One day a student went to see his teacher. He had been given an important position and now was coming to say goodbye to his teacher. The old man asked him how he would live among high officials. The student answered, “ I will be all right. I have prepared a hundred high hats, one for each official I will meet. I am sure I will succeed.” The teacher got angry on hearing this.  “What?” he cried. “Is this what ten years of my teaching has made of you? Nothing but flatterer(拍马屁的人)?” “Excuse me, honored(尊敬的) master,” the student rose to his feet and apologized hurriedly. “But you have always been absorbed in your studies and don’t know how vulgar(庸俗的) the world has come to be. There are few men in the world who are above flatterers like you.” “There is something true in what you said,” the teacher nodded, smiling with one of the student’s “high hats” on.

For 19 years, the owl researcher, Denver Holt, has journeyed to Barrow, Alaska, each summer to map out the relationship between lemmings （旅鼠） that crawl across the tundra （冻原） and snowy owls that hunt them from above．

As he prepares for his 20th field season in the Arctic, he says that the snowy owl has a role to play in understanding ecological changes in one of the fastest changing places in the world．"When lemmings are doing well, everything is doing well," Mr．Holt said．"If climate change results in habitat （栖息地） changes and it affects the lemmings, it will show up in the snowy owls because 90 percent of their diet is lemmings．The owls are the key to everything else．"

Twenty years of data provides an unusually deep look at the animal's population trends．And more research on snowy owls in other parts of the world ?they are found throughout the Arctic could flag changes in the global arctic ecosystem without the need for any other markers．

"It's a believable point," ．．said John W．Fitzpatrick, director of the Cornell Lab of Qrthinology at Cornell University．"Systems are difficult, and if we have an easily accessible marker for the system beneath it, that's a really good thing, because we can measure cheaply and easily how an ecosystem is doing．It gives us a quick understanding of the situation．"

There is an unscientific reason to study the snowy owl as well, Mr．Holt says．There is something interesting about owls．"People pay attention to owls more than other birds because they look like us," he said．'They have a symmetrical （对称的）face, eyes facing forward, a round, flat face and a round head with feathers that look like hair．"

63．From the passage, we know that lemmings ____．

　　　 A．live mostly on snowy owls　　　　　　 　 B．often change their habitat

　　　 C．are increasing rapidly these days　　 　　　 D．can affect the life of snowy owls

64．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　　 A．Mr．Holt goes to the Arctic to study snowy owls every winter．

　　　 B．Climate change has a direct influence on snowy owls．

　　　 C．John W．Fitzpatrick thought Mr．Holt's research and findings were useful and meaningful．

　　　 D．People study snowy owls just for scientific research．

65．The underlined word "flag" in the passage is closest in meaning to "____"．

　　　 A．influence　 　　 B．mark　　 　　　　　　　 C．measure　 　　　　　 D．cause

66．What is the best title for this passage?

A．Mr．Holt's Research on Ecological Changes 　　　　　　　　　　　

B．Changes in Snowy Owls

C．Snowy Owls And Eco-changes　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　

D．Reasons to Study Snowy Owls

In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastestgrowing U. S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nation schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U. S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.

Most Asian?American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.

Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese,Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.

A.their English is not good enough

B.they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas

C.there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures

D.they know little about American culture and society

11.Why do “both explanations” (Para. 3) worry Asian Americans?

A.They are afraid that they will again be isloated from American society in general.

B.People will think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.
