It is reported that conservation groups(自然环境保护小组)in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves.Some groups believe wolves should be killed.Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness(荒野)

For Killing Wolves

In Alaska,the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago,because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport.However, laws were established 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 eats animals in the deer family.People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food.Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life.When the deer can’t find enough food,they die.

If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer,their prey(猎物)will disappear some day.And the wolves will.too.So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology(生态学).If we killed more wolves,we would save them and their prey from dying out.We’d also save some farm animals.

In another northern state,wolves attack cows and chickens for food.Farmers want the government to send biologists(生物学家) to study the problem.They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population.

Against Killing Wolves

If you had lived long ago,you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf.According to most stories,hungry wolves often kill people for food.Even today,the stories of the “big bad wolf'"will not disappear.

But the fact is that wolves are afraid of people.and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell.When wolves eat other animals,they usually kill the very young or the sick and injured.The strongest survive.No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had not lived.And has always been a law of nature.

Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves,we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance.The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.

The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people.Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves can’t always find enough food.So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm.Then there is danger.The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.

1.According to the passage,some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET that

A.there are too many wolves

B.they kill large numbers of deer

C.they attack cows and chickens for food

D.they destroy the wilderness plant life

2.Some people are against killing wolves because

A.wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wilderness

B.there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness

C.there are too many deer in the wilderness

D.wolves are afraid of people and never attack people

3.According to those against killing wolves,when wolves eat other animals,

A.they never eat strong and healthy ones

B.they always go against the law of nature

C.they might help this kind of animals survive in nature

D.they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness

4.The last sentence “And everyone knows what happens next” implies that in such cases

A.farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped away

B.wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill them

C.wolves will find enough food sources on farms

D.people will leave the areas where wolves can live

We feel it important to start reading to your child right from the start –the younger the better! With little ones(children from birth to 4)it is very important to read and reread books.Starting early makes the job of the listener(for you will be teaching your child how to listen) easier,as it helps to develop an early love of the written and spoken word.

We believe that you should read aloud to your child at least once every day .Set a special reading time during the day or evening when you can settle down(安静下来) and enjoy a book,without interruption.For most families,reading aloud at bedtime is a common practice.

We understand that it can be quite discouraging to read to a child who takes no interest .Take heart! Learning to listen takes experience .The more you read ,the more your child will learn to sit for a story .Children have a natural development of responses(反应)to your reading .By the time your child reaches6-7 months,she/he is attracted by the book in your hand ,and would like to test it out by using it as a chew(咀嚼)toy.This is natural! By one year,your child is learning to listen and talk about the pages,often shouting out things she/he recognizes.Encourage this! And at the onset (起始)of walking ,you have your biggest challenge yet.your child is always on the go.you need to set your reading time for a time in the day when your child is preparing to settle down.This means bedtime.Remember,it is your right and duty to teach your child about the power of books.Of course ,it doesn’t happen overnight,but the returns are great!

1.Who does “the listener” in the first paragraph refer to?

A.The writer B.The parent

C.The child D.The teacher

2.The best time of the day to read stories to a child is ______.

A.when the child is still active in the early evening

B.when the parents finish the day’s housework

C.when the child has a chew toy to play with

D.when the child is quiet and peaceful

3.Parent may find it most difficult to read to their child when she/he _______.

London has more than nine million visitors every year.They come and visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames.

You can see some of the most interesting places in the city by getting on one of London's tour buses or you can take a ride on the London Eye.This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames.From the top you have wonderful views of the whole city.

The River Thames is London's main waterway.It has shaped the capital's landscape, history and geography.So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along the river.

The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament (议会大厦), Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London.The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes, has become well-known throughout the nation.

No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city.After Big Ben, the Tower may be London's most visited tourist spot.It is Europe's oldest palace and prison.

Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old.

Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous.It has been the main London home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837.You can visit some of the rooms in August and September.Most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside hanging the guard.

About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor.Here you can visit another of the Queen's homes — Windsor Castle, Europe's biggest castle.

Sight-seeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring.So, the best way to start the day is to fill up on an English breakfast.

For starters, have an egg, bacon, sausages (香肠), tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and fried bread.Then finish off with toast and jam, and a large pot of tea.You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes.

Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London, and simply watch the busy world go by.

1.Which of the following is not suggested as one of the best ways to make sense of London?

A.Taking a trip along the Thames.

B.Subway.

C.Tour buses.

D.London Eye.

2.According to the story, which place may be London's most visited tourist spot?

A.Buckingham Palace. B.The Tower of London.

C.Big Ben. D.The River Thames.

3.If you go to London in December, you will not be able to ______.

A.tour the city along the River Thames

B.visit Windsor Castle

C.watch the soldiers outside the Buckingham Palace changing guards

D.tour the Buckingham Palace

4.The word "starters" in the last paragraph but four means ______.

A.the first course of the meal

B.beginners

C.the first time

D.those who haven't had an English breakfast

Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤) her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame(身躯).

Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue(组织) taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, doctors performed complex skin transplants(移植) to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.

When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”

Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.

She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burnt scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”

1.What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?

A.They were friendly to her.

B.They showed sympathy to her.

C.They were afraid of her.

D.They looked down upon her.

2.Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to___________.

A.face others’ unkindness bravely

B.hide their scars by proper dressing

C.live a normal life

D.recover quickly

3.What does the underlined word “permanent” in the 4th paragraph mean?

A. necessary B. life-long

C. difficult D. important

4.What can be the best title of the passage?

A. A Seriously Burned Girl Survives

B. Ways to Get Rid of Unkind Stares

C.Permanent Scars And Pain For a Girl

D. A Seriously Burned Angel of Hope
