When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”.But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness.

In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about 38 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their
mothers. They also know how to 39 full use of the shape of land to 40 sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be 41 experts good at fighting. The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 42 . Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A 43 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves 44 nothing. All the wolves obey the rules. 45 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork 46 makes wolves powerful.
The wolves also have great self-respect and won’t 47 to anyone. The writer, who wrote t he book “The Wolf Totem”, 48 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 49 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 50 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was 51 and he never gave in, fighting
52 his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.
I was shocked by this kind of 53 : wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a 54 way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and 55 in this not simple and dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!

A
What if your school decided to give you cold hard cash in exchange for doing well in tests? Think you would work harder to improve your scores? That’S the experiment being conducted by a number of schools in Virginia Beach and so far, the results have been quite encouraging．However，before you get your hopes up，the encouragement is not being offered to kids in every grade—Only high school students who are motivated enough to register for Advanced Placement(AP)courses and，take the tests．Also，not everyone who takes the test is qualified for the cash—Only students with a score of 3 and above maximum is 5)，the level at which they
are exempt(豁免)from taking the course in college，are rewarded．And while ＄100 seems like a lot of money，most of it is used for paying to take the exams．The students usually end up getting about＄20 per test．The funding for this program，which is being tested in about a dozen high schools，has been obtained from The National Math and Science Initiative，a public-private partnership set up to encourage high-school students to take up more challenging courses．
While this is a rather unusual way of encouraging students to step up to the challenge，it seems to be working．Salem High School，which is participating in the program, is experiencing a large increase in the number of students registering in AP courses．The teachers are also quite pleased —For not only are they receiving additional training，but also，funding in a large sum rather than piecemeal，enabling them to acquire the class materials all at one time．Sounds like a win—win for everyone．Do you think paying students to study is a good idea?
56．Who can get the cold hard cash according to the text?
A．Kids in every grade．B．Students getting a score of 3 and above in the test．
C．Only high school students．D．Students taking the tests．
57．What can we learn about The National Math and Science lnitiative? A．It encourages students to earn money．
B．It is a public cooperation．
C．It supplies funding to the program．
D．It is Fun by several high schools．
58．Salem High School is mentioned in Paragraph 5 to show that________．A．the program is working well
B．all schools are active in the program
C．all students are interested in AP courses
D．teachers can benefit from the program
59．Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．Paying students to study is not popular．
B．The experiment proves to be encouraging．
C．Students rewarded must take all courses．
D．The program doesn’t encourage challenge．
60．The author`s attitude towards paying students to study was that of________.
A．doubt B．unconcern C．objection D．approval
B
A Blog as Therapy for Teenagers
In the days before the instantly typed “OMG Where R U?” the first words many teenagers wrote during their worried moments were“Dear Diary．”After several paragraphs of writing adolescent anxiety onto paper, the diarist often felt better．Research has long backed the thera –peutic(治疗的)value of diary-keeping for teenage girls and boys．But according to a new study，when teenagers detail their troubles onto a blog，the therapeutic value is even greater.
To track teenagers’experiences with blogging，the researchers randomly surveyed high school students in Israel and selected 162 of them(124 girls
and 38 boys)who exhibited some level of social anxiety or stress．The teenagers，who averaged 15 years old．said they had difficulty making new friends or relating to their existing friends．
The teenagers were averagely divided into six groups．The first two groups were asked to blog about their social difficulties，with one group asked to open their posts to ments．The second two groups were asked to blog about whatever struck their adolescent fancy；again．with one group allowing ments．All four groups were told to write in their blogs at least twice a week. As a control，two more groups were told to keep either an old—fashioned print diary or to do nothing at all．
All of their blog entries were then gone over by four psychologists to determine the authors’relative social and emotional state．In all the groups，the greatest improvement in mood occurred among those bloggers who wrote about their problems and allowed menters to respond. Interestingly，the menters on the blogs were almost supportive．
“The only kind of surprise we had Was that almost all ments made by readers were very positive and constructive in trying to offer support for suffering bloggers,”Dr．Barak wrote in an e—mail．The findings may hold in the real virtual world as well．“I definitely write posts in which I talk about trouble，and it helps me to relax，”said Royar Loflin，a 17-year-old blogger from Norfolk，Va．
61.What is better to reduce adolescent anxiety according to a new study?
A. posing a poem． B．Keeping a diary．
C．Writing a blog．D．Doing hornework．
62.The new study was carried out by selecting__________.
A．special students in colleges
B．some stressful senior students at random
C．some students in Israel primary schools
D．162 single-sex children in high schools
63．How many students were allowed to write blogs online?
A．162． B．108．C．81．D．54．
64．How did psychologists feel about the menters’supportive attitude? A．Disappointed． B．Confused．C．Amused．D．Worried．
65.It can be inferred that Royar Loflin could get very__________. A．destructive ments from readers
B· constructive ments from psychologists
C．destructive ments from his family
D．supportive ments from readers
C
Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance．The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly．
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family．Timing is another consideration．Some children get a weekly allowance．Others get a monthly allowance．
In any case，parents should make clear what，if anything，the child is expected to pay for with the money．
At first，young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they
receive it．If they do this，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget．Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance．The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving．Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs，like clothing or electronics．
Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause．They can spend it by buying things they want．Or they can save and maybe even invest(投资)it．
Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice：you have to cut costs and plan for the future．Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing．Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance．A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of pound interest(利息)．That may not seem like a lot．But over time it adds up．
66．Parents give their children allowance to__________．
A．show off their wealth B．1et them make more money C．1et children manage family finance D． 1earn the value of money 67．The second paragraph is mainly about___________．
A．the amount of allowance B．what to be considered about allowance C．the time allowance should be given D．how to spend allowance 68．Why are parents advised not to offer young children more money in
advance?
A．To show them how to make a budget． B．To save money for larger costs．C．To let children make fewer mistakes D．To give them more allowance next time．
69．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Children need not save their allowance．
B．Saving can help children plan future finance．
C．Children can buy everything with their allowance．
D．All children must have a savings account．
70．The author intends to _________．
A．make parents aware of the children`s allowances
B．show the methods of investing
C．give advice on how to save money
D．introduce the advantages of allowances

In my first week as a graduate student at Cambridge University in 1964, I came across a fellow student，two years ahead of me in his studies；he was unsteady on his feet and spoke with great difficulty．This was Stephen Hawking．I learned that he had a bad disease and might not live long enough even to finish his Ph．D．degree．
But，amazingly，he has reached the age of 70. Even mere survival would have been a medical wonder, but of course he didn’t merely survive．He has bee arguably the most famous scientist in the world—for his brilliant research，for his bestselling books，and，above all, for his astonishing
success over adversity(逆境）.
In 1964 Stephen received his“death sentence，”against ever celebrating this uniquely inspiring achievement．Stephen went from St．Albans School to Oxford University . He was a “laid back”undergraduate，but his brilliance earned him a first-class degree，and an“entry ticket”to a research career in Cambridge．
Within a few years of his disease he was wheelchair-bound，and his speech was unclear. But his scientific career went from strength to strength：he quickly came up with a series of insights into the nature of black holes and how our universe began．In 1974 he was elected to the Royal Society at the early age of 32．
The great at advances in science generally involve discovering a link between phenomena that were unconnected—for instance，Isaac Newton famously realized that the force making an apple fall was the same as the forlce that held the moon and planets in their orbits．
Stephen’s theory has still not been tested．However，it has been hugely influential；indeed，one of the main achievements of string theory has been to confirm his idea .He has un-doubtedly done more than anyone else since Einstein to improve our knowledge of gravity and he is one of the top10 living theoretical physicists．
7 1．When did Stephen Hawking study as a graduate student?
A．In 1960． B．In 1962． C．In 1964．D．In 1966．
72．What impressed the author most in Stephen Hawking?
A．His brilliant research．B．His bestselling books．
C．His serious disease．D．His success over adversity.
73．What made Stephen Hawking start research career in Cambridge? A．His“death sentence”． B．Being“laid back”undergraduate．
C．His brilliant gift． D．His second-class degree．
74．Whose theory was still in the process of being proved?
A．Isaac Newton`s．B.Albert Einstein`s. C．Stephen Hawking’s．D.The author’s．
75．What is the text mainly about?
A．Stephen Hawking and his success over adversity
B．Stephen Hawking and his fellows
C．The disease Stephen Hawking suffered

〔1〕Secondhand smoke is a byproduct of cigarette, cigar or pipe smoking. Secondhand smoke occurs when tobacco burns or when smokers exhale, and it is inhaled( 吸入) involuntarily by non-smokers.
〔2〕Secondhand smoke___________________. The first is called side stream smoke, which is the smoke released from the burning end of a cigarette
or cigar, or from tobacco burning in the bowl of a pipe. The second is called mainstream smoke, which is exhaled by a smoker.
〔3〕When nonsmokers are exposed to secondhand smoke, they inhale many of the same cancer-causing chemicals that smokers inhale. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 chemical pounds, including more than 50 cancer-causing chemicals, and at least 250 chemicals that are either toxic or carcinogenic.
〔4〕Both side stream and mainstream smoke are dangerous to nonsmokers. Side stream smoke is generated at lower temperatures and under different conditions than mainstream smoke. As a result, it contains higher concentrations of many of the toxins found in cigarette smoke.
