It is the grizzly bear (灰熊). Grizzlies (灰熊) can sprint thirty-five plus miles an hour, smell fish at nine or more miles, and drag a thousand-pound animal up steep mountains. The grizzly bear is one of a very few remaining on earth that can kill a human in physical combat. It can remove a human head with a single hit, or cause serious harm to a person in rapid order. Within the last wilderness areas where they live, they are the undisputed king of all beasts. I know this all very well. My name is Timothy Treadwell, and I live with the wild grizzly." Timothy Treadwell (April 29, 1957-October 5, 2003), born Timothy Dexter, gave a warning here that we should all pay attention to. Animals, particularly the bears he knew well, can be deadly. As it turns out, Treadwell should've taken his own advice and respected the danger these animals present. He should've kept his distance from them. If he had, he might be with us today.Who was Timothy Treadwell?Treadwell was an environmentalist and bear enthusiast who livedamong the Coastal brown bears of Katmai National Park in Alaskafor approximately 13 seasons. At the end of his thirteenth season inthe park in 2003, he and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard (age 37)were killed and partially eaten by a brown bear. The attack wasnotable because of the unusual lifestyle of the victims, and thesurvival of an audio recording of the attack. Treadwell's life, work,and death were the subject of the 2005 documentary film byWerner Herzog titled Grizzly Man.Life StoryBorn in Long Island, New York, much of what is known of TimothyTreadwell's life is documented by Treadwell himself. Treadwellcharacterized himself as an actor, recovering alcoholic, former druguser, and hero of the wild. According to his personal accounts, hebecame involved with drugs after failing to gain the role won byhis parents that he was second-choice for the role, but this has notbeen independently verified.Interest in bearsAfter several visits to Alaska in the early 1990's, Treadwell becameinterested in bears and, in the last 5 years of his life, documentedmany of his experiences and interactions with bears via homevideo. Treadwell attributed his recovery from drug use to hisrelationship with bears.By 2001, Treadwell became notable enough to receive extensivemedia attention both on television and in environmental circles.Through his videos, he became known for attempting to createpersonal relationships with the bears he worked with.As an activist, he actively communicated with the public, includingtraveling throughout the United States to educate school childrenabout bears, and appearing on the Discovery Channel, Late Showwith David Letterman, and Dateline NBC to discuss hisexperiences. He was also a co-author, with Jewel Palovak, of thebook Among Grizzlies: Living with Wild Bears in Alaska, where hedescribed his adventures in Alaska.Treadwell, along with his friends Jewel Palovak, and formerAmerican Gladiator Jonathan Byrne founded Grizzly People, apolitical organization devoted to protecting bears and preservingtheir wilderness home. Despite the organization's name, Treadwelldid not associate with grizzly bears, a term properly applied only tobrown bears that live farther inland.DeathIn October 2003, Treadwell and his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard,visited Katmai National Park in Alaska. Treadwell, who nevercarried any means of defense against bear attacks, chose to set hiscampsite near a stream where bears commonly feed in the fall.Treadwell was in the park later in the year than usual, at a timewhen bears fight to gain as much fat as possible before winter, andlimited food supplies cause them to be more aggressive than inother months. It has been noted that food was scarce that fall, andthe bears were therefore more aggressive than usual.On October 6, 2003, Treadwell and Huguenard's bodies wereto pick them up from their trip. A large elderly male bear (taggedBear 141) protecting the campsite was killed by park police whilethey attempted to get the bodies. A second adolescent bear waskilled a short time later after it charged the park police. It was latershown that the first animal had consumed parts of the couples'remains. This bear is not believed to be one of the bears Treadwellusually encountered, though this point is disputed.A video camera, with the lens cap in place, was recovered at thesite. The video camera had been turned on at some point duringthe fatal attack, presumably by Huguenard, but the camerarecorded only six minutes of audio before running out of tape.Treadwell's head, partial backbone, and left arm and hand stillwearing his wrist watch were recovered at the scene. Huguenard'spartial body was found nearby somewhat buried in dirt.Methods and CriticismTreadwell's methods were generally thought unsound by bearexperts and public alike. He named many of the bears heencountered and often moved close enough to them that he couldtouch them and interact with them on a personal level.Many wildlife experts objected to his methods, believing that hisattitude toward the bears was too brave, that he ignored well-knowndangers of working with bears, and that he thought of them toomuch as people. Experts also believe that he endangered theanimals by making them too comfortable with humans, thusincreasing the likelihood of dangerous encounters in the future. Hisdeath by bear attack is seen by some as a natural conclusion of hismethods of interacting with bears.His critics also note that while Treadwell believed that he wasprotecting bears, control experts have stated that incidents of illegalhunting in the area were low and did not affect the population level.However, according to the "Grizzly People" organization hefounded, five bears were killed in the year after his death, whilenone had been killed while he was present in Katmai. This last pointis disputed.Grizzly Man, the FilmIn 2005, director Werner Herzog released Grizzly Man, adocumentary about Treadwell's work with wildlife in Alaska, whichsome of the film that Treadwell took, and also interviews withpeople who knew him, and his appearance on David Letterman.Grizzly Man is generally considered to have a critical take onTreadwell, his methods and his character; many people say thatGrizzly Man made Treadwell look mentally unbalanced. However,Herzog does praise Treadwell's films and pictures.1.There are not many animals that can, like the grizzly,________________.A. inspire respect and fearB. live in wilderness areasC. kill a human in physical combatD. sprint thirty-five plus miles an hour2.Why was the attack on Treadwell and Huguenard notable?________________A.

Because food was scarce that fall.7.Both bear experts and the public think that Treadwell'smethods were ________________.A. unsoundB. good and braveC. personalD. comfortable8.To the eye of some experts, Treadwell's death by bear attackafter six years of hard labor in the swamps (沼泽) and jungles. Over two thousand workmen died from yellow fever and malaria (疟疾). In 1881 a French organization tried to build a canal across the Isthmus (巴拿马地峡). For eleven years workmen struggled against heat and disease. At least 15,000 died before the French gave up their attempts to build the canal. For years the abandoned machinery lay in the jungles. At the close of the Spanish-American War the United States bought a strip of land ten miles wide across the Isthmus. Immediate attention was given to the control of diseases. In two years yellow fever was completely eliminated. Because of the work of American medical heroes, it was possible to build the splendid Panama Canal.1.Prior to the successful completion of the Panama Canal,________.A. France bought a strip of land across the Isthmus ofPanamaB. Malaria was wiped out as a killer diseaseC. one country failed in its attempts to build a canalD. American doctors were honored for their work2.The building of the Panama Canal represents ________.A. man's unyielding desire for progressB. man's unceasing thirst for dangerC. man's ability to resist diseaseD. man's spirit of invention3.What was given priority by the United States?A. Buying a strip of land.B. Starting the building the canal immediately.C. the prevention of illness.D. the Spanish-American War.4.The author presents details according to ________.A. order of importanceB. spatial (空间的) orderC. simple listingD. time order5.What is the main idea of the passage?A. The elimination of yellow fever.B. The discovery of gold in California.C. The efforts recorded in the building of the Panama Canal.D. The work of American medical heroes.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.At one time a traveler could learn about a region by looking at the houses. For example, he or she could understand what building materials were available. In areas with many wood houses, the traveler would have guessed that there were nearby forests. Stone houses would have indicated that stones were easy to get. However, a closer look at the houses would have told the traveler even more about the area.People used to build houses that fitted the climate of their areas. For example, in desert regions there is a big difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures. Therefore, many desert people built houses with very thick walls. These thick walls served a useful purpose in the houses. For example, in the winter the thick walls absorbed the sun's warmth during the day and radiated the heat at night. Desert people were relatively comfortable in their homes, or residences, at all times because they built them to fit the desert climate.Then the supply of fuel for electricity became both cheap and easy to get. The effect on housing was immediate. People began to build their homes according to fashion instead of utility. Houses nolonger reflected the availability of building materials or climate.Houses with steep roofs could be found in the tropics, the warm regions of the Earth, even though these pointed roofs originated in snowy regions of the world. Heavy snow falls off a slanted (歪斜的) roof. Another example is the use of glass. Houses made almost completely of glass could be found in very cold places. Yet ordinary glass does not insulate (绝缘) well because it neither keeps out cold air nor keeps in warm air. As long as fuel was cheap and easy to get, people could build any type of house any place.6.What are two things that a traveler could learn about an areaby looking at the houses?A. The climate is poor and so are the people living in it.B. The climate in the area and the kind of building materialseasy for the people to reach.C. There is a forest nearby and they are on the top of amountain.D. They are near a house and its owner is not there at themoment.7.The main idea of Paragraph 1 is that ________.A. wood is a forest productB. there are no stones in forestsC. houses used to tell about a regionD. people used to travel to learn about houses8.The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that ________.A. thick walls absorb heat from the sunB. people built houses to fit the climateC. people are comfortable in their housesD. in the desert, daytime temperatures are lower thannighttime temperatures9.The main idea of Paragraphs 3 and 4 is that ________.A. heavy snow does not stay on steep roofs返回我的课程。

But how often do you think about thinking?Several years ago a college administrator told me that if he wanted to do any serious thinking, he had to get up at 5:30 in the morning—I suppose because that was the time 1.whenit was best. At that time, no one would 2. interrupt him. More recently I heard a professor remark that when his friends catch him 3. in the act of reading a book, they say, "My, it must be nice to have so much free time." And 4. even though I am an English teacher—a person who should know better—I find myself feeling vaguely guilty 5. wherever I go to the library to read. It is a common belief that if a man is thinking or reading, he is doing nothing.It's easy to understand the reasons for this 6. prejudice against ofprejudice of thinking. One problem is that to most of us, thinking 7. looks suspiciously like doing nothing. A person in deep thought is an uninspiring sight. He 8. leansback in a state of relaxation. He looks relaxed in his chair as he stares 9. into space. He gives every appearance of wasting time. 10. Besides from, he's leaving all the hard work for us!But thinking is far different 11. from laziness. Thinking is one of the most productive activities a person can 12. undertake. And thinking does 13. inquire time and effort. It's a common misconception that if a person is bright, wonderful ideas will 14. flash spontaneously into his mind. Unfortunately, the brain doesn't 15. workmakeeffectedit this way. 16. Even that Einstein had to study and think for months at a time. Thinking was necessary for him before he could 17. make up of his theory of relativity. Those of us who are 18. lessintelligent find it a struggle to create our ideas. To create even a 19. moderately good idea, takes time for thought. I have to spend months for a good idea to enter my head, let 20. lonely a brilliant one. So is it right to take thinking as doing nothing?Choosing a travel companion is at least as uncertain as choosing a marriage partner. The chances of success are perhaps even less.No law of causality (因果关系) exists to insist that in choosing a travel companion you will lose a friend. But it's not unlikely. The odds depend on the length and the rigorousness (严密) of the trip. Some friendships have a strength that will withstand even travel; others are by nature short-lived and travel merely hastens their dissolution (结束,终止).Perhaps I should make it clear that in discussing this matter of travel companions I am confining myself to Platonic (柏拉图式的) friendships.Intimate friends may well be the best companions of all. Compromises and concessions from such companions clearly spring from a recognized emotional base that colors every issue. I'll confine myself, then, to companions, male and female, who are sharing a trip solely for company. Why bother at all with a travel companion? Why not travel alone, shiftily (机智地) pursuing one's goal? Some of the answers are obvious. A pleasant fellow traveler eases the stress and tensions, adds to the delights and rewards and pays half the bills. However, a bad-tempered companion quite often brings you to the point where you devoutly (虔诚地) wish you were alone.Finding that suitable companion is something of an art and something of a gamble. But the choice should be determined by one important rule: travelers should be going on the trip with the same idea in mind. They should hold in common a theory of travel.1. Choosing a travel companion is hard and risky, because _A_______.A. one may lose a friendB. one may suffer financial lossesC. one may be trapped in the dangerous situationD. one may miss the chance of finding the right marriage partner2. When intimate friends travel together, _____C___.A. the trip will hasten their dissolutionB. the trip will make them closer to each otherC. they will find the right ways to solve problems due to their relationshipD. they will make more friends on trip3. It can be inferred from the passage that the companion talked about here is the person _____B___.A. one can think of developing a deeper relationship withB. one can travel with merely for companyC. one can count on for a free travelD. one can learn much from4. Which of the following statements is TRUE? DA. Choosing a travel companion won't lead to the loss of friends.B. Friendships cannot withstand the test of any trip.C. A travel companion is badly needed if one wants to take a trip.D. Like-minded people should travel together.5. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? BA. Travel and Marriage-Two Similar ExperiencesB. Finding a Good Travel Companion-a Risky MatterC. Will Travel Damage the Friendship?D. Should One Travel Alone or in Another's Company?Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.The term "culture shock" has already begun to creep into the popular vocabulary. Culture shock is the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, where a "fixed price" is negotiable, where to be kept waiting in an outer office is no cause for insult, where laughter may signify (意味) anger.The culture shock phenomenon causes a breakdown in communication, a misreading of reality, an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more serious malady (弊病), future shock. Future shock is brought on by the premature arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.Take an individual out of his own culture and set him down suddenly inan environment sharply different from his own, with a different set of cues to react to—different conceptions (概念) of time, space, work, love, religion, sex, and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will be severe. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational under the radically new circumstances, the victim may well become a danger to himself and others.Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society, an entire generation—including its weakest, least intelligent, and most irrational members—suddenly transported into this new world. The result is mass disorientation (迷失方向), future shock on a grand scale.This is the prospect that man now faces. Change is avalanching (把……淹没) upon our heads and most people are unprepared to cope with it.6. Culture shock occurs when ___D_____.A. one loses all hopes of returning to his home environmentB. one expresses ideas and emotions contrary to what he intends to expressC. one cannot make accurate judgment using one's own value standardsD. one cannot conduct negotiations for goods of fixed prices7. Future shock is much more serious than culture shock as ___A_____.A. it concerns the problems of the futureB. it affects people on a grand scaleC. it causes personal insultsD. it destroys the foundation of the society8. The word "cue" in Para. 3 most probably refers to something that__C______.A. puzzles an individualB. disturbs an individual's normal way of lifeC. helps an individual to function in societyD. arouses an individual's interest in the new culture9. One effective way to prevent future shock is to ____A____.A. get people prepared for future changeB. keep people informed of foreign culturesC. have people resist possible future changeD. acquaint people with the harm of future change10. It can be inferred that the author's tone in the passage is ______D__.A. humorousB. exaggeratedC. radicalD. seriousQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In the interval he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and there are few things of which he stands in more fear than of the absence of noise. Even his conversation is in great measure a desperate attempt to prevent a dreadful (可怕的) silence. He knows thatninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing (发出嗡嗡声) of a fly, but he longs to join the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure. The object of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas. It is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz: there is even a buzz that is as exasperating (使人恼怒的) as the continuous ping (砰声) of a mosquito. But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a mute (哑巴). Most buzzing, fortunately, is agreeable to the ear, and some of it is agreeable even to the mind. He would be afoolish man, however, who waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.Those who despise (看不起) the weather as a conversational opening seem to me to be ignorant of the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they have had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing at immense length, they are proud of themselves on their success as conversationalists.11. The significance of man's speaking ability is that _A_______.A. it proves his existence as a manB. it raises his position as a manC. it makes him enjoy meaningful conversationsD. it gets him out of trouble12. The statement that "ninety-nine percent of human conversationmeans no more than the buzzing of a fly" suggests that ________C.A. most of the human conversations are inspiring and instructiveB. most of the human conversations are as irritating as the noise made by a flyC. most of the human conversations can be dismissed as meaninglessD. most of the human conversations can be regarded as the effective activities13. According to the passage, a man will look silly if he _____B___.A. makes mistakes in the conversationB. feels reluctant to join in the conversationC. fails to communicate anything new to others in the conversationD. misunderstands others' meanings in the conversation14. In the author's opinion, the introduction of weather as a conversational opening indicates _____B___.A. the ignorance of the conversationalistB. the start of an acceptable conversationC. the coming of something newD. the boring nature of the conversation15. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?CA. At a dinner party, everyone prefers to talk like a mosquito.B. People despise meaningless conversations.C. People take pride in their roles as conversationalists.D. One can always learn something useful from conversation.测试成绩报告单试卷标准或参考答案将在1 天后显示。

Farmers from this period worshiped their ancestors, a Chinese custom that still persists.The story of China begins with the events described above, and it continues to the modern day. Between then and now, much has happened. And China has produced not only one of the world's great cultures, but also some of the world's greatest thinkers. Here are a few:Confucius (孔子)Confucius, 551-479 B.C., was the Chinese teacher who founded Confucianism (孔子学说), a philosophy and religion that was named after him. Confucius was born of a poor but respected family in the state of Lu (in what is now Qufu, in Shandong). As a young man, he held several minor government posts; in later years, he advanced to become minister of justice in his home state. But he held these positions only for short periods because of conflicts with his superiors. Throughout his life, he was best known as a teacher. By the time of his death at the age of 72, he had taught a total of 3,000 students, who carried on his teaching.Three keys of Confucianism are particularly important. The first is kindness. Confucius considered kindness as something people develop within themselves before it can affect their relations with others. The best way to approach kindness is in terms of enlightened self-interest, that is, putting the self in the position of the other and then treating the other accordingly. Two sayings of Confucius best express this idea: "Do not do to others what you would not like yourself"; and "Do for others what you wish others to do for you." Kindness means the practice of these two sayings. The second key concerns the superior man. The superior man is one who practices kindness regardless of family background. A superior man is a person who acts well, not necessarily a person who is born into a wealthy or highly-respected family. Good behavior is the third key. Confucius emphasized right behavior in one's relations; man should act in accordance with good behavior. Thus one behaves well toward the other. Such behavior includes social norms that guide people in their social relations. For instance, a person must show respect to people in higher positions of family and society. A son must respect his father, a member of society must respect government leaders, and so on. In addition,the people in higher positions must care for the people in lower positions. Failure to keep to these rules can result in something terrible happening.The sayings of Confucius were later placed into a book. Confucius is also considered the author of other books, including a history of the state of Lu from 771 to 579.Mencius (孟子)The Chinese philosopher Mencius, 372-289 B.C., was a leading believer of Confucianism. Born in what is today Shandong, he lived during the period of the Warring States (403-222 B.C.), when a handful of competing states were fighting one another for the control of China. Traveling from one state to another as a traveling political advisor, Mencius spent 40 years trying to persuade the warring kings to be righteous rulers rather than to rely on military conquests. Disappointed in this effort, he devoted the remaining 20 years of his life to teaching.The chief belief of Mencius is the original goodness of human nature, which is given by heaven and possessed by everyone. Mencius argued that every person has four feelings: sympathy, shame and dislike, respect, and right and wrong. These four feelings can be further developed into the four moral virtues: kindness, righteousness, politeness, and wisdom. After his death, his teachings were placed into the Book of Mencius, a work of classic Confucian philosophy that has greatly influenced Chinese philosophy.Laozi (老子)The philosophy of the Laozi (4th century B.C.) developed earlier philosophies into a theory that valued nature and natural action. What is more, Laozi saw opposites as part of the same system. For example, good and bad, beautiful and ugly, high and low, and "exists" and "exists-not", were all equal and united. They also shaped desires. When one could abandon knowledge of names, distinctions, and socially induced tastes or desires, spontaneous, or natural, behavior resulted.Zhuangzi (庄子)Zhuangzi (399-295 B.C.), aware of the criticism against Laozi, constructed a more sensible version of Laozi's theory. Rather thantreating all language as bad, he allowed that all language use was equally natural and that all the disputing theorists were equally "pipes of heaven". Because all language expresses a contextual standpoint, or perspective, from which terms are used, any attempt to judge or rank perspectives itself must be from some other perspectives. Thus, all ways of dividing the world into "things" remain equal. None is uniquely the belief of heaven and nature.It is not necessary, however, to give up language or to stop following beliefs. Humans naturally advocate and follow beliefs just as young birds naturally sing. Zhuangzi advocated openness to all perspectives, suggesting many ways to evaluate one's way through life. Music playing, butchering, and the analysis of names are among the traditional examples given for training responses. Mastery can be achieved through any skill and can be characterized by the spiritual sense of having moved past deliberate skill through guidance of the spiritual forces of the universe. Undiscovered ways may teach techniques of unimaginable power. Although Zhuangzi argued against the preference for life over death, his religion came to work for a way, among the infinite number of undiscovered ways, that led to long life.1.From the first paragraph we know that Upper Cave Man________________.A. was discovered in southwest ChinaB. lived about 500,000 years agoC. was a fully advanced humanD. could hunt, fish and make objects2.In which part of China did the agricultural way of life firstoccur?A.

The term "culture shock" has already begun to creep into the popular vocabulary. Culture shock is the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, where a "fixed price" is negotiable, where to be kept waiting in an outer office is no cause for insult, where laughter may signify (意味) anger.The culture shock phenomenon causes a breakdown in communication, a misreading of reality, an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more serious malady (弊病), future shock. Future shock is brought on by the premature arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.Take an individual out of his own culture and set him down suddenly in an environment sharply different from his own, with a different set of cues to react to—different conceptions (概念) of time, space, work, love, religion, sex, and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will be severe. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational under the radically new circumstances, the victim may well become a danger to himself and others.Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society, an entire generation—including its weakest, least intelligent, and most irrational members—suddenly transported into this new world. The result is mass disorientation (迷失方向), future shock on a grandscale.This is the prospect that man now faces. Change is avalanching (把……淹没) upon our heads and most people are unprepared to cope with it.6.Culture shock occurs when ________.A. one loses all hopes of returning to his home environmentB. one expresses ideas and emotions contrary to what heintends to expressC. one cannot make accurate judgment using one's ownvalue standardsD. one cannot conduct negotiations for goods of fixed prices7.Future shock is much more serious than culture shock as________.A. it concerns the problems of the futureB. it affects people on a grand scaleC. it causes personal insultsD. it destroys the foundation of the society8.The word "cue" in Para. 3 most probably refers to somethingthat ________.A. puzzles an individualB. disturbs an individual's normal way of lifeC. helps an individual to function in societyD. arouses an individual's interest in the new culture9.One effective way to prevent future shock is to ________.返回我的课程。
