         Edward Wilson is America's, if not the world's, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us
    on a tour of the world's natural resources (资源). How are they used? What has been lost? What
    remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to
    understand fully the biodiversity (生物多样性) of our earth.
         Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment (环境) protection, Henry David
    Thoreau. He compares today's Walden Pond with that of Thoreau's day. Wilson will use such
    comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over
    the years. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to
    support us in the future?
         Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our
    agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species (物种) are the basis of our food
    supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten
    thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural
    homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.
          At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the
    environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas in this
    book.

    1. We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about ______.

    A. the environment for plants
    B. the biodiversity of our earth
    C. the waste of natural resources
    D. the importance of human values

    2. How many species are most important to our present food supply?

    A. Twenty.  
    B. Eighty.
    C. One hundred.  
    D. Ten thousand.

    3. Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to ______.

    A. learn how to farm scientifically
    B. build homes for some dying species
    C. make it clear what to eat
    D. use more species for food

    4. We can infer that the text is ________.
    A. a description of natural resources
    B. a research report
    C. a book review
    D. an introduction to a scientist

         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,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.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.That 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 EXCEPT 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

         How words came into being is unknown.All we assume(推测)is that some early men invented certain
    sounds,in one way or another,to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things,so that they
    could talk with each other.Later they agreed upon certain signs,called letters,which could be put
    together to show those sounds,and which could be written down.Those sounds,whether spoken or
    written in letters,are called words.
        The power of words,then,lies in their associations-the things they bring up to our minds.Words
    become filled with meaning for us by experience;and the longer we live,the more certain words bring
    back to us the happy and sad events of our past;and the more we read and learn,the more the
    number of words that mean something to us increases.
        Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words
    which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings.This clever use of words is what we call literary
    style(文体). Above all,the real poet is a master of words.He can express his meaning in words which
    sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore
    learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly,or they will make our speech silly and
    common.

    1. We learn from the text that language might have begun with ________.

    A. expressions     
    B. actions
    C. signs  
    D. sounds

    2. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?

    A. The learning of new words.
    B. The importance of old words.
    C. The relation of human experience with words.
    D. The gradual change and development of words.

    3. In the last paragraph,what does the author suggest that we should do?

    A. Use words skilfully.
    B. Make musical speeches.
    C. Learn poems by heart.
    D. Associate with listeners.

         For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshoppingwatching TV and buying things by phone.
      1   In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes,jewelry,
    food, toys, and many other things.
          2      For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European
    countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the
    French spend about $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
          In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then
    the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the
    largest American teleshopping company and a 24hour teleshopping company.   3  
         Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their
    homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time,
    other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping.    4    Many Europeans usually worry about the
    quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them,and they believe they cannot be
    sure about the quality of the things on TV.
            5   They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to
    w ork harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.

    A. Now teleshopping is starting in European.
    B. They call teleshopping “Junk on the air”.
    C. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.
    D. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping    will help them sell more things.
    E. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different
        from the  American companies.
    F. Teleshopping is popular among people.
    G. German teleshopping business is controlled by American.

    Dear Sir,
         How are you? As a exchange student,I am writing to tell you I would prefer to move into a single
    room in next term,as I find it inconvenient to share a room with others. My roommate often held parties
    at night, made much noise. Besides, his friends are always visiting him, that disturb me a lot. So I hope
    to draw your attentions to this problem. If you think in my position,I am sure he will agree that the only
    solution for me is get a room of my own,one not in the same building but as near to the school campus
    as possible. I would be gratefully if you could do me the favor.
    Best wishes.
