He hunted(打猎) wild animals there. He also took other men hunt

22、ing. That was his work. One day a letter brought Andy a new job. This job changed both his feeling about animals 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?“ Andys two sons want

23、ed their father to take the job. “We will help you!“ they said. Bighorn sheep are very wild. Andy knew it would 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

24、hid behind rocks, but the sheep always ran away. Then one day, Andy and his sons walked around a big rock. They 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 se

25、e us. “ The next day, Andy saw some sheep right out in the open. He and his sons walked toward them. The men did 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. The

26、y will run away.“ The men looked off to this side and to that side, but they walked closer and closer. And soon they were close enough to get good clear pictures. They made good friends with the wild sheep and sent many fine pictures to the writer for his story. Since then, they have never hunted th

27、e bighorn sheep again.（分数：6.00）(1).What was the new job Andy got?（分数：2.00）A.To hunt bighorn sheep.B.To write a story of bighorn sheep.C.To protect bighorn sheep.D.To take pictures of bighorn sheep.(2).What is the right way to get close to bighorn sheep?（分数：2.00）A.Look directly at them.B.Walk slowly

29、nd animals live together. Some animals eat plants they live with. Some plants stay alive 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 peop

30、le. It takes all the plants and animals living together to keep the earth a good place 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 s

31、omething called carbon(碳) in it. Animals cant use this air again. But plants need carbon. 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

32、 they make inside themselves. But what do the plants get in return? Many things. Plants 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. Birds and other animals eat the fruit in which s

33、eeds grow and often drop the seeds where they can grow up into new plants. So animals 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 co

35、is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time, and that 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 popula

36、r interest toward tight or pocketless clothing, or cheap bagmaking labor overseas. But, much as nature finds wayssuch as disease-to control overpopulation, city life has thrown up impediments(障碍) to bags. To enter many public buildings, theatres, ballparks, and perhaps even underground railway stati

37、ons, you must go through a search or go bagless. The city has 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, research

38、ers, writers, historians, and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule. You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library. If you walk in with

39、 one, you must leave it at the coat check. You may keep its contents with you, however, and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them. You return them when you come back for your own bag. What the library is trying to prevent, in this case, is people taking things out, rather than bringin

40、g things in. A librarian said on the second day, “It s a big change 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

41、 writer mainly talk about?（分数：2.00）A.The history of the bag rules.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

42、 in bagsC.have their bags examinedD.use big clear plastic bags(3).What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?（分数：2.00）A.To change peoples 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 dan

43、gerous things.(4).How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?（分数：2.00）A.Excellent.B.Limited.C.Harmful.D.Unclear.8.补全文章_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 fr

44、ont wheel was much bigger than the back one, 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 th

45、ose cycling uphill, first appeared in the 1890s. There are now about one billion bicycles in the world. 3 They have to compete with cars on the streets of all the worlds cities, and the two forms of transport dont always mix well. In London in 2005, for example, over 300 cyclists were either killed

46、or seriously hurt in accidents. Because bicycles 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 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 obvious cycling helps to protect the environment, keep us fit, and it is often not only cheaper but also
