         How can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters
    of water per day survive in a desert environment?
          In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert
    elephant does just that.
         Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in
    many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across
    sandy surfaces, They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks (象牙), and most
    importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.
         Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have
    a larger group of families. They drink only every 3-4 days, and can store water in a "bag" at the back of
    their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders-they seldom root
    up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Young elephants
    may even eat the dung (粪便) of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage.
         During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase
    greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine (尿液) to make them muddy!
         As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as
    extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.
    1. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means"_____ ".
    A. remains in the African countries
    B. drinks 120 liters of water a day
    C. manages to live in desert areas
    D. eats 150 kilograms of food daily
    2. Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _____.
    A. rarely ruin trees
    B. drink only every 3-4 days
    C. search for food in large groups
    D. protect food sources for their young
    3. The author answers the question raised in the first paragraph with _____.
    A. stories and explanation
    B. facts and descriptions
    C. examples and conclusion
    D. evidence and argument
    4. What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?
    A. Overheating the earth can be stopped.
    B. Not all animal species are so adaptable.
    C. The planet will become hotter and hotter.
    D. Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    Having divorced (离婚) my dad, my mom had to move frequently in order to find a job that would provide her with enough money to support the big family. For three years, we lived in the town of Parkersburg. On the first Christmas there, my brothers and I had been well prepared for a holiday without presents. But we had a surprise on Christmas Eve.
    At midnight, we were woken up by someone shouting at our front door, “Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!” We jumped up and ran to the door to find no one there, but several boxes and bags! Not only were there gifts, which were our favorite, but there were also clothes and food. Each of us kids, as well as Mom, had gifts with our names on them. And the clothes all fit us!
    Another year went by and on Christmas Eve, we again got boxes and bags full of goodies. The next year we moved. We were in the same town but across the other side. Mom was beginning to get on her feet. Since we had moved and Mom had a better job, we were quite certain that “Santa” wouldn’t visit us that year. But we were wrong!
    Those “Santa” visits restored in me the belief in the goodness of mankind, though to this day we don’t know who our helper was.
    When we grew up, Mom moved to Virginia. She had some extra money one Christmas. She sent it to me and let us know her decision. We then took action. My husband and children had so much fun buying and wrapping presents for the needy family we had chosen. On Christmas Eve, we allowed the excited kids to stay up late to be part of our secret “Santa” project.
    Such satisfaction there was in being able to pass on the gift of love to others who needed it. And the gift goes on!

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分）

    Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive, hardly knowing whether to return or move forward, when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent. It was a tall young man, smoking.

    He had an almost black face, though red and smooth. His moustache was black with curled points, though he could not be more than twenty, three or four. There was an unusual force in his face, and in his daring rolling eyes.

    "Well, my beauty, what can I do for you?" said he, coming forward. And seeing that she was quite at a loss: "Never mind me. I am Mr. d'Urberville. Have you come to see me or my mother?"

    This differed greatly from what Tess had expected. She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face. She tried to keep calm and answered, "I came to see your mother, sir."

    "I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed," replied the representative of the house; for this was Mr.Alee, the only son of the noble family."What is the business you wish to see her about?"

    "It isn't business—it is— I can hardly say what!"

    "Pleasure?"

    "Oh no. Why, sir, if I tell you, it will seem—"

    Tess's sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here, her rosy lips curved(弯曲) towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man.

    "It is so foolish," she stammered(急急巴巴地说); "I fear I can't tell you!"

    "Never mind; I like foolish things. Try again, my dear," said he kindly.

    "Mother asked me to come," Tess continued; 'and, indeed, I was in the mind to do so myself. But I did not think it would be like this.I came, sir,to tell you that we are of the same family as you."

    "Ho! Poor relations?"

    "Yes."

    'Stokes?'

    "No; d'Urbervilles."

    "Ay, ay; I mean d'Urbervilles."

    "Our names are wom away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d'Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are,and we have an old seal(印章) and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we've lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living."

    "Very kind of your mother, I'm sure.' Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy. 'And so, my pretty girl, you've come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?"

    "I suppose I have," looking less confident and uncomfortable again.

    "Well-there's no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?"

                                      —Tess of the d'Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy

    61. How does Tess feel in the whole course of the meeting with Alec?

          A. Excited and hopeful.          B. Nervous and uncomfortable.

          C. Surprised but comfortable.           D. Pleased but embarrassed.

    62. In the eyes of Tess, Alec is _______________.

          A. forceful and daring            B. unfriendly and talkative

          C. a gentle and reliable man      D. older than she had expected

    63. Why does Tess pay the visit to the d'Urbervilles?  

          A. To see Alec himself.

          B. To see Alec's mother.

          C. To confirm that they are of the same family.

          D. To make known their relationship and seek help.

    64. Alec appears quite friendly to Tess mainly because __________.

          A. Tess is his distant relation      B. Tess looks polite to him

          C. Tess is a pretty girl             D. Tess looks ridiculous
