Oscar-winning director Ang Lee' s new epic "Life of Pi" reveals the relationship between a teenage Indian boy and a Bengal tiger. But in reality, the predators(食肉动物)are under increasing threat from humans. Animal rights group PETA is hoping to use the popularity of the film to focus people's attention on the real life of Bengal tigers.

With the rising demand for tiger parts from East Asia, illegal hunting remains a tremendous danger for the remaining cat population. Back in 1947, there were 40,000 tigers in India, but the number is experiencing a sharp decline t0 1,706 despite campaigns to protect the animal.

Rising man-animal conflict is also one of the leading causes of decline in tiger numbers. In one of numerous reported attacks on the endangered big cats, villagers near The Bangladesh-India border, armed with sticks and boat oars, set upon the animal suspected to have attacked a local fisherman and beat it to death earlier this month. So far this year, 58 tiger deaths have been reported in the country.

"The first instinct when a tiger is spotted is to just kill it,"grieved Gurmeet Sapal, a wildlife filmmaker. "The feeling of fear and revenge is so strong that it shuts out any other emotion. What we don' t realize is that the tiger never attacks humans until it is forced to. "'

India has been struggling to stop the tiger's decline in the face of the loss of habitat as well that encourages the animals to leave the forest for food. " The tiger's rapidly exhausted prey base causes the predator to go al! out to get its food. Consequently, livestock and human beings become easy prey, which leads inevitably to conflict," says a wildlife conservationist.

Filmmaker Sapal says it is only normal for people to think of the tiger as a dangerous animal, but its image as a human killer bears some injustice. "Tigers never kill for sport nor store meat. They kill their prey only in case of hunger. "

1.How can PETA take advantage over the hot movie “ Life of Pi ”?

A. PETA can count on the movie to promote people' s awareness of tiger' s life.

B. PETA can make enough money by encourage people to watch the movie.

C. The movie demonstrates that humans and tigers can live in harmony.

D. The movie offers a wonderful opportunity for movie to act in.

2.Why did the villagers beat the tiger to death?

A. Because it was a human killer and attempted to attack people.

B. Because it was suspected to be a threat to local people' s lives.

C. Because local people just followed their instinct to kill it.

D. Because people wanted to carry out their revenge for it.

3.According to the article, when will tigers attack and kill people?

A. When they are annoyed by people.

B. When they have conflict with people.

C. When they are driven to act in the movie.

D. When they are hungry or attacked.

4.What contributes to the facts that livestock and human beings become easy target of tigers?

A. It is easier for tigers to hunt human beings than other animal for food.

B. Tigers are losing their habitat and forced to go out of the woods.

C. People hold a strong belief that tigers are a born threat to their lives.

D. Tigers can't be treated equally as other animal in the forest

The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat's days were 31 . The doctor had said there wasn't anything more that could be done, that he should take the Cat home and make him as 32 as possible.

The man put the Cat on his lap and 33 .The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear

34 down the Man's cheek and 35 on the Cat's forehead. The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.

" Why do you cry, Man?" the Cat asked. "Because you can't 36 the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?" The Man 37 "yes".

"And where do you think I'll be 38 I leave you?" the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. " 39

your eyes, Man," the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.

"What color are my eyes and fur?" the Cat asked. " Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown," the Man replied.

"And where is it that you most often 40 me?" asked the Cat. “I see you. . . on the kitchen window

41 the birds …,on my favorite chair. . . on my desk lying on the papers I need. . . on the pillow next to my

42 at night. " "Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes," said the Cat.

“Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my ‘toy’ .” he Man opened his eyes, then 43 over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to 44 himself

for hours with it. '"Now take each end of the string in one hand," the Cat ordered. The Man did so.

"The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my 45 . Now bring the two ends together," the Cat said. The Man obeyed.

"You have made a continuous 46 ," said the cat. "Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?" The Man inspected the string and then 47 his head " no".

The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the 48 , then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and 49 his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held in his hand.

One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was lovely and white…very different from his earlier 50 Cat and very much the same.

President Coolidge’s statement, “The business of America is business,” still points to a very important truth today — that business organizations have more prestige (威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions still possess this great prestige?

One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the idea of competition than other organizations in society. Since competition is seen as the main source of progress and development by most Americans, competitive business organizations are respected. Competition is not only good in itself; it is the means by which other basic American values, such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.

Competition protects the individual freedom by making sure that there is no monopoly (垄断) of power. Compared with one and all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for benefit. If one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to the competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Since there are many businesses competing for the customers’ dollars, they cannot afford to treat them unfairly and the customers would lose nothing.A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it gives more support for freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people while business leaders are not. Many Americans believe that competition is as important, or even more important, as democracy in protecting freedom.

Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the idea of equal opportunities. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to any person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American choice of the higher social position which is not based on one’s family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equal opportunities.

1.Which of the following is discussed as the main topic in the passage?

A．Competition in America’s business. B．Freedom in America’s business.

C．Americans’ different values. D．Business against government.

2.Americans believe that they can realize their personal values ______.

A．when given equal opportunities

B．through doing business

C．by protecting their individual freedom

D．by means of competition

3.Who can benefit from business competition?

A．Businessmen who compete.

B．Customers of those businesses.

C．People with the idea of equality and freedom.

D．Both business organizations and government.

4.It could be inferred from the passage that the author believes ______.

A．business in other countries are not as competitive as those in the USA

B．business problems are very important to the American government

C．the competition in business plays a very important role in America

D．American business is the most powerful one in the whole world

The home of the future won’t be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today．But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams．No two homes will be the same．People will be able to buy “house kits” containing a basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows．They will put together the different parts to create the home they want．

Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won’t disappear because machines can’t replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today．

Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won’t be for everyone because they won’t be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centres on the moon with leisure facilities for families．

Paper won’t exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reuseable paper．

The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear some time in the future．This isn’t going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes (爆炸)．We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet. There won’t be any other choice.
