    4．They're WILD animals
    By Ernst-Ulrich Franzen
    March 11，2010 （3）Comments
    The story about the woman who lost some fingers while feeding a bear at a zoo in Manitowoc，after she ignored warnings and barriers（栅栏），reminded me of the story I heard about a couple who put their baby on the back of a wild horse in South Dakota to get a really cute picture．We all do silly things at times-no one is immune-but treating wild animals as lovely pets has to fall into a special category．Teddy bears and Disney movies aren't actually representative of real bears．

    1．TosaLeft-Mar 11，2010 10：46AM
    Don't you think that maybe，just maybe some alcohol was involved？
    2．tk421-Mar 11，2010 11：09AM
    It was already approved that alcohol was involved．Stories that begin with a drunk person saying"Hey，I got an idea，watch this!"rarely end well．
    3．Tristan Kloss-Mar 11，2010 11：41AM
    Alcohol certainly isn't involved when people decide to keep"pets"like chimpanzees，baby tigers，etc．Stupidity，definitely．Dogs are pets because of thousands of years of domestication．Even farm animals，which have been kept by humans for thousands of years as well，aren't let in the house．So why keep animals that treat human contact with，at best，indifference（冷淡、不在乎） and，at worst，violence？

    39．In Ernst-Ulrich Franzen's opinion，the woman lost her fingers becauseC．
    A．the zoo keepers didn't warn her of the danger
    B．she didn't know the bear was a wild animal
    C．she was somehow influenced by cartoon characters
    D．she climbed over the barriers and angered the bear
    40．TosaLeft thinks the wounded womanA．
    A．may have been drunk          
    B．may be a little stupid
    C．was addicted to wine         
    D．fed wine to the bear
    41．tk421means a drunk personB．
    A．should be forbidden to enter the zoo
    B．usually gets himself into trouble
    C．is often fond of making up stories
    D．usually likes to show himself off
    42．What does Tristan Kloss think of people treating wild animals as pets？D
    A．Kind．
    B．Illegal．
    C．Loving．
    D．Stupid．

    分析 本文主要讲述的是一些人因为看了动画片而和真实的动物接触，因此受到伤害甚至丢掉性命，据此展开讨论．

    解答 CABD
    39   C   推断题．由标题 March 11，2010 （3）Comments 下最后一句"Teddy bears and Disney movies aren't actually representative of real bears．"可知 Ernst-Ulrich Franzen 认为这名女性喂熊的原因可能她受了卡通人物的影响，以为真正的熊和泰迪熊一样，C项正确．A项，由标题 March 11，2010 （3）Comments 下第一句"…after she ignored warnings"可知她被警告过，A项错误．B项，文章未提及，B项错误．D项，文中只提及她爬过栅栏去给熊喂食，并未提及她惹怒了熊，D项错误．故正确答案为C．
    40  A   推断题．由标题 1．TosaLeft 下的内容"Don't you think that maybe，just maybe some alcohol was involved？"可知 TosaLeft 认为这个女性是因为喝了酒，A项正确．B、C、D项文章均未提及，错误．故正确答案为A．
    41   B   细节题．由标题 2．tk421 下第二句"Stories that begin with a drunk person saying'Hey，I got an idea，watch this!'rarely end well．"可知 tk421 认为醉酒人的故事很少有好结局，换句话说就是醉酒的人经常让自己陷入困境．故正确答案为B．
    42   D   推断题．由标题 3．Tristan Kloss 下最后一句"So why keep animals that treat human contact with，at best，indifference（冷淡、不在乎） and，at worst，violence？"可知 Tristan Kloss 呼吁人们不要接触那些说好听点冷漠，说难听点暴力的动物，认为那些将野生动物当宠物的人很愚蠢（stupid），D项正确．kind 意为"友好的"，illegal 意为"非法的"，loving 意为"亲爱的，钟情的"，均不符合文意．故正确答案为D．

    点评 学生需要认真阅读原文，把握文章大意，对文章脉络有整体的了解，能仔细查找文中细节，并能根据文章内容进行合理的推测判断．

    12．The Olympic flame
       The Olympic Flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics，where a flame burned at the altar（祭坛）of Zeus throughout competition．It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games，and again burned in 1932．
       Carl Diem，chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games，proposedthat the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay．The idea was adopted（采纳）and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952．The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a carved mirror．It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times，who then pass it to the first relay runner．
      The Olympic motto
    "Citius，altius，fortius"is a Latin phrase meaning"swifter，higher，stronger"，which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Dideon of Paris．Dideon was the headmaster of Arcueil College，and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school．He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand School，where the Latin words were carved in the stone above the main entrance．
    The Olympic oath
    "In the name of all competitors，I promise that we shall take part in these Olympi c Games，respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them，in the true spirit of sportsmanship，for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams．"
      Written by Baron de Coubertin，the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag．The athletes'oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games．A judge from the host country also speaks the oath，with slightly different wording．
    51．The Olympi c flame was first burned atBin modern times．
    A．the 1920 Games      
    B．the 1924 Games 
    C．the 1932 Games 
    D．the 1936 Games       
    52．The underlined word in Paragraph Two can be replaced withC．
    A．ordered               B．insisted         C．suggested            D．requested
    53．From the passage we can learnA．
    A．the firs t torch relay was held at the 1936 Berlin Games
    B．before 1936，no flames were burned at the Olympic Games
    C．Carl Diem proposed that flames should be burnt at the Olympic Games
    D．the Olympic torch is lit in the country where the Games are held and passed via a relay．
    54．The Olympic motto wasD．
    A．written by Baron de Coubertin           
    B．from Greek
    C．from the ancient Olympic Games      
    D．borrowed f rom Father Henri D ideon of Paris
    55．Which of the following is TRUE？A
    A．There was no athlete's oath in the 1896 Olympic Games．

    13．About 97% of the world's water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas．But，as we can't drink seawater，how can it be important？
    Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths．Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food．These simple plants called algae （海藻） drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen．In fact，algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe．How important seawater is!
    Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain．The algae are eaten in large amounts by tiny animals，which are in turn consumed by larger animals．These food chains are delicately （微妙地） balanced．
    The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man．People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn't matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food．But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop．
    Thankfully，the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats．Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions （限制） to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to deal with pollution．Finally，the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people．This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future．We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet．How important seawater is!
    32．People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the seaD．
    A．wouldn't harm the fish in the sea
    B．would change the balance of the food chain
    C．would be broken down in the sea
    D．wouldn't do much harm to the sea
    33．From the passage，we learn thatC．
    A．most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas
    B．it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain
    C．over-fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock
    D．it won't be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved
    34．Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans？B
    A．The use of international agreements．
    B．Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks．
    C．The use of new techniques．
    D．Raising people's awareness of the need to protect oceans．
    35．What would be the best title of the passage？A
    A．The Importance of Seawater．
    B．Life in the Oceans．
    C．How to Protect Food Chains．
    D．How to Deal with Seawater Pollution．

    14．Tragedy at the Circus
    In yesterday's circus（马戏团）show，a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had to be shot dead．As the circus packed up and left，circus officials said the show would go on，even without tigers．
    However，the officials can't simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind．Even before this tragedy，animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit of circus organizers．
    It is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly．
    Circus Safe for Animals
    Our circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history．While we are thankful for the pity from the public，we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in"Tragedy at the Circus．"
    First，our performing animals are not taken from the wild．As to the ethical problems，we always believe humans and animals can-and should-live together nicely．To us，the performing animals are representatives of their species，and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species．Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts．Life in the"wild"is unsafe，but a continuous struggle for existence．To overlook these realities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom．
    This circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine．Within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans：people are educated，and species saved．

    A．To show pity for the performing animals．
    B．To express worries about animal trainers'safety．
    C．To deal with the difficult situations of the circus．
    D．To call for action to protect circus animals．
    126．What will the circus most probably do？B
    A．Take no notice of the tragedy．
    B．Continue its performances．
    C．Use fewer wild animals．
    D．Limit its profit．
    127．What does the circus think of its performing animals？C
    A．They are as clever as human beings．
    B．They struggle continuously with human beings for existence．
    C．They are helpful in saving their species．
    D．They have equally natural living conditions as wild animals．
