Some people think that all wild animals are very dangerous. Actually, very few of them will attack a man if he leaves them alone. If you met a lion or an elephant, suppose, you would run away, but even a lion will keep away from a man unless it is very hungry. Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too old and too weak to catch their usual food, such as deer and other small animals. If you saw a wild elephant, perhaps you would be frightened. Elephants usually run away at once unless you attack them. Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man; some take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction. Wild animals only attack hunters when they are afraid that the hunters mean to harm their young ones, or then the hunters shoot at them and make them angry. 1.The word “attack” is closest in meaning to _____________ .

Millions of years ago dinosaurs (恐龙) lived on the earth. In the days of dinosaurs the whole earth was warm and wet. There were green forests and they could find enough to eat. Later, parts of the earth became cold and dry. and the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out. We can guess another reason. New kinds of animals came on the earth. Some had big brains and were fast and strong. They could kill dinosaurs. There may be other reasons that we don’t know about yet. Scientists are trying to make more discoveries about dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were of many sizes and shapes (形状). Some were as small as chickens, while some were about 90 feet long.

Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast. As your eyes move along the line of print, they make fixations (固定) or pauses. It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group of words quickly and move on to another group. The number of letters or words that you see at a fixation is called your eye span. Pay more attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read. The way in which you read always depends on what you are reading and for what purpose. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can apply whatever method that is necessary. Here are four ways of reading: (1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish to review something that you have forgotten. You can skim to get the main points. (2) Rapid first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this type of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson. (3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This type of reading is necessary for making an intensive (精深的) study of your school subjects, solving Maths problems or reading directions. (4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. you may also do rapid reading when reviewing material that you already know well. 1.The main reason for reading fast is that you can _______what you are fast reading.

friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 36 was he found himself unable to ask for help — his mobile phone went out of 37 as a result of exhausted (用尽的)battery. Nothing could be done but to 38 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 39 of the rescue. It is almost 40 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 41 : "First of all I checked up my 42 conditions and found myself not in mortal (致命的)danger. As there was no 43 to call for help ,I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 44 .In this way I dozed (打盹)off ." His story put an end to my regret for the 45 of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men 46 to explore a mountain cave and got lost . 47 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 48 .Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion(筋疲力尽).According to the 49 people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 50 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 51 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering (闪烁)not far away . Don’t you think that you can compare it with 52 itself? When you meet with obstacles (障碍)in life and work ,you are lost in darkness. 53 you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle 54 . It seems to be a negative (消极的)attitude, 55 a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place

Music comes in many forms; most countries have a style of their own. The US is well known for jazz (爵士乐), which has gained world-wide popularity. In contrast to classical (古典的) music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is natural and free-form. It is full of energy, expressing the moods, interests, and feelings of the people. It has a modern sound that makes people very excited. In the 1920s jazz sounded like America. And So it does today. The origins of this music are as interesting as the music itself. Jazz was produced by American blacks, who were brought to the Southern States as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners (种植园主) and forced to work long hours in the cotton and tobacco fields. This work was hard and life was short. When a Negro died, his friends and relatives formed a group to carry the body to the cemetery. A band often went with them. On the way to the cemetery the band played slow and sad music. But on the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Everybody was happy. Death had removed one of their members, but the living were glad to be alive. The band played happy music, which made everyone want to dance. It was an early form of jazz. Music has always been important in their lives. Coming mainly from West Africa, the black men who were brought to America already possessed a rich musical tradition. This music centered on religious ceremonies (宗教的仪式) in which dancing, singing, clapping and stamping (顿足) to the beat of a drum were important forms of musical expression. As these people settled in to their fields, they made up work songs. Singing made the hard work go faster. Another musical form that helped to develop jazz was the blues. Blues songs always describe something sad — an unhappy love affair, a money problem, bad luck. To this day, the expression “feeling blue” means being sad. 1.Through jazz, people can express______.
2.Which of the following is true according to the text?
3.The underlined sentence “Spirits lilted,” suggested that______.
4.What should be the best tide for this passage? A. A Light Music. B. Black men’s Music. C. The Origin of the Jazz Music. D. The Popular Music—Jazz in the U.S.A. 5.Why did the band play happy music on the way home from the cemetery?
