It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderndss(荒野)

                            For Killing Wolves

  In Alaska,the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago,because hunters were killing hundreds 0f them forsport .However.1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur.So the woIf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.

    A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food.Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life.When the deer can’t find enough food,they die.

   If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer,their prey(猎物)will disappear some day.And the wolves will.too.So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology.If we killed more wolves,we would save them and their prey from dying out.We’d also  save some farm animals.

    In another northern state,wolves attack cows and chickens for food.Farmers want the  government to send biologists to study the problem.They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small woIf population.

                           Against Killing Wolves

  If you had lived long ago,you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous  wolf.According to most stories,hungry wolves often kill people for food.Even today,the stories of the“big bad woIf'"will not disappear.

    But the fact is wolves are afraid of people.and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell.When wolves eat other animals,they usually kill the very young.or the sick and injured .The strongest survive .No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived.And has always been a law of nature.

  Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves,we say it is nonsense!Researchers  have found wolves and their prey living in balance.The wolves keep the deer population from  becoming too large,and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.

    The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used bv people.Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs.the wolves can’t always find enough food .So they travel to the nearest source,which is often a farm.Then there is danger.The“big bad wolf”has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.

A.there are too many wolves

A.they never eat strong and healthy ones

B.they always go against the law of nature

Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.

Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?

People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.

The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪);someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter  —a person who made pots and pans.

The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.

Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.

Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.

56. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?

A. Places where people lived.     

B. People’s characters.

C. Talents that people possessed.  

D. People’s occupations.

57. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.

A. owned or drove a cart         

B. made things with metals

C. made kitchen tools or contains  

D. built houses and furniture

58. Suppose and English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.

A. Beatrice Smith         

B. Leonard Carter

C. George Longstreet      

D. Donald Greenwood

59. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _____.

A. later generations         

B. friends and relatives

C. colleagues and partners    

D. later sponsors

Thinking

u       Some scientists claim that we humans are the only living things that are conscious (有意识的) — we alone are aware that we are thinking.

u       No one knows how consciousness works — it is one of science’s last great mysteries.

u       All your thoughts take place in the cerebrum (大脑皮质), which is at the top of your brain, and different kinds of thought are linked to different areas, called association areas.

u       Each half of the cerebrum has four rounded ends called lobes (脑叶) — two at the front (frontal and temporal lobes) and two at the back (occipital and parietal lobes).

u       The frontal lobe is linked to your personality and it is where you have your bright ideas.

u       The temporal lobe is where you hear and understand what people say to you.

u       The occipital lobe is where you work out what your eyes see.

u       The parietal lobe is where you record touch, heat and cold, and pain.

u       The left half of the brain controls the right side of the body. The right half controls the left side.

u       One half of the brain is always dominant (in charge). Usually, the left brain is dominant, which is why 90% of people are right-handed.

68. Which part of your cerebrum is most active when you are making a telephone call?

   A. The frontal lobe.                                            B. The temporal lobe.

   C. The occipital lobe.                                         D. The parietal lobe.

   B. Bright ideas come from the parietal lobe.

   C. The occipital and temporal lobes are at the back of the cerebrum.

   A. their frontal lobe is usually dominant

   B. their temporal lobe is usually dominant

   C. their right brain is usually dominant
