A pack generally includes only one breeding pair and their offspring, but occasionally it may include one or two42 wolves. Occasionally, different packs join together during difficult times, such as harsh winters, to find and bring down large game(猎物).The 43 nature of these packs is remarkable. Raising the pups, for instance, is a collective responsibility.Adult wolves in the pack may bring 44 to the mother while she is nursing; later they will feed the growing pups on partly 45 food they have regurgitated(反当）.Various adult wolves watch over the young ones,46 them, playing with them, and teaching them to hunt. Wolves, which usually live in northern forests, often search for food with all other wolves in the pack, working collectively to bring down large animals such as caribou and elk. Each pack usually has its own 47for hunting.Wolves are protective of these territories, and they sometimes kill other wolves that trespass(擅自进入).When members of a pack are separated 48 -including howling, yelping and growlinghelp them communicate across long distances, stay in touch during hunting forays, and49their territory.Each wolf occupies a particular place in the hierarchy(等级）of the pack, in which high-ranking, powerful wolvescalled dominant wolves- 50 the weaker,subordinate wolves. The leading male wolf is often designated(指定）the alpha male, and the leading female is the alpha female. When a dominant member of the pack encounters a subordinate one, the dominant wolf stands erect, holding its tail high and its ears forward; it many also growl or bare its teeth. The subordinate wolf,51, crouches down, lowers its tail between its legs, and flattens its ears; it may whine as well. It is possible that this submissive(温顺的）posture may play an important role in creating 52 bonds between wolves.According to current studies, the alpha pair in wolf pack is the only53 pair. Alpha status in a wolf pack is 54permanent, however. New research suggests that as younger wolves pair off，they assume the alpha roles, and animals no longer breeding 55their alpha status.41.

Many argue that it is an effective deterrent (威慑) to murder（谋杀）, while others think there is no enough proof that the death penalty reduces the number of murders. The argument advanced by those who are against the death penalty is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is a mark of a bad society and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent (威慑物) to crime (罪行) anyway.In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary action. Throughout recorded history there have always been those peculiar persons in every society who made terrible crimes such as murder. But some are more dangerous than others. For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in time of blind anger, but quite another to coldly plan and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of different degree. While it could be argued with some reason that the criminal in the first instance should be merely kept from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to discussion. But the majority of people believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is proved by the fact that the death penalty prevents murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was carried out from time to time in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100, 000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been done only once, and the murder rate has risen to10.4 murders for each 100, 000 population. The sharp climb in the states murder rate, which began when killings stopped, does not happen by chance. It certainly shows that the death penalty does stop many murderers. If the law about death penalty is vetoed (否决), some people will be murdered-some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is really a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of people must be protected. (B) Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.Kings Art Centre A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists. You could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters or get more creative with paint-free of charge. The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic Garden The Garden has over 8,000 plants species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University. The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss. Get to the display house to see Dionaea musipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals. The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called Hissing Sid is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byrons Pool Many stories surround Lord Byrons time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. Im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village. It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byrons Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you dont trust me, then perhaps youll take it from Virginia Woolf - over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.59. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for .A. attending the masters classB. working with local artistsC. learning life drawingD. seeing an exhibition60 “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are .A. common insectsB. impressive plantsC. rarely-seen snakesD. wildlife- enthusiasts61. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed .A. to fear pet bearsB. to like walkingC. to be a heavy drinkerD. to finish university in 180562. What is the passage mainly about?A. Some places for weekend breakB. A way to become creative in artC. The colorful life in the country side.D. Unknown stories of Cambridge University (C) How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often haveneither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else )Registereddietitian Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help. Go for nutrientdense foods,she suggests,foods that contain a multiple of nutrients.For example,select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food,rather than coffee cake. Ordrink orange juice rather than orange drink,which contains only a small percentage of realjuice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just cant compare the value of thesefoods, the nutrientdense ones are so superior,she emphasizes. Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life,its the foundation of a healthfuldiet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only almost impossible to keep upthe strength,they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients arent supplied in enoughamounts or balance. According to Morrissey,trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses,or make yousuperwoman isa fruitless search. As women,many of us are too concerned with stayingthin,she says,and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food. We need carbohydrates,protein and fatthey are like the wood in the fireplace. Thevitamins and minerals are like the match,the spark,for the fuel,she explains. We needthem all,but in a very different proportions(部分).And if the fuel isnt there,the spark isuseless.63From the first paragraph we know that working women_.Athink cooking is especially complicatedBdo not share the same views with registered dietitiansCare busy and not interested in cookingDare likely to eat healthfully64Orange juice is different from orange drink because_.Ait contains only a small percentage of real juiceBit is natural,nutritious and prepared from real orangesCit is largely orangecolored sugar waterDit produces nothing but calories65In Paragraph 4,a fruitless search means _Aan effort with no resultsBa search for a diet without fruitsCa research on fruitless dietDa diet serving as medicine66Many women take it for granted,according to the passage that_.Aa balanced diet can result in being fatBstaying thin and healthy are both possibleClack of variety in diets leads to staying thinDvitamins are some kind of substitutions(代替物)for foodSection C (8)Direction:Read the following passage and then choose the most suitable headings from the list below for the passage.Note that there are two extra headings.A.Those are the risks you should jump to take.B.Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.C.Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.D.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.AB.However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.AC.New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation. The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes We decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking._67_Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why？ Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work. The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring._68_As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on ration to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk. So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then？ Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one Killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it.It all depends on your ch
