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

23、is 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 would be ha

24、rd 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. They met s

25、ome sheep face to face. But the sheep didnt 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 did not t

26、ry 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. They will run away. “ The men looked off to this side and to that side, but they walked closer and closer. And soon the

27、y 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.

Some animals eat plants they live with. Some plants stay alive because ma

30、ny 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 to live in.

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

32、 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. Plants make food fr

33、om 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.

36、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 bagmaking labor overseas.

37、But, much as nature finds ways such 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 stations, you must go through a search or go bagless. The city has countless bag rules.

38、 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 over the years to treat

39、ing 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 one, you must leave it at the coat check. You may keep its contents with you, how

40、ever, 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 bringing things in. A librarian said on the second day, “It s a big change for people who

41、 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. “ 57 What does the writer mainly talk about? （ A） The history of the bag rules. （ B） The importance of using

42、 libraries. （ C） Different bags used in our daily life. （ D） The use of bags and the rules against it. 58 The bag rules in many public buildings require people to_. （ A） leave the places bagless （ B） pay for bringing in bags （ C） have their bags examined （ D） use big clear plastic bags 59 What is th

43、e purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library? （ 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. 60 How is the effect of the new rule according to the

44、 librarian? （ A） Excellent. （ B） Limited. （ C） Harmful. （ D） Unclear. 补全文章 60 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. 【 B1】 _The front wheel was much bigger than the back one, and also

45、there weren t any pedals(踏板 ). Riders had to move themselves forward by pushing their feet against the ground. 【 B2】 _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 1890s.

46、 There are now about one billion bicycles in the world.【 B3】 _They have to compete with cars on the streets of all the world s cities, and the two forms of transport dont always mix well. In London in 2005, for example, over 300 cyclists were either killed or seriously hurt in accidents. Because bic

47、ycles are much more environmentally friendly than cars, now many governments encourage people to ride rather than drive.【 B4】 _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

48、don t use them nearly as much as they could. 【 B5】 _ 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 quicker than travelling by car in many cases. APedals final

49、ly arrived in the 1840s. BCycling is on the rise in the United Kingdom. CBicycles are used for only 2% of journeys in the UK. DThe first person who made a bicycle was an Englishman. EThe number of bicycles is twice more than that of cars. FThe early models didn t look much like the bicycles of today. GCycling helps improve peoples health. 61 【 B1】 62 【 B2】 63 【 B3
