Here in Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport. However, laws were passed to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.
A wolf naturally lives on animals in the deer family. People there also hunt deer for food. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the plant life there. When the deer can’t find enough food, they die.
If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, the deer will disappear some day. And the wolves will, too. So we must change the life cycles there. If we killed more wolves, we would save them from starving. We also save deer and some farm animals.
In another northern state, wolves attack cows and chickens for food. Farmers want the United States government to send a team of scientists to study the problem. They believe it is necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small population.
小題1:In Alaska, laws have been passed to ____.
A．protect people from wolves and deer
B．protect wolves from becoming dangerous
C．protect wolves from dying out
D．keep wolves from killing large numbers of deer
小題2:Why is it that if wolves go on killing a good many deer the wolves will die out?
A．Because wolves will have no deer to kill.
B．Because people will kill them for punishment.
C．Because killing deer is dangerous.
D．Because wolves mainly live on deer.
小題3:In order to protect more deer from being killed, one way is to ____.
A．pass a lawB．keep deer away from wolves
C．kill more wolvesD．serve wolves more food
小題4:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Some wolves in some areas must be killed, which others should be protected.
B．Wolves should be protected, for there’s a small population of it on earth.
C．All wolves should be protected, for they eat deer, cows and chicken.
D．It is necessary for scientists to protect wolves, or the cycle of life will be changed

Fish have different personalities which change as they experience life’s highs and lows．a(chǎn)ccording to British biologists．
Researchers identified different“personalities” in their fish by observing the boldness or shyness of individuals，according to The Nature．Like people，some fish are very confident in the face of novelty(新奇事物)or conflict；while others are silent and fear．
The scientists selected particularly bold and shy rainbow trout，and tested whether they changed their outlook depending on what life threw at them．They arranged some fish to fight and others to  watch to  see how both the participants  and  observers  responded to victories  and defeats．Winning or losing a fight，or even watching fellow fish overcome the difficulties influenced the future behavior of the creatures studied in the lab．
The researchers made fish compete with much larger or smaller opponents．to ensure that they would win or lose their fights．These bold fish that won their fights tended to be even bolder when later presented with  a novel food  item；losing their fight caused them to be  much more cautious．
Fish also learn by watching others．Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery object were much more nervous when later given a novelty item for themselves．
Predictably，shy fish that won a fight also gained more confidence，but surprisingly，shy fish that lost their fights also grew bolder when exploring strange new food，Sneddon said，adding that this could be due to what she calls a“desperado effect”(亡命徒效應(yīng))．
The new research suggests that animals can gradually adapt their personalities．The results echo the effects that life experience can have on human．
小題1:What does．the underlined word“creatures’’probably refer to?
A．Fish．B．Participants．C．Observers．D．Researchers．
小題2:The third paragraph of the text is mainly about—————．
A．a(chǎn) conclusion of the research
B．a(chǎn)n explanation of fish characters
C．a(chǎn) statement of the experiment
D．a(chǎn) description of fish fights
小題3:What can we know from the research?
A．Bold losing fish become—e bolder when presented With a novel food item．
B．Losing their fights causes the bold fish to be much more courageous．
C．Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery get less nervous．
D．Shy fish losing fights grow more confident in exploring new food．
小題4:What’s the main idea of the text?’   
A．Fish have stress in the fierce fights．
B．Fish care about winning or losing a fight．
C．Fish have adaptable personalities．
D．Fish can learn a lot by watching others．

During the 19th century, scientists found that when certain parts of the brain of a person were hurt, he would lose the power of doing certain things. And so people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modern research has discovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exactly what each part of the brain does.
In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount or research done on the brain. Scientists have found out that the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists tell us that about 100,000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happened to us. We may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen but it is kept there in the store-house of the human mind. Earlier scientists thought that the power of one’s brain got weaker and weaker as one grows older. But it is plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It is now thought that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has done physical work without using much of his brain.
小題1:In the last century, scientists found that a person would lose the power to do certain things _____.
A．when he got weaker in health

小題3:It has been found that one’s brain usually works ______.
A．faster when he is old
B．a(chǎn) little now and a little then
C．in a very simple way
D．without any rest all day long
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A．Scientists are working hard at the researches on the brain.
B．As many as six million chemical changes take place in the brain every minute.
C．A young man doing physical labor is sure to have a much slower mind.
D．Even an old man has a quick mind only if his brain is given much exercise.

For many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself.
The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family.
Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move.
"I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning," she recalled.
During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time.
"I taught myself at home and asked teachers for help on my school days," she explained.
Li's hard work paid off this fall. She was admitted by Zhucheng No 1 High School, a local key school, based on her good performance in the entrance exams.
The school offered Li and her father a room on campus to live in so she could look after him during breaks.
Once in a while, Li felt sad when she saw her classmates going shopping or hanging out with friends.
"I envy them sometimes because they have both mum and dad to look after them. However, I soon feel relieved as I still have my dad with me," she said.
Li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong.
"I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university," she said, in a confident tone.
Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. "She works hard and is always eager to excel . It's not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work," Wang said.

One period of our lives when better results are demanded of us is, strangely enough, childhood. Despite being young we are expected to achieve good grades, stay out of trouble, make friends at school, do well on tests, perform chores (雜務(wù))at home and so on. It’s not easy.
Likeable children enjoy many advantages, including the ability to deal more easily with stresses of growing up.In her book Understanding Child Stress, Dr. Carolyn Leonard states that children who are likeable and optimistic are able to gain support from others. This leads to focus and resilience（適應(yīng)力）, the ability to recover from or adjust early to life stress. Much research shows that resilience has enabled children to succeed in school, avoid drug abuse, and develop a healthy self-awareness(自我意識).
Why does a likeable child more easily handle stress and do better in his or her life? Because likeability helps create what’s known as a positive feedback loop(回饋圈). The positive feelings you want to see in other people are returned to you, creating constant encouragement and motivation to deal with the daily stress of life.
This feedback loop continues into adulthood. To return once again to the example of teaching, learning becomes easier with a likeable personality. Michael Delucchi of the University of Hawaii reviewed dozens of studies to determine if likeable teachers received good ratings because of their likeability or because they in fact taught well. Delucchi found that “Students who perceive(察覺) a teacher as likeable, in contrast to(比照) those who do not, may be more attentive to the information that the teacher delivers and they’ll work harder on assignments, and they will learn more.”
You may have noticed this pattern in your own life when you try to give some advice. The more positive your relationship with that person, the more he or she seems to listen, and the more you feel certain that that person has heard you and intends to act on your words.
小題1:The writer implies in the first paragraph that __________.
A．life is not easy for every one of us
B．children are expected much than we usually think
C．better education results in smarter children
D．to be a likable child is almost impossible
小題2:According to Dr. Leonard, likeable children __________.
A．will work harder on assignments and learn more
B．can deal more easily with stress independently
C．can achieve more and understand themselves better
D．a(chǎn)re always optimistic and ready to help those in need
小題3:The main purpose of the studies done by Michael Delucchi is to find __________.
A．how a likeable teacher’s teaching style is formed
B．how a teacher’s likeability gains popularity
C．if a likeable teacher draws more attention
D．if a likeable teacher has a positive personality
小題4:The passage aims at proving that __________.
A．likeable people give better advice
B．likeable people do better in their childhood
C．social creatures enjoy more advantages
D．likeable people do better in life generally

What would you think if someone suggested knocking down St Paul’s Cathedral to widen the road? Or pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It would be ridiculous, right? But when it comes to devastation (毀滅) of the natural world, we aren’t so easily shocked. But we should be…or we’ll be in a lot of trouble.
Nature is shrinking by the day. Ancient forests are destroyed. Wetlands are becoming dry. Woodland is disappearing, and all in the name of progress. This is bad in itself, but it’s devastating for biodiversity.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals and other living things that are all interconnected. The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life. The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis (光合作用) by green plants. Insects, worms and bacteria break down waste and make soils rich. And tiny organisms clean the water in rivers and sea. In fact, all life on the earth exists thanks to the benefits of biodiversity. More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species. And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals. Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.
The loss of biodiversity could be devastating. “It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edward O. Wilson, known as the “father of biodiversity”. He warned, “We are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will become irreversible (不可挽回的).”
But what can we do? The present problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague (含糊的). People might care about giant pandas, but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines. The Guardian newspaper is trying to help. It has launched the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity. This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to reserve the decrease in the sea-life caused by industrial fishing, stopping fishing sharks by the Japanese fishermen and banning the killing of dingoes (wild dogs) in Australia, among many other things.
There is a lot to do. And we’d better act quickly if we don’t want to end up with a planet that can’t sustain life!
小題1:The writer thinks it ________ to pull down Big Ben to make way for a car park.
A．unreasonableB．necessaryC．difficultD．reasonable
小題2:The underlined sentence “Nature is shrinking by the day.” means that ________.
A．nature is badly polluted by humans
B．species are becoming fewer and fewer day by day
C．rainforests are being cut down every day
D．nature is full of mysteries
小題3:Edward O. Wilson thinks that ________.
A．it doesn’t matter to reduce biodiversity
B．people have done enough to preserve biodiversity
C．the situation of biodiversity is very serious
D．biodiversity loss has become irreversible
小題4:When it comes to biodiversity, the present problem is that ________.
A．people might not clearly know what is biodiversity and what should be protected
B．people are not aware that giant pandas are endangered
C．people don’t realize that biodiversity is vital to everyday life
D．people hunt sea creatures for food
小題5:What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A．The UK government.B．The concept of biodiversity.
C．The action to deal with the problem.D．The Guardian newspaper.

Busy senior managers need no longer waste time in showering themselves－an Australian company has invented a suit that can be worn while they wash.
The suit has been specially designed so that it can be cleaned under the showerhead. There is no need for soaking (浸泡)，dry cleaning－or even soap.
The Japanese market has taken a liking to the “shower suit”，described as “revolutionary” by its owner Australian Wool Innovation (AWI)，which is the research and marketing body that represents Australian wool－growers. Orders have been placed for 170,000 of the woolen suits.
The suit could be worn in the shower，although it was probably better to hang it on a clothes hanger and carry it instead，AWI corporate affairs spokesman Stephen Feighan said.“The idea is that you hang it up and then...you give it a spray (噴霧)，and it’s dry the next morning，” Mr Feighan said.
A Japanese researcher working for AWI invented the suit by combining three technologies. The secret is the best lining (內(nèi)襯)，which allows the suit to dry quickly.The shower suit attracted busy corporate people，particularly those who often traveled or stayed up late，Mr Feighan said.The airline industry was also interested.
Mr Feighan confessed he had not worn one of the suits yet，or tried to wash it in the shower，because they cut to fit Japanese figures.AWI believes that the shower suit will spread from the Japanese market through Europe and India. Mr Feighan hoped the suit，made from local wool，would be available in Australia in 12 to 18 months’ time.
小題1:What is the writing purpose of the article?
A．To introduce a newly－designed shower suit.
B．To help the white collars arrange their life more sensibly.
C．To provide suggestions on saving time in bath.
D．To praise AWI for its important achievement.
小題2:Which is true about the suit according to the passage?
A．It can spare the owner’s trouble of soaking，dry cleaning and applying soap.
B．It is of the quality of fast dry for its best cloth.
C．It is not suitable for hanging.
D．It has attracted more orders than any other suit.
小題3:The suit draws the attention from all the following groups EXCEPT________.
A．corporate people who are always on the go
B．people on occasional business trips
C．the airline industry
D．people burning the midnight oil
小題4:Which of the following has much to do with Mr Feighan?
A．The invention of the suit.
B．The try－on of the suit.
C．The combination of the three technologies on the suit.
D．The popularization of the suit and best wishes for it.
