It is reported that conservation groups 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, 1aws 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 (獵物) will disappear some day. And the wolves will, too. So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology(生態(tài)平衡). 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 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 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 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.Some people are against killing wolves because ________.
|
A.there are too many deer in the wilderness |
|
B.wolves are afraid of people and never attack people |
|
C.wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wilderness |
|
D.there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness |
2.According to those against killing wolves, when wolves eat other animals, ________.
|
A.they might help this kind of animals survive in nature |
|
B.they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness |
|
C.they never eat strong and healthy ones |
|
D.they always go against the law of nature |
3.The last sentence “And everyone knows what happens next” implies that in such cases _______.
|
A.wolves will find enough food sources on farms |
|
B.people will leave the areas where wolves can live |
|
C.farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped away |
|
D.wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill them |

Imagine that the genome (基因組) is a book.The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels.There are one billion words in the book, as long as 800 Bibles; if I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me centuries; if I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube.This is a huge volume, a book of great length, but it all fits inside an extremely small cell nuclear(細胞核) that fits easily upon the head of a pin.
The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor.It is true to a great extent.A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings.So is a genome.The only difference is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right while some from right to left, but never both at the same time.
While English books are written in words of different lengthens using twenty-six letters, genomes are written entirely in words of three-letter length, using only four letters, and instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules (分子).
The genome is a very clever book, because in the right condition it can both photocopy itself and read itself.
1.How do human genomes read according to the passage?___________
|
A.Only from left to right. |
|
B.Only from right to left. |
|
C.From both directions at the same time. |
|
D.From one direction at a time. |
2.We can learn from the passage that the human genome ________.
|
A.is as long as the River Danube |
|
B.can be easily placed on the head of a pin |
|
C.is coded with an alphabet of four letters |
|
D.is smart enough to read and take photos of itself |
3.It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for ______.
|
A.specialists in the field |
|
B.general readers |
|
C.natural scientists |
|
D.readers with professional knowledge |
4.The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is _____.
|
A.to focus on the differences between the two |
|
B.to lay emphasis on the similarities between the two |
|
C.to simplify the concept of the human genome |
|
D.to give an exact description of the human genome |

It’s a nightmare for Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST): within a week,two students committed suicide by jumping off dorm buildings.對于整個華中科技大學來說,這簡直就是場噩夢:一周之內,兩名學生在宿舍跳樓自殺。
Officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews.校方官員們不愿接受采訪。
“We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides,” said Zhang Jingyuan,one official of HUST.
“Media coverage may arouse some students’ negative emotions again.Suicide can be contagious,” Zhang said.他說,“媒體的報道將會再次引發(fā)學生的消極情緒,自殺是會傳染的!
The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23.對于今年10月23號發(fā)生的第一起自殺事件,華中科技大學迅速做出應急措施。
Advisors and class leaders conducted dorm-to-dorm checks to find students suffering depression.Then psychologists offered one-on-one counseling to them.輔導員和班長們走訪了每個宿舍,找出遭遇抑郁的學生。然后,心理咨詢師會為這些學生提供一對一的心理咨詢。
Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers’ mental problems and offering help were set up in front of dorm buildings.Leaflets carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm.宿舍樓前豎起一些布告欄,為同學們普及關于如何發(fā)現身邊人遭遇心理問題并提供幫助的小貼士。印有類似內容的小冊子也被分發(fā)給每個寢室。
However,the second suicide came seven days later.然而,七天后,第二起自殺事件發(fā)生了。
Both students were described as men of few words.Their schoolmates didn’t see anything to indicate suicide.據周圍人描述,這兩名學生都很少言寡語。他們的同學都沒有覺察到任何自殺前的征兆。
Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders.But the school didn’t know this until the students’ close friends outside school and their parents unveiled the truth after the suicides.章勁元透露,這兩名學生曾經飽受心理疾病的困擾。但是學校對此并不知情,他們校外的好友和家長也是在自殺事件發(fā)生后才說出實情。
According to Zhang,there are only three full-time counselors working in the university’s counseling center for its 60,000 students.He complained: “It’s unrealistic to rely only on counselors to detect students’ mental problems.”據章勁元說,全校共有六萬名學生,但學校的心理咨詢中心只有三位全職心理咨詢師。他抱怨說:“僅僅依靠心理咨詢師來察覺學生的心理問題,這是不現實的!
Effective prevention comes from long-term education for life instead of temporary intervention to meet an emergency,said Hu Yi’an.Hu delivers a course of lectures on life and death at Guangzhou University.He worries that universities have paid little attention to education for life.有效的預防來自于長期的生命教育,而并非遭遇緊急狀況時的臨時干預,胡毅安(音譯)說。他在廣州大學教授以生命和死亡為主題的課程。他為各大高校給予生命教育的關注少之又少而擔憂。
“Education for life helps students respect and love life so they won’t resort to ending their lives when they have difficulties,” said Hu.“生命教育可以幫助學生尊重、熱愛生命,這樣一來,當他們遇到困難的時候就不會選擇結束生命了,” 胡毅安說。
According to Hu,the principles can be incorporated into everyday teaching.胡毅安還表示,這些觀念可以融入到日常教學中去。
Hu is also concerned that some universities are conveying discriminatory message that will hold back students from seeking help.胡老師也很擔心一些大學傳遞出帶有歧視性的信息會使得學生們不愿去尋求幫助。
When HUST conducted the dorm-to-dorm examination,students with poor academic performance were paid special attention.In March,Peking University also released a controversial policy,which required teachers to have a chat with students “with biased thinking”.當華中科技大學校方挨個宿舍進行走訪時,學習成績較差的學生也被給予了特別關照。三月份,北京大學也推行了一項備受爭議的政策,該新規(guī)要求教師們要找那些學生中的“激進分子”談話。
However,Hu suggested that students step out of their comfort zone to seek real-life communication.
1.The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
|
A.willing |
B.unhappy |
C.refused |
D.decided |
2.Which measure the university took to the first suicide is incorrect?

下面文章中有5處(第66~70題)需要添加小標題。請從以下選項(A、B、C、D、E和F)中選出符合各段意思的小標題,并在答題卡上將相應選項的標號涂黑。選項中有一項是多余選項。
A. Explore All Your Talents
B. Be Ready for the Up-coming Competition
C. Set a Down-to-Earth Goal
D. Prepare Yourself Emotionally
E. Look for a Competitive College
F. Consider Talent Search Programs in Junior High
Many aspects of college planning are the same for most college-bound students. However, if you’re in any academically gifted and talented program, you have additional things to think about. Here are some actions you should consider.
66.______
Talent search programs provide educational opportunities for seventh-and eighth-graders who are mathematically or verbally talented. Some of these programs use SAT scores to identify academically gifted students. Although most students take the SAT in junior or senior year of high school, gifted and talented student often take it earlier.
67. ______
Many gifted students have the potential to succeed in multiple academic areas. Don't miss opportunities by focusing too early on one that you excel in; carefully examine all your strengths and interests. Discover what you really like to study and the topics you may want to pursue in college. Pursue your interest and passion for learning to the fullest extent possible while you’re still in high school.
68. ______
Gifted students often feel that they have to be accepted by very competitive colleges to be considered successful. And while a competitive college may be the right place for you, don’t let selectivity be the only factor. The most important aspect of college planning is finding a college that’s a good fit.
69. ______
Many gifted students are used to being at the top of their junior high and high school classes. Be prepared to meet other gifted students in college — students who do just as well as you, or better, in the classroom. It can be unsettling. Handle it by staying focused on your own studies and skills and aiming to do your personal best.
70. ______
Although your academic qualifications and abilities may exceed those of your high school classmates, your age is the same as theirs. High school is a time for adolescence, while college requires emotional maturity. A 15-year-old high school graduate may not be prepared to live on a campus 1,000 miles from home with other students who are 18 and older. Think about what you are ready for emotionally, as well as academically, when you’re narrowing down your college list.

How to Become a Better Student
Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:
1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
3. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
