阅读理解。     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 dill 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 lioneases (母狮), being thinner and faster, are better hunters (猎手) than the males (雄狮). But the
males don"t mind. After the kill they move in and take the test 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 imong 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 take advantage of other animals
D. like to take every chance to eat 2. According to the text, which of the following is true? A. Lions make most kills in the daytime.
B. Males care more about eating than active killing.
C. Lions are curious about things happening around them.
D. It doesn"t take lions too much time to make a kill. 3. How can we know that lions are social animals? A. They depend on each other.
B. They look after each other well.
C. They readily share what they have.
D. They enjoy each other"s company. 4. What would be the best tiltle for the text? A. Powerful Lions
B. Lions at Work and Play
C. Lions, Social Cats
D. Lions, Skilled Hunters

阅读理解。     To extinguish (熄灭) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented.
They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate
for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and
planes to carry extinguishers.
     Since fuel, oxygen (氧气) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these
things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material
below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out
a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.
     Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering
the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire.
     A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from
a fire, so that it can find no fuel.
     The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in
three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually help
keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water. 1. If a fire breaks out on a bus, which of the follow should be ready there for you to use?A. Sand
B. Water
C. A blanket.
D. An extinguisher. 2. To cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of _____.A. separating the fire
B. reducing the heat
C. removing the fuel
D. cutting off the oxygen 3. In choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about _____. A. when it breaks out
B. how it comes about
C. what kind it is
D. where it takes place 4. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A. Another class of fires
B. Another type of extinguishers
C. How fires break out.
D. How fires can be prevented.

阅读理解。     As skies are filled with millions of migrating (迁徙) birds, European scientists say the seasonal
wonder appears to be strange: The fatter the bird, tile better it flies.
     The results of their study led to a theory opposite to a central one of aerodynamics (空气动力学),
which says that the power needed to fly increases with weight.
     For birds, obviously, the cost of flying with heavy fat is much smaller than we used to think.
Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before
making their twice-a-year nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic. Distance:
5,000 kilometers.
     Another study in the magazine Nature measured the advantage of flying in an aerodynamic group
which allows birds to save energy by flying smoothly and quietly in the lead bird" s air stream.
      Flying in groups, their heart rates were 14.5 percent lower than flying alone, according to Henri,
a French scientist. The findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations. Researchers had
thought that thinner, stronger birds would have the best chance to survive.
     The first study suggests that building up fat to be burnt as fuel during the migration is worth more
than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight.
     In the study, researchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body weights during
28 simulated (模拟的) flights. They forced a small amount of special water into the birds" bodies so
that they could measure the amount of energy burnt during the flight. 1. A red knot wading bird of 100 grams will probably weigh ______ before making its nonstop migrating flight.A. 50 grams
B. 100 grams
C. 150 grams
D. 200 grams 2. During their migrating flight, red knot wading birds can save energy by flying _____. A. separately
B. alone
C. in groups
D. in pairs 3. A ______ red knot wading bird has a better chance to survive during its migrating flight. A. stronger
B. weaker
C. thinner
D. fatter 4. The best title for this passage may probably be ______.A. Birds Thin Down For Journey
B. Birds Fatten Up For Journey
C. How Birds Build Up Fat For Journey
D. How Birds Burn Energy For Journey

阅读理解。     There are two main forms of teaching in Nottingham University: seminar (研讨会) and lecture. They
are very different from the sort of teaching most often used in schools and colleges.
      In seminars you will be taught with discussion focusing on a text or topic set in advance in a friendly
and informal atmosphere. The purpose is to provide an opportunity to try out new ideas and to think
through difficulties with fellow- learners. Students develop friendships through groups, as well as learning
more about other people"s ideas. You can also know your tutors as an individual rather than a face at the
end of the room.
     Lectures are the most formal. There may be over a hundred in the audience and the lecture Mil last about
fifty minutes. The value of the lecture is that it can present to a large number of people information which
is not readily available in books, that it can give you an opportunity to hear a specialist develop a coherent
(有条理的) argument, and that it can show visual material to a wide audience.
     Your typical week"s work will feel strange after school or college since there are fewer timetabled
teaching hours. Each week in the first year you may attend about six lectures and four to six seminars or
tutorials (辅导). For the rest of the time you are working on your own, doing the necessary reading in
preparation for tutorials or writing seminar papers. When writing an essay or carrying out project work,
you can often discuss with your tutor about the title and topic. 1. The purpose of the passage is ______. A. to introduce two main forms of teaching
B. to persuade you to try out new ideas
C. to stress the importance of discussion
D. to make you believe that seminar is more helpful 2. One of the values of the lecture is _____.A. to make friends through groups
B. to learn more about other people"s ideas
C. to offer a chance to discuss with a specialist
D. to present to students information not found in books3. Your typical week"s work in the university will feel strange because ______. A. you may have no project work after class
B. you may give lectures and seminars
C. you may have fewer timetabled teaching hours
D. you may write seminar papers with fellow-learners 4. We can learn from the passage that ______. A. seminar is better than lecture
B. lecture is better than seminar
C. seminar is more formal than lecture
D. lecture is more formal than seminar

阅读理解。     Despite the high technology and investment (投资) in flood defences by the Environment Agency
(环保局), there is no way to stop all flooding--sooner or later nature will produce something that will
beat even the strongest defences.
     Warning people of tiffs danger is very important if we are to prevent the great loss of life seen
fifty-three years ago. Indeed if the Flood Waming System that currently exists had been around on that
cold, stormy night in January 1953, many lives would have been spared.
     The Environment Agency took over the role of flood warning in 1995 from the police who had to go
door to door or sound alarms to get the news out. The service is being constantly improved and a
combination of better technology and increased investment following the Easter Floods of 1998 has led to
the creation of Floodline and an automatic (自动) messaging system that can warn thousands of people in
very little time.
     Floodline 0845 988 1188 offers information and advice 24 hours a day and if warnings are in place,
callers can get information either from local updates or by using a quick dial code for their area. 
     The Flood Warning team in Kent has also sent letters to the people living close to the rivers or the sea
and invited them to join the AVM (automated voice messaging) system. Anyone choosing to take up this
free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or pager telling them of tile
level of warning, giving them as much time as possible to carry out their flood plan and save items that
cannot be replaced if lost or damaged, such as photographs or children"s favorite toys. 1. Choose the correct statements from tile following according to the passage.
a. Many people lost their lives in the flood in 1953.
b. The Flood Warning system was already in use in 1953.
e. Flood defences can stop all flooding.
d. The Environment Agency began to warn people of flood ill 1995.
e. Floodline was created after the Easter Floods of 1998. A. a, b, c
B. b, c, d
C. a, c, e
D. a, d, e 2. What does the underlined word "pager" mean in tile passage?  A. A boy employed to carry luggage in hotels.
B. A piece of equipment designed to receive and show messages.
C. A page of papers written to offer messages.
D. A person, invited to write pages of messages. 3. People can easily get information and advice about flood any time of the day from ______. A. automatic messaging system
B. Floodline 0845 988 1188
C. the Flood Warning team in Kent
D. automated voice messaging system 4. The best title for this passage may probably be _______. A. Enviromnent Agency
B. Technology In Flood Defences
C. Flood Warning System
D. Easter Floods

阅读理解。       Unlike modern animal scientists, dinosam scientists cannot sit on a hillside and use telescopes to
watch dinosaurs in order to know how they lived and whether they were good parents Instead, they
have to search hard for information from dinosaurs’fossils(恐龙化石)because dinosaurs died out
millions of years ago.
       It’s very difficult for the scientists to reach an agreement because different results can be got from
the same fossils, Many fossils of the same kind of dinosaurs have been dug out from one place. They
might have formed when an entire group of dinosaurs got stuct(陷入)all st once. Or they might have
been the result of dinosaurs getting stuck one after another over a course of a few centuries. Thys we
can say that dinosaurs might have in the first case lived in big groups and in the second lived alone.
      Though there are two different results, dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds
of dinosaurs lived in big groups. “That’s pretty much settled at this point.” Says Paul Sereno, A kind of
dinosaurs called Sauropods left behind tracks in the western United States that appear to run north and
south,suggesting that they even moved long distances together.
      As to whether dinosaurs cared for their young, dinosaur scientists have turned to the closest living
relativers of dinosaurs―birds and crocodiles―for possible models. Birds give a lot of care to their young,
while crocoeiles just help their young to the water, The discovered fossils of dinosaurs sitting on their gees
and staying with their  young  suggest the parents were taking care of their babies, but we still cannot say
that all dinosaurs did the same.
       There is still a long way to go before the above questions could be answered. Dinosaur scientists will
have to find more proof to reach an agreement.1. Dinosaur scientists can get information directly by _____. A. studying dinosaur fossils
B. examining modern animals
C. watching dinosaurs
D. using teleeopes 2. What is pretty much settled according to Paul Sereno? A. Half of the dinosaurs lived alone.
B. Most dinosaurs moved long distances.
C. Many dinosaurs settled in the north.
D. Some dinosaurs lived in big groups. 3. Dinosaur scientists can probably know whether dinosaurs were good parents by _____. A. watching many kinds of animals
B.  studying dinosaurs’living relatives
C. following the tracks left behind
D. working on dug-out dinosaur eggs4.Which of the following is true according to the paragraph? A. Birds hardly ay attention to their young.
B. Baby crocodiles can look after themselves well.
C. Some dinosaurs took care of their young.
D. Birds and crocodiles take good care of their young.
