A
Wolves travel in groups, and they perform almost all the other activities of their lives in the company of fellow wolves. This is one of the most important facts that modern science have learned about wolves and one of the things that most clearly explains their way of life.
The pack is usually a family group. It is made up of animals related to each other by blood. The centre of a pack is a pair of wolves----an adult male and female that have produced young. The other members of the pack are their offspring (后代): young wolves ranging in age from pups(幼崽) to two- and three-year-olds. Most packs have 6 or 7 members, although some may include as many as 15 wolves.
Relationships among creatures that live close together in groups are often very complex, and this is true of the ties that connect the members of a wolf pack. Scientific studies of captive(被捕获的) wolves and wolf packs in the wild have shown that many complex rules of behavior seem to govern the way that the animals relate to each other.
When wolf pups are born into a pack, one of the most important things they must learn is the “language” of the group, the method by which pack members keep in touch with each other, sharing information and communicating their feelings. Scientists have discovered that wolves have a very complex system of communication.
The most famous wolf sound is, of course, the howl, and it is a very important part of wolf language.
When people think about howling, they usually imagine a sad, lonely sound made by a wolf sitting all alone on a hilltop in the moonlight. However, this picture in most human beings’ mind is not completely true. Wolves howl at any time, not just at night, and they often howl together, not alone.
Group or chorus howling is another means by which the members of a wolf reaffirm(重申) their ties with each other and their closeness as a group. One wolf----often the male leader----will point its nose at the sky, open its mouth, and start to howl. Immediately the other members of the pack rush to stand beside him, shoulder to shoulder, and join their voices to his. Each wolf howls on its own note so that a big chorus of slightly different sounds is produced.
Chorus howling often takes place before a wolf pack goes out to hunt. At the end of a successful hunt, the pack may also celebrate with a group howl. While wolves are on the track of prey(猎物), they are usually silent.
There are occasions when a wolf will howl by itself. This may happen when an animal is separated from the pack. Pack members seem to recognize each other’s voices and will keep responding to the howl of their wandering relative until the group is reunited.
Because howling is a sound that carries over a considerable distance, it is very useful in communications among separated members of a pack. Howling is also used when members of different packs have to get in touch with each other to pass on information about their locations and their purposes.
56. What makes communication the most important part of wolves’ lives?
A. Living in packs B. Hunting at night
C. Occupying a large area D. Finding fellows
10
57. What most likely happens to young wolves after the age of four?
A. They leave the pack and live alone.
B. They leave the pack to form packs of their own.
C. They continue to live as part of the pack.
D. They take over the leadership from their parents.
58. To what human activity could wolves’ “chorus howling” best be compared?
A. A baby crying from hunger
B. A family having an argument
C. A group of people singing at a concert
D. A sports team cheering before a game
B
A microscope is a useful instrument for observing small objects. By producing a bigger image, the microscope reveals details that are undetectable to the naked eye(裸眼).
Before using the microscope, please read the instructions below.
CAUTION: Microscopes are both delicate and expensive and must be handled with care.
1. Always carry the microscope with two hands — one supporting the base and the other on the arm.
2. Avoid stretching the wire of the lamp across a walkway.
3. Keep the stage clean and always use a glass slide for specimens(样本).
4. To avoid crushing the glass slide when focusing, begin with the lens close to the specimen and gradually back off to focus.
5. Keep the microscope covered to prevent the dust while it is being stored.
HOW TO USE THE MICROSCOPE:
1. Plug(接通电源) in the lamp.
2. Place a sample of what you wish to observe on a slide.
3. Adjust the mirror so it reflects light from the room up into the objective lens. When the mirror is correctly adjusted, a complete circle of light will appear when you look through the eyepiece.
4. Place your slide with the specimen directly over the center of the glass circle on the stage. If it is a wet slide, be sure the bottom of the slide is dry.
5. With the LOW POWER objective lens placed over the slide, use the coarse focus knob to lower the lens to the lowest point.
6. Look through the eyepiece with one eye while closing the other eye. Slowly raise the lens until the focus is relatively clear.
7. Use the fine focus knob to fine -tune(微调)the focus.
8. Without changing the focus knobs, switch to the HIGH POWER objective lens. Once you have switched to HIGH POWER, use only the fine focus knob to make the image sharper.
59. Which of the following is the correct way to use a microscope according to the text?
A. Use one hand to carry the microscope
B. Place a sample directly on the clean stage
C. When stored, the microscope should be adjusted.
D. Look through the eyepiece with one eye.
60. If you want to observe a thin piece of hair, which of the following should you do first?
A. Switch to objective lens B. Adjust the mirror
C. Look through the eye D. Place the hair on a glass slide
10
61. According to the text, you could see a complete circle of light _____.
A. after correctly adjusting the mirror
B. while looking at the specimen on a glass slide
C. after slowly raising the objective lens
D. before positioning the mirror correctly
C
The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp(沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.
“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name?”
“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story,” warned Jack.
“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place!”
“OK, but don't say I didn't warn you,” said Jack, and he began his tale.
“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”
“ ‘You are clearing too much land,’ warned one old man. ‘The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’”
“ ‘Silly fool,’ said Dennis to himself. ‘If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous!’”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened?” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back－just as the old man warned,” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”
“What a stupid story,” laughed Tom. “Plants can't...” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.
62. The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. courage B. assistance C. instruction D. challenge
63. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?
A. To frighten them. B. To satisfy their curiosity.
C. To warn them of the danger of the place. D. To persuade them to camp in the swamp.
64. We can infer from the story that Tom screamed and fainted because_______
10
A. He saw Dennis's shadow. B. He was scared by a plant.
C. His friends played a joke on him. D. The weather became extremely cold.
65. What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?
A. Grasp all, lose all. B. No sweat, no sweet.
C. It is no use crying over spilt milk. D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

How to Calm Your Teen's Nerves before an Exam
Stress is a feeling of physical, mental and emotional strain of tension which disturbs or interferes with normal physiological balance. Stress can be overwhelming(压倒一切的) for anyone, but it can be especially difficult for a teen that has not yet developed effective coping skills. A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. So, how can parents help their teen stay calm before an exam?
Recognize when your teen is under stress.
Teens can feel an immense pressure to do well on exams. For some teens, just the idea of taking the test can bring them into a panic(恐慌). 66 Emotional symptoms include: excessive(过多的) of uncontrollable drying, aggression or mood swings, and panic attacks.
What should parents do?
--Be involved
Parents need to be involved in their teen's work. What they look for is your presence--to talk, to dry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. 67
--Help them get organized
Help your teen think about what she has to study and plan accordingly. 68
--Give them a nutritious diet

--Show a positive attitude
70 If you panic, blame, or apply to much pressure, your teen will have an undue increase in their stress levels. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most important, reassure your teens that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.
A. Together, you and your teen can work out a time-table in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
