           Running like the wind, roaring （咆哮） like thunder, tigers have long been feared and respected as a king of the animal world．But last week a report said that there are no more than 30 wild tigers left in south China．
    This was the conclusion of a team of scientists from China's State Forestry Administration and the World Nature Fund．
    The South China tiger, also known as the Chinese tiger, is native to southern China．In the 1950's, there were over 4000 tigers found in mountain forests in the country．But due to the destruction of their natural habitat （栖息地） and uncontrolled hunting, it has been pushed on to the list of the world's top ten most endangered species．
    Sixty-six of the big cats can be found in the cages of a dozen zoos around China．But they are nothing like their wild cousins．They have lost their natural skills such as hunting and killing．If they were set free they could not look after themselves．
    "Breeding has damaged the quality of the species", said Pei Enle, deputy director of the Shanghai Zoo．
    To reintroduce the species into the wild, the country started a programme to send five to ten young tigers to South Africa．Four of them have already arrived．Progress has been made as two elder tigers have recovered some of their instincts（本能） and can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base．
    " South Africans are very experienced in reintroducing big animals to the wild．The country has very good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in", said Lu Jun, office director of the National Wildlife Research and Development Center．" We tried in Fujian Province, but it was not successful as there was not a complete eco-chain（生物链） and there was a lack of space．"
    The tigers should return to China in 2007 when the reservations in Fujian are ready．
    小题1:What is the main reason for the South China tiger becoming one of the world's top ten most endangered species?
    A．Because it has lost its natural instincts．
    B．Because there is not a complete eco-chain．
    C．Because there is no space for it．
    D．Because uncontrolled hunting has destroyed its natural living conditions．
    小题2:How is the programme of sending several tigers to South Africa getting on?
    A．Its effect still remains to be seen．
    B．Two tigers can already compete with their wild cousins．
    C．Some of the tigers are already on the road to recovering their natural skills．
    D．The tigers should be able to recover their instincts completely by 2007．
    小题3:By saying " but they are nothing like their wild cousins", the writer means that ______．
    A．they are no longer feared by other wild animals
    B．they don't know how to hunt or kill
    C．a complete change has resulted in the species because of breeding
    D．to reintroduce them into the wild has become an urgent task
    小题4:What is the purpose of sending young tigers to South Africa?
    A．To help the tigers recover their ability to live in the wild．
    B．To provide them with a better environment．
    C．To get the tigers to go on a tour．
    D．To find a complete eco-chain for them．
    小题5:Which one is not the reason for South Africa being chosen as the training place?
    A．Because the tigers can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base．
    B．Because South Africans are skilled at dealing with the tigers．
    C．Because there is a complete eco-chain and enough space there．
    D．Because the country has good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in．

    Ⅲ 阅读（共两节，满分40分）
    第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    Can you believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.
    Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力) of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.
    The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.
    Next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Here’s where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles — making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles — so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.
    When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren’t fooled — they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.
    As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. In other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, they’re more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.
    41．Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate        .
    A．children’s and adults’ eye-sight
    B．people’s ability to see accurately
    C．children’s and adults’ brains
    D．the influence of people’s age
    42．When asked to find the larger circle,        .
    A．children at 6 got it wrong 79 % of the time with no gray ones around
    B．only adults over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray ones around
    C．children at 4 got it right about 79 % of the time with gray ones around
    D．adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around
    43．According to the passage, we can know that        .
    A．a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background
    B．an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size
    C．a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size
    D．a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size
    44．Visual context may work when children get older than        .
    A．4                           B．6                            C．10                          D．18
    45．Why are younger children not fooled?
    A．Because they are smarter than older children and adults.
    B．Because older people are influenced by their experience.
    C．Because people’s eyes become weaker as they grow older.
    D．Because their brain can hardly notice related things together.

    Toucans(巨嘴鸟), a kind of tropical birds known for its colorful beak, are very smart. In Mexico, my dad became friends with a toucan that was in a “walk in and see the birds” cage. The toucan was so smart that it knew how to get out. It just needed some human to help it. It almost flew out while we were leaving!
    I also noticed that all toucans have different beaks! They also have very long unique beaks with an extremely long tongue. It struts(大摇大摆地走) around with its chest sticking out and beak pointed forward. The toucan is a beautiful bird! The beak has a red tip (different shades on every one), but sometimes there is a little turquoise on the bottom half. Then, right where the beak separates there is a splotch of yellow. And the rest of the beak is green. The toucan takes very much pride of itself.
    The toucan eats fruit and seeds. The ramphastidae(the toucan family) is known for its long beak, and 37 species. Toucans also feed on insects, small lizards, bird nestlings and eggs. They nest in hollow trees where they incubate and care for their young.They are found in the woody areas.
    Of the various toucan facts, here is an odd one. Citizens of Central and South America associate the toucans with evil spirits. They think the birds can be the personification of evils. Where couvades(父代母育) is practiced, the father of a new child must not eat toucan flesh as it is believed to bewitch the new-born child. Yet the toucan can also be a tribal totem(图腾). So the medicine men use it as a symbol to fly to the spirit world.
    60. 小题1:Which of the following words is NOT suitable to describe toucans?
    A．IntelligentB．ConfidentC．DangerousD．Colorful
    61. 小题2:The second paragraph mainly talks about _______.
    A．where toucans strut aroundB．how toucans get food
    C．what toucans look likeD．when toucans lay eggs
    62. 小题3:What does the underlined word“incubate”probably mean in paragraph 3?
    A．Hatch eggsB．Take coverC．Gather strengthD．Keep warm
    63. 小题4:We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.
    A．all citizens of Central and South America are afraid of toucans
    B．the toucans can also be used as medicine to cure diseases
    C．a new child must not eat toucan flesh because it is poisonous
    D．some people believe toucans can bring them misfortune

    The term “formal learning” refers to all learning which takes place in the classroom regardless of whether such learning is informed by conservative or progressive ideologies(思想意识). “Informal learning”, on the other hand, is used to refer to learning which takes place outside the classroom.
    These definitions(定义) provide the basic difference between the two models of learning. Formal learning is separated from daily life and may actually promote ways of learning and thinking which often run counter to those obtained form practical daily life. A characteristic feature of formal learning is the centrality of activities which can prepare for the changes of adult life outside the classroom, but it cannot, by its nature, consist of these challenges.
    In doing this, language plays an important role as a major channel for information exchange.  The language of the classroom is more similar to the language used by middle-class families than that used by working-class families. Middle class children thus find it easier to gain the language of the classroom than their working-class classmates.
    Informal learning, in contrast, occurs in the setting to which it relates, making learning immediately relevant (相关的). In this context, language does not occupy such an important role: the child's experience of learning is more direct, involving sight, touch, taste, and smell senses that are not used in the classroom. Whereas formal learning is transmitted by teachers selected to perform this role, informal learning is gained as a natural part of child's socialization. Adults or older children who are proficient (熟练的) in skill or activity provide-----sometimes unintentionally (无意义地)---target models of behavior in the course of everyday activity.
    Informal learning, therefore, can take place at any time and place. The motivation of learner provides another important difference between the two models of learning. The formal learner is generally motivated by some kind of external goal such as parental approval, social status, and possible financial reward. The informal learner, however, tends to be motivated by successful completion of the task itself and the partial knowledge of adult status.
    Given that learning systems develop as a response to the social and economic contexts in which they are firmly, it is understandable that modern, high urbanized (城市化) societies have concentrated almost specially on the establishment of formal education systems. What these societies have failed to recognize are the ways in which formal learning inhibits the child's multi-sensory acquisition of practical skills. The failure to provide a child with a direct education may in part account for many of the social problems which trouble our societies.
    67. Formal learning and informal learning are mainly told differences by_________.
    A. the place where they take place
    B. the kind of knowledge to be obtained
    C. the people who learn
    D. the language used in instruction
    68. The language used in classroom instruction explains________.
    A. how learning can take place efficiently
    B. why it is not easy for children of working-class families to get high scores
    C. why informal learning is more important
    D. why formal learning does not work with children of middle-class families
    69. In informal learning_________.
    A. children usually follow the examples of adults to shape their own behavior
    B. children's learning is more direct
    C. children are highly motivated by the learning activity it self
    D. all of the above
    70. The author's attitude towards the present state of formal learning is _______.
    A. agreeable             B. critical
    C. suspecting            D. indifferent（不关心的）

    The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago; but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute mean to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
    Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in a place, men moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
    Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad to all living things in the world, but it is not only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.
    Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop the people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air.
    The pollution of SO2 is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
    The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must keep careful of the rise in pollution at the same time.

    If you don’t use a dictionary. What should you do instead? The first thing you can do is trying to guess what the word means. Often the surrounding context gives a very clear idea of the meaning of the word. Even if you can’t work out the meaning exactly, you may be able to get a vague idea, enough to enable you to continue reading.
    Sometimes It is impossible to guess the meaning of a word from the context and then you will have to decide whether the word is important enough to make it worthwhile stopping and looking it up in a dictionary or whether you can just pass it by.
    Many times in your reading, you will come across words which you don’t know, but which do not prevent you from understanding all the main points of the text. You can made your dictionary use much more efficient if you only look up the words which are necessary to understand the text. and this means that you must develop the skill to decide whether the words are worth looking up.

    A．without knowledge of English
    B．when we look up words in a dictionary

    We look forward to having you join us on this unusual journey.
    Sincerely,
    Michela English
