scientists are not sure. some think that as the mountain lion population increases in the west, younger wild cats are leaving the area. these cats are searching for new homes and new places for food. “the young males are looking for new homes,” says lynn sadler, who is the director of the mountain lion foundation in sacramento, calif. “people tend to create too many barriers, such as buildings, fences, roads, and noise. as the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources, these barriers get in their way.” the sightings(亲眼目睹) have made people increasingly watchful (警惕的). sometimes the “mountain lions” that people report seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats. but at least a few of the meetings have been real. the building of new roads, the growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdoor activities are all increasing the chances that people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion. because many people are concerned about the reappearance of the american lion, an expert outlined some ways they can avoid attracting the wild cats: never leave pets or pet food outside; properly care for farm animals; and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another. “to be fair,” says the expert, “mountain lions are trying to regain their homes. they were here first. now we need to find ways we can live together.”63. mountain lions are moving probably because _. a. the suburbs of big cities are peaceful and quiet b. more roads are being built into the mountains c. the number of the lions increases in the west d. young lions are seeking new partners64. according to the passage, it is clear that _. a. the reported sightings of mountain lions have not been proved b. people walking in the country may come across a lion c. fences have been built to protect the lions d. mountain lions prefer urban areas65. to avoid attracting mountain lions, people are advised _. a. to build more roads for the lions to move safely b. to keep a close watch on their farm animals c. not to stay outdoors d. not to raise pets66. which is the best title for the passage? a. mountain lions in unlikely places b. measures taken to avoid lions c. number of sightings going up d. mountain lion moving west（二）完形填空 my son was badly hurt in a fire. after he 36 from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months 37 it took long for the skin to stop shrinking. so, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch 38 on his face.i said to my son, “keaton, 39 will pay any more attention to your scar 40 you do. if it does not bother you, it will not bother others, 41 .” he took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head 42 high glad he was alive. 43 , everyone has scars and shortcomings. some of you may spend much time thinking that people 44 like you better, if you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer 45 .but you see, like keatons scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your 46 , or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false 47 .one of my friends in college was very 48 . at first, when people met him, they noticed his 49 for about 10 seconds. but this man felt good about himself and spent most of his time 50 about other peoples comfort and welfare. 51 , people ignored his looks. w*ww.k&s#5u.co*mwhat people 52 was his kindness and his concern for them. he didnt act in an ugly way so people didnt 53 him an ugly man.therefore, concentrate on 54 you value with yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same 55 .36acured brecovered cimproved dreturned37abecause bthough cuntil dbefore38acut bwound cinjure dscar39anone banyone ceveryone dno one 40aas blike cthan dwhen41ayetbstillctoodeither42aput bheld ctaken dhung43aafter all bin conclusion cin fact dabove all44awillbwouldccandmay45ahouse btelephone cjob dcar46aclothes bhairstyle cfigure dsalary47ameans bstandards ccomments drules48asmart boptimistic crude dugly49amanners bexpressions clooks dactions50ainquiringbaskingcknowingdcaring51acompletely bgradually cobviously dsuddenly52awanted bunderstood cbrought dsaw53aregardblookcconsiderdtreat54awhatbthatcwhichdhow55akindnessbconcerncbeautydperfection阅读理解 a adrians “amazing race” started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldnt hear a thing, not even loud noises. in a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的)，he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. however, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. she wanted him to lead a normal life. so after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words. later on, adrians parents decided to send him to a regular school. but the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular school couldnt take care of a special needs students. his parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work everyday because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. adrian made the grade and got accepted. it was a big challenge. the pace （节奏）was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasnt always easy. but he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school. the efforts made by adrian and his parents paid off. adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. he also achieved a lot in life outside school. he developed a love for the outdoors and went to nepal to climb mountains. he even entered the world yacht race 05/06- being the first hearing-impaired asian to do so. but none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother.” “if you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results.” she often said.41. how did adrian communicate with other children in the special school?a. by speaking. b. by using sign languagec. by reading lips d. by making loud noises42. adrians parents decided to send him to a regular school because .a. they wanted him to live a normal life b. they wanted to prove the headmaster wrongc. he wouldnt mix with other disabled children d. he wasnt taken good care of in the special school43. how did adrian finally succeed in his study?
