Starting in 1972，the National Park Service established a policy for forest fires called Natural Burn．It was acknowledged that some forest fires，such as those which were caused by lighthing were necessary for forests to maintain(保持)balanced ecosystems，so the fire should be allowed to burn．However， a big fire in Yellowstone National Park in 1988 caused this policy to be abandoned since the fire was initially（最初）allowed to burn yet soon out of contro1．As a result，the fire of 1988 destroyed much of Yellowstone，which is America’s oldest and most beloved national park．Massive areas of plants were destroyed，and large empty spaces and acres of burned and blackened trees greeted visitors．The rivers and streams were choked with ash，and the ecosystem of the park was changed beyond repair．In addition，great numbers of animals were killed by the fires that burned out of control. The fires were driven by high winds，moving as many as ten miles a day．Many small animals died in the flames．The fires’rapid advances gave the wildlife little chance to escape．Even today，few of these small forest animals have returned to live in the park. In the years immediately following the fires，the numbers of visitors declined rapidly．No one was interested in seeing a blackened and treeless park on vacation．Yellowstone had previously been famous for its amazing views and unique geological formations such as the geyser(喷泉)Old Faithful．But now its reputation as America‘s wonder is damaged permanently．41．Natural Burn was adopted because some forest fires were ______________A. hard to put out B．started by lightningC. good for the balance of nature D．approved by National Park Service42．The big fire in Yellowstone in 1988 _______________．A．became out of control at firstB．brought the natural burn policy to an endC．was allowed to burn continuouslyD．destroyed the park completely43．Why were so many animals killed in the big fire?A． Because winds were blown from high places．B． Because the animals moved only ten miles a day．C． Because the animals lived in lower places．D. Because strong winds contributed to the fire a lot．44．Yellowstone was famous for its ______________．A．rare animals B．unique plants C．beautiful scenery D．1ittle streams45. The text probably comes from _____________． A．a geography magazine B．a news reportC．a commercial ad D．a science fiction B
Today we’ll talk about reading．When we read a text，our eyes move across a page in short，quick movements．We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate(停留，凝视)．Each time they fixate，we see a group of words．This is known as the recognition span or the visual span(视幅)．The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person．It also varies within any parson according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text．In addition，it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately，in the past，many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page．As a result of this misleading emphasis(强调)on the purely visual aspects of reading，many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation．For example，in some exercises，words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second．One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point，taking in the words on either side．Such word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids(金字塔)，so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive（连续的）fixation．All these exercises are very clever，but it‘ s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words．Consequently，for these reasons，many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training，especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated(孤立的)words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text． 46．The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following factors except ______________.A．1ighting and tirednessB. the length of a group of wordsC．one’s purpose in readingD．one’s familiarity with the text47．The author may believe that reading ______________.A．requires a reader to take in more words at each fixationB．requires a reader to see words more quicklyC．demands a deeply-participating mindD．demands more eyes than mind48．What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?A．The ability to see words is not needed for an efficient reading．B．The reading exercises mentioned are useless for reading.C．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help improve reading.D．The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job so far.49．Which of the following is NOT true? _______________．A．The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each timeB．Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye trainingC．The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleadingD．The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text50．The tune of the author in writing this text is _________________．A．critical B．neutral C．supportive D．optimisticC
No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world，but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million．The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada．In the United Kingdom，about one in ten people have some disability．Disability is not just something that happens to other people：as we get older，many of us will become less mobile，hard of hearing or have failing eyesight．Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life．Some people are born with disabilities．Many others become disabled as they get older．There are many progressive(逐渐的)disabling diseases．The longer time goes on，the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents．Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness．All are affected by people’s attitude towards them．Disabled people face many physical barriers．Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends，imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps，or onto buses and trains．How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers：prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents the greatest barrier of all．It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through，so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability，not their disability，that counts．51．The first paragraph mainly points out that ______________．A．there are many disabled people in the worldB．the number of disabled people in India is the greatestC．India has much more disabled people than CanadaD．it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world’s disabled people52．The key word in paragraph 4 is _______________．A. disability B．ignorance C．prejudice D．barriers53．The last word of the text“counts”most probably means ____________．A．is most important B．is considered C．is included D．is numbered54．Which of the following statements is NOT true? ________________．A．even the able-bodied may become disabled in some wayB．the disabled prefer to be ignored by the able-bodiedC．prejudice against the disabled should be removedD．The disabled make up about 10 percent in the UK’s population55．It can be concluded from the passage that ______________．A．we should try our best to prevent disablementB．physical and metal barriers are equally hard to break downC．we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledD．all of us will be disabled at a certain time of our lifeD
It is widely acknowledged that it is by no means an easy task to bring up a child well. And our ancestors already understood it well．“It takes an entire village to raise a child．”That’s an old proverb that is being quoted more and more often these days．And I’m pleased about that．Today，more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents,community members and businesses to help shape a child’s future.Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways．Helping children with homework and studying，going on a field trip，teaching a craft(手工艺)or coaching a child‘s sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child‘s education．And don’t forget to communicate with teachers — they need and respect your input．Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together．It’s important to stay in touch with your child‘s education all through his or her school career．Communities can help children create and achieve new goals．Help with homework, read to a child，coach a children‘s team，or provide emotional support．Help solve problems and build self-esteem(自尊).Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom． Businesses can also help shape our children’s future．invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace．You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities．Show students what goes on during a typical day．Give a mini course for students：how to use a computer；how products are made；how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician，teacher，nurse，or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.It really does take an entire village to raise a child．So share the responsibility— and the joy— of bringing a child to his or her full potential．56．The implied advice in the proverb“It takes an entire village to raise a child．” is that ____________．A．All the people in a village should give food to a childB．More than one party is responsible for a child’s futureC．Children should be brought up in the village where they were bornD．Schools should be set up in the village where a child was raised57．According to the text，_____________ should talk with teachers to keep in touch with children’s growth?A．community members B．businessesC．organizations D．parents 58．The text was written mainly for ______________．A．newspaper reporters and developing electricians B．school teachers and studentsC．parents and members in organizations D．education experts and government officials59．Students can get developed in practical working skill through ___________.A．business training B communlty activitiesC．parental involvement D．school teaching60．Which of the following can be the main idea of idea text?A．Parents play an important part in children’s education．B．Communities have no effect on the way to new and high ideals．C．Parents and other organizations should all be responsible for children’s growthD．Businesses may arrange softie training courses for students．E
Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are，it is the same with the challenges that come withfriendship．When we are faced with a challenge，we usually have two choices. We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn’t worth the trouble and call it quits．Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do，in most cases all that is needed is commitment(承诺)and communication．When we are committed to something， it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is，we will always choose to face it through instead of running away from it．Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. If you can say to a friend，“I got my feelings hurt．” rather than“You hurt my feelings．”you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster．In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you,try to see them for what they are：small hurdles you need to jump or get through on your way through life．Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over,and hurt only serves to make us stronger．It is all part of growing up，it happens to everyone，and some day you will look back on all of this and say,“Hard as it was，it made me who I am today．And that is a good thing．”61．What is the underlined word“committed”can be replaced by ____________.A．devoted B satisfied C．smpdsed D．interested62．It can be inferred from the text that _____________．A. friendship needs challengesB．challenges shape our characterC．small hurdles aren’t worth the troubleD. commitment promotes friendship63．The writer suggests that _____________ when faced with a challenge．A. one should call it quitsB. one should temporarily run away from itC. one should be committed and communicableD．one should lay it aside for a while64．According to the passage，if your friend hurts your feelings，you are well advised to _______________．A．forget it B．talk to him／her about it directlyC．communicate properly with him／her D．run away from it65．The whole passage is centered on the relationship between _____________．A．friendship and challengesB．commitment and communicationC．communication and friendshipD．challenges and the ways to get through
