Mom was a teacher most of her life. When she wasn't in the classroom, she was educating her children or grandchildren; correcting our grammar; starting us on collections of butterflies, flowers or rocks; or inspiring a discussion on her most recent ''Book of the Month Club'' topic. Mom made learning fun. It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her suffering in her later years. At eighty-five, she suffered a stroke and she went steadily downhill after that. Two days before she died, my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair. While we waited for the staff to lift her limp body back into bed, Mom fell asleep. Not wanting to wake her, we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly. After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a muffled sound coming from across the room. We stopped talking and looked at Mom. Her eyes were closed, but she was clearly trying to communicate with us. We went to her side. '' Whrr, '' she said weakly. ''Where? '' I asked. ''Mom, is there something you want? '' ''Whrr, '' she repeated a bit stronger. My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly. Mom opened her eyes, sighed, and with all the energy she could gather said, '' Not was. Say were! '' It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother Jim’s last sentence. ''if it was up to me…'' Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek. ''Thanks, Mom, '' he whispered.

The Galapagos Islands are in the Pacific Ocean, off the western coast of South America. They are a rocky, lonely spot, but they are also one of the most unusual places in the world. One reason is that they are the home of some of the last giant tortoises left on earth. Weighing hundreds of pounds, these tortoises go slowly around the rocks and sand of the islands. Strangely, each of these islands has its own particular kinds of tortoises. There are seven different kinds of tortoises on the eight islands, and each kind is slightly different from the other. Hundreds of years ago, thousands of tortoises were around these islands. However, all that changed when people started landing there. When people first arrived in 1535, crews would seize as many tortoises as they could. They would roll the tortoises onto their backs when they were brought onto the ships. The tortoises were completely helpless once on their backs, so they could only lie there until used for soups and stews. Almost 100,000 tortoises were carried off in this way. The tortoises faced other problems, too. Soon after the first ships, settlers arrived, bringing pigs, goats, donkeys, dogs and cats. All of these animals ruined life for the tortoises. Donkeys and goats ate all the plants that the tortoises usually fed on, while the pigs, dogs and cats ate thousands of baby tortoises each year. Within a few years, it was hard to find any tortoise eggs or even any baby tortoises. Finally, in the 1950s, scientists decided that something must be done. The first part of their plan was to remove as many cats, dogs and other animals as they could from the islands. Next, they tried to make sure that more baby tortoises would be born; This slow, hard work continues today, and, thanks to it, the number of tortoises is now increasing every year. Perhaps these wonderful animals will not disappear after all. 1.What makes the Galapagos Islands unusual? A.The biggest islands in the Pacific Ocean. B.Rocky, lonely spot. C.The giant tortoises. D.Many homes for tourists. 2.What can be learned from Paragraph 2? A.Tortoises weigh a hundred pounds. B.Tortoises move around very fast. C.There are different kinds of tortoises. D.Tortoises are larger than the ones in other places. 3.What did first comers to the island do with tortoises hundreds of years ago? A.People cooked them as food. B.Scientists took measures to protect them. C.Pigs, dogs and cats ate many baby tortoises. D.Settlers brought other tortoises to the islands. 4.What happened soon after people brought animals to the islands? A.Tortoise eggs were kept in safe containers. B.The animals ate the tortoises’ food and eggs. C.The tortoises continued to wander freely. D.The tortoises fought against the other animals. 5.What happened to the tortoises because of the scientists’ effort? A.The tortoises began to disappear gradually. B.The number of tortoises began to decrease. C.Scientists took away other animals off the islands. D.There are more and more giant tortoises on the islands.

阅读表达 When Dan Shaw gets up from the sofa in his home, Cuddles is never far away. When he wants to go outside, he doesn't take Cuddles out for a walk—Cuddles takes him for a walk. Cuddles is clearly no ordinary family pet. It is a two-foot-high small horse and serves as the guiding eyes of Shaw, who is blind. When Shaw lost his sight, his wife suggested he apply for a guide dog. Shaw, an animal lover, said he couldn't bear to part with a dog (which usually lives about eight to ten years) and get used to a new one, perhaps several times in his life. Then Shaw heard of a program about the tiny guide horses. He learned that the horse possess many qualities that make them an excellent choice for guiding people. They are clean, friendly, smart and have great memories. They can be trained to remain calm in noisy and crowded places. Best of all, they live for 25 years, which would enable Shaw to have the same guide companion for most or all of his life. Shaw immediately applied to be and was accepted as the first person to receive a guide horse. The instant he met Cuddles, he knew he was making the right choice. Then he began his training. Through training, Shaw and Cuddles learned to find way on busy streets and find elevator buttons. Cuddles even showed its ability to step in front of Shaw and block him, to prevent him from walking into a dangerous situation. The little horse also expertly led Shaw through busy shopping malls. They got along without any difficulty. Now Shaw is confident that Cuddles will change his life for the better. 1.What is the main reason why Shaw chose a horse as his guide? (No more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________________. 2.What does the passage mainly tell us? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________. 3.What will Shaw's future life be like with the help of Cuddles? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________. 4.What's the meaning of the underlined word ''malls'' in the last paragraph? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________. 5.In your opinion, how should man get along with animals?
