B

Wolves are in the news these days, especially with the controversial（有爭(zhēng)議的）Alaskan Wolf Hunting Festival being a focus of public attention. Since these animals are getting more attention in the outer world, they may be more likely to show up in your inner world and may take on many forms and have many meanings.

Wolves live in a pack（狼群）and they have a leader, a guide who is responsible for directing the pack and keeping it safe. If a wolf appears in your dream and you have a positive relationship with the wolf, it may suggest your own leadership abilities. Wolves in dreams may also mean the need for trusting your own internal leader-the soft howl from the bottom of your own heart.

While wolves certainly do howl, it is till unknown why they howl at the moon. The wolf’s how is actually a form of communication. Wolves may howl as a form of making friends, or as a warning, or to indicate that they are last and need help. Is your dream wolf howling? If so, what emotions exist in the dream? Do you feel lost and in need of guidance, do you feel like you’ve lost your “pack”? Do you feel the need to let others know they are crossing your land? Or are you simply filled whit a sense of joy that can only be expressed in a howl?

Wolves can be experienced hunters, and often appear in folk stories as something harmless when in fact it is there to do great harm. Are there any wolves in sheep’s clothing in your life? Often we have intuition（直覺(jué)）about people or situations, feelings that these people or situations should be avoided, but we ignore them based on their harmless outer appearance. Wolves in dreams could be signs that there are hidden dangers in your life. Never ignore your intuition because it doesn’t make any sense. Your intuition exists to guide and protect you and it can discover a wolf  long before it removes its woolen suit.

       A．to support the main idea of the text       B．to introduce the topic of the passage

       C．to show his pity for the wolves       D．to prove wolves are getting more attention

All Eskimos live most of their lives close to sea or fresh water. They may follow game inland for several hundred miles, but they always return to the shores of rivers, lakes, or seas. Eskimo land has a bare look. Large rocks, pebbles, and sand cover much of the surface. Plants called lichen (地衣) grow on the rocks, and where there is enough soil, grass, flowers, and even small bushes manage to live. No trees can grow on Eskimo land, so geographers sometimes call it the Arctic plains. There are some animals in Eskimo land, such as rabbits, which eat the plants. Other animals, like the white fox and the gray wolf, eat the rabbits. The Eskimo is a meat-eater, too, and may even eat a wolf when food is scarce.
The Eskimo year has two main parts: a long, cold winter and a short, cool summer. Spring and fall are almost too short to be noticed. Summer is the best time, as food is usually plentiful. But it is also the time when Eskimos are very busy. Winter is never far away, and the men must bring home extra meat for the women to prepare and store, for seldom can enough animals be killed in winter to feed a family.
The Far North is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun. This is true in the middle of summer, for between April 21st and August 21st the sun never sets in Northern Greenland. But in midwinter the Far North is a land with no sunshine at all. Around Oct. 21st the Eskimos of Northern Greenland see the sun set directly south of them, and they don’t see it again until February 22nd. All places on earth get about the same amount of daylight during a year. As a result, if summer is lighter, winter has to be darker.
Winter nights in the Far North are seldom pitch-black. As in the rest of the world, the stars and moon provide a little light. The northern lights also help the Eskimo to see. And with the ground covered with snow, even a little light is reflected back to the Eskimo’s eyes.
【小題1】Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．Eskimos do not usually eat wolves.
B．Eskimos like to chase one another.
C．Eskimos depend heavily on water.
D．Eskimos are meat-eaters.
【小題2】What’s the meaning of the underlined words “pitch-black” in Paragraph 4?
A．Dark with a little light.
B．A little dark.
C．Not dark at all.
D．Extremely dark.
【小題3】From the passage, we can infer all of the following EXCEPT that_______.

C．meat is the main source of food for the Eskimo

While firing off pictures of a curious five-month-old fox, photographer Simon Czapp soon realized his subject had quite an interest in photography herself. The clever fox was so curious about the camera equipment that she climbed right on top of it. And while she was supposed to be the subject of the shoot, the fox stood on the shutter release button (快門(mén)按鈕) and took her own frames.

    Mr Czapp visited the New Forest Wildlife Park to capture images of new arrival Jessie. She has been at the animal park in Ashurst, Hampshire — home to wolves, deer and other animals in 25 acres of ancient woodland — after being abandoned by her mother.

    Mr Czapp said, “Jessie was very playful and curious and not at all camera shy. Soon after I arrived she was chewing my shoes and everything seemed to be a game to her. Then she started exploring the camera I had set up on a tripod (三腳架). She balanced her front paws on it and at one point knocked it over.”

    He put the camera back on the tripod and Jessie soon jumped back up. At one point she had all four paws on the camera and was keeping her balance. Mr Czapp added, “She jumped up there several times and I realized it could make a good picture. As I was leaving with the public’s viewing window behind me, I thought I heard the camera go off but didn’t think much of it. But when I checked the memory card afterwards, I was amazed to see Jessie had actually taken two pictures of me photographing her. I couldn’t believe a fox had gained an advantage over me! Jessie is a lovely little fox. There were some lovely photos of her but she obviously thought the photographer was worthy of a picture too!”

1.The underlined word “frames” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”.

   A. photographers         B. pictures         C. buttons          D. advantages

2.What do we know about Jessie from the passage?

   A. She arrived at the park five months ago.

   B. She lives at the park together with some other foxes.

   C. She was sent to the park because her mother left her.

   D. She loved the life in the park so much that she left her mother.

3. What is the RIGHT time order of the following steps in Jessie taking a photo?

   a. Jessie pressed the shutter release button.

   b. Mr Czapp left the camera to take a photo.

   c. Jessie climbed onto the camera and balanced herself.

   d. Mr Czapp set up his camera on a tripod.

   e. Jessie stood up to look at the back of the camera.

   A. d, e, c, b, a         B. a, b, c, d, e        C. c, b, e, a, d        D. d, e, b, c, a

4.From the passage we can infer that __________.

   A. foxes are better at photographing than men

   B. some foxes are more friendly than humans

   C. Mr Czapp and Jessie took photos for each other   

   D. Jessie gained an advantage over Mr Czapp in photographing

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014屆甘肅省高一上學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)題 題型：閱讀理解

Howling is a behaviour commonly observed among a wolf pack. As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. There are different explanations of a wolf’s howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.

One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together. It’s almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together. Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harrington, a professor who studies wolf behaviour.

Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? —Why do wolves howl for sure?

What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times. When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.

Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behaviour. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where wolves all howl together to report their presence.

1.What is the possible similarity between wolves’ howling together and humans’ singing in chorus?

A. The act of calling each other.          B. The sense of accomplishment.

C. The act of hunting for something.      D. The sense of belonging to a group.

2.Why does Harrington think the “social bond” theory may be wrong?

A. Wolves separate from each other after howling. 

B. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.

C. Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.

D. Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.

3.Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to ______.

A. show their ranks               B. find their companions

C. report the missing ones          D. express their loneliness

4.“Howling… is a contagious behaviour” (in the last paragraph) means _______.

A. howling is a signal for hunting       

B. howling is a way of communication

C. howling often occurs in the morning   

D. howling spreads from one to another
