a. because he could have a new friend.b. because he finally got what he had lost.c. because the two boys could surf the internet together.d. because he could have a positive influence on a life of a young person. b what happens when a big meat eater is removed from its home? what happens when it comes back? the answers became clear in yellowstone national park, the oldest national park in the united states.the story began more than 100 years ago, when most people wanted to kill off all wolves for many reasons. ranchers (农场经营者) were angry that wolves killed some of their sheep and cattle. park visitors loved to see deer, and wolves hunted them, too. at the time, people thought that wolves would eat humans. so people began to exterminate wolves throughout north america. in 1926, the last wolf in yellowstone was killed.once the wolves were gone, mysterious changes began to happen in the park. trees began to die. fewer birds nested in the park. beavers (河狸) left to find new places to live. more and more wildlife disappeared.wildlife biologists realized that wolves had been important to the park. one winter morning in 1995, the first of several wolves was set free in the park, but a lot had changed in yellowstone. could the wolves survive there?naturalist jim garry remembers leading a class of wolf watchers when they heard their first wolf. “we never saw the wolf, only heard a howl(嚎叫). our hair stood on end. our frozen smiles widened. silently we put our thumbs up in a universal sign of success!” now songbirds have returned to the park. in the trees, the birds can hide, find insects to eat, and build nests. tall trees act like big beach umbrellas over streams. as the trees came back, so did the beavers.not everyone agrees that wolves should travel free. after all, some wolves still take ranchers sheep and cattle. but today we know the wolf plays an important role. the wolf is a keystone animal - an animal that many others depend on for their survival.55. the underlined word “exterminate” in paragraph 2 probably means _. a. eat b. drivec. kill d. raise56. from jim garrys words, we can learn that _. a. wolves survived very well in the parkb. wolves brought about changes in the parkc. they were glad that no wolves were in sightd. they were afraid of being attacked by wolves57. we know from the last two paragraphs that _. a. the park now takes on a new lookb. more wolves should be put into the parkc. ranchers dont realize the importance of wolvesd. wolves should be stopped from harming sheep and cattle58. what would be the best title for the passage? a. wolves are not bad guysb. bringing back the wolvesc. keeping the balance of natured. animals in yellowstone national park c when was the last time you were late and expected someone to understand? how about the time you left your dishes on the table for someone else to clean up? or perhaps you left the lid on the peanut butter jar loose, and the person after you opened the jar to find it dry and not fresh. often, we are eager to ignore our own faults. but we have higher standards when it comes to our expectations of someone else who has the same expectations. we need to as equally understand the weaknesses of others and excuse them just as we excuse ourselves. two of my strengths are punctuality(准时) and organization. i like to meet deadlines when they are due and keep the space around my computer neat and orderly. but sometimes things happen, and i slip from being perfect. when this happens, i show myself mercy and lower the standard for myself. however, if someone else makes a mess around my computer, i might not show them as much mercy as i show myself. if it can happen to me, then i should be willing to realize that it can happen to someone else as well. i am not suggesting that we should not work on improving our faults, or that it should be right to be late or leave a mess behind us. although we should always be working towards self-improvement, we shouldnt have a double standard that says we are excused from our own mistakes but we cannot excuse someone else. if we are not 100-percent perfect, we shouldnt expect others to be. mercy shows an understanding heart. if we are blind to our own faults, we will not be very merciful towards others. showing a little mercy goes a long way when lifes little mistakes take place. when the tables are turned, showing mercy towards someones shortcomings could cause us to receive some in return.59. from the first paragraph we can learn that_. a. we all need private space b. we all make a mess sometimes c. we should accept others help with gratitude d. we should not open the lid on the peanut butter jar60. how does the author develop the third paragraph? a. by raising questions.b. by giving examples. c. by analyzing opinions.d. by showing research findings.61. the underlined part,“when the tables are turned” in the last paragraph, can be best replaced by_. a. “when good luck comes”b. “when benefits increase” c. “when our mistakes happen”d. “when the situation is changed”62. what would be the best title for this passage? a. changing bad daily habitsb. excusing our own faults c. being merciful toward othersd. working toward self-improvement ddear sir or madam,i recently started studying under the guidance of an english lady lecturer, an expert in the field. however, during our discussions she tends to interrupt me. i hold myself back from fighting head to head or saying something back but this makes me feel bad. how would one be confident in front of a headstrong woman? she is a kind person at heart, but if i am too careful not to hurt her feelings i will probably end up hurting myself. what would you say? christie hutch, sydney, australiadear christie,the student and teacher relationship is an important but sensitive one. the student is expected to reply and take part. but he or she should never fight head to head. the teacher is set in authority(权威) over you. this is not a boxing match. she is trying to help you. according to the name, she knows more than you do, and her opinions are worth more than yours. if she doesnt, you are going to the wrong teacher. consider yourself lucky to be in the hands of an expert. bite your tongue. learn from her. experts are allowed to be intolerant. i learnt from impossible experts who tolerated(容忍) no different opinions, and shy experts who made me think that my opinion was worth more than theirs. head wood, london, uk63. what does head wood probably do?
