    Animal experts in Croatia say a bear has learned how to trick people to let him in by knocking at the door.
    They believe the 220- kilogram brown bear probably learned the trick while nudging (轻推) a door to get it to open.
    Experts have a guess that the nudging was mistaken by the owners for knocking and that the bear, pleased by the result, repeated the trick.
    The Loknar family from Gerovo in western Croatia said the bear had knocked at their door three times and they were now refusing to answer the door.
    ‘We jumped out of the window as he came in through the door and went into the kitchen to take some food for the first time.” Mum Nevenka Loknar told a reporter from a local newspaper. “I opened the door and saw him standing there and I didn’t believe my eyes at first, then I ran for it as he walked in as if it was the most normal- thing in the world.”
    Bears are a common thing in the woods around here, but no one has ever heard of a bear that knocks at the door.
    Mum Nevenka Loknar said, “The bear is so intelligent. It’s incredible. We’ve tried to put up lots of obstacles to stop him coming in, like a wire fence but he still gets through. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knew how to use wire cutters (钢丝剪).”
    小题1:According to experts in Croatia, how did the bear learn the trick?
    A．By knocking at the door several times.B．By accident.
    C．By learning from the owner of a family.D．By imitation.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?
    A．Eating at the kitchen.B．Knocking at the door.
    C．Walking into the house.D．Answering the door.
    小题3:It is ________ in Gerovo that a bear knocks at the door.
    A．unusualB．a troubling problem
    C．commonD．an exciting experience
    小题4:Mum Nevenka Loknar was surprised that the bear ________.
    A．didn’t attack her family
    B．knew how to use wire cutters
    C．jumped across her wire fence three times
    D．was clever at getting through the obstacles

    小题1:B
    小题2:C
    小题3:A
    小题4:D
    本文讲述了在克罗地亚熊学会了敲门进入人类房子的故事。

    小题2:猜测词义题。I ran for it as he walked in as if it was the most normal- thing in the world.”it用来指代前面提到的he walked in.
    小题3:推理题。根据文章倒数第二段Bears are a common thing in the woods around here, but no one has ever heard of a bear that knocks at the door.可知熊敲门是不同寻常的。
    小题4:推断题。根据文章最后一段可知，为了防止熊进入房子，他们采取了很多方法，但是都不奏效。说明熊很聪明。

    I really hadn’t meant to yell at them. But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.
    With a tiresome report to write, I felt bothered at my desk. Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault. A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.
    “Ok, you two here, but what an awful thing you are attempting!” I was shouting angrily. I made for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me. “Get away from us!” he shouted back, there being an expression of support from his sister.
    All of a sudden, I found the fault in myself. Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers and crawled towards them, “Crabby Daddy is here. Ha, Ha, Ha, he likes to yell at children, and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away, but now he was laughing and crying at the same time. My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well. Still, I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way.
    Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves myself. It only shows just how to get rid of something (ill-feelings, responsibility…) by blaming others. It’s not my “best self”.
    We have to search for our “best self” when with our children. They don’t need perfect parents, but they do need parents who are always trying to get better. Here, I am reminded of the words of a great thinker. “When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the book…” Then, in our lifetime, couldn’t we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach this level, what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?
    小题1:The author couldn’t help yelling at his kids this time probably because________.
    A．the weather was so unpleasantB．he was tired of his boring work
    C．the kids didn’t ask him to join themD．a Daddy has his right to do so
    小题2:Which of the following made the author aware of his fault?
    A．No obvious reason.
    B．The boy’s yelling back.
    C．His self-awareness.
    D．The girl’s shouting back.
    小题3:According to the passage, the author will _____ in another similar situation.
    A．play a crab again like this time
    B．apologize to kids in a sincere way
    C．avoid blaming kids in a hurry
    D．beat them up about such things
    小题4:What will the writer go on to write about in the next paragraph(s)?
    A．How to behave ourselves properly when kids are at fault.
    B．How to play with our children in a more interesting way.
    C．How to deal with the housework with children around us.
    D．How to persuade children to do what they are told to.
    小题5:What does “the boy wanted no part of me” in the third paragraph mean?
    A．The boy was happy because I loved them.
    B．The boy was curious because I wanted to help them.
    C．The boy was very happy for I was angry.
    D．The boy didn’t want me to join them.

    Many people consider their pets members of the family and are very sad when they die, but what if you could clone your dog, cat or bird?
    A scientist in New Orleans, who has proved his ability to clone other animals, is now offering the possibility to pet owners here in Wisconsin．

    Have you ever heard of Paynes Prairie(大草原)？ It is one of the most important natural and historical areas in Florida. Paynes Prairie is located near Gainesville. It is large, 21,000 acres. This protected land is called a reserve, which is managed by the Florida Park Service.
    The Paynes Prairie basin was formed when limestone(石灰石）broke down and the ground settled. It is covered by wet prairie plants. There are areas of open water. During brief periods it was flooded enough to be considered a lake. Except for that, the basin has changed little through time.
    Man has lived on Paynes Prairie a very long time. He lived there as far back as 10,000 B.C.. At one time, the Seminoles lived there. The prairie is thought to have been named after King Payne, a Seminole chief. During the late 1600s, the largest farm where cattle are fed in Florida was on Paynes.
    William Bartram who lived 200 years ago visited Paynes Praire in 1774. Bartram was the first person who described nature through personal experiences as well as scientific observations. At that time he called Paynes Prairie the “great Alachua Savannah". Most of the animal life, which Bartram described, is still here. A large number of animals live here in winter. The variety of animals is increased by the presence of pine flat woods, wetlands and ponds.
    The Paynes Prairie Reserve State Park is open all year round. The Florida Park Service works hard so that the park will appear as it did in the past. It offers many opportunities for entertainment. In the park you can camp and picnic. You can hike and bike. You can boat and fish. You can ride on horses. And you can see Florida as it was in the early days.
    小题1:The second paragraph is mainly about   _______.
    A．how the present Paynes Prairie basin came into being
    B．what the present Paynes Prairie basin is covered by
    C．why the present Paynes Prairie basin is unchanged

    小题2:All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that _______
    A．the Florida Park Service manages Paynes Prairie
    B．you can have fun in the Paynes Prairie Reserve State Park
    C．there used to be a big cattle farm on Paynes Prairie
    D．William Bartram was the first person to visit Paynes prairie
    小题3:The purpose of the passage is to _______.
    A．call on people to protect wildlife of Paynes Prairie
    B．introduce Paynes Prairie to people
    C．tell people the recorded history of Paynes Prairie

    Secondhand smoke isn’t just a health threat to people．It can also hurt dogs and cats，veterinarians say．
    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention，more than 126 million Americans who don't smoke are exposed to secondhand smoke in their homes，vehicles，workplaces，and public places．This exposure causes thousands of lung cancer and heart disease deaths among nonsmokers every year，according to the California Environmental Protection Agency．
    “Making the leap from the effects of secondhand smoke on humans to their effects on pets isn't a big one,” says veterinarian （兽医专家） Carolynn MacAllister of Oklahoma State University．
    “There have been a number of scientific papers recently that have reported the significant health threat secondhand smoke poses to pets,” MacAllister said．“Secondhand smoke has been associated with oral cancer and lymphoma in cats，lung and nasal cancer in dogs，as well as lung cancer in birds.”
    Studies have also shown that dogs living in a smoking household are susceptible to cancers of the nose and sinus area，particularly if they are a long-nosed breed，because their noses have a greater surface area that is exposed to carcinogens and a greater area for them to accumulate．Dogs affected with nasal cancer normally don't survive for more than one year．
    “Short and medium-nosed dogs are more susceptible to lung cancer，because their shorter nasal passage aren't as effective at accumulating the inhaled secondhand smoke carcinogens,” MacAllister said．“This results in more carcinogens （致癌物质） reaching the lungs.”
    Birds are also at risk for lung cancer，as well as pneumonia，because their respiratory systems are hypersensitive to any type of air pollutant．
    To help prevent animals from being adversely affected by smoking，pet owners who smoke should have a designated smoking area that is separated from the home or stop smoking altogether，MacAllister said．        
    小题1:From the passage，we can see secondhand smoke maybe not harmful to _______．
    A．smokersB．non-smokersC．petsD．trees
    小题2:What can be suggested according to the passage?
    A．Smokers can smoke anywhere.
    B．Smokers can smoke at any time.
    C．Smokers should smoke in the designated place.
    D．Smokers must give up smoking at once.
    小题3:What kind of dogs are likely to suffer from nasal cancer?
    A．Long-nosed dogsB．Short-nosed dogs
    C．Medium-nosed dogsD．Dogs without noses
    小题4:The best title of the passage is __________.
    A．Secondhand Smoke Causes Cancer in People
    B．Secondhand Smoke Causes Cancer in Birds
    C．Secondhand Smoke Causes Cancer in Pets
    D．Secondhand Smoke Causes Cancer in Cats
    小题5:What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “are susceptible to”?
    A．are likely to be harmed by
    B．are hard to be influenced by
    C．are less to be effected by
    D．are lucky to be caught by

    Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first began, but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about languages, the languages of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by many millions of people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.
    There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original (最初的) language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago.
    Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time some even die out completely. About 1,000 years ago English was a little -known relative of German spoken on one of the borders（边界）of Europe.
    If a language has a lot of speakers or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of speakers. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China cannot understand speakers from other parts.
    小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that_______.
    A．most people in the world speak Chinese
    B．there are thousands of languages in the world today
    C．man has much knowledge about languages
    D．some people know several languages
    小题2:Many European and Indian languages ______.
    A．will soon die out completely
    B．were once a relative of English
    C．are the same as before
    D．come from the same family
    小题3:____ seems to have changed a lot
    A．ChineseB．EnglishC．SpanishD．German

    A．EnglishB．Changes of English

    Baby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl, while boys will head for the toy cars,  a study has shown. The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.
    Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 infants aged nine months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were stereotypically boys' toys - a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy.  The rest were girls’ toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.
    Of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two-and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the children’s choice.
    Dr Brenda Todd said: “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer moving objects, probably through hunting instincts（本能）, while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby.”
    小题1:Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because         .
    A．baby boys are much more active
    B．baby girls like bright colors more
    C．their parents treat them differently
    D．there is a natural difference between them
    小题2:What can we infer from Paragraph 3 ?
    A．Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at all.
    B．Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.
    C．The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is.
    D．Parents should teach their babies to share each other’s toys.
    小题3:What conclusion did Dr. Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?
    A．Adults purposely influence their babies preference.
    B．Babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings.
    C．Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.
    D．Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted.
    小题4:We may read this article in a        section of a newspaper.
    A．scienceB．healthC．educationD．entertainment

    Kids are far better than adults at learning how to speak multiple languages. Research now shows that very young infants might have some of the best language skills of all．

    A new study suggests that babies between 4 and 6 months old can tell the difference between two languages just by looking at the speaker's face．They don't need to hear word．Sometimes between 6-8 months of age, babies raised in homes where just one language is spoken lose this ability．Babies from bilingual(双语的) homes, on the other hand, keep the face-reading ability until they're at least 8 months old．
    Researchers in Canada studied 36 babies from English-speaking families．Twelve of the babies were 4 months old,12 were 6 months old, and the rest were 8 months old．Each baby sat on his or her mother's lap and watched video clips(电影片断) of a woman talking．The woman was fluent in both English and French．In some clips, she read from a storybook in English．In other clips, she read in French．In all of the videos there was no sound．
    小题1:What is mainly discussed in the passage ?
    A．Language teaching．
    B．Language learning
    C．Babies and language learning
    D．Parents and language teaching
    小题2:What do the underlined word in the second paragraph refer to ?
    A．Two or more．B．Foreign.C．difficult.D．At least one.
    小题3:We can know from the passage that    .
    A．all the babies in the study are of the same age．
    B．the babies could hear the woman's voice while watching the videos．
    C．the stories the woman read were written in either French or German．
    D．it's still unknown how babies could tell the difference between languages．
    小题4:Why did the 8-month-old pay no attention when the language was changed ?
    A．They had lost the ability to distinguish different languages．
    B．They were too tired to open their eyes and fell asleep．
    C．They couldn't hear what the speaker was talking about．
    D．They had lost the interest in bilingual speakers．
