The elephant is the biggest fourlegged animal in the world. It is also, perhaps, the gentlest, but not always!
Elephants are like us in some ways。 They live for a long time ― fifty or sixty years。 They can remember things very well. They never forget great sadness or great happiness. If a female elephant dies, her daughters and her grand daughters are sad for many months。 They stay with the dead body. Then they carry a bit of it away with them. They never forget a dead friend。
Elephants are like us, but they are also different. They live in families of females. There will be a few young males ― a few “baby boys”. But the females
will soon send them away. An elephant family keeps only its daughters, mothers and its great grandmothers.
The females stay together for fifty, sixty。.。a hundred years。 The older animals look after the younger ones. The mothers teach their daughters and set a good example。
And what happens to male elephants? Well, the young males stay with their
mothers for a time。 Then they must leave the family。 The females just send them away。 A male elephant does not often have a friend. He lives apart away from the family, and often away from other male elephants. Sometimes the females call a male elephant。 He can visit them then, and stay for a time. But soon his “wife” and sisters send him away again. The females have a very happy family life。 What do the male elephants think about it? We don't know. 1。 In the elephant family, there are ____. A. females and, sometimes, a few young males B。 parents who live together
C. only bulls with their male friends
D. parents and all their babies living happily 2. An adult male elephant often ____.
A. lives together with his “wife” B。 lives by himself
C. has many female friends D。 has many male friends 3。 What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Elephant B. The Four legged Animal C。 The Female Elephant D。 The Elephant`s Family 4.Which is not right about elephants?
A。 They never forget a dead friend. B。 They live in families of males。 C。 The older animals look after the younger ones. D. A male elephant does not often have a friend. 5.What attitude of the author about the elephants? A。 friendly B.boring C.frightened D。interested B)
Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history。 Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way。 Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever。 Hundreds more are on the danger list today。 About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger。 Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than just beautiful and interesting. They are more than just a source of food。 Every animal has its place in the balance of nature 。 Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems。
For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice。 Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice。 With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly。
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem。 And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger。
Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animals or plants on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
1。 Animals are important to us mainly because____ 。 A. they give us a source of food B. they are beautiful and lovely C. they keep the balance of nature D。 they give us a lot of pleasure
2. What has happened to the animals on the earth?
A。 Hundreds of kinds of animals have disappeared forever. B。 Many kinds of animals have died out。
C. About 170 kinds of animals have disappeared forever。 D. All kinds of animals are in danger. 3。 Which of the following is NOT true?
A。 People care much about animals because they need them.
B. Once a certain kind of animals is gone forever, there will never be any more。 C。 Killing all rats and mice may cause some problems。 D. People must not kill any animals。
4. What can we infer from the fact that quite a few countries have passed laws protecting animals in danger?
A。 Every person will know the importance of protecting wild animals. B。 Animals in danger will not be killed any more。
C。 The number of some animals in danger will increase. D. Animals in danger will be kept away from people. 5。What attitude of the author about the elephants? A. opposite B.negative C。positive D.equal
C) There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill。 There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先)it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling?
If spelling become the only focal point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely toplay safe。 He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience:This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had feelings。 The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation(动力)to seek improvement.
11。 Teachers are different in their opinions about________. A) the necessity of teaching spelling
B) the role of spelling in general language development C) the way of teaching spelling
D) the complexities of the basic writing skills
12。 As used in the second paragraph, the expressionplay safemost probably means________。
A)to spell correctly B)to write smoothly C)to avoid using words one is not sure of D)to use dictionaries frequently 13. Teachers encourage the students to use dictionaries so that________. A)students will be able to write more freely B)students will be more skillful in writing C)students will be more confident in writing D)students will be independent enough
14. The author's tone is________.
A) ironic C) satirical B) practical D) critical 15. This passage mainly discusses________。 A)the necessity of spelling
B)the role of developing writing skills C)the complexities of spelling
D)the relationship between spelling and the content of writing 五.Writing(10分): Describe a job you want。 60-80words
