With the rising demand for tiger parts from East Asia, illegal hunting remains a tremendous danger for the remaining cat population. Back in 1947, there were 40,000 tigers in India, but the number is experiencing a sharp decline t0 1,706 despite campaigns to protect the animal.
Rising man-animal conflict is also one of the leading causes of decline in tiger numbers. In one of numerous reported attacks on the endangered big cats, villagers near The Bangladesh-India border, armed with sticks and boat oars, set upon the animal suspected to have attacked a local fisherman and beat it to death earlier this month. So far this year, 58 tiger deaths have been reported in the country.
"The first instinct when a tiger is spotted is to just kill it,"grieved Gurmeet Sapal, a wildlife filmmaker. "The feeling of fear and revenge is so strong that it shuts out any other emotion. What we don" t realize is that the tiger never attacks humans until it is forced to. ""
India has been struggling to stop the tiger"s decline in the face of the loss of habitat as well that encourages the animals to leave the forest for food. " The tiger"s rapidly exhausted prey base causes the predator to go al! out to get its food. Consequently, livestock and human beings become easy prey, which leads inevitably to conflict," says a wildlife conservationist.
Filmmaker Sapal says it is only normal for people to think of the tiger as a dangerous animal, but its image as a human killer bears some injustice. "Tigers never kill for sport nor store meat. They kill their prey only in case of hunger. "

解析
试题分析：本文叙述了孟加拉虎减少的原因，是由于人们的猎***或者破坏了它们的生存的栖息地，文中提到老虎从不主动攻击人，只有当它们感到饥饿或遭到攻击时，才袭击人或牲畜。
小题1:A 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Animal rights group PETA is hoping to use the popularity of the film to focus people"s attention on the real life of Bengal tigers. 动物权益保护组织希望利用电影的流行使人们注意力聚焦于真正的孟加拉虎的生活”可以推出正确答案A项：动物权益保护组织依靠电影来提升人们对真正的孟加拉虎的生活的意识性。
小题2:B细节理解题。根据第三段中“set upon the animal suspected to have attacked a local fisherman and beat it to death earlier this month.因为怀疑老虎攻击了渔民而把老虎给打死了”可以得到正确答案B项。
小题3:D根据最后一句话“Tigers never kill for sport nor store meat. They kill their prey only in case of hunger. 老虎从来不***人，只有饿的时候或遭到袭击时才把人当成它们的猎物” 可以得到正确答案D项。
小题4:B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的叙述我们知道“因为老虎的栖息地遭到了破坏，它们不得不走出森林去觅食，所以牲畜和人类成了它们的猎物，这样不可避免地导致了冲突”，由此我们可以推断出：老虎渐渐失去栖息地而被迫外出觅食是导致牲畜和人类成了老虎攻击的靶子的原因。故答案B正确。

If you invest in your career early，you"ll have longer to build it up. 70% of wage growth happens in the first 10 years, so you need to get the best job you can get and negotiate your salary. No one can be sure that people who will wait until their 30s to get going are expecting to experience later to catch up with those of their ages.
Many 20-somethings don"t know what they want to do, so they hang around the house or in. low-level jobs waiting for the spirit to move them. Not making a choice is a choice. These 20-somethings think they are keeping their options open, but they are actually closing doors. Resumes start to look thin, their peers(同龄人) begin surpassing them and they may get stuck in underemployment.
It will take about 10,000 hours(or about five years)to really master their jobs. If you"re wondering why colleagues seem so smart and confident, it"s partly because they"ve been doing it longer. Young people should learn as much as they can in their first jobs and remember it will take some time to really get good.
The 20-something brain is still developing, which is in charge of critical emotion with reason. This, coupled with less on-the-job experience, means 20-somethings are more sensitive to surprise and criticism. They are more likely to take feedback personally. Step back and get some perspective. You"re not going to be fired because your boss is angry. Hear the criticism and learn from it.
The brain doesn"t fully mature until your mid-20s, particularly the parts that plan for the future and manage emotions. That doesn"t mean you should sit around and wait for it to develop. In. fact, what you learn and experience in your 20s becomes hardwired into your brain and this is the best chance you have to change your brain and change how you think and react. What people do in their 20s determines who they"ll be as adults.
小题1:What is the best title of the passage?
| A．How You Spend Your 20s Will Define You. |
| B．The 20-something Brain Remains To Be Developed. |
| C．Young People Need Employment And Experiences. |
| D．Becoming Mature Should Invest In The Career. |
| A．Not all people resist becoming independent. |
| B．Adult responsibilities make you happier. |
| C．Not making a choice is a better policy |
| D．It takes chances to get good jobs. |
| A．multiplied by | B．recounted in. |
| C．composed of. | D．combined with. |
| A．Take feedback personally anytime and anywhere. |
| B．It is never too late to wait till a choice is made. |

Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is 36 , but leaves out important information that should be 37 , he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just 38 a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and 39 it for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, 40 ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred 41 , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big 42 !
He didn’t say anything that was 43 , but he deliberately left out some important 44 . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically 45 , but they are just as not 46 .
Untrustworthy candidates in 47 campaigns often use this strategy. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and 48 three million jobs. Then she 49 another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement 50 , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. 51 , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of 52 million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s 53 the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the 54 . An advertisement might boast (吹嘘), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It 55 to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of cheat happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

Both these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them.
Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men.
The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who didn’t want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.
A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!”
This movement is quite new, and many American women don’t agree yet. But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives--- in men’s lives, too.
小题1:“Behind every successful man there is a woman:” means______.
| A．men are always successful but not women |
| B．women are not willing to stand in front of men |
| C．women do play an important part in men’s lives and work |
| D．women can be as successful as men |
| A．Some American women want to work side by side with men and get the same pay for the same work. |
| B．Most American women want to be more successful than men. |
| C．Not every American woman wants to get a job. |
| D．The American women’s liberation movement did make some changes in women’s lives. |
| A．I’m still going to work farther away from home |
| B．I’m not going to work far away from home |
| C．I’m not satisfied with what I’ve done |
| D．What I have done is not far from success |
| A．has still a long way to go |
| B．is a failure |
| C．was started by many successful women |
| D．is a new thing not accepted by the writer |
Dr. John Maxwell has written a new book to explain that there is more to success than just being talented. He says that the only way to find success in life is to apply good choices to talent and rise above the crowd. He believes that talented people need more than their gifts or abilities to succeed in life. There must be something more than just talent to become successful. A talent-plus person, a person who rises above the understanding of mere talent, is much more likely to find success than those with just talent alone.
People who have talent must be willing to make the right choices to maximize their talent. Wrong choices will minimize their talent, preventing them from rising to higher levels in life. Maximizing talent requires people to make good choices, but understanding that there are specific things in life requires no talent at all. Maxwell lists many different choices that people make to become a talent-plus persons including Belief lifts talent, Relationships influence talent, Responsibility strengthens talent, Teamwork multiplies talent, etc.
Following the simple principles found in the book can not only help people raise the level of their talent but also raise their level of living. When people combine the principles with their talents they can become a talent-plus person. The choice becomes one of willingness and personal change. Talent-plus people have the ability to change their life and the world.

Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However, it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011 by job website monster. Co.uk, in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most esteemed members of society, and they make good money. Joining these high-profile professions is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career. British young men list the UK tycoon Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”.
However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see fulfillment and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs---coffee shop owner, gourmet(美食家)，waiter at a fast food restaurant---are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
| A．Careers in teenagers’ mind. |
| B．Choosing a good job is very important. |
| C．Teenagers in the UK like doctors. |
| D．The choice of career needs challenge. |
| A．Medicine | B．Law | C．Bank | D．Education |
| A．respect from others | B．the oldest profession |
| C．high pay | D．upward social mobility. |
| A．Prestige | B．Fulfillment | C．Happiness | D．Wealth |
| A．According to your particular talents and skills, you can choose your favorite career. |
| B．Specific education and training can help get a good job. |
| C．Whatever career you choose, you should balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills. |
| D．Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job. |
