Modern man has cleared the forests for farmland and for wood, and has also carelessly burned them. More than that, though, he has also interfered with the invisible bonds between the living things in the forests. There are many examples of this kind of destruction. The harmfulness of man’s interference can be seen in what happened many years ago in the forest of the Kaibab plateau（凯亚巴布高原）of northern Arizona. Man tried to improve on the natural web of forest life and destroyed it instead.

The Kaibab had a storybook forest of large-sized pines, Douglas fir, white fir, blue and Engelmann spruce. In 1882 a visitor noted, "We, who have wandered through its forests and parks, have come to regard it as the most attractive region which we have the privilege to visit. “This was also the living place of the Rocky Mountain mule deer. Indians hunted there every autumn to gather meat and skins”. The forest also had mountain lions, timber wolves and bobcats that kept the deer from multiplying too rapidly.

Then, in 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt made the Kaibab a national game preserve. Deer hunting was forbidden. Government hunters started killing off the deer’s enemies. In 25 years’ time, 6,250 mountain lions, wolves and bobcats were killed. Before the program, there were about 4,000 deer in the Kaibab, and by 1924, there were about 100,000.

The deer ate every leaf and twig they could reach. But there was not nearly enough food. Hunting of deer was permitted again. This caused a slight decrease in the deer herd, but a far greater loss resulted from starvation and disease. Some 60 percent of the deer herd died in two winters. By 1930 the herd had dropped to 20,000 animals. By 1942 it was down to 8,000.

24．The destruction of the environment of the Kaibab resulted from_________ .

A. turning the forest into cultivated land

B. interfering with natural cycle of forest life

C. forest fires caused by man’s carelessness

D. cutting the trees for building materials

25．Engelmann spruce（Para. 2）is most likely the name of _________.

A. a tree    B. an animal    C. a mountain    D. a game

26．The number of the deer in the Kaibab had increased enormously in_________ years’ time.

A.25       B.6           C.18           D.12

27．Years later, large numbers of deer in the Kaibab died mainly because of _________.

A. the cold             B. the organized kill

C. the shortage of food   D. the poor management

Dear Miss Manners，

Friends of mine lost their home in a house fire. It was terrible. Another friend set up a “go fund me” type page for friends and to donate and help the couple. Many friends, including me, helped with money, meals, lamprey and their dog while they were getting back on their feet.

Last week, they sent thank­you notes. My roommate received one addressed to her and I did not. The note was a printed one­size­fits­all message. My roommate realized I didn't receive a thank­you note, so she sent a private message to the couple just letting them know I had been left out. I didn't know she had done this until later.

The next day, I got a text message apologizing and saying that I had been left out because their friend who addressed the notes must have missed me！(Miss Manners, they didn't even address the notes themselves！) It was accompanied by a picture of the thank-you note, which was texted to me with the message, “Here is a thank you just for you. ”

I was a little annoyed. I helped them in their need and didn't get a second thought. I have not responded to her text message. Is it fair of me to consider this friendship over? Should I tell her that I am upset, or should I accept that this rude thank you was better than nothing?

 Yours，                                                                        

                                                                           Mary

28．For what purpose did Mary write the letter?

A．To start a public donation for the unlucky couple.

B．To teach us how to see the true colors of friendship.

C．To tell us to learn a lesson from her story.

D．To ask for advice on how to deal with her annoyance.

29．From the letter we can infer that ________.

A．the couple lost their car in the fire so they had to go everywhere on foot

B．so far Mary hasn't received a thank­you note addressed to her

C．Mary's roommate sent the couple a message to blame their carelessness

D．the couple left Mary out by accident when they wrote the thank­you notes

30．What does Mary think of the couple she helped?

A.Careless    B．Considerate    C．Unbelievable    D．Ungrateful

31．The letter is most likely taken from ________.

A．a diary   B．a brochure     C．a newspaper     D．a report

People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus a great gift. You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat -- the normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.

No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail. Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are despised. As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him.

The idea never appealed to me very much, but one day, after a heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a walk on some of my prize plants. Acting on a sudden impulse(冲动), I collected several dozen, put them in a paper bag, and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift. I left the bag in the hall and Robert and I went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours. I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay for dinner. Snails would, of course, be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room. To our dismay, we saw that there were snails everywhere: they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall! I have never been able to look at a snail since then.

32．The underlined word “repulsive” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “_____”.

A. disgusting   B. pleasant   C. acceptable   D. delicious

33．We can infer from Paragraph 3 that when collecting the snails, the author____ .

A. was glad that he could share them with his friend

B. was angry because they might damage his beloved plants

C. thought that they would make a delicious dish

D. was depressed because it was hard to catch them all

34．The author finds that snails _______ .

A. are as delicious as octopus      B. are disliked in his hometown

C. are the most controversial food  D. are as popular as fried potatoes

35．The best title for the passage might be ______.

A. One Man’s Meat Is Another Man’s Poison            

B. Foods and Cultures

C. Snail and Octopus

D. People Are Illogical in Front of Delicacies　

Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying.    36    However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace(支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.

Brace yourself for impact (撞击力). As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the "ten and two" position.

Undo your seatbelt.   37   Unbuckle the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.

   38   Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking .

Break the window. If you aren't able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you'll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car.

   39  

Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival.   40   While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.

A. Open the window as soon as you hit the water.

B. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.

C. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.

D. Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.

E. In conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.

F. This is the first thing to attend to, yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.

G. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it.
