【题目】Many Western people are not used to sitting on the floor any more. In Japan, however, sitting upright on the floor is common in different situations. For example, meals are traditionally had when people sit on the tatami (榻榻米) floor around a low table. Also during the tea ceremony and other traditional events, one sits on the floor.

The formal way of sitting for both men and women is kneeling upright. People who are not used to sitting in this style may feel uncomfortable after a few minutes, and their legs may go numb. However, foreigners are not usually expected to be able to sit in this style for a long time, and an increasing number of Japanese people themselves aren’t able to do so, owing to a more westernized lifestyle.

In other situations, men usually sit cross-legged, while women sit on their knees laying both legs to one side. The former sitting style is considered wholly male, while the latter is considered completely female.

The most important guest sits on the honored seat which is set farthest from the entrance. If there is a tokonoma (壁龛) in the room, the guest should be seated in front of it. The host or the least important person is supposed to sit next to the entrance. Of course, there are other things to be considered in each particular case.

【1】Which of the following situations is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. When traditional events are held.

B. When a tea ceremony is held.

C. When men and women meet.

D. When meals are traditionally had.

2According to the passage we can learn that ______.

A. more and more Japanese sit in the formal way

B. foreigners should always sit in the formal style in a Japanese home

C. men and women in Japan sit in the same informal way

D. men shouldn’t sit on their knees laying both legs to one side

3When some guests are in a Japanese home, _______should sit nearest to the entrance.

A. the most important guest

B. both the host and the hostess

C. the host or the least important person

D. the host himself

4What is the passage mainly about?

A. How foreigners should sit in Japanese homes.

B. How and where to sit in Japanese homes.

C. How foreigners should behave in Japanese homes.

D. Where to sit in Japanese homes.

【题目】One thing the tour books don't tell you about London is that 2,000 0f its residents (屠民) are foxes. They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home.

"The number and variety of wild animals in urban c城市的) areas is increasing," says Corner Jones. A survey of the wildlife in New York's Central Park last year counted 14 kinds of animals. A similar survey carried out in the 1890's counted only five kinds.

Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. First, the air and water quality in many cities have improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, and many animals have gone to the area outside the centre of a city. In addition, urban wildlife refuges (避难处) have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent $ 750, 000 to buy land and build 10 permanent (永久性的) wildlife refuges in the city. As a result, many birds are now living in the city. By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life.

That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded abundant food.

Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The key is to create habitats where they are able to live happily. Such habitats can even be useful. In San Francisco, /span>the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones keep the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.

【1】 What is the passage mainly about?

A. 2,000 foxes returning to London.

B. Wild animals living in zoos.

C. Wildlife returning to some larger cities.

D. The great enemy of wildlife.

【2】 It can be inferred from the passage that

A. Londoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoos

B. Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city

C. Londoners are trying to move wild animals back to the countryside

D. Londoners have welcomed the wild birds, but found foxes a problem

【3】According to the passage, the number of species of wildlife in New York's park .

A. is slowly going down

B. is the same as that in other cities

C. doesn't change too much

D. has more than doubled in the last century

【4】 Which of the following is NOT a reason why wildlife is returning to the cities?

A. There is plenty of food for wildlife in the city.

B. Wildlife enjoys being watched and fed in the cities.

C. More and more special living areas have been built for the wildlife.

D. Air and water quality has improved in the cities.
