Why is a fed bear a dead one? According to a friend, many travelers used to throw their food from their cars for the bears. 32 , the bears turned to the roadside for food and slowly lost their ability to take care of themselves. When winter came, fewer travelers took to the mountains, which 33 less food for the bears, some of whom starved or frozen to death. So the Canadian government 34 warning signs along the road, essentially advising people not to feed the bears.This reminded me of a scientific experiment. Some white mice were 35_ into two groups. One group spent their days only eating and sleeping, 36 the other, fed only with half the amount of food 37 , had to search for food. Half a year later, scientists found that the mice that had to search for their own food were 38 , while the fully fed ones were either ill or dead. It was 39 that the underfed white mice, in the 40 of searching for their food, had kept healthy by exercising in finding food, being adaptable, and 41 their immunity(免疫功能).Many over-concerned parents are feeding their children like 42 or white mice.

The Website reported that Yungang Grottoes, located on the southern foot of Wuzhou Hill, 16 kilometers west of Datong in Shanxi Province, has been severely damaged by human activities and natural influences. “If we do not take action, the grottoes will be gone forever,” a researcher from the Yungang Grottoes Research Institute said.The grotto complex(联合体) is composed of more than 51,000 Buddhist statues, ranging from 3 centimeters to 17 meters in height. Most of them were constructed during the Wei Dynasty in the mid-fifth century.“Water penetration(渗透) is a major natural destroyer of the grottoes”, said Director Yuan Jinghu. With the downpours directly washing their bodies, and the accumulated(积聚的) water eating out their basements, the statues suffer the most in July, August and September, when large quantities of rainfall hit the region.But weather is not the only source of the damage. Datong, the city where the statues sit, is a longtime industrial city famous for its coal production. The floating coal dust, mixed with the sulfur dioxide(二氧化硫) produced from coal burning, is another murder. Although the government has spent over one hundred million yuan for the construction of a new coal transport route far from the Yungang Grottoes and a large annual sum to maintain the grottoes, there is still another threat, in the form of increasing numbers of tourists.“Besides the intentional damages, such as littering and touching or improper climbing, the carbon dioxide that humans breathe out is also harmful to the statues,” the director said. Yuan is concerned for the future of the statues, and said that as humans, visitors should understand and respect the statues importance. The statues have lives like human beings, and if we protect them, they will live. If not, they will die, and later generations will never have the chance to take a look at such glorious art.46. The text is mainly about _.A. the history of Yungang Grottoes B. the ways to protect Yungang GrottoesC. the situation of Yungang Grottoes D. the importance of Yungang Grottoes47. How many causes of the damage to Yungang Grottoes are mentioned in the text?A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 548. All of the following may contribute to the damage of Yungang Grottoes EXCEPT_.A. touching too much B. throwing rubbish thereC. improper climbing D. taking photos of the statues49. What can be inferred from this text?A. Many people want to destroy the grottoes in Yungang completely.B. The government has taken measures to protect Yungang Grottoes.C. The grottoes in Yungang will disappear forever on the earth soon.D. No people will be allowed to visit Yungang Grottoes in the future.50. Which of the following statements would the writer probably agree with?A. The tallest Buddihist statue in Yungang Grottoes is 17 meters high.B. All the statues in Yungang Grottoes were built in the Wei Dynasty.C. The statues will suffer the most in winter because of coal production.D. There are at most 51,000 Buddhist statues in all in Yungang Grottoes.BDriving to a friends house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friends rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people, I myself included, usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountain jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply. Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibreglass. We have televisions, cell phones, papers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains and perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.51. The best title for the passage would be _.A. Touched by the moonB. The pleasures of modern lifeC. A bottomless well of silenceD. Break away from modern life52. The writer felt sorry for himself because _.A. there was too much pollutionB. he usually failed to see the fullest moonC. he didnt get used to modern inventionsD. there were many accidents on the road53. What impressed the writer most in the mountain jungle of northern India?A. No modern equipment.B. Complete silence.C. The nice moonlight.D. The high mountains.54. Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to _.A. show that the writer likes city life very muchB. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern lifeC. explain that people have less chances to enjoy natureD. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them55. The author wrote the passage to _.A. express the feeling of returning to natureB. show the love for the moonlightC. advise modern people to learn to liveD. want to communicate the longing for modern lifeCTwo American scientists told the people in industrial nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on earth, but the way we live has changed greatly. Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times. So they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes ( 中风 ) are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that early stone-age people used very little alcohol ( 酒精 ) or tobacco, probably none. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and life today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals. They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables, and fruits. They did not use milk and other dairy products, and they made a very little use of grains. But today, we eat a large amount of dairy products and grain foods. We eat six times more salt than stone-age people. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less Vitamin C.People today probably do not want to live as people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate as those ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods.56. The people in industrial nations would be much healthier if they ate _.A. more food as humans living 10,000 years ago didB. as humans living 10,000 years agoC. more kinds of food eaten by people living 10,000 years agoD. more of the same kind of food eaten by people over 10,000 years ago57. New kinds of sicknesses have been found because _.A. the human body has changed compared with human first appearing on earthB. the way we live has changed a littleC. our body cant deal with the changes in life styleD. the way we live today is proper for the human body58.What is the main cause mentioned in the article why people suffer from a lot of new sicknesses?A. Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise.B. People today have a lot of alcohol.C. People today have more tobacco.D. Food is quite different between life today and life in ancient times.59.Stone-age people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of _.A. milk and other dairy productsB. grain foods and farm animalsC. salt and sugarD. wild animals, fresh wild vegetables and fruits60.From this article, we know that the following choices are good to our health except _.A. protein and Vitamin CB. milk and grain foodsC. wild animals, vegetables and fruitsD. a huge amount of fatty, salty and sweet foodsDWith only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. Thats more similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called Noahs Ark. Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎) and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & MS College of Veterinary Medici
