11．The elephant was lying heavily on its side，fast asleep．A few dogs started barking at it．The elephant woke up in a terrible anger：it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety．That didn't stop the elephant．It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people．The villagers were scared and angry．Then someone suggested calling Parbati，the elephant princess．
   Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer．He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk．He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up--how to catch wild elephants．
   Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle．After a happy childhood hunting with her father，she was sent to boarding school in the city．But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife．"Life in the city is too dull．Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase，"she says．
   But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun．"My work，"she says，"is to rescue man from the elephants，and to keep the elephants safe from man．"And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years．Increasingly，the Indian elephant is angry：for many years，illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land．It is now fighting back．Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village，Parbati is called to
guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill．
   The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion．A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant．"Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them．They are also more loyal than humans，"she said，as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant，happy animal．An elephant princess indeed!

65．For Parbati，catching elephants is mainly to．B
A．get long lasting excitement              B．keep both man and elephants safe
C．send them back to the jungle             D．make the angry elephants tame
66．Before Parbati studied in a boarding school，A
A．she spent her time hunting with her father
B．she learned how to sing love songs
C．she had already been called an elephant princess
D．she was taught how to hunt tigers
67．Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge becauseC．
A．they are caught and sent for heavy work
B．illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C．they are attacked and their land gets limited
D．dogs often bark at them and chase them
68．The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in IndiaB．
A．people easily fall victim to elephants'attacks
B．the man-elephant relationship is getting worse
C．elephant tamers are in short supply
D．dogs are as powerful as elephants．

8．When Duke University refused to accept Siobhan O'Dell，17，by sending her a rejection letter，she refused to take it quietly．
The teenager，from North Carolina，had applied to the famous college in her home state，but in March she was sent a letter telling her she had failed． Mirroring the standard format of college rejection letters，she wrote back："Dear Duke University，thank you for the rejection letter of March 26，2015．After careful consideration，I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me admission into the fall 2015freshman class at Duke．"
Her conclusion reads："Therefore I will be attending Duke University's 2015freshmen class．I look forward to seeing you then．"
Speaking to a newspaper about the letter，Siobhan said："They sent me a typical college rejection letter saying this year they had an outstanding pool of applicants…blah，blah，blah．It made me realize how much power universities have over students．High School graduates labor over applications，stress over waiting，and sometimes cry over the answer．Then that's it．"
"The college has all the power．But what if that wasn't it？What if we got to treat the college like they treated us？I wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine．"
Officials at Duke were unmoved by the teenager's courage and obvious intelligence．They did eventually respond to her letter，but didn't appear to share the joke and her sense of humor，instead telling her that"We don't simply reopen and review the file"and"It's very rare that we learn something that leads us to change our decision．"While Miss O'Dell's letter didn't earn her a place there，it seems to have got the attention of students on campus，and is even set to feature in the college newspaper．
However，all's well that ends well for Siobhan O'Dell，who has now been accepted by the University of South Carolina．"I'm going to major in biology and I look forward to going to USC this fall．"
35．Siobhan O'Dell wrote to Duke University officials toB．
A．inform them she would attend Duke anyway
B．express her feelings in a humorous way
C．tease them for the mistake they made
D．demand them to change the decision
36．What was Duke University's response to her letterB？
A．They are moved by her courage and intelligence．
B．They wrote a letter turning her down again．
C．They ran a story about her in newspaper．
D．They promised her to review her file．
37．The underlined word in the second paragraph may be replaced by"D"．
A．Reflecting   B．Commenting   C．Criticizing  D．Imitating
38．We can infer from the passage thatC．
A．officials at Duke don't know how to appreciate humor
B．high school graduates are under too much pressure
C．students have little power over admission decisions
D．universities should not reject students'application．
