    　　Fire can help people in many ways. But it can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water, warm your houses, give light, and cook food. But fire can burn things too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.

    　　Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man a very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.

    　　Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast.

    　　Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen they die. There is oxygen in the air. Cover a fire with water, sand, or in an emergency (紧急情况), with your coat or something else. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it.

    　　Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.

    　　Monarch butterflies(黑脉金斑蝶)are a common summer sight in the northern United States and Canada．These large orange and black insects(昆虫)brighten parks and gardens as they fly lightly among the flowers．What makes monarchs particularly interesting is that they migrate(迁飞)－all the way to California or Mexico and back．They are thought to be the only insect that does this．

    　　Every year in the late summer monarchs begin their journey to the south．Those heading for Mexico go first for the Louisiana Mississippi area, then fly across the Gulf of Mexico into Texas．Once in Mexico, they settle themselves in one of about fifteen places in a mountain forest filled with fir trees．Each place provides a winter home for millions of monarchs．The butterflies are so many that they often cover entire trees．When spring comes, they begin their long journey north．

    　　The question is often asked whether every butterfly makes the round trip journey every year．And the answer is no．The average monarch lives about nine months．So one flying north might lay eggs in Louisiana and then die．The eggs of that generation may be found in Kentucky; the eggs of the next generation may end up in Wisconsin or Michigan．The last generation of the season, about the fourth, will make their way back to Mexico and restart the journey．

    　　Scientists learn about monarchs’ migration by catching and making marks on the insects．By recatching a monarch with such a mark and noticing where it came from, the next scientist can get to know things like the butterfly’s age and its routing(路线)．

    (1)

    One of the places where monarchs spend the winter is ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the Gulf of Mexico

    B．

    an area in Mississippi

    C．

    a forest in Mexico

    D．

    a plain in Texas

    (2)

    The routing of monarchs’ migration can be learned ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    by examining the marks made on them

    B．

    by collecting their eggs in the mountains

    C．

    by comparing their different ages

    D．

    by counting the dead ones in the forests

    (3)

    What is the subject discussed in the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Migration of monarchs．

    B．

    Scientists’ interest in monarchs．

    C．

    Winter home of monarchs．

    D．

    Life and death of monarchs．

    　　Walking down any of Shanghai's main shopping streets this week, newcomers might think the locals have been celebrating Christmas for centuries．Christmas may not be a customary holiday in China, but businessmen in Shanghai know it will bring something more valuable than tradition：people are willing to spend money．Most Chinese may feel little connection with the Christmas celebration, but with most shops offering discount(折扣), the message couldn't be clearer－it is the season to part with one's hard-earned cash．

    　　Much of that marketing drive is directed towards thousands of foreigners and foreign companies that call Shanghai home．But for Shanghai's 13 million locals, regardless of personal interest, there seems no avoiding the season's commercial greetings．Along some major roads, nearly every shop window displays some symbols to the holiday：a man-made fir tree(杉树)with lights, or a snowman．

    　　With an increasing number of westerners arriving in the city for work, young Shanghainese, eager to keep pace with the latest western fashions, have begun to show their interest in Christmas．But some people still don't think Christmas is an important festival in China．At least it is less important than the New Year and China's Spring Festival．

    　　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(干涉)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 pine, 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 enchanting region it has ever been our privilege(特权)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, 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(鹿群)，but a far greater loss resulted from starvation(饥饿)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．

    (1)

    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

    A．

    a tree

    B．

    an animal

    C．

    a mountain

    D．

    (3)

    The number of the deer in the Kaibab had increased enormously in ________ years' time．

    [　　]

    A．

    25

    B．

    6

    C．

    18

    D．

    12

    (4)

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

    [　　]
