Lions are opportunists. They prefer to eat without having to do too much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the kill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.

The lionesses (母狮) , being thinner and faster, are better hunters than the males (雄狮). But the males don’t mind. After the kill they move in and take the best share.

Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many, many daylight attempts but only ten kills. Roughly, It’s about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.

When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second. The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.

Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other. After drinking at a water hole, a lioness rests her head on another’s back. When walking, young lions often touch faces with older ones, an act of close ties among members of the group.

1.By describing lions as “opportunists” in the first paragraph, the author means to say that lions _____________.

A. are cruel animals

B. are clever animals

C. like to make use of other animals

【解析】

试题分析:这是一篇科教类阅读。这篇文章是讲狮子在猎食和生活中的特性,狮子很享受这种集体生活。

1.猜测词义题。根据第一段第二句“They prefer to eat without having to do too much work”和“If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the kill for them selves.”他们更喜欢吃不费力而得来的食物。如果另一个动物捕获了实物,他们将他赶走,把食物据为己有。可知狮子喜欢侵占其他动物的猎物。Opportunists的意思是“机会主义者”。

2.】判断正误题。根据“The lionesses are better hunters than the males”和“But the males don’t mind. After the kill they move in and take the test share.”雌狮比雄狮捕食能力强,但雄狮不介意。捕到食物后他们移过来进行分享。可知雄狮捕食能力差但是吃得好。

3.The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.捕杀是狮子日常生活当中最兴奋的时刻,因为这些大动物一天大约20个小时在睡觉、休息。所以B项正确。

4..推理判断题。根据最后一句“an act of close ties among members of the group”这个群体的成员之间的密切联系的行为和最后一段描述的狮群的行动可以知道狮子很享受这种集体生活。

5.主旨大意题。这篇文章是讲狮子在猎食和生活中的特性,选项A Powerful Lions 强大的狮子,过于抽象,不能表现文中描述的要点,C Lions, Social Cats 社交大猫和D技能猎手,都过于片面,只概括了其中一个部分,只有B Lions at Work and Play在工作和玩的狮子,比较全面和准确。

Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.

A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, you’ve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.

Many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.

Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.

“Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying ‘no’ risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”

The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say “no”.

In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.

But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.

Most people believe that “If I say ‘no’, I'll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this: “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him , then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”

Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的) solution. “One heeds to present the situation from one’s own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”

When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message.

1.Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no” because ________.

A. they don’t care about their own interests and feelings

B. they don’t know they will regret afterwards

C. they have already been used to saying “yes”

D. they care more about others’ affection

2. In the opinion of experts, _________ .

A. people need a lot of practice to say “no”

B. people should say “yes” to keep the peace

C. saying “no” means losing a job

D. people have the right to be liked

3.According to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other person’s request?

A. Just say you can’t help him.

B. Say sorry to him.

C. Refuse him clearly.

D. Talk to the other person to find a mutual way.

4.According to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?

A. Say yes to him.

B. Repeat your reason for his acceptance

C. Just go away

D. Say no to him

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A. You Need Courage To Say “No”

B. “Yes” More Than “No”

C Anyone Has The Right To Say “No”

D. It’s Hard To Say “No”
