I took a tiny tent and set it up on the shore of bay. The big telescope was set up in the mouth of the tent in such a way that I could observe the wolves day and night. Quite by accident I had pitched my tent within ten yards of one of the major paths used by the wolves. Shortly after I had taken up residence, one of the wolves came back and discovered me and my tent, but he did not stop or hesitate in his pace. Later, one or more wolves used the track past my tent and never did they show the slightest interest in me. I felt uncomfortable at being so totally ignored. The next day I noticed a male wolf make boundary markers by passing water on the rounds of his family lands. Once I had become aware of the strong feeling of property rights which existed among the wolves, I decided to use this knowledge to make them at least recognize my existence. One evening, after they had gone off for their regular nightly hunt, I marked out a property claim of my own, including a long section of the wolves path. In order to ensure that my claim would not be overlooked, I made a property mark on stones, dumps of moss, and patches of vegetation with a lot of tea. Before the hunters came back, task was done, and I retired, somewhat exhausted, to observe results. A few minutes later the leading male appeared. As usual he did not bother to glance at the tent, but when he reached the point where my property line went across the trail, he stopped as abruptly as if he had run into an invisible wall. Cautiously he extended his nose and sniffed at one of my marked bushes. After a minute of hesitation he backed away a few yards and sat down. Then, he looked directly at the tent and at me. His glare seemed to become fiercer as I attempted to stare him down. The situation was becoming intolerable. To break the impasse（僵局） I turned my back on the wolf. Then quickly, and with an air of decision, he turned his attention away from me and began a systematic tour of the area I had marked out as my own. As he came to each boundary marker he sniffed it once or twice, then carefully placed his mark on the outside of mine. 41. The author is very likely to be a _.A. hunterB. biologistC. journalist D. traveler42. Why did the wolves ignore the authors presence?A. Because his tent was out of the wolves estate boundariesB. Because the author has just arrived at the spot.C. Because the wolves were too busy to notice him.D. Because the wolves were afraid of strangers. 43. Which is true according to the passage?A. The author enjoys staring matches with wolvesB. Claiming the land was kind of dangerous.C. Wolves can see the estate boundaries clearly with their eyes. D. The author managed to know why the wolves ignored his presence. 44. What was the authors discovery? A. Wolves are migrant beasts, as is almost universally believed. B. Wolves are settled beasts and possessors of an estate with definite boundaries. C. Wolves are not interested in strangers.D. Wolves family is dominated by a female. 45. Why did the author mark out an area of his own?A. Because he thought it better to be stared at than to be ignored. B. Because he didnt want the wolves to use the track past his tent.C. Because he wanted the wolves to take notice of his existence. D. Because he wanted to find out how fierce the wolfs glare was.BIn Western countries people have been using the installment plan since the first half of the twentieth century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. In the U.S., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan. The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. There is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. This may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression. This is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.46. Which of the following is NOT true about the installment plan?A. A lot of British families use the installment plan.B. More than 10 percent American families buy things on installments.C. Americans depend more on installment than British people do.D. Americans spend one tenth of their income on installment buying.47. Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because _.A. the buyer has to pay extra money as interestB. the delivery of the goods charges extra moneyC. the buyer has to pay a down paymentD. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money48. What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments?A. He might lose his job.B. He will stop using the item he has bought.C. He will have to sell what he has bought.D. He will go into debt.49. The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that _.A. purchasing power is strengthenedB. employment might be increasedC. people develop a good habit of saving moneyD. young couples are able to furnish their homes50. In some countries, the governments control the installment plan to _.A. increase employmentB. avoid depressionsC. ensure that businesses make good profitsD. ensure that people can pay for what they buyCThough nearly all novelists report what at least some of the characters in their works are thinking about, few writers attempt to recreate all of the thoughts and half thoughts that race constantly through any individuals mind. Those writers who do rely on a technique called stream of consciousness. Consider for a moment what goes on in your own mind at any given moment. You may be consciously thinking, for example, of what you are reading on this page. Below this conscious level, however, hundreds of other impressions might be floating about - a concert you attended last night, a sudden noise outside, a sight in the room as you glance up that makes you think of something related. Most of these images or ideas are half-formed and fleeting, and usually you are barely aware of them. Yet a writer using stream of consciousness attempts to put this jumble of concepts onto the printed page.Many novels include short snatches of stream of consciousness, usually characterized by long or half-formed sentences and free association from one idea to the next. Few writers attempt to sustain the technique for long stretches, though there are some notable exceptions. James Joyce uses the technique extensively throughout his novel Ulysses, the story of one characters experiences - and reflections - as he wanders through Dublin on a single day. William Faulkner uses it in The Sound and the Fury to probe the thoughts of three characters, including one of limited mental ability. Virginia Woolf uses it in The Waves, as she allows the reader to inhabit the minds of six friends as they pass through the stages of their lives. These works are some of the most challenging yet critically acclaimed novels of the 20th century.51. The best title for this passage would be _.A. The Genius of Joyce and FaulknerB. A History of Stream of ConsciousnessC. Stream of Consciousness NovelsD. Great Novelists of Stream of Consciousness52. Ulysses is a novel that _.A. traces the stages of its characters livesB. includes short snatches of stream of consciousnessC. is set in England D. takes place in one day53. Stream of consciousness is a _.A. technique that most readers enjoyB. difficult technique to pull off successfullyC. technique used by most writers todayD. way of analyzing historical events54. The writer explains “stream of consciousness” by _.A. asking the reader to consider his or her own thought processesB. giving examples from novelsC. explaining who originated the termD. giving a dictionary definition55. The underlined word “acclaimed” in the last sentence means _.A. criticized B. praised C. sold D. copied第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请将答案填写在答题卡标号为56-60的相应位置上.注意：E=AB; F=CDHere are five letters from readers listed in 56-60.

In each passage, you give us some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as far as my knowledge is concerned, I think you should give us not only the Chinese meaning but also the English meaning so as to know the words more accurately. Thank you!60.

Thank you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think the best way to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words around it. Also, if you have an English dictionary, its good to look up the words and then mark them down
