That was his work. One day a letter brought Andy a new job. This job changed both his feeling about anima

11、ls and his way of hunting. The letter said: “I want to write a story about bighorn sheep. I need pictures to go with my story. Will you get pictures of the sheep for me?“ Andy“s two sons wanted their father to take the job. “We will help you!“ they said. Bighorn sheep are very wild. Andy knew it wou

12、ld be hard to get pictures. “But why not try?“ they said. For days, Andy and his sons tried to get pictures. They did not want the sheep to hear them or see them, so they walked softly. They hid behind rocks, but the sheep always ran away. Then one day, Andy and his sons walked around a big rock. Th

13、ey met some sheep face to face. But the sheep didn“t run! “Now I know why the sheep run away,“ Andy said. “They run because we come up behind them. From now on, we will stay where they can see us.“ The next day, Andy saw some sheep right out in the open. He and his sons walked toward them. The men d

14、id not try to hide, but they did walk slowly. They knew that any fast move will frighten them away. “Don“t look right at the sheep,“ Andy said. “Wild animals do not like to be looked at.

Some animals eat plants they live with. Some plants stay ali

18、ve because many plant-eating animals have natural enemies that eat them. Rich soil for the roots of plants is produced by worms and other very small animals that live underground. Green plants feed animals and people. It takes all the plants and animals living together to keep the earth a good place

19、 to live in. Plants and animals trade with each other. They trade for things they both need to stay alive. Animals breathe and the air gets changed inside their bodies. When they breathe the air out again there“s something called carbon(碳) in it. Animals can“t use this air again. But plants need car

20、bon. The plants trade fresh air for the carbon they need. Plants make food from carbon and water. They use sunlight for this work, just as a machine uses gas or electricity to keep running. The plants store the food they make inside themselves. But what do the plants get in return? Many things. Plan

21、ts make food from the carbon and other things that come from animals“ bodies. Insects like bees carry pollen(花粉) from one flower to another and the pollen forms seeds.

22、s help the growth of new plants.（分数：6.00）(1).Which of the following is the closest in meaning with “trade with“ in paragraph 2?（分数：2.00）A.live forB.give to and take fromC.stay withD.teach and learn from(2).What is compared to “electricity“ in paragraph 4?（分数：2.00）A.Sunlight.B.Water.C.Air.D.Carbon.(3

24、at there are more bags per person on the street today than at any other time in history. If this is true, possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic gadgets(装置), a reading-material explosion, a popular interest toward tight or pocketless clothing, or cheap bagm

25、aking labor overseas. But, much as nature finds wayssuch as diseaseto control overpopulation, city life has thrown up impediments(障碍) to bags. To enter many public buildings, theatres, ballparks, and perhaps even underground railway stations, you must go through a search or go bagless. The city has

26、countless bag rules. It is hard to keep them all straight, and you“re never sure, when leaving home for the day, whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along. Last week, the New York Public Library got in the game. Students, researchers, writers, historians, and anyone else who has got used ove

27、r the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule.

28、ntents with you, however, and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them. You return them when you come back for your own bag.

29、hange for people who used to come and bring in half their flats. The people who use the library responsibly will continue to do so. The people who steal will continue to get away with it, if they really want to.“（分数：8.00）(1).What does the writer mainly talk about?（分数：2.00）A.The history of the bag ru

30、les.B.The importance of using libraries.C.Different bags used in our daily life.D.The use of bags and the rules against it.(2).The bag rules in many public buildings require people to（分数：2.00）A.leave the places baglessB.pay for bringing in bagsC.have their bags examinedD.use big clear plastic bags(3

31、).What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?（分数：2.00）A.To change people“s way of reading.B.To help people better use the library.C.To prevent people stealing from the library.D.To stop people from bringing in dangerous things.(4).How is the effect of the new rule according t

32、o the librarian?（分数：2.00）A.Excellent.B.Limited.C.Harmful.D.Unclear.九、第二节 补全文章(总题数：1，分数：10.00)You might be surprised to know that bicycles have existed for about two hundred years, but no one is sure who first made this popular two-wheeled machine. 1 The front wheel was much bigger than the back one,

33、 and also there weren“t any pedals(踏板). Riders had to move themselves forward by pushing their feet against the ground. 2 In 1879 an Englishman had the idea of connecting them to the back wheel with a chain. Gears(齿轮), which made things much easier for those cycling uphill, first appeared in the 189

34、0s. There are now about one billion bicycles in the world. 3 They have to compete with cars on the streets of all the world“s cities, and the two forms of transport don“t always mix well. In London in 2005, for example, over 300 cyclists were either killed or seriously hurt in accidents. Because bic

35、ycles are much more environmentally friendly than cars, now many governments encourage people to ride rather than drive. 4 The number of yearly journeys made by bicycle in London has increased 50% over the last five years. However, although one in three British people owns a bicycle, they still don“

36、t use them nearly as much as they could. 5 It is hoped that more people will rely on bicycles to move around. The reasons are obviouscycling helps to protect the environment, keep us fit, and it is often not only cheaper but also quicker than travelling by car in many cases. A. Pedals finally arrive

37、d in the 1840s. B. Cycling is on the rise in the United Kingdom. C. Bicycles are used for only 2 % of journeys in the UK. D. The first person who made a bicycle was an Englishman. E. The number of bicycles is twice more than that of cars. F. The early models didn“t look much like the bicycles of tod
