldn’t be surprised to find one. Friends in the suburbs are
plagued（困擾）with them. A study in Bristol showed that an astonishing 8 percent of pets caged
in gardens are killed by foxes each year.
    Surely, if foxes are now harming babies, it is time for something to be done about them, yet this is
not as straightforward as it might seem. While country residents refer to foxes as harmful animals,
that is not how they are officially classified; this means that local authorities do not have a statutory
obligation（法定的義務(wù)）to control them. It would be an easy thing for this government to change
the legislation.
1.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To urge the government to control urban foxes.
B. To show how to provide food for urban foxes.
C. To protect urban foxes from traffic accidents.
D. To prove urban foxes are not dangerous as expected.
2.The underlined word “foxites” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to those who ______.
A. hate urban foxes
B. love urban foxes
C. support foxhunting
D. oppose foxhunting
3.What is the author’s attitude toward Living with Urban Foxes?
A. Support.
B. Praise.
C. Disbelief.
D. Tolerance.
4.What kind of people is the author worried about most?
A. Farmers.
B. Students.
C. Drivers.
D. Babies.

     A Scotsman and an Englishman lived next door to each other. The Scotsman owned a hen
and each morning he would look in his garden and pick up his hen’s egg for breakfast. One
morning he looked into his garden and saw that the hen had laid an egg in the Englishman’s garden.
     He was about to go next door when he saw the English-man pick up the egg. The Scotsman
ran up to the English-man and told him that the egg belonged to him because he owned the hen.
The Englishman disagreed because the egg was on his property(財(cái)產(chǎn)).
     They argued for a while until finally the Scotsman said, "In my family we normally settle disputes
by the following actions: We kick each other and we compare the time how long it takes us to
get back up. Whoever gets up quicker wins the egg."
     The Englishman agreed to this, so the Scotsman found his heaviest pair of boots and put
them on. He took a few steps back, then ran toward the Englishman and kicked as hard as he
could in his stomach.
     The Englishman fell to the floor, holding his stomach and howling in pain for 10 minutes.
Eventually the English-man stood up and said, "Now it’s my turn to kick you." At this time,
the Scotsman said, "Aye Lad, maybe you should just keep the egg."

     Outside her shabby cottage, old Mrs. Tailor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unaware that
some children lay hidden in the leaves of a nearby tree watching her every move. They were determined
to find out if she really was a witch.
     They watched as she took a broomstick to clean the dirt from her stone steps. But, much to their
disappointment, she did not mount the broomstick and take flight. Suddenly, the old lady's work was
interrupted by the cackling of her hen-a signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on top of the
haystack.
     The old broomstick was put aside as she hobbled off towards the haystack followed by Sooty, a
black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time back. With only three legs, it was hard for Sooty
to keep up with the old lady. The cat provided proof-the children were sure that only a witch could
own a black cat with three legs.
     There, standing on a wooden box, was Mrs. Tailor, stretching out to gather her precious egg. Taking
the egg in one of her hands, she began to climb down when, without warning, the box broke and the
old lady fell.
     "We have to got and help her," whispered Amy.
     "What if it is a trick?" replied Ben.
     "Don't be silly, Ben. If she were a witch, she would have turned us into frogs already," reasoned
Meg. "Come on Amy, let's go." The girls climbed down the tree and ran all the way to the haystack.
     Approaching carefully, they could see a wound on the old lady's face. She had knocked her head
on a stone and her ankle was definitely broken. "Go and get Dad," Amy yelled to her brother. "Tell him
about the accident."
     The boys did not need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that
Mrs. Tailor would not wake and turn the girls into frogs.

1. Were the children hiding in the tree?
A. They wanted to watch Mrs. Tailor do her housework closely.
B. They were playing a hide-and-seek game.
C. They wanted to find out if the rumors about Mrs. Tailor were true.
D. They were pretending to be spies
2. Mrs. Tailor stopped sweeping when _____.
A. her front steps were clean
B. she noticed the children in the tree
C. she was ready to take a flight
D. she heard the hen cackling
3. Ben did not rush in help Mrs. Tailor because _____.
A. he thought that she could be necking them
B. he knew that they could not have been in the tree
C. he did not the old lady fall down
D. he was afraid of the three-legged cat
4. Which of these old sayings best suits the story's lesson for us?
A. Make hay while the sun shines.
B. Never judge a book by its cover.
C. People in glasshouses should not the stones.

閱讀理解。

      In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film-maker Walter Disney.
He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon film for children. When Walter
Disney heard Nash's voice, he said, "Stop! That's our duck!"
       The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film, The Wise
Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and worn his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he
became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he
was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very easily. And they loved his voice when he
became angry with Mickey's eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse
himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody, like Mickey.
      In the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds
of Disney cartoons. He also made educational film about the place of the USA in the world, and safety
in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared-there were no more new cartoons.
      Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on the
television and hear that famous voice.

1. Who made Donald Duck cartoons?
A. Mickey Mouse.
B. Clarence Nash.
C. Walter Disney.
D. Pluto
2. When did the first Donald Duck film appear?
A. In 1933  
B. In 1934
C. In 1966  
D. In 1965
3. Who was Clarence Nash?
A. A cartoonist.
B. A writer.
C. A film maker.
D. The man who made the voice for Donald Duck.
4. Where do today's children see Donald Duck cartoons?
A. In new cartoons.
B. At the cinema.
C. On television.
D. In the theatre.
5. Why did people like Donald better than Mickey Mouse?
A. Probably because he was lazy and greedy.
B. Probably because he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.
C. Probably because he lost his temper very easily.
D. Probably because he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews.
