1.The elephant was lying heavily on its side,fast asleep.A few dogs started barking at it.The elephant woke up in a terrible anger:it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.That didn't stop the elephant.It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people.The villagers were scared and angry.Then someone suggested calling Parbati,the elephant princess.
Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer(驯兽者).He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk.He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up--how to catch wild elephants.
Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle.After a happy childhood hunting with her father,she was sent to boarding school in the city.But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life."Life in the city is too dull.Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase,"she says.
But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun."My work,"she says,"is to rescue man from the elephants,and to keep the elephants safe from man."And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years.Increasingly,the Indian elephant is angry:for many years,illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land.It is now fighting back.Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village,Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion.A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant."Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them.They are also more loyal than humans,"she said,as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant,happy animal.An elephant princess indeed!
51.For Parbati,catching elephants is mainly toD.
A.get long lasting excitement             B.make the angry elephants tame
C.send them back to the jungle            D.keep both man and elephants safe
52.Before Parbati studied in a boarding school,A.
A.she spent her time hunting with her father
B.she learned how to sing love songs
C.she had already been called an elephant princess
D.she was taught how to hunt tigers
53.Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge(报复)becauseC.
A.they are caught and sent for heavy work
B.illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C.they are attacked and their land gets limited
D.dogs often bark at them and chase them
54.The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in IndiaD.
A.people easily fall victim(受害者)to elephants attacks
B.dogs are as powerful as elephants
C.elephant tamers are in short supply
D.the man-elephant relationship is getting worse.

10.Education plays an extremely important role in our life and deeply impacts the society.However,how does society influence education?
Before understanding the influence of society on education,we must(51)Bsociety.Society is an extended social group having a distinctive cultural and economic organization.It is characterized by patterns of relationships between individuals.It is a group of individuals who (52)Aa common system of customs,values and laws.From the definition of society,it is clear that we human beings are its building (53)B.As we interact with people,try to understand their thinking styles and(54)Dpatterns,we soon realize that there is so much to learn from them.Society is the greatest(55)Cof education.Don't you think so?
We cannot(56)Dthe impact of society on the education system alone.We need to understand the role of society in the(57)Ddevelopment of an individual.Even before we become a part of the education system,we start learning from our surroundings.And during the process of formal education,we (58)Ctake‘non-formal'from society.Yes,our interactions with our fellow-beings,our observations about their social behaviour and our understanding of social norms(59)Cus to face life.True,educational (60)D,like schools,colleges and universities play a very important role in our education.But,we cannot ignore the fact that we learn some of the important lessons of life from society.It would not be an exaggeration to say that the (61)Aprocess of learning begins at a point,which marks the end of institutional education.Learning,as an individual,from your interaction with society,is a vital part of education.
Society plays an important role in education and influences it,both positively and negatively.Social inequalities and unhealthy educational practices are some of the(62)Binfluences of society on our lives.Customs and traditions (63)Dcertain sections of society from exercising their fundamental rights and block the well-being of society,shatter the basic ideas of educaiotn and social awareness.Some social groups deny women's right to education,while others force children to work,depriving (剥夺) them from a healthy environment,conducive to their growth and development.Education is one of the basic human rights.If social norms deprive certain strata(阶层)of society form progressing in life and come in the way of social welfare,it(64)Cthe purpose of education.

11.Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone(克隆),not in features but in footsteps.As he grows you also age,and your ambitions(报复、雄心) become more unachievable.You begin to realize that your boy,in your footsteps,could probably accomplish(完成) what you hoped for.But footsteps can be muddied(污浊) and they can go off in different directions.
My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten.Science projects waited until the last moment.Book reports weren't written until the final threat(威胁).
I've been a newspaperman all my adult life.My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master's degree in English.But Jody?When he entered the tenth grade he became a"vo-tech"student(技校学生).They're called"motorheads"by the rest of the student body.
When a secretary in my office first called him"motorhead",I was shocked."Hey,he's a good kid,"I wanted to say."And smart,really."
I learned later that motorheads are,indeed,different.They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes.And they don't often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).
But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education.We who work in clean shirts in offices don't have the abilities that motorheads have.I began to learn this when I had my car crashed(坏了).The cost to repair it was estimated at 800."Hey,I can fix it,"said Jody.I doubted it,but let him go ahead,for I had nothing to lose.
My son,with other motorheads,fixed the car.They got parts(零件)from a junkyard,non-toasting toaster have been fixed.Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repair to him.
Since that first repair job,a broken air-conditioner,a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed.Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.
These kids are happiest when doing repairs.They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world.And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.
I have learned a lot from my motorhead:publishers need printers,engineers need mechanics,and architects need builders.Most important,I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.
My son may never make the school honor roll.But he made mine.
24.What used to be the author's hope for his son?D
A.To avoid becoming his clone.
B.To resemble(类似、像) him in appearance.
C.To develop in a different direction.
D.To reach the author's unachieved goals.
25.The author let his son repair the car because he believed thatC.
A.His son had the ability to fix it.
B.it would save him much time.
C.it wouldn't cause him any more loss
D.other motorheads would come to help.
26.In the author's eyes,motorheads areB.
A.tidy and hardworking    
B.cheerful and smart   
C.lazy but bright    
D.relaxed but rude
27.What did the author realize in the end?A
A.It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.
B.It is important for one to make the honor roll.
C.Architects play a more important role than builders.
D.Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.
